Trump at the UN! What were we thinking...? "Rocket man is on a suicide mission..."

Check out a more formal review of the POTUS at the UN here from the New York Times.

The Vietnam War

Forgiveness made me free from hatred. I still have many scars on my body and severe pain most days but my heart is cleansed. Napalm is very powerful, but faith, forgiveness, and love are much more powerful. We would not have war at all if everyone could learn how to live with true love, hope, and forgiveness. If that little girl in the picture can do it, ask yourself: Can you?

Kim Phúc (Pictured in the center), NPR in 2008This is easily one of the most iconic photos of the Vietnam war and Kim's quote says everything I feel about war and more. If you wish to know more about the war I highly suggest watching the new Ken Burns documentary series, "The Vietnam War." The first 5 episodes of the series are now available to stream here. 
Other films I would suggest seeing if you wish to know more about the American perspective of the Vietnam war would be Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987), Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now! (1979), and Oliver Stone's Platoon (1986). Let me know if you have a chance to see any of these films and what impression they had on you. I love these movies because they let me know about how horrifying war is and that there is little glory to be had in it. 

HYPNOSIS!

A fascinating documentary from one of my favorite documentarians: The one, the only, Louis Theroux. Do you believe in the POWER OF HYPNOSIS!?!?!?!?!?

Youtube Update!

Please check out these latest videos from some of my favorite youtube channels! Enjoy!

Black Holes, White Supremacy, and an Online Community in English.

How do black holes work? What happens when matter is taken inside of them? What is the closest thing on Earth to a black hole? Watch this great video from Kurzgesagt to find out.

Recently there have been some shocking events happening surrounding the removal of Confederate Civil War statues. To many, these statues represent the worst aspects of the Civil War: mostly the fact that it was fought to keep blacks enslaved as free labor for rich Southern farmers. Now many want these monuments taken down but some have come together to protest this. Watch this short documentary about what happened when protestors came to Charlottesville, Virginia, to protest the removal of these statues. Were they really there to protest the statues being taken down? Or was there something else on their minds? You be the judge.

You may have heard this chant during the video, "Blood and Soil!" What does it mean? Where does it come from?


Would you like to find a community that constantly posts in English where there is an unlimited amount of articles to read, comment on, and read comments on? A place that is mostly populated by native English speakers? Where is there such a place on the internet? Heard of Reddit?

reddit.com

Here is a screenshot of what reddit looks like. Confusing? I thought so too.

Well. Here's how it works. Reddit is organized into categories. These categories are called 'subreddits' (/r/). A subreddit could have any possible category you can think of. From technology (r/technology), politics (r/politics), cute animals (r/aww), funny dogs (r/rarepuppers), to crazy nature gifs (r/natureisf***inglit), to video games (r/gaming). to see any of these categories in their entirety simply type Reddit.com + /r/(any category you want). E.g. I like pokemon soooo... reddit.com/r/pokemon  

Now lets look closer at a category. I also like funny dogs so I'll go to /r/rarepuppers. 

and lets click on that link I underlined... and heres what we get.

awesome. SO GO EXPLORE! Ask me if you have any questions! And also check out this link to learn more about how reddit works. 

Documentaries, News, Politics, Optimistic Nihilism!

A documentary! Louis Theroux, my favorite documentarian, spends some time with Americans who like to call themselves Nazis. If you've never seen Theroux before you will be amazed with his ability to keep his cool around some of the strangest people on this planet.

“I’m not a racist and actually I think it’s wrong to be a racist and so I feel as though by saying whether I’m Jewish or not I’m kind of, in a way, acknowledging the premise that it really matters when I think it shouldn’t and it doesn’t.” 

News:
A very interesting article about the summer of 1977 and a serial murderer known to all New Yorkers as 'Son of Sam.'

How do you view life? You only get one shot at it...

Wonder Woman and What's going on with Trump these days?

First. A video that will teach you a bit about the origins of Wonder Woman and her inspiration. Hopefully this is the beginning of a series of awesome Wonder Woman stuff since we need more role models like this. After, please enjoy a quick recap of the insanity that has been going on involving Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr. this week. Basically, he met with a Russian lawyer who has ties to the Kremlin after he learned that she had information that was damaging to Ms. Clinton in June of 2016... If it looks like collusion, smells like collusion, and walks like collusion... is it collusion? You be the judge.



And now... the Trumpageddon...
