a.k.a. William Harris who was left on what is now Haiti to colonize it and rightfully slaughtered by the true first Americans.

It is said that after the killing a chant could be heard, "Build that wall! Build that wall!!"

Did he like to pee on Russian hookers too?

They have.

You used to be able to buy a Remington 870 for way less than $300.

Recently a British soldier on patrol had something very similar and was confronted by 2 - 3 ISIS.

The Brit walked away.

Ghoolie, after his first week living in Vegas:

Dude, Memphis is hotter than Vegas. I have been in the desert, miles out.......... I will take it ANY DAY versus Memphis heat. Until you experience summer in Memphis, you have no idea what uncomfortable weather is. #1 place in America for respiratory problems. Bad air, morbid humidity, total lack of winds................... I have been to the Middle East...........Memphis is worse.

I would have never guessed that. Interesting stuff.

And before you mention the Vikings, they FOUND America but didn't DISCOVER it. Think about the verb discover: dis-cover. They didn't know they had found another continent and the rest of the world didn't take notice till centuries later. 

What?  The Vikings discovered America period. North America to be specific. 

"They didn't know they found another continent" ?  What are you talking about?

I'm not opening the link, but what I mean is that they FOUND America. But it's like when you meet a place and don't tell anyone. Or when someone finds something in an area (Physics, Medicine). You don't DIS-COVER it until you tell the world.

Italy became a unified nation in 1861.

Garibaldi was such a highly-regarded general that President Lincoln asked him to be a general in Union Army when the American Civil War broke out months later. Garibaldi said he would, under two conditions:

1. He had to be named head of the Union forces

2. Lincoln had to immediately end slavery

Lincoln would have agreed to #1, but not #2 because he didn't want border states to join the Confederacy. Garibaldi refused the offer because he would only fight for the U.S. if it was for a noble cause. Keeping the Union intact was not enough for Garibaldi. When Lincoln two years later signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Garibaldi sent Lincoln a letter telling him that now the war was a noble cause, now the deaths of thousands of men meant something, and that Lincoln will forever go down in history as a righteous man.

Not to add that blacks are shooting up everything at one of the worst crime and murder rates in America. Memphis is an unwiped assshole.

Yep, when does camp start and who is going to give us some first hand accounts? 🥷

All, we're doing now is playing guessing games on who will shine and how well they may play together as offensive and defensive units.

There is some dispute about Columbus even being Italian....or Genoan...  Some say he was really from either the Basque region or Catalan..

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/spain/6326698/Christopher-Columbus-writings-prove-he-was-Spanish-claims-study.html

Aragonian, or Catalonian.

Of course, Italy was united at one time:  it was called The Roman Empire.

Not debating about that humidity.   So, in Memphis you turn into a mass of jelly.....In Vegas, you become mummified.

Discover some history you may not have known:

The Vikings may have made it as far inland as Minnesota.   The Kensington Runestone was found there:
