On December 7th 1941, Japan made a surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor. The next day — the then President of the United States Of America FDR — Franklin Delano Roosevelt, when addressing Congress and all Americans, called the terrible surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor of Hawaii, USA: ‘’The Day Of Infamy ‘’

According to Google, over 2,500 people were killed in the Pearl Harbor Japanese surprise attack — and about 1,000 people were wounded.

On January 6, 2021 the United States Of America’s White House, Washington D.C. was attacked by untold numbers of “Insurrection” people –- mostly seemingly to be quite younger people.

The quoted number of Americans killed in D.C. due to the January 6th “insurrection” was five.

In my mind both the December 7, 1941 attack AND the January 6th 2021 are each a ‘’Day Of Infamy.’’

What do you recall — or even know for certain –- that the then president of America, said regarding the attack by any Americans –- against other Americans? And attacking the United States’ own Capitol.
