One of our greatest victories so far has been that we've come to the point where everybody can talk about DEI like it's a pathetic, horrible thing. In a politically correct environment, shouting down DEI is HUGE. I think the other side can't believe how far we've come in so short a time. They still want us to dance around the subject of DEI, using delicate language, trying not to hurt the feelings of DEI hires, but Trump and Trump supporters have CRUSHED that narrative! God bless America!
Last British soldiers evacuate the United States
On November 25, 1783, the last British soldiers evacuate the United States.
The signing of the Treaty of Paris ended hostilities between the United States and Great Britain on September 3, 1783. Sir Guy Carleton, commander of British forces in North America at the time, received orders in August to begin planning the evacuation of all remaining British troops from the United States.
The evacuation plans dragged on because of large numbers of Loyalists descending on New York in a panic to flee the country. Nearly 30,000 Loyalists and escaped slaves left with the British, most ending up in Quebec or Nova Scotia.
General Carleton finally announced the last of the troops would be leaving at noon on November 25th. George Washington waited outside the city until the British left and their flag was removed from a pole at the Battery at the southern end of Manhattan (A battery is a military fortification with guns or cannons). Wiley British soldiers had hoisted their Union Flag on a greased pole on their way out of the city.
Several attempts were made to get the flag down, but were unsuccessful due to the grease. Eventually, American soldier John Van Arsdale was able to climb the pole by nailing pieces of wood to the pole and climbing up on them. He tore the British flag down and replaced it with the American Flag. Shortly after, a triumphant General George Washington entered the city and marched down Broadway to the Battery.
For a hundred years after, Evacuation Day was celebrated around the United States, but especially in New York City. Evacuation Day was New York City's biggest celebration of the year for a century and the evacuation was commemorated with a game of boys competing to take down a Union Flag from a greased flagpole in Battery Park. A descendant of John Van Arsdale would then climb the pole and put up a US Flag.
Once the Civil War came and Abraham Lincoln announced the annual Thanksgiving Day, Evacuation Day celebrations around the country tended to be absorbed by Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Evacuation Day was eventually lost because the date of November 25 was so close to the Thanksgiving date of the last Thursday of the month. The annual celebrations continued in New York, however, until World War I, at which time people seemed to lose their animosity toward Britain after its allied cooperation with the United States during the war.

"to be clear. the story was way more legendary than that. WSJ wrote it up years ago.
the palm beach social elite hated trump because he was "new money" and he was the first to allow blacks and jews into the elite social scene of palm beach. the socialites looked for anything they could find that trump might possibly be violating, and the only thing they could get to stick was the ordinance violation for the pole being too tall. they fined him a shitload of money, eventually took him to court to make him pay it because he told them to bug off, and the settlement was that he'd pay the money, but not to the city… he'd give it to veterans' charities. he also agreed to make his flagpole compliant with the municipal law.
read that again. he didn't say he'd lower the pole. he said he'd make it compliant with municipal law. so AFTER the settlement, he took the pole out, the trucks rolled in and dumped a huge pile of dirt, the pole was replanted, sod laid, and flag replaced. the ground was raised so much that the pole was now in compliance with the law, even though the top of the pole was now 10 feet taller than it used to be."
kek, great idea!
