The Oceangate
Titan or rather its debris from compression has been found with the 5 people
aboard dead but at least their death to a pressure chamber failure would
probably come quickly and with little or no warning as opposed to a 96 hour
cold, dark suffocation as the oxygen was consumed. Biden at his fund raiser in
California claimed that Chairman XI was upset over our shooting down of his spy
balloon because he didn’t know where it
was will always upset dictators. Secretary of State Blinken’s trip to China
resulted mainly in his coming back empty handed in a goal of defusing tensions
and worse by aping a former Secretary of State Dean Acheson’s National Press Club Speech on January 12, 1950 that
South Korea was not in our defensive sphere of influence by claiming the United
States does not support independence for Taiwan (North Korea invaded South
Korea 6 months later after Stalin reviewing the speech assumed the U.S. would
not intervene gave North Korea the green light to invade). Graduating law
student Fatima Mousa Mohammed who gave the CUNY Law commencement
speech which critics have called “evil,” “anti-American,” “anti-Semitic,” and a
“blatant call for insurrection” has pushed back on her speech claiming she
would change not one word and complaining that the uproar over her speech is
interfering with her studying to take the New York Bar Exam (Given the growing
outrage over her remarks that she not be admitted to the bar due to her fitness
to become a lawyer due to her calls for revolutionary action she may find
herself not admitted to the New York Bar Exam room to take the exam). The Blues
have kicked off a Senate Hearing on Protecting Pride: Defending the Civil
Rights of LGBTQ+ Americans at which Kelly Robinson, first black queer president
of the Human Rights Campaign, responding to Senator Kennedy, said she could not
“definitively” say males have an advantage over women in sports (totally
ignorant of biology and the example of 50 year old male ranked 203rd
tennis player Karsten Braasch who beat both Venus and Serena Williams back to
back in an exhibition at the 1998 Australian Open after the sisters claimed
they could beat any male tennis player ranked 200 or worse). The Biden
Administration is moving full speed ahead to destroy women’s sports by adopting
new regulations in essence determining sex based on identity.

Noted Holidays: National Onion Ring Day: Legend has it that Louis
XI in 1469 asked for a new snack and when his cook brought him onion rings he
liked them not and had the poor man executed but the onion rings survived to
appear in an 1802 cookbook that on one of its pages had onion rings in batter
deep fried in lard. The Pig Stand restaurant in Texas in the 20’s lays claim to
the first eating place selling onion rings but popularity of the snack did not
take off until A&W Root beer started selling them in the 60’s. The creator
and date of this National Day is unknown but a safe bet might be Crisco which
published the first recipe for onion rings in 1933.
Word of the Day: the word
of the day is “apricate” which means to bask in the Sun which is a great
was to spend the afternoon at the pool or beach properly lathered up with
sunscreen.

Historical Events In Rhyme
1. On this day in 1990 Checkpoint Charlie
at the entrance to the American sector of the Berlin Wall/Was no longer needed
and so dismantled with the Wall’s Fall.
2. On
this day in 1969 the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire/Americans seeing
images of fire on water quickly tired/It became the photo opt/That toxic and
flammable liquids into our rivers we had to stop/Led to the passage of the Clean
Water Act/And creation of the EPA whose perceived damage to the environment
attacked.
3. On this day in 1941, oblivious to the fate
of Napoleon who occupied a Moscow in flames/Invaded the Soviet Union to
Communism mortally tame/The Germans at first rolled through the Russia like a combine
harvesting wheat/Until rejection of Ukraine open arms, Rasputitsa, and the
Russian winter rose up to defeat/The Nazis had
bit off more than they could chew/But it took over three years to insure the
days of the Blitzkrieg were through.
4.
On this day in 1940 to rub salt in the wounds of the French for the Fall
of France/As German forces across all of France in a mostly unchecked advance/The
French were forced to sign an Armistice in the same railroad car that Germany
had signed at Compiègne to
end World War I/After a mere 6 weeks the Battle of France was done. .
5. On this day in 1893 the British Navy’s
claim to be the master of the seas became the source of jest/the battleship HMS
Camperdown failed the seamanship test/Rammed the flagship of the
Mediterranean Fleet HMS Victoria causing her to sink/drowning 358
crewman who were not pulled from the drink/Including the admiral of the
fleet/who never again in battle would the enemy meet
Famous Quotes on Checkpoint
Charlie:
Iain MacGregor, Checkpoint Charlie: The Cold War, the
Berlin Wall and the Most Dangerous Place on Earth:
“ For a US military
posting to a hot spot such as West Berlin, one had to have a record of good
conduct and exceptional service. Tom had impressed his superiors with his
eagerness to take more language courses, but a transfer to Berlin came with
good and bad news. “The US Army cannot, and will not, try to rescue any unit,
or anyone else,” said his lieutenant, “if war breaks out in Berlin. Two things
can happen to you if the Russians decide to take Berlin. Neither one of them is
good.”
