Keep it up. And fact check.

Unbelievable.
I don't get it.
OK, JR, did the MoFo sign it did he not?
I think he did not and this was just another in a long line of “stir ‘em up” BS this street hustler is renowned for. Rope-a-Dope POTUS.
Because single females are inherently vain and narcissistic but have the power to vote.
He probably also wonders how many zeroes are in a Brazilian.
Except that he wouldn't say it in Froggish ... Arabic, maybe ...
Pretty much a telecommunications device invented by germans during WWII that keeps real learning and life experiences from happening.
If you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, you aren't missing anything.
You can get much better on Youtube here. My grandkids know they will walk away from this TV void having learned some kinda damn thing.

lol
I have a son that was in his senior year of High School, when we were watching the movie Apollo 13. He asked me why the U. S. didnt continue on and go to the moon anyway, after that little event. I then knew we were going to have to review some real history before he got out into the World.
It’s not the teachers as much as it is students that don’t care, and textbooks that have full chapters on Rosa Parks, and one paragraph on Thomas Jefferson.
Do your own fact checking on the White House web site. I'm a friggin cook, remember?

So do it.
Shockingly there was not, but I am not certain as to why this is.
Well wait, maybe I am. Obama is a liar.
The government doesn't operate on verbal orders.

Because enough old men like me are not ripping the bark off the kids in schools. The teachers I had had a way of teaching that you never forgot shite.
It's next to Outer Slobovia, just north of Lower Craplachistan.
Although I agree with your sentiments, I'd have to say when I grew up in the 1960s I watched a lot of movies on TV that gave a reasonable thumbnail sketch of history. And actually gave me an interest to read more about the details.
Nowadays, though, you have too much fantasy and anti-American trash floating on the airways (I grant you the pre 1970 movies tended to paint an overly rosy picture of America's history) that provide nothing of value.
And I think the most insidious introduction has been the Music-Video genre. Something about the combination of music and videos blasting at the eyes and ears kind of euthanizes the brain.
So I agree - Television will easily turn people's brains to mush, but I have to admit that I got some use out of the shows I watched while growing up and even used some of them to frame responses to AP History questions (that, and the Classic Comics were a big help...).
Of course, sometimes that does help, but mainly, I get my grandkids (and the other kids) to remember stuff without going all SSgt on them. They take their shoes off on the furniture because I can go all SSgt on them.

texting is worse...IMO.
I've learned more about history outside of the classroom then when I was in school.
The classes, as I recall, were (with few exceptions) tedious and boring, They were taught by instructors who seemed just as uninterested as their students, in the subject matter,
I'm thankful that Rush Limbaugh has taken up the task of bringing our History to children, in ways that appeal to them.
We sorely need this if our nation is to survive.
