Anniversary of the "shot heard round the world"

Post by M-Quigley »

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_hear ... _the_world

April 19th the day the first shots of the American revolution occurred. Ironically it was over the British trying to enforce gun confiscation (and gunpowder confiscation)

I wonder if schools even teach this anymore. They certainly wouldn't show this schoolhouse rock video, because it has cartoon guns and portrayed in a good light, and also the word God in it (as in God bless America) :(

One of my favorite holidays
Ain't activism fun?

"Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. " - George Washington

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And because I can not do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the grace of GOD, I will do."
- Edward Everett Hale (descendant of Nathan Hale)

I saw a meme recently that said
If you trust the government, your history teacher didn't do his job.
Clearly, with 78+% of US adults taking at least one dose of the gene juice, this is no longer taught.
So far (Oct 2022), 263 million Americans have received at least one dose of a vaccine—78.6% of the population.

You mean that you, like me, did not participate in taking an experimental Jonestown concoction labeled as a vaccine.
