It’s been 299 days since climate czar John Kerry was asked to share his staff payroll.

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Herald May 13, 2021, continues to be ignored by Kerry.

The State Department says the records are available, but they add: “The Office of Information Programs and Services’ electronic records system indicates this request is in process and has an estimated date of completion (EDC) of Oct. 1, 2024. Please note EDC’s are estimates and are subject to change.”

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ & ‘Roe v. Wade’: The Film Appealed to the Masses as Supreme Court Ruling Consigned a Generation to ‘Nonexistence’

COMMENTARY: How many George Baileys were to be scrubbed from history?

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, INDEED

It was this combination of circumstances — lack of copyright renewal and the omnipresent nature of television — that made It’s a Wonderful Life the much-loved classic it is today. Having dropped into the public domain, the movie was fair game for endless airings by television networks only too happy annually to screen this seasonal classic. Despite subsequent legal wrangling and attempts to reinstate the copyright, the film was to remain in the public domain until the 1990s. So, for 20 years, this 1946 film enjoyed a larger audience than it could ever have hoped for upon release.

Thus began the mysterious afterlife of George Bailey and Clarence. Films date quickly, even classics. Eventually their attachment to a certain time can become part of their charm, but this takes time. The thing about It’s a Wonderful Life is it is essentially timeless. It is not situated in the world of 1946 in any recognisable sense. Instead, with the air of a fairy tale, the story could be set in any time and every time. So, in the case of Capra’s film, its newfound appreciation had little to do with period charm. https://www.ncregister.com/features/it-s-a-wonderful-life-roe-v-wade-the-film-appealed-to-the-masses-as-supreme-court-ruling-consigned-a-generation-to-nonexistence
