Absolutely gigantic demonstration in support of Palestine tonight in Barcelona.
Media don't want you to see this and politicians across the West are trying to make this illegal.

A historic crime is unfolding in Gaza & the EU is in it up to its neck. MEPs sit & watch the slaughter & cannot even condemn it, calling it a "humanitarian crisis," as if it was caused by the weather.
Infamy. EU will never live down the shame of today's resolution. #LongLiveGaza

Lindsey Graham in 2015: “Donald Trump is not going to be the nominee of the Republican Party. If he is, that's the end of the Republican Party.”
Lindsey Graham now: “This is the party of Donald Trump if you think otherwise you're in for a rude awakening.”
Rudy Giuliani claims that he didn't admit to lying in his defamation suit, but instead chose not to contest the allegations in an effort to fast-track his case to the Supreme Court.
Jim Thorpe, a celebrated Native American athlete hailing from Oklahoma, achieved fame as an Olympic Gold medalist and is often regarded as one of the greatest athletes in history. In 1912, he represented the United States in the Olympics held in Sweden, where he was joined by future General George Patton as a teammate.
Before conquering the three-day decathlon, encompassing ten track and field events, Thorpe had already secured a gold medal in the pentathlon with remarkable ease. However, during the second day of the decathlon, just before the 1500 meters race, Thorpe encountered a setback – his shoes had disappeared, likely stolen. In a desperate search for a solution, he turned to his teammates and managed to find an extra shoe, though it was too small. Nevertheless, he squeezed his foot into it. He then stumbled upon the other shoe in a trash bin, which, conversely, was too big for him. To make it fit, he ingeniously padded it with a couple of pairs of socks.
Undeterred by this footwear predicament, Thorpe faced off against the world's finest decathletes and remarkably won the 1500 meters race. During the decathlon, he demonstrated his exceptional talent by securing first place in four events and finishing no lower than fourth in the remaining six events, all while wearing mismatched shoes. Consequently, he clinched yet another gold medal.
Upon receiving the prestigious accolades, King Gustav V of Sweden bestowed two Olympic gold medals upon Thorpe and declared him the world's greatest athlete. Graciously, Thorpe replied with a simple "Thanks."
After the Olympics, this versatile athlete pursued an illustrious career, excelling in various sports. He ventured into the National Football League as a two-time All-American college football player, briefly played professional basketball, and enjoyed a fruitful seven-season stint in Major League Baseball. Thorpe's legacy as an extraordinary athlete and his inspiring feat with the mismatched shoes have left an indelible mark on the world of sports.

In the early 1900s, the shortage of rubber and the challenges associated with filling tires with air during the First World War led to a significant need for alternative solutions. In response to this problem, German engineers devised a groundbreaking invention in 1916—a steel spring tire.
The tire was specifically designed by the Germans to address the scarcity of rubber and the unreliable nature of traditional rubber tires. Their goal was to create a tire that not only offered a viable alternative to rubber but also provided enhanced reliability, particularly for military vehicles that required robust and durable tire solutions.
The innovative steel spring tire was first implemented on a Protos vehicle, showcasing its potential for military applications. The tire design incorporated a series of steel springs arranged in a circular pattern, which replaced the conventional rubber construction. These springs were strategically placed to provide both support and flexibility, allowing the tire to withstand the rigorous demands of military operations while offering improved traction on various terrains.
One of the key advantages of the steel spring tire was its resistance to punctures and damage, which significantly reduced the need for constant maintenance and tire replacements. This attribute made it particularly attractive for military vehicles operating in challenging environments, such as battlefields or rough terrain.
Furthermore, the German engineers believed that the steel spring tire's performance would not be affected by adverse weather conditions, a common issue with traditional rubber tires. The tire's unique design was expected to maintain its reliability and functionality even in extreme temperatures, making it well-suited for military campaigns in diverse climates.
While the steel spring tire initially gained attention due to its potential military applications, there was also significant interest in its civilian use. The tire's durability and puncture resistance made it an attractive option for commercial vehicles, especially those that frequently traveled on rough roads or encountered sharp debris.
Although the steel spring tire demonstrated promise, the end of the First World War and subsequent developments in rubber technology led to a shift back towards traditional rubber tires. Rubber became more accessible again, and advancements in tire manufacturing techniques and materials improved the reliability and performance of rubber tires. As a result, the steel spring tire gradually faded from use, becoming a fascinating but short-lived chapter in the evolution of tire technology.
Nonetheless, the German engineers' ingenuity in developing the steel spring tire during a time of resource scarcity and technological challenges remains a testament to human innovation and adaptability in the face of adversity.
