The D-Day Invasion At Normandy May Not Have Succeeded Without The Mulberry Harbors
*Warfare History Network* *History, Europe* The Mulberry artificial harbors proved a logistical wonder along the beaches of Normandy. No Allied amphibious invasion in World War II left such a bitter legacy as Operation Jubilee, the ill-fated British-Canadian raid on the northern French port of Dieppe on Wednesday, August 19, 1942. Despite partial successes to the west and the east, the main assault on the shingled beaches by 5,000 men of General Pip Roberts’s Canadian 2nd Infantry Division, 1,000 British Commandos met resistance far more fierce than expected. Many of the Canadia... more »
Death At Devil's Den: Why The Battle Of Gettysburg Was So Important
*Warfare History Network* *History, * Named by locals, Devil’s Den saw the Devil’s work during the Battle of Gettysburg as Blue and Gray fought desperately among the boulders. The afternoon of July 2, 1863 was hot and cloudless. Tens of thousands of soldiers in blue and gray had spent the morning in the humid, uncomfortable heat, maneuvering for position and occasionally exchanging shots as they eyed one another with resolution. For more than a day, portions of the two armies had ferociously grappled with one another in and around the small but strategically situated Pennsylvania... more »

Look, Mama! Flying Monkeys! GOP Politicos Call Biden a “Moderate” – Progressives Know Better
It is not enough that Americans who love our Constitutional, God-given rights have to battle the Democrat Socialists first-hand. No, we also have to defeat the growing ranks of RINOs – those active and retired card-carrying members of the GOP who tread the path marked by John McCain, Pierre Delecto, and John Kasich. There is a small but growing claque of noisy never-Trumpers in the GOP, doing their best to subvert 45’s re-election with two ludicrous claims. First, these jackwagons believe Trump’s first term has proven he is “unfit to govern”. There is no need to rehash Trump’s many ... more »

[image: tenn-school-english-lesson-teaches-that-whites-are-racists-who-oppress-minorities] If you want to know why some teachers fear how virtual learning allows parents to witness their instruction, you don’t have to look further than an “English” lesson in Tennessee.

Why Britain's Vanguard-Class Submarines Are No Joke

DNC Featured Native Speakers But Their Issues Remain Under-addressed

On Contact: Teaching History For Indoctrination
"The teaching of history in our schools is not an impartial or neutral discipline. It is at its core about justifying the power of the ruling elites in the present by defining the ruling elites in the past. This means that history as it is taught in our schools is distorted and at times fabricated to achieve these ends. Racism, injustices, lies and crimes of the ruling elites are minimized or ignored. Problematic historical figures such as the overt racist and imperialist Woodrow Wilson are transformed into mythical social archetypes whose darker actions, including the decision to... more »

*Andrew Davies* *Security, World* [image: Reuters] But in terms of avoiding detection, being under the water will always be preferable to being on top of it. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *The ability to quickly and reliably find submarines would certainly change their cost benefit calculus, and the notion of making the ocean ‘transparent’ isn’t a new one.
