The Annual Admiral Of The Ocean Sea Appreciation Post

— compiled by Wombat-socho As usual, the senile fool in the Oval Office tried to have it both ways, issuing proclamations celebrating both Columbus Day (yay) and Indigenous Peoples Day (F*** Joe Biden) and inevitably annoying just about everybody.

The Fall Harvest of Books
