Was Stonewall Jackson actually that good? Let me end this debate. In the spring of 1862, the Confederacy was losing. McClellan was marching 100,000 men up the Virginia Peninsula toward Richmond. The capital was about to fall. The war was about to end. Then a weird, lemon-sucking, ex-VMI physics professor changed everything. Thomas J. Jackson had 17,000 men in the Shenandoah Valley. The Union had three separate armies under Banks, Frémont, and Shields totaling over 60,000, all converging to crush him, then reinforce the assault on Richmond. What Jackson did next is still taught at West Point, Sandhurst, and the Israeli Defense Forces' command college. In 48 days, his "foot cavalry" marched 646 miles through the Blue Ridge. He fought five battles, McDowell, Front Royal, Winchester, Cross Keys, Port Republic, and won every single one. He used interior lines to appear in three places at once. He marched his men until their shoes fell off, then marched them more. He told no one his plans, not even his generals. When asked where he was going, he'd say "to do my duty." He didn't just defeat three armies. He paralyzed them. Lincoln personally diverted 40,000 reinforcements away from Richmond to chase a ghost. McClellan's offensive collapsed. Richmond was saved. He had done it with a third of the men. Then came Chancellorsville, May 1863. Lee was outnumbered 130,000 to 60,000 by Hooker's army. Most generals would've retreated. Lee split his army. Then Jackson split it AGAIN, taking 28,000 men on a 12-mile flank march directly across the front of a numerically superior enemy, a maneuver textbooks call suicidal. At dusk, his men exploded out of the woods into the unsuspecting Union right flank. The XI Corps disintegrated. It is, to this day, one of the most audacious tactical movements in the history of warfare. Hours later, riding ahead in the dark to plan a night attack, his own men shot him by mistake. His arm was amputated. He died of pneumonia eight days later. Lee, on hearing it: "He has lost his left arm, but I have lost my right." Patton studied him. Rommel studied him. Moshe Dayan reportedly modeled parts of the Six-Day War on his Valley Campaign. MacArthur called him the greatest natural military genius America ever produced. He was 39 years old. You can hate the cause. But pretending Jackson wasn't one of the most lethal field commanders in military history is just bad history. The man was a problem.

@UScrimeReview @HorrorGorl Reminds me of auto bailouts. No one wanted it. They did it anyways. No one wanted the banks bailed out. They did it anyways. As long as people type snd yell they dont care. It will take real action and thats just not going to happen

Not standing up to data centers will be one of the last mistakes we make.

@LibertyBaseball @goodfeetese Loved hearing the catcher sing the anthem. Best yet in the 10-12 years i been attending games. Thank you.

back at it 🔁 @goodfeetese

@RealJarTaylor The questions and kids at the end show how dar the university system has gone to destroy minds. Good lecture.

It takes a brave man to invite me to speak on a college campus. Here is my complete talk, including bone-head questions from students.

@RealChrisLangan @WadeTownsendMan You mean learing right?

@WadeTownsendMan Correct. Many of them don't seem capable of normal learning. The only thing that works is punitive operant conditioning.

Is it just my imagination, or does a rapidly increasing percentage of negroes have a special affinity for sucker-punching innocent White people, knocking them to the ground, and then stomping on their heads by jumping in the air like wild apes and coming down on them as destructively as possible? x.com/i/status/20514… I'm asking because if so, it would mean that these negroes have a special affinity for murdering (or trying to murder) White people. It's not very nice of them to say the least. Negroes typically have thicker skulls (literally) than White people, so perhaps when they head-stomp each other, it's not as dangerous. Perhaps it's like trying to crack open a coconut by jumping up and down on it with rubber-soled basketball sneakers. You're more likely to break your foot! But as science has been revealing to us of late, negroes don't necessarily share all the genetic traits of White people. (There's a lot of nontrivial genetic distance between us.) The thinner skulls of White people, which on average contain larger brains, aren't as durable. White people get fractured skulls, concussions, and brain damage from this popular yoof/teen pastime. They sustain serious and often debilitating injuries that, even if survived, blight the rest of their lives. Is there any rational argument for not using deadly force to defend oneself against these rabid chimp attacks / attempted murders? I suspect not, as nothing else ever seems to get their attention. It's not as though White people foolishly sneak into chimp enclosures and get what they asked for. Rather, it's as though somebody unlocked the chimp cage knowing that the apes would rush out to savage zoo patrons. It seems downright malicious. I'm opposed to pointless violence, but self-defense is a natural right. If, in order to stop his simian assailants, that unfortunate kid had pulled out a .44 hog leg and shot every single one of them deader than week-old road kill, nobody with any sense would lose much sleep over it. Given the circumstances, neither should you.

@LibertyLockPod Those worthless losers will do nothing worthwhile

Trump's DOJ could regain a ton of credibility by simply charging Fauci. If they fail to do so the entire system might as well collapse. Fauci funded the creation of a bioweapon, lied about it under oath and killed millions of people Do it now or just admit you're the swamp

@ASeaofRed You know what i like most about Cleveland? He stayed. His loyalty was rewarded with post season play and post college opportunity. I want more of this

Liberty’s Zach Cleveland has been invited to participate in the 2026 AWS NBA G League Combine. He is one of 44 players and the only Conference USA player invited to the event.

@Sassafrass_84 Probably spend a few weeks in the stockade while awaiting trial

Yes. I do agree with this. This is what real governance looks like. Other governors should be paying attention.

@Sassafrass_84 She needs to face manslaughter at a minimum. Although the act was premeditated on her part

@iluminatibot And when will anyone go to prison or stretch a rope?

Was his name really Barack Hussein Obama — or was it Jean Paul Ludwig? Let me explain. After digging through records and old documents, something strange surfaced: the Social Security Number 042-68-4425, the one linked to Barack Obama, was originally assigned to a man named Jean Paul Ludwig — a French-born immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1924. He was reportedly given that SSN in March 1977. Now here’s the kicker: Ludwig spent most of his adult life in Connecticut, which explains why his SSN begins with 042 — a prefix reserved for Connecticut residents. Obama? Never lived or worked in Connecticut. So why would he have a Social Security number tied to that state? It gets even more curious. Ludwig reportedly passed away in Hawaii, where Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, just happened to work in the probate office of the Honolulu Courthouse — with access to files of deceased individuals and their personal records, including unused Social Security numbers. The theory is that Ludwig’s death was never properly reported to the Social Security Administration, likely because he never received benefits. That meant his number sat dormant — and accessible. Some believe Dunham may have quietly found a number that belonged to someone long gone — someone not receiving benefits — and handed it off to her grandson, whose citizenship status has long been questioned by skeptics due to connections to Kenya and Indonesia.

@UScrimeReview How would their water and power supply out there hold up if 20 million foreigners were removed?

@AcademicAgent_X You are missing all those great EA sports titles that were huge starting in the 90s. I don’t know if they still make games, but those games took more of my time than everything but Ultima Online

Been thinking about a "Game Designer" Mount Rushmore. Miyamoto and Sid Meier are both locks, but the other two spots are interesting to think about. I feel like these are in contention: Todd Howard (Elderscrolls, Fallout) Will Wright (Sim City, Sims) John Carmack (Doom, Quake) Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls, Elden Ring) Gabe Newell (Half-Life, Portal) Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion)

@TheGreenOldDill @DissidentSoaps Perhaps the demise of Spirit is another way for those elites to thumb our eyes by making all the norms and clown fly together

Me, watching Spirit’s demise and then realizing that their customers will be buying seats next to me on the airlines that I fly:

@BleacherReport They were down 1… How about a higher percentage shot and chance to get fouled? The defense is playing off to not foul. Shooting threes at the buzzer when down 1 shows how retarded the NBA is. One must be equally retarded to watch it

RJ BARRETT INSANE GAME-WINNER TO FORCE GAME 7 OMG 😱🚨 WHAT. A. SHOT. 🤯

@VinnyBonsignore Without traveling or carrying the ball. They still called palming back then

Oh really? LeBron got to his first NBA championship series when he was 22 and won his first when he was 27. It took LeBron 4 years to lead a team to the NBA finals. It took Jordan seven years to lead a team to the finals. He was 28 when he won his first championship.

@BenSwann_ And why does Trump get to decide who has what and what kind of weaponry?

Trump claims “We have to have guarantees [Iran] will never have a nuclear weapon.” “Iran would use the nuclear weapon if they had it... And we’re not going to give them a chance to do it.”

@UScrimeReview We are surrounded by morons who are self righteous about it

@NFL_DovKleiman Such a horrible thing to think os great

Hilarious: The legendary Cam Newton was left SPEECHLESS after Ray J revealed that he slept with over 11,500 women. He even confronted Cam for having a body count over 10,000. 😭😭😭

@UScrimeReview You are spot on Legal and of you notice and say anything about it, no one is asking to be called any number of names either. Just for noticing

@ogbosspelly @IfindRetards It is possible those pictures were snapped when he started a new book. It is possible

Who is the most retarded athlete or sports star in the world?
