With baseball on lockout, fans might soon start to feel starved of all the goodies teams offer to get people into the seats. Like bobbleheads.
But there is a new alternative brought to us by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. Co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar told Secrets that he’s adding a full set of America’s presidents and plans to sell copies.

“Each president played an important part in our country’s history, and we think people will enjoy this new series of presidential bobbleheads,” he said. The museum, based in Milwaukee, is selling each presidential bobblehead for $30.
- A top U.S. flag maker, Allegiance Flag Supply of Charleston, South Carolina, told us that they are kicking off a weeklong fundraiser for Ukraine. Founder Katie Lyon said that the firm is donating 10% of all online sales made through March 11 to Operation USA to support Ukrainian refugees. “At Allegiance Flag Supply, we know that an American flag is more than just a piece of fabric. The Stars and Stripes have, for generations, stood for the ideals of freedom and democracy in our own land and wherever brave Americans have carried it. Today, the people of Ukraine may be fighting under their own flag, but they’re fighting for those same ideals of freedom and democracy,” she said.

- Former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of the “Buckhead movement” in Atlanta this week has roots in his 2016 campaign, when the chief organizer of the effort switched from being a top Clinton fundraiser to joining the Trump train. Bill White, once the president of New York’s Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, raised millions for Trump’s two presidential campaigns before moving to Atlanta. Now Trump is helping White in backing the movement to break the Buckhead section away from crime-ridden Atlanta. “The good people of Buckhead don’t want to be a part of defunding the police and the high crime that’s plaguing their communities,” Trump said in one of his Save America statements. “Let the voters decide on the very popular City of Buckhead proposal!”
- It’s never too early for Christmas — or so the White House Historical Association hopes. It just released its 2022 ornament, and it is shaped like the gingerbread house version of the White House that presidential pastry chefs roll out every holiday season. For $24.95, it comes with a gingerbread-scented booklet and a recipe card featuring a gingerbread recipe from first lady Pat Nixon.
