    Every country is entitled to a creation myth or story Columbus’ “discovery” of the New World 🌎 maybe ours!

    Piano music courtesy of Harpeth Presbyterian Church, recorded via iPhone.Oliver Stone doesn’t know Jack about history, American or recent history (JFK) either… Certainly, Christopher might have been better off with a one-and-done. After his first voyage, his only reward was the title Admiral of the Ocean Sea.  It’s not well known that he returned from his last voyage in chains. So much for Ollie's assertion that CC plundered those peaceful savages he encountered. The Columbian series was a pictorial history of the 1492 event, and if you are interested, locate a copy of Pictorial Treasury of US Stamps, 1974©. Content Matters this week will include an interview I made last weekend with cricket bowlers on the lawn of Forest Hills Methodist Church.

    A Constitutional Minute on Grand Jurys -- Everything ABC/News NYC Doesn't Know!

The reason it has a heating element is to ensure sanitizing of the load. The hotter the water, the faster it dries.It’s a variation on the electric “vampire” theme of yesteryear… You know those always-on devices, like your home fax, incandescent light bulbs, clothes dryer, phone dock (remove the battery first), TV, and microwave clock. The common denominator for reducing electric usage is HEAT. You can defeat those “vampires” by using a power strip and turning those devices off when leaving for extended periods.

    What is it about the leftist democrats makes them believe they are above the law?

    God Bless America, recorded live by iPhone at Steinway Piano Studio.Now we know the reason President Trump didn’t take questions at his post-summit meeting in Alaska—this week, he admitted that Vadimer had "let me down!"  Let’s face it, fans, there are never any winners in a civil war; our own experience ought to tell us that.It must be contagious, a federal prosecutor in Newuva York is resigning rather than prosecute a fellow felon.Yes, Jerry, even if you have been a Congressman and now serve as a Senator, you may not claim your DC residence as your primary residence!  Even Senators are required to live in the state they serve. You don’t get a pass for “prior service” even if you may be committed to a single term. FYI/It’s mortgage fraud to claim to have more than one primary residence, and it’s especially egregious if you're the Attorney General of that state.

If there are any Natzis in America, you’ll find them on the neofascist left. You know those guys who celebrated “Damning America”!Supporting WOKE “theology” is playing the ultimate “blame card”🏋️!It’s not only un-American, it’s blasphemy as well, and that's a crime against G O D. FYI/ slavery in America arrived in 1545 with the Spanish at St Augustine, Florida.

They were built for speed and not as heavily armored or armed as a battleship.  Heavy Cruisers were named for major cities and state capitals.  Battleships were named for states. Light or (AA/Cruisers) were named for minor cities or towns. One ☝️ of their tasks was to screen or protect the carrier force. At the time, our aircraft carriers were among the fastest vessels 🚢 in the fleet.  (they had to be to launch aircraft)
