The throngs of New Yorkers who poured into Coney Island on a sweltering Sunday in July 1939 — shuffling past the rides, hot-dog stands and freak shows — confronted one last spectacle blaring just beyond the surf.
At 65 feet and outfitted with enormous Trump signs, the yacht called the Trump Show Boat was hard to miss. And that was the point.
Its loudspeakers blasted recordings of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America” over and over, compelling many sunbathers, reluctant to be seen as unpatriotic, to stand and salute each time. When the boat floated swordfish-shaped balloons — redeemable for $25 or $250 toward a new Trump Home — toward the shore, bathers nearly rioted as they raced to snatch them up.

First Lib: "Did you read that article today on p. 16?"
Second Lib: "The one about the discrimination transgendered Native Americans face on college campuses in some western states. I hate Republicans."
First Lib: "Well, that goes without saying."
Second Lib: "I do love Hillary's plans to tax the middle class out of existence."
First Lib: "Oh, yes, I read that. It was on page 8."
His “showboating”, and “self promotion” is the reason he’s so successful today.
The media, like hillRy, Obama, etc, never had a real job. They don’t understand what it takes.
As a business that relies on phoney showmanship, promos, make-up, capped teeth, and short skirts, the media should be the las to criticize “self-promotion”.
I guess those commercials they play every 5 minutes don’t have a thing to do with “promotion” either.
The media is a dumb lot. A collective group of children seeking the public attention, and approval (ratings), to salve their fragile egos. A group axe to grind against those who don’t agree with them.
Objective news reporting is dead.
Very pretty houses. I hated Tudor as a kid but have grown to really appreciate their beauty. And they are quite light and airy inside. Queens is overrun with them - including Middle Village where my family is mostly buried, lol!
Would scrap lumber bits be good for use as FIREWOOD?
We live out in the sticks & have a woodstove. Most people
in town have fireplaces if they have any alternate source
of heat at all. - Would there be any way to stick these
bits of wood together with some sort of safe resin to form
some kind of shapes that would fit in the fireplace?
Kindling is good for us. We gather sticks off the place
that fall from the trees. Most years, too, we have a tree
or two felled by lightning strikes. - We also have a wood
splitter (gasoline powered) that is a godsend.
A good skill to have if you want to succeed.
You need to burn well-dried, preferably aged hardwood in a wood stove. White pine such as used in house construction is often too soft and contains too much oil. Softer or greener woods are not safe. They will coat the inside of your chimney with a combustible slick. One thing you do not want is a raging fire inside your chimney. It can burn your whole house down.
Especially NEVER burn any chemical-treated lumber, pressure-treated lumber, painted or pre-primed wood, or any lumber that has been glued together, like plywood or particle board.
In college I dated a guy whose family owned one of those tudor rows in Jamaica. A really nice house. Good times!
Burning green wood is going to produce a lot of smoke and a lot of crackling noise, but not so much warmth. But, burning pine in a wood stove has always been regarded as OK here, so long as you keep a very hot fire going, which keeps the buildup in the flue from accumulating and catching fire later. If you’re using pine to heat your house and keep the stove glowing, it’ll work. If you’re just occasionally burning it, don’t use pine.
Knowingly or not, his candidacy has a thing or two in common with the Framers' ideal.

Any family photos of obama with his parents or the Clintons with their parents?
Donald looks like he gets along with his folks.
Ping to the above comment 28 by RegulatorCountry about burning pine.
Sounds like your pine is well-aged forest tree fall or cut and stacked to dry. But the post was asking about using mill ends of lumber. Often that wood is much too green. My upper floor celing separates from the wall a half inch every winter and closes every summer because the lumber was too green and soft.
