Watch Green Day reveal their roots in nostalgic trip back to their home from home

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) — who was censured by the House of Representatives after he was caught pulling a fire alarm in a House office building on September 30 as Democrats tried to delay voting on a Republican stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown — issued a statement Monday after The Daily Beast reported he had promoted conspiratorial theories regarding 9/11 on his blog when he was a high school principal. In 2011‚ when Bowman served as principal at the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action‚ his online journal included a section titled “Recapitulate” in which he mused that the collapse of Building 7 on 9/11 came from a controlled demolition and cited the films “Loose Change” and “Zeitgeist‚” the first of which claimed that the U.S. orchestrated the 9/11 attacks while the second‚ the Daily Beast writes‚ “argues that a ring of globalist bankers controls the Federal Reserve and periodically contrives national tragedies to compel the U.S. government to embark on wars and take out greater debt.” On Monday‚ Bowman responded to The Daily Beast’s report‚ saying‚ “Well over a decade ago‚ as I was debating diving into a doctoral degree‚ I explored a wide range of books‚ films‚ and articles across a wide swath of the political spectrum and processed my thoughts in a personal blog that few people ever read.” “I don’t believe anything that these cranks have said‚ and my life’s work has proven that‚” he continued. “As a Congressman‚ I’ve written a Congressional Resolution condemning a dangerous conspiracy theory‚ I’ve stood up to MAGA extremists‚ and I’ve called out the endless bull**** of the far-right.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP He declared he had since “learned how misinformation spreads‚” adding‚ “I regret posting anything about any of these people. Anyone who looks at my work today knows where I stand.” A congressional ethics report about the fire alarm incident stated: Following mounting criticism and calls for the Department of Justice to investigate Rep. Bowman for his actions in triggering a false alarm of fire in the Cannon House Building earlier in the day‚ Rep. Bowman sought to “personally clear up confusion” and extinguish the controversy. To this end‚ Rep. Bowman released an official statement where he claimed that he “mistakenly” activated the fire alarm “thinking it would open the door. However‚ [Office of Congressional Ethics] staff obtained evidence appearing to contradict Rep. Bowman’s claim that he mistakenly activated the fire alarm. Surveillance video obtained by the OCE shows Rep. Bowman deliberately pulling the fire alarm lever without ever looking back to determine whether the alarm facilitated the opening of the emergency doors.

Meet Elizabeth Eaton Rosenthal—A.K.A “The Green Lady of Brooklyn” or “Sweetheart”—the 83-year-old woman who has become famous for only wearing green for nearly 24 years. Elizabeth started the process of going green decades ago when she began wearing the color on her nails every day. Loving the hue‚ she decided to dye her hair the same color. Then she bought a green wardrobe and green shoes. She decorated her home in green and painted her front door green‚ and she never went back. Instagram “It’s the most positive color in the whole world‚” she told Patch in 2011. “You can wake up really miserable in the morning and then you get dressed and turn green and it’s quite wonderful.”  With her eccentric look and warm personality‚ The Green Lady of Brooklyn quickly became a local celebrity. She said she’s met “just the most interesting people and children” around her borough‚ and she has “so much fun” getting to know everyone. Instagram Elizabeth’s husband Robert told the publication that seeing her making her way around town is “just amazing.” “People shout from cars‚ children flock to her on the train and tourists take pictures of her‚” he shared. “The most diverse people call to her from across the street‚ give her thumbs up‚ call her ‘Miss Green.’” The Green Lady of Brooklyn Hitchhiked to New York in 1964 Elizabeth’s backstory is just as interesting as her life as the Green Lady‚ too. As she told Trend Chaos‚ she decided to move to New York City in 1964‚ when she was 23. So she hitchhiked there with only a sketchbook‚ a pair of ice skates‚ and the clothes she was wearing. Her sketches caught someone’s eye at the NY State Employment agency‚ and they sent her to interview as an artist in a textile studio. She got the job‚ and she’s been doing that ever since. But she eventually branched out to work for herself. Instagram In 1987‚ she opened SweetPea Design Studio and ran that for 15 years. After that‚ she started a small art business that sold vintage textiles from her own collection. She also freelanced for “All the big manufacturers..like Ralph Lauren‚ Liz Claiborne‚ American Eagle Outfitters.” Thanks to her career in fashion‚ Elizabeth has gone through several phases before becoming The Green Lady of Brooklyn. She said she went through a decade of wearing all vintage dresses and homemade hats. She was big on horn-rimmed glasses paired with a beehive hairdo for some time‚ and she was a fan of bellbottoms for a stretch. But now that she’s realized her love for green‚ she feels like she’s come into her own. “I really am addicted now‚” told Patch. “It brightens all of my days. Like today‚ I’m a mess‚ but when you’re green it doesn’t matter.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
