“First In Flight.”
We worked out our differences with Ohio on the phrase long ago. Connecticut tried and failed to claim it. Now it’s Brazil
During the opening ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio on Friday, a portion of the program featured the exploits of Alberto Santos-Dumont, who piloted a heavier-than-air machine in 1906.
Brazilians say that his achievement in the 14 BIS was the first to take off on its own without the aid of wind, and therefore should be credited as the first airplane flight.
But we Outer Bankers know that’s just a bunch of hot air.
Due to NBC’s contract with the Olympics, we are not allowed to share the actual video from the ceremony. The hosts kind of laughed it off for the most part.

Hey Moron, try being an Olympian in a ISLAMIC COUNTRY. If you feel unsafe here, go and be on the Saudi women’s Olympic team...
Revisionist, anti-American “history” on display for all the uninformed luddites of the world to see and accept as the (new) “truth”; which in REALITY, is nothing but lies.
If she ‘feels unsafe’ in these United States, she can haul her worthless carcass off to Jihadistan. I promise: I won’t miss her.
If she is so "afraid" here in civilized America, then she can go back to the retrograde, 7th century, barbaric, Islamic hell hole she came from. But I wear she'll never do tat because their ultimate goal is to urn America into a 7th century, barbaric, Islamic hell hole!
You took the words right out of my fingertips.
Sorry from the numerous spelling errors. Samsung Galaxy tablets automatic (can’t turn it off) MISSspelling, auto MISScorrection software stinks on ice!!!!!! It is absolutely, totally frustrating to properly spell words and have this disastrous program turn it into “KOREANglish” gobbledygook!
You didn’t miss anything. As soon as the global warming BS started, I switched to Hawaii 5-O reruns.
And she was right there in the FRONT ROW of the USA part of the parade. Used to be they put the blacks up front, but since most of the team seems to be black now, they need a new minority. I’m glad she is feeling unsafe ... better get used to it, each Muslim Extremist Terrorist act on our soil is going to make her feel even more unsafe. WE aren’t doing it .. SHE is!
It was a pure BS PC propaganda fest. Straight from the beginning, showing the “happy” indigenous people having a great time, until the “Evil” White European came, and brought the slaves with them.
This is the tide we’re swimming against. This globalist agenda is being spewed from every direction.
Hubbie says that one thing that really struck him was their attitude that they were just as good as the USA and were annoyed that they didn’t have the standing in the world as we do. Sorta like a 12 year old getting mad the parents won’t treat him like an adult.
You certainly won’t see the Japanese apologizing for their history in their opening ceremonies.
DId you notice how many women athletes were sporting hijabs? I never even recall seeing one before these Games.
No, I’m not watching it...Dad was robbed in Rio in 1990..what a hellhole he said...
