Thank you, Dan, for featuring Misty Copeland. It greatly pleases my heart that her talents have made such a great impact upon the world of classical ballet, yet still saddens me that so many others have so little recognition. She personifies the dreams I had as a young dancer only to be be cruelly ended by audition judges' comments such as "she's too dark", "she's too muscular" despite the delicate en pointe work, the soaring leaps and precision turns. It is not diversity or lack of that people should see in a dancer's artistry; it is the talent, heart and soul of the dancer expressed in their artistry that they should see.
Misty Copeland deserves all the applause and accolades that she is receiving!! She is a Ballet superstar and trailblazer for so many minority ballerinas! We are so blessed!!!
This is what a ballet dancer should look like not pre-puberty for some sick person fantasy man or woman. Best dancer in history. Sad to see her retire. Purely best qualified dancer.
There's a much better music streaming service called Tidal. Spotify is advertising for ICE. Indivisible is discussing a boycott of Spotify. I'd encourage the Steady team to look into the politics of Spotify which have been controversial for years, and consider switching patronage to Tidal.

Sorry America doesn’t have a leader of men. Trump is a leader of fools. He was a fluke, and won only because of a divided democrats. The far left want to be the face of the party. But they’re not. The don’t have the sentiment of the people. They can’t win in their own party, so certainly can’t win national elections. The biggest group is the independents. 45% of people recognized themselves as independent. Here’s the breakdown:
Democratic Party~27%
Vote Democrat
Republican Party~25%
Vote Republican
Independent lean Dem 17-20%
Usually vote Democrat
Independent lean GOP 15-18%
Usually vote Republican
True Independent 10%
Only 5% Independent identify as far left.
In the 2000 election many of the far left voted for Ralph Nader. That gave the presidency to George W. Bush.
In 2016, 12% of the Bernie bros voted for Donald Trump. 12% to 15% didn’t vote.
That gave the election to Donald Trump.
Someone can say that the far left elected, the two worst presidents in the history of Of America.
The far right knows this and uses the far left to their advantage. The GOP in 2016 bought advertising to help Bernie Sanders. The Russians use social media to help Bernie Sanders.
That’s how the far right defeated Hillary Clinton. She was their biggest fear. Also Trump’s and Putin’s biggest fear.
You one might ask themselves why would the far left help the far right. The answer is nebulous. If you ask someone on the far left they will deny the fact vigorously. They will say that it’s the Democrats, they’re pushed to the middle is the cause. But democrats only push to the middle because of the numbers show that’s where the American sentiment is. And as Abraham Lincoln said:
“Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.”
— Abraham Lincoln, 1858
It shows the far left doesn’t want the Democrats to succeed. It makes one think they may be in the control of the far right?
In the two most important elections in modern history, they helped elect the two worst presidents in American history.
And now they want to be the face of the Democratic Party. They’re all excited about Mamdani in NYC. Who are the far left? I know many and they are stuck on issues and they need instant gratification. As Hillary wrote in her book ‘How it happened” She mentioned the far left progressive that would come to her and want to make change. She showed them how to go about passing laws. The many tedious steps in the process. It takes time, it’s hard work, it could take years. But it’s lasting change.
They were totally turned off. They wanted change now. You can call it impulsive, petulant, immature? So do they really want change, or they do they just want what they want, because they want it?
Democrats have to get hold of the party that is mature, and work for change so that America, the greatest democracy in history can survive. I know the far left would just like the Democrats to stand back and let them rule. Have they earned the right? Their petulance and disrespect for Democratic leaders says no.
"They wanted change now. You can call it impulsive, petulant, immature? So do they really want change, or they do they just want what they want, because they want it?" Doesn't that define the MAGA Trump regime? I read a lot about the far left and I'm not finding the message unlike that of FDR, JFK, and Sanders, who I voted for (until he was bypassed by the DNC and the timidly moderate Dems). IMO Sanders, AOC and Mamdani best represent the liberal, green-curious, climate-aware, economically shafted working class American majority.
She is the gold standard of grace, dignity and proof of the value of diversity inclusion in all walks of life. It is an honor to just be able to watch her own the stage. Thank you to all who were there for her on her way up.

Thank you! Our diversity can be such a gift - if only we would try.

I love a reason to smile.
We have way too much not to smile about
Thanks for the smiles Dan Rather
She's also an example of paying it forward, teaching a new generation. An American icon. Yes.
She is the gold standard of grace, dignity and proof of the value of diversity inclusion in all walks of life. It is an honor to just be able to watch her own the stage. Thank you to all who were there for her on her way up.
Thank you for this beauty!
