🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'In France, a family reckons with World War II Allies' legacy of rape and murder'
- kudos:If there were such a thing as a good army fighting a good war, it would be the Allies in World War II.

- kudos:Interested by Ken’s take here, even if it doesn’t necessarily make me feel better about gestures at everything.

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'Baseball Baptisms and the British Mission'

🔗 linkblog: my thoughts on 'McConnell called Trump 'stupid' and 'despicable' in private after the 2020 election, a new book says'

Gift Link link to “Michigan Father Dies in Israeli Airstrike in Lebanon, Family Says”
