I'm bound to the recliner, i had surgeey last week. Been watching all kinds of history.

I'm going with Teddy Roosevelt as #2. George Washington as #1.

What is your #1#2and #3? Just curious and bored.

Happy Independence Day, thanks.

God Bless

I can’t forgive Reagan for signing Simpson Mazzoli, which leads us to today’s invasion of illegal aliens

Sorry, I don’t understand the rather strong sentiment. Happy Fourth to you.

Hoover probably had the highest IQ of any president we had.

Audie was the greatest single American serviceman of WWII, but I’ve always been a strong admirer of the real life inspiration for Captain America, John Basilone. Sorry Chesty, JB is the greatest Marine.

Why only “most” favorite?

I have many favorites, but none are saints with no flaws at all. I like some for some reasons and others for other reasons but would not class anyone as head over heals above every other “favorite” of mine.
