Interesting history integration and timing loop:

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is an American federal observance that recognizes the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens. It is normally observed on September 17, the day in 1787 that delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the document in Philadelphia.[1]

The United States Congress designated September 17 as Constitution Day and Citizenship Day on February 29, 1952, by joint resolution (36 U.S.C. 106).[2] It begins Constitution Week in the United States, which continues through September 23.

Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary; 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She had been queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and was the monarch of 15 realms at her death. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days is the longest of any British monarch, the second-longest of any sovereign state, and the longest of any queen regnant in history.

I loved watching. I just finished a book about Pat Nixon. Such a lovely woman.

The visit is a coup for the White House, with Trump becoming the first elected politician in modern history to be granted two state visits, after his earlier one in 2019.

Who cares?

A meaningless factoid.

This is the reason I turn off the sound when I am watching what remains of my beloved national pastime.

Some stupid announcer spewing stupid statistics like exactly how hard a hard hit ball was hit and then tell me where the batter ranked in hard hit balls over a certain speed.

At least Trump had the good sense not to bow down on his first visit.

Which is more than can be said for the kneeler Barry.

She sounds it. And if you haven’t been to the Nixon Presidential Library in CA, highly recommend! So worth it! Reagan’s even more which is bigger and has special exhibits as a general museum. Julie I’m aware wrote a book about Pat too!

I don’t think KingChuck would be addressing a joint session of Congress anytime soon, so as Hillary famously said….”what difference does it make?”
