I didn't know that

I'm not sure how I lived to be 70 without knowing this, but the future fifth president of the United States joined the future first president in the critical attack on the Hessians in Trenton, New Jersey on December 26, 1776: "Monroe Crossing the Delaware". Monroe was seriously wounded, and almost died.


Merry Christmas!

 



Best wishes to Paco Nation for a happy Christmas, and a healthy, prosperous New Year!

Working-with-your-hands Wednesday

This is a little different from my usual offerings, in that we don't actually see people making or restoring anything; it's just the finished product. But the materials, the workmanship - the craftsmanship - employed in building this house are simply astonishing.

She should have pretended to be a Pakistani

"UK police arrest Greta Thunberg under Terrorism Act".

British police have arrested climate activist Greta Thunberg during a pro-Palestinian protest in central London. The detention, under terrorism legislation, was linked to a placard referencing a banned group.

I'm astonished that British police could find the time to arrest her, given their heavy load of cases involving mean Tweets. I strongly doubt that she'll be given the Tommy Robinson treatment.

The NYT - kicking and screaming, no doubt - makes an admission about Trump and Epstein

And now, a word from our sponsor
