Nightmare Up North–B-52s Over Hanoi in Linebacker II
Via Wirecutter
Truly it was “one of the most awesome armadas ever assembled,” as Major
Bill Stocker, in command of the lead B-52, later described it. The roar
could be heard and vibrations felt 10 miles away when our 78 giant
bombers went to full throttle on all eight turbojet engines, one after
the other, over 2 1/2 hours, and took off from Andersen Air Force Base
in Guam.
The Myth of Tom and Sally
In 1993 the Washington Post published an article on research being conducted by an accomplished Richmond lawyer named Robert Cooley. According to this article, among many additional details in regard to the subject, Cooley had been working with scholars for years to examine land deeds owned by the descendants of Thomas Jefferson, for the purpose of investigating specifically what land had been inherited and then developed by these grandchildren of Jefferson as the City of Washington D.C. expanded.

President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has vowed to file a lawsuit against CNN and is seeking a “substantial payment” in the wake of a series of undercover videos showing bias against the Republican president inside the network.
“Never in the history of this country has a president been the subject of such a sustained barrage of unfair, unfounded, unethical and unlawful attacks by so-called ‘mainstream’ news, as the current situation,” Trump lawyer Charles Harder writes to CNN President Jeff Zucker and Executive Vice President David Vigilante.

“I was a member of the Legislature of 1868-69.
Q.
Do you not know that Littlefield was very active in procuring the
passage of bills making appropriations to the various railroads during
the sessions of 1868-69?
A.
I knew that he had a bad reputation. I have seen him in the lobby [of
the Legislature] very often, and in close conversation with the
members. I think he was very active in procuring the passage of those
bills. I know that liquors and cigars were kept in one of the rooms of
the Capitol, and was said to belong to General Littlefield.”
