Major Milestone Alert: The Launch of the Federal Program Inventory! This Thursday marked a significant leap forward with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) unveiling its latest innovation: the Federal Program Inventory. A culmination of efforts that began in December 2020, this platform is a testament to the government's dedication to transparency and efficiency in showcasing its myriad programs. 🔍 What's Inside? For the moment, the inventory shines a spotlight on "domestic assistance" programs. This category, while not exhaustive, covers the lion's share of federal spending. From the pillars of Social Security and Medicare to the essential community block grants, the breadth of this inventory is impressive, featuring spending and performance data on 2,388 programs, as revealed by Diedre Harrison, OMB’s deputy controller. 📈 A Platform with a Promise Diedre Harrison shared insights with Federal News Network, emphasizing the inventory's role as a foundational tool for future enhancements. Despite the challenges in creating a comprehensive and continually improving platform, the OMB believes this launch sets a new standard. The aim is to enrich the database with higher quality data, additional variables, and new information, ensuring that this initiative is far from a one-off but a continuous journey towards improvement. 🚀 Why It Matters? This initiative represents a pivotal step towards empowering professionals, businesses, and communities with the information they need to navigate the plethora of federal programs available. By providing a detailed view of the government's domestic assistance efforts, the Federal Program Inventory opens doors to opportunities, fostering growth, collaboration, and innovation across various sectors. 💡 Embrace the Opportunity As this platform evolves, it invites us to explore, engage, and leverage the resources it offers. The Federal Program Inventory is not just a database; it's a bridge to understanding and accessing federal support in a way that was previously unattainable. Let's dive into this resource and discover how it can help us achieve our goals, drive progress, and contribute to a thriving future. #FederalProgramInventory #Innovation #Transparency #GovernmentEfficiency #PublicService

Our beliefs are based on little evidence, yet we fight over them. It is essential that we better understand the nature of our beliefs and learn to question and revise them.
Joe Boutte's insight:

In a sight not seen for more than two years, nearly 2,000 students, teachers and parent chaperones from throughout the Central Coast descended upon the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) for the return of Discovery Day at NPS, May 13, touring the university and interacting with the more than 40 inspirational Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) venues set up around the campus.

“Visiting students are going to get a cross-section of the services and NPS’ science displays in action, from physics to robotics to simulations and more, and potentially stir the juices to make them excited to study STEM further,” said U.S. Navy Capt.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's road trip highlighted a major problem in the push for more electric cars: There are still not enough chargers.
Joe Boutte's insight:
It's not surprising that Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Grantholm and her team had some challenges with EV chargers on their road trip to promote green energy. I hope the lessons learned on this 4-day trip spurs some new investment in the infrastructure and technology required for all Americans to travel the highways and byways without worry of where to charge or how long the wait might be. In a related article from NPR, Camila Domonoske identified the key concern for consumers, "worries about public chargers are the No. 1 reason why would-be EV buyers are reluctant to make the switch, even outranking concerns about high prices. And driver satisfaction with public chargers is getting worse, not better." In the meantime, if the Department of Energy would like to do more road trips, give me a call. I'd love to blaze the EV trail with the DOE in a Mach-E, Lyriq, BMW, Rivian, or any of the new EVs that are available. Ready to serve!

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman is narrator and executive producer of the History Channel documentary "761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers," about one of only a few African-American tank battalions that saw combat in World War II, at a time when the armed forces were still segregated. He talks with CBS News national security correspondent David Martin about the importance of bringing the story of the 761st to light.
Joe Boutte's insight:
🎖️ Honoring the Heroes of the 761st Tank Battalion 🎖️ Did you know about the "Black Panthers" of World War II? The 761st Tank Battalion, an African American armored unit, fought with distinction in a time when racial segregation was the norm in the US military. These brave soldiers faced prejudice both at home and on the frontlines but proved their valor, fighting in campaigns across Europe including the Battle of the Bulge. Their courage went on to pave the way for the eventual desegregation of the Armed Forces. Their motto, "Come out fighting," not only encapsulated their wartime resolve but also their determination for equality in a racially divided nation. Let's remember and celebrate these heroes today and always. Their story is a testament to the fact that bravery knows no color.
CBS Sunday Morning highlights this fighting unit and rescues this American history from obscurity as Morgan Freeman vows to tell their story in a new documentary.
Thanks to Trezzvant W. Anderson, war correspondent who wrote a contemporaneous account of the 761st Tank Battalion. His book, "Come Out Fighting: The Story of the 761st Tank Battalion - The First Black Tankers to Fight in World War II," was based on his firsthand experiences covering the battalion as a reporter. Anderson's account provides a unique perspective, offering insights into the daily lives, challenges, and triumphs of the battalion from someone who was there to witness them. It is an invaluable piece of history that captures the spirit and valor of the 761st amidst the backdrop of World War II.
In 1992, a documentary titled The Liberators: Fighting on Two Fronts in World War II was produced. The documentary depicted the battalion's liberation of concentration camps during 1945, but was criticized for misidentifying the units and camps involved. There was speculation that the movie was intended to reduce tensions between the Jewish and African-American communities.
In 2007, executive producer Steven A. White released an independent, feature length, high-definition documentary on the 761st Tank Battalion. The film, entitled 761st was written, produced, and directed by Pete Chatmon and produced by 761st Tank Battalion unit historian, Wayne Robinson. It features interviews with eleven combat veterans of the 761st and is narrated by Andre Braugher.
Several of the later episodes of The History Channel series Patton 360 featured 761st veteran William McBurney who related his experiences with the battalion in the Lorraine Campaign, the Battle of the Bulge, and in the ultimate conquest of the German homeland. In 2017, the National Park Service published a book titled The 761st Tank Battalion: The Original Black Panthers. The book was written by Edward G. Lengel, a historian and author who has written extensively about World War II.
Additionally, Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Anthony Walton wrote one of the most prominent histories of the 761st in "Come Out Fighting: The Epic Tale of the 761st Tank Battalion, 1942-1945." This book tells the inspiring story of the 761st Tank Battalion and how they bravely fought against both the enemy abroad and racism at home.

Declaration of Independence, in U.S. history, document that was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and that announced the separation of 13 North American British colonies from Great Britain. It explained why the Congress on July 2 “unanimously” by the votes of 12 colonies (with New York abstaining) had resolved that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be Free and Independent States.” Accordingly, the day on which final separation was officially voted was July 2, although the 4th, the day on which the Declaration of Independence was adopted, has always been celebrated in the
