"The current inhabitants are not those of the old testament." You comment makes me think of the Biblical story of Ruth and its meaning. "Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God."
Dear fellow Freeper Candor7, I can read German with some little difficulty, but I can't write it. So forgive me for answering in English. I am a old man in my nineties. I don't think I will see the final chapter to our political drama. I hope it will be wahlen rather than schlachkten, but I fear for the worse. Yes, there are some youngsters that were raised correctly and value what we are fast losing. There is always hope.
"She is likely bound for service. Kudos to her." She and the other person who helped her hold the flag are needed in politics. The services will always defend who is in political control. Our politics and institutions have been invaded and subverted as well as our nation physically. It is an attack on our nationhood an national culture.
"The meeting will also produce renewed speculation that Trump is looking at tapping DeSantis as his running mate." Both are citizens of Florida. The 12 Amendment to the Constitution would mean that the electors from Florida (a state that Trump will need) would be subject to being disqualified.
"Can any Freepers recall the era depicted?" I started college in 1950. Student exemption kept me out of the Korean War, although I served in Korea later. "Congested dance halls, Rock n' roll, a post-War boom?" I did some dancing with a girlfriend at the Student Union, but I think we were the only couple dancing. Rock n' Roll? I never much cared for modern popular music. My tastes ran to classical and Country And Wester. Post-war boom? I spent the whole decade in school not counting two years in the army. I was in BASIC with the husband of Patsy Cline and got a ride from him from West Virginia back to Fort Bragg with her and a sister singing on the back seat. It was a pleasant memory. I remember the decade as good times with fond memories.
"A short synopsis would be great." A battalion of Ukrainian troop are surrounded and according to Russian sources are negotiating their surrender. The rest is more bad news for Ukraine (including further encircling) from largely Russian sources.
