This is a brief overview of the the life of Adolf Hitler, how he rose to power, and how he fell.
While it doesn't dive that deeply into the weeds, I think it is an accurate synopsis. The first hour is on his rise.
This might be the funniest vid of all time!

I'm starting a new blog for stories that may or may not rate a seed of their own but are still worth mentioning.

Native Nations have always known this day would come. The tribes stand on the edge of a knife. Our right to citizenship and, by extension, our tribal lands is now in question.

Hi, everyone.
Get this. In late July I was weed whacking around a flower bed. I had to bend over to move a loose rock out of the way, and promptly got stung on the hand by a ground wasp. What are the chances I would bend over right there where a nest was? I should have played the lottery that day.

Ok...he won. I accept it.
My brief analysis is this: If Harris could stay on topic about her policies instead of always wanting to tear him down, I think she might have done better. I would rather hear about what she intend to do about the border, fix inflation, and strengthen our ties with our allies. What were her foreign policies?
Michele Obama once said when they go low, we go high. Harris...
The big night is finally here. It is Election Day 2024. Who will win?

How Much is a College Degree Worth?

I came across this chart on Facebook the other day and wondered what you folks would think about the subject, both the assigned values to certain degrees and the value of a college education in current society.
I, personally, am against the process of forgiving student loans. If a person signs a loan agreement and then fails to live up to that agreement, then in my view their word is of no...
