    Operation Pastorious - What really happened out there on Amagansett Beach

    Capt. Linder took the Rio Tercero Log Book to cover up the sinking and then they were going to machine gun the survivors. 37 survivors saw the machine guns come out. It was a miracle the plane arrived when it did and stopped that from happening. Crazy what happened off NY and NJ during the war.

    Read the U202 Interrogation report again- survivors of the SS Rio Tercero saw the name Innsbruck in white letters on the Conning tower of U202 . So they did surface and came real close where they could read that name.

    Hunter Harassment

    More than anything it's to protect those protestors from being shot. The only anti hunting reactions most of us will experience are when we come home with a deer on the back of our cars. One time I was coming home from an Upstate hunt, I think it was the first deer my family ever shot . We...

    St Johns Basketball

    St. John's might fall out of the Top 25 and Seton Hall gets in the Top 25. Very depressing they haven't beat a top 25 team this season with all that talent. Team hasn't meshed yet , I hope they turn this season around. No doubt they'll blow Seton Hall away .The team is demoralized with no...
