1962 - Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev sent a note to President Kennedy offering to withdraw his missiles from Cuba if the U.S. closed its bases in Turkey. The offer was rejected and the Cuban Missile Crisis continued.
I love Kennedy’s defiance and unwillingness to deal with the Soviet Hell State. He refused to blink and forced Nikki to stand down. Exactly what should be done with every rogue state threatening the U.S...And if we need to swing the 'big stick' so be it. I'm quite certain JFK was ready and willing to swing it like a mother.
Modern-day Democrats would cringe at such a decision, but this is one of the many differences between John Kennedy and 21st Century Democrats...It'll be nice when 'Kennedy Democrats' and 'FDR Democrats' wake up to this reality. Sadly, I'm afraid both will die off before they do.
33 - The traditional date for the death of St. Stephen, first martyr of the Christian Church.
I thought John the Baptist was the 'first martyr? I guess he would be considered before the Church, though.
1774 - The first Continental Congress, which protested British measures and called for civil disobedience, concluded in Philadelphia.
The Colonists didn’t vote to split from Britain, but this congress set the stage for the Colonists building up the nerve to do so...Never forget, the Brits were the superpower of the world, and taking them on was a dangerous measure - thought by most to be impossible.
1881 - The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place in Tombstone, Arizona, as Wyatt Earp, his two brothers and Doc Holliday confronted Ike Clanton's gang. Three members of Clanton's gang were killed; Earp's brothers were wounded.
Stories like this one make for good folklore, but as far as having real historical value, I don't think so.
1906 - Workers in St. Petersburg set up the first Russian 'soviet,' or council.
Petersburg was the home of the 1905 Revolution, which was squashed by the Czarists. Even though it was a failure, it was a breeding ground for Russian communism, however...This 'soviet' was an outgrowth of the 1905 Revolution, and a strong point for the Communists in the 1917 Revolution.
Prior to 1905 almost all communist activity took place in nothing more than the minds of the movement's intellectuals - in safer lands in Western Europe...This revolution was spontaneous, had little to no involvement from the communist, and was an outpouring of anger against the Czar.
1920 - The Lord Mayor of Cork, Ireland, Terence McSwiney, died after a two-and-one-half-month hunger strike in a British prison cell, demanding independence for Ireland.
If the Irish truly want independence from the Brits they must either force the Brits to let them go or remain part of the United Kingdom...Yes, that means they must go Palestinian, or not.
If they can’t earn their freedom, they don’t deserve it...I know many will be shocked by this comment, but I believe in the 'right of conquest.' The Irish don't deserve their own land/nation anymore than the American Indians, Sumerians, Hittites, etc., did. If they want it, they must reconquer it.
1956 - The International Atomic Energy Agency was established.
What a waste of perfectly good American money...And make no mistake the U.N. runs on the back of the American taxpayer.
Every major country who wants to have nukes has them, or will have them...And there are plenty of minor countries who will eventually have them, because they recognize the geopolitical clout it gives them.
So, what exactly is the IAEA doing?? Not much. It's just another hand in the world’s largest Circle Jerk Group.
1988 - French pharmaceutical company, Roussel Uclaf, announced it would halt worldwide distribution of RU-486, a pill to induce abortions, because of "an outcry of opinion at home and abroad." The French government ordered the company to reverse itself two days later.
Re-read that. The pharma company was going to stop making the product, but France ordered them to continue!!! Imagine if the American government ordered a company to continue doing this?
I take that back, similar things are happening - through forced measures in ObamaCare.
1999 - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study which said the number of Americans considered obese soared from about one in eight in 1991 to nearly one in five in 1998.
They can get whatever percent they want depending on how they want to skew the data. They can change the data statistics and parameters to make 100% of America obese...Or they can play with the stats to make 100% of America underweight.
Statistics are interesting, but they can be toyed with to come to just about any conclusion the statistician desires...Which is exactly what they do - depending on what their goal for that particular set of statistics is.
That said, if you look around you will see plenty of overweight and out of shape Americans, but you won't see 1 out of every 5 to be obese.
