*May 27, 1930
The 1,046 foot Chrysler Building in New York City, the tallest man-made structure at the time, opens to the public. The building was formally opened in a ceremony that coincided with the 42nd Street Property Owners and Merchants Association's meeting that year. In the lobby of the building, a bronze plaque that read "in recognition of Mr. Chrysler's contribution to civic advancement" was unveiled.
The Chrysler Building was designed by architect William Van Alen, and often cited as the epitome of the Art Deco skyscraper. Its sunburst-patterned stainless steel spire remains one of the most striking features of the Manhattan skyline. The decorative scheme of the facade and interior is largely geometric; at the request of Walter P. Chrysler, who commissioned the building, stainless steel automobile icons (e.g., radiator caps in the form of Mercury) were incorporated in the frieze on the setback at the base of the tower and in decorative work on other parts of the building. The building’s pierless corners and sleek design are typical of the modernism of the 1920s. It served as the Chrysler corporation's headquarters from 1930 until the mid-1950s.
Built between 1928 and 1930, the Chrysler Building was briefly the tallest in the world, and held the record until the Empire State Building opened in 1931. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark in 1976, and designated a New York City landmark in 1978. A major restoration of the Chrysler landmark structure was conducted in the early 1980s.

How is Gov. Cuomo Not Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter?
"The federal govt. should investigate Gov. Cuomo of New York and his Health Commissioner, Howard Zucker, for their indefensible policy requiring nursing homes to take patients without regard to the Wuhan virus, knowing that it would result in illness and death among the state’s most at-risk population."Two words: 'Qualified immunity.' The political elites long ago insulated themselves from criminal liability for their incompetence or malfeasance when they disregard public safety. It's why they can indiscriminately release criminals from prison to rape and murder again, or unleash corrupt elements within national security agencies to spy on the opposition political party and its candidates - with angry public opinion their only 'punishment.' And the worst part? They don't care. As the man said, "Elections have consequences."
This so-called ‘new normal’ had better not be the permanent ‘normal’
"In 1920, Warren G. Harding’s campaign slogan was “a return to normalcy.” He won. Perhaps that ought to be Trump’s new slogan: “Make America Normal Again.”'Better not be.' That's a bit too passive for me when there are plenty of lamp posts made for fascists.
One of the ickiest phrases around lately is the “new normal.” We’re told by leftist politicos and a thousand commercials that we’re in the “new normal.” This “normal,” we’re told, will last until there is a vaccine for the Wuhan China Virus. Achieving a vaccination currently has the 12th of Never as its deadline for completion."
More Bear agitation: 2 Russian fighter jets buzz US spy plane over Mediterranean
"Two Russian fighter jets “flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner” while intercepting a U.S. spy plane on Tuesday over the Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday, the U.S. Navy said in a statement.
The encounter marks the third time in two months that Russian pilots buzzed U.S. aircraft."
Kathy Griffin sends out death threat to Trump on Twitter
She's the same garbage human being who got her fat %ss handed to her years ago when she posted a picture of herself on social media holding a bloody, severed, faux-Trump head. Yet another confirmation of Kaiser's Maxim.
Democrat bigwigs fear an economic upswing before November
"Of course they’re worried, and of course they’re very aware. What goes down sometimes goes back up. Many Democratic governors are doing their best to prevent that possibility. But will it be enough to keep things down?"This epidemic may not have been manufactured, but the response - particularly in Democrat controlled states - to keep society repressed under a fascist boot until November certainly is manufactured. Again, elections have consequences.
Why Do Democrats Want Lockdowns To Continue? A Bad Economy Is Good For Their Election Chances
Maybe. Maybe not.
