Wishing everyone a happy freedom from the stone age, tribal/genocidal warfare, human sacrifice ritual, starvation and cannibalism day!

In other words...Happy Columbus Day!

Dennis Prager had a good point in saying if they want an Indigenous People’s Day to celebrate then choose one but don’t arrogantly try to overthrow Columbus Day with it. Uncouth lying leftards.

Mayor Bill de Blasio put it on the list of a commission to review “offensive” memorials.

Used to be you'd vote in a guinea mayor to stop such nonsense.

Indigenous? No. First arrivers, sure, but not indigenous. At least according to all the human ancestry and migration patterns I’ve read and learned about over the years.

Columbus Circle is one of the prettiest sites in Manhattan - the gateway to Central Park and the gorgeous apartments of the Upper West Side. DeBlasio wouldn’t dare.

The Truth About Columbus

Christopher Columbus must have been the very first democrat.

When he left Spain, he didn't know where he was going. When he arrived in North America, he didn't know where he was. And when he got home, he didn't know where he had been. And he did it all on borrowed money.

The problem I have is the left , once again, is making it political.
I seriously doubt they realy care about the “indigenous people”
maybe their vote but the individual..i doubt it..as they dipise individualism.

Credit goes to the person who made it stick, which may not be the first but making it stick counts more than first.

Columbus Day is perpetually overlooked as an opportune time to discuss Islamic jihad through the centuries. Spain invested in Christopher Columbus who took enormous personal risk to find an alternate sailing route to the Indies. Why? To avoid the Islamic piracy which was bankrupting European merchants pursuing trade throughout the Mediterranean.

Columbus Day provides a golden opportunity to teach the centuries long history of battling Islamic hegemony.

It's no wonder the left is concentrating on delegitimizing Christopher Columbus' milestone achievements.

Columbus day? I’m having my own “F*ck Howard Zinn” day here. (Don’t get me started.)

“Back in the day” (when I was a kid in Pennsylvania in the ‘50s) we knew who all the I-Talians, Krauts, Yids, Hunkys, Pollacks, etc. were. They told you - they were damn proud of it! And they were proud of being Americans, too.

Cross cultural outreach? With us kids, hearts were won through our stomachs. “Manga, manga - you no eat; you looka funny” was serious business. [insert the German, Yiddish, Hungarian, and Polish equivalents here]

When you went to Bobby’s - or Jack’s, or Joe’s house - you ate, especially at Sunday dinner. All the special stuff was brought out: Panzanella, pasta carbonara, risotto, salsa caponata.

And if Nonna was there, the big guns came out: Homemade Cannoli, biscotti, pandoro. After that, you went home with a care package: “Mama, look at the boy; he’s so skinny!” I don’t think his parents feed him enough”.

The winning of the hearts and minds of the next generation was serious business.

Happy Columbus day, my dear brothers and sisters - from where ere ye came. May G0d bless America; may America bless G0d.

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release

President Donald J. Trump Proclaims October 9, 2017, as Columbus Day

COLUMBUS DAY, 2017

- - - - - - - 

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION


Five hundred and twenty-five years ago, Christopher Columbus completed an ambitious and daring voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas.  The voyage was a remarkable and then-unparalleled feat that helped launch the age of exploration and discovery.  The permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great Nation.  Therefore, on Columbus Day, we honor the skilled navigator and man of faith, whose courageous feat brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions -- even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.

More than five centuries after his initial voyage, we remember the "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" for building the critical first link in the strong and enduring bond between the United States and Europe.  While Isabella I and Ferdinand II of Spain sponsored his historic voyage, Columbus was a native of the City of Genoa, in present day Italy, and represents the rich history of important Italian American contributions to our great Nation.  There can be no doubt that American culture, business, and civic life would all be much less vibrant in the absence of the Italian American community.  We also take this opportunity to reaffirm our close ties to Columbus's country of birth, Italy.  Italy is a strong ally and a valued partner in promoting peace and promoting prosperity around the world.  

In commemoration of Christopher Columbus's historic voyage, the Congress, by joint resolution of April 30, 1934, and modified in 1968 (36 U.S.C. 107), as amended, has requested the President proclaim the second Monday of October of each year as "Columbus Day."

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 9, 2017, as Columbus Day.  I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.  I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of our diverse history and all who have contributed to shaping this Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.

DONALD J. TRUMP
