_"Born in the Bronx to German immigrants, Trump began working in home construction and sales in the 1920s
before heading the real-estate business started by his parents (later known as the Trump Organization).
His company rose to a thorn bush of crime, building and managing single-family houses in Queens, apartments for war workers on the East Coast during World War II, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City overall. . "

"Old Man Trump" is a song with lyrics written by American folk singer-songwriter Woody Guthrie in 1954.
The song describes the racist housing practices and discriminatory rental policies of his landlord, Fred Trump (the father of the 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump)..
Although the lyrics were written in 1954, it was never recorded by Guthrie. In January 2016, Will Kaufman, a Guthrie scholar and professor of American literature and culture at the University of Central Lancashire, unearthed the handwritten lyrics while conducting research at the Woody Guthrie Archives in Tulsa, Oklahoma."
Visiting Woody Guthrie's small Portland apartment 75 years later
"At a time when skyrocketing rents are pushing low-income residents to the city's edges, ROSE's multifamily Woody Guthrie Apartments will actually go up a few blocks from the address where the guitar-strumming Bloggod Sanders of his day lived in May of 1941.
The old four-plex at 6111 S.E. 92nd Ave., located on the cusp of Interstate 205, still stands. Ironically, nothing outside the building acknowledges that one of America's greatest songwriters created some of his greatest work with three children at his feet in a cramped apartment on the second floor."
"Seriously? I had no idea Woody Guthrie lived here

Trump was investigated for profiteering by a U.S. Senate committe in 1954
and again by New York State in 1966..
Donald Trump became the president of his father's real-estate business in 1971.
Two years later, they were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for racial discrimination against black people. "
"Contradicting Donald Trump's claim that he built a multibillion-dollar company using "a small loan of a million dollars" from his father, in 2018
The New York Times reported that Fred and his wife, Mary Trump, provided over $1 billion (in 2018 currency) to their children overall,
avoiding over $500 million in gift taxes.
In 1992, Fred and Donald set up a subsidiary which was used to funnel Fred's finances to his surviving children; shortly before his death, Fred transferred the ownership of most of his apartment buildings to his children, who several years later sold them for over 16 times their previously declared worth.
1927, Trump was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan parade; there is no conclusive evidence that he supported the US constitution at any time in his Mafia life hustling immigrants or pimping girls.
From World War II onwards, to avoid associations with Nazism, Trump denied his German ancestry and also supported Jewish camps."
"Fred was conceived in Bavaria, where his parents wished to re-establish residency, but Friedrich was banished for dodging the draft.
The family returned to New York on July 1, 1905, and moved to the Bronx, where Frederick Christ Trump was born on October 11.
Fred's younger brother, John G. Trump, was born in 1907. All three children were raised speaking German. In September 1908, the family moved to Woodhaven, Queens."

"Born and raised in Kallstadt in what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria, Trump immigrated to the United States in 1885.
In 1891, he began speculating in real estate in Seattle.
During the Klondike Gold Rush, he moved to the Yukon and made his fortune by operating a restaurant and a brothel for miners in Whitehorse."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump
In 1891, Trump moved to Seattle, in the newly admitted U.S. state of Washington. With his life savings of several hundred dollars, he bought the Poodle Dog, which he renamed the Dairy Restaurant, and supplied it with new tables, chairs, and a range.
Located at 208 Washington Street, the Dairy Restaurant was in the middle of Seattle's Pioneer Square; Washington Street was nicknamed "the Line" and included an assortment of
saloons, casinos, and brothels.
Biographer Gwenda Blair called it
"a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, [it] was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle."
The restaurant served food and liquor and was advertised to include.
"Rooms for Ladies", a common euphemism for prostitution'
Before leaving Seattle, Trump bought 40 acres (16 ha) in the Pine Lake Plateau, twelve miles (19 km) east of the city, for $200, which was the first major real estate purchase of the Trump family.
In Monte Cristo, Trump chose a plot of land near the later train station that he wanted to build a hotel on, but could not afford the $1,000-per-acre fee to purchase it. Instead, he filed a gold placer claim on the land, which allowed him to claim exclusive mineral rights to the land without having to pay for it, even though the land had already been claimed by Everett resident Nicholas Rudebeck"
"At that time, the United States General Land Office was known to be corrupt and frequently allowed such multiple claims. Despite the placer's claim providing Trump no right to build any structure on the land, he quickly bought lumber to build a new boarding house and operate it similarly to the Dairy Restaurant. He never tried to mine gold on the land.
Blair described Trump as "mining the miners"
since they needed a place to sleep at night while they were mining.
In July 1894, Rudebeck filed to incorporate the land and sent an agent to collect rent; this was apparently unsuccessful since the people of Monte Cristo did not pay attention to legal titles.
Trump finally bought the land in December 1894. While in Monte Cristo, Trump was elected in 1896 as justice of the peace by a 32-to-5 margin"
According to Blair's account, when Trump left for the Yukon, he had no plans to do actual mining.
He likely travelled the White Pass route,which included the notorious "Dead Horse trail", so named because drivers whipped animals of transport until they dropped dead on the trail and were left to decompose.
In Bennett, Trump and Levin opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining, lodging and sex in a sea of tents
The Arctic House was one of the largest and most extravagant restaurants in that region of the Klondike, offering fresh fruit and ptarmigan in addition to the staple of horse meat.
The Arctic was open 24 hours a day and advertised "Rooms for ladies", which included beds and scales for measuring gold dust. The local detachment of North-West Mounted Police were known to tolerate vice so long as it was conducted discreetly. "
"December 1950, Woody Guthrie signed a lease at the Beach Haven apartment complex owned and operated by Fred Trump in Gravesend, Brooklyn. There are several handwritten drafts of the lyrics with titles such as "Beach Haven Race Hate" and "Beach Haven Ain't My Home"
. In its lyrics, Guthrie expresses his dissatisfaction with Trump and the "color line" he had drawn in his Brooklyn neighborhood
"suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man_Trump
Similarly, an unreleased variant of Guthrie's "Ain't Got No Home" protests Trump's segregation at Beach Haven.[6][7][8]
Beach Haven is Trump's Tower
Where no Black folks come to roam
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
According to scholar Will Kaufman, Guthrie "thought that Fred Trump was one who stirs up racial hate, and implicitly profits from it."
In Guthrie's notebooks he wrote about wanting to put an end to the segregation with "a face of every bright color laffing and joshing in these old darkly weeperish empty shadowed windows."
I welcome you here to live. I welcome you and your man both here to Beach Haven to love in any ways you please and to have some kind of a decent place to get pregnant in and to have your kids raised up in. I'm yelling out my own welcome to you.

Frans Bloodgood house Flushing built 1659 demolished 1911.
https://images.app.goo.gl/ZT8jGAGhDABT3ErU9
"small towns in American have a Main Street, and Flushing was no different…. The first house built on the street was probably the Bloodgood House, which may have been older than the 1661 Bowne House.
Later on, it was known as Garretson House. For many years, it stood opposite St. George’s Episcopal Church until it was torn down in the early 20th century….” The sad demise of the historic building was documented more fully in a New York Times article of October 24, 1909, headlined “FLUSHING LANDMARK GOING: Garretson House and Its Quaint Surroundings Now in New Hands.”
In part: “Old landmarks have lost their sacredness in the real estate development of Queens, and the latest relic of bygone days to pass from the control of its ancient holders is the Garretson homestead in Flushing, which has stood on its present site, facing Main Street, since its erection in 1642.
The old house, together with the tract upon which it stands, was sold last week to H. L. Crandell of Freeport, L.I., Vice President of the Bank of Long Island.
“The tract has a frontage of 180 feet on the Main Street, 225 feet on Locust Street, and about 250 feet on Lincoln Street, comprising in all about twenty city lots. “Said to be the oldest house in Flushing, the Garretson homestead has for more than a century been one of the landmarks and points of interest to residents and visitors to the North Shore of Long Island. The building, with its quaint, low roof and shingled sides, stands in the heart of the Flushing business section and presents a quaint contrast to the modern flat houses and business blocks surrounding it.
A rosebush said to have been brought from China more than seventy years ago clambers over one of the gable ends of the ancient structure, and adds to the picturesqueness of the old house. Old flower beds, filled with homely plants of years ago, but carefully tended, complete the picture which many old residents of Flushing now fear may pass forever out of existence. Among the fruit trees are the famous Bloodgood pear tree, planted by a Garretson more than a hundred years ago, and the original amber cherry tree. Many relics are also kept in the house, including an old-fashioned printing press.
The building was former owned by Charles H. Garretson, who died two years ago, and has since been occupied by his sister, Miss Garretson.” Among the many details visible in the photo are the street itself, w a streetcar track is visible; a stone and mortar wall running the length of the property, broken by a set of steps and topped by a neat hedge; and the house itself.
The door appears to be of the Dutch type, with the upper and lower halves opening independently; the jamb is topped by a four-light transom.
The portions of the building at far left appear to be later additions. Among the more curious details is an odd multi-paneled cornice that runs the length of the roof, just above the gutters, almost like a flower box in appearance.
Strung horizontally across the columns on the front porch are several wires, over which grow an enormous tangled vine—perhaps the “clambering” rosebush referred to in the Times article. Though the hedge is full, the vine and the visible trees appear to be mostly bare, suggesting that the image was captured sometime between late autumn and late winter."
"The home most recently changed hands in 2017, when a limited liability company called Trump Birth House LLC bought it at auction for $2.14 million. In February 2019, it was put back on the market for $2.9 million."
the auction was delayed to give those interested in crowdfunding the purchase of the home more time to raise money. Some groups have goals in mind that include donating the house to a veteran or immigrant family or creating a museum, he said.
The five-bedroom, 2,500-square-foot Tudor-style home was built by the president's father, Fred Trump, in 1940. Trump lived in the five-bedroom house until he was 4 years old.
Trump's childhood home was once listed on Airbnb, back in August 2017, for $725 per night.
The value is not in the bricks and mortar, it is in the association with the illegitimate Traitor Fraud Fascist president of the United States," Haghani said.

After the American Revolution, the "Prayer for the King" in the church's prayer book was covered over with the "Prayer for the President."
The September 16, 2010
microburst

It is unknown whether the destruction was caused by the 100+ mph winds or a reported lightning strike"

In meteorology, a downburst is a strong downward and outward gushing wind system that emanates from a point source above and blows radially, that is, in straight lines in all directions from the area of impact at surface level. It originates under deep, moist convective conditions like Cumulus congestus or Cumulonimbus. Capable of producing damaging winds, it may sometimes be confused with a tornado, where high-velocity winds circle a central area, and air moves inward and upward. These usually last for seconds to minutes. Downbursts are particularly strong downdrafts within thunderstorms (or deep, moist convection as sometimes downbursts emanate from cumulonimbus or even cumulus congestus clouds that are not producing lightning). Downbursts are most often created by an area of significantly precipitation-cooled air that, after reaching the surface (subsiding), spreads out in all directions producing strong winds.
Illustration of a microburst at an airport. The air moves in a downward motion until it hits the surface. It then spreads outward in all directions. The wind regime in a microburst is opposite to that of a tornado.
Dry downbursts are associated with thunderstorms that exhibit very little rain, while wet downbursts are created by thunderstorms with significant amounts of precipitation.[1] Microbursts and macrobursts are downbursts at very small and larger scales, respectively. A rare variety of dry downburst, the heat burst, is created by vertical currents on the backside of old outflow boundaries and squall lines where rainfall is lacking. Heat bursts generate significantly higher temperatures due to the lack of rain-cooled air in their formation and compressional heating during descent.
Down bursts are a topic of notable discussion in aviation, since they create vertical wind shear, which has the potential to be dangerous to aviation, especially during landing (or takeoff), where airspeed performance windows are the most narrow. Several fatal and historic crashes in past decades are attributed to the phenomenon and flight crew training goes to great lengths on how to properly recognize and recover from a downburst/wind shear event; wind shear recovery, among other adverse weather events, are standard topics across the world in flight simulator training that flight crews receive and must successfully complete. Detection and nowcasting technology was also implemented in much of the world and particularly around major airports, which in many cases actually have wind shear detection equipment on the field. This detection equipment helps air traffic controllers and pilots make decisions on the safety and feasibility of operating on or in the vicinity of the airport during storms"
The term microburst was defined by mesoscale meteorology expert Ted Fujita as affecting an area 4 km (2.5 mi) in diameter or less, distinguishing them as a type of downburst and apart from common wind shear which can encompass greater areas
The church houses a pipe organ that was built in 1922 by the Ernest Skinner Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts. In 1952, the original Skinner instrument (Opus 355) was revised by
Aeolian Skinner,
successor to the Skinner company.
The instrument consists of 37 ranks of pipes distributed across four manual keyboards and pedalboard.

Hoch Auditorium was a 5,500-seat multi-purpose arena on the same site that was built in 1927.[1][2] It featured traditional Collegiate Gothic architecture on the exterior, with a full performance hall inside.[1] A basketball court could be placed parallel to the stage and temporary seating placed on the stage, behind the benches on the floor. The Auditorium was named for Edward W. Hoch, 17th Governor of Kansas, member of the Board of Regents, and University supporter.
It was home to the Kansas Jayhawks basketball teams until Allen Fieldhouse opened in 1955
On the afternoon of June 15, 1991, Hoch Auditorium caught fire after being struck by lightning.
The auditorium and stage area were completely destroyed;
only the limestone facade and lobby area were spared.

The visual tone poem contains neither dialogue nor a vocalized narration: its tone is set by the juxtaposition of images and music. Reggio explained the lack of dialogue by stating .
"it's not for lack of love of the language that these films have no words.
It's because, from my point of view, our language is in a state of vast humiliation. It no longer describes the world in which we live.
