Athletes Expelled from 1968 Olympics for Raised Fist Protest Invited to WH
by Shifra on September 26, 20161968 was a time of racial unrest (much like today, thank you Obama Regime) and their “Black Power” salute violated Olympic rules. And shocked the country. But, after inviting the BLM thugs to the White House, of course Obama would love to meet these two men. How long before Obama gives the Medal of Honor to Colin Kaepernick for his stunt? Here is Reuter’s glowing piece about the upcoming event: Tommie Smith and John Carlos, the two African-American athletes sent home from the 1968 Olympic Games for their raised-fist protest on the medal podium, will receive a long-awaited moment of redemption at a U.S. team event at the White House this week. The two were invited by the U.S. Olympic...

New App: Old Photos of Your NYC Location Just A Tap Away
by Shifra on August 31, 2016We all know that Tammy will be downloading this app, ASAP! Via NY Post. A decade ago, you would have to go to the New York Public Library in person to view its Milstein Division, which contains a collection of some 54,000 gripping images of New York City taken between the 1870s and the 1970s. And, after a tedious request for microfilm, you definitely couldn’t sneak a particularly compelling streetscape out of the 42nd Street branch and take it with you for a side-by-side comparison with its modern-day counterpart. But now there’s an app for that. OldNYC — which debuted in May — digitally tags each photo in the collection based on location, and clusters them at thousands of intersections...

Has The Mystery of Christian Holocaust Hero Raoul Wallenberg Been Solved?
by Shifra on August 9, 2016For most people, the name “Raoul Wallenberg” is unknown. But for anyone who is familiar with the history of the Holocaust, his name evokes admiration and gratitude…and heartache for his mysterious disappearance. Raoul Wallenberg was a Swedish diplomat who saved tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps. He was last seen in 1945, and his disappearance has remained a mystery. Until now: Via Telegraph. The newly-published memoirs of the first chief of the KGB may shed light on the fate of a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews from the Holocaust only to disappear in the final weeks of the Second World War. Raoul Wallenberg is honoured around the world for rescuing tens of...

Gadsden Flag May Be Officially Deemed Racist
by Pat_S on August 5, 2016An African-American employee of a federal agency complained about being harassed by a co-worker wearing a cap with a Gadsden flag depicted on it. The complainant found the cap racially offensive citing that Christopher Gadsden was a slave owner. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating the matter. The flag is connected with the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin suggested the coiled rattlesnake to be the symbol for the new country. Benjamin Franklin on the Rattlesnake as a Symbol of America I recollected that her eye excelled in brightness, that of any other animal, and that she has no eye-lids. She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She...

Dem State Senator: Ban Confederate Flag From Gettysburg Battle Reenactment
by Shifra on July 4, 2016While I fully understand why people would have a viscerally negative reaction to the Confederate flag, why bother having a reenactment if one side is forbidden to carry flags? Should no flags be carried into “battle?” Should the Confederate uniforms be banned? Maybe only Union soldiers should participate in the reenactment? Or, maybe the Confederate soldiers should just carry this flag: Via ABC27. Confederate flags and the soldiers carrying them came to Gettysburg on July 1-3, 1863. The history books tell us it was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. Historians tell us it was the turning point for the North. Every year, participants from around country flock to Gettysburg to reenact the famous battle. There’s the blue. And...

Archaeologists Say They’ve Discovered Aristotle’s Tomb
by Tammy on May 27, 2016Wow. Let’s hope they’re right. Via UPI. For 20 years, scientists have been excavating the archaeological site of Stagira in northern Greece. On Thursday, they announced their most significant discovery yet: the tomb of Aristotle. Archaeologists presented their discovery of the 2,400-year-old tomb to attendees of the Aristotle 2400 Years World Congress, a conference organized by the Interdisciplinary Center for Aristotle Studies at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The discovery has been reported by several Greek news sites. Aristotle, perhaps history’s most famous philosopher, was born in the ancient Macedonian city of Stagira in 384 B.C. The newly unearthed tomb features a nearby altar and marble floor. It is covered by a mounded dome. Pottery and gold coins were also...

by Tammy on May 25, 2016As a fan of the show, I see many neat things, but I have a tiny feeling they will all become outrageously too expensive. I just hope someone doesn’t pay through the nose for a box or a paperback book. Via NY Post. “Mad Men” fans will soon get the chance to literally walk in Megan Draper’s shoes — or see the world through Don Draper’s shades.

Lock of Thomas Jefferson’s Hair Auctioned for $6,875
by Tammy on May 15, 2016Well, I love history and this is amazing, but you know the first thing that popped into my mind: they better not try to clone him!! Via AP: A lock of hair from Thomas Jefferson has sold at auction in Texas for $6,875, nearly 190 years after the former president died. Heritage Auctions in Dallas said Saturday’s sale involved 14 strands that were snipped by Jefferson’s personal physician at the time of the statesman’s death on July 4, 1826.

Egyptian Archaeologist: Jews Are Lying, Pharaoh Was Not Egyptian
by Shifra on May 1, 2016The Passover holiday ended last night, but this Egyptian scholar wants you to know: the story of the Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is based on a lie: The Pharaoh who enslaved the Jews was a Bedouin, not an Egyptian. How does he know this? Because the Koran does not use the word Pharoah to describe Egyptians. Uh, well, ok…got it. But if this so-called “scholar” is so interested in historical accuracy, maybe he should investigate why the Muslim world is still rife with the outrageous claim that Passover matzah is baked with Muslim blood. Via Algemeiner: The ancient Pharaoh mentioned during the Passover holiday’s annual retelling of the Jewish Exodus story was not actually an Egyptian, a leading...

Pregnant T. rex Found, May Contain DNA
by Tammy on April 29, 2016Gah! You know some mad scientist out there is going to want to clone it. That would be bad. Via Discovery. A pregnant Tyrannosaurus rex has been found, shedding light on the evolution of egg-laying as well as on gender differences in the dinosaur. The remains also could contain the holy grail of all dinosaur fossils: DNA. “Yes, it’s possible,” Lindsay Zanno told Discovery News, referring to genetic material that may be present in this as well as similar dinosaur finds. “We have some evidence that fragments of DNA may be preserved in dinosaur fossils, but this remains to be tested further.” What has been confirmed so far is that the T. rex, which was found in Montana and dates...

Titanic Captain Was Warned Before Voyage – But Not About Icebergs
by Tammy on April 15, 2016Ooh! Via The Guardian. The captain of the Titanic had more than icebergs to contend with on the ill-fated voyage that ended 104 years ago on Friday, a document has revealed. A report was handed to Capt Edward Smith before the ship left Southampton for its maiden voyage to New York on 10 April 1912, warning him of the presence of a mast of a submerged wreck in the Atlantic. The scrunched-up piece of paper was handed back to the messenger as it was not on the ship when it sank after hitting an iceberg, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,500 people. The note ended up in the offices of the solicitors hired to represent White Star Line,...
