Today is December 7. A day of historical significance for the United States. Eighty four years ago on December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the United States. Devastated Pearl Harbor and other parts of Hawaii. Within days attacked and conquered many Pacific islands.

The United States was at war. Big time! Unexpectedly!

Washington was concerned Japan might attack. So the surprise attack was not much of a surprise in Washington. However to the rest of the country, to the American people, to the guy on the street, to the you and me, it was a surprise.

I was 6 years old at the time. Old enough to recall the events of the day. Everyone went crazy in a fashion. People seeking friends with radios to get the news moment by the moment. Not everyone had a radio back then. My parents did. The living rom was packed.

Though only 6, I was old enough to know a calamity had occurred. The next day, most of men went to sign up for the service. Even my 27 year old father. He was turned down because he was deaf in one ear. As a child, an incompetent doctor had pierced one of his eardrums.

Everyone was concerned. All men wanted to enter the fight.

The war was our life for the next four years. My youth did not prevent me from understanding what was going on.

I write this brief history because there is little reported in the media today about that day in 1941. Not a time to forget. Most nations are capable of initiating a war with the United States. One which this time would commence with an attack directly on U.S. people and soil. Our country itself would be Pearl Harbor.

My point a simple one. We all know the danger we are in. Trump has placed us in that danger. The peace monger is really a war monger. He knows not what he does. Friends have become enemies. Everyone appears to want to take a shot at us.

Such being the case, why has the media failed today to provide a rerun of December 7, 1941. The people of our nation should be reminded, recall and discuss that day to provide a necessary sense of what could be today. Discussion and concern would help us prepare for what many believe may be an inevitable war on our shores.

I repeat that which I have written in recent days That which I have discussed with friends. I believe our next President should be Mark Kelly. A 25 year Navy veteran, an astronaut and a U.S. Senator. Trump is the last business man I may want as President for a long time.

Enjoy your day!

Mark Kelly for President!

Enjoy your day!

Today a short blog. Tomorrow no blog.

Doctoring again. Will it ever end?

No big deal tomorrow. A cancer growth on my left ankle is being removed.

One topic I wish to address today. Trump and Hegseth and the Venezuelans killed. Trump will end up blaming Admiral Bradley or Hegseth. Hegseth will blame the Admiral.

Both whores. Trump and Hegseth.

Mark Kelly being blamed for things arising directly, indirectly or not at all out of the situation.

Kelly a 25 year Navy veteran. An astronaut. A U.S. Senator. Husband to a woman who was shot in the head while running for Congress. She came close to dying. Spent 6 months in the hospital.

Kelly my man for President on the Democratic ticket. I am sick of businessmen running. I want someone who has supported the U.S. for most or all of their life. Mark Kelly is that type. MY CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT!

Enjoy your day!

Today, some short tidbits.

Christopher Columbus did not discover America. I lie not.

America was first discovered by Leif Erikson in 1021, nearly 500 years before Columbus’ 1492 journey.

The two expeditions did have one thing in common, however. Erickson was probably not looking for America either. Love this observation!

High rising cryptocurrencies suddenly moving in a different direction. Downward! Major selloff occurring.

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks sat in a white person’s seat in the front of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Thereafter, she and Martin Luther King Jr. attacked the Alabama bus segregation laws.

Big day for American industry: December 1, 1913. Henry Ford’s first assembly line in U.S. installed to mass produce automobiles.

What did oranges used to look like? They weren’t always orange.

Oranges originated some 8 million years ago in the southeast foothills of the Himalayas. Nothing like the oranges we know today. They were smaller, bitter and came in a variety of shapes and colors.

The oranges we eat today are descendants of citrons, pomelos and mandarins. Seventy percent of the oranges we know today are a cultivated hybrid of the ancient pomelo.

Pennies in the news recently.  U.S. law has prohibited making them. Too expensive.

The Statue of Liberty’s exterior is copper. It is estimated 435 million pennies could be made from Liberty’s exterior.

Egyptians were the first “brilliant” peoples. Created many things: Tooth paste, scissors, prosthetic appendages , the solar calendar, marshmallows, and built pyramids without sophisticated tools.

The first Super Bowl halftime performers were marching bands. Generally college ones. Till 1967 when trumpeter Al Hirt blew his horn. He returned for several years.

Surprise! Super Bowl halftime show headliners do not get paid. Odd, since some shows cost as much as $13 million to produce. The stars and their staffs do receive minimum compensation on a “union scale” which amounts to a few hundred dollars.

The U.S.’ most sinful city: Las Vegas, Nevada. The U.S.’ least sinful city: Columbia, Maryland.

Japan has discovered a “human washing machine.” Just like washing clothes. Naked body lies inside and is washed via machinery. A Japanese company is presently manufacturing it.

James Baldwin: “Not everyone that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Makes sense!

Dick Van Dyke is 99 years old!

Trump has become “bubble wrapped.” He fails to meet with the public as he previously did. His reputation is on a rapid downhill trend. His activities now limited to traveling abroad, golf at his private clubs and dining with wealthy friends, business leaders and major donors. He has “deserted” the people. He knows they are no longer “his.”

Did you notice? It was Thanksgiving Week and no turkey pardons and awkward speeches.

What is happening with Trump’s remodeling of the East White House ballroom? An estimated $3 million project. Questions are being asked.

Ellen DeGeneres and wife reportedly planning on a U.S. return. Dislike England’s cold weather and lack of friends. May return to California and friends.

There is truth in “ain’t no place like home!”

Dysfunctional families are common. Tiffany Trump skipped Thanksgiving Dinner with Donald after he made some adverse claims against her. Pissed her off. Ergo, she and her son Alexander spent the holiday with her mother/grandmother Marla Maples.

That’s the way it goes. More so these days in the U.S.

I close with the lying issue.

Children lie. A tendency. Not badly. An observation. My children never lied as much as Donald Trump. Not a good sign for Donald!

Enjoy your day!
