... House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) unleashed a profanity-laced outburst during a tense meeting Thursday with a handful of GOP lawmakers " one of whom had brought along their young child, NOTUS reported Friday.

Johnson's reported outburst was prompted by disagreements among Republicans over the Take Care of America's Veterans Act, a bill that expands benefits for veterans and reshapes the Department of Veterans Affairs.

In a bid to salvage the bill, Johnson brought a handful of GOP lawmakers to a private room to hash out their differences, "multiple sources" told NOTUS.

Two lawmakers " Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Zach Nunn (R-IA) "started yelling at each other" over disagreements regarding the veterans bill, NOTUS reported.

Lyrics excerpt ...

[
Spoken by David Bromberg, "This is really a true story, ya know. A lot of people had heard the song. And well, at least Jerry Jeff has told me it was a true story.

I played guitar with Jerry Jeff Walker for about two years and we did this song every night for two years. And I never got tired of it. Jerry got a little tired of it.

At night after the clubs closed we would do horrible things to it.

It was a true story, he, this guy, Bojangles was a, he was a street dancer in New Orleans. What he do was go from bar to bar, and ah, he put-a, put money in the jukebox or get someone else to do it. And then he would either dance or pantomime the tune, right.

And for that people would buy him drinks, get him pretty drunk, and then he would go onto the next bar and, the next one until it was closing time.

And then he would do it the next night.

And after a few night of this, he would end up on the corner and the cops would pick him up and take him to the drunk-tank; which is where Jerry Jeff met him.

Ah, Jerry Jeff wasn't there on a research project, I... I mean the way I got that story, I, I may have that wrong, but the way I got that was he propositioned the right woman, at the right time, in the wrong place.

And her husband, the bartender... ah, called the cops and they, ah, they took Jerry, ah, to the parish jail. And he, he and this guy just talked for three days in the cell about, you know about what he does."

Obscured by Clouds (1972)
en.wikipedia.org

... Obscured by Clouds is the seventh studio album, and second soundtrack album, by the English progressive rock band Pink Floyd, released on 2 June 1972 by Harvest and Capitol Records. It serves as the soundtrack for the French film La Valle, by Barbet Schroeder. It was recorded in two sessions in France, while Pink Floyd were in the midst of touring, and produced by the band.

The album's only single was "Free Four". Obscured by Clouds has been seen as a stopgap for the band, who had started work on their next album, The Dark Side of the Moon (1973). The album reached number six in the United Kingdom and number 46 in the United States; retrospective opinions from both fans and critics have been mixed, some critics noting the similarities to their later material. ...

Richard Wright of Pink Floyd wrote a song called "The Violent Sequence" for inclusion in the film.[15] Antonioni rejected the song because it was too subdued and instead synchronized a re-recording of the band's "Careful with That Axe, Eugene", retitled "Come in Number 51, Your Time Is Up", with the film's violent ending scene. Roger Waters states in Classic Albums " Pink Floyd " Making The Dark Side of the Moon that while he loved the song, Antonioni said it was "too sad" and that it reminded him of church. Eventually it was reworked into a new song known as "Us and Them", which was released on their album The Dark Side of the Moon in 1973. "The Violent Sequence" remained unreleased until it was included on a 2011 boxed set of Dark Side of the Moon, where it was named "Us and Them (Richard Wright Demo)".[15]

Other discarded pieces recorded for the film by Pink Floyd were released on a bonus disc with the 1997 CD re-release of the soundtrack album, along with pieces by Jerry Garcia.[15] ...

fwiw, Richard Wright in the PBS special, "The Making of Dark Side of the Moon" acknowledges that early versions of "Us and Them" were in that soundtrack.

Mr Trump, would you like to start?

Donald Trump Sr (Trump Organization)

Thank you. I very much appreciate the opportunity to speak. We are addressing a very serious problem. In my opinion, it is one of the most serious problems that Scotland will have or has had.

I am all for renewable energy -- I believe in wave technology and tide technology, and I believe that you have great opportunities for other forms of energy, such as hydro -- but wind turbines, made in China, will lead to the almost total destruction of Scotland's tourism industry.

Recently, a very unattractive wind turbine was put up right on the course at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club. The club did not know about it and the members are going absolutely crazy. I said, "And you haven't seen the worst. Wait till they turn it on and you hear all the noise." They do not know what to do. They did not know that it was going to happen; they were blindsided.

The fact is that I have built what I said I was going to build, except that it came out even beyond what I said. Everybody agrees with that, and I have brought some magazines that feature the course. I have spent a tremendous amount of money"the project is debt free; there is no debt on the property"building what many already consider to be the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. I do not want to see it destroyed by having 11 monstrosities built that loom over it, literally 1 mile away. The development is land based, not sea based, because when it is 1 mile away, we are talking about a land-based development. We do not want it to happen. ...

My question is this: where is the clinical evidence, not an opinion? I want an empirical assessment. Who has produced it? Will you share it with the committee?

Donald Trump

First of all, I am the evidence. You know what? I think that I am a lot more of an expert than the people who you would like me to hire, who are doing it to make a paycheck. I am considered a world-class expert in tourism. When you ask, "Where is the expert and where is the evidence?" I say: I am the evidence. ...
