WORLD WAR I FLIGHT TRAINING VIDEO

From an ex-U.S. military friend:

This is labeled a training video. I think it is about training, but not a training video. It looks more like a recruiting video or informational for the masses.
TRAINING VIDEO: An interesting video from long ago. I found it delightful to watch and think anyone with an interest in aviation will also get a kick out of our predecessors in flying. Although the majority of this is about the flying side, they also show a little of the maintenance side of flying.

What a fantastic piece of aviation history!

From my romantic, sentimental husband

This youtube vid shows Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth dancing to a song called "Midnight, The Stars And You", one of my favorite songs of the 1930's.

The song is performed by The Ray Noble Orchestra featuring Al Bowlly (one of the great Brit singers from that period). Dance scenes from the Motion Picture "You Were Never Lovelier". Not sure if this is the original music from that film or if someone overlaid it later, but it works.

I first heard this song when Stanley Kubrick used it at the end of his 1980 movie "The Shining" (book by Steven King).

And...Rita Hayworth is hot hot hot!!!

The New Age of Christian Martyrdom

...former captives have reported that they often attract the worst treatment because the regime is particularly enraged by the worship of any other being than the Supreme Leader, who forces North Koreans to treat him as a deity.

If you REALLY want to please your cat...

...then you absolutely MUST get this!

And who doesn't want a happy cat?

I mean, you know how they are if they're not happy, right??

A Left-Wing America Stands Alone

Obama is something unique. He’s the end product of a venture by liberal billionaires from the financial and tech sectors to build a radical Trojan horse politician. They invested a great deal of money into their project and the dividends have been huge. No other First World country has been victimized by such a calculated scheme or had so many resources invested in hijacking its democracy.

Some 6 billion dollars were raised and spent in the 2012 election. Those are astronomical amounts of money and they are probably only the tip of the iceberg. Beating that kind of spending isn’t easy.

While the rest of the First World moves on, America remains trapped in the defunct economic and political grip of the left. After dedicating enormous resources to taking over the Democratic Party and then the country, the left has turned the United States of America into its Soviet Union, a country out of time, its economy and society wracked by the discredited political and economic theories of the left.
