“[America’s] wartime preference for generic, high-volume output over specially engineered, high-performance armaments flowed in significant measure form the historical nature of the American workforce, disproportionally composed of ill-educated immigrants with scant industrial skills. From the dawn of the industrial revolution in the United States, the characteristics of America's working class had placed a premium on organizing production around simple repetitive tasks that did not demand technical adeptness or extensive training. Henry Ford’s clattering automobile assembly line, tended by gangs of often unlettered Polish and ITalian immigrants, Appalachian whites, and transplanted southern black sharecroppers, was the archetypal example of America’s peculiar industrial style.”
"To save scare fabrics, the War Production Board banned double-breasted suits, vests, trouser cuffs, and patch pockets for men; pleated skirts disappeared, hemlines went up, and women's bathing costumes got skimpier, promoting the widespread adoption of the previously rare two-piece swimming suit."

>Has told french politicians in the past to "Turn to Jesus and seek his help"
>Declines the secular French Republic’s highest honour.
>Declined a state lunch or dinner at the Élysée with Macron
>Rejected a private Notre-Dame meeting/tour with Macron
>Will visit the Institut Catholique de Paris where priests were martyed by the republic
>Will pray at Lourdes and celebrate Mass in Paris
The Vicar of Christ needs no seal of approval from a state that has pushed Christ aside.
Le pape Léon XIV refuse la légion d'honneur, refuse les entretiens privés avec le président macron, il refuse la garde nationale, il refuse le déjeuner privé à l'élysée.
Il se rend même à l'Institut catholique de Paris, au couvent des Carmes, là où des prêtres ont été assassinés par la république.
Le pape Léon XIV n'est pas dupe. De l'histoire de la république, des valeurs de la république, celles-là même qui mènent aujourd'hui cette même république à insérer l'avortement dans la constitution, ou à légaliser l'assassinat en hôpital, par exemple.
Le pape Léon XIV n'a pas à se plier à ces "valeurs". L'Eglise existait avant la république, elle existera après. Elle est au-delà.

Lord Wolseley, one of Britain's greatest war heroes, met Gen. Lee during the war and said of him, "He was the ablest general, and to me seemed the greatest man I ever conversed with; and yet I have had the privilege of meeting Von Moltke and Prince Bismarck…General Lee was one of the few men who ever seriously impressed and awed me with their natural, their inherent greatness.”

It turns out Iran didn't shoot a short-range anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs) at the USS George Washington and an accompanying destroyer escort but rather medium-range hypersonic "carrier killer" Qassem Bassir ASBMs that can reach speeds of Mach 5-8.
This is the first time in US history that we know of that a US near peer competitor has fired a hypersonic missile of any kind against a US warship. The US Navy has very little defense against hypersonic missiles and so these Iranian hypersonic ASBMs pose a deadly threat to US aircraft carriers and their escorts.
If even one or two hypersonic missiles hit one of our carriers and it caught fire and was forced to withdraw from the region smouldering it would be a massive blow to US prestige. That is something Iran could do at any time whenever it chooses to do so if Trump fooolishly decides to keep escalating his illegal, unconstitutional imperial war of aggression against Iran.
BREAKING: For the first time since the start of the war, Iran's IRGC attempted to hit a US nuclear aircraft carrier in the Gulf of Oman yesterday, using the Qasem Basir medium-range anti-ship ballistic missile which has a range of approximately 1,200km.
In response to the strike, US CENTCOM has permanently disabled 3 Iranian oil tankers, including the M/T Downy off the coast of Kharg Island, the M/T Stark 1 near Jask, and the M/T Kylo in the Gulf of Oman.
Iran now directly warns Trump that "All US naval ships are now targets. Any strikes on Iranian ships will be met with multiple strikes on vessels linked to countries participating in the anti-Iranian aggression."
Iran is again launching anti-ship cruise missiles toward a US aircraft carrier and/or vessels under US Navy escort in the past few minutes, per initial reports.
“I grant you that the sans culottes,
Who please themselves by cutting throats,
Might well expect, if times should alter,
To be rewarded with a halter;
But they who loved the Constitution
Prepared the second Revolution;
’Twas they who led their hapless nation
Out of the road of her salvation,
To follow that fantastic scheme,
The rights of man; a boyish dream
Where words of vague, ambiguous sense
Conduct to bloodiest consequence.
They pulled unhappy Louis down,
Then mock’d him with a paper crown
Which any breath might blow away
And leave him bare. In short, ’twas they
Who, with a rage perverse and blind,
Would fain have ruined all mankind.” - Gouverneur Morris

I am proud to present the latest installment to my Substack: Prince of The Blood: The Betrayal of Equality
Prince of the Blood is a historical-political treatise: a study of Philippe Égalité’s betrayal of Louis XVI, and a warning about what happens when elites abandon their people and legitimacy begins to migrate away from the old order.

Hasan, you ARE going back.
You guys should catch a clue while the Western man is still asking!
The same week that @RupertLowe10 put out his bullshit ‘rape gang report’ falsely claiming Muslims raped 250,000 white girls & same week @elonmusk amplified it on here, this happens. Is anyone surprised?
They’re inciting violence against Muslims and emboldening extremists.
In their obsession for control and restrictions on our speech, they have sterilized the platform of its most interesting content.
What a shame. @elonmusk failed us.
It’s refreshing to see that the whole “free speech absolutist” LARP has finally been dropped.
The global power structure in control of the West simply can not maintain control if actual free speech is allowed to thrive on the internet.
It seems we’ll have to build our own alternatives.
This individual is guilty of high treason against These United States.
Israel is going above and beyond to protect the Christian population of Lebanon. I just spoke with senior IDF official, MG Hidai Zilberman, who’s an expert on the issue and confirmed Israel’s tireless work to ensure the safety of the Christian population.
However, Hezbollah has done the COMPLETE opposite. They’re putting Christians and Lebanese civilians directly in the line of fire. They’re attacking Israel from WITHIN Christian population centers and storing their terror assets IN Christian schools.
Israeli officials are in constant communication with the leaders of Christian communities in south Lebanon and are delivering aid to Christian villages to help prevent their dependence on Hezbollah terrorists.
So, anyone who tells you anything other than the truth, doesn’t want Christians to be safe.
It really is just a matter of time for these things. The occupiers are moving to institute their digital panopticon way too late.
