Credit: University of Manchester Some say King Arthur slayed a giant there. Others
say he knelt in prayer and his knee print indentations are forever etched into the stone. But archaeologists are setting out to find out just how big the structure is and what really happened at Arthur's Stone, a 5,000-year-old, Neolithic chambered tomb in Herefordshire, England, near the border of Wales. On July 1, a team of researchers began excavating the site, said Julian Thomas, an archaeology professor at the University of Manchester who is leading the project. They'll be on site for the next four weeks, Thomas...

| 1845 | Hans Christian Andersen
Most terribly cold it was; it snowed, and was nearly quite dark, and evening-- the last evening of the year. In
this cold and darkness there went along the street a poor little girl, bareheaded, and with naked feet. When she left home she had slippers on, it is true; but what was the good of that? They were very large slippers, which her mother had hitherto worn; so large were they; and the poor little thing lost them as she scuffled away across the street, because of two carriages that rolled by dreadfully fast. One slipper was nowhere to...

| January 10, 2024 | Farley Elliott
One of California’s most recognizable roadside restaurants has closed without so much as a goodbye to longtime fans and travelers. Pea
Soup Andersen’s, the staple Central Coast destination in Buellton, California — just off Highway 101 en route to the Danish holiday town Solvang — has gone dark, and rumors are swirling that the property itself may be redeveloped for housing. The property was previously listed for sale for just under $5 million in 2021, but no buyer was publicly announced. The restaurant has a robust history on the Central Coast, claiming at its height to serve 2 million cups...

Back in the Nineties Robert Altman released a droll Hollywood satire called The Player about a murderous studio executive, and included towards the end a parody action movie with Bruce Willis. A couple of weeks later Altman ran into the producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who told him he'd seen The Player and liked
the Willis parody. "That's where you went wrong," he said. "You should have made it for real," he advised Altman. Bruckheimer's made them for real for decades: Top Gun, The Rock, Con Air, Pearl Harbor, and franchises, franchises, franchises - Beverly Hills Cop, Bad Boys, Pirates of the...

In 400 AD, the Roman Empire extends to Britain and the Romans become impressed with the fight skills of the warrior Sarmatian people, which are spared, but have to send their sons to serve Rome in the cavalry for 15 years. Only
after these services, these knights are free to return home. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have their last mission before achieving their freedom.

ARTHUR MILLER — COMMUNIST

| 10-18-2015 | Paul Kengor
October 17, 2015 is the centenary of the birth of Arthur Miller, one of the literary left’s shining lights and righteous crusaders against some of liberals’ worst demons: Joe McCarthy, “HUAC,” and, more generally, anti-communism. Yes,
anti-communism. As often noted by Harvard’s Richard Pipes and the Hoover Institution’s Robert Conquest, few things have animated liberal animus quite like anti-communism. It’s not that liberals have been pro-communist so much as they are anti-anti-communist. They dislike anti-communists more than they dislike communists. Their preferred demon isn’t Joe Stalin but Joe McCarthy. As James Burnham, the great ex-communist, put it, “for the left,...

King Arthur: What Everybody Gets Wrong

| March 18, 2023 | Cambrian Chronicles
In this video, I hope to shine a proper light of the Medieval origins of King Arthur. We'll see how Chretien's story developed from fiction written by Geoffrey of Monmouth. We'll see how Geoffrey adapted King Arthur from figures found in Welsh Mythology. We'll see how the mythologies of Wales shifted and
moulded King Arthur to fit whatever story they were trying to tell, and we'll see how Wales in the 9th century developed one of the most famous historical figures of all time.King Arthur: What Everybody Gets Wrong | 35:05Cambrian Chronicles | 44.4K subscribers | 381,648 views | March...

Arthur Roche: prefect under pressure The English archbishop at the centre of the storm over the suppression of the old rite says that the Church must return to liturgical unityNothing is able to stir up a disagreement in the Church like the liturgy. The
recent decision by Pope Francis to re-impose restrictions on the use of the pre-Second Vatican Council liturgy, the “Tridentine Mass”, has sparked a storm of criticism from traditionalists. One commentator recently accused the Pope of espousing “liberal illiberalism”, while even some progressive voices have questioned whether Francis’ tough measures run counter to the dialogue and...

The Trump Revolution [by Arthur March -- vanity]

Trump recently, in a small way, added emphasis to the attrocious German New Years. Over 1,000 muslims coordinated to grope and rape women. Hannity
yesterday mentioned over a hundred rapes. No word of whether they were gang raped, but I would guess most victims were. Merkel bungled this with a ham fist, scolding Germans not to 'scapegoat' the muslims. Germans are outraged. And every new muslim attack will be trumpeted more loudly. Europe largely blacked out reports like this and even has hate-speech laws to suppress them. But thanks to Trump, Europe is waking up so fast that it's reaching...
