Clio Unbound

Genealogist & recovering academic historian; focus is the antebellum North & Early Republic. I approach the past as a humble pilgrim, not as a hanging judge.

@Kevin72127362 @ScottTuke @FeserEdward Which administrations? None of them paid the mullahs $300 billion, and none of them depleted our strategic munitions arsenal to this extent….can you explain?

@StephenInd I don’t know if I’ve ever actually acknowledged it, but I deeply appreciate your posts. Thank you!

My parents used to tell me about 'the mad artist' David Hockney, who pushed his pram around Eccleshill loaded with easel and paints. He would have been painting 'Bolton Junction' as it was midway between the homes where they grew up.

@BDSixsmith Very nice.

The British Empire perfected the balance between the Roman and Germanic character – uniting Roman order, discipline, and military prowess with Germanic fervour, industriousness, and fearless exploration.

@StDoritos @zachtakeitback @ryancohen You people are nuts! You probably actually believe that.

@Leemcdade1184 @ScottTuke @Diogenes43055 @Geiger_Capital This is the 250th anniversary of the Constitution and its guarantee of trials for people accused of crimes. And now Trump wants to abolish that. No other president has ever come close. And you’re OK with it? Be careful what you wish for…what goes around comes around…

@Leemcdade1184 @s_gulag @Diogenes43055 @Geiger_Capital What is “just” about taking away the right of an accused person to receive a trial in a court of law? Please clarify, Comrade.

'Dachauerin.' (1879) Wilhelm Leibl's entire career was about capturing the human face; at times concentrated, devoted, contemplative, but always richly expressive, an unashamed straightforwardness with an almost Düreresque clarity.

@MotowarriorX @Bs57Su @OunkaOnX So, Trump started a war without consulting Congress, without consulting our allies, and without even getting intelligence from his own CIA. He screwed up badly….and now it’s everyone else’s fault? Am I following you?
