The opening of the Battle of Messines was at that time the biggest man-made explosion in history. At Hill 60 the 1st Australian Tunneling Company had been at work since November 1916. They secretly dug two large mine shafts under Hill 60 and the one called ''The Caterpillar''. At 3.10am on 7 June 1917, these two mines and 19 others, containing nearly one million pounds of explosives were detonated, killing 10,000 Germans.

Leaked emails within the RAF show the pressure apparently being applied to filter out white male recruits and fast-track women and ethnic minorities to hit impossible diversity targets. A case of reverse discrimination at its best. Good luck to the United Kingdom when their oh so correct air force is shot out of the sky.

A once family friendly establishment has caved to the mob. Cracker Barrell shared a photo on Facebook of one of the rockers that traditionally sit in front of its stores with rainbow-colored slats, along with the message: ''We are excited to celebrate Pride Month with our employees and guests. Everyone is always welcome at our table.''

We are seeing a trend of people filming law enforcement - often referred to as a ''First Amendment audit'' - which is then posted online. During these ''audits,'' people film police buildings and officers. Once contacted, they can become aggressive and challenging and often seek to be detained by law enforcement while they are filming so they can post the video of the encounter online.

As Europeans were coming over to North America, ballast at the time used to be dirt. So you think of dirt getting shoveled in and then unloaded over here, you could have potential for earthworms. Buckthorn, lilacs, a lot of plants were brought from Europe, in the root balls you would have earthworm cocoons or the eggs that are very tolerant to drought and cold.

And, you should see his shoes. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) continued his attacks on John Durham after the special counsel's report further undermined the Democrat's collusion claims. Schiff, who previously led the House Intelligence Committee, pushed unproven allegations of Trump-Russia collusion for years and touted British ex-spy Christopher Steele's discredited dossier, knowing his GOP opposition could not correct him for fear of being accused of exposing classified information.

D-Day - 6 June 1944 - was the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. The statistics of D-Day, codenamed Operation Overlord, are staggering. The Allies used over 5,000 ships and landing craft to land more than 150,000 troops on five beaches in Normandy. The landings marked the start of a long and costly campaign in north-west Europe, which ultimately convinced the German high command that defeat was inevitable.

Hillary Clinton took to Twitter on Monday to mark Memorial Day, but the former Secretary of State who was in office during the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that claimed the lives of four Americans seemed to anticipate being reminded of that fact because she turned off the ability to reply to her tweet.

What a great State to live in if you are low income, a minority, or an illegal alien, with legislation aimed at helping people of color, billions more for schools, a new ethnic studies curriculum, more limits on no-knock warrants by police, improvements for tracking hate crimes, paid family and medical leave, and opening the MinnesotaCare health plan to more residents regardless of immigration status. Everybody else, get out your checkbooks.

There are many reasons why people may not give the homeless a place to stay. Some may have financial constraints that prevent them from doing so, while others may have concerns about safety or security. Or, they may have heard stories like what happened to this kind-hearted woman.

Brian Shul, a retired Air Force major who modestly described himself as ''a survivor'' rather than a hero, after he was downed in a Vietnamese jungle, where he nearly died before rebounding to pilot the world's fastest spy plane, died on May 20, 2023 in Reno, Nevada. He was 75.

In 2022, IRS posted a job description for Special Agent and a position requirement was the willingness to use ''deadly force.'' The description went viral on the internet and the ''deadly force'' language was edited out. However, today, that language is back in the online job posting. Maybe Pogo was right.

Outlaw John Shaw took his last drink of whiskey after he was dead. Impossible you say? Read on.

Ten people were killed and 90 wounded on Memorial Day, 1937 when the police attacked a peaceful march outside the Republic Steel plant in South Chicago . The march came just days after the beginning of a strike against Republic, known as one of the worst places to work. The company paid low wages, drove its workers hard, and provided no medical care or pension plan. Republic Steel fought unionization even after the larger U.S. Steel Corporation agreed to unionization in early 1937.

Captain Henry Thomas Waskow (September 24, 1918 - December 14, 1943) was a United States Army officer, with the rank of captain, memorialized in Ernie Pyle's dispatch ''The Death of Captain Waskow,'' which in turn was faithfully portrayed in the movie The Story of G.I. Joe. The column also publicized the documentary film The Battle of San Pietro, by John Huston, depicting the action in which Waskow died.

The FBI's 2016 investigation into alleged collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia began with a single unverified account of a months-old conversation in a bar with an unpaid foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, according to Durham's report. Without even speaking to the source, and in a departure from FBI standards, an investigation was opened despite having no information that anyone from the Trump campaign had ever been in contact with Russian intelligence officials.

Portrayed by Tom Hanks, a grieving widower, Otto is often right about his grievances. Why should he pay for six feet of rope and waste a few extra cents when he bought just five? Why shouldn't he warn inconsiderate drivers who often block garage doors or entitled neighbors who can't remember to close a gate and respect basic rules about trash disposal?

One of America's most unusual wars involved only one casualty – a pig – and yet it could have changed the course of history. The bizarre conflict took place on what is now Washington state’s San Juan Island and involved American and British troops, and even warships.

The Founding Fathers had just broken free from one empire, and the idea that foreign power could influence their young democracy was a prominent source of anxiety. These two don't seem to care, maybe they need to be reminded.

In the 1830s, the enslavement of Blacks was established in the Indian Territory, the region that would become Oklahoma. By the late 19th century, when over half a million Africans were enslaved in the South, the southern Native American societies of that region had come to include both enslaved Blacks and small numbers of free Black people.

Water, in its different forms, have been deemed as synonymous to life. Distilled water is a type of water which is created using a special process called distillation. To explain in simple words, it is a method where pure H20 is collected by removing the impurities such as metals and minerals out.

The arrowhead was authorized as the official National Park Service emblem by the Secretary of Interior in 1951. The elements of the emblem symbolize the major facets of the National Park Service, It is an emblem that symbolizes the things that the organization cares for and cares about. The company who manufactures these in the United States can only sell them to the NPS, but I found mine on the internet, made in China and shipped from there. It now proudly welcomes visitors to "Bathroom National Park".

The president urged the historically Black university's 2023 graduating class to prepare to confront a different terrorist threat at home. ''The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy,'' Mr. Biden said, ''And I'm not saying this because I'm at a Black University, I say it wherever I go.''

The 2020 presidential election was, in several targeted battleground states, an unconstitutional electoral exercise. Even putting aside evidence of significant fraud, virtually none of which received a hearing by our courts, events leading up to and including the November national election constituted a radical and grave departure from the federal electoral system adopted by the framers of the Constitution and the state ratification conventions.

It might be tempting to dismiss George Orwell's book ''1984''as a figment of dystopian literature. Unfortunately, that's not as easy as it sounds. Modern history shows he was onto something.

During the Cold War, the United States Military conducted secret experiments in Corpus Christi, TX and St Louis Missouri. Documents show how the US Army sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide on unsuspecting low income communities, lying to city officials at the time, saying they were testing a smoke screen in case of an attack by the Soviet Union.

When the Green Berets needed insight on the Middle East, they turned to one of the U.S. Army's own: Sergeant Ali Mohamed. When Osama bin Laden wanted help training troops and raising money for his al-Qaida terrorist network, he enlisted the same man, known as ''Abu Mohamed ali Amriki,''or ''Mohamed the American.''

The 51 former ''intelligence'' officials who cast doubt on The Post's Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president. And more than a year later, even after their Deep State sabotage has been shown again and again to be a lie, they refuse to own up to how they undermined an election.

The Wild West era of the United States was marked by lawlessness and violence, with outlaws and lawmen engaged in a never-ending battle for control of the region. One of the most infamous incidents of this era was the Canyon Diablo shootout, which took place in 1905 in the Arizona Territory.

Minnesota lawmakers are mulling a change to state law that would log alleged bias incidents even when they aren't considered a crime, leading one lawmaker to say the plan would create a ''thoughtcrime'' database. A bill pitched in January would allow people to report perceived bias-related incidents such as alleged slurs and verbal attacks.

Explosive bribery allegations involving Joe Biden and foreign nationals were brought to the Department of Justice as early as 2018, two years before similar allegations against the president were made by the whistleblower now talking to the House Oversight Committee.

Internal correspondence from the National Archives and Records Administration reveals a fierce bureaucratic war over the documents in recent years, pitting the Archives against the CIA, FBI and other agencies that want to keep those documents on Kennedy's assassination secret. Many, including President Nixon, was sure the CIA did it, and when he accused the agency head in the Oval Office, it was met with complete silence.

Food product dating, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture calls it, is completely voluntary for all products (with the exception of baby food). Not only that, but it has nothing to do with safety. It acts solely as the manufacturer's best guess as to when its product will no longer be at peak quality. Food manufacturers also tend to be rather conservative with those dates.

Lightfoot died of natural causes in Toronto on May 1, 2023, at the age of 84.

In order to scare the public, Secretary Janet Yellen and her friends in the business press have been telling anyone who listens that the U.S. will face a catastrophic default by June 1st if Republicans don't just shut up about spending cuts and raise the debt ceiling. It's the same game of budgetary chicken they play every September when the appropriations bills aren't finished and a government shutdown looms.

The Catholic Church actually discouraged the populace from reading the Bible on their own, a policy that intensified through the Middle Ages and later, with the addition of a prohibition forbidding translation of the Bible into native languages.

Celebrities are used to living lives full of luxurious items that the average Joe can’t afford. From sprawling mansions to top-of-the-line cars, being rich has never looked so good. While driving a fancy car is one thing, every A-lister knows they’ve truly made it when they buy a private jet.

$The fractured relationship between a father and a son, from birth through adulthood is told verse by verse through Harry Chapin's 1974 folk tale ''Cats in the Cradle.''

Ocean liners might not be the quickest way to get from one place to another, but they've often been the most luxurious. This is no accident. These luxury vessels were designed to be so impressive the passengers would forget they were crossing an ocean.

Tapes of Lyndon Johnson’s phone calls reveals he caught Richard Nixon sabotaging the Vietnam peace talks by sending word to Saigon that it would get better terms if Humphrey lost and Nixon took office. As the 1968 election approached, Nixon feared that Johnson would try to help the Democratic nominee,VP Hubert Humphrey, by staging an October surprise. When LBJ announced to the nation, just days before the election, he was halting the bombing of North Vietnam, Nixon's fears were realized.

In Chapter 31 of the Book of Numbers, the fourth book of the Torah, God tells Moses he must complete one more task before he dies: taking vengeance against the Midianites by killing them all, but sparing the virgins for future use. Why? The Israelites have been whoring with Moabite women, and for some reason, God and Moses hold the entire Midianite nation responsible. Makes perfect sense, right?

Brainwashing is best accomplished when you have no idea that it is being done but simply occurs as part of the fabric of your life. While you may ''feel'' that something is wrong, you are being programmed nonetheless. Think about TV Commercials and shows with these facts in mind.

We need to start firing a bunch of teachers in Minnesota immediately. ''It's Perfectly Normal,'' which is for ages 10 and up, is one of the most controversial and challenged books in the country because of its graphic nudity. Some have called it ''cartoon pornography.'' CAUTION: THE IMAGES IN THIS BOOK ARE DEFINITELY ''NOT SAFE FOR WORK'', or anywhere for that matter.

When our state and federal governments allow criminals and foreign nations to injure with impunity their own law-abiding citizens, is it any wonder the civilized world we once knew has vanished – replaced by the Hobbesian rule of the wild?

The stereotype of the grumpy old man could have its roots in a condition known as irritable male syndrome. It’s clinically referred to as andropause, or male menopause. Like female menopause, andropause includes physical and emotional changes that also seem dependent on changes in hormone levels.

After Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, something dramatic was needed to turn the war effort around. There were no friendly airfields close enough to Japan for the United States to launch a retaliation, so a daring plan was devised.

According to the New York Times, the far-left mouthpiece of the Democratic Party, Rupert Murdoch built an empire by giving viewers exactly what they wanted. But what they wanted - election lies and insurrection - put that empire (and the country) in peril. We'll ignore the ballot box fraud and other shenanigans that got ''the most popular president ever'', the demented head of a family crime syndicate, elected.

Yes, no question that ''Lyndon gets things done'', including winning the 1948 Senate race in the 10th Texas district.

The experiences of Pilot Teresa James exemplify the dedicated service of WASP women in World War II.

Grey's serialized novel, published in Ladies' Home Journal in 1922-1923, was one of the first pieces of literature produced which offered a harsh portrayal of American government agencies towards Native Americans.

This depiction sparked a lot of backlash in the form of angry letters from readers once the novels were published.

With his granddaughter Gabbie at his side, Ron Howes announced he won't be attending the coronation of King Charles on May 6th.

Naegleria Fowleri is a microscopic single-celled living amoeba. Infection is RARE and can only happen when water contaminated with amoebae enters the body through the nose. You CANNOT be infected by drinking tap water. Use DISTILLED water when rinsing your sinuses.

Although the Shroud of Turin’s authenticity is hotly debated, the supposed burial cloth of Jesus Christ is still one of the most studied Christian relics there is. What do scientists say about it?

If the Democrats (and Trump’s Republican primary opponents) think that this is going to be the thing that stops Trump’s reelection bid, they are dead wrong. A sense of persecution and grievance dominates the Republican Party’s base, specifically over the mostly unfair and over-the-top mistreatment that Trump was made to endure during his presidency.

Few structures represent the United States as powerfully as the Washington Monument. At the center of Washington, D.C., the impressive marble obelisk (555 feet tall and 55 feet wide) pays grand tribute to the first U.S. president, George Washington.
