Ringing in the 90s: A Birthday Bash for Ron Paul and a Symphony of History!

Today is a big day for Dr. Ron Paul as he celebrates his 90th birthday! Known as the “Libertarian Lion” of Texas, he’s delivered more than just babies—over 4,000 to be exact—as the only OB/GYN in Brazoria County. From holding powerful political positions to standing firm against government overreach, Paul’s life has been a whirlwind of influence and controversies. Who would’ve thought that a country doctor could ignite such debate in Washington, right?

But wait, today isn’t just about Paul! August 20 holds a whole treasure chest of history. Remember Churchill’s stirring tribute to the Royal Air Force? Or how Senegal finally broke free from its Mali federation and declared independence back in 1960? And let’s not forget Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, making its explosive debut in 1882—it’s like a grand fireworks show on steroids! Can you believe that piece is still one of the most performed works today? I mean, nothing wraps up a celebration quite like cannon fire, right?

As Ron Paul blows out his birthday candles, let’s think about one thing: if you could invite any historical figure to your own birthday party, who would it be and why? With all these incredible events on this day, it seems like the perfect theme for a history-inspired bash. So, who’s on your guest list for that party of a lifetime?
