Umm, at least 200,000 people came to watch that parade, and it was televised on two networks and on several streaming services. It was widely covered in print media and on online news sites. Can you ever get anything right? I swear it's as if you woke leftists live in an alternative reality.

The timing of this accusation was indeed suspicious. Arad had recently called attention to evidence that some Lithunians killed Jews during WWII. There had never been a whiff of scandal about Arad before he began talking about the role that some Lithuanians played in the Holocaust. Lithuania's...

Did you read my article? We have an abundance of evidence that Confederates allowed some blacks to have guns and other weapons, usually because they were serving as combat soldiers in the Confederate army. See, for example, the report of Lewis Steiner, an ardent Republican who watched Jackson's...

Professional tennis is another sport that has a great deal of diversity among the athletes. This is not by design. It just happens to work out that way.

This is a pile of delusion, paranoia, and radical leftist propaganda. It's scary that you actually seem to believe this looney stuff.

I think we need to keep one key fact in mind: The brutality and oppression under discussion were done by the militarist/fanatical elements of the Japanese military and were done without the knowledge or consent of the civilian leaders of the Japanese government. Japan's civilian leaders were...

As usual, Dante has turned the facts on their head and is accusing Trump of doing the very thing that the Democrats have been doing. And it is just weird that he refers to himself in the third person.

The Hanoi regime prevented hundreds of thousands of North Vietnamese from leaving the north during the 300-day open-migration period stipulated in the Geneva Accords. This was one of the Communists' early violations of the accords. Even then, nearly 1 million people migrated from the north to...

The ad was supposedly "racist" because Willie Horton happened to be black. To radical liberals, any ad or news story that says anything negative about a rapist and murderer who happens to be black is automatically "racist." On June 6, 1986, Horton was released from prison as part of a weekend...

No, Jimmy Carter did not release rapists from insane asylums. This false claim comes from a conflation of two distinct events: Deinstitutionalization: The large-scale release of mentally ill patients from state psychiatric hospitals actually began in the 1960s—well before Carter took...

Really? Since Trump took office in January 2025, we've had nearly $3 trillion in new foreign investments come to America. We have seen a net reduction in prescription drug prices. Food prices are lower than they were under Biden. The flow of illegal immigrants across our southern border has been...

Two other big myths related to the Vietnam War involve the First Indochina War (1946-1954), i.e., the war that pitted the French and anti-communist Vietnamese against the Viet Minh. The orthodox story is that the French had no chance to win the war and that the French suffered a catastrophic...

What an odd reply. This is the History forum of the USMB. An event is not "ancient history" when hundreds of thousands of the people who were involved in it are still alive. FYI, the word "ancient" is usually used to refer to the period of time before the Middle Ages. You seem to have no...

To get some idea of the depraved brutality of the North Vietnamese army (NVA), consider the fact that on many occasions NVA soldiers were killed, wounded, or captured because they were chained or tied to their fighting position, machine gun, or artillery piece. Their officers had chained or tied...

Oh, brother. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Readers should be aware that you are a fringe leftist who peddles outright Communist propaganda.
