Meanwhile, back at the bar
Pulls up a chair, hi George, hi Thomas, what you boys working on, that document is as follows:
That document, with its text in English, French and Dutch, attempts to ensure safe passage for the Schooner Polly, commanded by Samuel Davis, – out of Providence and bound for the French West Indies with a cargo of food, tobacco, and leather – by declaring “that no subjects of the present belligerent powers have any part or portion therein, directly or indirectly, so may God Almighty help him…”
It ends with Christian language
Don’t preach to me pope person, I’ve never needed a middleman
Extra learning
Yesterday was Thomas Jefferson day, what I like about Thomas
Jefferson embodied the ideal of a well-rounded scholar who passionately pursued knowledge across many disciplines
His example underscores the vital role that curiosity, reading, and formal learning play in personal growth and societal progress, motivating people of all ages to value education as a cornerstone of a free and innovative society.
What you are watching play out is the Thomas Jefferson Doctrine
“We don’t negotiate with terrorists”
The eurotrash of his day, was fine for paying “fees” TRIBUTE for safe passage of ships and people, what has the euroweenies of our day say “not our war”,
SSDD with that bunch.
Shipping traffic gulf of America
Was lookin at doc, of course some words came to mind, with music
The Eagle born to those who pledged their Lives & Sacred honor
was smiled upon by God, freed from chains and iron collar
He is held aloft by unity, and history, revered
for preserving peace through strength His wings now stretch across 250 years
but for each of those and one year more God has smiled upon the Corps… from the Barbary Coast to the Eastern sands
By sword, by gun or bare hand
So it’s been and shall be weighed, though many are born, “few” are made
Faithful always they shall remain
Dogs to loose when was is waged
Thought about JD playin Cheap Trick’s “aint that shame” as he walked out
This fits better
