On 18 October 1943, a captured German parachutist stunned his British interrogator with detailed eyewitness accounts of Nazi concentration camps and something far darker...
He calmly described Hitler's secret stud farms where SS officers bred the 'master race':

Ossoff: We see a faithless president, self-dealing, while he depicts himself as Christ, while he depicts the Obamas as apes, while he plunges the nation recklessly into war, plunders our health care, and sends prices soaring.
And while the people pay more than ever for groceries and housing and health care, he builds a monument to himself.
While a cancer patient loses health coverage, he adorns his office in gold.
Voting rights laws are dismantled, prisons for immigrants are full of children, and all the while we see this wickedness advanced and defended by those who wrap themselves in the banner of righteous faith.
But we ask, where in Scripture are we commanded to deny care to the sick, to take from those with the least to give to those with the most, to violate the house of worship to hunt down the refuge
Pretty intuitive animation explaining seasons, equinox, solstice, length of day and night.
Today marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

God, I miss the old SNL. The jeopardy skits with Sean Connery always made me laugh uncontrollably! I have to say that they are probably my favorite of all. 🤣🤣🤣
Esto es espectacular como se movió Marruecos defensivamente. Esto se entrena. No es aleatorio. Tremendo bloque corto defensivo. Imposible de entrar sin alguna magia o pase filtrado con extrema exactitud. Por eso Brasil se la pasó lateralizando.
US Marines vs Chinese Human Waves at Chosin Reservoir (1950) 🇺🇸🇨🇳
Rare footage captures the brutal fighting as U.S. Marines of the 1st Marine Division faced massive Chinese People's Volunteer Army assaults in the freezing winter of 1950.
Chinese infantry surge across frozen ridgelines in human wave attacks, while Marines hold defensive positions with rifles, machine guns, and M26 Pershing tanks. Overhead, F4U Corsairs roar in to deliver vital close air support to Marines fighting against overwhelming odds.
One of the greatest stands in Marine Corps history.
Digitally restored, enhanced, and presented with sound design to recreate how these moments may have looked and sounded at the time.
If you haven’t seen this, take a minute and listen to this. This is the best percussion performance I have seen maybe ever but it’s been a long time. Thank you rush.
RUSH Fifty Something Tour Setlist Spoiler!
Here's a list of every song on their list of songs to rotate and play. I've been waiting 48 years to see them play A Farewell to KIngs again. The Camera Eye is a great added bonus too. This was supposedly taken from Alex's guitar techs console (Scott Appleton?) and shared by @rushisaband There's a lot of other info on there for the guitar geeks.
Perfect angle. I’ve watched this, well not enough times, Geddy’s smile as she kills it and her smiles when she completes and when she hears the appreciation swell. Perfect!!
