1492 - The first Spanish settlement in the New World was founded by Columbus at La Navidad - now Haiti.  It was later destroyed by the native Indians.

This was the first of many, but as always settlement wasn’t easy...This one didn’t last at all.

These Indians understood Pero's 'First Rule of Invasions': Kill the invader on the beach. At the very least, kill them before they get a chance to settle...This should have been an instinct in all the New World populations, but it wasn't meant to be.

Such is the brutal reality of history.

1862 - President Lincoln ordered the execution of 39 of the 303 Santee Sioux Indians who had been condemned after a very hasty trial, and a mass hanging of the unlucky ones was conducted.


"...the largest official mass execution in American history in which guilt of the executed cannot be positively determined."

Today we can't even execute those who are definitely guilty. Try to imagine how crazy Liberal nutters would go if an American President ordered the execution of ANY Jihadis.

1966 - The first Kwanzaa was celebrated.

The first? I thought it was practiced in Africa for many centuries prior to this date...What a colossal joke.

An even bigger joke:  Your children most likely can't celebrate a 'Christmas Party' in school, but I guarantee if they asked for a 'Kwanzaa Party' they'd be accommodated.

1982 - The Man of the Year in 'TIME Magazine' was a non-human for the first time. A computer received the honors as 1982’s "greatest influence for good or evil."

What a bunch of jackasses they must have over at 'TIME.' Picking a machine as the 'man' of the year is just stupid.

Almost as stupid as other organizations picking Bruce Jenner as the 2015 'Woman of the Year'...Penis and all.

December 6

1865 - The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, abolishing slavery.

It was overdue, and never would have happened without the Civil War...Never forget hundreds of thousands of white Americans died to keep the Union whole, and to bring about the freedom of their black brothers and sisters.

"Sometimes war is the only answer." - Dennis Prager

Keep this in mind every time you hear Liberals say otherwise.

1240 - Mongols under Batu Kahn occupied and destroyed Kiev, Russia.

FYI: The Mongols were also called Tartars and Tatars...If you’ve ever seen an old map or globe with much of Central Asia (including Russia) labeled as Tartary or Tartaria, this is why.

1812 - The majority of Napoleon Bonaparte's Grand Armeé staggered into Vilna, Lithuania, ending the failed Russian campaign.

What a disaster. After entering Russia with over 650,000 troops, the emperor returned to Paris with less than 10,000.

Like Hitler a century later, Napoleon took on much more than he could handle by invading Russia, and paid for it with the loss of his empire within three years.

1876 - The U.S. Electoral College picked Rutherford B. Hayes as president, although Tilden won the popular election. A questionable vote count in Florida ended and Hayes was ahead by 924 votes. The Democrat attorney general validated the Tilden electors.

Florida politics has always been interesting...Dirty and cheating politics isn't new, and isn't limited to any specific place, however.

1904 - Theodore Roosevelt confirmed the Monroe Doctrine with the pronouncement of the Roosevelt Corollary.

Teddy was the best. Here’s how he viewed American suzerainty over the Western Hemisphere:  Roosevelt proclaimed the United States, because it was a "civilized nation," had the right to stop "chronic wrongdoing" throughout the Western Hemisphere.

"Any country whose people conduct themselves well can count upon our hearty friendship. Chronic wrongdoing, however,...may force the United States to exercise an international police power."

1912 - China voted for universal human rights.

This is one of the funniest (and saddest) things I’ve ever read in my life...China is a long way from anything even close to acknowledging 'human rights.'

1917 - Former Czar Nicholas II and family were imprisoned by the Bolsheviks.

They weren't prisoners for long; instead they became dead...The Communists couldn't run the risk of a return of the Czar. Which is exactly what any good revolutionary would have done.

1924 - The U.S. Border Patrol was organized.

Any chance it can start patrolling? I don't blame the agents, I blame the politicians who've put restraints on the agents.

Again, can we please start patrolling the border?

1938 - France and Germany signed a treaty of friendship.

Hitler must have used all these treaties as toilet paper, and the French paid the price of appeasement and choosing bad 'friends' in less than a year.

1956 - Nelson Mandela and 156 others were jailed in South Africa on political charges.

South African apartheid was brutal and wrong, but it is mythology for anyone to see Mandela as anything other than an African Communist...Not a Stalinist or Maoist, but in the Marxist Utopian mold.

1991 - Senator Ted Kennedy, testifying at the trial of his nephew, William Kennedy Smith, denied hearing screams on the night Patricia Bowman said she was raped by Smith at the Kennedy estate in West Palm Beach, Florida.

That fat, drunk, bastard didn’t hear Mary Joe Kopeckne’s screams either, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen...So much for this ‘murderer’ being a legitimate witness.

2006 - Somalian Sheik Hussein Barre Rage, an Islamic courts official in Bulo Burto, said residents who do not pray five times a day will be beheaded.

Religion of peace? Or, religion of pieces?

September 17 (THE GREATEST DAY OF THE YEAR)

AS THE GREATEST DATE IN HISTORY (at least in Peroville), EVERY EVENT IS HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE.
--------------------------------------
1776 - Along the western coast of North America, a party of 247 Spanish colonists consecrated their newly-founded mission known as San Francisco.

These 247 people would be in absolute horror to see the filth, perversity and degeneracy which has taken over their city.

1787 - The United States Constitution was signed by a majority of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention.

Happy Constitution Day!!!

It's important to remember the three 'battles' which created and sealed our great country.

- The Declaration of Independence was the striking announcement of our intention to liberate from the Brits, and our aspiration to be a 'different' kind of nation.
- The Constitution was the rule book for our existence.
- The Civil War cemented our union.

All three were necessary to the creation and permanence of the United States of America...All three will either be honored in the present and future or their goals and successes will be lost forever - a reality which is always just one generation away from breaking us all.

1778 - The first treaty between the United States and Indian tribes was signed at Fort Pitt.

Treaties are nice, but they are always temporary...And each one the U.S. signed with the Indians was meant as a means of buying peace, while preparing the next conquest.

Such is the history of the world. Those who don’t believe this are simply ignorant to the brutal reality of history.

1796 - President George Washington delivered his 'Farewell Address' to Congress before concluding his second term in office, setting the stage for the nation's first two-party presidential campaign.

The importance of the 'Indispensable Man' is impossible to put a calculus on.

The Revolution would have likely failed without him and the Republic would never have survived it’s early years without his leadership...Read Washington’s Farewell Address.

1862 - The Battle of Antietam: U.S. Civil War.

The Battle of Antietam was the first major battle in the American Civil War...It is still the bloodiest day in U.S. history.

There were well over 23,000 casualties in the battle, with no clear cut winner, which made it a strategic victory for the Union because it could afford to absorb such huge losses...Unfortunately, that eventual victory was years away.

1902 - U.S. troops were sent to Panama to keep train-lines open over the isthmus as Panamanian nationals struggled for independence from Colombia.

Make no mistake, President Roosevelt didn't do this to help the Panamanians, it was to keep the proposed Canal Project alive - and to make sure the U.S. controlled it...Perfectly good reasons, and one of the many reasons TR is still one of our greatest foreign policy president ever.

1920 - The American Professional Football Association (a precursor of the NFL) was formed in Canton, Ohio.

Baseball is America’s pastime, but football is it’s favorite sport.

1939 - The Soviet Union invaded Poland:  WWII.

The Soviet ‘double-cross’ was on, and Poland was soon swallowed up in the West by Germany and the East by the Ruskies -just like in the Partitions.

The Jews have been the most abused single ethnic group in European history, but there are few other people who’ve suffered as much as the Poles, who had the unfortunate fate of landing between the Russian and German beasts.

Who know’s what Uncle Joe’s intentions were, but helping the Germans bought him space and time...Within two years the Nazi’s were marching through Poland to the Soviet Union and the extra distance and time saved the Soviets.

That said, the entire Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was reason enough for the Allies to turn their backs on the Soviets and let them hammer it out with the Germans from 1941-43, while the U.S. and Brits hit at the 'Soft underbelly of the German Empire.'

1942 - British Prime Minister Winston Churchill met with Soviet Premier Joseph Stalin in Moscow as the German Army rammed into Stalingrad:  WWII.

Stalin bitched and cried about the lack of an Allied offensive on the continental mainland, but Churchill insisted on the 'underbelly' strategy...And pretty much gave Stalin the middle-finger.

See the 1939 event...The Soviets got what they deserved.

1944 - British airborne troops parachuted into Holland to capture the Arnhem Bridge as part of Operation Market-Garden. The plan called for the airborne troops to be relieved by British troops, but they were left stranded and eventually surrendered to the Germans:  WWII.

Field Marshal Montgomery was a pansy, and this operation bore the fruit of his pathetic nature...It went SOUR.

1970 - PERO'S BIRTHDAY!

It's my blog, and as such I determine the greatness of the days and events...On this greatest of days, this is the greatest event to me personally - the most important day of my life.  A life for which I am forever grateful to so many for making a wonderful one.

1978 - After meeting at Camp David, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed a framework for a peace treaty.

In an administration of constant bungling, this was Carter’s one and only achievement, which was really set up and brokered by the Nixon/Ford Administration...But we can’t take Jimmy’s only highlight away from him.

September 7

1901 - The Boxer Rebellion, an attempt in China to drive out all foreigners, ended with the signing of the Peking Protocol.

China agreed to pay an indemnity to the European powers, lower tariffs on imports, and accept a strengthening of European protection of its representatives and interests...In other words, the Chinese agreed to continue taking it in the shorts from the European powers and Japan.
 
I have no doubt there will be a period of payback in the future.

1502 - Amerigo Vespucci returned from the New World to Lisbon, Portugal.

I love the name America, but it’s a shame Columbus wasn’t properly recognized.

By the way, the New World was originally named ‘Americus' until the map-makers decided to follow Europe’s lead and gave the new land a female name.

1714 - The Treaty of Baden was signed between the Holy Roman Empire and France, ending the War of Spanish Succession.

Like many European treaties, this one did little more than set the board for the next war...It did a little more than others, though, because it gave Alsace to France. A territory which the French and Germans fought over till the end of World War II.

As usual, the only real winner in this scrap was Great Britain.

1812 - The Battle at Borodino.

Napoleon showed his brilliance, but Borodino was a battle he couldn’t afford to fight, even though he won...It was a Phyrric victory which cost him in the end, and hastened his retreat from Russian.

1813 - The earliest known printed reference to the United States by the nickname 'Uncle Sam' occurred in the Troy Post.

Unfortunately, too many Americans actually think of the U.S. as their family...But not as an uncle - as their mommy and daddy.

1888 - An incubator was used for the first time on a premature infant when Edith Eleanor McLean became the first baby to be placed in an incubator. She weighed 2 pounds, 7 ounces.

This is a fantastic use of medical technology, and it’s impossible to count how many lives have been saved by such devices.

1940 - Nazi Germany began its initial 'blitz' on London:  WWII.

The Blitz was a strategic bombing campaign against London, as part of the overall Battle of Britain...It lasted in earnest for 57 continuous nights, but continued in part through 1945.

1977 - The Panama Canal Treaty and Neutrality Act, calling for the U.S. to eventually turn over control of the waterway to Panama, was signed.

Thanks a lot President Carter...The world was much safer with the U.S. controlling the Canal, rather than China. Which is where it is headed.

1979 - The Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) made its cable TV debut.

At the time, this was Heaven on Earth for sports-freaks like myself...Unfortunately, it's become much less entertaining as time goes on.

1993 - Dr. Joycelyn Elders was confirmed by the Senate as U.S. Surgeon General.

HOW IN THE HELL DID WE HAVE A U.S. SURGEON GENERAL WHO WAS FRIENDLY TOWARD PEDOPHILIA? This is repulsive, but perfectly in line with the degeneracy of the Clinton Administration.

Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself: Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children from Sex. (Foreword by Dr. Joycelyn Elders).
