The Day That Will Live in Infamy

By Rich Kozlovich

This is December 7th isn't it?  At 72 I can get confused, but my calander says it's December 7th, so it must be December 7th.  That is Pearl Harbor Day, isn't it?  I'm not confused am I?

Every day I peruse any number of news sources, both conservative and not so conservative, and this morning, December 7th, I didn't see one article to link regarding the infamous attack by the Empire of Japan against the United States at Pearl Harbor. Nothing in Drudge, American Thinker, Townhall or CNS.  Is it possible these conservative sites don't know December 7th is Pearl Harbor day?  Of course with the failure of our public education system, maybe they don't know about it!

There was a lot about identity politics, a comedian who is homophobic, Ocasio-Cortez (I think she's going to he a headline every day now. No one that publicity hungry and that stupid can be ignored) and a whole lot of media clabber, but nothing about Pearl Harbor.  Must be a new PC racial profiling thing.  Wouldn't want to offend the people who perpetrated all sorts of human atrocities during the 1930's and 40's, would we?

At any rate, here's some history for your perusal!  Some of the conclusions presented here are flawed in my opinion but the event is well covered.

Updates: 

I will now apologize to American Thinker. They at least posted one article although initially I missed it.  I also didn't check American Spectator. Both are listed below.
  • 77 Years Ago, A Date That Still Lives in Infamy - What would the snowflakes of today do if Pearl Harbor happened this morning?............
  • This Is No Drill -The horrid surprise of December 7 never goes away. The first bomb fell a little before morning colors and by the time the attack was over, less than three hours later, the U.S. Navy had lost almost all of what it considered its capital ships. These were the battleships, one of which had blown up when a Japanese bomb penetrated a magazine where powder for the ship’s main batteries was stored. What is left of the U.S. Arizona still lies on the bottom, in the mud of Pearl Harbor. There is a monument built over the ship’s ruined hull, with the names of her dead — 1,117 of them — inscribed on one wall. You can look down into the water and see the spectral outline of the ship’s hull. It is a tomb, of sorts, holding the remains of 1,102 of those Arizona dead. Small red and blue ribbons, made by oil still leaking from the ship’s bunkers, drift in the water over the ship’s carcass..............
