Boy that’s tricky trivia!! Wasn’t the Swamp Fox a Revolutionary General? (Question only, not attempting the trivia).
Next stop South Carolina. All aboard.
Swamp Fox Marion, I do believe. Not certain he was general, but definitely a revolutionary war hero. Subject of the movie “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger.
Yes. He was like your very first hit and run specialist.

I am very happy that Mr. Trump exceeded the polling expectations. Looking forward to a great rally tonight. Tttt.
He died at age 63.

Thanks for the thread and the ping!!
Can I send my 1 year old irish setter over? He’d certainly liven up your day. Lol. Oh and he comes with his own package of bully sticks. They work like a pacifier!
Thank you SO MUCH for that ping to the Sundance article.

Got my own 18 month old Bully dog and two Border Collies. just let the two little girls out. After they decorated the living room from the trash bag ......again.
Pick up company is delivering a new large container today. Had a large bag ready to take down. Now its a large bag with a large hole. They had to examine each piece of trash just to make certain it REALLY was meant to be thrown out .
So much for sleeping in !
You are most welcome, Exit! I thought our Friends on this thread might find it interesting!
Perhaps a little off topic, but I think it might fit in with the thread (bear with me, it’s only 7 a.m. here in the Peoples Republic of Seattle).
Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is that Trump talks about the Republicans in Congress not doing what we want them to do and not going against Obama (the huge recent budget is an example) - granted that he also mentions that we know what the Dims would do and vote for.
While I agree with him and some of them definitely need to be removed, there are a few good congresscritters (Jeff Sessions is the 1st one that comes to mind for me), I’m a little apprehensive on our candidates pounding on the Pubbies in Congress too much as I don’t want the Dims to take over either the House or Senate in 2016/17. The Senate is going to be tough because we have a lot more up for reelection than the Dims. If (when) Trump is President, it would be much better if he had a total Pubbie congress - think he could work with them better and get them to do what he wants. Reid is leaving, which would make that slime Schumer (who never met a camera he didn’t like and would be very vocal) as the Senate Majority or Minority leader. As much as most of us dislike McConnell, I think he’d have a bit easier time working with him (even though I despise what he did with Cochran). Best scenario - Pubbies keep House and Senate and McConnell is replaced with Jeff Sessions (if he isn’t the VP pick) as Majority Leader. I’d prefer someone else to Ryan as Speaker, but I think if Trump is President and someone other than McConnell is Senate Leader, he may be workable (especially continued pressure by the conservatives in the House). Just my #.02
Go Trump!
Clemson did have a great team....
Yes they did but if he says anything specific, Bama fans will hate him and the SEC...just do the middle of the road and stick to what he knows yea college football and I can make jobs....
He does it in a cool way, as you and I would. He congratulates them for their great season, or if the basketball team won a close one, he’d comment.
He never seems to take sides.
I think the exception will be with the Yankees.
No, he’s the only one that ever mentions things like this. People know he’s hip.
I’m warming up the semi-automatic nuclear ZOT-rifle ...
you expecting trouble?
