Happy Pearl Harbor Day, Everybody!
Hurley the Historian says tomorrow’s the 75th Anniversary of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, or as the Obama Administration is calling it, “the Asian Spring,” and The Blower will be trying to ignore political correctness running amok during the 45 Days of Dishonesty and Division for America remaining during the Dark Ages of Obama’s Second Term, unless the First Black President in History is impeached.
Now just imagine Obama’s blamestream news coverage if that Pearl Harbor attack happened today.
Maybe that’s why our Quote for Today Committee chose Diane Watson’s “The parallels between 9/11 and Pearl Harbor are striking. In each instance there were warning signs before the attack, and in each instance our government failed to connect the dots.”
That’s why Obama’s failure to protect America from ISIS is even more striking.
The Washington Post says when Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe goes to Pearl Harbor for a photo-op with Obama later this month, he’ll be the first Japanese leader to visit the site of the attack on Hawaii 75 years ago that thrust the United States into World War II. The joint trip comes after Obama went to Hiroshima with Abe in May, making him the first sitting American president to visit the city where the United States dropped the first of two atomic bombs in 1945 to force Japan’s surrender. Abe said Monday that he will visit Hawaii on Dec. 26 and 27 to “pay tribute” to military personnel from both sides of the Pacific who died during the war. About 2,000 Americans were killed in the Pearl Harbor attack. “This visit is to comfort the souls of the victims. We’d like to send messages about the importance of reconciliation” between the two countries, Abe told reporters in Tokyo.
Although Abe is returning the favor that Obama did for him by visiting Hiroshima, the Pearl Harbor visit could smooth the way for Abe to build a strong relationship with the incoming Trump administration, Seaman said. “We assess that Trump and his team will applaud the visit,” he said. Abe was the first foreign leader to meet with President-elect Donald Trump last month in New York. Tokyo has been alarmed by Trump’s rhetoric on trade and security, and Abe said afterward that he had “a very candid discussion” with him.
