#OTD in 1945 – Éamon de Valera responds to Winston Churchill’s victory speech during which Churchill took one last jab at Irish neutrality.

Few outside of Ireland could understand the neutral stance of the Irish Free State during the war. Churchill most certainly did not when he said: “Owing to the action of Mr de Valera, so much at variance with the temper and instinct of thousands of Southern Irishmen who hastened to the battle-front to prove their ancient valour, the approaches and the Southern Irish ports and airfields could so…

FDR's Mentors: Navigating the Path to Greatness by Michael J. Gerhardt #BookReview #ARC #NetGalley #KensingtonBooks

A just-published book explores the people who influenced #FDR throughout his life. From #WoodrowWilson to #AlSmith to his own wife, #EleanorRoosevelt, #FDRsMentors goes where few books have gone before. #Bookreview #ARC #KensingtonBooks #USPresident

Franklin Delano Roosevelt wasn’t a born leader. He became one. As a boy, he was in poor health, was insecure, and an average student at best. Growing into manhood, the lessons he learned came not from books but from influencers of his lifetime, beginning with Endicott Peabody, the most renowned US headmaster of the twentieth century. He instilled in Roosevelt a confidence and strength that…

Simulant (15): A repainted Mona Lisa, but never capturing the enigmatic smile.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Simulant". #Simulant. #SkyCinema sci-fi that's overly familiar. 3/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Simulant” (2023). “Simulant” feels like a decent attempt by Sky Movies to create an interesting Sci-Fi film in the same vein as “Ex Machina” and “Blade Runner”. But it feels like its budget was several million short! “Simulant” is a Sky Original production, available to view in the UK on Sky or Now TV. Bob the Movie Man Rating: Plot Summary It’s the near…

Battle of the Boyne - Pope backed King Billy!

On July 12 every year, Irish Protestants celebrate the Battle of the Boyne even though the Pope backed King Billy - Tony McMahon explains

On July 12 every year, Loyalist Protestants and members of the Orange Order celebrate the Battle of the Boyne. Why? Because this was when the Protestant King William III of England – or King Billy if you prefer – defeated the overthrown English king, James II who had fled to Ireland with his forces. James had tried to restore the Catholic faith in his realms (England, Scotland, Wales, and…

Danfield’s 10 Year Private Reserve Small Batch

Review by: TOModera It’s surprise whisky time! That’s right, it’s time for me to review a sample I didn’t even remember owning! Where did I get it? An Xmas gift from a friend! Yay! Honestly, I’m more so happy about the surprise. Danfield’s Private Reserve Small Batch is an uncommon, low end brand of Canadian whisky. It’s aged for 10 years, and is a blend, like a lot of Canadian whiskies. Oh,…
