CELEBRATION BUT THIS IS THE BEGINNING--AHEAD A CATASTROPHE--HOW DOES MAYOR MOLLY AND CAT SOPHIA HANDLE WHAT LIFE HANDS OUT

Fashionista Mayor Molly McMole Well, not so much, she wears a red sportcoat with a blue skirt. Here she is celebrating her new friendship with Cat Sophia and her mole tribe has on their designer dresses. Little does she and Cat Sophia know that they are going to meet a villian, travel to a new home,go to Europe and zig zag back to Hawaii before landing again in the USA, Your youngsters will learn somethings in each of Strieby's book and she makes me a real heroine that I'm sincerely grateful. AND along the way you will meet my ancestor Christopher McMole, long gone from this world, but he was a Master Spy for Commander George Washington and witnessed a strong relationship with black Warrant Officer Mr. Billy Lee, the best horseman in the Colonies, fought with Washington for 8 years with no I-phoine, computer--and beat Commander Cornwallis who at the end was hiding in his redoubt as Frenchman Admiral De Grasse was smashing the British masts with his 24 ships at Yorktown. Were you taught this in school? Bet Not. Thank you Lorraine strieby for casting the true brave forefathers who were sorely overlooked by our history. Well, I ended up in a high school football field and helped a losing coach in Strieby's 6th book, Football Handbook. Bye for now. Come on, Cat Soophia I hear the roar of the crowd. Let's take a bow!

THE POLYNESIANS DISCOVERED AMERICA LONG BEFORE COLUMBUS, THE CHUMASH INDIANS ARE POLYNESIAN, (DID YOU LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL?)

NAVIGATORS--EXTROIDINAIRE IN STRIEBY'S children's book, Mayor Molly McMole Follows the Sun," she adds some history about how the Polynesians discovered Hawaii. These sailors surpassed the Europeans in their navigation expertise with their double and triple hulled canoes. One of the older polynesians who knew the stars was the naviagor. They had paddles and sails and even discovered Easter island and the West Coast of America. The Chumash Indians are Polynesian and the Polynesians discovered America long before Columbus--perhaps 3000 years before. Did you learn this in school? Probably not. Signal Hill in Long Beach was a way of the Chumash to communicate with the off-shore islands.

HISTORY MYSTERY--WHO WAS THE SWAMP FOX'S AIDE WHO WAS AWARDED BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH IN 2006 F0R BEING AN AFRICAN -AMERICAN PATRIOT

WHY?? TWO BLACK FOREFATHERS YOU KNOW BY NOW--that I talk about our patriot and forefather Mr.Billy Lee, in at least 6 paintings with Commander George Washington, including the soldier behind Washington Crossing the Delaware and Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard talking about him in his book KILLING ENGLAND, Mr. Billy Lee led the troops with Washington. Yes, did you learn this in school? Have you heard of the Swamp Fox--probably, movies made about him. Have you heard of Oscar Marion? Oscar was the black brother of Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. War hero that drove the British nuts. The Swamp Fox and Oscar Marion would attack with their troops in Georgia and later disappear into the swamp. In a ceremony President George Bush honored Oscar Marion as an African American Patriot who fought 8 years in the American Revolution right alongside his brother, Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox. These men deserve to be recognized and taught as heroes in our schools. Do students in school today learn about these black heroes? Bet not... Thank uou Tona Jones for doing the research and President Bush. #americanhistory #swampfox #crt #swampfox #mrbillylee #georgewashington #oscarmarion #generalfrancismarion #historyclass #blackpatriots #americanrevolution' #francismarion #georgiaswamp

FOOTBALL HANDBOOK by Lorraine Strieby aka Mayor Molly McMole

Football Handbook is helpful in that it teaches some of the basic rules using a surprise technique--a fun read, and me as Mayor Molly McMole likes to solve problems. Well, I found a problem in my new mole hole underneath a high school bleacher where we dug in--meaning a mole hole that was going to be undetected. You know we are a sneaky bunch--built our town under this nice flat grassy field, which to our shock happened to be a football field and the head coach had a losing streak--three straight years. Well, with help of my friend and cohort, Cat Sophia, there was a surprising adventure into football lore. Strieby's sixth book is she showing off her knowledge of football--I better quit this typing now because I hear her car in the driveway. Bye for now, mole hole here I come.

INDEPENDENCE DAY, ROLLS AROUND EVERY 4TH OF JULY---CAN'T FORGET OUR FOREFATHERS AND HISTORY-- A YEARLY REMINDER

Lorraine Strieby says Happy Independence Day! Our forefathers when they signed the Declaration of Independence,they knew if Commander George Washington didn't win the war with England, the most powerful country in the world, they would be tried for treason. It took 5 more years to win the war making our nation truly an independent nation. Our original states and the people therein wanted freedom from tyrany. Have we forgotten our history and our men and women who fought for our freedom? In keeping with this, here are some words that President Reagan spoke on January 5, 1967: tThe deteriation of every government begins with the decay of the principle upon which it was founded, He also said Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. Im glad Independence Day rolls around every year, Yea! we can't forget our history and our forefathers. In keeping with that, the USA is also a REPUBLIC meaning that we the public elect our representives in each individual state--both large and small, two senators each. Clever, yes? The smaller states have equal power with the more populated states. Independence Day rolls around every year,reminding us of how our ancestors made a free nation. our forefathers, and our history. AKA Mayor Molly McMole

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY - HISTORY MYSTERY - WHEN WAS THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR WON, HINT it wasn't July 4th, 1776

IMG_3377.JPG History Mystery—Benjamin Franklin was 😎 Cool When our forefathers signed The Declaration of Independence they could be executed for defying the most powerful country in the world. They had guts—yes… We didn’t win our independence yet. Washington was in NYC with our troops. The forefather Franklin (below) helped win the war. Washington had a plan—we will get them in Yorktown and it took him 5 years 1781. Franklyn went to France to visit the Royal Court. The ladies thought he was cool. There he got France to join us by delivering 24 ships and an admiral De Grasse and the biggest gun ship in the world. Cornwallis didn’t have a clue and the Brits were humiliated at Yorktown. Washington and Warrant Officer black Billy Lee were there to meet and greet Cornwallis but he was cowering in his Redoubt Get the message. “And the rockets red glare” That was De Grasse taking out the Brit’s’ ships with rockets! Bet you weren’t taught this in school. Lorraine Strieby AKA Mayor Molly McMole NOTE: Franklin always wore his coonskin hat with his uniform and the French ladies thought he was charming 😎 and cool.
