Heh. So good to "see" you. :)

What!? No love for how we "rammed the ramparts"? ;)

That's a one and done. They ain't coming back for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, either.

First Invasion: The War of 1812

The History Channel a.k.a. The Hitler Channel and streaming on YouTube

Pop quiz in the morning. ;)

On second look, appears to be the same documentary!

there just isn't a lot of content on the war of 1812 the way there is on world war 2.

Dang it. :)

prime video has a documentary on the war of 1812.

Thank you!

I'll see your Prime video War of 1812 and give you a War of 1812 streaming on YouTube:

The War of 1812

The War of 1812 has been made possible by a major grant from The National Endowment for the Humanities: Because democracy demands wisdom. With funding provided by The Wilson Foundation, Warren and Barbara Goldring, The Corporation for Public Broadcasting: A private corporation funded by the American people.

Re: 1812: We continued to hold the airports; that's about all you need to know.

What!? No love for how we "rammed the ramparts"? ;)

Nice one!

Re: 1812: We continued to hold the airports; that's about all you need to know.

prime video has a documentary on the war of 1812. it was made in 2011, presumably as a nod to the bicentennial of the conflict. i don't remember whether or not I've seen it, but i would imagine it's worth a watch. there just isn't a lot of content on the war of 1812 the way there is on world war 2.

Iger and Karamehmedovic has told the harpies over at THE VIEW to tone down the Trump/America hate and the PTDS rhetoric...

Disney’s top brass, including CEO Bob Iger, have finally told The View’s hosts.... Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, and crew... to dial back their relentless Trump-bashing and anti-America rhetoric, as reported by The Daily Beast {CITE: THE DAILY BEAST May 2025}.

Even ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic sees the writing on the wall: President Trump’s 2024 victory proves the public’s fed up with the harpies divisive rants.

The hosts’ pushback, whining that their audience craves political vitriol, exposes their delusion... they are out of touch, clinging to a narrative that American voters completely and unequivocally rejected.

Disney’s nudge to focus on celebrity fluff over politics acknowledges PRESIDENT Trump’s mandate, yet the hosts’ refusal to pivot which shows their complete and utter arrogance.

Their obsession with slamming PRESIDENT Trump, even after he unequivocally kicked Headboard Harris' ass all over the country completely ignores the reality that their show’s ratings thrive despite, not because of, their Trump/American hate-fueled segments.

Iger’s $15 million settlement with Trump over a defamation suit signals even DISNEY knows that resistance is futile...

The View’s tired act... cackling over “puppy killer” jabs while dodging Biden’s decline...mocks the American electorate’s decision.

This isn’t leadership.

It’s a immature tantrum from a fading echo chamber desperate to stay relevant.

Woke progressive Democrats have lost... The harpies on THE VIEW need to acknowledge the objective reality and move on...

Odumbo’s grip on the Democrat Party has left it a hollowed-out shell, bleeding relevance since his presidency.

His handpicked operatives... David Plouffe, Jim Messina, Jen O’Malley Dillon... steered Headboard Harris’s 2024 campaign into a $2 billion iceberg, as NBC News reported {CITE: May 2025}.

The “Odumbo coalition” of young and minority voters?

Gone, with 2024 seeing them shift to PRESIDENT Trump.

Odumbo’s choices.... Biden as VP, Clinton as 2016 nominee... set the stage for successive ever-expanding losses, while his neglect of state parties crippled local organizing, per DNC officials.

Odumbo's anti-establishment aura in 2008 is now a distant memory, replaced by a stale elite clinging to power, as David Hogg noted.

Progressives like Jane Kleeb slam the “Odumbo playbook” as outdated, favoring grassroots over D.C. insiders {CITE: NBC News, May 2025}.

Odumbo’s failure to adapt, pushing establishment figures like Headboard Harris, who hid Biden’s decline and alienated American voters who craved and DEMANDED authenticity.

Odumbo's lingering influence, from stadium-filling fundraisers to operative dominance, stifles new blood, ensuring Democrats’ 2024 rout becomes a blueprint for 2028 failure.

All of this comes from Uber Democrat Propaganda Site NBC and MSNBC...

Do ya'all want to know why I *ALWAYS* win the debates against ya'all??

Because I use your OWN sources to point out how wrong ya'all are... :D

That's why ya'all can *NEVER* impeach my sources... :D

And THAT why ya'all always lose... Ya'all lose so much that I compel ya'all not even to fight!!

True SUN TZU at it's finest.

"The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
-SUN TZU

That's what I have done here in Weigantia...

I have completely and utterly decimated ya'all's will to fight.. :D

Whereas ya'all's ONLY course of action is to avoid the battle...

Ya'all's ONLY possible move is not to engage... :D

My mother worked for A&E network when they first started. Everyone there used to refer to it as The Arts and War network with the running joke that if it wasn't for Hitler the network wouldn't have existed.

Ah, yes, A&E... one of my absolute favorites along with sister station "The History Channel" which we actually fondly still refer to as "The Hitler Channel," even though I believe they now call it just "History."

I think WWII has provided filler for networks and now streaming services for a long time...

Yes, sir, and it's glorious. :)

The woke progressive Democrat Party’s desperate push for a “shadow cabinet,” as floated by Sen. Elissa Slotkin, is a laughable and hilarious attempt to resurrect the exposed and crumbling Deep State as a rebranded “shadow government.”

PRESIDENT Trump has spent years dismantling their corrupt network..... unelected bureaucrats and insiders pulling strings behind closed doors... piece by corrupt piece.

Yet, woke progressive Democrats, STILL reeling from their UBER NUCLEAR SHELLACKING 2024 election humiliation, have come up with the idea of trotting out scandal-plagued figures like Samantha Power, Letitia James under federal investigation for mortgage fraud, and Gisele Fetterman, whose claim to fame is being an ex-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT CRIMINAL with a dormant X account, will somehow restore their credibility!!???

Jon Stewart as “Shadow Secretary of Veterans Affairs”!!???

It’s a clown show, not a strategy.

BBBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This Politico-endorsed (POLITICO??? Need we say more??) fiasco proves woke progressive Democrats learned absolutely NOTHING from their Headboard Harris’ “brat” flop, which burned thru **2 BILLION DOLLARS and STILL lost in a SPECTACULAR AND EPIC fashion!!

The woke progressive Democrat Party obsession with identity politics over competence ie praising Gisele’s “cheeky” social media while ignoring her lack of qualifications... shows a political party completely and utterly divorced from the objective reality of the here and now...

Ignorant and NO CREDIBILITY Progressive outlets like Common Dreams admit this “People’s Cabinet” is a response to their complete and utter failure and inability to counter PRESIDENT Trump’s AMERICA FIRST agenda, yet they double down on the exact same far-left hysterical dogma that American voters have rejected time and time and time again...

The Deep State’s exposure isn’t a setback for them; it’s a blueprint to openly defy the American electorate.

Patriotic Americans see through this charade, and woke progressive Democrats’ refusal to adapt ensures their “shadow” scheme will collapse in the light of PRESIDENT Trump’s awesome AMERICA FIRST reforms.

COMMON DREAMS, MAY 2025

Because ya'all Democrats LOVED PRESIDENT Trump prior to Jun of 2015... :D

Oh, the so so inconvenient facts.. :D

I will give you one guess who it's about. :)

Basement Biden and Headboard Harris...

:D

My mother worked for A&E network when they first started. Everyone there used to refer to it as The Arts and War network with the running joke that if it wasn't for Hitler the network wouldn't have existed. I think WWII has provided filler for networks and now streaming services for a long time...

as to the Broadway musical, i guess they can make a musical of absolutely anything.

Sure... why not!? Pick a title at random, and write the play. *thinking* Hamilton. ;) Seriously, though. This is a political blog... so...

Title: POTUS
Subtitle: Piece Of Totally Useless Shit

I will give you one guess who it's about. :)

Except Star Trek,,

SUBSPACE RHAPSODY was **ABYSMAL** and totally destroyed Star Trek canon...

Having said that, I am sure ya'all LOVED it...

But then, ya'all think that PRESIDENT Trump is Professor John Gill, so....

That explains THAT.... :D

i loved operation mincemeat!

(yes, that Ian Fleming)

seriously! it is just wild, that such a plan actually worked, for a guy who came up with so many fictional plots to have one that was 100% real. as to the Broadway musical, i guess they can make a musical of absolutely anything.

Supporters, including moderates like Pete Buttigieg and Josh Shapiro, see it as a path to prosperity and a rebuttal to PRESIDENT Trump’s chaos, addressing voter frustration with stagnant governance.

Critics, like David Sirota and the Roosevelt Institute, blast it as a corporate ploy to undermine progressive activism, accusing it of sidelining environmental and community voices.

This Democrat Party “civil war” exposes a deeper rift: progressives cling to Nader-style litigation and activist groups, prioritizing local control, while abundance advocates, backed by the Niskanen Center, demand deregulation to unlock progress.

Basement Biden’s failures...

...$42 billion for rural broadband but yielded ZERO connections

...only 58 EV chargers built—fuel this fight

.... proving government inefficiency. Democrats’ hypocrisy in ignoring these flops, while shielding Biden’s decline, mirrors their refusal to confront corporate influence, like Headboard Harris' weak 2024 campaign that dodged naming corporate villains.

Progressives’ obsession with “equity” over results alienates voters, who see through the Democrat Party's feckless and virtue-signaling posturing.

The abundance agenda offers moderates a positive identity, free from progressive dogma, but risks alienating the Left’s base.

As PRESIDENT Trump dismantles state capacity, woke progressive Democrats must choose. Cling to outdated legalism or embrace a bold, results-driven vision.

"You must choose. But choose wisely. For while the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.""
-Knight, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE

Failure to resolve this rift will push the woke progressive Democrat Party deeper and deeper into their political exile in the political Black Forest, Further handing PRESIDENT Trump’s “I alone can fix it” narrative another win to add to the many that PRESIDENT Trump has wracked up...

I know, right!? Netflix has more documentaries on World War II in one place than you could ever imagine as well as films based on history. Some of the black and white footage of that era has been colorized, and it's fascinating to watch. Color film was in existence at that time but much more expensive and therefore rare, but the only "spin" on history when you're watching the actual footage is the propaganda and spew out of the mouths of the speakers themselves.

I thought about making a list of the documentaries "not to be missed," but there's far too many... so anything by Ken Burns. How's that for a list?

There's also a Netflix film called Operation Mincemeat that's based on a ruse successfully implemented by the Brits during WWII that's based on a memo written by Ian Fleming for his boss (yes, that Ian Fleming) which obviously is far more involved than I'm going to divulge here, but I would definitely recommend that movie, which somehow (in ways I cannot fathom) they have turned those historical facts into a Broadway musical. Go figure.

Confused, Starving Reporters Now Desperate for Food After Killing American Journalism
https://johnkassnews.com/confused-starving-reporters-desperate-for-food-after-killing-and-devouring-journalism/

I won't quote any of it or summarize any of it. It needs to be read in it's entirety..

It should be read by someone who is free of PTDS and Trump/America hate, but THAT is too big of an ask, I am readily aware...

The treat to our democracy IS all too real...

But it comes from the people who propped up and abused a senile old man in their quest for power..

THOSE people are the REAL threat to our democracy..

And if we are to vanquish that threat, those people must be dragged out into the light and punished...

Silence Gives Assent

Almost 30 per cent of black males voted for PRESIDENT Trump.

Almost 46 per cent of ALL Latinos voted for PRESIDENT Trump..

An AMAZING *65 per cent* of Native Americans cast ballots for PRESIDENT Donald Trump.

Do ya'all see why getting out of the political Black Forest is going to be so hard for woke progressive Democrats??

America has gone totally balls out for PRESIDENT Trump...

The ONLY way Democrats can compete against that is a completely honest assessment of how bad Democrats scroo'ed up and a totally sincere apology to the American people..

THAT will be the start of the Democrat Party's return to the good graces of the American voter...

Thank you, CW... :D

there are a lot of Netflix documentaries and drama series, so probably more folks are in the know than one might think.

Like every schoolchild I knew, we were taught that the flag flew over Fort McHenry in Baltimore harbor, and that Key's poem, later song, celebrated America's fabled ability to come back from seeming early defeats in wars and end up triumphant. We learned that the British had burned Washington city, in revenge for the Americans' torching of York, a Canadian provincial capital. Dolley Madison famously saved the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington from the White House before the British arrived.

Now, I'm older and maybe today's citizens don't get this stuff in middle school like I did. But even younger people like history - some of them - and I don't thing we ought to be so absolute in declaiming America's historical ignorance, especially in respect to Memorial Day, a day of remembrance.

Are you sure - are you sure? - that your 1812-ignorant Americans really remember the details of the Revolutionary War or the Second World War? Because I know a lot of people who couldn't tell you very much about either war, any more than they could identify Fort McHenry from the National Anthem.
