1864 - By an act of Congress, the phrase "In God We Trust" was authorized to be stamped on all U.S. coins.

This is a very important event and I’m going to use it to state the importance of the four great motto's on our dollar bills and coins...Most people think nothing of them, but they are the basis of our nation (pull out a dollar and follow along).

E Pluribus Unum = “Out of many, one”
Originally signified the union of the thirteen colonies, but has equal importance for the many people (nationalities, religions, etc) who have formed the nation...Unfortunately, modern-day Liberals have completely bastardized this motto, and have changed it from being "Out of many, one" to being 'Out of many, many.'

Novus Ordo Seclorum = “A New Order of the Ages”
America was separating itself from the Old World (particularly Europe), and an American Civilization was being established with the clear intent of being different and better than the old.

Annuit Coeptis = “Providence Has Favored Our Undertaking”
Our Civilization is blessed by God, but also given the responsibility of evolving to His liking.

In God We Trust = We trust God to look over our well-being.

I hope you understand each of these four great motto's are part and parcel, and our nation cannot continue to be great without the inclusion of each in our national makeup. In fact it is likely American Civilization will cease to exist if we deviate from these four distinctly American statements printed on every dollar bill...A path of destruction we have already started walking along.

Also, please don't read this and assume I'm a religious nutter. I'm not Christian, not Jewish, not Hindu, not Buddhist, certainly not Jihadi, nor any other established religion...I am an American who loves this great country, which was founded on Judeo-Christian principles - warts and all.

1418 – The Council of Constance ended.

This council ended the Great Schism, re-uniting the Catholic Church...I hope you understand the Schism, but if not we’ll get there on the day of the breakup.

1529 - The Treaty of Saragossa was signed, dividing Spanish and Portuguese interests in the Pacific Ocean (the Eastern Hemisphere). Portugal regained control of the Moluccas in return for compensation.

Saragossa is much less well known than its sister-treaty, the Treaty of Tordesilla (1494), but was very important at the time...History proved unkind to the Portuguese with both treaties, however.

With Tordesilla they received everything south of Brazil (which isn't much, but no one knew it at the time), and Spain everything north of it (South, Central and North America).

With Saragossa the Portuguese received a good deal, but didn’t profit much because Spain soon swallowed up Portugal itself.

1889 - At twelve noon, the U.S. government opened nearly two million acres of Oklahoma land to settlement, inaugurating a furious land rush.

The 'Boomers' were let loose...They were beaten to the punch by many 'Sooners,' however.

1915 - During the Second Battle of Ypres, German forces became the first to use poison gas on the Western Front:  WWI.

It’s shocking they didn’t use gas in WWII, but after using it in WWI they realized the danger to their own troops as well...Or, maybe they saved it all for the Jews.

1930 - The United States, Britain, France, Italy and Japan signed the London Naval Treaty, regulating submarine warfare and limited shipbuilding.

What a joke!! Each of these countries cheated, and in a few years the Germans resumed production as well.

1954 - The Senate Army-McCarthy hearings began.

It turns out McCarthy was correct when it came to much of Hollywood and the State Department (see the Venona Papers)...He overshot his mark by attacking the Army, however.

1970 - Millions of Americans concerned about the environment observed the first 'Earth Day.'

What a pathetic excuse for a bunch of beatniks to get together and smoke a 'fatty.'

1990 - Millions of Americans joined in a worldwide 20th anniversary celebration of the first Earth Day.

Wow! I bet they brought the 'Purple People Eater Bong' this time.

1993 - The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was dedicated in Washington, D.C., to honor the victims of Nazi extermination.

I’ve been there and highly recommend it for everyone. Be prepared to feel emotions you have never experienced, because the proof of pure evil is overwhelming...And no, I'm not Jewish.

Walking through a real 'boxcar' (used to transfer humans like cattle), seeing a huge box of 'children’s shoes' (slaughtered), another box of 'gold fillings' (ripped from the mouth's of the dead), the many stories handwritten by survivors, etc., etc., etc...It's a heart-wrenching museum and will move any decent human-being in unimaginable ways.

1995 - At least 2,000 refugees were massacred by Rwandan troops at a camp in Kibeho.

This was a drop in the bucket for what ended up an African Holocaust...And where was the U.N. during this time? Circle jerking, per normal!

2000 - Armed immigration agents took Elian Gonzalez from the Miami home of his relatives to reunite him with his father.

This event was one of the most Gestapo-like acts I’ve ever seen in this county. How in the world did Bill Clinton and James Reno come to the conclusion this child needed to be ripped away from his American family and returned to Cuba? Remember his mother gave her life in an attempt to get him out of Cuba, and to the U.S. as a refugee.

Decency was never one of Clinton’s strong-suits, however, and we got what we asked for by voting for a man with such pathetic character flaws.
