Amazing what this country can do when we’re motivated, for a MAGA cause!
VERY impressive.
0blama certainly didn’t inspire anyone to produce....only to gripe and take.
Same with XiDen :-(
I’d forgotten about how quickly the Empire State Building was built, as compared to One World Center.
I’ve toured both, but it’s been a few years.
Amen.
Good morning, Gran and TFT! 🇺🇸
How horrible and so very sad.
Something young people have not learned today is actions have consequences.
Please keep us posted as to the sentencing of this malicious young man.
Tom Barrack, who chaired former President Donald Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee, was arrested Tuesday on charges that he unlawfully influenced the foreign policy positions of the campaign and administration to advance the interests of the United Arab Emirates, the Department of Justice said.
In a seven-count grand jury indictment, unsealed in a New York federal court, Barrack, 74, and two others are accused of “acting and conspiring to act as agents” of the UAE between April 2016 and April 2018, but without registering as foreign agents. Barrack was also charged with obstruction of justice and making multiple false statements to federal law enforcement agents.
The trio acted “to advance the interests of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the United States at the direction of senior UAE officials by influencing the foreign policy positions of the campaign of a candidate in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and, subsequently, the foreign policy positions of the U.S. government in the incoming administration, as well as seeking to influence public opinion in favor of UAE interests,” the Justice Department said.
Barrack, a longtime Trump friend, used that friendship to get language inserted into the then-candidate’s energy speech in 2016 about the importance of working with “our Gulf allies” at the behest of Emirati officials, the indictment said. After the election, and while he was chair of Trump’s inaugural committee, Barrack was asked by the officials for information on Trump’s picks to lead the Department of State, the CIA and the Department of Defense, the filing said.
Barrack was arrested in the Los Angeles area Tuesday morning, according to law enforcement officials familiar with the matter. A spokesperson for Barrack said he “has made himself voluntarily available to investigators from the outset. He is not guilty and will be pleading not guilty.”
Good morning, Jane.
More wisdom from Sen. Kennedy.
I love this man!!

Texas Democrats came to DC to play the victim, but there’s no basis for their complaints.
The TX voting bill allows for very generous early voting and absentee voting, and it requires people to prove they are who they say they are at the ballot box. Americans support that.

His joke at the end made me lose my sip of covfefe!! The one about how dumb they are.
He’s right on, about these TX fleebags.
More prosecutions of Trump supporters in order to discourage anyone from working for Trump.
Not going to work.
The “super spreader” TX flee bags!
Boy, has this backfired on them BIGLY.
No wonder they are called “The Greatest Generation.”
AMEN!
Even more amazing - in 1942 the US population was only 135 million (vs. an estimated 333 million in 2021).
And during the war years the population available to work the factories and produce those war goods was reduced by the huge build-up of the military.
SIZE OF US MILITARY IN WWII (Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard)1942 - 3,915,507
1943 - 9,195,912
1944 - 11,623,468
1945 - 12,209,238
RE: OLYMPICS
Not watching this year. Socialist propaganda.
Me as well.
Any team that kneels during the NAtional Anthem deserves to lose every event they are in.

I am continually amazed at the DOJ investigators who can seemingly find everyone connected with the Jan 6 riots - so far over 500 - but couldn’t find answers to Hillary’s missing emails, the Fast & Furious details, Hunter Biden overseas connections & more

My Mother-in-law in her early 20’s moved to Richmond, CA from OK to work in the ship yards.
From Wikipedia:
At the outset of World War II, the four Richmond Shipyards were built along Richmond’s waterfront, employing thousands of workers, many recruited from other parts of the country, including many African-Americans and women entering the workforce for the first time. Many of these workers lived in specially constructed houses scattered throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Richmond, Berkeley and Albany. A specially built rail line, the Shipyard Railway, transported workers to the shipyards. Kaiser’s Richmond shipyards built 747 Victory and Liberty ships for the war effort, more than any other site in the U.S.[24] The city broke many records and even built a Liberty ship in a record five days. On average the yards could build a ship in 30 days.
I read that before. Terrible.
