- The 1968 Sanitation Workers' Strike in Memphis
They wanted to be paid as much as the white workers. They wanted to be paid for overtime, as the white workers were. They wanted to be able to shower to clean up after working with garbage, as the white workers did. They wanted to have safe trucks, as the white workers had. They wanted to be seen as human beings. They wanted to be treated as human beings. When they marched, they wore signs that displayed what they considered their most important message. "I AM A MAN."
Donald J. Trump
- 2023 Christmas Message on Truth Social
Included also are World Leaders, both good and bad, but none of which are as evil and "sick" as the THUGS we have inside our Country who, with their Open Borders, INFLATION, Afghanistan Surrender, Green New Scam, High Taxes, No Energy Independence, Woke Military, Russia Ukraine, Israel Iran, All Electric Car Lunacy, and so much more, are looking to destroy our once great USA. MAY THEY ROT IN HELL. AGAIN, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

- They Reached For The Moon
"A military base on the moon!" the leaders had cried. And that had been that. Robot rockets had gone first. They had landed on the moon. They could do that, but they could not establish the desired base. So men had started on a round trip, around the moon, first to prove that men could do it. The only thing they proved was that whatever goes up need not come down.

- Not a Conspiracy Theorist
I don't want to try to connect dots that aren't there. I'm not Catholic so I have no understanding of how the papal election process works. I just find it interesting that the new pope is of Haitian descent and recently tweeted, "JD Vance is wrong."

- My Neighbor
After I thanked him another time for carrying things for me, he told me that it would have been a terrible thing for him to ignore my struggles. He told me that as a Muslim he had the duty to respect and care for his elderly neighbors. He said that duty was even more important when dealing with grandparents and that he saw me as a grandmother.
Balladeer
- The Ballad of Merwil Gutierrez
Without due process or rule of law Merwil was taken away. The president said, "That's not a flaw. It's just how things are done today." Merwil's sufferings have begun. His efforts all have failed. But others say, "That battle's won! Our cruelty's prevailed."
Anony
- The High School Student
He did not say, "I will try hard to do better!" Instead, he said he was the best student ever. He said he deserved good grades and that the teachers were wrong. He said that the teachers were all working together to be mean to him. He demanded an investigation.

- OCT 20, 1973 - THE SATURDAY NIGHT MASSACRE
Richardson refused. He had a number of reasons for his refusal. The president's request went against the rule of law (meaning that laws apply to everyone equally). Richardson was determined to uphold the independence of the special prosecutor (meaning that there would be no political interference.) Richardson had also promised Congress that there would be no interference to prevent the prosecutor from doing his job and Richardson was a man of his word.

- Another Disappointment
I read a headline that Joe Biden had edited himself into a family portrait. I got really excited because I thought he had edited himself into the portrait of some random family. I felt deflated when it turns out it was his own family. Maybe Bill Murray can do it. I want him to.
A Gentoo Penguin
- My Life in the South Orkney Islands
To summarize, I live far away from you. I'm pretty tall. My neighborhood is comprised of 1,000 of us. Chinstrap penguins and Adelie penguins live in adjoining neighborhoods. PENGUINS RULE THE ISLANDS! And I'm a great swimmer.
Megan Lloyd
He sent me a number of seeds sealed up in very small, unmarked manila envelopes. He said they were all poppy seeds and that I could use the poppy plants to make opium. He said it could prove to be a lucrative hobby. None of those seeds has ever sprouted. He was always sketchy.
Felix Cambrensis
- Wyclif and the Dullards
During this reign the memorable preacher Wyclif collected together a curious set of men known as the Lollards or Dullards, because they insisted on walking about with their tongues hanging out and because they were so stupid that they could not do the Bible in Latin and demanded that everyone should be allowed to use an English translation. They were thus heretics and were accordingly unpopular with the top men in the Church who were very good at Latin.
Mark Twain
- Huckleberry Finn
It was a close place. I took it up, and held it in my hand. I was a-trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: "All right, then, I'll go to hell"-and tore it up.
Guru Hank, the One True Sage
What do you know about Kalmykia? Only Buddhist republic in Europe. Used to have a president who had actually been abducted in a flying saucer and produced a graphic autobiography showing himself playing in a band with Jimmy Page. And many other adventures. Also, Kalmykia is home to the undiscovered Exploding Death Worm.

- Bloodstain Pattern Analysis
If we find some blood-laden footprint on the crime scene, the first print produced will always be heavy or dark with blood; followed by some lighter prints. These prints will also indicate whether the person was walking or running as the running footprints have a large space gap between them.
North Carolina State University
- Fire History
Fire has long been a part of North Carolina's environment. Researchers have found charcoal preserved in peat bogs, providing evidence of historical wildfires dating back hundreds of years. We also know that Native Americans practiced controlled burning, often setting fire to their fields after harvest to return nutrients to the soil. This was adopted by European settlers, and prescribed fire has been used across our landscape for the most part since then.

Dolphins sleep, but they do it in a very different way than humans do. These creatures sleep with only half of their brain at a time, while the other half stays awake. This allows them to keep one eye open, which can watch for predators while half of their brain rests. Dolphins switch which half of their brain is asleep every few hours.
Ashlee Anderson
- Annie Oakley
When she was fifteen, Oakley went to Cincinnati to compete against marksman Frank E. Butler. He travelled around the country challenging people to shooting competitions. During the competition, Oakley shot all twenty-five shots, and Butler missed one, making Oakley the winner. Butler was impressed by her skills, and soon they began courting. They were married August 23, 1876.

You will have to make up for the smallness of your size by your courage and selfless devotion to duty, for it is not life that matters, but the courage, fortitude and determination you bring to it.
Joey Esposito
The Ultimate Discovery, the YouTube channel that created the video, describes itself as a "reliable source for totally engaging and transformative content, never ending, aw-inspiring discovery, and binge-worthy entertainment." However, content on its page is more in line with tabloid magazines that focus on fantastical embellishments of news stories presented as fact.
