1934 Cartoon- Communism-Marxism Thanks Sarah R!
Subject: Chicago Tribune cartoon 1934, take a closer look this time
| |
It is very important that you closely inspect the 1934 cartoon below. Keep in mind there were Communist and Marxist operatives
in the USA in 1934 when we were in the middle of the Great Depression.
This cartoon was in the Chicago Tribune in 1934.
Look carefully at the Communist’s "Plan of Action" in the lower left corner.

Does this seem familiar?
Remember the adage: "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it."

1995 SEC Final UK-Arkansas- Jeanie and I were there
During the last minutes of the 95 UK-Arkansas final SEC Tournament game, you will see one of the greatest comeback victories for UK. Our good friend, Tom White, gave Jeanie and me tickets for our first SEC Tourney. We have since attended several and met many solid UK fan friends. This game was one of UK's finest and probably Rhoderick Rhodes' worst memories for missing two free throws at the end of regulation, either of which could have won the game. Jeanie thought that my extreme euphoria might cause me to "buy the farm" and I am sure all the younger fans around us thought the same.

UK Fans of the Day Want a Classic UK-Arkansas SEC Tournament Battle
Some of my greatest childhood memories are going to the SEC tournament every March. I got to spend time with my family during these trips and I also saw a lot of great games. One of the greatest games I’ve ever attended was the UK-Arkansas SEC Tournament Final in the Georgia Dome in 1995.
I remember sitting about 10 rows up in the endzone. They were the best seats I’d ever had at a game and I was excited. Much to my dismay, Kentucky fell down 19 points in the first half to the Razorbacks. “Pig Souie” echoed throughout the massive building and Nolan Richardson’s strutted up and down the sidelines in his snakeskin boots. Slowly the tides turned, however, and the Cats stormed back in the second half. Rodrick Rhodes found himself at the line with a chance to give Kentucky the win. He missed and the game went into overtime. In overtime the Cats quickly found themselves down 7 points and a victory looked highly unlikely. But just like in regulation they fought back and cut the deficit to three. That’s where this video picks up. Some highlights to look for:
*The skinniness of Antoine Walker.
*The volume of the crowd.
*The UK uniforms.
*Corliss Williamson making himself at home on the sidelines.
*One of my favorite UK players ever, Anthony Epps, coming up clutch in a huge situation.
*Young Rick Pitino.
*Even younger Dave “Buzz” Baker.
I hope everyone has a safe and snow filled weekend. I’m looking forward to welcoming you all to Nashville in approximately 12 days. Go Cats.
