On September 1st, 1939, the course of human history was forever altered when Nazi Germany invaded Poland, prompting Great Britain and France to declare war mere days later. WWII proceeded to be one of the most violent and bloody conflicts ever fought, with a total of 75million people, including both civilians and soldiers, losing their lives from 1939 to 1945. Ever since, nations across the world have vowed that such a conflict can never happen again, with the war causing irreparable damage across Europe, leading to a whole generation of people who struggled with poverty and vast psychological consequences.

Throughout TV history, cartoon stars have shined brightly, bringing joy to children and adults alike. With so many classics out there, from Looney Tunes to Hanna-Barbera to the likes of The Simpsons, South Park, SpongeBob SquarePants, and even He-Man, it seems impossible to create a definitive list of the greatest cartoon characters on TV. Yet, it must be done. We owe it to these animated characters to compile them, vote, rerank, and debate. Our ranked list of the best cartoon characters in TV history feature funny looking faces, crazy animated shows, and iconic voices.

President Biden all but declared himself as the greatest president in America’s history on Wednesday. “I tell you what,” the president said. “No one’s ever done as much as president as this administration’s doing. Period.” Biden spoke during the White House Tribal Nations Summit, which was to feature new announcements and efforts to put new policies in place that support Tribal communities. The summit, which takes place at the Department of the Interior, gives tribal leaders the opportunity to engage with top U.S. officials on ways to strengthen nation-to-nation relationships and ensure indigenous communities endure for years to come. As...

In the movie Bourne Identity, the big reveal near the end has the antagonist explaining to hero Jason Bourne that he was sent in to kill an inconvenient world leader. The reason he was sent in instead of just using SEAL Team Six or a CIA sniper was because they needed it to look like the leader was killed by his own men. They arranged to get super-human weapon Bourne on the leader’s yacht so that when he was killed, it would appear as if someone in his crew pulled the trigger. Doing this would keep the United States from...

President Biden honored the life and legacy of former Sen. Bob Dole (R-Kansas) on Sunday, calling him “among the greatest of the Greatest Generation.” Dole died in his sleep early Sunday morning at the age of 98, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation announced in a statement on Twitter. The former senator disclosed in February that he had been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and would be undergoing treatment.

During a sit-down interview that aired Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) revealed that her greatest accomplishment in the political realm is the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. Pelosi touted the legislation signed into law during President Barack Obama’s time in the White House, saying it “enabled millions of people to have access to quality, affordable care.” According to Pelosi, the Affordable Care Act is a “pillar” along with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

Writing for Spero News, Martin Barillas notes: "A group of Catholic students in Belgium remains in opposition to Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp. Spero reported on January 4 that the Flemish Catholic Students Association of Antwerp issued an open letter to Bishop Johan Bonny denouncing his statements on homosexual marriage. “Monsignor Bonny, as a successor of the apostles, wishes to alter the form in which the faith has revealed it (marriage). As a Catholic association headquartered in Antwerp, the Association of Flemish Catholic Students of Antwerp KVHV (Vlaams Katholiek Hoogstudentenverbod) raises its voice to say clearly: ‘No, Monsignor. What you...

"The enormity of the slaughters of the "religion of peace" are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing machine in the history of mankind, bar none."

I was 21-years-old before I first heard the name Norman Borlaug. It’s a shame it took until my third year of college to learn about one of the greatest humans who ever lived. Borlaug, who died in 2009, was an Iowa-born scientist who spent his life teaching new farming techniques in third world countries. His movement was eventually called the "Green Revolution." Borlaug was introduced to me during a discussion about another of my heroes — the late economist Julian Simon. Simon was the author of, "The Ultimate Resource," in which he argued ferociously against Malthusian concerns about overpopulation. One...

House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) told Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel that the military should be doing more to reduce the number of Chinese cyber attacks. “I think we have to take action with China to stop the PLA from bombarding us hourly with these hack attacks,” Rogers said. “They’ve stolen all sorts of weaponry from us and research, even the F-35. And I would hope that the department would be much more aggressive on the cybersecurity front.” Hagel responded by noting the increased funding for cyber security in the 2014 defense budget and then called it “the greatest threat...

He is engraved in stone in the National War Memorial in Washington, DC- back in a small alcove where very few people have seen it. For the WWII generation, this will bring back memories. For you younger folks, it's a bit of trivia that is a part of our American history. Anyone born in 1913 to about 1950, is familiar with Kilroy. No one knew why he was so well known- but everybody got into it, I even remember seeing him around public places in the late 60s... So who the heck was Kilroy? In 1946 the American Transit Association, through...

Via Lance Roberts of Street Talk Live,This weekend I had my first opportunity to watch "Newsroom," an HBO series, and I was struck by the opening sequence of the show as Jeff Daniels, aka Will McAvoy, discusses why America WAS the greatest country in the world - but no longer is.   Here are the stats as he breaks them down:The U.S. is: 7th in literacy27th in math 22nd in science49th in life expectancy178th in infant mortality3rd in median household income4th in labor force4th in exports But here are some other stats where the U.S. ranks as well: 19th is...

Newt: FDR Was The ‘Greatest President’ Of The 20th Centuryhttp://www.breitbart.tv/newt-fdr-was-the-greatest-president-of-the-20th-century/

Last week, I published The Ever-Expanding Catalogue of Obamacare Fables. This week, MRCTV and BreitbartTV bring you an excellent and handy video of Obama’s favorite health care takeover tall tales in his own words. All it needs is an “Unhappily Ever After” end page. Watch:

It truly was the opportunity of a lifetime. From June 1-8 thanks to an invitation from The Greatest Generations Foundation headquartered in Denver, I accompanied twelve World War II veterans for a visit to Normandy during the 67th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion. For many of these veterans, it was the first time they had been back to Normandy since the June 6, 1944 invasion by the allies. As expected, it was an enormously emotional experience. We crossed the English Channel by ferry from London arriving at dawn with the beaches of Normandy in front of us, creating a visual...

It has been said by persons such as Abraham Lincoln that the cause of tyranny can oftentimes be mistaken for and promoted as the cause of liberty. To prevent such a destructive misconception from metastasizing, Americans must concern themselves most seriously with understanding what liberty is -- and also what it is not. John Stuart Mill, in what is perhaps his most famous and influential work, On Liberty, helped build the foundation for a modern understanding of freedom, one which an overwhelming number of Americans support. In doing so, he argued that for a society to be properly liberated, its...
