My how things interconnect.
And some of those connections are amazing as they happen. It appears to be coincidence to some, but others find it part of a pattern.
I’ve seen too much of that, it is a pattern for me.

Kosciusko, Mississippi - hometown of Oprah Winfrey. Population 7400.
On the other hand, Pulaski, Ga (not in Pulaski county) has a population of under 300. Pulaski county has about 12,000.

Anyone who wants a good measure of the role the Polish have played in the history and preservation of Christianity in Western culture needs to watch "The Siege - September 11th, 1683". The Ottomon empire might have taken all of Europe without their courageous salvation of Vienna.
Even to this day there is a room in the Vatican museum devoted to their Warrior King Jan Sobieski, who charged with 3,000 of his Winged Hussars into a muslim camp that may have been as large as 300,000 muz-ka-bobs...

We watched it again yesterday. It has several of the best speeches I've seen in any movie. Arguments that still endure today and lend themselves to "Why we fight."

In his native Poland, Kosciuszko is known for leading the Kosciuszko Uprising of 1794, a brave insurrection against foreign rule by Russia and Prussia. But that came before the liberty-loving Pole played a key but overlooked role in the American Revolution.
The author has it backwards in the second sentence. The uprising was after the revolutionary war.
He has two bridges in New York named after him. One is well known to any tri state traffic report listener as it connects Brookyln and Queens. The other I was not aware of till I just looked up the first to confirm some details.

The American Revolution was from 1775-83
The British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781.
Great Britain formally recognized the independence of the United States in the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783.
That said, they were conscripting American Citizens on the high seas into the British Navy long after that.

I think I’ve seen it. The title comes to mind, but I don’t remember when I saw it.

She is right about Obozo, he is far to the Left of Vlad.
He is in the Fidel catagory. But more like his cousin. Raila Odinga, in Kenya. And both of them lie every time their mouth moves. And are as treacherous as snakes.
