83 years ago today the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the US Pacific Fleet resting at anchor. Some 2,400 men were killed and the Fleet heavily damaged; of 8 battleships present during the attack, 4 were sunk, to say nothing of other ships. The US went on to declare war against Japan and the Axis, whose powers would pay a heavy price.
Bearing in mind the rhyming nature of history, let's pray we don't see a rerun of December 7, 1941. And if we do, would today's America have the will and manufacturing ability to take the war to the enemy? We did then, what about now. A serious if loaded question. You'll recall Kamala Harris equating the J6 protest with Pearl Harbor and Washington, apparently, agreeing.
Remember Pearl Harbor and those who gave their lives.

My late Father served with a Navy Chief whose brother was killed on the West Virginia on December 7th. That's what the Navy told the family, but he wasn't. You may think perhaps that was a kindness, after all:

Anon, I was moved by that. Very.
If CNN was around in 1941:
"Japanese flyover is mostly peaceful......"
