Here is a young Abraham Lincoln kicking the crap out of Governor Tim Walz in a crazy time warp with Cappy in the background. Not enjoying it so much here is anti-American Representative Ilhan Omar, domestic abuser Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and the little Commie weasel mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey. Cheering on Lincoln is GOP Republican Jeremy Munson (23B) and GOP U.S. Senate candidate Jason Lewis. Hereβs a fun fact about Lincoln - he was quite the wrestler as a young man - according to Carl Sandburg, he only lost once in 300 matches and enjoyed talking smack. After winning a match, he once challenged a crowd of onlookers with this, βIβm the big buck of this lick. If any of you want to try it, come on and whet your horns.β There were no takers. Heβs even in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame!
While at Harvard, Teddy Roosevelt was a boxer. Even in his later years as Governor of New York, he trained and grappled with the middleweight wrestling champ Jim Dwyer. Later as President, he wrestled Sumo wrestlers and even boxed until he took a blow that left him blind in one eye, and he finally quit. Cappy and Teddy met when TR was looking for a trainer. Here he is trying to get TR to chase a chicken to increase his speed.
Ever wonder where Burgess Meredith got his inspiration for his character Mickey in the Rocky movies? Now you know!
Cappy and Teddy did a lot together!
