    J.D. Vance Is Weird. He Is Also Evil.

    weird

    J.D. Vance Is Extremely Weird It is a well known fact that J.D. Vance is weird. From his irrational hatred of “childless cat ladies” to his awkwardness at choosing doughnuts. he has proven this over and over again. At first, this stuff was slightly funny, and was highly discussed.

    Liberation Of Paris fighting fascism deGaulle being welcomed

    Fighting Fascism: The Liberation of Paris The 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Paris was held in August. I am currently reading a book about the Liberation of Paris.

Dwight Eisenhower originally did NOT want to spend the time to liberate Paris. According to the National WWII Museum: In August 1944, as the Allies gained the upper hand in the battle of France, Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower…
