WILMINGTON, DE—To commemorate the “completely fair and honest” 2020 election, Joe Biden has announced a brand new memoir called “If I Rigged It.” The book is already being met with critical acclaim for its compelling description of a totally hypothetical situation where Biden and the Democrats fraudulently steal the election. “Listen here, Jack– I didn’t steal the election,” said Biden to a group of adoring fans in the press. “But if I had stolen the election, this is how I would have done it.

Are we really DOOMED to accept trigger warnings for Dad's Army on BBC Two?
Craig, Is the BBC biased? - 6 hours ago
My Dad, now aged 89, loves *Dad's Army*. It's been his favourite programme for nigh on 50 years. It's one of his few remaining connections to the BBC - though I lessened that further a few years ago by buying him a boxed DVD set of the complete series. And the BBC's been putting it out for decades, even now, on Saturday nights on BBC Two, simply because people still enjoy watching it, what with it being funny and well acted and beautifully written and consummately crafted and much, much better than most of the BBC's present comedy output. BBC Two broadcast the classic 1971...

Mark IV Tank: the Reason the British War Machine Became So Iconic
The National Interest - 7 hours ago
*History, Europe* By 1917 standards, the Mark IV was a marvel of modern technology. Although armored warfare was still in its infancy, the British Mark IV was one of the more iconic WW1 tanks that were developed for the Great War. The “Mark IV” tank of World War I was rhomboidal in shape and came in two basic versions: male and female. The male version featured four machine guns and two 6-pounder (57mm) guns that were mounted on side extensions called *sponsons.* By contrast, the female version had only machine guns. Each vehicle was given a name corresponding to the letter design...
