Congress authorizes Yorktown Victory Monument
On This Day in History, October 29, 1781, the Continental Congress authorizes the Yorktown Victory Monument at York, Virginia, to remember the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the British army, news of which had just reached the Congress in Philadelphia. The monument was not even begun for 100 years and was started during the centennial celebration of the victory in 1881.
Congress’ original resolution to erect the monument reads as follows: “That the United States in Congress assembled, will cause to be erected at York, in Virginia, a marble column, adorned with emblems of the alliance between the United States and his Most Christian Majesty; and inscribed with a succinct narrative of the surrender of Earl Cornwallis to his excellency General Washington, Commander in Chief of the combined forces of America and France; to his excellency the Count de Rochambeau, commanding the auxiliary troops of his most Christian Majesty in America, and his excellency the Count de Grasse, commanding in chief the naval army of France in the Chesapeake.”
Notice the emphasis on French involvement during the war. If it hadn’t been for French cooperation, the war likely would have been lost, a fact not known by many Americans. The Yorktown Victory Monument was finished in 1884. The main pillar is 84 feet tall and the statue of the Lady Victory is 14 feet on top of that. The statue was replaced in 1956 after the original was damaged by lightning. Today the monument can be found on the southeast end of Main Street in Yorktown, Virginia.
Each of the four sides of the base of the monument contain an inscription:
Side 1:
At York on Oct 19 1781 after a siege of nineteen days by 5500 American & 7000 French troops of the line 3500 Virginia Militia under command of Gen Thomas Nelson & 33 French ships of war Earl Cornwallis commander of the British forces at York & Gloucester surrendered his army 1751 officers and men 840 seamen 244 cannon and 24 standards to His Excellency George Washington Commander in Chief of the combined forces of America and France to his Excellency the Comte de Rochambeau commanding the auxiliary troops of His Most Christian Majesty in America and to His Excellency The Comte de Grasse Commanding Chief The Naval Army of France in Chesapeake
Side 2:
The provisional Articles of Peace concluded Nov 30, 1782 & the definitive treaty of peace concluded Sept 3 1783 between the U.S.A. and George III King of Great Britain & Ireland declare His Britannic Majesty acknowledges the said U.S. viz New Hampshire Massachusetts Bay Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Connecticut New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Delaware Maryland Virginia North Carolina South Carolina and Georgia to be free sovereign and independent states
Side 3:
The treaty concluded Feb 6 1778 between the U.S.A. and Louis XVI King of France declares the essential & direct end of the present defensive alliance is to maintain effectually the liberty & sovereignty & independence absolute & unlimited of the said U.S. as well in matters of government and of commerce
Side 4:
Erected in pursuance of a resolution of Congress adopted Oct 29 1781 & an act of congress approved June 7 1880 to commemorate the victory by which the independence of the U.S.A. was achieved

From posting; “Fortunately for America, the Constitution provided a remedy in that slates of electors submitted to the Congress may be returned to the states for further consideration.”
Yes it does and I READ that part and EXACTLY what had to be done for it to go forward in that manner. What I WATCHED in the process is that it WAS NOT followed through with on how it was written and needed to be done. They DID NOT GET THE SIGNATURES they needed from those state Senators etc. in order to follow through with this process.
That is why I thought Pence did the only thing he could do and go ahead with the certification.
I recall posting ALL that info. at the time. I think OUR ONLY recourse NOW is to SUE ALL THOSE involved in the STEAL THE ELECTION. But as far as REMOVING BIDEN because of that before his time is up I don’t think will ever happen. I belive IF He is EVER GONE it will be because of his MENTAL CONDITION or DEATH.
He can’t dance, rocks back and forth.
But, I love it.
...
CHYNA!
I don’t know much about this “stuff”, but I watched Lara Logan doing a show on Loy Brunson....isn’t he trying to get the election overturned because all of those who proceeded when there were questions of integrity were guilty of not doing their jobs....sending the results back to the states?
I doubt anything will be overturned at this point, as great as that would be. President Trump seems pretty certain he has to get elected again as well.
A friend, to RPOTUS, indeed....apologies, if already posted....

Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson endorsed former President Trump in a speech in Iowa on Sunday.
Ahead of Trump's scheduled address, Carson introduced the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate as “my friend and your friend, and a friend of America.”
“As I stand here today, I want to offer my most confident and full endorsement of Donald J. Trump,” said Carson, who ran for president in 2016 and then served in Trump's administration.
“Donald Trump believes in our freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms,” he added. “So we can fix our country, and we can make America great again. And President Donald J. Trump is the person to do that.”
Carson quoted Benjamin Franklin, who said America is a republic if you can keep it, and he said, “The way we can keep it is we can put Donald J. Trump back in office.”

I called Bill Barr Dumb, Weak, Slow Moving, Lethargic, Gutless, and Lazy, a RINO WHO COULDN’T DO THE JOB. He just didn’t want to be Impeached, which the Radical Left Lunatics were preparing to do. I was tough on him in the White House, for good reason, so now this Moron says about me, to get even, “his verbal skills are limited.” Well, that’s one I haven’t heard before. Tell that to the biggest political crowds in the history of politics, by far. Bill Barr is a LOSER!

Lol well, that doesn’t happen often, CB.
I don’t normally get breakfast brought over lol.
Usually they’re pilfering through my cupboards and fridge looking for “something good” because mom doesn’t have anything good at their house lol. I made a nice banana nut loaf the other day and managed to get one slice of it. I made a pineapple walnut loaf today, so I’ll see how that goes lol.
Lol I wonder if Barr still thinks Trump’s verbal skills are limited. Seems he found plenty of colorful verbiage for that tweet!

Hear, hear :-)
Don’t forget Bill Barr’s dad, and, his Epstein connection. 🤔
I didn’t know Barr’s father had an Epstein connection.
Boy, that list sure needs to come out, unless it’s been completely destroyed already.
From 2020:

That it was Bill Barr’s father who hired a very young, very unqualified Jeffrey Epstein to teach at one of the most elite private schools in New York City, is the part of the story that has always given me double-take whiplash. Of course it could all be a wacky coincidence.
