"If it had been known in 1933 that events would come to such a head, Hitler would never have been elected."
— A German in March 1945
We need to remember that even Hitler was democratically elected.
Elon Musk says he believes in the principles of Chirstianity and is a cultural Christian. For him to tell Christians how they should feel about anything is laughable in my opinion. 😀
No, it wasn't staged by Trump. No it wasn't Hillary. Why would we believe social influencers and bloggers whose sole goal is to get our attention? No one planning this would rely on a 20 year old who just graduated from HS last year! Tragic that someone died 💔 🇺🇸
@929TheGame my Mom and Dad watched the Braves every night that they were on. We took my Dad to see a game 2 weeks before he passed. Huge fans. But now, my 82 year old LISTENS to the Braves on the radio because she cannot get them on TV. It was easier to watch them in the 80s
I wish this prayer were better known and more often noted. It is surely one of the most poignant, reverent, and humble petitions ever offered by any nation’s leader. The fear of the Lord -
OK @DeltaAirlinesS2 I have NEVER experienced poor customer service like I did over a recent trip. Slipping a 100 credit into my account with no contact while refunding others over 600 does not suffice.
Could Georgia soon have a tax-free holiday for guns? The state Senate passed a bill that would do exactly that if it becomes law. https://t.co/xBmhawBlWA
Students used to ask me how a guy like Hitler cultivated so much power prior to WWIi. Citizens there excused the rhetoric in favor of the idea of German superiority. It's very much time for a third party if someone qualified like Nikki Haley cannot win the nomination.
For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.
@steakshapiro@929TheGame I don't think this game performance helps FSU recruit one bit. Shame on the Noles that didn't show a little loyalty to the team and to the fans.
Question: Should NCAA players that are now rewarded with both an academic scholarship AND NIL contracts be allowed to opt out of the post season? Maybe they should have to pay a penalty if they don't?
I don't disagree with the chosen teams but Bama should be 2 or 3. No way the SEC Champ is trumped by Big 12 or Pac 12. And yes I know Texas beat them but they lost to an inferior team AND won their championship against a #18 seed. U of M fans probably agree.
Nikki Haley is the best candidate in the current Republican pool for President. Her common sense and intelligence will probably not get her a nomination from her own party, which is sad. She could beat Biden, I think? 😀.
