Not to quibble, because VE Day is obviously important, but WWII ended for the USA when the Japanese surrendered in August 1945 …

Anyway, May 8 is Victory Day already, Victory in Europe (VE Day), but fine Victory Day it is. November 11 was Armistice Day, then Veteran’s Day and now Victory Day WWI I guess?

"We won both wars, because nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance" - great way to dismiss the contributions (and in some cases far greater sacrifices) of our allies, dude. In terms of industrial and military production in the war he's right, but I don't think most of our allies will appreciate hearing that they weren't as brave or smart as we were. No wonder he and his minions like Stephen Miller want to change how we teach history - their understanding of it is as superficial as a comic book. Trump probably thinks that Captain America really existed and did punch Hitler in the face.

Ok Yosef. Go for it. What’s your definition of a woman? Try to come up with a definition that does not exclude any women.

I won't fall for your trap. It's just crazy how the SCJ wouldn't answer the question. Crazy how the Democrats what to change what a woman really is. It's hilarious and sad at the same time.
You tell me?

The #1 criteria for NASA performance reviews is now "faithful support of president's policies" representing 25% of their review, while "merit and competency" is only weighted at 15%. Cool way to run a science organization.

So what you're saying is that it is time for us to give the USSR the appropriate credit for being the country that was largely responsible for the defeat of the Wehrmacht? But they had to lose 20M soldiers and civilians in order to do so.
 

Trump Issues Order to Defund U.S. Public Media, Including PBS and NPR​

President says the news outlets don’t present ‘a fair, accurate or unbiased portrayal of current events’​

🎁 —> https://www.wsj.com/politics/trump-...83?st=jVA7FE&reflink=mobilewebshare_permalink

“… The order states that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the umbrella organization that oversees government funding for PBS and NPR, “cancel existing direct funding to the maximum extent allowed by law and shall decline to provide future funding.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said Friday that it isn’t subject to the president’s authority. “Congress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government,” it said, adding that Congress “expressly forbade” federal agencies or employees from controlling the corporation or its grantees when it established the corporation in 1967.

Paula Kerger, PBS’s president and chief executive, called the order “blatantly unlawful” and said she was exploring all options to allow PBS to continue serving its stations and the community with educational programming. …”

You are reluctant to answer the question on a lightly-viewed message board but are flabbergasted at a nominee declining to answer the same question in a senate confirmation hearing? Seems like you have the less consequential task.

A matching talent to task thing. She was in a more challenging environment but it wasn't nearly as much of a mismatch.

We didn't even get involved in WWI until late in the game, certainly that infusion of fresh troops and arms made a difference in the outcome but the overall loses suffered by the US was a fraction of that of the other major combatants.
