6. Das Boot (1981)  

Wolfgang Petersen’s U-boat film is cold, cramped, and slow. It’s all by design, as Petersen documents life aboard German submarines in WWII – the tedium and mental strain – punctuated by moments of terror or excitement: rivet-bursting depth charges, or an Allied convoy in the distance...

5. The Longest Day (1962)  

The Longest Day was an attempt to tell the story of D-Day as it happened. Scene for scene, it remains cinema’s most accurate depiction, coming from the perspectives of the British, the Americans, the French, and the Germans – and shot by British, American, and German directors...

4. Paths of Glory (1957)  

Directed by Stanley Kubrick, Paths of Glory is a commanding, sumptuously shot morality tale – the story of three French soldiers who are sentenced to be shot for cowardice. The film is so vehemently anti-war that Hollywood studios were reluctant to make it...

Not-so-silent COUP!-----James Woods on X: "I loathe Joseph Biden. He has been a cancer to our Republic for over half a century.

In what universe does Nancy Pelosi or any other swamp creature from the Democrat Party cesspool in Washington have the right to decide he must step down as president, simply because he is doing poorly in the polls? ... - James Woods @RealJamesWoods

...we have processes in place by which our leaders are likewise removed from office. 

• Democrats have consistently abused those processes in their unabashed ongoing coup against President Trump, while he was in office, and now that he is running for office once again. 
• As painful as it is to say this, I believe the effort to remove Joseph Biden from office without due process of the law is literally a coup against the sitting president and must be fought against as vigorously as we would fight against the coup of a president we love...

Keen observers noticed a major change in the makeup of Trump's Secret Service detail | Blaze Media: 

"Look, I'm not sure about who the individuals are on the individual detail of the Secret Service, but I can tell you under this Biden administration, the one thing I've seen is massive DEI hires," Republican Rep. Cory Mills (Fla.), a former U.S. Army sniper, told Fox News on Sunday. "And I can tell you, when you primarily go after DEI, you end up with D-I-E."

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told the New York Post, "The women I saw up there with the president — they looked like they were running in circles. One didn’t know how to holster, the other one didn’t seem to know what to do, and another one seemed not to be able to find her holster. DEI is one thing. Competence and effectiveness is another, and I saw DEI out there."

What Is the End Goal of Education? - Intellectual Takeout

In the 1913 Elementary Course of Study, published by the State of Kentucky, the introduction to the second chapter states that “The highest function of the school is character building.”  - Anna Mathews

Below are words of advice and wisdom on this subject and its application to public education.

1. “Order is a habit and habits are formed by repetition. Train your students to walk quietly, to speak softly, to be gentle. In all the rooms, the same regulations as to seating, water, leaving and entering the room, recitations, etc., should prevail to the end that right habits be formed, and when formed, that they be not changed.”
2. “Good discipline is righteous self-regulation. Students should learn to govern themselves. From the first grade through the High School, the teachers should magnify the reign of self-control. Good citizenship is the end of school life.”
3. “That teacher fails grievously who does not help her pupils to see that hateful words, unkind acts, and untruthful statements injure, to an alarming extent, those who indulge in these vices.”...

Watch: New Visualization Shows How Close Trump Was to Losing His Life During Assassination Attempt

Watch: New Visualization Shows How Close Trump Was to Losing His Life During Assassination Attempt: 

Had it not been for that tilt to the left as he glanced to the right, the dotted line shows, the deadly trajectory would have sent the bullet through Trump’s right temple and out the back of his head.

There was some discussion in the comments to that post, debating whether Trump’s ear was hit by two bullets before he ducked as a third whizzed by. The audio that accompanied the video did indeed appear to include three distinct pops, with two dotted lines intersecting with Trump’s ear and a third passing by it as the head moved away.

To explain how her agency failed to secure the rooftop where the shooter positioned himself, the embattled Secret Service director said in an ABC News interview on Monday that the building “has a sloped roof, at its highest point,” citing safety concerns for the agents.
“And so, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” she said. 

“And so, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside.”

Secret Service director: Shooter's roof was too sloped to secure Trump rally * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:

So how was a 20-year-old able to get within firing range of Trump while the Secret Service agents were supposed to be securing the location, and local police were helping.

"Diversity," the commentary charged, "has not managed to save a single person under the Secret Service's protection, at least that we know about, which makes the prominence given to that word just a little bit odd. And the fact that it makes it look like Cheatle was a diversity hire isn't her only issue…"

It's clear!

 

In Trump, I See a Combat Leader | The Free Press

When I led Marines in battle, I never showed my fear. Faced with gunfire, the former president had the same instinct. - Elliot Ackerman

When I led raids as a Marine Corps officer in Iraq and Afghanistan, I used to move around the objective with my hands in my pockets. 

I did this to show the Marines that I wasn’t afraid—even if I was. 

• Acting calm in a firefight wasn’t always easy, but it’s what a combat leader does. 
• Whatever you think of Trump, he proved himself to be a combat leader on Saturday...

Still unclear?-----Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia

• Section 3: President's declaration of inability[edit]
• Section 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
• Section 3 allows for the voluntary transfer of presidential authority to the vice president (for example, in anticipation of a medical procedure) by the president declaring in writing to be unable to discharge the powers and duties of the presidency. The vice president then assumes those powers and duties as acting president;[note 1] the vice president does not become president and the president remains in office, although without authority. The president regains those powers and duties upon declaring, in writing, to be again able to discharge them.[3]: 112-3

“China is the industry’s new disruptor – capable of creating must-have vehicles that are faster to market, cheaper to buy, advanced on tech and design, and more efficient to build. 

For traditional [manufacturers], keeping pace with China’s strongest brands will require more than a course correction.”

Secret Service responsible for security failure at rally while trying to blame local police, says district attorney | Blaze Media

Secret Service responsible for security failure at rally while trying to blame local police, says district attorney | Blaze Media: 

Butler County district attorney Richard Goldinger made the claim in an interview with the Washington Post. Goldinger said that the SWAT teams in his jurisdiction were located within the secure perimeter while it was the responsibility of the Secret Service to secure the area outside of that perimeter.

“Secret Service was in charge, and so it was their responsibility to make sure that the venue and the surrounding area was secure," he explained.
