Long before. Nobody was killed. My grand father had been in ww1 long before this and was farming in Missouri by 1924. Tom switch is I. The bottom of grand lake now.

So! My great-great grand father and his older brother killed native people in Colorado with the 7th. Colorado. They were so good at killing after the civil war, both with N.Y. Calv. unit that was all that was left for work. Finish life as warden and guards at Cannon City CO. prison. So!

My paternal grandfather, at one point was a bartender who the came home drunk every night. He later on owned a sand quarry, and later yet, a cigar factory. One of the main roads through our neck of the woods was poured concrete. He supplied most of the sand for many miles of that road.

And every one of us is related to Kevin Bacon within 6 removals, according to authorities on such things.

Harry S. Truman said that when he was starting out, he was torn between going into politics, or being the piano player in a whorehouse (his words).

He said that later on in life he came to realize that there’s very little difference between the two.

All the gold ain’t in them thar hills.

Like my uncle back in the '70s told my then 20-something year old cousin: You're sitting on a gold mine. He's laid off the booze in his later years. LOL

In sure there was plenty of that. The first restaurant was in a tent along the side of track. Menu consisted of coffee and horsemeat from the carcasses of dead pack horses that died along the way

The Cheyenne Social Club is one of my favorite movies, so this bit of news just makes me like Trump more.

I had a distant relative that was shot in the back in Deadwood S.D. And to this day if I eat out I always try to pick a chair with a wall behind it!

Someone told me yesterday that one of Trump’s casinos contains a strip club.

Looked it up when I got home, and sure enough, it’s true.

So, looks to to me that not much has changed in terms of the family business.

Heading out into the world at 16 and becoming a success - sounds like good stock.

“Obamas father was forced to leave the US.”

Bears repeating, especially because this is going to come up again.

IIRC he had been in this country for years on some sort of student/education visa. Even when he trysted with Obama’s mother and been all over the country. At some point, he tried to get the University to confirm his work/schooling and they came back with a no-recommend renewal IIRC or something like that.

Do I really need the sarcasm tag?
