I was hoping for better under the CBS News leadership of Bari Weiss, but, alarmingly, some of the Gorgon heads of the 'Communist Broadcasting System' revealed themselves again. A pox on them all.

I was suspicious of Bari Weiss long before she got there.

Those of Us who experienced the Free Press transition to the (Not So) Free Press are Not Surprised.

Excellent explanation of the Triumph Arch for Americas 250th Celebration . For 2 career bureaucrats ( political elites) to claim that the arch is a tribute to President Trump is not just ridiculous it smacks of jealousy and political grievances against our POTUS ! Build the ARCH and Help Celebrate America. Not. Political. Bickering ! Thank. You for this article with clarity about this project .

Thank you for another great article with concise history and analysis. I had no idea this was originally approved over 100 years ago. Of course there is some disgruntled group claiming the vapors because it is being done by President Trump. That is their beef, their sorry ass reason for opposing. The amount of lawsuits this President puts up with is staggering and ridiculous. I’m sick of the lawfare and TDS bitterness. Just stop.

Forget architecture, forget sightlines, forget airspace. This is about ignorance and cowardly concern for sophomoric reportrers and producers, running high and mighty over seasoned editors at what's left of the Tiffany Network. More like nutty buyers in Filene's Basement.

EXCELLENT writing. Thank you for the most detailed explanation about the questionable arch!

The truth always wins- eventually- thank you for doing it in real time. I hope the Viet Nam vets who

oppose the project are made aware that it's not a Trump Arch- I would bet they'll relent upon this reading.... sincerely, a lifelong Democrat.

"Civic confidence rendered in stone". Beautifully stated and so distant from the current cowardly cultural milieu.

Well CBS, as part of the Pravda Press brigade sucks bigly, we know that...

I am a Vet and CBS should be dismantled and forgotten forever. The vets have a right to speak even if they are terribly wrong.... Trump loves this country those that seem like they don't are getting paid or totally disturbed and fail to understand America if given the chance wants the best for all....

You lost me at the first sentence!!!

"On Memorial Day, the country pauses to honor the men who died in its uniform, and the men who came home and continued to serve the republic in quieter ways."

NO, Memorial Day is to honor those who died in uniform, PERIOD. It has nothing to do with those who came home and did other things.

DJ, service is a legacy that transcends death.

If Trump wants to write a check out of his own pocket for this arch, fine. Otherwise, we are 37 TRILLION in debt and Americans are suffering from out of control costs. No need to waste a penny of tax money on this.
