The @USArmy today honoring one of the most brazenly hostile partisans to have worn the uniform on the official ‘Soldier for Life’ program Facebook site. Senator Tammy Duckworth is a vet, but one who has dedicated her career to division and infantile displays in the halls of congress. There are so many warriors worthy of being praised, men and women who didn't sell their souls along the way. But this is who @SecArmy Dan Driscoll’s Army continues going out of its way to pay homage to.

America Today, I apologize not to Pete Hegseth but to his family. But NOBODY is talking about the woman who’s watching her husband disappear into service: Pete Hegseth’s WIFE. Imagine being married to a man who used to come home every evening from his TV job. You had dinner together. Your children played with their father. Life was NORMAL. Then one day, your husband says: “Trump needs me as Secretary of Defense. I have to serve our country.” And suddenly? Your husband is GONE. Not physically gone from your life - but gone from your HOME. He sleeps in his White House office. Works through nights. Misses your children’s bedtimes for WEEKS. Can’t attend family dinners because he’s in classified defense meetings. Your kids ask: “When is Daddy coming home?” And you have to say: “Daddy is protecting America, sweetheart. We have to be patient.” Pete’s wife didn’t CHOOSE this life. She didn’t ask for her husband to work 90-hour weeks. But when Pete said “my country needs me,” she said something that breaks me: “Then GO. Serve. I’ll hold our family together while you protect the NATION’S family.” That’s the sacrifice NOBODY sees. Pete’s wife managing their children ALONE. Tucking kids into bed ALONE. Explaining to confused children why Daddy can’t be there - ALONE. Today, I want to SALUTE Pete Hegseth’s wife - the silent hero behind the Secretary of Defense. Here’s the truth they don’t tell you: Behind every man serving America is a FAMILY sacrificing WITH him. 🇺🇸 Repost to honor Pete’s WIFE. Share so military spouses see: you’re HEROES too. Pray: “Jesus, give Pete’s wife strength while he serves. Protect their children. Reunite them soon. Amen.” Follow if honoring families matters by Garvit Pandey

One of the only known photos ever taken of British Queen Victoria smiling, 1897. Despite her reputation as a serious, humorless monarch (epitomized by the apocryphal quote ‘We are not amused’) those close to her considered the Queen to have quite a sense of humor. For most of her reign, she was portrayed as the embodiment of strict dignity and solemn duty—an image reinforced by her widowhood after the death of Prince Albert in 1861. Victoria spent decades dressed in mourning black, and her perceived sternness became part of her legend, symbolized by the famous phrase “We are not amused,” which may not have actually been her words. Yet those who knew her personally often described her as warm, witty, and capable of laughter. She enjoyed music, sketching, and the company of close friends and family, especially her many children and grandchildren. Court diaries and correspondence reveal a woman who delighted in playful moments, teasing, and even practical jokes. The rarity of this smiling photograph is due less to Victoria’s temperament and more to the photographic practices of the 19th century. Early portrait photography required subjects to sit motionless for long exposures, making neutral or stern expressions more common. This image, captured near the end of her reign, humanizes one of Britain’s most iconic monarchs—showing not just the “Grandmother of Europe,” but a woman who found joy in private, even if history often remembered only her solemn mask. © Historical Photos #archaeohistories

The Moors were a group of North Africans who conquered and ruled Spain for nearly 781 years, from 711-1492 CE. They entered the Iberian Peninsula, Spain, after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar, passing through Morocco... African Moors were known for their exceptional architecture and engineering skills, and they built numerous impressive structures, such as universities and mosques in Spain, which still stand to this day. They made significant contributions in various fields, including math, medicine, chemistry, philosophy, astronomy, botany, bricklaying and history. The African Moors were the first to introduce the use of Arabic numbers in Europe, which are still used today. They also made significant advances in medicine, developed treatments for various diseases and created medical textbooks that were widely used. In addition, the African Moors were skillful astronomers and developed advanced techniques to measure time and determine the position of celestial bodies. They also made important contributions to botany, introducing new plants in Spain and creating gardens admired by many. African Moors were also known for their expertise in bricklaying and built numerous impressive structures, such as Granada's Alhambra, considered one of the most beautiful and impressive buildings in the world. Finally, they also wrote extensively about their history, creating numerous historical texts that are still being studied today. 📷 : a painting of a figure often associated with the "Moorish" period or culture, particularly in the context of European orientalist art. This style of art, popular in the late 1800s, often depicted North African or Middle Eastern figures in elaborate attire, sometimes with a romanticized or exoticized view.  The term "Moor" in English usage historically referred to inhabitants of Roman province of Mauretania, and later, to the Muslim population of al-Andalus (Spain and Portugal), who were of mixed Arab, Spanish, and Amazigh (Berber) origins. The figure in the painting is dressed in a green head covering, a gold-colored garment, and carries weaponry, including a sword and a pistol, along with a staff.  Such depictions, sometimes referred to as "Blackamoors" in popular European decorative arts, represented African males in exotic attire in various art forms like paintings, statues, and jewelry.  #archaeohistories

In his humble/generous acceptance speech for Best Actor Oscar for the 1965 comedy “Cat Ballou,” Lee Marvin told the cheering audience: “There are too many people to thank for my career. Half this award belongs to some horse out in the Valley. Thank you," referring to the iconic shot in the film of Lee Marvin and the horse he’s on, both drunk, leaning against a wall.

An ice-age bison was discovered... then soon eaten, once the foul taste was smothered ... During Alaskan Gold Rush, eager miners used high-pressure water guns to sweep away frozen silt, possibility of gold right underneath it in gravel. They often came across mummified carcasses of large animals, but paid them little mind, tossing them to side to continue their excavations. In July, 1979, a busy miner uncovered a pair of bison feet poking awkwardly out of mud, but instead of working around it, he decided that maybe someone should take a look at his find. What the miner had uncovered was something remarkable. They unearthed the mummified body of a 36,000 year-old Steppe bison now called "Blue Babe" in Alaskan tundra and shortly after, they sliced off a piece of its neck to eat. As remains were often incomplete, and would be discarded by miners, who were more interested in gold than in frozen animal remains. In 1979, a family of gold miners, Walter and Ruth Roman, and their sons, were mining near Fairbanks. Water from hydraulic mining hose they were using melted frozen soil Blue Babe was embedded in, thus exposing part of bison’s frozen remains. Miners named their find Blue Babe, in reference to metallic blue sheen of creature’s hide, which reminded them of Babe the Blue Ox from American folklore of Paul Bunyan. Blue’s mummy was so well preserved that there was evidence of horns and male genitalia, allowing for sex identification. Horn remnants gave an annual sequence that helped estimate his age and claw. Miners, aware of potential significance of their discovery, decided to contact University of Alaska and palaeontologist Russell Dale Guthrie was sent to scene. Guthrie identified animal as being a steppe bison form Ice Age, and thus was probably tens of thousands of years old. In order to avoid deterioration of carcass, Guthrie opted to excavate immediately. This course of action, however, was not entirely possible, as ground was still frozen, and it was close to several large ice wedges. As it was summer, soil melted a little each day and eventually animal was freed, save its head and neck. Fearing that exposed parts of carcass would begin to decompose, Guthrie took decision to have it severed from its head and neck. After it was fully excavated, a necropsy was performed on bison by Dale Guthrie. Scientific analyses of carcass and frozen soil that entombed Blue Babe have yielded a large amount of valuable data, which allowed researchers to piece together story of bison, in particular last days of its life. Carcass was then brought back to University and refrozen. At University of Alaska, scientists began to conduct analyses on Blue Babe. Radiocarbon dating of a piece of Blue Babe’s hide indicated that bison had died 36,000 years ago. It has been suggested that Blue Babe was killed by an American lion (or several of them), an extinct subspecies of Ice Age lion that lived in North America. This is based on scratch marks on rear of Blue Babe, teeth punctures on its skin, as well as a piece of a lion’s tooth embedded in animal’s neck. In addition, Blue Babe’s fur coat, teeth and horns, as well as its fat content, indicated that it died in early winter, but lions were not able to return to finish their meal due to plummeting temperature, helped preserve Blue Babe for future. One of most bizarre stories about Blue Babe is that part of this ancient creature was cooked and consumed by researchers who were studying it. In 1984, Guthrie and his colleagues were preparing Blue Babe for a display. A piece of animal’s neck tissue was cut off and researchers decided to make a stew out of it, which they then split amongst themselves. Apparently, meat had a strong, earthy aroma, but it was delicious. It was also remarked that though meat was tough, it was edible. Today, Blue Babe or rather, a plaster model of bison covered by its tanned and treated skin, displayed in University of Alaska’s Museum of the North. #archaeohistories

Here’s the pattern: Democrats - accuse Republicans of wanting violence, silence is violence, words are violence, etc. Democrats - try to assassinate the president Democrats - accuse Republicans of wanting violence, dogwhistle violence, institutional violence, etc. Democrats - try to assassinate the president again Democrats - accuse Republicans of wanting violence, etc. Democrats - try to assassinate @SteveScalise Democrats - accuse Republicans of wanting violence, etc. Democrats - release murderers like Shaquille Taylor and DeCarlos Brown Jr & defend them after they kill again (Nashville is preparing to release Taylor again by the way) Democrats - @VanJones68 accuse Republicans of metaphorical/rhetorical violence, etc. Democrats - murder Charlie Kirk

There are armed men on the loose in Nashville assaulting people with rifles. Comrade O’Connell is either unwilling, ineffective, or inept—either way, citizens across our state deserve to be safe. If woke mayors can’t run their cities, MAGA will do it for them. Send in the troops.
