Or, perhaps, 3.0...

This Founding Father and third President of the United States of America...

On the heels of our Independence from one European power, President Thomas Jefferson issued a tacit warning to others...

















Napoleon was kicking ass in Europe...

 

...and Spain's retrocession to France, giving back their French and Indian War booty...

President Jefferson was concerned about this young nation's continued ability to freely navigate the Mississippi River.


History dot com:


 By the middle of the 18th century, France controlled more of the present-day United States than any other European power: from New Orleans northeast to the Great Lakes and northwest to modern-day Montana.


U.S. officials feared that France, resurgent under the leadership of Napoleon Bonaparte, would soon seek to dominate the Mississippi River and access to the Gulf of Mexico. In a letter to U.S. minister to France Robert Livingston, President Thomas Jefferson stated, “The day that France takes possession of New Orleans…we must marry ourselves to the British fleet and nation.”


Livingston was ordered to negotiate with French Finance Minister Barbé-Marbois for the purchase of New Orleans.




"The day that France takes possession of New Orleans, we must marry ourselves to the British..."

 Our Tennessee studs who were leaving the densely populated East for better economic opportunities in the Tennessee Valley breathed a sigh of relief...


They were highly dependent on access to the port in New Orleans.


Like President Trump, President Jefferson recognized the weaknesses of those who would interfere in North America.


Despite Napoleon's rampages in Europe, our commander-in-chief's Spidey Sense was not activated.


You're probably right, Martha.  Look at the much feared Napoleon...


A great representative of a typical Frenchman, Napoleon did not instill fear in anyone.


Except Spain...


Thanks to the French Revolution and execution of the King and Queen, the French Navy was decimated.


The stupid French killed most of the French Navy captains...


The British navy was now King of the Seas.


Or should I say Queen of the Seas...


Fearsome, indeed...

The Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States.

And introduced two more studs, forerunners of some truly remarkable explorers and military men...  


Leading the Corps of Discovery, a select group of U.S. Army and civilian volunteers, were Captain Meriwether Lewis and his close friend Second Lieutenant William Clark.


The Lewis and Clark Expedition.


 

United States Army officers, Lewis and Clark:

    Although 'Manifest Destiny' is associated with Jefferson...

    The term 'Manifest Destiny' was coined in 1844 by the Democrats (before devolution to Demoncrats)

    ...allowing for the annexation of Texas in 1845.  


    Why was the annexation of Texas, prompting the Mexican-American War, so important to the Democrats?


    Yes, Martha, the war that claimed the life of a Tennessee stud and representative to the United States House of Representatives, killed in the Texas Revolution.


    Yet another hero from the Volunteer State...





    Davy Crockett - heroics at the Battle of the Alamo

    My younger son, Dylan, made me so proud when he presented a great Davy Crockett historical perspective to his second grade class. 


    His teacher was highlighting famous Tennessee Volunteers.  She tasked her students to develop a fifteen minute speech, utilizing note cards, for presentation to the class.


    A great costume rental place on Dayton Boulevard in Red Bank provided just what we needed for Dylan's attire.


    With that beautiful coonskin cap, my young stud became the buckskin-clad 'King of the Wild Frontier'.


    I will never forget watching this young man with his presentation and articulation so reminiscent of his mother's skills.


    I'm confident she was looking down in her Overwatch role, adding more beauty to Heaven with her incredible smile...


    Further, he eschewed his note cards.


    As did his big brother, Kris, the year he was declared a top Royal Ambassador at the Tennessee competition at Belmont College.


    As a five year old...


    Those are my boys!!!


    Says the Banty Rooster...




    Jim Bowie the Manly Man from Kentucky...

     Too weak to fight standing, he utilized a pistol and his famed knife before succumbing to the Mexican onslaught.

    James K. Polk - the Democrat elected in 1844...

    I attended Central High School in Columbia, TN, home of the 11th President, as a consequence of my father's selection as part of a most prestigious cadre at the Columbia Military Academy.


    Captain Polk was a member of the Maury County Cavalry in the Tennessee Militia.  


    He was, however, a Democrat lawyer.


    He wanted Texas badly as a slave state.


    Yes, Martha, he loved those black slaves; his plantation in Mississippi added a substantial number of slaves during his presidency.


     The roots of the Demoncrat Party lay in the exploitation of slave labor.


    Not the Republican Party...



     True to his campaign pledge to serve one term (one of the few U.S. presidents to make and keep such a pledge), Polk left office in 1849 and returned to Tennessee, where he died of cholera soon afterward. 


    Hate when that happens...



    President Polk evoked 'manifest destiny'...

    ...in order to justify the 1846 Oregon boundary dispute and the 1845 annexation of Texas as a slave state.



    The operative word...



    Slave.

    The Democrat LBJ:

     President  Lyndon Baines Johnson once said, "I'll have those niggers voting Democrat for 200 years." 


    Despite all the historic revisionism by the Demoncrats, I did, in fact, hear him utter those famous words as he acquiesced to the Republicans and signed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.


    I was ten years old.

    The definitive assertion of 'Manifest Destiny'...

    The Monroe Doctrine

    European colonialism is strictly prohibited in this hemisphere.



    FA and FO...





    That includes the Hawaiian Islands...

     President Monroe had some ideas about these beautiful islands smack in the middle of the Pacific Ocean...

    If any of you Euro assholes disagree...

      

    FAFO

    Understand this: I have plans for Panama...

    And they don't include you...

    He did, indeed...

    Two oceans with which to contend...

    I wager President Monroe didn't quite envision this...

     The Banty Rooster was evident when I wore my Fort Sherman T-shirt sent to me from the Sergeant Major.


    The whole of the ROTC Department -


    The Cadre -


    Every cadet, MS-1  thru  MS-4 -


    knew my much-coveted Jungle Operations  Training Center running attire was due to an incredible soldier, the Commandant of the NCO Academy in Panama, SGM Ted Daw.


    My father...





    The Monroe Doctrine was the penultimate assertion...

    Manifest Destiny 2.0...

     Manifest Destiny on steroids...

    Clean up the mess Carter and Biden gave us...


    Xi's visit highlights Panama's potential as 'gateway to the Americas'...



    https://news.cgtn.com/news/3d3d414f324d444d31457a6333566d54/index.html



    Belt and Road...

     China stomping all over President Monroe's paramount edict...

    Defend against nuclear annihilation...

     

    The Nuclear Umbrella...



    Remember when the filthy Democrats (before their further devolution...) mocked my boss President Ronald Reagan's similar recognition of something to replace the DEW line?


    Dumbass know-nothings, with primary focus on infanticide, wanted also to place the entire United States population under constant threat of vaporization.


    Thank God for his Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).


    God's children in Israel have extended their survival for decades by their advancing the technology President Reagan envisioned.


    The Prince of Persia is always at the gate...




    That includes Greenland...


    The United States Space Force's Northern Hemisphere FOB


     

    Pituffik Space Base




    Those ICBM's won't be coming across the Atlantic or Pacific.


    Even Santa Claus is concerned, as those missiles will come over the polar ice...

    As I remember it during the REFORGER Exercise in 1982...


    Thule Air Base


    These forward-operating soldiers and airmen were separated from their families for a year.


    And in a most hostile environment...


    DoD did what they could to ameliorate the challenges presented these remarkable military service members.


    Outstanding mess facilities and a most delicious variety of food goes a long way in that endeavor...


    Napoleon was correct:


    An army marches on its stomach...


    Also, VHS tapes of the most recent Hollywood productions, before their release to the public, were provided.


    A couple of  years later, I would witness this sort of compensation accorded to Air Traffic Control and Special Forces tactical operation centers on the DMZ.


    No leaving that mountain except in certain circumstances...


    Those insertions and extractions of my tactical dental teams allowed me the opportunity to see, first hand, these Manly Men keeping an eye on the enemy that measured in the millions.


    And just a few clicks away...


    Their isolation increased the appreciation of my BOQ in Yongsan that much more...






    Manifest Destiny 2.0 includes planting the colors on Mars..

    Thanks to Elon Musk...

    Buckle up; we are boarding the Wayback Machine...

    The year 1976

    Biochemistry - God gifted me a most remarkable professor...

     Dr. Thomas Waddell, again, the only individual I have encountered with a photographic memory...


     Chemistry and Physics Emeritus Faculty 


    Dr. Waddell had impressed me on a number of occasions in his and Dr. Ben Gross' Organic Chemistry lectures.


    Presenting such a tortuous complexity as God's chemistry kit in such a manner that college kids can grasp those complexities is no easy task.


    Again, UTC taught real science. 


     Compelling professors were found, not only in the science arena, but also in  Honors classes.


    That moment of Dr. Waddell's incredible memory came to my realization in Organic Chemistry II lab.


    I was tasked to identify the 'unknown' substance that was before me.  


    Those many years ago have blunted the edges of my often-remembered memory of Dr. Waddell's walking through the lab and stopping at my bench.


    "Have you determined your unknown?", he queried.


    I was pretty confident it was Cadmium - no that was General Chemistry lab.


    At any rate, my answer was confirmed by Dr. Waddell with that omnipresent smile.


    As he walked away, I noted he did not have  the notebook containing the 'unknown' assignments to which student.


    And there were more than eighty different unknown assignments for that lab session.


    How could Dr. Waddell know off the top of his head what mine was...


    Yikes!


    Biochemistry further confirmed my determination that this man was clearly gifted.



    And quite the dancer...

    Arriving a few minutes early to Biochem class one day, I noted my otherwise staid and reserved professor just dancing away...

    The first U.S. spacecraft to land on another planet...

    July 20, 1976.


     Viking 1 was the first U.S. spacecraft to land on another planet.



    And Carbon was found...


    And a most energized Dr. Waddell...

    News flash - yesterday, NASA's Unexpected Discovery of The Largest Organics on Mars

     Martha, do you think Dr. Waddell may take notice of this incredible find?


    Possibly fragments of fatty acids.


    Oh my.
