The Bradbury Building is the oldest commercial building remaining in the central city and one of Los Angeles’ unique treasures.

Behind its modest, mildly Romanesque exterior lies a magical light-filled Victorian court that rises almost fifty feet with open cage elevators, marble stairs, and ornate iron railings. The identity of the building’s final architect is a subject of debate. Lewis Bradbury, a mining and real estate millionaire, commissioned Sumner Hunt to create a spectacular office building. Hunt turned in completed designs but was replaced soon after by George H. Wyman, who supervised construction.

Maybe not. Looks like a few water bottles thrown. Police said a “citizen” threw a tear gas canister in the crowd. Lots of screaming the same old worn out chants.

Got an encouraging update from my brother in Colorado who had been bleeding internally following prostate surgery. Apparently the bleeding has now been stopped and he’s perking up a little. Noticeable pain relief and O2 levels and other blood numbers are coming up. They may send him home tomorrow if he continues to improve overnight. Good news.

I haven’t been to Drudge in a couple of months, nor since the George Floyd murder.

I’ll have to give him some credit. He is covering all kinds of violence – including policemen being shot – which the mainstream has chosen to ignore.

My #60 – I guess I should apologize for failing to recognize that some of you may be “night protestors,” rather than the day protestors we are seeing now. In that case, you were probably in bed resting up for your night of protesting. I should have taken that into consideration when creating my post. If any of you were… Read more »

Black and brown racism is the one thing that can and will never be discussed in an open dialog about race from the race baiters who claim to want an open dialog about race.

Browbeating whitey is and will be the only “dialog” allowed.

I’ve been spending mine to keep the Trump boom going. Over ten years ago I was at the dermatologist and placed a James Avery cross/chain on a counter in the exam room and walked off without it. It was one of two jewelry items that I owned. Unfortunately, my dermatologist subbed out his office to another doctor on his day… Read more »

I’ve been watching the Houston gathering, and had previously scanned about others around the country. They are all the same, and frankly, these people have done an excellent job of coordinating and choreographing these things on a nationwide basis. So far they seem to have weeded out the undesirables and stuck to the script pretty well. We’ll see how well… Read more »

My prediction is the GF march in Houston will become a President Trump bash-fest featuring Art “his people” Avacado on lead vocal and the local Newspeak Media as the cheerleaders.

Then the totalitariancrat “we will win” voter fraud drive will commence.

Apparently Hubs and I are due to receive $1200 each, for some reason not clear to me.

All tax filers will receive $1200. $2400 per couple.

I’ll never forget….while attending school ‘80-‘82 I worked in an ancient greenhouse operation in Waco. They grew super high quality flowers that fed the florist that they owned.

On a shelf was an ancient gallon can of nicotine concentrate for spraying.

Did it compel me quit smoking?

Nah. I was young, ten feet tall and bulletproof.

HEADLINE: LancetGate: Pulling a Fast One on Proponents of Hydroxychloroquine and Chloroquine

Bottom line: EARLY TREATMENT of HCQ and AZ have proven to be over 90% effective in getting CV-19 patients non-contagious in 10 days or less. Those that are opposed to this treatment want you dead. Same reason the D-bag Governors forced CV-19 patients back into nursing homes.
