Robert casts a vote for himself.

The Normans

Robert Curthose stepped forward. Surrounding him were the Norman Knights, who were spattered with blood, and dirt, and grime from the ferocious battle. The Norman camp was stocked with...

Robert and his entourage had arrived at Godfrey's tent a little after the ninth hour of the day. The Crusaders were just finishing their mid-afternoon prayers and the Norman camp was preparing for...

The Norman Camp



The summer heat had begun to take its toll, and by noon it was sweltering. Heat rose from the ground in wisps from the scorching heat and made metal, armor, and swords hot to...

Jonathan Crawford reached out to shake the hand of President Arthur Lionel. It had been some time since he had seen the Hero of the Republic, and he almost had the urge to embrace him as an old...

Jonathan Crawford, and his wife Elizabeth, arrives to congratulate the new President is the United States of America.

The Crawford Family hails from Yorkshire in England and arrived in Virginia in the 1640s. Edward Crawford (b. 1615 - d. 1691), the family patriarch, first arrived at Jamestown where he began his...

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to say with either of those, since they both suggest that crime rates have dropped despite the Recession and agree with my point. The second article...

You've misread that information. It's increased in absolute terms only because the population has increased. When controlled as violent crimes per 100,000 inhabitants, it remains near the lowest...

Considering that most of the developed and developing world, which has embraced neoliberalism, has undergone some of the most explosive growths in history, while virtually every Communist or...

Yes. As does everyone, across the political spectrum. That graph is from Athena Healthcare. However, they cited information from the Bureau of Labor and Statistics and a report from Physicians for a...

Thanks, I've been trying to organize my thoughts on this for a while.

Anyways, the biggest issues with the 2008 Financial Crisis is that the stories that are often told are woefully incomplete....

So, after much teasing, the Progressive wunderkind Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has released a draft proposal of her much hyped "Green New Deal" legislation. Immediately, the right wing has seized upon...

Yeah, I've kind of got myself down a rabbit hole on this one. I want to finish up this point of debate and then move on to the next. However, I wanted some closing arguments to tie this up. To be...

So, this is a double post, but I did a bit of a deep dive on some of my spare time at work after lunch. It's been real interesting because I was a senior in High School when the 2008 Financial Crisis...

So basically, I don't disagree with the NYT article. In fact, I feel it supports my argument. If I could distill it in a sentence, my contention is that the narrative is that the top 1% has its...

So basically, I never disputed this. My argument is that the millionaires and billionaires make up far less wealth ownership than implied, and many of these statistics obfuscate this fact. My...

To be fair to Pontifex, IIRC, he's either still in Law School, or a recent graduate. His political beliefs won't disqualify him from being a lawyer. Additionally, the claim that news is either...

Well, I'll bite.

Just because Gaidin doesn't think that Trump is a "Russian Satan"--whatever that means--does not mean that Mueller's investigation is heading towards nothing. In fact, that's...

Cool it with the Haterade, bro. We get that you just discovered Nietzsche and realized that Israeli lobby is a thing. But not everything is a (((Zionist))) plot.

Because no one has actually provided any factual basis to the debates, here it goes. The Financial Times published an excellent article explaining how Macron's recent reforms have impacted the...

Bahahah, i saw that. It was triggered by the short link in his text where he forgot a space. But muh deep state.

Also of note, it seems some friendly foreign hackers hacked the NRCC email system....

Yeah, because he cooperated with the investigation. According to the filing: Flynn 1) violated the Logan Act by illegally trying to negotiate a quid pro quo with Russian sanctions, 2) failed to...

Thanks, Lucius.

I’ll stick to my guns too.

Hey, Monarchist, how's it going. I'm sorry to hear about your intense existential crisis. It seems like you have dealt with a lot, and I wanted to say that you are not alone. Surprisingly, I had an...
