Why you can’t stand “normal” life anymore
~ Telos ~

…an 8 and a half minute video

“It’s getting harder to pretend that “normal life” still makes sense. Do you feel it too? The parties, the shopping, the endless noise of the season—it’s all been hijacked. Something real has gone missing. So let’s pause here together for some honest conversation—for the old soul who craves truth more than distraction, for the seeker who longs for wisdom deeper than surface joy.”
(Telos)

hope you have a great day!

The Year the Army Wasn’t Paid: American Thinker …“A compromise between the political parties in the angrily disputed presidential election of 1876 placed Republican Rutherford B. Hayes in office and ended the last vestiges of Reconstruction in the South.  In short order, the already depleted U.S. Army units attempting to counter an ascendant Ku Klux Klan were transferred to duties elsewhere as the Service braced itself for a round of personnel cuts now that the mission in the South was at an end.  What happened next caught even some of the most pessimistic soldiers by surprise. The winding down of Reconstruction had seen corresponding reductions in the Army to roughly 39,000 men in 1869, 30,000 the following year, and 25,000 in 1874.  In 1877, the House of Representatives, now under the control of Southern Democrats little more than a decade after the Civil War, moved to cut the Army — “the unholy instrument of repression” during Reconstruction — to 17,000, then 15,000, lest the federal government be tempted to use it again domestically. Proposed amendments and legislative maneuvering also resulted in the 54th Congress adjourning in March, before they had passed an appropriations bill for the coming fiscal year.  For the sake of political expediency, the president did not call Congress back into session to rectify the matter.  Thus, as of June 30, 1877, neither officers nor enlisted men, be they soldier, sailor, or marine, was able to draw even a dime of pay.  The delegation from Texas, however, broke ranks with the Southern Democrats and made it clear that they wanted even more troops because of the ongoing problems with the Apaches along the Mexican border and continued raiding by the Cheyenne.”
