THIS DAY IN HISTORY

May 21

1832 - The first Democratic National Convention began. The delegates nominated President Andrew Jackson for a second term.

These Democrats wouldn’t even recognize the current party of their name.  Hell, the Democrats of 1960 wouldn't recognize the current party of their name...They’d both probably think degenerate Martians took it over.


1420 - Treaty of Troyes:  French king Charles VI signed over France to England after his death.

Obviously, this treaty was never put into effect, because in order for the English to make it a reality they had to win the Hundred Years War - which they didn't.

1941 - President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed "an unlimited state of national emergency," seven months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Did he know something was going to occur in the Pacific? Of course he did.
