Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-05-30 11:33:05Copy HTML Proclaimed a Saint in 1920. Once the English were driven out of France (except for Calais) the French set about overturning the verdict against her, this was achieved in 1456. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Congress passed the Equal Opportunity Credit Act, now women were not denied credit, mortgages, even driver's licenses without a male co-signor. Congresswoman Lindy Boggs was the main driver of this law & her name is almost unknown today. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-05-30 09:00:54Copy HTML That's probably a good thing, Tom. Otherwise, today every woman driver would be called a "Lindy". She is also the mother of Cokie Roberts.

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-05-31 08:05:02Copy HTML The figure for pub closures since the labour party got in and hiked the cost through the roof has just topped 500. 500 community based businesses have closed their doors due to the massive increase in their overheads since labour got in. It appears the labour party are determined to read the country of them altogether. Hundreds of pubs have now banned all labour MP’s from entering their premises. What a despicable bunch of clowns the socialists are, they have always hated our history and traditions. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-05-31 10:56:55Copy HTML Never heard of either. Perhaps you have heard of Hale Boggs, Mark. He was the Majority Leader of congress from Louisiana during the Warren Commission (Kennedy Assassination). He was on a small plane in Alaska that went missing & it was never found. Boggs was declared dead months later & Lindy Boggs, his wife took his place in congress. Cokie Roberts is a news maven over here. |

Re：ON THIS DATE Date Posted：2026-05-31 12:59:42Copy HTML 31 May 1915. The first air raid on London. The Germans had sporadically bombed the English east and south east coast since December 1914. The first attack on London was by the German Army airship LZ38. Seven were killed and 35 injured in the east of the city and an RFC pilot was killed in a landing crash. The LZ38 returned safely to Germany. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Joe Sedelmaier went to the Great Beyond at age 92. Who is he you ask? The adman who directed more than 1,000 T.V. commercials & won more than 50 Clio awards, his industry's highest honor. Perhaps you will remember the Wendy's commercial where the old lady stares at a skimpy meat burger & asks............"Where's The Beef?" Or maybe the Soviet fashion show...............where a dumpy lady dressed in a sack parading on a stage modeling "Evening Vear Very Nice" & then wearing the same sack............"Svim Vear Very Nice." |
