Remembering Pearl Harbor: 72 Years Ago Today

American Ships Burn in Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941

Throughout my life, I have always noted the date when December 7th rolled around.  It is the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, where 2,403 Americans were killed by bombs or bullets, eight Navy ships sunk and twelve more damaged.

The Japanese Empire had drawn first blood in our war with the Axis Powers in World War II.  They would live to regret it -- or should I say, their survivors would live to regret it.

Seventy-two years have passed since that fateful day in history.  God bless those who died on that day, in that place, and may we never forget them.

Tsunami Waves Hit Stogie Country: Santa Cruz, California

Some high waves caused by Japan's earthquake and tsunami have hit coastal towns in my area. Santa Cruz is an easy drive from my house. Here's a video of some of the damage.

Huge Earthquake in Japan: Caused by "Climate Change"?

A huge earthquake has hit Japan, causing a Tsunami that has flooded parts of the island nation.  Around 300 people were killed.

William Teach is reporting that the "global warming" crowd is trying to blame the earthquake on "climate change."  Yeah, sure.

The earthquake and damage to Japan won't help the economic recovery.  We will no doubt pay millions or billions to help Japan recover.  Obama has sent the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan to Japan to assist recovery and rescue efforts.
