If I had to point to the time when the USA overtook GB as the world's dominant power I would say it was under McKinley and Roosevelt; it went unnoticed at the time, but looking back it would be around then.

Did the bullet in his chest in 1912, which was never removed, contribute to his early death eight years later aged just 60?

What would those 3 great leaders think of todays President Tommy. Please be honest without swearing.

(of course, all women marry beneath them). Marry beneath them, then spend the first few years constantly underneath them. Warrrrr when I was a yung'n.

You mentioned Buffalo at the first Tommy. Do you know how the name came about. I will give you a hint, it had nothing to do with Bison.

The discovery of Niagara Falls is commonly attributed to a French priest, Father Louis Hennepin, who traveled there in 1678 was the first European to document them. Native Americans living in the region were likely the falls' original discoverers.

Father Hennepin was part of a 1678 expedition that traveled to Niagara Falls. After returning to France, Hennepin published an account of his travels in "A New Discovery." The book brought Niagara Falls to the western world's attention, inspiring further exploration of the region.

While Hennepin is given the honor for the discovery of Niagara Falls, Frenchman Samuel de Champlain visited the area as early as 1604 during his exploration of Canada. His journals describe the spectacular waterfalls that his party described to him. There is also some evidence the French Jesuit Father Paul Ragueneau visited the falls in 1643 while working among the Hurons in Canada.

I imagine it was a Beautiful River when the French first seen it. For the French to be in the Buffalo area in 1604 is also something.

Is Aunt Jemima syrup still available?  I don't use syrup so I haven't even thought to look for it in the grocery store.

It's funny that you mention syrup Shula because not 5 minutes ago I took a slug of real Maple syrup right from the bottle it came in. ( A Canadian thing) I let the granddaughter do the same and after the first she had to come back and have another one. Makes you want to go out and cut down a whole forest.

I'm not into pancakes much but most people still use Aunt Jemima as a subtitute syrup for Maple syrup. Still made by Quaker Oats but the bottle has been modernized for today's users by an up-dated Aunt.

Before they changed their name, Creedence Clearwater Revival was The Golliwogs.

Is there no end to this abuse, now she's bad mouthing one of my favourite groups.

As kids we called tadpoles in a group Golliwogs

No wonder all your "facts" are skewed.  They aren't golliwogs, they're polliwogs.

We may have started out on the bottom, Major, but eventually we learned to make it to the top and you all have been under our control since.
