What if Lincoln doesn't win the election?
That's a good one indeed ...

I think most in Congress who are wealthy were that way at point of entry, or married wealth, or wrote some book.  They stay in office for the power feeling important part.

Interesting read on China's position with the Gaza war.

Seems like just talk and posturing to me.  China is playing to an audience.

While Beijing can exert some influence in Middle East affairs, thanks to its ties with Iran, its “power to shape events in the region is quite limited,” said Nurettin Akçay, a guest researcher at Shanghai University who has studied China-Middle East relations. “The ongoing crisis has presented certain opportunities for China, but it has also underscored the reality that China lacks the required hard power to pursue its objectives.”

Correct. But, in this instance, which country is NOT posturing?

The only thing term limits accomplish is make the Legislature more reliant on Big Lobby than they already are.

A bigger what if: what if the IJN doesn't raid Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941? The biggest Japanese strategic goal in the early going of the war was to keep the US out of it as long as possible. 

It's one thing for the Japanese to bring the war to Hawaii and drop casus belli into our lap. What is the reaction when the Japanese first direct strike is in the Philippines, a place that 9 out of 10 Americans, then and now, couldn't find on a map with both hands?

Ya pelosi,finestein and their ilk dropping their investment portfolio's before the housing market crash and covid.Makes one wonder what other nefarious ways those racketeers compiled their wealth.Always comes in handy once in office they vote themselves lifetime healthcare,never mentioned that on the campaign trail.Yes honest,slow & steady model for capital asset building

What if in the early morning of October 12, 1492, the rowboats of Columbus' fleet were attacked and turned away?  Or the ships attacked and burned?

The first Thanksgiving Day (actually, a three-day celebration) was held in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts after a successful corn harvest by the Pilgrims. Guests included Chief Massasoit of the Wampanoag tribe.

Abraham Lincoln issued the first proclamation for a nationwide celebration in 1863, at the height of the Civil War. He was responding to a decades-long effort by a noted magazine editor and writer, Sara Josepha Hale to launch Thanksgiving as a national holiday. Interestingly, Ms. Hale is best known for authoring the nursery rhyme “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Apparently, “Mary Cooked a Big Turkey” was not as popular.
