Trump claims multiple people arrested for vandalizing Reflecting Pool

By Kaanita Iyer(CNN) — Earlier this year, President Donald Trump described the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as “absolutely filthy,” vowing to clean up the iconic landmark and make it “look

Pool maintenance is easy. To fix algae you need algicide, chlorine, a pump, and a filter. Granted the amount of water in this thing is huge it’s just scale and somewhere in that $14 million dollar (US) price tag should have been handled. Community pools do it. Problem is it was a single bid to a sycophant.

#1984 continuing collection listen

#BattalionOfSaints - Second Coming
Easily one of the greatest hardcore punk albums of all time.

#Belfagore - s/t
Some Killing Joke worship along with lifting from John Lydon’s PiL’s vocal style. Mixed with other post punk. An enjoyable listen. They also made one of the greatest music videos that really conveys the anxiety of modern life.

When will reporters / news outlets just call out his bullshit. How about “Trump makes up story about reflecting pool to hide the poor workmanship of a rushed job”. It’s time to do actual fair reporting and report the truth.

Trump tries to blame Reflecting Poll woes on vandalism, without offering substantiation

The paint is peeling from Washington's Reflecting Pool after the renovation ordered by President Donald Trump, and he is now alleging that someone damaged it intentionally.

On a #RoyHarper binge. If you don’t know he’s the guy that sang on #PinkFloyd’s “Have a Cigar” and is the Roy Harper in the #LedZeppelin song “Hats off to Roy Harper”. He has a ton of solo albums that are folk rock prog, yet a fairly singular sound.

Only a couple release anniversaries today

Scorpions - World Wide Live (1985)
Marks the end of my Scorpions albums. Sure I love “Love at First Sting”, the greatest pop-metal album ever. This is a decent live album.

Deftones - White Pony (2000)
My second favorite of theirs. My favorite — probably not a popular choice — is the self titled album.

Are the Democrats in Wisconsin or anywhere else paying attention. This should be easy to take Republican seats.

Guest opinion: Rural Wisconsin workers lose health insurance twice as fast as before the pandemic

Wisconsin should expand Medicaid, invest in renewal pathways that don’t assume broadband internet access and revamp the renewal system so eligible people do not lose coverage, Jiyue Wang writes.

Never touch someone’s musical instrument without asking. Seriously.

"I was having a peek at his guitar and I was just about to stroke it, and he went: 'Nobody touches it!' And bam!" The night that Rolling Stones legend Keith Richard got punched in the face by his hero Chuck Berry

Perhaps there's some truth in the old saying that you should never meet your heroes

Album release anniversaries for today.

Blue Öyster Cult - Mirrors (1979)
I like this more than most people. It’s more AOR and less weird but still weird enough.

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Juju (1981)
My freshman year of high school — 1982 — I was a full on metalhead. All of the “weird” kids hung together. A goth girl played me this and I shrugged it off. 10 years later is a favorite album.

Kreator - Extreme Aggression (1989)
German thrash metal, their best. #AlbumAnniversaries
