🚨 France just arrested a 19-year-old Afghan migrant for repeatedly raping sheep and goats at an educational farm near Marseille. He was caught in the act on camera. The animals were found with their legs tied, bleeding, and severely injured. DNA evidence links him to multiple attacks over months. A five-month-old lamb was reportedly abused so severely on 31 March that it nearly died. Sorry to shatter the rainbow utopia, but not all cultures are equal.

For two centuries, the Ottoman Empire had pushed westward, swallowing kingdoms whole. Vienna was on the brink of collapse, the gate to all of Europe was about to fall open. Then, over the ridge of the Kahlenberg hill, came the largest cavalry charge in recorded history. 🔸By 1683, the Ottoman Empire was the most powerful military force on earth. Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa marched with more than 150,000 soldiers toward Vienna, pulling with him over 300 cannons and a supply chain that stretched back to Constantinople. 🔸On July 14th, the Ottomans surrounded Vienna and began digging. They ran tunnels beneath the city walls, packed them with gunpowder, and detonated them one by one. The city's 12,000 - 15,000 defenders watched their walls crumble from the inside out. 🔸After two months under siege, Vienna was dying. Food had run out, disease was spreading through the streets, and the garrison had lost a third of its men. The city's commander, Ernst Rüdiger von Starhemberg, sent desperate messengers through enemy lines begging for relief. 🔸Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I had spent weeks negotiating one of the most unlikely alliances in European history. Catholic Austria, Protestant German princes, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth agreed to set aside their rivalries and march together. King Jan III Sobieski of Poland would lead them. 🔸Jan Sobieski was already a legend before Vienna. He had spent his career fighting the Ottomans on Poland's eastern frontier, and the Turks called him the "Lion of Lechistan." When the Pope personally wrote to him asking for help, Sobieski mobilized 74,000 men and began the march south. 🔸On the evening of September 11th, the allied commanders gathered on the Kahlenberg hill overlooking Vienna. Below them, the Ottoman camp stretched across the plain like a city of its own, with silk tents, horse herds, and cooking fires as far as the eye could see. Sobieski turned to his son and said: "Tomorrow we fight." 🔸The battle opened at dawn on September 12th with infantry clashing in the woods and ravines below the hill. For eight hours the fighting ground on, neither side breaking. Then, at around four in the afternoon, Sobieski ordered his cavalry to the ridge. 🔸The Polish Winged Hussars were the most feared heavy cavalry in the world. They rode massive warhorses, carried 16-foot lances, and wore wooden frames on their backs that held enormous eagle and ostrich feathers. At full gallop, the wings created a roaring sound that witnesses said was unlike anything they had ever heard. 🔸18,000 horsemen crested the hill and began riding downhill toward the Ottoman camp. Sobieski led from the front with 3,000 of his Polish Winged Hussars. The ground shook. The Ottoman lines, which had held all day, looked up to see a wall of horses, lances, and screaming wings descending on them at full speed. The formation collapsed almost immediately. 🔸The battle raged for 15 hours after which the Ottoman army was in full retreat. Kara Mustafa abandoned his command tent, his treasury, his artillery, and the green banner of the Prophet Muhammad. The Poles captured so much coffee from the Ottoman camp that it is credited with introducing the coffeehouse culture to Vienna. 🔸Kara Mustafa fled to Belgrade, where he was executed by order of the Sultan three months later. The Ottoman Empire never again threatened central Europe with the same force. The siege of Vienna is now considered the high-water mark of Ottoman expansion into the West. 🔸On the evening of the victory, Sobieski wrote a letter to the Pope. In it, he borrowed the words of Julius Caesar and wrote: "I came, I saw, God conquered." He had just saved Western Europe. He sent the letter before the bodies were even cleared from the field. 🔸The Winged Hussars charged for the last time at Vienna, and they won the most consequential cavalry battle in modern history. Within a generation, the age of mounted shock warfare would be over forever. Most people have never heard of the Battle of Vienna or of Jan Sobieski (he will receive his own card in due time). I believe it is vital you are now part of the group that does. History has a way of burying the moments that changed everything. Europe was about to fall. These men ensured it didn't. Thanks for sticking with me. Tomorrow I've got another fantastic story lined up for you.

I don’t understand how a team with this much talent can be so consistently horrible at the little things and completely lack the attention to detail. It drives me insane. There’s no reason for this team to be this bad. I’m crashing out.

Pay attention now! Joe legal works in construction, has a Social Security number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Jose illegal also works in construction has no Social Security number and makes $15.00 per hour cash, under the table. Ready?... now pay attention.... Joe legal: $25.00 per hour × 40 hours = $1,000.00 per week or $52,000.00 per year. Now, take 31% away for State and Federal taxes. Joe legal now has $31,231.00. Jose illegal: $15.00 an hour × 40 hours = $600.00 per week or $31,200.00 per year. Jose illegal pays no taxes. Jose illegal now has $31,200.00. Joe legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe legal now has $24,031.00. Jose illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the State and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe legal spends $500.00 per month for food or $6,000.00 per year. Joe legal now has $18,031.00. Jose illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe legal pays rent of 1,200.00 per month or $14,400.00 per year. Joe legal now has $9,631.00. Jose illegal receives $500.00 per month Federal rent subsidy. Jose illegal pays out that $500.00 per month or $6,000.00 per year. Jose illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe legal pays $200.00 per month or $2,400.00 per year for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe legal now has $7,231.00. Jose illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance."... and still has $31,000.00. Joe legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline.. etc. Jose illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline and what he sends out of the country every month.... Joe legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Jose illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe legal's and Jose illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Joe legal pays for his children's lunches while... Jose illegal's children get a government-sponsored lunch. Jose illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe legal's children go home. Now, when they reach college age... Joe legal's kids may not get into a State school and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State schools through his taxes, while... Jose illegal's kids go to the, 'head of the class' because they are a minority. Joe legal and Jose illegal both benefit from the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not. Do you get it, now? If we vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens,... we are part of the problem. Its way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

@molzer i'm a pretty adventurous eater but their menu is tiny and does nothing for me

Anjin is one of the best spots in Kansas City. Must try if you are local or coming to town.

@DarrenJohnHill @mistowho so-called proper English is younger than our American English

Yeah, mate, we all suddenly develop thick regional accents the moment no Americans are around. Because obviously you speak normally and we’re the ones with the funny accent. We only put on this neutral one for your benefit, then go back to speaking proper English when you leave.

Do British people still do the accent when nobody's around

@SamaHoole @CscottLawyer they didn't take in mexicans

@CscottLawyer The Dutch took in more immigrants per capita than America in the same period. They're still the tallest people on earth. Still eating the cheese.

In 1776, when the American colonies broke from the British Empire, the average American man was 5'9". This was three inches taller than the average Englishman. It was taller than the Dutch, taller than the French, taller than the Swedes. George Washington, at 6'2", was tall by any standard, but his soldiers were not the Lilliputians the popular image suggests. At 5'7" the average Continental Army private was significantly taller than a typical European soldier, because he had grown up on a diet that the typical European soldier had not. The diet was meat. Dairy. Eggs from the back garden. Game from the woods that belonged to nobody. The abundance of colonial America, where the protein was not controlled by a landlord or rationed by a church or restricted by a forest law, had produced a population that was, by the skeletal standards of the eighteenth century, the tallest on earth. Americans stayed the tallest people in the world for nearly two hundred years. Then they stopped. American height plateaued in the 1950s. It has not meaningfully increased since. The average American man born in 1996 is approximately 5'9", which is the same height as the average American man born in 1950, and roughly the same height as the average American man in 1776. In the same period, the Dutch grew six inches. The Scandinavians grew five. The Germans grew four. The South Koreans grew nearly four. One by one, the European populations that had been shorter than Americans in 1900 overtook them. The Dutch, who had been among the shortest Europeans in 1860, are now the tallest people on earth at an average of 6 foot for men. Americans have dropped to 37th. Thirty-seventh. The richest country in the history of the world, spending more per capita on food than almost any other nation, is now shorter than the Dutch, the Danes, the Norwegians, the Swedes, the Germans, the Croatians, the Czechs, the Estonians, the Latvians, the Lithuanians, the Slovenians, the Montenegrins, the Bosnians, the Serbs, the Icelanders, the Belgians, the Austrians, the Swiss, the Australians, the New Zealanders, the Canadians, the Bermudans, and the Finns. The conventional explanation blames inequality. Healthcare access. Poverty. These are real factors. They are also downstream of something more fundamental. The American diet changed. In the 1950s, the average American ate butter, whole milk, eggs, and red meat as the nutritional backbone of the diet. By the 1990s, the average American was eating margarine, skimmed milk, egg whites, chicken breast, and a long list of processed foods that had been reformulated to remove animal fat and replace it with sugar and seed oil, because the dietary guidelines had told them to. The Dutch, in the same period, continued eating dairy. Full-fat dairy. Roughly a kilogram per person per day. Cheese for breakfast. Cheese for lunch. Milk with dinner. Butter on everything. The Dutch ignored the American dietary guidelines and kept eating the food that was making them tall. The Americans followed the guidelines and stopped growing. The Dutch ignored the guidelines and became the tallest people on earth. The experiment has been running for fifty years. It is running in real time. The results are in the conscription records and the school growth charts and the anthropometric surveys that are published every year and that nobody in a position to update the dietary guidance appears to be reading. America was the tallest country on earth when it was eating butter. America is the 37th tallest country on earth now that it is eating the guidelines. The guidelines have not been updated. The Dutch are still eating the cheese.

@SamaHoole we also imported a lot of mexicans and central americans who are typically quite short.

They said thousands of troops would be killed. They said oil would hit $200 a barrel. They said our Gulf allies would turn on us. They said BRICS would join the war on Iran’s side. They said the stock market would crash. They were wrong about quite literally everything.

@mattvanswol you want batman? because this is how you get batman

I HAVE NO WORDS.... Do you remember the viral footage of a father BEATING THE HELL out of his 16-year-old son's alleged k*ller inside a Charlotte NC courthouse? ..well, the accused k*ller just WALKED FREE WITH NO JAIL TIME!!!!! ALL CHARGES DROPPED. Prosecutors said they couldn't disprove self-defense, so they CLOSED THE CASE. The father, Shaheem Snyp who himself was arrested for beating McKnight after he TAUNTED HIM IN THE COURTHOUSE, was asked if he'd have k*lled McKnight had deputies not pulled him off: "Yeah. Honestly, yeah. Either y'all gonna do something or I'm gonna take it into my own hands..." This is so heartbreaking...

🚨 This was the most insane single day in American foreign policy in a generation and most people missed half of it.. > Iran agreed to suspend its entire nuclear program — indefinitely.. > Iran agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.. > zero dollars changed hands.. no frozen funds.. no pallets of cash.. > the US naval blockade on Iran stays up until the final deal is signed.. > Trump publicly ordered Israel to stop bombing Lebanon — used the word PROHIBITED in all caps.. > Netanyahu went on live TV and admitted he was acting on a US request.. > Defense Minister Katz got overruled within hours after saying Lebanon ops "have not yet been completed".. > a 10-day Israel-Lebanon ceasefire took effect overnight.. displaced Lebanese civilians started walking back to their villages.. > oil dropped 12% in minutes.. global equities surged.. > Iran's Foreign Minister declared the Strait of Hormuz "completely open" — first time since March 27.. all of this.. one Friday.. if you're not following me you're finding out about this 48 hours late from someone who read my post..

@MichaelaB_22 how much $ do you think the royals have generated over the years? it's an investment

Remember our car accident 10+ weeks ago? Guess what? They didnt have insurance, shocker No Habla English, one of the passengers (prob driver) disappeared from the scene. They gave the police a fake insurance card No accountability, no consequence We were just sitting at a red light. Wife had a concussion and back pain for 6 weeks Our car, which MY insurance is paying $18,000 to fix (won't total it) has now lost half its value due to an accident See this homie with the mask? He disappeared before the police showed up left a lady behind. So we take a loss, my wife is hurt, my insurance will pay up but of course raise my rates to cover it and the other party just gets to walk away with a totaled cheap ass car. Pisses me off - if I tried to pull that shit off I would prob be arrested.

Catholics No abortions! Democrats: Lol, fuck you Catholics: No gay marriage! Democrats: Lol, fuck you Catholics: No transing kids Democrats: Lol, fuck you! Pope Leo: Open your borders, infinity welfare Trump: Fuck you. Democrats: OMG, TRUMP HATES CATHOLICS!

@SGTWipper1Each police line

The average person doesn't know what's happening here. No, it's not a foot race. 😉

@ccmembersonly yes

THE POPE IS WRONG The pope is wrong. I'm not talking about the pissing match between him and Trump, an embarrassment arising from two men with problem egos. I'm talking about the gospel. He's wrong about that. On Palm Sunday, presiding at the altar, dressed in his vestments and regalia, standing above the body and blood of Christ, proclaiming as the bishop of Rome the gospel, he said, "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." Let that sink in. "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." That is preposterous, and conflicts directly with the Bible, the teachings and history of his own Roman Catholic Church, and the very nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the Bible, there are six separates Psalms written as prayers by David while he was waging war. In these prayers he asked God to bless his efforts and defeat his enemies. Does the pope want us to believe that the Lord ignored those prayers and rejected David as he offered them? Should those Psalms be removed from the Bible canonized by his own church four times over more than a thousand years? What about Jehoshaphat, Elisha, Joshua and Hezekiah -- as well as the entire tribes of Reuben, Gad and Manasseh -- who all while waging war prayed fervently to God to deliver them and subdue their enemies? God ignored them, too, and rejected them? That's a little hard to swallow given that each one of them was blessed with success in battle and rejoicingly thanked the Lord for it. That's what the Bible says. As far as the doctrinally authoritative Catechism of the Catholic Church, the church declares the principle of "just war" -- based on the teachings of saints Augustine and Thomas Aquinas -- and Catholic tradition specifically calls on those waging war to ask for victory in justice and protection for Catholic troops. And what of the Catholic chaplains in our Armed Forces? Should they tell young men and women waging war in their country's service that their prayers are pointless, as they will be ignored and rejected by their Savior? Isn't that what the Holy Father said? Finally, there is the matter of Constantine as he prepared for the Battle of the Milvian Bridge. A pagan who was about to wage war, he asked God to bless him with victory. At that point, he saw a cross in the sky and words that told him to march under its banner. That led to his conversion, the embrace of Christianity by the Roman Empire, the Nicaean Creed, and the official governmental sponsorship that made the Catholic Church one of the most powerful and wealthy institutions in the western world. Is the pope saying that the Lord turned a deaf ear to Constantine? Was that all a mistake or misunderstanding? Should we still be worshipping the sun god? Of course not. But this isn't about history or doctrine, soldiers or even the Bible. It's about Jesus Christ. "Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war -- but rejects them." Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus listens to everyone's prayers, and Jesus rejects no one. The Lord loves us all, no matter who we are, no matter what we have done, no matter how far we have fallen. God loves us all, and waits like the adoring Heavenly Father he is for us to reach out to him. He rejoices when we pray, he embraces us when we pray, he pours out his blessings upon us when we pray. Even if we are waging war. Even if we are in the depths of sin. Maybe especially if we are in the depths of sin. "The Lord is near to all who call upon him," David said. And that is true, no matter what Leo said. God always loves us, God is always there for us, God will always hear our prayers. It's unfortunate the vicar of Christ seems confused on that point.
