November 26 (A Triple)
43 B.C. - Octavian, Antony and Lepidus formed Rome's 'Second Triumvirate.'
The Lex Titia (a Roman law) established these three as ‘Triumvirs for the Organization of the People.”
Lepidus was a longtime friend of Julius Caesar’s, Antony was Rome’s greatest general (Caesar’s chief of staff), and Octavian was Caesar’s adopted son and designated successor...All three tried to sell this agreement as a 'partnership,' but the reality of the situation was a new civil war was on, and the Republic was soon to become the Empire - an empire led by the man presumed to be the weakest of the Triumvirs - Octavian, soon to be known as Augustus.
1095 - Pope Urban urged the faithful to wrest the Holy Land from the Muslims, heralding the start of the Crusades.
Forget popular propaganda, which states the West brutally invaded the Islamic world...From the time of Muhammad, Islam has been a religion of conquest.
Truth be told, the various warlords of the West weren't much better than their Muslim enemies, but they didn't intend to destroy Western Civilization...The Crusades never accomplished what their proclaimed intent was (capturing and holding the Holy Land), but they were successful in one important way: The Crusaders kept Islam from conquering most or even all of Europe.
1950 - China entered the Korean conflict, launching a counter-offensive by sending troops across the Yalu River.
It was mighty cold in Korea, but with this action the Korean War got much hotter.
The U.S. and South Korean forces were on the verge of finishing off the North Koreans, but this event changed the nature of the war...If caused Truman to flinch, led to the downfall of MacArthur, and sadly resulted in at least a partial victory for the North Koreans and the permanence of another Hell State.
That said, we should be proud of defending South Korea, because in doing so we saved who-knows-how-many millions of lives on the Korean Peninsula, and also slowed down the Communist advance in Asia.
885 - Danish Vikings attacked Paris and were paid by the Frankish king Charles the Fat not to destroy the city, as they had in 845 and 856.
Charlemagne must have been rolling over in his grave at seeing how far his empire had fallen.
Too bad the Vikings only came to pillage. They could have added some much needed lifeblood to the Frenchies had they conquered, stayed and changed the genetic composition of these maggots...Luckily, they at least took over the area which eventually became Normandy.
1789 - George Washington proclaimed this a National Thanksgiving Day in honor of the new Constitution. He made it clear the day should be one of prayer and giving thanks to God, to be celebrated by all the religious denominations.
So much for the myth of ‘separation of church and state’...This is the biggest of all the Liberal lies, and is widely believed, because it is the one most fiercely propagandized.
The Constitution guarantees the right to religious freedom, not freedom ‘from’ religion, and our Founders always made a point of thanking God for the blessing and glory of the nation He gave them.
1863 - The first modern Thanksgivings was held following the October 3 proclamation of President Lincoln to assign the last Thursday in November for this purpose.
Like Washington, Lincoln knew this country is blessed, and wanted to have a holiday to acknowledge it.
1865 - Alice in Wonderland was published.
Thanks to our Leftist friends, we are now living in it...Hopefully we'll be able to climb out of the 'rabbit-hole' someday - though it's impossible if we don't stop digging.
1938 - Poland renewed a non-aggression pact with the USSR to provide protection against a German invasion.
Treaties with Hitler and Stalin were as useless as toilet paper, and within a year the Soviets joined their Germans ‘allies,’ invading Poland from the east.
I hope you remember the Soviets were Germany's ally at the beginning of WWII...Which is why they deserved the ass kicking they received in 1941-42.
1939 - The Soviet Union blamed Finland for an artillery attack on its border: WWII.
Nice excuse to invade Finland.
The Winter War began, and the Ruskies performed miserably...But it was a nice prep for the big show, coming soon in the form of Operation Barbarossa: the German invasion of the USSR.
1941 – A Japanese task force left for Pearl Harbor: Admiral Chuichi Nagumo led the Japanese First Air Fleet, an aircraft carrier strike force, toward Pearl Harbor, with the understanding that should "negotiations with the United States reach a successful conclusion, the task force will immediately put about and return to the homeland": WWII.
We all know how this ended...It ended with the destruction of Japan and Germany, and the creation of the world’s greatest superpower.
As much as we wanted to stay out of WWII, the reality was the U.S. had to enter it. Not so much for our sake, but for the sake of civilization and humanity...We should have entered much earlier.
Keep this in mind in our current wars against the Islamists...Also keep in mind, being in the war isn't enough - we must crush them as we did the Japanese and Germans in order to bring them to heel.
1941 - Congress adopted a joint resolution, permanently setting the date of Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.
Like Washington and Lincoln, Congress knew this country is blessed, and wanted to have a permanent holiday to acknowledge it.
1997 - In a small but symbolic step, the United States and North Korea held high-level discussions at the State Department for the first time.
It certainly was 'small,' and may have even been 'symbolic,' but like much of the Clinton years, it was useless and produced no fruit...Unless the goal was to supply Dr. Ill with nukes, of course.
1997 - Rep. Joe Knollenberg announced he intended to introduce a bill in the next session that would allow citizens to install toilets with the original size of 3.5 gallons per flush instead of the presently federally mandated 1.6 gallons per flush.
If I want a high powered shitter, I should be able to have one...Why do I need the shit-heads in D.C. to give their approval?
That would be funny if it weren't so damn true.
