Ah rats! I put the URL in the title by accident. Here is the correct title:
Proclamation on Irish-American Heritage Month, 2020
Actually, he was a passenger....and a fat one at that. George Washington reportedly told him, "Shift that fat ass, Harry, but slowly, or you'll swamp the damned boat.!!!"
Knox WAS a brilliant artilleryman, and the feats of movement are reknowned today.
Wow.
This mick thanks you, Mr President. And I’ll say an extra prayer for you at mass tonight.
The Irish immigrants and their descendants love this country and have contributed immensely to her foundation.
We are proud of our heritage, and admit our faults. We welcome all to share in that pride while proclaiming the greatness of the USA.
Very few pure Irish in the US, except people fresh off the boat.
I’m an American. My ancestors helped create this great country having come over seeking opportunity. I’ve got their names on the 1910 census stating when they got here, when they applied for citizenship, what language they speak.
They helped build this country. Not for Ireland, but for the US. They helped build NYC after steel was discovered. My great grandfather created and placed the ornamental plastering at Radio City Music Hall.
The Irish immigrant women collected the funds to build st Patrick’s cathedral.
They made sure their kids were educated and were loyal to their adoptive US.
Generally speaking.
“Why do we continue to have hyphenated Americans?”
Because a certain demographic has had it’s butt willingly kissed for votes, by D’rats. And so they think they’re all that.
POTUS is adding to the ___________-American adulation mix with this action. I love it!
What will April be? May? June? Soon...who cares? It’s annoying. Just stop it.
There’s the goal.
“How the Scots-Irish Came to America (And What They Brought With Them)
S
In the summer of 1718, five ships of Scots-Irish immigrants from Ulster arrived in Boston to an uncertain welcome. The Puritan leaders sympathized with their fellow Protestants who also endured Anglican intolerance. But the newcomers came from an impoverished land, and many Puritans questioned whether they could support themselves......snip”
“Darby O’Gill and the Little People”, a good movie, not the least because it had a very young Sean Connery as romantic lead.
That movie caught the eye of Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. They thought that Connery guy might be their James Bond.
Scarlett O’Hara’s Pappy was from Erin.
Got rich and named the estate in America “Tara”.
Groovy.
Yay!! I’m 50% Irish and I approve this message!
Long live the Pogues!
And
Irish Americans have played a critical role in our Nation’s history and have made significant contributions to our military, government, and economy...
"The Revolution Happens Here." at "The Hub"
wiki: "The Charitable Irish Society of Boston organized the first observance of Saint Patrick's Day in the Thirteen Colonies in 1737."
hub:
Meaning "center of interest or activity or importance" first recorded 1858 in writings of Oliver W. Holmes Sr.["האב"], and originally especially of Boston.
Boston State-House is the hub of the solar system. [Holmes, "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table"]
***
According to popular legend and some sources, the stone is the geographic center of Boston, as it was used in colonial times by surveyors as the zero point for outlying milestones showing the distance to Boston, analogous to the London Stone,[1][5] but this is almost certainly not true[2] – there are no contemporary records indicating this, the 1767 Milestones stretching from Boston to Springfield, Massachusetts are not based on the Boston Stone, and the Old State House would have been a more likely center point for measuring distances to the city.[2] 19th-century advertising for the Marshall House inn describes the original inscribing of the Boston Stone's plinth, and perhaps its attribution as Boston's zero milestone, as an early 19th-century advertising ploy.

It's the same with the Megillah. All those seemingly random details turned out to have been an highly orchestrated plot that only looked like a jumble of disconnected data points along with the infuriating presence of one Mordecai the Jew who just sat there in the midst of all the activity.
It all turned to the contrary for the killjoys.
The Megillah is all about the revealing of the hidden - the "Big Dig" so to speak. [המגילה] = 93
wiki: "the Big Dig was a megaproject in Boston that rerouted the Central Artery of Interstate 93 (I-93), the chief highway through the heart of the city...
May those who love us, love us.
And for those who don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if he can not turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles,
So we may know them by their limping.
Me Pap would be so glad to see this!
We've been here since way back to who knows when. Before America. Fought for America every time she needed. Have some Irish sprinkled in there so what's the problem.
