Author of the book The Cannon King’s Daughter, the American author who created a firestorm in Germany with the true, untold story of the banishment of his great-grandmother, Engelbertha from Germany’s Krupp steel dynasty of Essen.
A previously unreleased photograph dating back to approximately 1865 of my great-grandmother, Engelbertha Krupp Stroebele, emerged recently. She was banished and disinherited from the Krupp steel family of Essen, Germany. She is dressed in white on the left.

Seeing these enormous crowds gathered outside to protest Donald Trump, I am reminded of how Donald had to move his inauguration *inside* the Capitol because he was afraid (rightly) that the crowds outside would be too small.

If there was ever a symbol of why we need to get big money out of politics, reform campaign financing, stop conflicts of interest, and tax great wealth, Elon Musk is it.
Kudos to Susan Crawford on this big victory for democracy, labor rights, and reproductive freedom in Wisconsin.

The second point about gun ownership unless you are a true "patriot" has been discussed by Roger Stone's and the orange guy. Can't take this lightly.

Like Hitler, the US President could stage a similar “Reichtag fire,” point the finger of responsibility at the Democrats, and seize all power making him Dictator. Then, like Hitler, ban all other political parties with the exception of the Republican Party.

America taking over Greenland is a foolish idea. America destroying its relationship with Canada is utter idiocy. America applying tariffs and engaging in trade wars with neighbors is economic nonsense. A lunatic is holding America hostage and his enablers are making fools of themselves.

With the aid of a modified Krupp free-recoil gun carriage, the testing of a type 12-inch steel B.L. mortar was completed at the Sandy Hook Proving Range, New Jersey, on July 18, 1895. A gun (cannon) carriage is a frame and mount that supports the gun barrel of an artillery piece.

Very shocked and saddened after learning that, in 1944, that for his participation in the July 1944 assasination attempt on Hilter, Lt Col Claus von Stauffenberg’s body was disinterred by the SS a day after his execution, cremated, and his ashes disposed of. How unholy.

After reading Diana Friz’s book, Alfred Krupp and Bartold Bietz, I have concluded that Beitz was both a liability to the firm and a backstabber to the surviving family.
