Lunch video-----Citicorp Center | NYC skyscraper saved by a student’s question

"The Citicorp Center repair is a classic engineering case study of how mistakes must be avoided in engineering and construction of public works.  

A skyscraper in New York City needed a unique structural system. 

 While reviewing the design a student asked a question that made the engineer realize that a mistake had been made.  

There is a daring race to make the repairs for the building collapses. 

 The video gives the details and then discusses how the engineer handled the situation."

NYTimes claims American flag 'alienating to some' on July 4
"The New York Times sparked fireworks with an Independence Day report on the political implications of displaying the American flag — just weeks after being forced to defend an editorial writer who said she was “really disturbed” to see Old Glory flown by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
The Times article — with the online headline “A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite” — suggests that Trump supporters have embraced the flag “so fervently” that liberals have “all but ceded the national emblem to the right.”

“Today, flying the American flag from the back of a pickup truck or over a lawn is increasingly seen as a clue, albeit an imperfect one, to a person’s political affiliation in a deeply divided nation,” the Times tweeted on Saturday, with a link to their piece, “A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite.”...Read all.

AOC Says Not Doing Drugs Is White Supremacy - The Beltway Report

AOC Says Not Doing Drugs Is White Supremacy - The Beltway Report

On Friday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) (D-NY) called the International Olympic Committee’s anti-doping policy “racist and colonial” after the suspension of US sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson because of testing positive during last month’s US Olympic trials for a chemical that is found in marijuana...

A member of Congress should not be weighing in on something like this, but worse yet, AOC is telling people of color that it’s okay for them to break the rules because they’re people of color. That’s what she is doing when she claims the rules that apply to everyone are “racist and colonial.”...Read all.

Candice Miller: Rumors rampant on Detroit flooding cause

"A frustrated Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller said Wednesday she's waiting for answers on whether human error played a role in the weekend failure of the Detroit's Conners Creek Pump Station that contributed to massive flooding in Detroit and the Grosse Pointes. 

Miller said she's heard second-hand reports that

• backup generators didn't work at the facility run by the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) 
• and that the outside gates wouldn’t open, keeping workers from turning on generators. 

If true, she said she would have expected employees to ram the fence in such an emergency.

"The rumor mill is running rampant, I am asking the questions," Miller said. 

"I would like to know the answers. If there are no answers, well I guess I got to know that, too. Then we will know that we are sort of on our own."...Read all.

Nancy Pelosi Short-Circuits During Speech - Louder With Crowder

Nancy Pelosi Short-Circuits During Speech - Louder With Crowder: 

It shouldn't be funny to watch our leaders fall apart before our very eyes. Yet here we all are. Laughing as the president of the United States gets confused mid-story on the regular, makes up brand-new numbers, and forgets what we're supposed to be holding self-evident. Sadly, our puddingbrained president is NOT the only geriatric in the line of succession. There is also the 217-year-old Nancy Pelosi. Who at this point is more Botox than organism. Her programmers might need to download the latest updates. She can't handle all the lying without blowing a gasket.

Mental health crisis: Children at breaking point during COVID-19

"...In southeast Michigan, Marisa Springstead has sought more intensive mental-health services for her son, eventually filing suit. 

She’s still fighting. 

The photo has been blurred to shield the name of the school district. 

Marisa Springstead’s son is 15 years old. 

He now tops 200 pounds. 

He has broken her nose and twisted her wrist, she said. 

...This was true even before COVID-19. 

But over the last 16 months, as the pandemic closed schools and isolated young people, a mental health system held together by good intentions and Scotch tape is failing tens of thousands of children in places like Michigan and its neighbor, Indiana, leaving many families to manage despairing children on their own, particularly in rural areas...Read all.
