With respect and a tip of the hat to my friend, Loki...

WWII ended with the Japanese signing the terms of surrender on the U.S.S. Missouri in 1945. This allowed my Dad and many others to finally return home...alive. The U.S. Treasury was founded in 1789. Teddy Roosevelt first publicly spoke the phrase 'Speak softly, and carry a big stick,' at the Minnesota State Fair, 1901. And, General William Tecumseh Sherman occupied Atlanta, 1864, prior to his infamous 'march to the sea.'

You saved me the trouble; I overslept. One of my uncles was a Marine in the Pacific Theater. He was at Saipan.

It should be noted that Sherman refused to use black troops in his army. He was not really against s***ery, per se, as long as "humane conditions" applied.

In spite of Teddy's popularity, it must be remembered that his Bull Moose Party ended up inflicting Woodrow Effing Wilson on the United States.

Saipan was one of the Pacific campaigns my Dad was involved in. The others were Guadalcanal, S. Solomons, Tarawa, Okinawa and Tinian.

It would appear, Vernon, that you haven't read many, or enough, of my postings. Otherwise, you would have made a point of bringing up all the 'shots' I have taken at both Hillary & The Donald. I care for neither, yet you seem to see, read and comment only that of your choosing. As I stated in an earlier post, Trumpsters seem to be possessed of the same thin skin as their hero. What happened with your early choice of Scott Walker?

Let it be pointed out that, on this day in history, you got in your cheap shot at me.

Meet LadyBug, our Min-Pin.

Eagleye, IMO, you are one of the least likely posters on OPP to qualify for criticizing anyone with bad instincts.

BTW, I am neither a Z*****t, nor am I Jewish.

I apologize, Vernon, for taking it as such. Maybe I took it personally because it surprised me, coming from you...whom I have expressed admiration for on several occasions, both publicly and privately. I try very hard not to let superficial differences, political or otherwise, in viewpoints come between myself and people I like or, dislike, for that matter...for any reason.

It has seemed that all my negative or less-than-favorable threads on Hillary Clinton have gone unscathed, yet any that I post critical of The Donald catches hell. I dare say I have been equally critical of both, and have grown tired of having to point that out. Again, sorry.

I doubt I ever claimed that, as that I do not believe.

Taken in maybe.

Admittedly, I am continually taken in by facts and/or the t***h. Much of what is presented as t***h on OPP is far from it. But, as Roger Aisles reportedly said..."T***h is wh**ever people will believe."

One of these days, amigo, I'll get around to posting a picture of Peaches, my Maxi-Pit. She is much more photogenic than me. (According to my wife, she also has better manners than daddy. )
