Believe that if those black regiments had been allowed to lead the assault, that would have been it. In other words, we can imagine black soldiers marching, charging over blanford hill, right, into petersburg. Thats a very soothing image. I think that tells us more about how we want to remember the war than the battle itself, because anyone who has studied civil war battles, they never go as planned. Right . Theres always something that goes afoul. So is it any surprise that given this massive d...

Gracious god, after 150 years of reflection and remembrance, we invoke your name so that you would prod our hearts to remember the lives lost in battle so that we might seek peace in our time. We acknowledge your reconciling presence always at work. Even through battles. Which has brought women and men together from all walks of life from every stat...

Cohesion of a battlefront is lost on both sides, north and south. And so its unclear how many people are stuck in the crater. Theyre stuck in there well enough for one survivor to say that the men who were dead couldnt fall and the living were squirming beneath their feet and blood is running into the tops of their shoes. So i dont know how many that is, but most people on the outside trying to move forward but the problem is they didnt know that these honeycombed bombproofs were behind the batt...

The lieutenant and commanded the first Nato Training Mission in afghanistan before retiring. He was a very animated and energetic speaker. He always made it interesting. He was first person who ever actually make history something that i wanted to go sit down and talk to because he didnt really teach history nearly as much as he told stories. Isnt that what history really is . Its a story. Its our story. Its the story of what got us here today. So we commemorate the battle crater which is just o...

Include exchanges established by the federal government. In case they didnt establish us, the federal government did so instead. What we have in these cases is we have a group of individuals who sued and argued in violation of the law and in this case the implications are not only that the people and the states were not good subsidies but millions of people in the states will also not be subject to the individual employer mandate as a result of the subsidies being unavailable. Some numbers i hav...

The republicans are viewed a so extreme by the left at this point, you know, they are not at they are sort of papering over the differences on the democratic side but i think that those differences are certainly there. And they are certainly bubbling up. One last phone call. Sue is a democratic caller. Caller how are you doing . I think hillary is the only democrat that, you know, the others are just waited too late to get in the name. I dont know their names or anything about them when you do m...

Watch. And how does that make you feel, really, since it was so important to you . I would do it again. I mean, i think it is so important to try to push this issue forward. Somebody had to start. And people said to me, its too complicated. It cant be done. And i showed them it can be done. Thats really the most important thing. The second most important thing that came out of this is we got dynamic scoring of a tax bill for the first time. Dynamic scoring is a much more real world evaluation of...

Same time that they are moving towards normalizing relationships. Anything not been like this in the past. Does not mean that over we cant two years anticipate them taking certain up ions that we may end finding deeply troubling. Either inside of cuba or with respect to their foreignpolicy.

Normalizing int of relations is that it gives us a greater opportunity to have with that go...
