good talk

I just saw part of "A Few Good Men" on TV, not a very good movie but was well worth the price of admission on the big screen to see the Marines' Dismounted Drill actually the Texas A&M Drill Team. John Calvin Coolidge was the only President born on the 4th of July. Say what you will about the rampant stock speculation during his tenure leading to the Depression, Coolidge during his terms, August 2, 1923 to March 4, 1929, cut the National Debt by a quarter by reducing Federal Expenditures and cutting taxes and also signed the Immigration Act of 1924. Article 14-----All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. This part of the Constitution obviously would mean that the offspring of illegal aliens as well as any subsequent generations of these offspring would not amongst other things be Citizens of the United States, to maintain these criminals in this country is really bad you've run this country into the ground. Calvin Jr., "16," died in 1924 from an infected tennis blister and Calvin Sr. served his elected term in great sorrow (antibiotics didn't come in until the 30's, the greatest medical breakthrough of the past century or 2C) saying When he died the power and glory of the Presidency went with him. In Little Rock I went to the very good Clinton Presidential Library, I went to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame which I enjoyed very much, went to the "Arkansas Territorial Restoration" which depicts life in frontier Arkansas and I saw 2 blacksmiths hammering out a Bowie Knife, I had never seen blacksmiths smithing away and found it fascinating. There's many versions of the Bowie Knife, "Arkansas Toothpick," which gained reknown along with Jim Bowie when he used one to kill 2 men in the same fight. I had already been to the Arkansas State Capitol, it was Saturday and it closed at 2 and there wouldn't have been anybody there anyway. Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was the lst Commissioner of Baseball, 1920 until he died in office November 25, 1944. His father was in the Union Army in the Civil War and lost a leg at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, 2 spellings, in Georgia in 1864 and named his son born in 1866 for what he had lost. A former Federal Judge, Landis was brought in to rule Baseball with an iron hand after the Black Sox Scandal of 1919 when the Chicago White Sox threw the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds. Brought on in large part due their treatment by the owner Charles Comiskey a notorious cheapskate the scene depicted in the movie "Eight Men Out" was accurately portrayed. Star Pitcher Eddie Cicotte comes in after the 1919 Season to speak with Charles Comiskey, Cicotte is wearing a suit and takes off his straw hat in the presence of the seated Comiskey......You promised me a 10 thousand dollar bonus if I won 30 games, I won 29 and you held me out of my last 2 starts for sure I would have won one of those........Eddie, 29 is not 30.......
