The president called the LGBT community "the bravest and      
most inspiring" people he’s ever met, calling them an example
for the entire world to follow. He also specifically noted his
intense support for "LGBTQ children" and "transgender
children."

"You’re some of the bravest and most inspiring people I’ve ever
known. And I’ve known a lot of good folks," Biden said. "You set
an example for the nation — and quite frankly for the world."

(6-11-23) – President Joe Biden’s administration is receiving
backlash online over its Pride Month display at the White
House on Sunday as many Twitter users are saying it violates
the U.S. Flag Code.

U.S. Flag Code §7. (e), which reads, "The flag of the United
States of America should be at the center and at the highest
point of the group when a number of flags of States or
localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed
from staffs."

BENJAMIN FLEW A KITE ON THIS DAY IN 1752

'Benjamin Franklin and Kite, 1876' Giclee Print | AllPosters.com

On this day in history, June 10, 1752, Benjamin Franklin is
reported to have flown a kite
during a thunderstorm, with
a goal of collecting ambient electrical charge in a Leyden
jar — a container that could store an electrical charge for
later use.

This potentially would enable him to demonstrate the
connection between lightning and electricity.

Franklin showed an interest in the subject of electricity in
the mid-1740s when much was still unknown on the topic.

For almost a decade he conducted electrical experiments.

A Leyden jar was the original form of the capacitor
(also called a condenser).      

Leyden jars are still used by teachers today to
demonstrate the principles of electrostatics.
