ARTICLE: Dad’s Army and the Art of Prowling, WW2 I came across a hilarious pamphlet produced in the Second World War and decided I had to share the contents with you.

Turns out they really don’t like it up β€˜em if it’s in the kidneys. The art of prowling as taught to the Home Guard in #WW2

When The Lie's So Big
YouTube video by Frank Zappa - Topic When The Lie's So Big

Central Scrutinizer with counter programming to the SOTU. Instead we'll listen to FZ's wise words.

When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The republican trick
People tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!

When The Lie is So Big/Broadway The Hard Way/1988

The Republican Party Has a Nazi Problem How did the GOP become a haven for slogans and ideas straight out of the Third Reich?

If wannabe Nazis now confidently roam the halls of powerβ€”and the streets of American citiesβ€”it is because Republican leaders have made them feel at home.
