January 23 (A Triple)

1368 - Emperor Hongwu established the Ming Dynasty in China.

This event ended Mongol rule in China, re-establishing Chinese rule by Chinese. It also set China on a path towards what some historians have called "one of the greatest eras of orderly government and social stability in human history."

1556 - The deadliest earthquake on record killed 830,000 in Shensi, China.

830,000 dead in one earthquake!  That is truly awesome - in a horrible way...How horrible?  It is more deaths than the U.S. lost in WWI, WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and the various Persian Gulf/Wars on Terror combined.

1922 - The first successful test on a human patient with diabetes occurred when insulin was administered to dangerously ill Leonard Thompson.

Thankfully this happened in the 1920’s instead of today, and an unknown amount of human-beings have been able to live normal and decent lives as a result.

If it happened today, the manufacturer would have to jump though hoops to get it to the patients in need:

1. Pass exceedingly difficult FDA requirements. Including the normal process of testing, lobbying and payoffs.

2. Who knows if patients would even be able to get the new drug, because the cost would be astronomical - covering the cost of discovery, production, liability, testing, profit, and the cost to American taxpayers subsidizing it for the rest of the world.

3. A few patients would surely have negative reactions to the medicine, and the legal battles would cause the drug to be pulled from the market, even though its benefits to millions far outweigh the negative affects to a few.

Sadly, this is the reality of new medications in the U.S...Even more sad, it's not much of a stretch to believe there are many life-saving medications currently sitting on shelves waiting for their chance to help people while bureaucrats decide if they can be put on the market and for manufacturers to decide if it is profitable enough to put on the market.

638 - The first day of the Islamic calendar.

Congratulations.

1516 - Ferdinand II of Aragon died and was succeeded as King of Spain by his grandson Charles V.

The Habsburg lines were united (Holy Roman Empire/Austria and Spain/New World), and the rest of Europe let out a collective moan.

It had been over 700-years since one European ruler held such a vast amount of territory (Charlemagne), and the other powers could not allow this...As a result Charles had very few, if any, years of peace during his reign.

1668 - The Triple Alliance was founded:  Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden.

This was a defensive alliance against France, and was absolutely necessary with the 'Sun King' looking outwards towards new lands to dominate.

1793 - The Second Partition of Poland:  Prussia and Russia divided Lithuania and Poland.

I can’t think of any nation as geographically unlucky as Poland, sandwiched between the Russian and German beasts.

1812 - A 7.8 earthquake struck New Madrid, Missouri.

The New Madrid Fault Line is a monster, and the center of the U.S. is captive to it's reawakening...A reawakening which, if history proves correct, will likely make this 7.8 look small.

1948 - The Soviets refused U.N. entry into North Korea to administer elections.

From the very beginning the U.N. was a corrupt ‘Paper Tiger’ with no teeth...This should have been the day the U.S. withdrew from the Circle-Jerk Group.

1989 - The U.S. Supreme Court invalidated a Richmond, Virginia program requiring 30% of the city’s public works funds be set aside for 'minority-owned' construction firms.

What kind of ‘Reverse Racism' plan was this? I don’t know for certain, but I’d be willing to bet 30% of the city’s construction firms aren't owned by minorities, yet they thought they should get 30% of the contracts?

I’d also be willing to bet this had more to do with lining the pockets of a few minority owned companies (fraud), than to being a civil rights program.

1991 - Iraqi forces in Kuwait deliberately created a huge oil spill in the Persian Gulf.

This was a small act compared to what they later did, but Liberals would still prefer Saddam over President Bush...Even the EnviroNuts who 'supposedly' care about such things as oil spills.

2002 - John Walker Lindh, a U.S.-born Taliban fighter, was returned to the United States to face criminal charges that he conspired to kill fellow Americans.

What kind of message is sent that this POS wasn’t executed as a traitor?

2002 - The U.N. sent famine relief to Zimbabwe.

I’m sure ‘The Beast’ (President Mugabe) made sure all of this 'relief' went to the starving Zimbabwean people...Sure.

January 17

1991 - The U.S. Patriot Defense Missile was used in battle for the first time.  It shot down an Iraqi Scud fired at Saudi Arabia.

The Patriot defense system is truly revolutionary, because never in the history of ballistic warfare had a defensive weapon been used to intentionally eliminate an offensive weapon in use.

And for those who question the efficacy of missile defense:  The Russians and Chinese oppose and hate the development, production and placement of all types of missile defense...Which should say a lot about its effectiveness.

395 - Roman Emperor Theodosius died.

Theodosius was the last emperor to effectively rule the Roman Empire as a complete unit...Another event in a long line of events leading to the 'Fall of Rome.'

On his death, he granted his two sons parts of the Empire, which was permanently divided between the East and West...The West (Rome) fell in about 100 years, but the East (Constantinople) lasted for over 1,000 more.

1501 - The Papacy returned from Avignon to Rome.

Most people have no idea the Catholic Church went through a period where the Pope wasn't at Rome, or that there were periods of two competing Popes...Such is the ignorance of the American educational system - which is great when it comes to degenerate studies and Leftwing propaganda, but fails miserably when it comes to legitimate history.

The Catholic Church has always been a political entity, but never as much as it was during the pre-Reformation era.  It's too bad for the Church it took its fracturing, as well as being 'put in its place' by the various European princes and monarchs, before it was able to return to its primary position as the spiritual leader of the Christian world.

1821 - Mexico allowed Moses Austin and 300 U.S. families to settle in Texas.

Big mistake for the Mexicans...Huge boom for the U.S.

1935 - The League of Nations voted to award Germany the Saar Basin.

The first Nazi appeasement.

Hitler could tell from the beginning that France, Britain and the Soviets would do just about anything to avoid a fight...Unfortunately, Hitler was willing to do anything to force them to fight.

1945 - Soviet and Polish forces liberated Warsaw:  WWII.

The Soviets were nice enough to let the Poles do most of the fighting - and dying...A systematic scheme to undermine the Poles from the very beginning of their liberation.

Once again, lets not get too crazy about any sentence containing the words 'Soviet' and 'liberate.'

1946 - The United Nations Security Council held its first meeting.

Vomit In, Vomit Out!!

1964 - The PLO charter was put together with articles proclaiming Israel an illegal state, pledging "the elimination of Zionism in Palestine."

Few things are as amazing as the survival of the Jewish State in the middle of the Muslim wasteland...I’ve said for years, I don’t see how Israel can outlast its enemies. Here’s hoping I’m very wrong. Past history says I'm probably not.

1982 - 'Cold Sunday':  The U.S. saw temperatures drop to the lowest levels in over 100 years in many cities.

Had to be Global Cooling, back before Global Warming, back before Climate Change, of course...Sure.

1995 - The Kobe Earthquake:  A massive 7.2 earthquake destroyed Kobe, Japan, killing over 5,000.

Nature truly is a 'Mother.'

1997 - A French medical team removed ten bullets from Uday Hussein, son of Saddam Hussein. One bullet was still left lodged in his spine.

How nice of the French to save one of the worlds biggest psychopaths...Papa Hussein was bad, and Kim Jong Ill was a treat as well, but Uday may have taken the cake.

I’m sure the people Uday sent through the plastic shredders, or the soccer players who lost their legs for losing soccer matches, thanked these French bastards for saving Saddam's loony son...Thankfully the U.S. Military gave him a proper ending six years later.

1998 - President Bill Clinton was interrogated during a deposition in the Paula Jones case. It was the first time a sitting president was interrogated in a court case. During the nearly six hours of sworn testimony, Clinton denied he engaged in a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

This was a civil trial, not some 'right wing conspiracy'...AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES COMMITTED PERJURY!!!!!!

That said, the problem with Clinton was never about sexual relations (sadly much of America had no problem with his sexual weakness), but was about his overall lack of honesty and decency...We’ve had rogues in the White House before, but none were quite like Bubba.

Thankfully, his equal despicable wife will never be President.

2001 - The British House of Commons voted to ban fox hunting.

How pathetic for what was formerly the most powerful nation on Earth to have its federal government reduced to such stupid governance.

Sadly, the U.S. government is getting to this point, as well.

2003 - The Strategic Partnership with Africa (SPA), consisting of 15 developed nations, international lending institutions and U.N. agencies, concluded its annual meeting in Addis Ababa, agreeing to increase aid to Africa.

What a colossal joke...No one at the U.N. cares about Africa (as displayed in Rwanda, the Sudan, etc.). They just pay off African dictators in order to get their support in the Circle Jerk Group, and to steal their  natural resources.

January 12 (A Double)

1896 - H.L. Smith took the first X-ray photograph - a hand with a bullet in it.

This was a huge development in the history of medicine..And one which extended well past medicine. For better and for worse.

1943 - Soviet forces penetrated the siege of Leningrad, creating a breach in German lines, which had encircled the city for a year and a half. This breach allowed more supplies to come in along Lake Ladoga, the lifeline of the Leningrad resistance:  WWII.

The Battle of Leningrad is one of the greatest battles in world history, and should be read by all...I recommend 'The 900 Days,' by Harrison Salisbury.

The Russians lost approximately one million lives in almost 900-days; around 1,000 per day for 2 1/2 years...As a point of reference, imagine the effect a 9/11/01 or Pearl Harbor every 2-3 days for almost three years would have on America.

The 'City of Lenin,' (or 'Peter' for those who are true historians) much like Stalingrad, could not fall to the Germans, and Hitler was so maniacal he insisted on conquering it, when bludgeoning, isolating and bypassing the city made much more strategic sense.

1893 - Hermann Goering was born.

Happy Birthday, you fat-ass, psychotic, piece of human garbage!!

That said, the field marshal is one of my favorite Nazis to read about.

1918 - The U.S. government agreed to use state prisoners as farm laborers.

Can you imaging if we did this today? The ACLU and the rest of the Liberal Jackals would be howling mad.

Who cares what the ACLU wants, though.  It sounds like a much better plan than bringing in millions of illegal aliens to do the same work...But I’m sure in modern-day, moronic, Liberal America this would be considered “cruel and unusual punishment.”

1948 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled states could not discriminate against law-school applicants because of race.

Of course race shouldn’t preclude anyone from law school (or any school)...Neither should gender, etc.

This should include whites and men, by the way, because 'Reverse Racism' is as repugnant as 'Direct Racism'...Except in Liberalville, of course, where they not only push for Reverse Racism but also push for the "soft bigotry of low expectations." - G.W. Bush.

It's what keeps Democrats in office, and has been a brilliant political scheme for over 60-years.

1950 - The USSR reintroduced the death penalty for treason, espionage and sabotage.

In 1950?  That would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

1961 - A United Nations pact banning genocide went into effect.

Bangladesh (1971), East Timor (1975-99), Cambodia (1975-79), Bosnia (1992-95), Rwanda (1994), Darfur (2004-today).

Looks like banning genocide works really well.

1976 - The U.N. Security Council voted 11-1 to seat the Palestine Liberation Organization for its debate on the Middle East. The United States cast the only dissenting vote.

Yet we continue to prop up this joke of an organization - actually both...So, we get what we ask for.

1990 - Romania became the first Warsaw Pact member to ban the Communist Party.

Considering Romania's sordid history, banning Commies is unlikely to keep them from reverting to poor form.

1991 - A deeply divided U.S. Congress gave President G.H.W. Bush the authority to expel Iraq from Kuwait.

Wait a minute.  I thought everyone supported the first Gulf War - just not the second one...This is the mythology we've all heard from Democrats and their lap-dogs in the media for the past two decades.

For the record:  The Senate voted 52-47, the House voted 250-183.

Can you believe there were actually 48 dirt bag Senators (47 + 1 dissenter) and 183 POS Representatives who voted to allow Saddam to keep Kuwait?

Democrats of course!

This same group of clowns were raging again 12-years later when the time came to get rid of the 'Butcher of Baghdad'...So much for the lie that Democrats supported the First Gulf War because we had a 'global mandate' to free Kuwait.

1995 - Amid unprecedented media hype, the murder trial of Hall of Fame football star O.J. Simpson began in a Los Angeles Superior Court. Simpson was accused of killing his ex-wife Nicole and her friend Ronald Goldman.

It’s hard to believe, but this is still the biggest media story in my 40+ year existence...It got every bit as much play as 9/11, Iraq War, Katrina, Obama, etc., and certainly was overwhelmingly covered for a longer period of time.

Incredibly, 'The Juice' got away with murder...Equally incredible, justice was finally served when he was put in prison for such a stupid act as trying to steal his own stolen football paraphernalia.

1998 - Nineteen European nations signed a treaty in Paris opposing human cloning.

Sure...We’ll see how long the Mengelian-wannabes are held at bay on this one.

1998 - Germany said it agreed to establish a $110 million fund to compensate Jewish victims of the Nazis in eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Payments from the fund would be released starting in 1999 over a period of four years, benefiting an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 victims.

So the other 9-10 million were ‘freebies’? I guess this makes everything alright, though, for the 17,000.

Uhhh, do you realize that comes to a paltry $6,471 per person? (110,000,000/17,000).

A piece of crap used car costs over $6,471. I guess Der Fuhrer was right and the life of a Jew really is cheap.

2000 - The U.S. Supreme Court gave police broad authority to stop and question people who run at the sight of an officer.

They should have given the police the 'authority' to see if the 'runners' can outrun a bullet...If you have nothing to run from, then don't run.

2010 - A massive earthquake struck Haiti.

200,000-300,000 Haitians were killed as a result of this event...As a point of reference, the U.S. had around 400,000 deaths in all of WWII.

Nature is truly a 'mother.'

November 1

1952 - The U.S. exploded the world's first hydrogen bomb, at Eniwetok Atoll, in the Pacific Ocean.

20 tons of TNT, and 1000 times larger than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan...Definitely a huge event in history.

We better all hope testing is as far as it goes, and one of these monsters is never used in anger.

82 B.C. - The Battle of the Porta Collina (Colline Gate).

The Roman Republic was fighting for its life, and after an extended civil war, Sulla emerged from this battle, capturing Rome and assuming the title of dictator...A title which had a much different meaning at that time than during ours.

1755 - An earthquake in Lisbon, Portugal, killed 60,000 people (about 2/3 of the population).

A terrible event for sure, but this isn't what I find interesting about the headline.

In 1755 Lisbon had just under 100,000 people...250 years later this city has over 3,500,000 people. An increase of 3500%!!!

1861 - General George B. McClellan was promoted to General-in-Chief of the Union Armies:  U.S. Civil War.

McClellan was a favorite of the ‘Eastern elite,’ and had a great reputation as a military commander. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the testicular fortitude to put the worlds largest and best equipped army to use...And make no mistake, at this point in history this army was exactly what I stated - huge, equipped, but with poor leadership and green troops.

McClellan spent a great amount of time planning battles instead of fighting them, and didn’t have the instincts it took to crush the Confederates when he had his chances in 1861-62...In other words McClellan was the Civil War's version of post-El Alamein Monty in WWII.

1871 - Gustav Mahler wrote he had become a vegetarian, saying he thought it would regenerate the human race if everybody stopped eating meat.

I wish people like this would stop eating all together.

1918 - The Habsburg monarchy of Austria-Hungary was dissolved.

This kingdom was also known as the Dual Monarchy or the K.U.K. Monarchy = 'Kaiserlich und Königlich.' German for 'Imperial and Royal.'

The dissolution of Austria-Hungary was long overdue, and good for both Austria and Hungary...That said, had it not been for the former strength of the Habsburg, it's likely most of Europe would be praying to Allah.

1922 - Following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey became a republic.

The land of modern-day Turkey has always been one of immense importance, and continues to be...It's too bad in its current form it's much closer to its Ottoman than its Byzantine roots.

1936 - In a speech in Milan, Italy, Benito Mussolini described the alliance between his country and Nazi Germany as an "axis" running between Rome and Berlin.

The Paperboy almost had it right...He should have said 'asses' instead of axis.

1990 - President GHW Bush accused Iraqi forces of engaging in "barbarism" and "brutality," adding "I don't believe that Adolf Hitler ever participated in anything of that nature."

GHW Bush is a good man, but this was an absolutely ignorant comment.

There are few people in the history of the world who's actions can be compared to the barbarism and brutality of Hitler...The Iraqis may have been his peers, though not in quantity, but they were in no way his superior when it comes to either barbarism or brutality.

1993 - The Maastricht Treaty was enacted, establishing the European Union.

What a colossal joke!!!

Since the fall of Rome, Europeans have been hoping for a united Europe...And since this same time have failed.

The continent is made up of so many dissimilar people, and the history of warfare among them has been awesome. Brutally awesome.

It will never happen, And proof of the failure is the fact it is 2017 and there is no European constitution, because they can't work one out to everyone's satisfaction...If anything, it's much more likely the EU will collapse, the euro will fail, and traditional European states will splinter.

October 17 (A Triple)

1777 - The Battle of Saratoga ended: American Revolutionary War.  British General John Burgoyne surrendered to American General Horatio Gates.

Saratoga was a series of battles, and one of the most important in the American Revolution because it kept the Americans in the war and was the deciding factor in the French entering the 'North American skirmish' against the Brits...As such it is one of the turning points of the Revolution.
 
1781 - The Battle of Yorktown ended:  American Revolutionary War.

Yorktown was the last major battle of the American Revolution...The combined American and French troops killed or captured almost every British soldier in the battle, and the Brits were forced to the negotiation table as a result of their losses.

A true 'revolution' in the history of mankind, with an upstart group of colonies breaking away from the world's greatest power - creating a nation unlike any previously seen in history.

1956 - The first nuclear power plant in the world opened in England.

Someday every power plant will run on the power of the atom...It is much more efficient than oil, coal, water, wind, etc., and exponentially less dirty than oil and coal - secrets the EnvironMENTALists choose to ignore.

Why the U.S. has allowed the anti-nuclear psychos to keep us dependent on oil and coal is beyond me...Same for the nuts who think we can be powered by the sun and wind - or unicorn farts.

1244 - The Sixth Crusade ended when an Egyptian-Khwarismian force almost annihilated the French Army.

The Sixth Crusade is important because it was the first which wasn't called for by the Pope. Like the others, however, this one was doomed to failure, and after almost 250-years and six different invasions of the Holy Land the West reclaimed nothing...But did stall the advance of Islam towards the West.

1931 - Mobster Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion and sentenced to eleven years in prison. He was released in 1939.

How does a notorious gangster get released early? Who cares if he was going to die? He should have died in his jail cell, or in the grips of 'Ol Sparky.'

1933 - Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany.

Hitler was a stupid-ass...Thankfully!

The present world might be spinning on the axis of the swastika had Der Fuhrer not chased off or killed most of Germany's Jewish scientists.

1973 - Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back on oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo which lasted until March 1974.

To combat this the U.S. decided to cut back on oil drilling and refining...To appease the EnvironMENTALists.

Talk about national suicide.

1980 - Mt. St. Helens erupted three times in 24 hours, in Washington.

Global Warming!!!  No, make that George W. Bush’s fault.

1989 - An earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale hit Northern California, killing 67 people.

Much of the U.S. watched this event unfold, during the pregame of the Giants-A's World Series...A horrible scene.

What's amazing is less than 100 people died in the earthquake...San FranSicko is an enormously dense city, and other cities of its size worldwide with such earthquakes usually have deaths in the thousands.

Again, Global Warming, or W...Or maybe Donald Trump's fault.

1995 - President Bill Clinton told wealthy contributors at a Houston fund-raiser "you think I raised your taxes too much? It might surprise you to know that I think I raised them too much, too." - A statement which drew criticism from both Republicans and Democrats.

I still don’t know how Bubba does the triangulated-calculus of the bullshit he spews out...It truly is a talent.

September 19

1777 - The First Battle of Saratoga: American Revolutionary War.

Saratoga was a series of battles, which lasted from September 19 to October 17, and is considered by many to be the great turning point in the Revolutionary War.

It was also one of its most decisive battles. Of British General Burgoyne's 10,000 troops, the Americans killed or captured around 7,600...The American force lost less than 900.

1356 - The Battle of Poitiers: An English army led by the 'Black Prince' defeated King John II of France at the end of the first phase of the Hundred Years War.

This was one of the three great English victories in the 100 Years War, but wasn't enough to finish the French off.

FYI: I hope you know the 100 Year's War wasn't really 100-years, but was 116-years long: 1337-1453.

1737 - In India’s Bay of Bengal a cyclone destroyed 20,000 ships. It was estimated more than 300,000 people died in the densely populated area called the Sundarbans. Later research indicated the population of Calcutta at the time to be around 20,000, and the estimated number of deaths was revised down to about 3,000.

1. That’s a huge revision of the death toll, from 300,000 to about 3,000...Dan Rather must have been reporting the story.

2. From 1737 to today, Calcutta went from being a city of 'around 20,000' people to over 4,500,000...That's truly amazing.

What I really want to know is how did such a massive cyclone occur before the advent of Man-Made Global Warming?  Hmmmmmmm????

1863 - The Battle of Chickamauga began (ended September 20): American Civil War.

Chickamauga was the worst Union defeat in the Western Theatre of the Civil War, and one of the few battles in the war where the Confederates outnumbered the Union force...The Confederates also had superior leadership in this battle, which was normal during this time of the war.

Technically, Bragg and Longstreet were the commanding generals for the Confederates, but it was Nathan Bedford Forrest who stole the show...I highly recommend you read about this man, who was one of the most brilliant Confederate field commanders, and also the most despised - by both sides.

Thankfully, the Confederates hated him so much they never properly used him against the Union.

1870 - Germans laid siege to Paris, as two Prussian armies began a 135-day siege, which caused the collapse of the French Second Empire:  Franco-Prussian War.

The Prussians were flexing their muscle, and beginning a 75-year pattern of Germans kicking the French around...The still do it by the way.  They just use Euros as their weaponry, instead of bullets and bombs.

1918 - American troops of the Allied North Russia Expeditionary Force clashed with Soviet forces near town of Seltso.

How many of you knew the U.S. sent troops to fight in the Russian Civil War? I’m sure not many...Go here for a short read about the American Polar Bears.

May 18 (A Double)

1974 - India became a nuclear power when its first atomic bomb successfully exploded in the Rajasthan Desert.

The 'Smiling Buddha' exploded and India became the sixth nation to join the most exclusive club on Earth...Sadly, I can easily see India being the next country to take an atomic hit - from members of the 'Religion of Piece,' of course - Pakistan in particular.
 
1980 - The 9,677-foot Mt. St. Helens volcano in Washington state, quiet for 93 years, exploded. The volcanic blast was five hundred times more powerful than the atomic bomb which leveled Hiroshima. Steam and ash erupted more than eleven miles into the sky and darkened skies in a 160-mile radius. Forest fires erupted around the volcano and burned out of control, took 1,300 feet off the top of the mountain and left 57 people dead or missing.

Nature truly is a “mother.”

1291 - The Mameluke Sultan of Egypt and his son took the last Christian stronghold of Acre, breaking the hold of Christians in the Holy Land.

The Crusades were doomed to failure, even though they continued for a while longer...The logistics of fighting battles a continent away were miserable, and holding and maintaining them was even more cumbersome.

Plus, the European Christians were never united enough to stop fighting each other while fighting the Muslims.

1896 - 'Plessy v. Ferguson: The U.S. Supreme Court endorsed the concept of "separate but equal" racial segregation.

This is the same branch of government Liberals claim has always been the beacon of hope for the republic...By the way, it was the Dems who pushed to continue slavery and segregation as well.

1908 - The motto "In God We Trust" was made mandatory on all United States coins.

How long till the ACLU(seless) goes after this as a 'separation of church and state' issue? Bunch of communist jackals.

1933 - The Tennessee Valley Authority was created. It's purpose was to control Tennessee River floods, institute a reforestation program on lands in the valley and provide rural electrification.

Of all FDR’s New Deal programs this is the one that has had the most positive effect...But it wasn't created to 'control floods.' It was founded to create jobs, and compared to the ridiculous government stimulus programs in our time it was genius.

1944 - Allied forces finally occupied Monte Cassino in Italy after a four-month struggle which claimed about 20,000 lives:  WWII.

A hard fought victory, and one that had to be won, even if the monastery needed to be destroyed...The Germans had to be routed out of Italy and forced to surrender or retreat to Germany, and couldn't be bypassed allowing them to have forces at our back on the way to Germany.

1944 - In the Soviet Union, the expulsion of more than 200,000 Tartars from the Crimea began after the Tartars were accused of collaborating with the Germans:  WWII.

They may or may not have been helping the Krauts, but the reality of the situation is Stalin was looking for any excuse to remove an impediment to his power, and used expulsion, the Gulag, and famine as his tools of choice.

1964 - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was unconstitutional to deprive naturalized citizens of U.S. citizenship if they return to their country of birth for more than three years.

Why did they come here to establish citizenship if they didn’t want to be here? To get free stuff of course.

1965 - President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Head Start Bill into law.

What a waste of time...This program is in its 52nd year, and American school children are worse off than they’ve ever been.

If the government spent nearly as much money and time keeping families together and executing criminals and child abusers, children would have an infinitely better chance of succeeding - in school and life - by having steady homes and safe places to study and live....But that was never the goal.

Like most Liberal programs the goal was getting more people sucked into government give-away programs to make them dependent on Democrat politicians.  Politicians who used these dependents to gain more and more personal power.

A truly genius political scheme.  A truly terrible scheme to be caught in for those who fall prey to it.

1983 - The U.S. Senate approved a major revision of the nation's immigration laws giving millions of illegal aliens already in the United States the opportunity to gain legal status under an amnesty program.

UGHHHH!!!! We are asking for our own demise...Say what you will, but the Germanic tribes overran Rome after centuries of ‘legal’ migrations. We will all be dead when it happens, but the U.S. is following the same path.
