The Crusades were launched after seven centuries of constant Islamic aggression. Before the very first crusade was launched in 1095, Muslims had invaded the following Christian lands.
They had invaded Christian Syria, Christian Jordan, Christian Palestine, Christian Egypt, Christian Algeria, Christian Libya, Christian Morocco, Christian Portugal, Christian Spain, Christian France, Christian Sicily, Christian Turkey, Christian Armenia, Christian Italy. All before the first crusade.
The crusades are a legitimate response to Islamic aggression and Islamic violence.
Go into the weekend smiling. This bit from @natebargatze on SNL is an all-timer. He did the impossible and made SNL do actual comedy.

In 1942, an American shipyard built a 441-foot cargo ship in 4 days, 15 hours, and 29 minutes.
Not started. Not assembled from a kit. Built, from the laying of the keel to sliding into the water.
At the time, German U-boats were sinking Allied ships faster than Britain could replace them.
So America responded by building ships on a scale the enemy could never match.
This is the story of the Liberty ships..🧵1/6

Before the libs decide to try and create their own definition of what Juneteenth is, allow me to help you all out with a short history lesson.
It’s the day when black individuals found out that the first Republican President had signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing them from the physical bondage of the Democrat Party. It was two years later, on July 4th 1867, that 150 of those same Black men met in Houston and established the Republican Party of Texas. The Democrats, in response, established the Ku Klux Klan.
Today, the Democrats are economically enslaving Blacks and have turned inner city communities into modern plantations of welfare and economic dependence.
Juneteenth is a celebration of why the Republican Party was established in 1854, the abolition of slavery. Only a flaming incompetent idiot would give the party of the donkey any credit for Juneteenth.
Hope this helps!
All of America watching Euros rave about Waffle House, Chilis apps, buying Combos at a rural gas station, floating the Chattahoochee, and ranch dressing on the internet:
They took a B-17 that had been left for scrap, rebuilt it by hand, and bolted on so many extra machine guns it became one of the most heavily armed bombers in the Pacific.
Then they volunteered for a solo mission over enemy territory that few crews wanted.
Its tail number was 666.
This is the story of the Eager Beavers..🧵1/7
On this day in 1943, a thousand starving Japanese soldiers ran screaming out of the fog on a frozen Alaskan island, bayonets lashed to broken sticks, to die.
The island was Attu, the westernmost tip of the Aleutian chain. It was the only piece of North American soil the Japanese had captured in the entire war. The Americans had been trying to take it back for nineteen days in the worst conditions either side had ever fought in: freezing rain, knee-deep mud, fog so thick a man could not see his own rifle, and tundra that swallowed boots and never gave them back.
The Japanese garrison was down to 800 men. They had no food left. No medicine. No way off the island. They had been told no rescue was coming.
Their commander was Colonel Yasuyo Yamasaki, a 51 year old career officer who had been on Attu for less than three weeks. On the night of May 28, he gathered every man who could still hold a weapon. This included his wounded. Those who could not walk were shot or given grenades. Those who could limp were given anything that could stab. Some had bayonets. Some had bayonets lashed to ski poles. Some had bayonets lashed to tent stakes.
Then he led them straight at the American line in the dark.
It was the largest banzai charge of the Pacific war up to that point.
They came through a gap in the fog at 3:30 AM, completely silent until they were inside the American positions. Then they screamed. They overran the front line in minutes. They overran the artillery batteries behind it. They reached the field hospital and butchered the wounded in their cots. They got within a hundred yards of the American command post before they were finally stopped by a scratch force of engineers, cooks, military police and walking wounded who fired at point blank range until their rifles were too hot to hold.
When the sun came up, the snow on the slope was carpeted with bodies.
The Americans counted 500 dead Japanese on the ground in front of them. Then they began finding the rest. Almost all of the remaining defenders had killed themselves with grenades held against their chests. American soldiers walking the field afterward described finding small groups of three or four men curled in a circle, their bodies folded around the same grenade.
Out of a Japanese garrison of nearly 2,900, the Americans took 28 prisoners.
It was the second highest American casualty rate of any battle in the Pacific war, after Iwo Jima.
Almost no one in the United States has heard of it.
