Essay: “Coulter Logic (she wants candidate who won’t pursue her agenda)” at wp.me/p4jHFp-dQ.
Ann Coulter desperately wants to nominate and elect a candidate (Trump) who won’t pursue her agenda! The one candidate (Cruz) who would pursue her immigration agenda is the one she most adamantly opposes!
Coulter’s logic is inescapably illogical.

Colonel ROBERTSON TOPP died in his residence in Memphis, June 13, 1876; burial today. [Burial in lot 573, Turley section, Elmwood Cemetery, Memphis. According to the BIOGRAPHICAL DIRECTORY OF THE TENNESSEE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, edited by Robert M. McBride, Nashville, 1975, volume 1, page 731, TOPP was born in Davidson Co., Tenn., April 20, 1807; his twin brother was Dixon Topp, Miss., who survived him; he began practice of law in Columbia, Tenn. but moved to Memphis where he attained prominence; served in the state legislature, House of Representatives, 1835-1839, representing Shelby County. The encomium to his memory in "Bench and Bar, " Memphis Bar, volume 1, page 107:
Robertson Topp.
In writing of the lawyers in the City of Memphis, the list would be incomplete without mention of Robertson Topp.
Robertson Topp was born in Davidson County, Tennessee, on the 20th day of April 1807. At the age of sixteen he left his home, entered the office of his brother, John S. Topp, then a distinguished lawyer in Lebanon, Tennessee, and commenced under his guidance and tuition to prepare himself for the bar. When he finished his studies he practiced a while in Columbia, and in the twenty-third year or his age, moved to Memphis, arriving in January 1831. In 1835 he was elected to the Legislature from Shelby County. He served two terms in the Legislature, and afterwards declined re-election.

He made a large purchase of South Memphis stock in addition to that which he owned before, and though still practicing his profession, was busy laying out and opening the streets of the new town of South Memphis, which was an addition to the old town.
While attending the Legislature, he met Miss Elizabeth L. Vance, who afterward became his wife, in 1837. In the spring of 1841 they were living in their home on Beale avenue where he lived the balance of his life.
In July 1841, he held the first public sale of town lots, and in 1842-43 he commenced to build the Gayeso House. From 1851 to 1861, there was no scheme of public advancement nor any political change in which Mr. Topp did not take parts and in all of which he responded freely, and gave his time, talents and money to their success.
Robertson Topp towered among his contemporaries like an oak of the forest. Endowed with the 'highest order of natural gifts, his mind was richly stored with knowledge, and his conversational powers were equaled by few men. His speeches were marvelous for their ability and sound logic, his legal arguments were luminous and exhaustive. The energy of his nature was irrepressible and his sanguine nature made him invariably hopeful.
He lost heavily by the Civil war, having put large amounts of money in plantations and negroes.
He died in June 1876, survived by a widow, and eight children, being sixty nine years of age at the time of his death.
In the truest sense or the word, he was one of the builders of Memphis, one or its most devoted and faithful citizens.
Topp moved to Memphis in 1831 and began dealing in real estate after finishing law school. He made his mark on Downtown Memphis (then the South Memphis area) when he developed the Gayoso Hotel, which was unlike any other hotel the region had ever seen. He went on to create and develop prominent Memphis streets such as Beale, Vance, Linden, and McCall.
Topp was vital in bringing the Memphis and Ohio Railroad through the city. His mansion on Beale later became home to the historic Miss Higbee School.

This was an external logic package that was a part of a NEMA TS1 cabinet running a Traconex CJ-32 controller. This logic package was actually pretty simple, consisting of several diode cards, AND gates, dual inverters and timer/count cards.
Hangout Music Festival - Day 2 (w/ The Chainsmokers, Halsey, St. Vincent & More) @ Gulf Shores, AL on May 19, 2018
Youth from around the country met in Washington D.C. for the 2024 National 4-H Conference Youth Career Fair at the Arts and Industries building on April 23, 2024. Youth were able to meet and talk to over 40 agencies during the afternoon to learn about “Cool jobs” from Federal partners.
The National 4 H Conference Logic Model stems from the Citizenship Mission Mandate logic models. National 4 H Conference is specifically focused on civic engagement, civic education, and personal development. Delegates arrive at the National 4 H Conference Center ready to connect, learn, engage, lead and impact their communities, their nation and their world. Land-grant university 4 H Departments send delegations of 4 H youth between ages 15 and 19 to participate in the National 4 H Conference. Delegates work together in the four weeks prior to the conference to prepare briefings on important topics. During the conference, delegates will virtually present their prepared briefings to federal officials in Washington, D.C. 4 H youth also have the opportunity to engage in personal development experiences that increase their knowledge, resources, and skills while discussing topics affecting youth and 4 H programming nationwide.
Delegates not only learn while at the conference: they are empowered to create positive social change in their communities and have the opportunity to practice and apply their skills in a real-world setting. (USDA photo by Christophe Paul)
a 367-foot (112 m), 33-story hotel in Los Angeles, California, constructed between 1974 and 1976.[6] It was designed by architect John C. Portman Jr.. The top floor has a revolving restaurant and bar. It was originally owned by investors that included a subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate Mitsubishi Corporation and John Portman & Associates. The building is managed by Aimbridge Hospitality (IHR), and is valued at $200 million.
The hotel and its architect John Portman have been the subject of several documentaries and academic analyses.[7][8]
Fredric Jameson discusses the hotel in his 1984 essay, "Postmodernism, or, the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism," and in his 1991 book by the same name.[9][10] He writes that
the Bonaventura aspires to being a total space, a complete world, a kind of miniature city (and I would want to add that to this new total space corresponds a new collective practice, a new mode in which individuals move and congregate, something like the practice of a new and historically original kind of hyper-crowd).[11]
In his book Postmodern Geographies: The Reassertion of Space in Critical Social Theory (1989), Edward Soja describes the hotel as
a concentrated representation of the restructured spatiality of the late capitalist city: fragmented and fragmenting, homogeneous and homogenizing, divertingly packaged yet curiously incomprehensible, seemingly open in presenting itself to view but constantly pressing to enclose, to compartmentalize, to circumscribe, to incarcerate. Everything imaginable appears to be available in this micro-urb but real places are difficult to find, its spaces confuse an effective cognitive mapping, its pastiche of superficial reflections bewilder co-ordination and encourage submission instead. Entry by land is forbidding to those who carelessly walk but entrance is nevertheless encouraged at many different levels. Once inside, however, it becomes daunting to get out again without bureaucratic assistance. In so many ways, its architecture recapitulates and reflects the sprawling manufactured spaces of Los Angeles.[12]
The hotel is a 33-story building, with no floors numbered "7" or "13"; the top floor is therefore numbered "35". The four elevator banks (each containing three cars for a total of 12) are named by colors and symbols: Red Circle (the only one that goes to "35"; the other three only go to "32"), Yellow Diamond, Green Square, and Blue Triangle. The color-coded system of directions was a later addition, as visitors found the space confusing and hard to navigate.[13]
Several bronze plaques commemorate elevator scenes from three major films:
In the Line of Fire,[14][15] September 1993, "Green Square" elevator
True Lies,[15] September 1993, "Red Circle" and "Yellow Diamond" elevators
Forget Paris,[15] November 1994, "Yellow Diamond" elevator
It has been featured in many movies and television series over the years, including Interstellar,[16] Strange Days, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (as part of the city of New Chicago), Wonder Woman,[17] Blue Thunder, It's a Living,[18] Starsky & Hutch, L.A. Law, The A-Team, Breathless, Matlock, This Is Spinal Tap, Nick of Time,[19] Rain Man,[19][20] Ruthless People,[19] Logan's Run,[19] My Fellow Americans,[19] Midnight Madness, Moonlighting (TV series), Showtime, Hard to Kill, The Lincoln Lawyer, Chuck, Heaven Can Wait, Xanadu, The New Dragnet, Time After Time, Moby Dick,[21] Zoolander,[22] Lethal Weapon 2,[19] The Fantastic Journey[23][24] and was destroyed (via special effects) in Escape from LA, Epicenter and San Andreas. The front of the hotel was also featured in the British children’s television series Tots Tv ‘American Adventure’ special where Tilly, Tom and Tiny went to explore a different country and were observing tall buildings and went onto the roof of the hotel to observe the view of Los Angeles.[25] You can see it under construction in the 1975 film The Wilderness Family (released a year before the hotel opened). In cartoon form, the building can be seen in the first shot of Jem in the episode "The Beginning", and in the anime Steins;Gate. In November 1979, the ABC soap opera General Hospital videotaped some on location scenes there dealing with Luke Spencer, played by Anthony Geary who was hired to assassinate Senator Mitch Williams. In 1999, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy used the building as the administration building of the space colony Terra Venture, with Red Ranger Leo falling from the building after a battle with main villain Trakeena.
In 2002, the hotel was the location for a Fear Factor stunt which involved crossing a bridge of plexiglass discs on cables suspended on the lobby's fifth floor.[26] The television series It's a Living was set in a restaurant atop the Bonaventure. The hotel is also showcased in episodes of CSI and its exterior can be seen in Americathon, Mission: Impossible III, Almighty Thor, Hancock, and at the beginning of the Lionel Richie "Dancing on the Ceiling" music video. The building made appearances in the 1991 Kylie Minogue music video Step Back in Time, the 1985 Survivor music video "The Search Is Over", the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the 2012 video game Call of Duty: Black Ops II (in the "Aftermath" multiplayer map) and in the 2013 video game Grand Theft Auto V with the name "Arcadius Business Center" (having three towers instead of four towers and featuring glass elevator animations).
The hotel was also used as a setting for R&B singer Usher's music video for the 2002 hit single, "U Don't Have to Call". A pivotal scene in the season four (2005) episode "Another Mister Sloane" of the espionage drama Alias took place in the Bonaventure Hotel as well, while it was also featured in season one (2017), episode five of another espionage drama, Counterpart. In 2021, Rihanna's "Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 3" was filmed entirely on location at the hotel.[27][28] The hotel also hosted the first task for the final leg of The Amazing Race 33, which aired in 2022.[26]
