OT: White smoke, new pope

[hinson32]

AHHH, you should really do some research on the MULTIPLE military parades that have taken place in this country throughout our history. The Grade Review after the Civil War, which took 2 days, 1942 a military parade took place in NYC followed by another taking place in the same city in 1945. In 1991 D.C. had one. These are only 4 examples. Why is McGuire allowed to have an open house May 17th - 18th of this year displaying aircraft and having The Thunderbirds perform? This isn't the 1st time they have done this. Are you against that also? Now there are people including myself who had family members in the army and feel it is GREAT to have this parade to honor them and the 250th birthday of the men and women who help protect us but because your TDS is acting up you are saying that this is all about President Trump? Please provide your evidence. My Father, and 2 uncles are waiting for your response.

It's great that it falls on his birthday. What a coincidence

We'll have to see how the new Pope works out, but it seems to me that his long experience in both the First World and the Third World makes him uniquely qualified to lead a Church that has so many members in each. Though I am not now and never have been a Catholic, I wish him every success.

This a reason the Vatican wanted a yank - "show me the money!."
