Washington did not sign the Declaration of Independence. He was defending New York in July of 1776. When bold action was needed in the fight for freedom, Washington delivered with the surprise crossing of the Delaware. In the darkest moments, the action we take for our freedom is what counts.

Testicles usually drop at around nine months of age. Mike Pence’s took 65 years.

I keep thinking of the Winston Churchill quote (as I remember it): “America(ns) can always be counted on to do the right thing, but only after exhausting all other options.” I sure hope we run out of those options soon…

Not a pilot or expert - It looks like the plane pitched right just before touchdown and never corrected. Right landing gear couldn’t handle the impact and collapsed? Or maybe the right wing tip hit - hard to tell from this angle. Scary stuff! Amazing all on board survived!

The winner for tonight. LOL!

The right will starve themselves (and their neighbors) to prevent someone they deem unfit from getting something they think they don’t deserve or didn’t earn. What a sad way to exist.
