Old New York beer commercials

I grew up in Manhattan from1953 until 1964. I remember local beers Piels, Ballantine, Rheingold and Schaefer. Rheingold sponsored the Mets and had Miss Rheingold.

Baltimore’s Shot Tower

Baltimore’s Shot Tower was the tallest building in the US from 1828-1846.

#OTD 1828: Phoenix Shot Tower is completed, making it the tallest structure in the US at the time. It is now the only remaining tower of three in Baltimore. Producing bullets until 1892, it is now a National Historic Landmark and museum under @CarrollMuseums #MDHistory pic.twitter.com/cYmD319Hue

Tours of Baltimore's iconic Phoenix Shot Tower have long been limited to the first two floors. But thanks to nearly $1 million in safety and infrastructural improvements by Plano-Coudon, visitors will soon get to make the climb to the top. https://t.co/OoAB4OtoD8

Covers: Old Man (Neil Young song)

Neil Young’s “Old Man” (1972) was just covered by Beck for a football commercial.

“About that time when I wrote ‘, and I was touring … I had purchased a ranch, and I still live there today, and there was a couple living on it that were the caretakers, an old gentleman named Louis Avila and his wife Clara.” https://t.co/zugCZYZ2Ig

Finally, accountability for Jared Kushner

He fits right in as a member of the Trump family. What a disgusting bunch.

His father is a criminal.

BREAKING: Jared Kushner's property mgt company has agreed to pay a $3.25 million fine and uncapped restitution on claims of mistreatment filed by any of the 30,000 tenants who lived at the Baltimore-area complexes owned by the company.

Potentially thousands of renters may get restitution from Maryland's settlement with a management company of former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and more than two dozen property owners.https://t.co/ZpuMKJtO6z
— The Baltimore Sun (@baltimoresun) September 23, 2022

How disgusting is it that a rich family like the Kushners had to be sued over charging tenants illegal fees, apartments with leaking roofs, mold, rats, plumbing leaks and a long list of other issues? The $3,250,000 fine is not nearly enough!😡😡😡https://t.co/0IVr0xz0Mu
— Ladywolf (@NorskLadyWolf) September 23, 2022

Good time to remember that Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner, is a real estate developer who committed tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering — and served 2 years in federal prison.

Trump then pardoned him.

Another example of how the GOP is pro-Russia

We know Trump is pro-Putin but he’s not the only Republican. Tucker Carlson is pro-Russia, too. If the Republicans win either or both houses of Congress, US support of Ukraine will be reduced or halted.

WTF did I just watch?

Tucker Carlson talked about Putin’s threat of nuclear weapons and said: “And Ukrainians, of course, are also making explicit nuclear threats.”

Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, you POS scumbag Russian asset. @TuckerCarlson

NEW: House Republicans just rolled out their official "Commitment to America” plan for 2023 with an inspirational video chock full of scenes presented as exceptional imagery of America — but that are actually stock footage from Russia and Ukraine. https://t.co/xtQm52WWNp
— Jennifer Bendery (@jbendery) September 23, 2022

I doubt this is a coincidence

Never forget, many Republicans currently in congress echo Russian talking points.

Pathetic CNBC column takes the side of companies that evade taxes

Don't say "hit them hardest". Say "make them pay their share of taxes". Your article states "The researchers found that the 15% minimum would have taken a total of $31.8 billion from 78 firms in 2021." It's not taking money – it's making them do what they should be doing.
