Today’s Highlight in History:
On July 14, 2016, terror struck Bastille Day celebrations in the French Riviera city of Nice (nees) as a large truck plowed into a festive crowd, killing 86 people in an attack claimed by Islamic State extremists; the driver was shot dead by police.
On this date:
In 1789, in an event symbolizing the start of the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside.
In 1798, Congress passed the Sedition Act, making it a federal crime to publish false, scandalous or malicious writing about the United States government.
In 1865, the Matterhorn, straddling Italy and Switzerland, was summited as a seven-member rope party led by British climber Edward Whymper reached the peak. (Four members of the party fell to their deaths during their descent; Whymper and two guides survived.)
In 1914, scientist Robert H. Goddard received a U.S. patent for a liquid-fueled rocket apparatus.
In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco (SAH’-koh) and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Massachusetts, of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.)
In 1933, all German political parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed.
In 1960, British researcher Jane Goodall arrived at the Gombe (GAHM’-bay) Stream Reserve in the Tanganyika Territory (in present-day Tanzania) to begin her famous study of chimpanzees in the wild.
In 1980, the Republican national convention opened in Detroit, where nominee-apparent Ronald Reagan told a welcoming rally he and his supporters were determined to “make America great again.”
In 2004, the Senate scuttled a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. (Forty-eight senators voted to advance the measure — 12 short of the 60 needed — and 50 voted to block it).
In 2009, disgraced financier Bernard Madoff arrived at the Butner Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina to begin serving a 150-year sentence for his massive Ponzi scheme.
In 2013, thousands of demonstrators across the country protested a Florida jury’s decision the day before to clear George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
In 2014, the Church of England voted overwhelmingly in favor of allowing women to become bishops.

Five years ago: World powers and Iran struck a deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from international sanctions. President Barack Obama laid out an expansive vision for fixing America’s criminal justice system in a speech to the NAACP’s annual convention in Philadelphia. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft got humanity’s first up-close look at Pluto, sending word of its triumphant flyby across 3 billion miles to scientists waiting breathlessly back home. Mike Trout became the first player in 38 years to lead off the All-Star Game with a home run, and the American League beat the National League 6-3. Veteran television journalist Marlene Sanders, 84, died in New York.
One year ago: Injecting race into his criticism of liberal Democrats, President Donald Trump tweeted that four congresswomen of color should go back to the “broken and crime infested” countries they came from; all of the women were American citizens, and three were born in the U.S. Novak Djokovic won his fifth Wimbledon title, and his second in a row, beating Roger Federer in a fifth-set tiebreaker. Former boxer Pernell Whitaker, a four-division champion, died at the age of 55 after being hit by a car in Virginia.

However, during an event at the White House later on Monday, the president said he has a "very good relationship with Fauci."
"I find him to be a very nice person," the president said, though he acknowledged "I don't always agree with him." A May poll by CBS News revealed 62% of Americans trust Fauci for coronavirus information, compared to 38% for Mr. Trump."
So glad we get our politics shaping information from Chuck Woolery, Hannity, Breitbart and such, why should we trust doctors and the CDC. My main question is how is it possible that trump even gets 38% trusting what he says over a seasoned doctor?

"Administration officials have attempted to discredit Fauci in recent days, suggesting that he was frequently incorrect in the early days of the virus.Because there are people who believe that anyone who gets to a high place in government is either a manipulating crook or an ass-kissing, self-serving bureaucrat - which makes Fauci suspect. So it comes down to them picking the manipulating crook or ass-kissing bureaucrat they agree with over the one they don't. And since Fauci represents all the things a lot of people don't like right now, they pick Trump over him. That help?

I'm a founding member, but my post count is a third or less of other founding members. Not that anyone cares, but seven circumstances led to this. First, I broke my leg and spent a month-and-a-half in a narcotic haze and fell behind in my post count. Second, Joe Swaykos went back to school, which dropped the post count here considerably, and reduced the controversy level considerably, which left less to which to post responses. Third, subsequently, or perhaps consequently, a lot of users drifted away, which dropped the post count further. Fourth, I got moved out of my cubicle at work and into a bullpen, which made it harder to sneak posts in without my supervisor noticing my slacking. Fifth, two years ago, I got the big promotion...well, moderate-size promotion, anyway. Sixth, Redfish drifted away, which meant one less frequent poster to debate with. Finally, COVID-19 hit and I was working my ass off and not riding the vanpool, and that really set me back. Entire weeks went by without me even saying, "Morning, muchachos." Strange how things happen./my post count is low because when you reach my age your BS library is depleted

Third, subsequently, or perhaps consequently, a lot of users drifted away, which dropped the post count further. Fourth, I got moved out of my cubicle at work and into a bullpen, which made it harder to sneak posts in without my supervisor noticing my slacking. Fifth, two years ago, I got the big promotion...well, moderate-size promotion, anyway. Sixth, Redfish drifted away, which meant one less frequent poster to debate with. Finally, COVID-19 hit and I was working my ass off and not riding the vanpool, and that really set me back. Entire weeks went by without me even saying, "Morning, muchachos." Strange how things happen.This post could have easily went for 340
Lessee...was it 2012 I started hanging with you guys, over on CI? Seems like it. Been a long strange trip since then.
Just a little postwhoring. Might as well get started on the next thousand. It could take a coupla years.

Yeah, I coulda milked this one. i'm losing my touch.I'm a founding member, but my post count is a third or less of other founding members. Not that anyone cares, but seven circumstances led to this.

I just bought this. It's a reproduction of the Remington 1911's made during WWI. This was a limited-run commemorative issued by Remington in 2014, but the gun was actually built and finished by Turnbull Restorations, who currently are restoring my 1943 Colt 1911. I needed something to tide me over for the 8-11 months restoration of the '43 will take. This was for sale in Portland. ;-)

See, that's why you only have 12K and not a seasoned PW. You could have easily broken up that thought into 5 or six posts.Yeah, I coulda milked this one. i'm losing my touch.I'm a founding member, but my post count is a third or less of other founding members.

(https://media1.tenor.com/images/f483f779a08a589516e6d2d41c37356e/tenor.gif?itemid=12366013)Yea, there's that... ;DThen there are those people who just like to aggravate Mark ThreeBean.You're just cranky because you didn't get all greens today....that and you're old!I don't come here for controversy. I can get that anywhere. Unless it involves Dean, and that has been in short supply.Well, we do. But some people only like engaging in controversy with people they agree with. ;-)I thought we loved controversy?"Administration officials have attempted to discredit Fauci in recent days, suggesting that he was frequently incorrect in the early days of the virus.And you wonder why our page counts are low. Save the commie crap for facebook.
However, during an event at the White House later on Monday, the president said he has a "very good relationship with Fauci."
"I find him to be a very nice person," the president said, though he acknowledged "I don't always agree with him." A May poll by CBS News revealed 62% of Americans trust Fauci for coronavirus information, compared to 38% for Mr. Trump."
So glad we get our politics shaping information from Chuck Woolery, Hannity, Breitbart and such, why should we trust doctors and the CDC. My main question is how is it possible that trump even gets 38% trusting what he says over a seasoned doctor?
