@doneandone1 @JoeMcCarthyStan @patagleason @Glinner The IDF is awesome. I admire them deeply. And pray for them often.

@nornXP @Gapeagle @OhVere @DiscussingFilm She doesn’t help it any. Mouthing off about Christian dads wasn’t a great way to promote the movie. She’s also not particularly good looking and looks unkempt.

Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT

250 years ago today, on June 29, 1776, New Yorkers looked out at the water and saw a nightmare on the horizon. The British fleet had arrived, and so many ships filled the bay that witnesses said the masts looked like "a forest of pine trees" growing out of the sea. The timing could not have been more brutal. This was the empire's answer to the rebellion, and it was overwhelming. The first wave of around 45 warships and transports dropped anchor off Sandy Hook and Staten Island carrying General William Howe and roughly 10,000 troops. Within days it kept growing. Then his brother Admiral Richard Howe arrived with more. It would eventually swell into one of the largest seaborne invasion forces of the entire 18th century, hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of professional soldiers and German mercenaries, aimed at one city. Now sit with the timing. While that forest of masts was filling the harbor, delegates down in Philadelphia were in the final days of debating whether to declare independence. They voted for it on July 2 and signed off on the wording on July 4. So at the exact moment America was being born on paper, the most powerful military on earth was already anchored off its coast, getting ready to strangle it in the cradle. The people of New York understood exactly what they were seeing. Alarm bells rang, panic spread through the streets, and soldiers sprinted to their posts to stare at a force they had almost no hope of matching. Washington's army was outnumbered, outgunned, and about to get badly beaten in the battles for New York that followed. That's the part that gets lost in the fireworks every Fourth of July. Independence wasn't declared from a position of strength. It was declared with an enemy armada already sitting on the doorstep, knowing full well what was coming. They signed their names anyway.

@nornXP @OhVere @DiscussingFilm What appeals to comics fans doesn’t always appeal to movie fans. Also, I thought I read that comic popularity is declining.

@TheDocCuanalo @Roman507_ @nornXP @DiscussingFilm Good for you. I don’t want my kids to think a drunk is a good role model. A lot of parents believe the same as me.

@Roman507_ @nornXP @DiscussingFilm Fine. Don’t complain about the bad box office numbers. If you spend the money they did on this movie, it needs to appeal to more than a niche audience. A lot of people who don’t read comics like some superhero movies. If you don’t appeal to them, the film fails.

History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob

On the final day of the Constitutional Convention, as the last delegates were signing their names, 81 year old Benjamin Franklin looked up at the chair behind George Washington. On the back of the chair was a sun. Franklin had stared at that sun for months through every bitter argument, every deadlock and every moment he wondered whether the whole thing would collapse. He turned to the men near him and said: “I have often and often, in the course of the session, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.”

Thomas Paine publishes an open letter in the Pennsylvania Evening Post, under the name “Republicus,” which advocates for the name “United States of America” for the new nation now emerging. This is the first time such a term has been used.

This was Benjamin Franklin's proposed seal of the United States of America. His pitch to the seal committee read as follows: "Moses in the Dress of a High Priest, standing on the Shore, and extending his Hand over the Sea, thereby causing the same to overwhelm Pharaoh who is sitting in an open Chariot, a Crown on his Head and a Sword in his Hand. Rays from a Pillar of Fire in the Clouds reaching to Moses, to express that he acts by Command of the Deity." Thomas Jefferson proposed a similar design, with an emphasis on the pillar of fire and cloud that led the Israelites through the wilderness. The Founding Fathers saw America as an echo of Israel, often invoking the Exodus as a picture of our separation from Britain.

Islam has been attempting to conquer the west since its founding, and failed. Communism has tried the same, and failed. Stands to reason that the two expansionist beliefs would join forces eventually for a combined assault. And here we are.

@Roman507_ @nornXP @DiscussingFilm Parents who take their kids to see superhero movies don’t want to see a drunken girl as the protagonist. The origin story is stupid, too.
