De La Balme’s Defeat
On this day in history, November 5, 1780, a Revolutionary War battle known as De la Balme’s Defeat or De la Balme’s Massacre takes place when retired French cavalry officer Augustin de la Balme is killed near present day Fort Wayne, Indiana in a battle with Miami Indians. The officer had been appointed in 1777 as the Continental Army’s Inspector of Cavalry, but resigned this position due to his dislike for Polish General Casimir Pulaski, the Commander of the United States Cavalry.
In 1780 De la Balme left on a voyage down the Ohio River on a mission to capture the British Fort Detroit. Historians are uncertain whether he undertook this mission on his own or if he was acting on secret orders from General George Washington. De la Balme gathered Canadian colonists who had been living under British rule along the way in Kaskaskia, Cahokia, and Vincennes (in what is now Indiana).
De la Balme’s men moved north toward Fort Detroit and when they arrived in Kekionga (modern day Fort Wayne, Indiana), they found an unoccupied British and Indian trading post, the British and their Miami Indian allies having left the post, apparently on a hunting mission. De la Balme occupied the post and began to raid other British posts in the area. On the 5th, De la Balme set out for a post along the Eel River.
In the meantime, a group of Miami hunters returned to Kekionga, killed the 20 men De la Balme had left there and spread the word among the local Indians. Chief Little Turtle, who lived on the Eel River nearby, attacked De la Balme’s party before he could reach the trading post. de la Balme’s men entrenched themselves along the river, but were eventually overcome. De la Balme and most of his men were killed, with only a few escaping to tell the tale.
Chief Little Turtle would go on to become a successful war chief against the Americans in the Northwest Indian Wars of the 1790s and, in spite of De la Balme’s failure, the British would post a group of Rangers at Kekionga to protect it from further attack. Fort Detroit would remain in British possession until the signing of the Jay Treaty in 1794.

Wow - I’ve heard that hip replacement is a piece of cake compared to knee, but that’s pretty darned fast!
"It’s a trap! was a quote said by Admiral Ackbar upon arriving at the second Death Star, only to find multiple star destroyers, the planetary shield still up, and the Death Star fully operational. It is also a reaction image used to signify that someone has been tricked or trapped in some way, similar to It's a trick. Send no reply."

Oh that’s nice that you’ve got warm weather....I miss it already! Hmmm, I’m curious to see how mama makes the adjustment from night security to “what babies?” My money is on her wanting to be back out with the kids....let us know lol.
Well, General Flynn, Posobiec, and a few others have warned about wasting time listening to the hucksters and coming up with all kinds of ridiculous theories....connecting things and assigning some kind of meaning.
It’s cold up our way now.....but the sun was shining today so I took my little knitting stand outside and painted it off-white to go with my bedroom. Well, I started painting, but, thankfully, my grandson ran over and did the job for me. He loves painting, and shoveling snow, and eating. lol I can’t wait until spring lol.....I think it’s going to be a long winter!

If and when Kim Reynolds of Iowa endorses Ron DeSanctimonious, who is absolutely dying in the polls both in Iowa and Nationwide, it will be the end of her political career in that MAGA would never support her again, just as MAGA will never support DeSanctimonious again. Two extremely disloyal people getting together is, however, a very beautiful thing to watch. They can now remain loyal to each other because nobody else wants them!!!

That’s because people don’t like disloyalty! I opened the position for Reynolds, so she became Governor of Iowa, by moving Terry Branstad to China as Ambassador. I then helped her when she was substantially down and losing to the Democrat Candidate, and worked hard to get her Elected, including an Endorsement and Big TRUMP Rallies. Very importantly, I was the sole reason that Iowa remained FIRST IN THE NATION. I was Strong on Ethanol, DeSantis voted against it, and other things bad for Iowa, like wanting to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Despite all of this, Reynolds remained Neutral on Endorsements, and she is now America’s most Unpopular Governor, and Ron DeSanctimonious is Second. That’s what happens when you are disloyal to those that got you there!

Sloppy Chris & “Aida” got booed off the stage yesterday at the big, and very successful, Republican Party event in Florida. I didn’t even know that Aida was still in the race. He’s polling at ZERO, and Sloppy is not much better, at 2%. Why are they, and others, wasting time and money, and hurting the Republican Party. The enemy is Crooked Joe Biden, not me!

REPORTER: “[Trump] has said that if he is reelected, he could end this war in 24 hours...”
ZELENSKYY: “If he can come here, I will need 24 minutes — yes, 24 minutes — not more. 24 minutes to explain [to] President Trump that he can’t manage this war. He can’t bring peace because of Putin.”
