I have no doubt in my mind about the view that the founding of this nation was divine intervention.
And that judgment is based upon my study of its founding and the military might of Great Britain during the Revolutionary War...--Tyr

I love 'This Day In History,' from many sources. My favorite though is Tara Ross. She's a retired attorney and fairly conservative, though I don't know her politics. She's strongly in favor of the Electoral College and has written books, including one for children, on that topic.

The previous December, Lincoln had approved a provision creating a U.S. Navy Medal of Valor.

To date more than 3,400 men and on woman have received the Medal of Honor.

On 07 Sep 1813, the United States gets its nickname, Uncle Sam, when
a newspaper picks up the story of Samuel Wilson, a meat packer who supplied

for United States, but soldiers began referring the grub to "Uncle Sam's".

I wish that history would tell us that on this day in time, today, President Trump declared California a Federal Disaster Area and sent in the National Guard to clean up the state and throw out the treasonous trash running it and all the illegal aliens.
