The men and ladies take celebrating ANY HOLIDAY very seriously.
Mother Nurse bought an extra supply of aspirin this week. I think she and I are the only sober ones at the end of the festivities because neither of us drinks alcohol. 😁😎

Love that man!
General MacArthur never said that. That was a Union officer in the Civil War, Rear Admiral David Farragut. MacArthur is the one who said
"I shall return!" This was when he was evacuated from the Philippines.

Who, of sound mind, would want them to introduce radical liberal legislation which goes against AmericaâÂÂs values, work ethic, desire for safety and their love of God. They do not have the good American peopleâÂÂs interest in mind.
They are going to pay âÂÂbig timeâ for their rude moronic outbursts from the gallery, slander, libel and grandstanding by the Democrats that turned a âÂÂpurposeful judicial hearingâ into a âÂÂCircus of Malicious Clowns.âÂÂ

Great rally in Topeka. The âTrump Effectâ is gathering steam!
I watched that. 11,000 in the stadium and thousands more outside. They anticipated a huge turnout so they installed large flat screens on the walls outside so the people out there could watch.
An army officer and combat vet is running for congress from Kansas. The Republican candidate for governor of Kansas is going to win in a landslide.
MAGA!

Ya know I've heard a couple of people say it was a civil war quote. But did they HAVE torpedoes in that era?

From the previous page of this thread....
“Damn the torpedoes, Full speed ahead!”
Admiral David Glasgow Farragut (1801-1870). Aboard Hartford, Farragut entered Mobile Bay, Alabama, 5 August 1864, in two columns, with armored monitors leading and a fleet of wooden ships following. When the lead monitor Tecumseh was demolished by a mine, the wooden ship Brooklyn stopped, and the line drifted in confusion toward Fort Morgan. As disaster seemed imminent, Farragut gave the orders embodied by these famous words. He swung his own ship clear and headed across the mines, which failed to explode. The fleet followed and anchored above the forts, which, now isolated, surrendered one by one. The torpedoes to which Farragut and his contemporaries referred would today be described as tethered mines.

They had mines. They called them torpedoes.
Historical trivia...they also had land mines which were, curiously, also called torpedoes.)

Yes, they did, and good morning, Smedley. From my post just above this one of yours, "The torpedoes to which Farragut and his contemporaries referred would today be described as tethered mines."
Good to see you're up and about.
