Happy National Vodka Day!
While he was the highest ranking U.S. Navy officer in Berlin following the surrender of Germany in 1945, CAPT Arthur "Speedy" Graubart went to the Reich Chancellery and got the Russian guards drunk on vodka so that he could nab the large swastika banner that had been the backdrop for many of Hitler's speeches. The banner is now at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.

A second even larger rogue network discovered...

The wacky Left is full of rage, anger and faulty confidence in the power of aggression to win any confrontation. Decades of success have convinced them the public wants peace at any price rather than disruption. It has always worked. The progressive immediate action drill is to take the offensive, assume grievance, evince max outrage. Gain local narrative superiority. The lawyers and the media will help you break contact before the foe can respond.
This combined arms approach mostly worked in an era when the left held an overwhelming advantage in professional activists, media coverage and networking. They still hold an advantage but it's been eroded by networked populism. Worst of all for the Left is progressive united fronts have been shattered by near peer allies like Muslims and organized crime who very often engage in adventurism (from the left wing POV). This has undermined centralism and is being exploited by the populists. The old tactics are failing.
"Hardline conservative" set to be named Japanese PM...

Right-wing Sanae Takaichi is set to be Japan’s first female prime minister
It’s not just Japan.
Earlier today a right-wing populist party, the ANO party, won the parliamentary elections in the Czech Republic. They are euro-skeptic, anti-immigrant, anti EU’s green deal, and pro abundance / pro-growth.
As usual, Western media applies the only lens they know, going so far as to call him "Czech Trump." This signals a shift in the balance of power in Europe as the return to power of ANO could potentially revive the Visegrad Four which includes Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. The Visegrad alliance is unique whereby these are the only EU countries that did not succumb to infinity immigration. They are also former communist countries and are highly resistant to woke ideology.

This poor democrat is either suffering from Alzheimers or amnesia or just plain lefty stupid. Fred is in front of everyone by forgetting President Eisenhower deployed the 101st Airborne to Arkansas when the local authorities refused to ensure security.
With bayonets...

Eisenhower wasn't the only one. There were a dozen other US presidents that did the same.

Actress Lea Thompson says that she still has the Les Paul guitar, "Cherry Bomb," and sometimes still plays it.
According to reports at the time of the movie's release, George Lucas had just built the $50-million Skywalker Ranch complex, and was counting on this film to get him back in the black. When it bombed, he was forced to start selling off assets to stay afloat. His friend Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple Computer, offered to help by buying Lucasfilm's newly-launched CGI animation division for a price well above market value. Lucas, in dire straits and thankful for the assistance, agreed. That division eventually became Pixar Animation Studios.
