Dec 7th. Pearl Harbor Day. Sadly Overshadowed By Greater Daily Corona Deaths.

[Minister of Truth]

No other American president has sought to separate the American people


To support trump is to tear this nation asunder

Give me a time from the past 192 years in which Dems were a unifying force, with particular emphasis on 1860 and 2020. I guess there is WWII?

The Regressive Left has no interest in history, knows almost no history, so of course the Mind Molders ignore Pearl Harbor Day.

Hello Dutch Uncle,



Alfred Loomis was clairvoyant.

First, he predicted the stock market crash of 29. He sold out prior, then picked up stock for pennies on the dollar afterward and got incredibly wealthy.

Then he predicted WWII and set up a state of the art 1930's physics lab with his own money where he developed RADAR guided Anti Aircraft guns which helped the British Air Force defeat the Luftwaffe.

He wasn't clairvoyant but thanks for the reference to a great man. He was a great man with many contributions to humanity, but still a man.

President Roosevelt lauded the value of Loomis's work, describing him as being the civilian who was second perhaps only to Churchill, in facilitating the Allied victory in World War II.

Loomis was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1940, and received several honorary degrees: from Wesleyan University he received a D.Sc. in 1932, from Yale University an M.Sc. in 1933, and from the University of California an LL.D. in 1941.

Loomis was married to Ellen Farnsworth for more than thirty years; she was beautiful, delicate, and often suffered from debilitating depression, eventually developing dementia. They had three children, Alfred, Jr., a pioneering investor, two-time winner of the Bermuda Race and head of the winning America's Cup syndicate in 1977; Henry, head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Farnsworth, a physician and professor at Brandeis (Farnsworth's grandson is Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix).

Loomis had an affair with a colleague's wife, Manette Hobart, and in 1945 he divorced Ellen and immediately married Manette, scandalizing New York society. At this point he completely changed his lifestyle, eschewing his multiple residences and numerous servants, and settling into a single household in which he and his wife shared a relationship that was characterized by its domesticity. They remained married until Alfred Loomis died more than thirty years later.

Loomis, always a very private person who avoided publicity, retreated from public life entirely after closing the Rad Lab and finishing his related obligations in 1947. He retired to East Hampton, with Manette, and never granted another interview.

On the evening of October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old man from Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire upon the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT, he fired more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his 32nd floor suites in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, killing 60 people[a] and wounding 411, with the ensuing panic bringing the injury total to 867. About an hour later, Paddock was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. His motive remains officially undetermined.

The incident is the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in modern United States history.

But yet the TRUMPTARDS turned the tragedy into an argument to support the 2nd Amendment rights of the KILLER.

TRUMPTARDS ARE LITERALLY BRAIN DEAD!

Translation: TORA! TORA! TORA!

Liberals are funny.

On Pearl Harbor Day, no survivors or eyewitnesses attended the ceremony

That's ashamed, I hope there are still some survivors and eyewitnesses still alive, but I can understand in this pandemic to stay home and safe?!!

(CNN)In what's believed to be a first, no survivors or veterans of World War II attended the annual Pearl Harbor Day event in Hawaii due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

December 7 is National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, commemorating the day when Japanese forces launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, bringing the US into World War II.

A remembrance at the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Honolulu takes place every year, typically bringing together Pearl Harbor survivors, WWII veterans and their family members to honor the lives lost during the attack. The event includes music, a Hawaiian blessing and wreath presentations.

But this year, like everything, the 79th anniversary ceremony looked different.
