'You need a lift darling?' the driver shouted through the open window. I glanced across and saw the taxi - or at least a car which appeared to be a taxi - curb-crawling beside me in an empty street.

Mencken's Critiques of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
– H.L. Mencken, Note on the Gettysburg Address
"But let us not forget that it is oratory, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it! Put it into the cold words of everyday! The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination — 'that government of the people, by the people, for the people,' should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i. e., of the people of the States?"

The explicit goal of the quotas was to rewind the country’s racial and ethnic mix to a time dominated by Western and Northern European immigration.
Reed, one of the lead sponsors, wrote in The New York Times that, with the bill’s passage, “The composition of our population will not change in the future decades in the same way in which it changed between 1885 and the outbreak of the World War.”
The United States would then become “a more homogeneous nation” and a “vastly better place to live in,” he added.

FPV drones with fiber optic control channels are in full swing in the Pokrovsk direction.
This episode shows an encounter with an HMMWV vehicle supplied by the United States to the Kiev regime forces.
The driver noticed the UAV too late as it was flying almost at the very ground (thanks to fiber optics, this can be done without losing image quality).
As a result, the vehicle burned, and the fate of the crew again remains unknown.

One guy that doesn’t get enough respect or as much credit as he deserves is Andrew Torba, the man who founded Gab. Gab was founded as an alternative to Twitter when it became clear that Twitter was not going to defend freedom of speech. Since then, Andrew Torba and Gab have honoured their promises to defend freedom of speech and deny governments and pressure groups access to user data – protecting their users’ anonymity and privacy. Since Andrew Torba founded Gab the dissident right has embraced a number of different so-called ‘free speech’ alternatives, only to see users facing a range of restrictions including outright bans. Yet despite other platforms buckling to authorities and special interest groups, Gab has remained strong, working to build a genuine alternative to big-tech and standing by the principles that we all hold dear. I think more people should give Gab a chance and help to ensure that the only REAL free speech platform we have is well populated and well-funded.

The Surprising Cause of Melanoma (And No, It’s Not Too Much Sun)
Despite all the bad press linking sun exposure to skin cancer, there’s almost no evidence at all to support it. There is, however, plenty of evidence to the contrary. Over the years, several studies have confirmed that appropriate sun exposure actually helps prevent skin cancer. In fact, melanoma occurrence has been found to decrease with greater sun exposure, and can be increased by sunscreens.
Research published in the British Journal of Dermatology shows that the sun is likely nothing more than a scapegoat in the development of melanoma, and the sharp increase may actually be “an artifact caused by diagnostic drift.”

We therefore conclude that the large increase in reported incidence is likely to be due to diagnostic drift which classifies benign lesions as stage 1 melanoma. This conclusion could be confirmed by direct histological comparison of contemporary and past…
