The inane bickering of Trump and Musk is insignificant on this day we remember the courage of the allies storming the deadly beaches at Normandy. Over 200,000 Naval and military allies from 13 countries led by the US and Britain came ashore to hails of bullets and artillary resistance. Over 4400 died this day 81 years ago. Lives lost to protect freedom from Tyranny. Remembering is all that matters today.
I buried my records in their vinyl resting place. It was sad.

The rumors brimming to the top have Putin being called to negotiate peace between Musk and Trump.
ICE seems to have a way of creating lots of living martyrs.
The competitive spirit keeps a lot of people moving along instead of giving up.
Why do tourist towns decide to start road construction just at the time when tourists start to come. That should give us an idea of the intelligence of people spending our tax dollars.
After seeing the stories that national media's reports to present as news, I'm beginning to think there just isn't anything left worth writing about.
I find my golf game improves when I concentrate on the interface between the ball and the club head instead of dreaming about where it might go and then looking up to watch it... and seeing nothing there.
Condoleezza Rice is one of my all-time favorite public figures.
Uranus is the butt of many astronomy jokes.
Value is based on whatever somebody is willing to pay for something. That’s why Bitcoin like a baseball uniform with real player sweat goes for way more than rational human would expect.
I watch water boil and wait for seeds to peek though earth. I have way too much time in my hands.
I'd like to write about politics more, but the logic of it all has disintegrated way too much for me rationally explain it. Unless the people wake up, I feel every succeeding administration will only be about revenge and degrading. And that is a sad waste of human intelligence.

The Answer:
Regardless of political leanings, I would say that generally Secretaries of State work very hard and did a lot for this country, The Secretaries of State with the longest terms in office are Cordell Hull, Dean Rusk, William H. Stewart, Hamilton Fish and James Madison. The shortest were Elihu Washburne, Robert Bacon, Lawrence Eagleburger, Jerimiah Black, Edward Everette and of course Marco Rubio who has just started. But the answer to the question is Marco Rubio, Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, Rex Tillerson, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Madeline Albright and Lawrence Eagleburger. Since Eagleburger was only there days, I'll add Jim Baker and George Schultz. Oh Yeah, and Alexander Haig, the only SoS who was third in line for the Presidency.
