I enjoy watching the neo-Nazi democrats committing political suicide.

".... So...Medal of Honor recipients dead for over a century can now be Red Flagged...."

Well, I wouldn't be too worried about that happening yet.

First, Williamson, won't ever be elected president.

Two, And if she was, she would need congressional approval for this lame-brain idea. That would be a heavy lift by itself.

Three, there are no Red Flag laws passed yet and that's an uphill battle too.

Four, Medal of Honor recipients can't have any guns taken from then if they have been dead for over a 100 years.

What I'd worry about, is why is our society considering this new age wacko for president to begin with?

Oh she does have a brain alright, but it’s the size of a pea.

Well, then I was right.

A goose's brain is definitely bigger than a pea.

Domestic Goose Brain. * Size: 1.8 inch x 1.6 inch x 1.0 inch (46mm x 30mm x 26mm)

Yeah. Citizenship should have been enough. Heck, even a 99 year lease, like was done with Hong Kong would have been preferable.

Fair enough.

Let’s strip the Buffalo Soldiers from all history books and museums.

I found one film by Aleksandr Nevsky that was naive, but very entertaining. It involved an old war between the Swedes and the Rus.

If I am not mistaken, President Trump is an admirer of Jackson.

Partner, President Jackson was a populist and he loved people. The D.C. folks did not like him because they thought he was just another hick from the woods.

I just got through finishing the book on the War of 1812 and the role that Ole Hickory played in this war.

He led a rag tag army of back woodsmen to defend the city of New Orleans in 1814, since the Brits wanted to come in through the Mississippi river.

He knew exactly where the enemy was coming through and Ole Hickory put up defenses for his troops and he also put them across the Mississippi. The battle lasted only one day and Ole Hickory only lost 2 men while the Brits lost thousands and the Brits ran thru briars as the song goes.

We won the battle of 1814 only because of the genius of Ole Hickory and he turned out to be a pretty good President.

Jackson Square in the City of New Orleans is named after President Jackson and there is a bronze statue in Jackson Square showing then General Jackson riding his horse.

BTW, President Jackson's family came from Scotland.

You have a good grasp of history. There was also the Fort Mims massacre in Alabama - the largest massacre of White settlers by Indians. Over 500 were killed by Creek Indians, which included many men, women, and children. The Creek Indians were also armed by the British. This spread absolute panic throughout the Southeast. This is when General Andrew Jackson enters the picture.

It is sad to see such a great President as Jackson smeared by leftist Bolshevik scum. We are like Mother Russia @100 years ago. All heroes of the past will be air brushed from our history. Eventually this will include us as well.

The phrase, “God willing and the Creek don’t rise.” originates with a missionary who was writing to a friend about their anticipated future reunion iff the Creek Indians whom he was among didn’t rise and kill him.

Good story. The Creeks were definitely on the list of Indians not to mess with. I say this as someone who had a Cherokee Great-Grandfather.

I've heard some pretty frightening things about life on Indian reservations. I'm glad my teen-age grandchildren are out of there.
