We’ve had a very hot and sticky summer so far here in the Midwest, with record breaking temperatures and unusually dry weather reeking havoc across the middle part of the United States. However, there was a day in Death Valley, California on this day, back in 1913 that was so hot that it actually melted […]
When this day happened, it was a very controversial move by Bud Selig. The Commissioner of baseball deciding to end the All-Star game in a tie in the eleventh inning in 2002 was looked at as one of the biggest blunders in the history of baseball at the time. It also made everyone realize just […]

It was a bitter day for Native Hawaiians on this day in 1898 when President William McKinley signed the Newlands Resolution, annexing Hawaii as a territory of the United States.

I would assume we probably have many of them spinning in their graves. I, myself, am one to believe we ALL […]
On this day in 1863, the battle that would be considered the turning point to the Civil War, would end. The Battle of Gettysburg would only last three days, with Confederate forces running very low on ammunition, they would retreat and this battle seemed to take the life out of the Confederate Army. Three and […]
The world would lose one of the most prolific minds of its day on this date in 1566, when Nostradamus, (born Michel de Nostredame), would pass away in France. By the time he passed away, he was locally known as a healer, supposedly coming up with a “rose pill” that would protect you from the […]
Ah yes, the dreaded income tax. We are all well aware on how much money this takes out of our take-home every pay. Amazing that the politicians in Washington can sleep at night knowing that they are actually spending more than what we’re giving to them. Now, after years of undisiplined spending and countless bad […]
