November 12: Biden's Customs and Border Protection commissioner, Chris Magnus, "is the first openly gay commissioner of the agency." On the other hand, he tried to enforce the border, so naturally Biden had no choice but to fire him.
Ann Coulter "This is the only "So Long, 2022!" column you need to read. I combed The New York Times' archives for all the pivotal moments.
"It turns out that 2022 was a MAJOR year for firsts. True, other years had their noteworthy events -- the first flight, the first man to walk on the moon, the first iPhone and so on. But step aside, 1903, 1969 and 2007! This past year was a goldmine of firsts. Below are just some of the epochal moments registered by the newspaper of broken record.
"January 5: "Adrienne Adams Makes History as First Black N.Y.C. Council Speaker."
Boise, Idaho, held a special parade to mark the occasion!
"February 13: Erin Jackson wins gold in the 500 meters, "becoming the first African American woman to win a medal" in speedskating.
If this historic trend continues, could we one day see a black man in the NBA?
"February 27: Burna Boy "will be the first Nigerian musician to headline Madison Square Garden."
Just think of how much history we have to look forward to -- the first Mauritian to headline MSG, the first Gambian to headline MSG. (There are unconfirmed rumors that a Djiboutian may have played cymbals at the Blue Note once, but apparently that moment was lost to history.)
"March 6: Memoirist Silvia Vasquez-Lavado is "the first openly gay woman to complete the Seven Summits and the first Peruvian woman to summit Everest.' ". . .
