NW – this is precisely the type of tribute “Columbus Day” deserves. Thank you. BTW, the last one is my favorite of all the fine tweets I’ve seen today.
Now, you know I hadn’t thought of it that way! This gives me a whole new perspective, YA. Maybe I’ll cut it in a more pleasant spirit going forward – though not again this year, please. 😀
Vice President Joe Biden will make a stop in Syracuse next week to headline a campaign rally for U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei, a White House official said today. Biden will appear at 1 p.m. Monday at Syracuse Hancock International Airport for a campaign event that will be open to the public, the official said. Ticket information has not yet been determined. …
Awesome sauce!!! I was wondering if you were doing it this year as I was never able to get tixs to the Huntington before the event sold out in years prior. And I live minutes from the the zoo too!! 🙂
I often wonder what would have happened if we left the Indians alone?
How The US would have looked and how it would haven shaped the world?
That said, in addition to free college, maybe we can give the American Indians free Rent or Mortgage?
My sentiments exactly. US economy is sound and has had excellent numbers……But the Wall Street Rascals and partisan hacks……noting and noticing that No GOP wave have started their own uneasiness in the Financial Markets to spook the electorate.
Say what??? Sen. Coats (R-In) said that if Repubs take over the senate, it will mean greater cooperation with the WH! So—if you want nice Repubs who will work with PBO, vote Repub! Brilliant solution!
I agree with every corrective tweet about Columbus and every attempt to make sure that his historically distorted image is set right. But, on the positive side, Columbus served as a big source pride for immigrant Italian Americans as they came here in waves in the later part of the 19th and early 20th century. Here was an Italian that Americans honored and immigrants could celebrate. Italians held parades in big cities and created Knights of Columbus affiliations. It was part of an integration process by which new Italian Americans could claim their place in the US. The Irish had St. Patrick’s Day and the Italians appropriated October 13 for their own. In the New York of my childhood, honoring Columbus was a very real way for Italians to feel that they were true Americans.
Vicki, that time has passed now. Italians aren’t a big part of the immigration picture today and they’ve pretty much blended into the American melting pot. But when the influx was high and the discrimination intense, Columbus, for good or will, served a valuable purpose to the earlier generations.
This is just total arrogance on full display here. They think they can say and do anything and there will be NO consequences. I sure hope we vote because these people are beyond crazy. smh/ 😯
Donna, this man must live in a house without mirrors–an uglier, more repulsive face I could not imagine unless its Ted Cruz. This is also the sign of desperation. He is a low-life scum who cant figure out how to debate with a woman, so he resorts to old “abuse her looks bully tactic. Women should spit in his eye by turning out in droves against him.
“Outside the Palace of Westminster over the course of the debate, a small group of Pro-Palestinian demonstrators held a banner saying “Time to start giving back what we had no right to take” – a reference to the 1917 Balfour Declaration in which the British government committed itself to establishing a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine. Inside, many of the speakers in the debate, in which over 50 members of parliament asked to participate, mentioned the Balfour Declaration as well, and with it what they saw as Britain’s special responsibility to solving the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
And, I sorta like the irony of the vote happening, in the context of Balfour Declaration, on the day America celebrates an epic ‘no right to take’ moment in colonialist history ….
I love that picture of the Indian and black slave. I listen to how the Tea Party and other whites talk like this country belong to them, we want owe country back they love to say. To them this country America doesn’t belong to anyone but the white man.

History!

You’re welcome, Chips.
Nope. I’ve had a few in the past but ’tis rare indeed!

ADMIRAL! I’m told that you were a mess cook at the “Last Supper”!
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
You are SO going in to spam, you RASCAL!!!!!!
Luv spam. It’s good with mustard. 😆
Huh, you won’t be so keen (see what I did there?) when you see what’s in spam. Eg VC.
Mind your helm Admiral. Your fantail is getting terribly close to the shoals.
Once again, you question the positioning of my fantail. Shoals? Fish? Well, I’ve haddock enough.
You are quite the wit today. It still means “Watch your A**”!
THE BOTTOM SPLIT PHOTO…EXACTLY…AND WE DON’T HAVE A DAMN THING TO BE PROUD OF…NOT WITH A FOUNDATION MADE OF QUICKSAND!
Congrats sailor 🙂

Thanks, Bob.

Good Afternoon, TODVille!
Congrats to Yardam on the gold! ⭐
Off to cut the grass [for the last time this year, please god of growing grass]! BBL
And being on the right side of it, eh? 😆
Now, you know I hadn’t thought of it that way! This gives me a whole new perspective, YA. Maybe I’ll cut it in a more pleasant spirit going forward – though not again this year, please. 😀
Looking at the blades is better than pushing at the roots! 🙂
Yea, I got it, 😉 😉 …..which is why I am going to try to approach this chore with a bit more ‘respect’ in future.
Do that. It’s a blessing.
😀

Ask young black men if they are more concern about ebola or police officers?
Exactly!
In three days of trading… The Dow has had a seloff. Almost 1k points biggest seloff since 2011.
Very interesting 3 weeks b4 an election.
Yes, I too find that rather suspect….
My sentiments exactly. US economy is sound and has had excellent numbers……But the Wall Street Rascals and partisan hacks……noting and noticing that No GOP wave have started their own uneasiness in the Financial Markets to spook the electorate.
Nailed it, Jovie.
WP froze me out on the last thread, so this is a test to see if my WP “time out” is over.
Say what??? Sen. Coats (R-In) said that if Repubs take over the senate, it will mean greater cooperation with the WH! So—if you want nice Repubs who will work with PBO, vote Repub! Brilliant solution!

Dotster, that’s the equivalent of the abusive boyfriend saying he’d be ‘real nice’ if you would marry him.
GOP/MSM motto—“Just say anything” Our dumb constituents will believe anything.
I agree with every corrective tweet about Columbus and every attempt to make sure that his historically distorted image is set right. But, on the positive side, Columbus served as a big source pride for immigrant Italian Americans as they came here in waves in the later part of the 19th and early 20th century.

Yes. Let’s keep on honoring italian Americans. Just re-name the holiday.
Vicki, that time has passed now. Italians aren’t a big part of the immigration picture today and they’ve pretty much blended into the American melting pot. But when the influx was high and the discrimination intense, Columbus, for good or will, served a valuable purpose to the earlier generations.
Got it, TY jackieg
Sasha and Malia make the list of Time’s 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014. So did Mo’Ne Davis.

In addition to no mirrors, this man also must live in a house without women. Ugh.
And he’s so so handsome. Oy. What he is is an ugly person.
Maybe the women voters need to hear what this man said about his female opponent?
Beautiful and I bet smart young ladies,the Obama girls.
The gene pool is Texas is really polluted with ppl like #MakeDCListen.
#daeshbags not ISIL, ISIS, etc …..
A bit of useful context …
“Outside the Palace of Westminster over the course of the debate, a small group of Pro-Palestinian demonstrators held a banner saying “Time to start giving back what we had no right to take” – a reference to the 1917 Balfour Declaration in which the British government committed itself to establishing a “national home” for the Jewish people in Palestine.

While it’s non-binding, it matters.
And, I sorta like the irony of the vote happening, in the context of Balfour Declaration, on the day America celebrates an epic ‘no right to take’ moment in colonialist history ….
