17 When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

29 Today I honor the ideals of our Founders, a set of principles laid out in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that we as a society have striven to attain for nearly 250 years, in fits and starts. Those ideals were unique in the history of human governments and will live on in the hearts of lovers of true liberty. As a nation we will survive if we continue to uphold those founding principles, not if we continue to tear them down. May God bless America.

Endeavour to persevere!

Those tools certainly make writing easier, but for the best writing ever done, it is an impediment.

Regardless, nice painting, if a bit idealized.

105 REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.

When my business partner from Australia was here in April we had some meetings down around VA and MD. We ended up having a free afternoon and he wanted to see the monuments in DC.

This was just a random Thursday afternoon in April and the place was packed with tourists and lots and lots of school kids from all over judging by the buses they arrived in. Given what we are spoon fed by the media I was pleasantly surprised how many people where there taking in the sights, even the Jefferson Memorial.

130 Okay, this is an effective painting. The mood is somber, the situation in the colonies is dark, time may be running out (that grandfather clock on the right). And one man is struggling to put it in perspective so that all can understand. The complete emphasis on Jefferson, the writer, and what he wrote points to what Pyle thought of him and his work. The hint of the shadow merging with the dark grandfather clock is, to me, another indication of one man's influence.

I've seen a number of Pyle's paintings and illustrations but hadn't seen this one. I also didn't know he taught Maxfield Parrish and, to some extent, NC Wyeth. You can see how he might have influenced today's premier historical artists like Kuntsler and Troiani.

This dark, poignant image seems especially appropriate for my mood about the country these last years.

Lanterns burning cheap kerosene for indoor lighting, replacing candles and fireplaces, was a revolution in human productivity and comfort that is rarely mentioned by historians. When kerosene and kerosene lanterns went on the market in the mid-1850s, everyone wanted a kerosene lantern.

The oil drilling and refining industries began and exploded in size by producing crude oil then refining kerosene from it. John D. Rockefeller and his Standard Oil partners became filthy rich selling kerosene, not gasoline. The oil industries were in trouble when natural gas and electricity began reducing the kerosene demand in the early 1900s. They were saved by the automobile.

208 I don't think the founders actually gave much thought to what the future would hold. In my opinion they were mostly concerned with their "hear and now." And crafted documentation that they thought would give them some sort of validity as it pertained to the desire for self rule.

Their concepts have evolved over time, but what was originally written was fairly eloquent, but simple.

TL;DR "leave us the fuck alone to govern ourselves or we'll curb stomp your limey heads."

Too bad most people don't adhere that basic principle.

So did their understanding that the only way they could achieve their desired state was through independence. Many years and constant debate and rejected ideas. It's not like they all woke up in 1776 and said "Hey, maybe we should go to war with the most powerful country the world has ever known!".

And it wasn't even a majority of the people living in the colonies who wanted freedom.

237 Jefferson was an idealist to the end, writing about the "thought" of why the Founders had accomplished. The pragmatists , like Franklin, who knew this was a short term affair, were already gone by TJ's end (1826). None would have been surprised by the war between the states and would have correctly noted the end of the first Republic at that juncture.

Yes the farmers on the frontier turned their unsold grain to distilled spirits. But the tax was the first tax passed on a domestic product and it was to pay for the war debt. Both sides had their points.

310 Mark Dice has a good video out today about the 4th and how blacks are displaying their disdain for the country that fought to make them free to live in prosperity and wealth.

They are demanding reparations. Your reparations are not having to live in a grass hut, sleeping on a dirt floor and doing the bidding of your masters. There are more black millionaires in this country than any country on Earth. THERE'S your reparations.

Not to mention that millions of blacks have intentionally & legally immigrated here and generally do very well for themselves & their families.

Most fruit wood does good, depending on your marinade or rub. I can tell you Worcestershire and mesquite (not fruit wood, I know) clash quite hard and I don't recommend the 2 flavors at the same time.

326 I'm late, again. Thank you so very much, CBD.

A family, all dressed in red, white and blue, with seven very small children put a parade on this morning for the immediate neighborhood.

Seven children from 3 weeks to 7 years old in strollers, on bikes, pulled by wagon, all decorated with flags, ribbons, signs. Two sets of parents, one set of grandparents, carrying a CD player playing 'God Bless the USA' sung by Lee Greenwood and other appropriate music, and all of those little ones scurrying about. It was wonderful, beautiful, heartwarming.

Proud to be an American.
