they detail everything on board down to the exact times. have one from august 30, 1945 that bears a line written in it by the ship's second in command that is iteratively telling -- is incredibly telling and bears the weight of what is about to happen in a few day's time. we have the energy and strength to put on a glorious show for the grand finale. if each of us does all he can in this last push, then when our grandchildren gather around and say, grandpap, what did you do during the great war? we will all answer simply, i was on the missouri. the uss missouri is bow to bow with the uss arizona. fororld war ii, the star the americans was the attack on pearl harbor. for americans and the rest of the world, the final end of world war ii was that surrender ceremony aboard the missouri. by having the missouri sitting in pearl harbor, we have the bookends of world war ii. the beginning on the arizona and the end on the missouri. as she sits bow to bow with the arizona, the uss missouri's guns stand watch over that ship over the soldiers forever

he was actually a servant of a governor who was on board the ship. he fell overboard during the 66 days crossing the atlantic, but managed, miraculously, to grab a rope and put himself back on board. if he hadn't done that, then george w. bush and george bush would never have existed because they're descendants of harrigan. some of these guys, if we could make these avatars tell their story, how fantastic that would be. so there we're going into the stern of the ship. that's the -- that particular structure there, which is designed to really be able to pull in wires and ropes and to be able to secure the ship and secure various pieces of cobble coming onto the ship, this is the main deck. that's called a capstan. if you go to what would be the tiny captain's cabin, on the left you can see the stake on the left. that was a very small -- relatively small stake that controlled the rudder. that controlled the steerage of the ship, then you have the captain's cabin, obviously the best cabin on the ship. he had his own little bed. this is where we believe

that is news just no—one was on board. that is newsjust in. as no—one was on board. n comparison to recent mornings, thursday gets off to a relatively mild to start but not very inspiring skies for the majority first thing. a lot of cloud around, gloomy, and we will be stuck with that cloud in many areas throughout the course of the day. it‘s courtesy of an area of low pressure, a big area of low pressure which actually is a combination of smaller low pressure centres — one to the south—west of the uk this morning could bring some showery rain in here. the tail end of another one to the north—west will, i think, bring some more persistent rain through the course of the day into western scotland, gradually tracking it a little further eastwards. some showers will push across wales into the north—west of england as the day pans out as well. the best chance of any brightness probably in a few sheltered eastern spots across east anglia stretching up into lincolnshire. temperatures around average at best, typically 8—9, perhaps 11 for plymouth. but look towards the west an

are y'all just getting on board because this is what we get on board now? 17 republican-controlled states have now joined this effort, alongside texas and alongside president trump, to have the election results thrown out from all the swing states that voted for biden. 17 states -- alabama, arkansas, florida, indiana, kansas, louisiana, mississippi, missouri, montana, nebraska, north dakota, south dakota, oklahoma, south carolina, tennessee, utah, west virginia. they're all joining this texas effort to literally just try to get the conservative justices on the supreme court to throw out the election results that say biden won, and instead, say trump won. their stated reasoning can basically be boiled down to, hmm, something seems fishy to us. y'all ought to look into this. as of today, all 50 u.s. states have certified their election results. the certified results from all 50 states show that joe biden got 306 electoral votes. he won by a very large, comfortable margin. he only needed 270 electoral votes to win. he got 306. every state has certified. it's o

on a u.s. exchange if they have failed to comply with u.s. public accounting oversight boards audits for 3 years in a row so essentially the idea here is that if you're going to be on a u.s. exchange you have got to have the u.s. agency doing audits to make sure that everything's on the up and up it's not just the chinese bill it does focus on other countries as well but this one's been a little bit tailored toward china and it sounds like at as much has recently against china and bipartisan so so interesting enough but this bill does go a little bit further than many other bills dealing with secular nation because it also focuses like you said specifically on communist party affiliation right yet that's the part of it i think that stands out the most to me and probably to a lot of people out there right because what the congress is asking for is that this would also require if it signed into law that essentially if you have any communist party officials on your corporate board or have any shares owned by a government entity in china or a communist party official now that's pr
