Let’s talk reflecting pool. Warren G. Harding built it on swampland and the structure beneath it would have been fine - if it had been built on stable ground. The whole thing started sinking slowly.

Presidents all the way up through Carter kept trying to prop it up with little cement pours, and regularly draining and cleaning it. Algae was a problem even then because there was no real circulation system. No pumps. No filters.

Reagan added some more concrete, realizing the entire pool was now 12 or 13 inches lower than it should be. It had sunk over a foot and pulled loose from its structure.

Clinton publicly acknowledged that the entire pool needed demolished and rebuilt, and that it would take hundreds of millions of dollars to do it right.

The Bushes just kept trying to plug leaks and clean it. Every time they had to drain and scrub the thing, it cost around $100,000 to do so. George W. Bush actually had plans drawn up to rebuild it. 

Obama decided to revise and execute the Bush renovation, which was needed, but it was flawed, and he spent tens of millions of dollars on it. He raised the pool up with a timber under-structure so the water ended up being even shallower, which means that’s the point at which the water started getting warmer. He also turned off the chlorinated city water supply into the pool and began pumping water in from the tidal basin - that’s the somewhat stagnant water that comes in from the Potomac River and surrounds the Jefferson Memorial. There was algae before, but with those changes came even more algae. Obama‘s reasoning was that the basin water would be cheaper instead of using the city water supply. He had the pool tiles removed from the bottom and another layer gray cement put in place along with gray-tinted reflective paint, which gradually faded away.

By the time Trump’s first term came around, the cleaning had to be done every three or four months, some of the Obama structural repairs were failing, and the leaks were rampant again.

By the time Biden got into office, Obama’s reflecting pool fixes were cracked and the pool was leaking hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of gallons of water. Biden opted to clean the pool, but performed little maintenance, and did no substantial refurbishment.

Trump’s fix was to try something that the other presidents hadn’t. Whereas Obama had used a gray reflective paint and cement, Trump tried a combination sealant liner - it isn’t paint. Those sealants are similarly light-reflective to what Obama used. Trump switched up to blue from the dark gray. He added nanobubblers.

When we walked around it the other day, there was only a small patch on the middle of the left side that may have been coming up. It was too windy and stormy to see why. It was not as if the sealant was coming up all over the pool and floating to the top because it wasn’t. We did see the algae cleaning going on and the crews, you could tell, were tired of being harassed for doing their jobs. 

Vandals have damaged the grass, they’ve cut into the liner in other places and the knife lines are clear in the videos. We did see the National Guard soldiers coming in. We also saw them placed around the America 250 construction area and in between the museums. Five vandals have been arrested since we walked through. It’s unbelievable to me that they want to destroy something we could all enjoy out of hatred for a president whose policies they don’t even understand.  And the mainstream media is reprehensible. They aren’t reporting. They’re spinning propaganda as usual.

Former nuclear scientist here…

The hydrogen peroxide did not kill the duck.

The Reflecting Pool holds 6.75 MILLION gallons.

To reach a concentration that could actually threaten a duck, you would need over a TON of H₂O₂.

Literally hundreds of drums.

ALSO peroxide doesn’t even STAY in the water.

It decomposes within hours, wayyyyy faster in sunlight and even faster in warm summer water.

You literally could not hold a lethal concentration in that pool if you TRIED.

Leftists do not understand science at all while constantly saying to “trust the science”

Complete morons.

Also guess what H₂O₂ breaks down into?

H₂O (water) + O (Oxygen)

Literally just water and oxygen haha.

It is so safe that fish farmers pour it into tanks to TREAT their fish.

[DarkAdapted @DarkAdapted]

Interesting cultural moment, huh?

@FreddyLA7 guy and his buddies are checking off bucket-list items for other people left and right. Saints practice facility, meeting JJ Watt, personal tour of JSC by an astronaut, getting backstage passes and meeting a rising music star.

I don’t care how great your European trip was that summer in college. Freddy & the boys have won the Greatest Road Trip Of All Time award. Retire his license plate number. Hang a jersey in whatever rental car company HQ he has used.

I wonder how this is being reported in Germany. As generous as Americans are, this is…exceptional.

And how do you top this? How do you go back to being Friedrich from Düsseldorf or wherever? Short of the ship from ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ taking him aboard for a tour of the universe, where do you go from here?

Kind of makes you wonder if there is a Post-Beneficence Stress Disorder? He has got to be dealing with major imposter syndrome.

One really cool thing happening is an upside surprise.

After the fourth lifetime peak VIP experience in a week you cannot help but wonder “Um…why me?”

My expectation is that he will be told, everywhere and by every one:

Thank you for reminding who we are.

Thank you for enjoying the things we enjoy, for seeing things as they are and being honest about how you feel.

We have a national birthday coming up and we weren’t all that excited about it because we are divided and mischaracterized as badly in our own country as we are abroad.

Thank you for being a mirror to show us things that unite us. They may be goofy and overdone, but that’s pretty much who we are…and through your eyes, something we can take pride in.

Freddy is probably a very cool dude if you meet him, but really, this “historical winning streak” is a lot about us and how we want to see ourselves. I am happy for him. And us.

$90,000,000,000

That’s how much Big Pharma made off the Covid vaccines.

$90 billion.

And it turned out “safe and effective” was code for “cancer and myocarditis”.

Fauci and Big Pharma pushed it knowing it was dangerous.

They all need to be punished.

Crimes against humanity.

[Sharyl Attkisson 🕵️‍♂️💼🥋 @SharylAttkisson]

There’s another thing I’ve written and spoken about that Dr Fauci didn’t tell the truth about but nobody else flagged.
As he was going on comedy shows and testifying to Congress early on that Covid was “ten times deadlier than flu,” he actually co-published a scientific paper stating the opposite: Covid was about like a bad flu season.
At the time, I called his office for an interview — and although he was never shy, he wouldn’t agree to an interview with me.
I then asked his office to explain which of his statements was correct. One or the other had to be false, by definition.
Fauci’s office declined to answer.

[Sharyl Attkisson 🕵️‍♂️💼🥋 @SharylAttkisson]

Let me break it down in a simple way that I’ve been reporting from the beginning.
To invent a vaccine for a disease that didn’t exist, our scientific Einsteins used taxpayer money to partner with communist China to create the dangerous virus in a lab—So that they could create a vaccine for it.
Covid was a result of primarily US funded vaccine research, and that’s the thing they could not let you know.
They stopped at nothing to obfuscate, misdirect, cover their tracks, protect themselves, and controversialize anyone telling the truth.
The scientific establishment and media aided and abetted.
I can think of no more impactful, crimes and violations that have occurred in our lifetime.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Thank you, Tulsi, for documenting Dr. Fauci's central role in causing the COVID-19 pandemic — among the most consequential crimes in human history.

@Sydney_Supple @TexasTechSB H-E-B is a grocery chain that started in central Texas and they have a location in Lubbock. The H-E-B commercials end with the theme "Here Everything's Better". Maybe it reminds her of home.

[DblT81 🌵 @DblT81]

@primetimeMitch Alabama, as the #1 seed was likely to draw more viewers. Texas at #2 and Nebraska #4, all three got prime evening games. They would get attention from the casual viewers. Texas Tech was the #11 seed with day games. The surprise should be they finished as 2nd most watched.

Is Ole Miss really going to cheat and play a QB that the NCAA ruled ineligible but sued in court and had a Mississippi judge issue an injunction to allow him to play?

Unbelievable. Surely the SEC going to sue Ole Miss, right? The internet is going to lose their minds

[Fazir Ali @KingFazir]

Watching fans from all over the world experience America has been one of the coolest parts of this World Cup.

People are losing their minds over things most of us don’t even think about anymore:

- Free chips and salsa.
- Buc-ee’s.
- Massive grocery stores.
- Six-lane highways.
- Air conditioning everywhere.
- Endless refills.

Meanwhile, the tournament is being played in world-class stadiums that were already built. No rushed construction. No billion-dollar vanity projects.

It’s hard to ignore what visitors keep saying: the infrastructure is incredible, the people are welcoming, and the scale of everything is unlike anything they’ve seen before.

Sometimes it takes seeing your country through someone else’s eyes to appreciate what we have.

We take a lot of it for granted.

This is the coolest thing ever. We’re at NASA getting a tour from astronaut Anne McClain. This is us entering the Orion capsule that flew around the Moon in April.

[Flatland Sports🌵♠️ @flatland_sports]

Drake, respectfully. What the heck are you talking about?
Texas Tech became aware of Sorsby's gambling problem and immediately sent him to rehab and suspended him from the team.
They filed an appeal with the NCAA which was declined and they moved on.

Sorsby on his own, hired Kessler and won an injunction against the NCAA, primarily because of how incompetent the organization is.
Texas Tech did not fund and was not a party to the lawsuit.
Tech did not commit to play him and said repeatedly they're focused on Brendan Sorsby’s health and future.

After assessing the situation for a week (and consulting with their legal team) they (along with Sorsby himself) made a decision to part ways.

I don't know what more you all wanted Texas Tech to do with this.
