King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, parents of the current Queen, in rubble after Buckingham Palace was bombed in 1940. #WWII
The King and Queen, who were in residence, were about to go down to the palace's shelter when they were shook by bombs. Fortunately, they were unhurt. Spot Winston Churchill inspecting the rubble!
The King and Queen refused to leave London despite the bomb raids. After Buckingham Palace was bombed, the Queen was to comment: "I'm glad we have been bombed. Now I can look the East End in the face." East End of London (the Docklands) suffered extensive damage in #WWII

Louis Blériot was the first man to fly across the English Channel in an airplane in 1909, to huge acclaim. Three years later, an American Harriet Quimby became the first woman to achieve the same feat.
Harriet Quimby was a show-woman. She affected an image of growing up in wealth but in fact came from a poor family. She combined exemplary flying skills and courage with commercial instincts.
She used her glamorous image to attract advertisers to pay for her flying exploits.

Sir Humphrey: Minister, Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last five hundred years: to create a disunited Europe. In that cause we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, with the French and Italians
... against the Germans, and with the French against the Germans and Italians. Divide and rule, you see. Why should we change now, when it's worked so well?
Hacker: That's all ancient history, surely?
Sir Humphrey: Yes, and current policy.

Top secret map President Roosevelt used to track the invasion of Normandy in June, 1944. #DDay75
'More than a year in the planning, D-Day was originally set to start on 5 June, judged to be the most likely date to combine calm seas, a full moon and low water at first light. However, storms meant it was delayed by 24 hours to 6 June.' bbc.com/news/world-485…
'Shortly after midnight, three US and British airborne divisions, more than 23,000 men, took off to secure the flanks of the beaches. Myriad naval vessels and landing craft gathered at a location in the Channel dubbed "Piccadilly Circus".

1 like = 1 curiosidade bem aleatória (e até um pouco desnecessária) que eu sei kkkkkkkk (rindo de nervoso)

PS: gostei dessa porra
1- Quando o Rei George VI (pai da Elizabeth II) morreu um problema protocolar surgiu, sua esposa deveria se tornar a Rainha Mãe, mas sua Mãe ainda estava viva, ou seja, a Inglaterra tecnicamente teve três rainhas durante um período
2- San Marino é a república mais antigo do mundo, são mais de 500 anos como um república independente

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)

1/ Thread.... @jerome_corsi @cbts_stream #QAnon posts a photo of a tower in Shanghai, China - #KingTower.

Also, note the open window.

"Focus on substance around outside of window.
Upon entry ……."

It looks like the open window is on the 35th floor.
2/ " The building is divided vertically into two zones: the upper zone houses the [Jin Qiao] headquarters while the lower zones are for tenants." skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php…

So, #Qanon is asking us t ofocus on the Jin Qiao Group's headquarters on the upper floors of the building.
3/ More corroborating evidence regarding Jin Qiao as being the owner of the #QAnon #KingTower
