Today's factoid from the history of US fascism: the guy who hatched the idea to publish Goldwater's Conscience of a Conservative in 1960 (the ur-text of US conservatism) was Leo Reardon. In the 1930s Reardon was Father Coughlin's manager & he'd traveled to Nazi Germany as Coughlin's representative.
Reardon arrived in Germany in the second week of January 1939 and made appointments to see both Goebbels and Hitler's Foreign Office head, Joachim von Ribbentrop. Reardon was initially received by a deputy official, Richard Sallet, who had served several years in the German embassy in Washington and was very familiar with U.S. politics. According to the official German Foreign Office memorandum, included among documents captured at the end of the war, it was Sallet's task "10 entertain Reardon and talk to him about German problems." According te the report made by State Secretary Ernst Woermann, "Reardon talked against President Roosevelt and against the Jews, and conveyed Cough-lin's suggestion that Hitler personally make some sort of statement that the Nazis were supporters of Christian religion." Woermann noted that "after spending a few days with Sallet, Reardon saw Ribbentrop. To Ribbentrop he repeated the things he had told Sallet." Ribbentrop replied in vague terms that "they would do the best they could on it. At the close of the interview, Ribbentrop said: 'Give my regards to Father Coughlin. I have a high regard for him.' »57 On January 21, Goebbels personally replied to criticisms of German treatment of Jews coming from across the Atlantic. In a speech entitled "What Does America Actually Want?" he decried the "distorted picture of Germany that was given by a Jewish-dominated press which did not represent the true views of Americans."58 His diary for January 24 records: The manager of Father Coughlin, the anti-Semitic radio priest in America, tells us that America is basically more anti-Semitic than we give it credit for. He would like us to take a more positive attitude toward Christianity. I tell the Führer about this. He intends to touch on the question in his speech to the Reichstag. He intends to put out feelings to the Americans and give an outline of Germany's general posi-tion. I believe that this speech will be very important. 59 On the testimony of Joseph Goebbels, it would appear that Reardon not only encouraged a theme in a speech by Adolf Hitler but had potentially encouraged "feelers" of growing anti-Semitism in the United States. 60 Human Events Played a Part In the spring of 1958, at one of book ever written by a political figure Human Events' periodic staff meetings who had not yet become President with political leaders, James L.

I'm sure Mets fans don't care much about this right now, but...

I'm finalizing the Top 100 and farm rankings and it works out that, by a tiny margin (i.e. subject to change), this trade takes the Mets farm system from #1 ranked to #6...and also moves the Brewers from #6 to #1.

From Ukrainian soldier Officer_33
Russians are trying to flank around Konstiantynivka instead of attacking it head on. They don’t really use armor there any more. Nor ATVs/quad bikes.
Alt text available
In Kostiantynivka, the enemy is trying to carry out the same maneuvers they used when capturing other cities—flanking. For several months now, since reaching the Kleban-Byk Reservoir, the bastards haven’t even tried a frontal assault on Kostiantynivka. Instead, they move around toward Illinivka and Virolubiivka (from the Chasovyi Yar side). Since the end of summer, nothing new has happened in this direction—only infantry slowly slipping through AFU battle lines; there’s not a single hint of mechanized assaults, or even using quad bikes or LATs.

But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.
