Some very old Brit History for your consideration:
On December 28, 1065, the new Romanesque Westminster Abbey, built by King Edward the Confessor as his royal burial church, was consecrated, though Edward was too ill to attend and died just over a week later, becoming the first person buried there. This significant event marked the completion of his grand monastic project, which would later be rebuilt in the Gothic style by Henry III and become the site for all English coronations from William the Conqueror onwards.
Key Details:
** Founder's Illness: Edward the Confessor was too ill (having suffered a stroke) to attend the dedication.
** Burial: He died on January 5, 1066, and was buried in his new church before the High Altar.
** Significance: It was built as a replacement for an older Saxon church and became the "westminster," distinguishing it from St Paul's "east minster".
** Legacy: Parts of Edward's original church, like the ancient door, still exist, but Henry III later rebuilt it in the magnificent Gothic style.

The Daily Signal -- On today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words 👇🏼
Victor Davis Hanson distinguishes between crass and refined crudity—showing how the latter misleads the public under the guise of authority or expertise.
We think the MSM isn't powerful, but when they ignore a story completely...I'm sorry, it goes away.
Until this changes, the corruption will continue.
And Gemini AI on Google isn't any better. I asked about "Which party commits more fraud and it went back to Rod R. Blagojevich and said "It is found on both sides", then trotted out something that implied Republicans commit more. THIS IS BECAUSE REPUBLICANS WILL CONVICT THEIR OWN WHEN THEY CHEAT.
