      (FBI agent Mark Felt) and the various conspirators in the assassination of Pres. Lincoln, that's without going into any of the ghosts connected to any of the countless sex scandals (Chandra Levy was never proven to have met that definition, only by innuendo) involving elected individuals in office.

    @Penguin Six, would like to know if you would be allowed to be given press access to the pageant of peace during the Nat'l Christmas Tree lighting at the Ellipse or is that no longer allowed since the occasion was converted into a big CBS network production in conjunction with the National Park Serv.? For many decades it was always (at least the tree lighting moment of the event) shown on the local stations
    5 p.m. news shows and the entire event re-aired by C-SPAN within the next one, two or three hours. The CBS production kills all the spontaneity of the day by not airing it for several days.

    How do you tag or notify the bike rental folks that a bike has bad brakes or other problems. Seems like some possible liability problems for them if there is no way to tag problems. Bad brakes, downhills, and dozens of people and pets that are positive they are the only ones out there. Common sense and wisdom over the years has taught me to have my head on a swivel in crowded areas.

    • @dannyboy160
      @dannyboy160 Год назад +1

      When I’ve rented, there’s a message from the app asking about the rental. And if you rate it below 5 stars, it prompts for a reason you didn’t rate 5 stars. But you can also report the issue on the app and if it’s a serious problem like brakes, it will usually take the vehicle out of rotation.

    • @Penguinsix
      @Penguinsix  Год назад +3

      After the end of the rental, I can submit a trouble report. I end up doing that often as these bikes are pretty beat up. On this one, when I parked, I also hit a special 'lock' on the bike rack that flagged the bike as broken (so no one else would use it)

      The U.S. government buildings, the universities, and the foreign embassies are probably tax exempt.

Apparently if our parents worked in federally related jobs, the school district received federal funding.

      Since back when incapacitated Pres. Wilson had to live his remaining life in D.C. after Pres. Harding was inaugurated in March 1921, all the ensuing Democrat presidents (and every Republican pres.) through the next seven decades either all left D.C. for keeps when their administrations ended or they were given burials (FDR and JFK). Nixon, Ford and Reagan? They all went away to California. Johnson, both Bush and his son "dubya" Bush and Carter? They all went away either to Texas or Georgia. Truman and his first lady (true story) drove off all on their own without any protective guards, only the two of them in 1953 going away to see the daily life on the roadways of the Midwest as they made their way back to Missouri.
      Eisenhower in 1961 retired in Gettysburg, Pa. and remained their for the next eight years where he died. Only the 42nd and 44th pres.'s chose to continue a (obviously political)
      presence in northwest D.C. Pres. Trump returned back to Mar-a-lago in Fla. and even eventually sold off the Trump Int'l Hotel on Penn. Avenue. The other two (42nd and 44th) only bring suspicions on themselves(?).

      Yeah, it was called "Hell" when Ivanka Trump and her family lived there. By the way, "poor" Ivanka doesn't want to come up to New York from Florida on a school day to testify in the civil trial. Guess what Ivanka--no one made you operate your business in one state, and live in another state. Your rich husband doesn't have to work--let him watch the children for a few days while you come up to New York to testify.
