Life. I haven’t been on a vacation since we moved here. But I’m pretty sure that’s not why.
“He’s like the energizer bunny, just keeps ripping them a new one, over and over. Gotta love the tenacity!”
He is! Things that would destroy other people just make him stronger. And the energy the man has! He has to be getting his strength from God, at his age and with what he is enduring, it’s almost superhuman.
So much power in humor.

News of the Victory at Saratoga reaches Paris
On this day in history, December 4, 1777, news of the victory at Saratoga reaches Paris, paving the way for French involvement in the American Revolution. Earlier in 1777, British General John Burgoyne had embarked on a strategy to split the American colonies in two by invading from Canada. The plan was to capture Lake Champlain, Lake George and nearby American forts, including Ticonderoga, Stanwix and Anne and to arrive at Albany, where he would meet up with General William Howe’s forces, who would move up the Hudson River Valley from New York City. British control of the Hudson Valley up through Lake Champlain would effectively cut off New England from the rest of the colonies.
The plan worked fine at first, the British forces and their Indian allies easily took Lake Champlain, Fort Crown Point and Fort Ticonderoga, but then, the American resistance began to mount effective resistance in various skirmishes at places such as Hubbardton, Bennington and Fort Stanwix. The American forces began to swell as Indians allied with the British began to attack civilian settlers and the fall of Ticonderoga stirred up American resolve.
General Burgoyne’s strategy began to be plagued by desertion from his Indian allies, news that General Howe would take his main force to Philadelphia instead of sending them to Albany; and the loss of 1,000 men at the Battle of Bennington. Meanwhile, the American troops swelled to nearly 15,000 men as militia and Continental troops arrived from all over New England. Burgoyne had only half this number.
Two main battles, which together are generally called the Battles of Saratoga, took place. One at Freeman’s Farm on September 19 and the second at Bemis Heights on October 7. Over 1,000 British soldiers were killed or captured in the battles, while the Americans lost only a third of this number. General Burgoyne was forced to draw back to Saratoga where his troops were quickly surrounded. On October 17, he surrendered his army of over 6,000 men.
While Americans celebrated and London scrambled to reassess its strategy, word of the victory arrived in Paris on December 4, 1777. Benjamin Franklin received the news from the Continental Congress and went immediately to the French government. France desperately wanted to enter the war against its archrival, Britain, but believed it should wait until the American colonists first proved they could resist or even defeat the British without outside assistance. The victory at Saratoga gave the world proof that the Americans had the tenacity and resolve to stand up to Great Britain and two days after the word arrived in Paris, King Louis XVI announced his intention to join the war on the side of the Americans. Over the next several years, France contributed large sums of money, troops, ships and supplies without which the Americans may never have won the war.

Glad you got your winnings this morn, in BACON! ;)
Thanks I did on my double shift Sunday!
VIP night was a good sales day for me.
The latest with the lil boy in face paint at a football game really ticks me off!
Glad his parents are speaking out on this!
Sorry liberal fake news jerks!

I just filed #HR103 to REMOVE EVERY DEMOCRAT COMMITTEE CHAIR in the Texas House of Representatives.
Texans stand with Israel, but the Texas Democrat Party recently issued a statement making it clear they side with Hamas. Democrats should never have been appointed Chairs of many of the most powerful committees in the GOP-dominated Texas House, where they advance socialism and kill Republican priorities, and I am proud to file a House Resolution to remove every Democrat Committee Chair who refuses to publicly denounce their party’s Hamas-favoring statement.
Thanks Rusty for the ping.
Good for Brian!
We need to clean the Texas House of these loser traitors!
I don’t know where I heard this, but it seems all of the fans were going to do the same face paint next game to support the boy. That would be hilarious to see.....red and black faces everywhere you look lol. This could become “a thing”.
I hope they do it!
Absolutely.
And I wouldn't care to do more about that deal than cheerlead for our fire-eyed grand daughters/Mommies.
The twins' Mommy has already walked herself and the girls out of two or three schools because she got bad vibes about the hint of woke/trans/lib policies and both she and the rest of The Mommies have practically guaranteed their various schools/school districts that ALL of their kids will be home-schooled five seconds after anything they see as disruptive even gets mentioned.
The ladies seem to have determined the first half of the "Fool Me Once..." meme has been satisfied and there ain't gonna be no "Fool Me Twice".
(Kipling had it right when he called females/mothers "The Deadliest of the Species"....)
They’re not just speaking out. They have retained lawyers.
Yes and stop these jerks spreading fake lies! You would think they would have learned their lesson from the Nick Sandmann lies or even Kyle Rittenhouse! It seems they’ll never stop ,but getting worse! Oh well gotta got to bed now. I had a root canal done this morning and need to get better for work in the morning! Take care All and see you later!
Yes and good for them! Thanks for your ping!

Donalds on Fox: I’m not tying anything to Ukraine. What we’re saying is if the administration wants to talk about supplemental funding for anything, the southern border must be secured first. Until that happens, the House is closed.

🚨 JUST IN: FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION FROM DESTROYING TEXAS BORDER BARRIERS
Texas AG
@KenPaxtonTX
announced that he’d secured an “administrative stay” on Biden’s attempt to destroy Texas’s barriers preventing mass groups of illegals from crossing the US Mexico border
This order will stay in place until the case runs it’s way through the court system
Despite the historic border crisis that’s bankrupting American cities and allowing millions to pour into our country, Biden is hellbent on keeping the border open.
Great work AG Paxton!
