On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 19,000 British soldiers were sent to their deaths - forced to march into a flurry of machine gun fire, and shot by their own officers if they refused.
War reduces humans to cannon-fodder.
Remember that this #RemembranceDay.

Jeff Foxworthy and Muslims
Jeff Foxworthy writes....... Have you ever wondered why it's OK to make jokes about Catholics, Jews, Christians, the Pope, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women, blacks/whites, red necks, etc., but it's insensitive to make jokes about the Muslims?
Well, it's time to level the playing field and be politically incorrect, by including our friends, the Muslims, on this grandiose list. So Jeff Foxworthy did his part to include the Muslims on his list ...
1. If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but morally object to the use of liquor, you may be a Muslim.
2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but can't afford shoes, you may be a Muslim.
3. If you have more wives than teeth, you may be a Muslim.
5. If you think vests come in two styles, bullet-proof and suicide, you may be a Muslim.
6. If you can't think of anyone that you haven't declared jihad against, you may be a Muslim.
7. If you consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, you may be a Muslim.
8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses, other than setting off roadside bombs, you may be a Muslim.
9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, then you, too, may be a Muslim.
10. If you find this offensive and do not forward it, you are part of the problem here in America … but if you delete this, you are most likely a Muslim. Eishhhhhh

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

People wonder why I'm so obsessed with donkeys. I've looked into it, and my only finding is that the rest of you are underdoing it.
The donkey was built for the ground where everything else gives up. It lives on thorn and scrub that a horse would starve beside, climbs rock on hooves like chisels, cools itself through those ears, and can lose nearly a third of its body weight in water, carry on eating, then drink 25 litres in three minutes and walk off as if nothing happened. We tamed it 7,000 years ago in the dry country of East Africa, and it has been the animal of the hard places ever since.
So it was the donkey, long before the horse, that carried civilisation on its back. One of Egypt's first pharaohs was buried at Abydos with ten donkeys laid in graves beside him, every spine worn from a lifetime under loads. The grain, the salt, the copper and the news of the ancient world moved at a donkey's pace, and wherever a hill is still too steep for a wheel, they still do.
The same animal fed our babies. Donkey milk is the closest milk on earth to a human mother's, Hippocrates prescribed it, and the foundling hospital in Paris kept a stable of jennies so the orphans could be put straight to the udder. A fair share of Europe's abandoned children owe their first month to a donkey, and most of those donkeys carry a dark cross down the back and across the shoulders, which the old story says was given to them on Good Friday.
It carried our wounded too. On the beach at Gallipoli a stretcher-bearer from South Shields found a stray donkey, and for 24 days the two of them walked up and down Shrapnel Gully under fire bringing broken men down to the boats, until a machine gun got the man. The donkey went back up with the next one. Of everything the Anzacs brought home from that campaign, the thing they chose to remember was a donkey.
Then there is the stubbornness, the one fact everybody is sure of, and it is the opposite of the truth. A horse meets danger by bolting, which is why horses die on cliff paths. A donkey stops, looks at the thing in front of it, and makes a decision, and it will refuse to step into water it cannot see the bottom of because it is right not to. For 7,000 years we have been calling a risk assessment an attitude.
Put one in a field of ewes and it appoints itself. A fox or a loose dog comes through the hedge and the donkey goes at it, head down, front feet first, and keeps going until the thing has gone. Nobody trains that in. It decided they were its sheep.
It remembers a face and a field after 25 years. It will stand over a dying companion for a day. It lives to 40 and outlasts half the people who ever owned it.
There are about 50 million of them alive, carrying water, firewood and children for the poorest people on earth, and close to 6 million a year are now killed for their hides, boiled down into a gelatine sold as a tonic. The animal that did the most work for the least thanks is being melted into a wellness product.
Seven thousand years of hauling us uphill, feeding our orphans and carrying our wounded, and the best we managed in return was to turn its name into an insult.
So no. Not nearly obsessed enough.

En Polonia la verdad saldrá a la luz y desmentirá la ridícula afirmación del ministro del interior del gobierno de Tusk de que el individuo que mató indiscriminadamente en la plaza mayor de Cracovia a seis polacos e hirió a quince y antes había matado al parecer a tres miembro de su familia, era un ultraderechista. Eso es lo que le vendría de perlas a Donald Tusk con su gobierno izquierdista en pleno golpe de Estado contra la Constitución, contra el Tribunal Constitucional y contra el Jefe del Estado, Karol Nawrocki.
Un ultraderechista polaco no sale a matar compatriotas.
Tusk se ha apresurado a utilizar el atentado contra las fuerzas conservadoras y nacionales que resisten al intento dw golpe de estado del primer ministro. Este intenta impedir con apoyo de Bruselas y Berlín y medidas ilegales que, las fuerzas patriotas le arrollen a él y a su gobierno globalista y títere.

On November 7, 1920, in the strictest secrecy, the bodies of four unidentified British soldiers were exhumed from temporary cemeteries in Ypres, Arras, the Aisne, and the Somme. None of the soldiers who dug up the bodies were told why. The remains were taken to military headquarters at Saint-Pol-sur-Ternoise, France.
There, the bodies were covered with Union Jack flags. A guard was posted, and Brigadier General Wyatt and Colonel Gell randomly selected one of the four fallen soldiers.
The other three bodies were reburied. A French guard of honour was appointed to stand beside the coffin of the chosen soldier throughout the night.
On the morning of November 8, a specially designed oak coffin arrived, made from timber grown in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. The remains of the Unknown Warrior were placed inside.
A Crusader's sword was mounted on top, along with a shield bearing the inscription:
"A British Warrior who fell in the GREAT WAR 1914–1918 for King and Country."
On November 9, the Unknown Warrior, accompanied by a guard of honour, was transported on a horse-drawn carriage. He was received by Marshal Ferdinand Foch before being taken aboard HMS Verdun for the journey to Dover.
The coffin rested on the deck, covered with wreaths and surrounded by a French guard of honour.
Upon arrival in Dover, the Unknown Warrior was greeted with a nineteen-gun salute — an honour normally reserved for field marshals.
A special train then carried the coffin to Victoria Station in London, where it remained overnight.
On the morning of November 11, 1920, exactly two years after the guns fell silent on the Western Front, the Unknown Warrior was finally taken to Westminster Abbey.
The idea of honouring an unidentified fallen soldier came from a British Army chaplain named David Railton, who had served on the front lines during the Great War.
The Union Jack he had used as an altar cloth during the war was the same flag that covered the coffin.
Railton wanted the families of the hundreds of thousands of servicemen whose remains had never been identified to believe that the Unknown Warrior might be their own lost husband, father, brother, or son.
A man without a name became a symbol of every soldier who never returned home.
A single grave became a place where an entire nation could mourn.
Every year on November 11, Britain remembers the Unknown Warrior and all those who gave their lives in war.
They had names. They had families. They had dreams. They had futures that war took away.
We may never know who lies beneath that stone.
But we know what he represents.
Lest we forget. 🌹

Dando partida no maior helicóptero de produção do planeta
O gigante que aparece no vídeo é o Mil Mi-26, conhecido pela OTAN como Halo. Desenvolvido na antiga União Soviética, ele é o maior helicóptero de produção em série já construído.
A partida impressiona: a fumaça expelida pelos motores, o ronco das turbinas e as gigantescas pás do rotor principal começando a girar revelam a dimensão dessa máquina.
ALGUMAS CURIOSIDADES SOBRE O GIGANTE:
Rotor principal: 32 metros de diâmetro e oito pás.
Motorização: dois motores turboeixo, com aproximadamente 11.400 cavalos de potência cada.
Capacidade de carga: até 20 toneladas.
Peso máximo de decolagem: aproximadamente 56 toneladas.
O Mi-26 foi projetado para transportar cargas extremamente pesadas, como veículos militares, equipamentos industriais e até outras aeronaves em operações específicas.
Além do uso militar, também participou de operações humanitárias e de resposta a desastres. Após o acidente nuclear de Chernobyl, em 1986, uma versão adaptada, o Mi-26S, foi empregada em missões de descontaminação da região. A aeronave também possui versões utilizadas no combate a incêndios e no transporte de cargas em áreas de difícil acesso.

The why?
Why am I so committed to fighting these fuckers?
Did you know your kids our kids muds will be the first generation in Australia to WORSE off than the generation before? Well they will be and that’s our fault.
It’s our fault because we didn’t stand sooner, didn’t fight harder and allowed a corrupt disgusting political class to sell out our kids and shatter their futures.
Our kids have feelings apparently we are supposed to give a fuck about their feelings. We are supposed to give every kid a trophy, let them play video games all day, be confused about them being a boy a girl a fucking cat, we are supposed to allow them to feel guilty about every horrible thing that has ever happened in the world like they had something to do with it.
Well their counterparts in 3rd world shithole countries with certain religious beliefs are learning to use weapons, rape stab kill , they are learning that our entire culture is fucking haram, they are learning jihad and infatada bullshit and our government is bringing these fuckers in 100mph you think you are sheltering your kids ? You are preparing them for victimhood. My daughter will not wear a burqa nor be sex slaved out by some some scumbag who thinks it’s acceptable and just part of these cultures.
You as parents are cowardly handing your children and their futures over to people who hate you and your kids. The government will NOT save you they are in on the joke .
As our generation requires 3 incomes in a household to maintain what a single income in the 80s could and parents are by design pitted as enemies with the political class deliberately playing them off against each other and they try desperately to stop us talking about it with their censorship. A man beaten to within an inch of his life by two visa holders who need to be jailed then fucking deported for having the audacity to fly One Nation Party banners in his own yard fuck these people. If you don’t stand now your cowardice is noted and you have effectively decided your children have no valid future and when you look them in the face you can pretend you love them but you have sold them out.
Fuck your feelings we are being invaded wake up.

🇦🇺💔 My fellow Australians, you do not need to keep living like this. None of you do.
Last night in Melbourne’s CBD, Jianming Feng was stabbed to death while delivering food.
He was 47 and a HungryPanda rider. A husband and father who left Shanxi, China nine years ago to support his family back home.
Police say he and another rider confronted a man tampering with their bikes on Frederick Way, near Queen Victoria Market. Feng was stabbed in the chest and died at the scene.
A 34-year-old rider was also stabbed and survived. A 51-year-old Footscray man is in custody.
He spent years working nights so his wife Xu, his kids and his elderly dad could get by. An ordinary conversation with his wife became their last.
This breaks my heart. 💔😭
Australia is a beautiful country. It always has been. But it is going down a bad road and something has to be done to stop this.
Only weeks ago, south of Brisbane in my home city, masked gunmen opened fire outside Fitzy’s Loganholme during a boxing night.
Nineteen year old Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau was shot in the head and neck. She died in hospital. Three others were also hit. A drive-by shooting, at a family event in Queensland.
And it is not just these two headlines.
Week after week, the news fills with knife attacks, street bashings, carjackings and weapons seizures.
Across Australia, robbery, sexual assault, car theft and other theft climbed hard after Covid. National car theft hit a 17-year high. Western Australia’s assault numbers are at a record. Victoria’s youth knife offending is climbing even as police seize thousands of blades. This is not one bad night, it is a pattern.
Stabbings.
Shootings.
Ordinary people just trying to work, enjoy themselves or walk home.
If the Australian government will not turn this around, then it is down to the people to force it and force it they must.
All Aussies need to come together and force change. Do not let our beautiful nation go down the toilet.
Australia is not a country where anyone should fear for their safety.
A hardworking Chinese dad delivering noodles should not die on a Melbourne street while delivering food.
A teenage girl should not die outside a Brisbane pub either.
Demand better.
Force better.
Before another family gets that phone call.

PEOPLE FIRST WILL EXPAND AUSTRALIAS RESERVATION POLICY FROM GAS TO IRON ORE AND COAL.
The way in which mining rights are granted in Australia needs to change. If entities are given mining rights then there must be an obligation to then manufacture a part of those minerals in Australia.
This is nothing new, Australia’s greatest bureaucrat was Sir Leo Hielscher. He refused to give Comalco an export licence for bauxite forcing them to build smelters in Gladstone to refine the bauxite into Alumina and Aluminium.
He also made BHP build Queenslands railway lines for coal trains if they wanted to export our coal.
Yet today, Australia is being sold out by mining billionaires who are squandering Australia’s wealth on their pet projects.
Twiggy Forrest is blowing his billions (and taxpayers) on renewables. Gina Rinehart is lobbying to give foreigners free land and tax breaks.
And now we have the grotesque situation where the Wright descendants are selling off undeveloped mining rights to foreigners for billions and then donating those proceeds to activists trying to destroy industry in Australia.
The hypocrisy is next level. Worse Australians are being denied the proceeds of that wealth in favour of foreigners.
People First will change the laws around mining rights so that companies must value add to minerals so that all Australians can share our wealth.
Not just a handful of billionaires.

“Greenpeace will be among the biggest winners from a $120m donation to environmental causes from one of Western Australia's wealthiest mining families.
Alexandra Burt - granddaughter of Peter Wright, will announce what is believed to be one of Australia's largest ever single acts of environmental philanthropy.
$25m will go to Greenpeace, just weeks after two activists scaled Woodside Energy's Scarborough gas platform off the WA coast.
The donations come after Ms Burt sold a 25 per cent interest in the undeveloped Rhodes Ridge iron ore deposit to Japan's Mitsui for $US3.34bn.”
