The Decline of British and American Empires
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
The generation that comes of age, when the empire’s political, economic, technological, and military power is at the peak, usually presides over its decline and fall. This trend can be seen in several empires in the last 2500 years—the British and American Empires being the recent examples. The generation of English people born between 1890 and 1920 inherited the British Empire that spanned the globe; the saying was popular that the sun never set on the British Empire. But by the 1940s, the British Empire was lost; it was reduced to what it had been before the Age of Imperialism, a ...

As a youngster growing up in South Africa, I was introduced to the Johnny Mann Singers, an American vocal ensemble that I came to greatly enjoy, particularly their folk song renditions. I've looked for digital versions of their music for some time without success, particularly their three albums of "Golden Folk Song Hits", which were particular favorites of mine. (If any reader knows whether or where they can be found, please tell us in Comments.) At any rate, I skimmed through YouTube the other day, looking for any examples of their folk songs.

* What American Schools Should Teach about Race, Racism and Slavery* BY DENNIS PRAGER Regarding race and much else, America’s students are not taught history. In fact, they are not taught; they are indoctrinated. With anti-Americanism. The purpose of all teaching about race in American schools is to engender contempt for America. They are, therefore, “taught” the lies of The New York Times’ “1619 Project” — that the United States was founded to preserve and protect slavery — and of such works as Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility. So, then, what should American schools teach about ra...

When Fascists Roam The Streets, Staying Home Isn’t An Option

The Million MAGA March in Washington, D.C. on November 14th has become a flashpoint about how the Left should respond to the far-Right in a post-2020 election terrain. Footage distorted to fit a narrative of unprovoked violence against conservatives, Proud Boys employing specific fighting tactics to down as many people as possible; police splitting up crowds, standing with riot shields facing only one way, conveniently absent once the Proud Boys found the antifascists. Much of the conversation, however, has centered on the conflict between showing up or staying in. The post When ...

Peter Suciu, The National Interest - 20 hours ago
*Peter Suciu* *History, Americas* It may not have walked like a duck or quacked like duck—with respect to James Whitcomb Riley—but one Grumman aircraft did sort of fly and was able to land on water. *Here's What You Need To Remember:* It may not have walked like a duck or quacked like duck—with respect to James Whitcomb Riley—but one Grumman aircraft did sort of fly and was able to land on water, so by those standards the U.S. Navy’s Grumman (Columbia) J2F-6 was still a “Duck.” The single-engine equal-span, single-bay amphibious biplane was developed in the 1930s as a flying bo...

However, many of them are old and not the kind of top-of-the-line weapons you'd want in a major fight. In 2019 both the U.S. and Russian armies introduced new versions of their primary main battle tank, helping to enhance what is widely viewed as the world’s leading armored forces.
