I'm tired of all your JFK pictures. How about some Ronald Reagan pictures?

it was natural that there would be so many given the exertion by the occupier to plant so many of their own
with which to get reluctant people to get on board
on what was deemed good for them. A people who played some for favor - but overall they can thank St patrick for giving them backbone for a bunch of centuries to resist..
Planting the black irish worked miracles on the slicing and dicing of identities as in scot-irish - proddy - rc
republican - ulstermen crap - and on it goes. The queen
is showing up as her victoria did in the height of the famine. Queenstown (Cobh the exit point for her subjects)- we need another rename for a place yet to be worthy.
