The Nazis couldn’t kill Thomas E. Gwynn, and the communists failed, too — though he earned a dozen Purple Hearts fighting them. But no one lives forever; not even the Tennessean who called himself “the greatest Ranger that ever was.” Gwynn died Monday, just two months from turning 107. Read about his life & legacy here: stripes.com/veterans/2026-…

What an incredible English gentleman. He stood up to shake hands at the age of 90.

Hi to my new international readers. I was a successful UK comedy writer until I spoke out against men in women's sports and private spaces, and children being mutilated and sterilised in gender clinics. The fight is far from over so join me if any of this interests you.

Police got a call about a suspicious property with dog cries coming from a shed, but what led them to the truth was a German shepherd that refused to let the officers go. When officers arrived, they did not see anyone outside and at first the property looked almost empty. Then they noticed a German shepherd running straight toward them. They prepared for the worst, but instead of attacking, the dog kept barking, tugging at their legs, and acting like it wanted them to follow. The officers followed the dog to a shed near the back of the property. They hesitated at first and knocked, unsure of what they would find, but the sound of barking from inside kept bothering one of them. Instead of waiting any longer, they forced the door open and found multiple dogs trapped inside small cages. As the investigation continued, officers uncovered what they believed was an illegal dog meat operation in Mexico. And in the end, people said the dogs were only saved because one German shepherd was smart enough to lead police straight to them.

Bracelet of gold set with sapphires, pearls and rose-cut diamonds, made in Russia, St Petersburg, about 1890. Victoria & Albert Museum. The design of this bracelet combines geometry, one of the recurrent inspirations for jewellery, with a typically nineteenth-century glance back to the past. The substantial areas of gold and the sapphires, polished as cabochons, give the bracelet a medieval air, almost as if the bracelet were a simple crown.

Un sacerdote irlandés terminó una ceremonia nupcial, declaró a la pareja marido y mujer y prosiguió sin pedirles que se besaran. La novia repetía una y otra vez «primer beso, primer beso» hasta que él finalmente entendió lo que pedía. El padre Healy hizo una pausa en su atril y dijo: "No se puede esperar que un viejo soltero recuerde algo así". Luego los miró y agregó: "Bueno, hagan lo que tengan que hacer". Había salido de su semi-retiro para oficiar porque había sido el sacerdote de la familia del novio toda su vida.

Reminds me of a true story, from the time of George VI. Police officer posted to the garden at Buck House leaves his post and goes for a little wander. After a short while he hets back to his post and there's King G himself stood outside the box. King G asks the copper, "Are you..." To which the copper replies (somewhat shakily it has to be said), "Yes sir". King G smiles and says, "Great, ... has just rung and asked me to pass on a message, he say's you're to watch yourself as he's about". 🤣

A young Guardsman 💂‍♂️ is on the gate at Buckingham palace. The RSM walks up to him and says "Right lad, the Queen is out on public duties I want to know the minute she gets back here, do you understand? The minute she's back you let me know". "Yes sir " says the young guardsman 💂‍♂️ So 10 minutes later a big limo pulls in through the gates, the young guardsman stops the car, pops his head in and says " scuse me ma'am are you the Queen? " "No I'm princess Ann" "ok sorry to delay you, proceed". The next limo pulls in and he sticks his head in the window " scuse me ma'am are you the Queen? " "No I'm princess Margaret". " Ok sorry to delay you ma'am, proceed." Next limo pulls in and same again, he sticks his head in the window, "Scuse me ma'am, are you the Queen?." "Yes I'm the Queen". "Right" he says. "Well make yourself fucking scarce love cos the RSM is looking for you!". 😁😁

🇫🇷🔴A French journalist says there is a shocking pattern of foreigners raping elderly women in France. Just this week, a Moroccan migrant was arrested for raping and torturing a 74-year-old woman in Romainville with a telescopic baton. "She’s raped, a 74-year-old woman, it’s unimaginable. And it happens again and again," said journalist Charlotte d’Ornellas "Our job is to bear witness to reality. And that’s why some people are at war with us, they don’t want us to show this reality. If we don’t talk about it, no one will." Here are 13 terrifying cases that @rmxnews has covered in the past few years – just in France. 🔺93- and 95-year-old women raped in their hospital beds at Victor Dupouy Hospital, Argenteuil, by 44-year-old Samir B. The 93-year-old later died of cardiac arrest. 🔺 78- and 68-year-old hospital patients sexually assaulted at Max-Fourestier Hospital, Nanterre, by 28-year-old Congolese migrant Ali Gandega, who said he was "forced" to rape because he had no girlfriend. 🔺83-year-old woman ("Odette") raped during a daytime burglary in La Penne-sur-Huveaune by an illegal Guinean migrant. Perpetrator sentenced to 12 years. 🔺75-year-old woman raped on New Year's morning during a break-in by an African migrant. 🔺80-year-old woman raped to death in Niort by an Afghan man. 🔺102-year-old nursing home resident in Rouen subjected to attempted rape by 39-year-old Laury Jean-Baptiste from Guadeloupe. She died less than a month later. He received 20 years. 🔺In 2025, a 72-year-old woman assaulted, raped, and robbed inside her own apartment in Paris. 🔺Elderly building caretaker raped at knifepoint in Paris by 24-year-old migrant Mohammed D., sentenced to 9 years. 🔺Elderly woman raped in her Paris apartment after an illegal Algerian migrant offered to help her with her groceries. 🔺67-year-old woman subjected to attempted rape near Gare du Nord, Paris, by a 27-year-old illegal Tunisian migrant. Passersby intervened. 🔺Another victim, also 67, also suffered an attempted rape in the French town of Tours by an intoxicated Sudanese asylum seeker. 🔺Actu 17 news reported how a 21-year-old illegal migrant of unknown nationality was arrested following the sexual assault of a 51-year-old woman as she returned to her home in Avignon. 🔺92-year-old nursing home resident sexually assaulted by Algerian nurse Mohamed D. in Bédarrides. He received 4 years.

14 year old kid in my neighborhood came by my house. Very sharp. Polite, “Yes Sir” and “No Sir”. Business card and everything. Offered to power wash, soap, and clean out my garbage cans. $25/can. I said, sure. Why not. They’re gross. I’ve got 2, so gave him $50. I asked how many houses he did in our neighborhood. “All of them. About 60.” And how often do you do them? “I try to do quarterly.” $3000 a quarter for a freshman. Of course…he also does power washing, snow shoveling, window cleaning, all of the above. Building a mailing list and referrals. Said he’s recruited two friends to help him do the work. Savvy kid. Going to do well in this world.

Brian Jacques explains where the inspiration for Redwall came from: "Among today's writers for children, I may be the luckiest one of all. During my adult life I've had several careers, one of which was driving a milk lorry (a delivery truck, for you Yanks!). One of my stops was the Royal School for the Blind in Liverpool. When I realized that there were people on the staff whom I had known when I was growing up, I asked if there were anything I could do to help the kids? I felt, I suppose, that children are the most defenseless beings in the world; they have no power, no money, no political lobby. And to be deaf or blind made them even more defenseless. It was suggested that I might want to come and read to the children once a week, and I agreed. The books I was given to read were about dark subjects — alcoholic parents, teen-age pregnancy, drug abuse — all perfectly horrid and depressing. The children didn't like the books very much and I positively hated them. I wanted to give them the sense of adventure that I had when a boy, reading Robinson Crusoe or Treasure Island. Something that could take them out of themselves and their situation. So I went home and decided to write a story about defenseless mice — there's no creature on earth more helpless than a mouse, is there? I thought the children could identify with a mouse, and I also knew that I had to make the action of the story fast and furious to keep their interest. It had to be highly descriptive so that the children would be able to 'see' the story in their minds as much as they were able. Well, a published author, a friend of mine, read the raw manuscript and without my knowledge sent it to a London publisher and the Redwall books were born."
