There were 500-550 total Allied judiciary executions of Axis war criminals. A precise number isn’t known but there also were some hundreds more summary field executions during the conduct of the war (this excludes the tens of thousands murdered by the Soviets, which had far more to do with Russian racism than alleged war crimes). Even with extremely liberal accounting, figure two thousand Nazis, tops, executed by the Allies for war crimes.

On the other hand, there were 44,000 (forty-four THOUSAND) extermination camps, concentration camps and labor camps. There were hundreds of thousands of Nazis directly involved with the Final Solution, or indirectly connected to it, or complicit in it. Every last one of them deserved to dangle but the vast majority of them got a pass because once Germany surrendered, the Allies’ primary focus turned to rebuilding a stable and democratic Germany that they wouldn’t find themselves at war with again 10 years down the road.

This also meant they couldn’t engage in a years-long series of war tribunals to make sure all the “worker bees” in the concentration camps got their just rewards because that would risk looking to the run-of-the-mill Germans like they were extracting revenge. So they weighed the cost against the reward and opted only to prosecute the higher-ups and some of the more egregious offenders, in the hope that that would earn them some good will and aid in implementing the Marshall Plan.

But hundreds of thousands of murdering Nazis got off without so much as a slap on the wrist.

She was so bland and one dimensional.

Never understood that.

At least my Really Bad Choices were colorful and entertaining.

😆

The Trump curse worked fast! Seen Stormy Daniels lately? You’ll need eye bleach

It’s a simple yes or No question..why the long dissertation?

There’s something about Clint Eastwood that seems different recently as he got older. He seems somehow happier than when he was younger.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he accepted Jesus and I sure hope he has.

I watched that earlier tonight. That took a lot of effort to place.

Luke 18:9-14  niv 9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Interesting video, I used to camp and explore all over that part of the Mojave Desert, but that was in the 1970s, years before this strange object appeared. I also used to subscribe to Desert Magazine mentioned in the video.

... Jesus Christ came not for the righteous but for sinners.

“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” – Luke 5:32   “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.” – 1 Timothy 1:15   “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” – Luke 19:10   “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” – John 3:17   “I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast   with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 8:11

So it was a big pneumatic venturi?

I'm in MN and live in one of poorest counties in the state. My county hasn't gone Democrat for years. It's red as hell. Even some of my Puerto Rican friends were all in on Trump this last election.

The Twin Cities gives the rest of the state a bad rap.... and that's aggravating.

I’ve read about this device somewhere else. Its purpose had something to do with military testing of something, it’s been so long I can’t recall what it was! Getting old sucks as far as memory goes. Might have been something to do with atmospheric testing of nukes, something like that.

Ha ha.

From Perplexity:

Clint Eastwood has not publicly spoken about converting to Christianity himself. The videos and content suggesting a Clint Eastwood testimony about giving his life to Jesus Christ are based on inspirational or dramatized material and are not official statements from him. In interviews and public statements, Eastwood has described himself as agnostic or spiritual rather than affiliated with any organized religion, including Christianity. He has practiced meditation and expressed tolerance for religious people but has not declared a Christian conversion or personal relationship with Jesus Christ. His views have generally been more aligned with spirituality, agnosticism, or Deist beliefs rather than Christian faith.

Come on in boys - the water’s fine!

When you have to shoot, shoot; don’t talk.

Smart people finally bend the knee To Jesus...

Everyone will one day:

"Philippians 2:5-11, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

AMEN!

His past is as checkered as mine.
