Ping!

FWIW - we’ve always known the Administration monitors us, now we’re being engaged.

What did Commodore Perry say upon entering Manila Harbor?

The White House should realize from reading this site that they are going to become hated, unfunded as a party and thrown out if they go for this amnesty illegal benefits bill.

“You may fire when you are ready Gridley.”

Commodore George Dewey, 1 May 1898, at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War.

Thanks very, very, very much for the ping HiJinx. I just got home from work and commented (post #358) on the thread that Nicholas Thompson posted to (philman_36’s thread).

Thanks, thanks, thanks.

“You may fire when you are ready Gridley.”

Commodore George Dewey, 1 May 1898, at the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War. The American squadron entered Manila Bay and took fire from the Spanish fleet, anchored under the guns of Cavite, for half an hour until in the position Dewey wanted. Then Dewey addressed his order to Charles Gridley, captain of Dewey’s flagship Olympia.
