It really doesn’t matter with this guy actually says it’s his voice that shrieks the hell out of my ears. I don’t know how people listen to him.

Yea, but also it anchors “our” currency as the base currency for all (most 🙄) transactions. So, you can buy more bushels of wheat if they’re traded using “your” currency…

He was born in Denison Texas on October 14, 1890. He grew up and lived in Adeline Kansas. He graduated from West Point in 1915 and married his wife Mamie Daud who was born in Idaho but raised in Colorado, both Pueblo and Denver. When he had coronary bypass surgery at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center located in Aurora Colorado in 1955 he and the family would stay at The Brown Palace Hotel in downtown Denver and people would come from all around to wish him well. He was quite a man and those were striking quotes of his wisdom.

All I can think of is the last of the great writers may be lost by now especially with the advent of AI.

Perfect. 🤩 Hey, remember when being President of the United States was an honored position? When having served your country in the military was a must to be elected? When it was looked upon, not just by its citizens, but by other leaders of nations around the world as something to be taken seriously? …I remember. It hasn’t been this for quite some time, now; particularly from 2016-2020 and now more recently. 🥺

Nobody listened. And now we are doubling down and cheering NATO countries are greatly increasing their defence spending. All is forgotten.

thank you for reading the words of President Eisenhower. He, unlike what we have now, was a wise man and patriotic President.
