Pearl Harbor day!
Recommend this documentary about FDR’s actions in the 24 hours after the attack. It is a master class in leadership.

CNN's Jake Tapper DEFENDS Trump amid accusations president fell asleep during Cabinet meeting
By ALEX HAMMER
CNN's Jake Tapper offered a surprise defense of Donald Trump after the president appeared to doze off several times during his final Cabinet meeting of the year on Tuesday.
Tapper, 56, broached the subject on Tuesday's episode of The Lead, landing some shots on the commander in chief while acknowledging that his age and late-night habits may have played a role.
'Now we should say if he was falling asleep, maybe he was a bit tired from all that time online last night where he was re-Truthing quite a bit between 7:20pm and midnight, 158 posts and reposts to be exact, ranging from criticisms of Democrats to criticisms of immigrants to conspiracy theories from Alex Jones,' he stated.
…
‘ Look, he’s 79 years old. I mean, like, this is not abnormal for a 79-year-old to be sleepy.'
