Happy Independence Day!!!
2
022!


Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Please stand with me! A Happy Fourth of July to you all ladies and gentlemen! God bless this day! God bless America!

If you believed things were dark now, remember what the world was like in the dark days of 1993 when Japan was continuing to outpace us in every metric and would for the foreseeable future economically, productively, culturally and yes, even martially. It was clear in the wake of the Cold War, that it would be the Rising Sun of the East that would dominate the West and thus the World.

His name was Yokozuna, who hailed from San Francisco the Japanese Home Islands and was a Champion Sumotori in his lands. Just take my word for it, don't need to look it up.

Yokozuna and his sadistic manager Mr. Fuji issued a challenge to ALL AMERICANS to attempt to slam the WWF Heavyweight Champion of the World on America's Holiday, on the USS Intrepid itself in an intentional slight to every American.

On that July 4th, 1993... on the proud American Aircraft Carrier USS Intrepid, America's Greatest Competitors answered a challenge to do what was thought impossible.

Many challengers from every manner of sport in America from Football to Hockey to Basketball attempted to crush him in the Stars and Stripes Challenge. Even Wrestling Legend Bob Backlund and Scott Steiner, who hailed from the American Protectorate of Canada also failed ignominiously. Even the Macho Man himself Randy Savage was embarrassed in his two attempts.

But then... the Lex Express arrived and saved AMERICA from National Humiliation.



Embodying the Spirit of America, Lex Luger achieved the impossible and slammed the six hundred pound WWF Heavyweight Champion of the World. Lex Luger singlehandedly saved America from National Humiliation and in the ensuing months the Lex Express traveled the countryside, raising America's National Morale as his patrotic journey culminated in him ultimately defeating Yokozuna and at Summerslam ultimately defeated Yokozuna, earning the WWF Heavyweight Championship for himself... and bringing the Belt back to America!

God bless America. And remember, it is to easy to take such freedoms for granted. Once lost, it is harder to get them back. Many veterans, philanthropists, statesmen and others fought to give us the country we have today, and to keep it.

This country has seen tribulations before, like now, and will see more in the future. It's a reminder that, as cliche as it may sound to some? "Freedom is not free, it requires eternal vigilance."

Happy 4th everyone.

Never Forget.
That - like all professional wrestling - was actually staged.

Since I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, there was an American Major General during the Revolution from France who had Marie-Joseph as the first of his given names.

He was a close personal friend of George Washington and went on to write the French equivalent of The Bill of Rights.

He is more commonly known as Lafayette.

Lafayette was famously, and deservedly called "The Hero of Two Worlds" for his service to both France and the United States.


There was a reason when Col. Charles Staunton in 1917 stood before Lafayette's tomb and said "Lafayette, we are here."

There is something near you in the US that has some variation of Lafayette as part of its name. Off the top of my head I've got two cities, a road, and a shopping mall. There's probably more that I've forgotten about.

Lafayette was a close personal friend of Thomas Jefferson, who resided in Virginia, so not a surprise as he visited the United States several times after the war, and was quite a celebrity.

Lafayette was in charge of the pin part of the "pin and flank" that won the American Revolution at Yorktown. A French fleet under de Grasse was the flank part of it, closed and locked the door to the escape route, and left Lord Cornwallis with only one viable option: surrender.
