  4. Like Joe Biden? Who, need I remind you, is OLDER than Trump?
  5. A LAUGH FOR TODAY❤ When NASA was preparing for the Apollo moon landings of the late 60s and early 70s, they did some astronaut training along a Navajo Indian reservation in the SW. One day, a Navajo elder and his grandson were herding animals and came across the space crew. The old man, who only spoke Navajo, asked a question, which the grandson translated: "What are the guys in the big suits doing?" A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the moon." Then, recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, added, "We will be leaving behind a special record with greetings in many languages and such. Would the old man be interested in giving us a greeting to include?" Upon translation, the old man got really excited and was thrilled at the idea of sending a message to the moon with the astronauts. The NASA folks produced a tape recorder and the old man recorded his message at which the grandson fought back the urge to laugh... but he refused to translate. After Apollo 11 had successfully landed on the moon and brought its astronauts homes, a new group were training in the desert when one of the NASA officials recognized the Navajo elder and his grandson and went to tell them that the old man's message was indeed on the moon which was met with laughter. Finally, the NASA rep caught on that not everything was as simple as he had originally thought and asked for a translation. With a chuckle the youngster replied: "Beware of white man; they come to steal your land!"
  6. Expound on your thinking Barry or do you only think what your pundits think ? It's why I think this is both a cash cow for Ukraine and Russia combined, and with Zelensky pulling Biden's strings to protect Hunter, who is doing the bidding ? Zelensky wants to stay in power and rich when he was just a comedian at best. Even if Ukraine ousts Russia which I highly doubt, Zelensky and his minions will be laughing to the bank. Should Russia take over it won't change a thing.

  8. On a Texas Throwback Thursday ...Old stone Fort Nacodoshes, Texas c.1885 Nacogdoches held a pivotal role in the birth of Texas liberty. Back in 1832, the folks of Nacogdoches ignited one of the early sparks of the Texas Revolution. In a united front of Mexican and Anglo residents, they launched an offensive against the Mexican garrison, commanded by Col. Jose Piedras and securely situated at the heart of the fortified town. The regiment managed to hold its ground until Adolphus Sterne enlightened the newly arrived Redlanders from San Augustine about an ingenious tactic. They outmaneuvered the Mexicans by encircling the natural fortress, utilizing the Washington Square area as their path. This battle marked the expulsion of Mexican forces from East Texas and significantly diminished the threat posed by the independence movement. In November of 1835, under Adolphus Sterne's leadership, the Nacogdoches citizens rallied to support a volunteer unit, the New Orleans Greys, who were gearing up for the Texas War for Independence. One contingent of the Greys embarked on an overland journey to San Antonio, passing through Nacogdoches in November 1835. Between 50 to 100 men set up camp near Sterne's residence for a few days. A grand "Feast of Liberty" honored their dedication in the orchard before Sterne's house. The banquet featured a delectable array of bear, beef, mutton, turkeys, raccoons, and other culinary delights. With glasses filled with Rhine wine from Sterne's cellar, toasts were raised, and speeches delivered. The Greys entered Nacogdoches on foot but departed on horseback, armed with supplies generously provided by the townsfolk. They arrived in San Antonio just before the siege of Bexar from December 5th to 9th, 1835. Sadly, most of these courageous volunteers later met their fate in subsequent battles of the Texas Revolution, with many perishing at the Alamo. Nacogdoches witnessed the rise and fall of three independent republics before the emergence of the Lone Star Republic. The city proudly flies nine flags as a testament to its diverse history: Spanish, French, Mexican, The Magee-Gutierrez Republic, The Long Republic, The Fredonia Republic, The Lone Star, The Confederate, and The United States. The first operational oil well in the state was drilled here in 1861. However, it wasn't the oil industry but the railroad's arrival that truly transformed this once-republican city into a thriving commercial hub. The introduction of the railroad, along with modern highways like 59 and 259, reshaped trade flow from an east-west orientation to a north-south axis. During the 19th century, the local economy revolved around cotton, tobacco, timber, education, and general merchandise. Only the last three continued to thrive into the latter half of the 20th century. Credit: History Unleashed.

Stunning isn't it...not a word about sleepy Joe falling asleep in a meeting with world leaders and not being able to answer a question that is not answered for him on a cue card and instead proclaim this is the "news"! So sad that some actually are duped by these foolish "reporters" into believing what they say...truly sheep being led to slaughter.

  18. History being made and Trump sleeps right through it! Old guys need nappies! https://www.yahoo.com/news/dems-roast-trump-appearing-sleep-202802746.html Dems roast Trump for appearing to sleep in court Alex Gangitano Mon, April 15, 2024 at 3:28 PM CDT2 min read Dems roast Trump for appearing to sleep in court Democratic strategists are roasting former President Trump on Monday for appearing to fall asleep in a New York courtroom during the first day of his hush money trial. Trump at times during the day closed his eyes, appearing to nod off. He also would lean back in his chair motionless with his arms crossed for considerable periods, but opinions differed among the press corps about whether the former president was actually asleep. Maggie Haberman, senior political correspondent at The New York Times, reported that Trump looked like he was sleeping and later told CNN, “He appeared to be asleep. Routinely his head would fall down.” She added that Trump didn’t pay attention to a note his lawyer passed him and that his “jaw kept falling on his chest and his mouth kept going slack.” Photographers were only allowed in during the trial’s opening moments and do not appear to have captured the moments Haberman described. Kate Bedingfield, former communications director to President Biden, wrote in response to the reporting, “Sleepy Don.” Dan Pfeiffer, former senior adviser to President Obama, shared Haberman’s initial reporting and added, “If Trump is too old and weak to stay awake at his own criminal trial, what do you think will happen in the Situation Room?” Obama’s 2012 campaign manager Jim Messina shared Haberman’s CNN interview and highlighted her comment: “Well, Jake, he appeared to be asleep.” Democratic strategist Chris Jackson shared a photograph of Trump and said, “So sad.” Others on X argued that if Biden appeared to sleep during a similar moment, it would be a major story. Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of the progressive group Indivisible, posted on the social platform X, “you know what this means: it’s time for another round of stories about Biden’s age.” Additionally, journalist Jemele Hill argued in a post, “Now had this been Biden, it would have been the lead story on every newscast and Fox News would have talked about this for weeks.” Meanwhile, former Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele joked, “When you’re old and on trial for falsifying official records you tire quickly. Let the man sleep but watch for that slack jaw, drooling could become a problem.” Trump is in court for his first criminal trial in a matter involving a hush money payment made to adult film actor Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. The trial began Monday with the jury selection process, which is expected to last at least several days before opening arguments begin and star witnesses take to the stand.
