“Totalitarianism demands, in fact, the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long run probably demands a disbelief in the very existence of objective truth.” - Orwell

4% increase in imports from Canada would easily replace the entire physical volume of diesel “negotiated” in the new US-Russia pact.

Author Jason Reynolds didn't spend much time in libraries as a child, but as an adult he found an anchoring point in them. Reynolds is the author of many award-winning titles. Two of his books appear on ALA's list of the Top 150 Most Challenged Books bit.ly/4jJJxiQ #BannedBooksWeek

Buy banned books. Lots of them. Hand them out as gifts if you can. Banning should always land a book on the best seller list. Immediately. Don't let the wackos win.

To her credit, she seems pretty tough but doesn't seek the spotlight. She should. Because she is interesting to listen to.

this is from Hitler’s speech to the Reichstag in January 1939. note the parallels to the preview of Rubio’s speech: - Claiming to be the inheritors of ancient civs - Mentions unique creativity (innate genius) - Renaissance/renewal - Defend all of European civilization from barbaric attack
Striding through Rome or Florence, who can help being overcome by the contemplation of what fate these unique monuments of human creativity might have met with had it not been for Mussolini and Fascism, which pulled Italy back from the brink of Bolshevist oblivion?
Germany, too, faced this danger. Here National Socialism wrought the miracle of rescue. And the belief in a new Renaissance in our day and age clings to these two states in the imagination of countless men of all races. The solidarity between these two regimes represents far more than simple, egotistical self-interest. This solidarity holds the promise of Europe's rescue from its threatened destruction by Bolshevism.

It's important to recognize that Trump is not looking too worried about the midterm elections. You could even argue that any worry he has shown doesn't have his usual rage. It looks more like he is performing concern. People should have a plan for November. A real plan for their family.
