THIS DAY IN HISTORY

January 21

1924 - Vladimir Lenin died of a brain hemorrhage.

Lenin is one of the most important figures of the 20th Century...I'd like to say for better or for worse, but truth be told it was only for worse.

Sadly, as bad as the pathetic Soviet people had it under Lenin, they didn't get a reprieve after his death.  Instead they found out the real meaning of Hell - under Joseph Stalin.

1522 - Adrian Florisz Boeyens was elected Pope, as Adrian VI.

Normally I don't make much of Popes being elected, but this one is special for his previous role:  He was the leader of the Inquisition.

I've said it many times, but this event proves it as well as any, the Church has had its share of scoundrels.  Adrian was one of the most bloody.

1880 - The first sewage system which was separated from storm drains was created; in Memphis, Tennessee.

It's hard to put enough emphasis on sanitation, because as a modern American I've never lived in a place of filth...Thankfully.

1954 - The first atomic submarine, the USS Nautilus, was launched at Groton, Connecticut.

Global Reach, Global Power, By Sea, Land or Air, 24/7, 365 days a year...Here's hoping President Trump will rebuild our military and restore it to it's former power - especially the Navy.


1968 - The Battle of Khe Sanh began:  U.S.-Vietnam War.

Both sides claimed victory in this battle - per normal - but the ultimate outcome was the Americans leaving the base, and the North Vietnamese laying the groundwork for the Tet Offensive.

1977 - President Carter pardoned American Vietnam War-era draft evaders and ordered a case-by-case study of deserters.

This makes me sick...Any and all draft evaders should be tried for subversive activities. Including our pathetic 41st president.


1997 - Trying to improve its tarnished image, the Democratic National Committee announced it would no longer accept money from people or companies with foreign ties and would limit contributions from labor unions and wealthy benefactors.

Hahahaha!!! This is one of the biggest lies ever told by the DNC. And that's saying a lot considering how high the bar is...It’s time they change their party logo from the Jackass to Pinocchio.


And no one has ever mastered the cash-grab from foreigners, labor unions and the super-rich more than Barack Obama and the Clintons.
