What about what you said? -- Loved the graphic! ...Now that's 'art'...!!!
Because, Lady, it can't happen in America, or so "they" think. Too, comfortable in their lives to care about what is happening about them.
History does repeat itself. Rome fell, so will America some day. Life as we know it will never be the same. Guess that is why I hang on to the past so strongly. It's a known thing. the future is the future and cannot be seen by those with blind folds on their eyes.
In 1848, the war between the United States and Mexico
formally ended with the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo. It provided for Mexico's cession to the U.S. of the
territory that became the states of New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming
in exchange for $15 million.
In 1876, the National Baseball League was formed, with teams
in Boston; Chicago; Cincinnati; New York; Philadelphia; St.
Louis; Louisville, Ky.; and Hartford, Conn.
In 1933, two days after becoming chancellor of Germany,
Adolf Hitler ordered dissolution of the German Parliament.
In 1936, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, Christy Mathewson
and Walter Johnson were the first inductees into the Baseball
Hall of Fame.
In 1990, South African President F.W. de Klerk announced he
would free Nelson Mandela and lift a 30-year ban on the
African National Congress. Mandela was released nine days
later.
In 1991, allied forces in the Persian Gulf War declared they
were in control in the air and at sea.
In 1992, one day after agreeing to withdraw its troops from
Lithuania, Russia reached a similar agreement with Latvia and
opened talks with Estonia.
In 1993, more than 7,500 UMW miners went on strike against
the Peabody Coal Co., the nation's largest coal producer.
Also in 1993, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton banned
smoking in the White House. ??????? (Well, that sure explains the unlite cigar between he and Monica.) Added by Soaring Feather..........
In 1998, President Bill Clinton submitted the first
balanced federal budget in 29 years.
In 2002, a report requested by the board of directors of
the troubled Enron Corporation accused top executives of
forcing the company into bankruptcy by, among other things,
inflating profits by almost $1 billion.
In 2003, Vaclav Havel, the playwright who became a president,
stepped down after his second five-year term as head of the
Czech Republic.
In 2004, the Bush administration said a bipartisan
commission would investigate why pre-war intelligence
reports that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction
apparently had been wrong.
Also in 2004, President George W. Bush asked Congress for
$2.4 trillion to fund government programs for fiscal year
2005.
In 2005, Pope John Paul II was well enough to say mass
with his private secretary in Rome, one day after the
84-year-old pontiff was hospitalized with a breathing
problem and the flu.
Also in 2005, in a wide-ranging State of the Union
address, President Bush said that U.S. troops would
remain in Iraq until Iraqis can provide their own
security.

Johnn,
Grassfire has just learned that Fox TV's "America's Most Wanted"
will run a story featuring Agents Ramos and Compean, this
Saturday, February 2. These are the two Border Patrol Agents now
in prison for doing their job, and trying to arrest a drug runner bringing
nearly a million dollars in pot into the US. The 'Justice' (?) department
gave the illegal amnesty for his crimes to testify against the Agents.
According to the National Border Patrol Council, the
Department of Justice has twice asked that the show
not be aired!
Johnn, Grassfire is urging ALL members of our immigration
and border agents team to check your local listings, and
make a point to watch Fox television’s America’s Most Wanted
this Saturday, February 2.
Contact your friends and family and urge them to watch as well.
Thanks for standing with Grassfire!

Folks this is both a travesty of justice, and a sign Washington
isn't fit to make, or enforce our laws!
That's so sweet! Off to the Anthology with it!
*HUGS*
