Reflecting on the Afghanistan war, America’s longest conflict that cost the lives of nearly 2,500 U.S. service members, Lt. Col. William Swenson, U.S Army (Ret.), said “there was loss of life because we believed in the mission, and ultimately, as service members, that's what we do.” “Our war is part of our history. Our service overseas is part of our history. If we don't tell these stories, we as a nation don't know how to always improve,” he told Margaret Brennan. “We are an imperfect nation that's always trying to improve, and it's through our history as a lens that we look forward on how to do better next time.”

Trump: We fixed inflation. We fixed almost everything including eight wars. The reason they had the highest inflation in the history of our country is because they have the highest prices. But we brought them down, and now we have normal inflation

We know that history without an understanding of Biblical influence is dishonest to education. Oklahoma kids will have access and know that we are investing in their future. We are putting the Bible in every classroom!

.James Talarico: Why do we have a trillionaire when veterans are sleeping on the streets? I’m all for success, but this is not success. This is hoarding. The reason poverty still exists in the wealthiest country in human history is not because we can’t feed the poor. It’s because we can’t satisfy the rich.

🧵 We live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world, and yet people in the UK are going without the essentials we all need to get by. We can’t always deal with what life throws at us on our own, and we need a system in place that supports us all. ⤵️

“When I approach history, I think, of course, people behave selfishly, greedily, and sadistically because that’s in us; we would be no different.” In this clip, Dominic Sandbrook discusses how history is often told in black and white. He emphasises the importance of understanding the complexities of human behaviour and how the tone in which history is told shapes our perception of it.

We are witnessing a short squeeze on conspiracy theorists. They are now releasing the things we have known for the past 30 years in order to normalize the information. Essentially removing the power we have over them. We are not looking for the truth, we know it. We want accountability, and this is how they deny us our goals.
