The girls, I mean, they weighed a lot less too….

and wish him a Happy Birthday.

Japan couldn’t learn the first time.

So the US dropped the second bomb….Fat Man, the second time an implosion-type plutonium bomb was ever detonated by anyone on this planet.

I mean, the firebombings that burned much of Tokyo and other cities actually killed more people, and did more to damage the Japanese ability to make War.

But the single bomb causing such damage scared the hell out of the Japanese military and eventually, the Royalty.

It was supposed to be Kokura, but the gods of chance saved the city and it’s inhabitants….weather and the smoke from bombings the night before made Kokura impossible to bomb visually….This doomed Nagasaki, as it was the secondary target.

on August 14, Emperor Hirohito recorded his surrender announcement.

This surrender likely saved most of million allied servicemen from death, and likely ten times that of Japanese citizens.

A Spanish town has become the first in the country to ban Muslims from using public facilities to celebrate religious Eid festivals

I guess that the people of Spain just want their Christian based culture to remain the same. Tired of the Muslims invading and trying to change things.

History may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

On this date, back in 1945, the United states detonated the second ever Atomic Bomb…over Hiroshima, Japan.

Despite the firebombings killing many Japanese people over the preceding months, the allied bombings had not broken the will of the Japanese to make war….

and, of course, the US has spent all that money on the Manhattan Project….

But, either way, on Aug 6th, 1945 the Enola Gay, piloted by Col. Paul Tibbetts, dropped the uranium bomb at 8:15 Am local time.

The bomb detonated approximately 44 seconds later, killing approximately 110,000 people.

Welcome to the atomic age.

“No one is “Too Busy”…it is simply a matter of priorities”

“If you cannot change things, don’t worry about them”

“Every moment you spend living in the past is a wasted moment in the present”

“Not everyone deserves your kindness”

“Many of us have a temple of peace in our hearts, but leave the doors open for storms to enter”

“Walk away from the table if you are being served disrespect”

“Before you invest a great deal of time in someone, ask yourself: Are they investing in you?”

“Forgive others and go forward, or never see them again, nothing in between”

That was trashed during the BLM protestgasm

Bad enough that the first one was pulled down, worse was that the police allowed it to continue to happen.

Even worse was that no one was arrested for vandalism.

But at least one is being put back in it’s place.
