Thank you for this video. I have seen quite a few then and nows from many different channels all with good and not so good ways of transitioning. This is a good example of how important it is to transition BACK to original clip as it adds to the impact. Some don't and It loses a lot of the effect.
"There is a reason they are referred to as the greatest generation of our time. They faced unbelievable odds and witnessed horrors like they had never seen before. Yet they continued to charge forward. Many of them were just boys as young as 16,17, and 18 yrs old. A lot of them lied to the military recruiters at the time of their enlistment. Many signing up to go to war right after the attack on Pearl Harbor. These boys became men on that day. Many with vengeance on their minds and patriotism in their hearts. May God bless everyone of them. Because without their sacrifice the world would be a very different place today. God bless them all and God bless America. May we never forget."
And they fostered the generation that slowly began the end of Jim Crow and black/ white separation. TD
"Profanity, once seen as taboo in politics, has been increasingly common to hear from lawmakers and candidates on both sides of the aisle over the last few years, in line with a broader societal uptick in the acceptance of profanity across the last few decades."

"A spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) hit back, arguing that Democrats “seem obsessed with saying ‘f‑‑‑ing’ and ‘a‑‑’ as the strategy to win back the voters that rejected them in 2024.” They pointed The Hill to examples ofsitting congressional Democrats leaning on the language lately." . . .

"But Nadler’s legislative director sent out an email to fellow Democratic aides on Thursday, asking for staffers to let each other know when their boss signs onto a bill or resolution in the future." . . .
Why it matters: In addition to many House Democrats seeing the push as both premature and counterproductive, some are also chafing at Thanedar's tactics in drumming up support for his impeachment articles.
Four House Democrats who were briefly listed as co-sponsors have all since withdrawn, with some saying they wrongly believed leadership was supporting the measure.
Sources told Axios that Thanedar also signed at least one colleague on as a co-sponsor based on a vague one-on-one conversation without notifying their staff.
The charges against Trump include obstruction of justice, abuse of power, bribery and corruption and "tyranny," mostly based on the president's iron-fisted consolidation of power in his second term.
His announcement came just hours after Thanedar drew a primary challenge from state Rep. Donavan McKinney as part of persistent efforts by Democrats in his district to oust him.
What they're saying: House Intelligence Committee ranking member Jim Himes (D-Conn.), asked whether Thanedar's efforts are being taken seriously by leadership, told Axios, "I don't think so."
"There is a long, long, long way to go before the concept of impeachment is on the table," he added.
Said House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.): "The fact that people have withdrawn ... suggests people wanted to think through, collectively, the timing of it."
"In a stunning turn of events that has left the Catholic Church reeling and Twitter ablaze, pop superstar Katy Perry has declared herself the new Pope, citing an intense 11-minute session of reading a Bible verse as her divine qualification. The announcement, made via a glittery Instagram Live stream, has sparked global confusion, theological debates, and a surge in sales of her 2013 hit, Roar.
“ 'I was just vibing with my morning smoothie, flipping through the Bible app, you know, as one does,” Perry explained to her 200 million followers, dressed in a bedazzled mitre she claimed was “thrifted from Etsy.” “I read John 3:16 for, like, 11 minutes straight, and I felt this cosmic energy. The Holy Spirit DM’d me and was like, ‘Girl, you’re Pope now.’ So, here I am. Pope Katy I, reporting for duty!' ” . . . Genesius Times
If real change is going to come to academic culture, criticism must be ceaseless, pointed, and deep. It is not enough to expose the students and professors shouting “Death to Israel” at places like Columbia University. The academic culture that breeds and rewards such figures—and their name is legion—must be exposed for what it is: a thoroughly politicized rejection of the principles that inform liberal learning.
"Academia is once again in the news. Donald Trump’s recent commencement addressat the University of Alabama, where he said that America’s “next chapter will not be written by The Harvard Crimson, it will be written by you—the Crimson Tide,” sounded one leitmotif of the new, Trump-inspired populism that is washing over the academic establishment. Trump’s announcement that he wasseeking to remove Harvard’s tax-exempt statussounded another.
"These days, whenever the public’s attention is roused by academia, the oculus of media scrutiny turns up references to my bookTenured Radicals, first published more than 30 years ago but subsequently expanded and updated several times.
"Given the renewed interest in academic culture, I thought I would adapt a few thoughts from the introduction to the most recent edition of the book.
"Academic life, like the rest of social life, unfolds within a frame of rules and permissions. At one end, there are things that one must (or must not) do; at the other end, there is the rule of whim. The middle range, in which behavior is neither explicitly governed by rules nor entirely free, is that realm governed by what the British jurist John Fletcher Moulton, writing in the early 1920s, called “Obedience to the Unenforceable.”
"This middle realm is a place governed not by law or mere caprice but by virtues such as duty, fairness, judgment, and taste. In a word, it is the “domain of Manners,” which “covers all cases of right doing where there is no one to make you do it but yourself.”
"A good index of the health of any social institution is its allegiance to the strictures that define this middle realm. “In the changes that are taking place in the world around us,” Moulton wrote, “one of those which is fraught with grave peril is the discredit into which this idea of the middle land is falling.” One example was the abuse of free speech in political debate: “We have unrestricted freedom of debate,” say the radicals, “We will use it so as to destroy debate.”
"The repudiation of obedience to the unenforceable is at the center of what makes academic life (and not only academic life) today so noxious. The contraction of the “domain of Manners” creates a vacuum that is filled on one side by increasing regulation—speech codes, rules for all aspects of social life, efforts to determine by legislation (from the right as well as from the left) what should follow freely from responsible behavior—and on the other side by increased license.
"More and more, it seems, academia (like other aspects of elite cultural life) has reneged on its compact with society. One of the great ironies that attends the triumph of political correctness is that in department after department of academic life, what began as a demand for emancipation recoiled, turned rancid, and developed into new forms of tyranny and control. As Alan Charles Kors notedin an essay from 2008,
…"under the heirs of the academic Sixties, we moved on campus after campus from their Free Speech Movement to their politically correct speech codes; from their abolition of mandatory chapel to their imposition of Orwellian mandatory sensitivity and multicultural training; from their freedom to smoke pot unmolested to their war today against the kegs and spirits—literal and metaphorical—of today’s students; from their acquisition of young adult status to their infantilization of “kids” who lack their insight; from their self-proclaimed dreams of racial and sexual integration to their ever more balkanized campuses organized on principles of group characteristics and group responsibility; from their right to define themselves as individuals—a foundational right—to their official, imposed, and politically orthodox notions of identity. American college students became the victims of a generational swindle of truly epic proportions." . . . More here...
"Not to be outdone, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) appeared on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” where, when asked how people should be reacting to the arrests of rogue judges, he responded by stating: “The people need to manifest their outrage about these assaults on judicial independence.”
"Democrats would root for tooth decay over oral hygiene and Snidely Whiplash over Dudley Do-Right.
"Something about them is clearly not right.
"To wit: California Democrats have yet again blocked efforts to strengthen protections against underage sex trafficking, this time in the form of a bill to make it a felony to purchase 16- or 17-year-olds for sex.
"But, hey, who are we to judge if a California Democrat — or someone from a “marginalized” group -- wants to purchase a 16 or 17-year-old for sex?
"Meanwhile, Minnesota Democrats killed an amendment to a crime and public safety bill that would have required law enforcement agencies to report illegal aliens to ICE when they are arrested for a violent crime. In doing so, they ignored the desperate and pitiful pleas of a man whose mother was brutally murdered and beheaded by an illegal alien on the streets of a Minneapolis suburb in the middle of the afternoon.
"At this point, one is tempted to say, “What the eff? I mean what the effing eff?” But that would be for nought. Democrats gotta Democrat, right? I mean, the party wanted to enslave blacks a couple hundred years ago, and now wants to free violent criminals.
"Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker recently told a group of Democrat activists and donors in New Hampshire that he wants to see “mass protests” against the Trump administration." . . .
"Democrats and progressives root for the fire as opposed to the fire department. They quite literally support evil over good. If violence in the streets and/or presidential assassinations are what it takes for them to stay in power, they then say, “so be it.”
"They are an existential threat to the “democracy” they purport to want to save.
"Granted, Mayorkas did not trick banks into making money. But what he did is still against the law. He’s got to answer for the hundreds of thousands of American deaths he caused, intentionally and maliciously."
"As soon as President Donald Trump left office in 2021, we had to endure four years of liberals concocting preposterous court cases against him, gleefully taking his mug shot (how did that work out?), enforcing petty misdemeanors as if they were violent felonies, and treating standard politicking as if it were a RICO conspiracy.
"This, we were told, was to vindicate the principle that no man is above the law. (At least Democrats had finally foundsomebodythey were willing to prosecute.)
"And speaking of men who behave as if they’re above the law, I give you Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Biden’s secretary of homeland security, and, uh … oh, yes, the biggest serial killer in U.S. history.
"Trump’s got to prosecute him for murder. Whether as an accessory to murder, a murder co-conspirator or felony-murderer, Mayorkas is responsible, under various state and federal laws, for every American killed by an illegal alien he let into our country, exactly the same as if he himself had personally raped and strangled little girls, sold children into sex slavery, trafficked Fentanyl, loaded up on Mezcal before smashing into a family of five, or been called “Maryland man” by the media.
"Is this a creative use of the law? Let’s look to Democrats as our guide.
"Soon-to-be-indicted New York Attorney General Leticia James charged Trump with fraud for overestimating the value of his properties to sophisticated financial institutions, whom she imagined simply accepted those estimates at face value before handing him multiple millions of dollars." . . .
