@LarrySteve1488 @MrPitbull07 Perhaps you should refrain from emitting an opinion, furthermore a dismissive one, on a subject you obviously don’t know much about? He did defend France, scoring one of the very few victories of 1940, was therefore sent ON ORDERS to London to try to keep them in the fight.

@MrPitbull07 Somehow I don't remember de Gaulle as being great, he sure didn't defend France and left for the safety of England. Just another wind bag politician.

He wanted to sleep forever next to a young woman named Anne. When the great General Charles de Gaulle breathed his last in 1970, the world expected a funeral of unmatched scale in the heart of Paris. He didn’t want the Arc de Triomphe. Instead, he chose a quiet, humble grave in the village of Colombey-les-Deux-Églises to stay forever near her beloved Anne. Anne was born on New Year’s Day in 1928. She was the youngest of de Gaulle's three children and was born with Down syndrome. At that time, life was difficult for children like her. Doctors and neighbors sometimes said unkind things, believing that having a child with a disability brought shame or was a sign of “bad blood.” Many families in high society hid their children in institutions to protect their reputation. But Charles and his wife, Yvonne, were not like other people. They looked at their daughter and saw only a blessing. They refused to send her away, choosing instead to raise her in a home filled with laughter, alongside her brother Philippe and her sister Élisabeth. While the rest of the world saw a towering, stern General with a face of stone, Anne saw a father who would drop to his knees to play. To his soldiers, De Gaulle was a man of iron. To Anne, he was a man of songs and stories. He would dance for her, sing to her, and tell her long tales just to see her smile. His associates were often shocked to see the most powerful man in France acting like a playful child. Whenever someone asked about her, De Gaulle would simply say, “She is my joy.” He didn’t see her as a burden. In fact, he believed she was his greatest teacher. In the middle of World War II, when the weight of the world was on his shoulders, he found peace only in her company. She didn’t care about politics, borders, or war. She only cared about her father. He treated her with total equality, making sure she knew she was just as important as any king or president. The family’s love eventually turned into a mission. After the war ended, Charles and Yvonne used their own resources to start the Fondation Anne de Gaulle. They bought a beautiful old chateau to create a safe, loving home for young women with intellectual disabilities who had been abandoned by their own families. They wanted every girl to have the dignity that Anne had. Tragically, Anne’s time on earth was short. In February 1948, she caught pneumonia. She died in her father’s arms just after her 20th birthday. As the General looked down at his daughter’s peaceful face, he whispered a sentence that people still remember today: “Now, she is like the others.” He meant that in heaven, she was finally free from the physical limits and the cruel judgments of a world that didn’t understand her. But he never forgot her. He carried her photo in his pocket every single day. In 1962, when assassins sprayed his car with bullets, one bullet hit the frame of Anne’s photo sitting on the back shelf. He truly believed his daughter had saved his life from beyond the grave. Even though people in those days did not understand children like Anne, her family saw her as a gift. Their story reminds us that everyone has something special, and it is our job to make sure no one is overlooked. We should always be proud of the people we love. Real greatness is not about winning battles or earning titles. It is shown by how we treat those who cannot give us anything in return. Love is not about being perfect; it is about noticing the good in every person and protecting it.

Saying that France is not helping the war effort is a blatant lie. France is helping, the regime in Iran. It is actively sabotaging US war efforts by closing its airspace to US aircraft.

@BrentToderian This policy has cut Paris from its 10millions suburbans: since they do not have parking spots and that common transportation, albeit dense, is impractical in most cases ( station too far from home-long commutes-wait times-operating hours): they’re not coming, shops are closing.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

"From a European standpoint, this amounted to a direct betrayal of shared strategic interests." Perhaps shared European shared strategic interests, not Americas. “Washington opposed the maintenance of European colonial structures because they conflicted with its own strategic objectives. It sought access, influence, and alignment in newly independent states. European empires were obstacles to that expansion. By forcing Britain and France to withdraw in Suez, the United States demonstrated that it would not support the preservation of their overseas systems.” Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower, like Trump, puts America first - as all American Presidents should.

In 1956, the UK 🇬🇧 and France 🇫🇷 requested America's help to secure the Suez Canal. America 🍔 replied "FUCK OFF", humiliated its allies, made a deal with the enemies of the West, and destroyed European empires. Here is the whole story: In July 1956, Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal, controlled until then by Britain and France. They prepared a joint response with Israel, expecting at minimum passive support from Washington. That support never came. The United States refused to endorse the operation and moved rapidly to block it. The method was not rhetorical; it was financial and immediate. Washington threatened the stability of the British currency, refused emergency assistance, and signaled that it would not tolerate a prolonged intervention. At the United Nations, it backed resolutions calling for a ceasefire and withdrawal. The message was explicit: stop, or face systemic consequences. The effect was brutal. British and French forces had achieved their immediate military objectives on the ground, but the operation collapsed under American pressure. Within days, both governments were forced into a humiliating retreat. Two European powers that had dominated global trade routes for a century were publicly compelled to reverse course by their principal ally. This was not a minor disagreement inside an alliance. It was a rupture that exposed a hierarchy. The United States did not merely refuse assistance; it actively sabotaged the operation. From a European standpoint, this amounted to a direct betrayal of shared strategic interests. The consequences were immediate and long-term. Suez marked the definitive end of independent British and French power projection. After 1956, neither country could conduct a major external operation without American approval. Political elites in both capitals understood that their room for maneuver had narrowed to what Washington would tolerate. Decolonization accelerated sharply. The signal sent to colonial administrations was clear: the metropole could no longer guarantee control if challenged. In Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, independence movements gained momentum as the credibility of European authority collapsed. The imperial framework, already under strain, unraveled faster after Suez. The American role in this shift was decisive. Washington opposed the maintenance of European colonial structures because they conflicted with its own strategic objectives. It sought access, influence, and alignment in newly independent states. European empires were obstacles to that expansion. By forcing Britain and France to withdraw in Suez, the United States demonstrated that it would not support the preservation of their overseas systems. What followed was a redistribution of influence. As European control receded, American economic, financial, and security networks expanded into the same regions. Oil arrangements, military partnerships, and monetary dependence increasingly aligned with US structures. The old empires disappeared, but their space did not remain empty. Suez was therefore not only the end of a crisis. It was the moment when Western leadership shifted definitively across the Atlantic. Britain and France lost the capacity to act autonomously on the world stage, and the United States established the terms under which the rest of the West would operate.

Confession d'un ami prof : "on sent bien l'absence des gamins qui font l'aïd aujourd'hui, la classe est calme et ça bosse, même les autres élèves sont soulagés, il y en a un qui nous a sorti : monsieur c'est raciste si on dit qu'on est mieux quand les arabes sont pas là ?" 🤣

As contagious as it is to watch Belushi, you just can't take your eyes off of Aykroyd. The sheer amount of talent on that small stage is staggering. The Blues Brothers performing 'Soul Man' live on SNL, in 1978. 47 years apart yet it is still incredibly impressive.

@the_transit_guy Great Now let’s talk about all the shops and restaurants that have closed because the (ten millions) suburbians aren’t coming anymore since they have nowhere to park and the common transportation system did not provide replacement.

A reminder that Mayor Anne Hidalgo will go down as one of the most consequential mayors of the modern time: a mayor who literally built 600 miles of bike lanes and made hundreds of streets car free in her 12 years as Paris mayor. Bravo.

💔 LOVE OR DEATH: The Saudi Princess Executed For Daring To Choose Her Heart 💔 On July 15, 1977, in Jeddah, 19-year-old Princess Misha’al bint Fahd Al Saud was brutally executed for adultery. Desperate to escape a forced arranged marriage she despised, she risked everything to elope with the man she truly loved — fleeing the kingdom only to be hunted down and condemned. While the world whispered that her powerful grandfather ordered the killing to protect royal family honor, the official death sentence came straight from Sharia law itself. A royal bloodline… shattered by forbidden love. In a world where tradition can demand the ultimate price — what would YOU risk everything for? 💔
