I love Rachel's smile. I was just thinking about Michael Fanone (J6 Defender) but he doesn't do much content. There's HCR but I think she is even a bit clickbaity. Charlie Angus for Canada. Denys Davdov for Ukraine. On the outraged Christian side there's Amy Hawk, Brother Paul and Truth Speaks.

The rotten monster has been at it for ages. Bonwit Teller 1980 Trump just turned 34 years old. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the ground and shattered in a million pieces."

Preservation News July 1980 New York City trumped Developer smashes panels By Michael Leccese Two irreplacable Art Deco sculptures were smashed by jackhammers last month under orders from a New York City developer who had promised them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The 15-foot-high stone bas-relief sculprures, which depicted semi-nude goddesses, were part of the Bonwit-Teller building (Warren and Wetmore, 1929) on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue at S6th Street. Developer Donald Trump bought the structure recently and was demolishing it to build a 62-story. $100 million mixed-use glass tower. In addition, a 15-by-25 foot nickel. plated grille that had adorned the build. ing's facade has been missing since it was supposed to have been shipped to a New Jersey warehouse. Neither the Trump Organization nor the warehouse has any idea of the whereabouts of the hefty....MotherJones To build his skyscraper, Trump first had to knock down the Bonwit Teller building, a luxurious limestone building erected in 1929. The face of the building featured two huge Art Deco friezes that the Metropolitan Museum of Art wanted to preserve. The museum asked Trump to save the sculptures and donate them, and the mogul agreed-as long as the cost of doing so wasn't too high. But then, according to journalist Harry Hurt Ill in his book Lost Tycoon, Trump discovered that taking out the sculptures would delay demolition by two weeks. He wasn't willing to wait. "On his orders, the demolition workers cut up the grillwork with acetylene torches," Hurt wrote. "Then they jackhammered the friezes, dislodged them with crowbars, and pushed the remains inside the building, where they fell to the floor and shattered in a million pieces."In 1980, under pressure to begin construction on what would become his signature project, Donald Trump employed a crew of 200 undocumented Polish workers who worked in 12-hour shifts, without gloves, hard hats or masks, to demolish the Bonwit Teller building on New York's Fifth Avenue, where the 58-story, golden-hued Trump Tower now stands. The workers were paid as little as $4 (£3) an hour for their dangerous labour, less than half the union wage, if they got paid at all.

🚨NEW: They locked migrants in tiny metal cages and called them “calming areas.” Now a federal watchdog is exposing what happened inside “Alligator Alcatraz.”

The truth finally comes out. The contractor behind the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation says the peeling and blistering of the pool’s new blue liner was caused by mistakes made during the repair itself.

I absolutely LOVE this. Christian Bale spent roughly 17 years fighting to make this happen. This week, his foster-care village opened in Palmdale, California: 12 homes built specifically to help keep siblings together when they enter foster care.
