1994 - After many delays, the first trains for the public were run in the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) under the English Channel.
The Chunnel is an awesome feet of engineering: A 50-km-long, rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover, connecting England and France...Here’s hoping the Brits have a kill-switch to blow it up the next time the Germans plow through France.
Ok, the Germans are out of the conquest business...But the Muslims aren't.
565 - Byzantine Emperor Justinian I, 'the Great,' died.
Justinian ruled the Byzantines for 38-years, and was one of the greatest of the Roman emperors, and also its last great emperor.
I hope you understand the Byzantine Empire was nothing less than the continuation of the traditional Roman Empire, but was situated in Constantinople rather than Rome...Rome may have fallen in the 400's, but the Roman Empire lasted at Constantinople well into the 1500's.
1305 - Clement V was crowned the first 'Avignon Pope.'
The Avignon Papacy (1305-1378) was a period of ‘dual Popes,’ with one in Rome (the traditional Pope), and one in France (a French puppet).
This period is also know as the 'Western Schism' or the 'Period of the Anti-Popes'...Sadly, most Americans (even Catholic Americans) have no clue of this event, but it was a major issue in its time.
1863 – Nathan Bedford Forrest was assigned to command the Confederate forces of western Tennessee: U.S. Civil War.
N.B. Forrest is one of the greatest commanders of the Civil War, and it is lucky for the U.S. he was held in check by his own superiors. When given a chance to lead in the field, the Union forces he faced were amazed at his skill, ingenuity, and bravery, even though he was never formally trained in the military arts - He was a slave-trader, with exceptional instincts and no fear.
Oh by the way, NBF was also the first Grand Wizard of the KKK.
I highly recommend you read this fantastic book about this incredibly interesting (though terribly flawed) man: NB Forrest: A Biography.
1908 - Albert Einstein presented the Quantum Theory of Light.
I’m not going to try to explain this, but I’m sure there are some who’d like to read about it: photoelectric effect.
1935 - The Nazis deprived German Jews of their citizenship.
This is nothing compared to what was to come...It’s one thing to be 'deprived of citizenship,' and another to be ‘deprived of humanity.’
1940 - German planes bombed Coventry, England, destroying or damaging 69,000 buildings: WWII.
How come Liberals cry about the Allied bombing of Dresden and other German cities, but never mention the ‘rain of Hell’ the Krauts dropped on the Brits and the rest of Europe?? Seems to me every bomb the Germans received was well-earned.
1969 - 'Apollo 12' blasted off for the Moon.
Apollo 12 was the second manned lunar mission, and we must make sure to never forget the greatness of those who have been there. On this trip it was: Charles Conrad Jr., Richard F. Gordon Jr., and Alan L. Bean.
The membership of those who’ve been to the Moon is very small, hasn’t been increased in four decades, and includes only Americans.
1991 - Michael Jackson's 'Black or White' video premiered on FOX-TV.
Mikey didn't discriminate at all. He likes black little boys or white little boys...Or both at the same time.
1994 - President Clinton held one-on-one meetings with the leaders of China, Japan and South Korea, winning pledges to keep the pressure on North Korea to freeze its nuclear weapons program.
What he should have been doing was persuading China to kill Kim Jong il...There was no reasoning with him (nor his son, or grandson), and the only way to bring North Korea to the table of diplomacy is to rid it of the Kim family of nutty dictators - and yes, it's going to have to be the Chinese who finally get it done.
1998 - Iraq said it would resume cooperating with U.N. weapons inspectors as it appeared to back down in the face of a threatened U.S. attack.
I’m sure Iraqi pharmacy manufacturers were afraid of a U.S. attack, but Saddam knew Bubba didn’t have the spine to come after him.
1999 - The United Nations imposed sanctions on Afghanistan for refusing to hand over suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden.
What were they 'sanctioning?' The Afghanis only have two industries: Opium and Jihad.
