Michael Knowles – Celebrating Columbus
A mid-day pause: I posted twice in the past, but think it should be seen again. As I wrote in 2021,
On this day when all should be celebrating Christopher Columbus and his willingness “sail beyond the sunset,” to use a phrase from Tennyson, this short video give us an accurate picture of the man, his times, and his achievements. It also puts the lie to the bigoted, hateful, leftist slanders that have been used in recent years to poison his legacy.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Prageru is doing a great job on the culture war. The left is not amused that they are being adopted by the school systems in Republican states.. Even in battleground states like Arizona.
From the leftist Tucson newspaper, the red star
“No-“woke”: Arizona schools chief pushes PragerU lessons”

I don’t care for a sanitizing slant any more than I care for a demonizing one.
john hare: From your comment it appears you didn’t actually watch Knowles’ video. He does not sanitize Columbus, he reports the actual details about him.
The world seems too filled these days with close-minded people.
A replica of one of his ships sank just yesterday:

We don’t have many of these things left….
I did watch the video. I also read multiple sources.
I don’t see a video here or in the 2021 post. It’s me, I use brave browser fairly well locked down and a full time VPN. Just weird that this is the only broken page, behindtheblack has permissions granted.
If someone wants to post a direct link, thanks in advance.
John: I wonder if the problem is that this is a Rumble video, not from Youtube. Check your Brave settings to see if it blocks Rumble.
It isn’t just Columbus.
Any push outwards is considered politically unfashionable.
We are still arguing, after many millennia, which is more sacred–Earth or Sky
The Hollywood/Media elites had Earth first for awhile. Space-firsters, however, were divided.
MSFC was the only Red State NASA center, so all the Greens had it in for us even before conservatives who once had our backs started to stab us in the back.
Thanks a bunch.
Now we have a Hitler-Stalin pact with Greens and Bible-thumpers united in wanting Americans on horses again.
