Months of work, condensed into seconds. Watch the transformation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as crews drained, repainted, and refilled one of America's most iconic landmarks ahead of a busy summer season in Washington, D.C.
Last year DOJ published a report.
For every 10,000 blacks, 153 violent crimes are committed by a black person each year against a white person.
The same figure for violent crimes committed by whites against a black person: 3.4.
A black person is 50-times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white person than for a white person to commit a violent crime against a black person.
This is an extraordinary difference in the rates of violence committed between these two groups.
We are told that whites are systemically racist.
We are told that whites are successful because they oppress others.
But the facts tell the opposite story.
Blacks are not the ones being victimized.
Whites are.
Western civilization has been successful not because it was oppressive.
It has been successful because whites created, starting thousands of years ago, systems that are impartial and fair.
Today these systems are being dismantled.
Criminals are being released because of their skin color.
Law-abiding citizens are punished because of theirs.
All in service of an ideology that is simply false.
This puts everyone in danger.
@jameslmorton@tminus51@NASASpaceflight Source? It’s a fucking great engine. Any price is negotiable. 1/5th of what? Who gives a shit. It’s a reliable ride, so price is not important. If memory serves, the Dreamliner was launched with 100% success!
@tminus51@NASASpaceflight FFS - release the ban on the Russian RD-180 and let the #ULA Atlas V continue to fly! Meanwhile the #Vulcan is not far behind, but Atlas V has the reliability.
