The severely mentally handicapped liberals calling for Donald Trump to be confronted by the military have never heard of The Posse Comitatus Act and it shows....
You can't use the military against American citizens. It's been law for nearly 250 years

44 years ago today, Mt St Helens erupted....🌋
The Gary Rosenquist Sequence....
In May 1980, Gary Rosenquist and his companions arrived at a location near Mount St. Helens, where they camped overnight. The following morning, they witnessed the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
Gary Rosenquist captured a series of 21 photographs during the eruption, which have become historically significant. Recently, these images have been transformed into a continuous video using advanced AI software and pixel processing algorithms.

#OTD in 1962, LtCol John Glenn orbited the earth three times. Glenn earned only $8 which included his basic pay and flight pay. The 5 hour flight was not long enough to earn a per diem. Plus he was not reimbursed for mileage because he flew a government vehicle.

Constructed in 1874, the old public library of Cincinnati had an interesting origin. It was built on land initially designated for an opera house, which regrettably went bankrupt before completion. At the time of its grand opening, the library boasted 60,000 volumes, with an estimated capacity for as many as 300,000.
However, the library faced numerous challenges over the years. It became outdated, with books stacked beyond reach, poor ventilation, peeling paint, and a leaking roof. It also grappled with financial constraints and a lack of maintenance.
In 1955, the library's fate took a turn when it was sold to Leyman Corp for $100,000, equivalent to about $970,000 today. Soon after, it was demolished, making way for an office building and a parking lot. The old library, once a repository of knowledge, now exists only in the pages of history.

The iconic San Francisco Cliff House before it was destroyed in a 1907 fire. Somehow it had survived the 1906 earthquake a year before.
