In Biden’s hometown of Wilmington, DE, there was an iconic statue of Caesar Rodney riding to Philly while dying of cancer to cast the tie breaking vote for independence. Like many other commemorations of the past, it was torn down. The sheer gall of this administration amazes me.
Let us reflect on how we make history – not erase history.

The Greek Civil War(1946-49) is very interesting, but rarely talked about. Like Spain, it's a conflict where various RW factions were able to cooperate to defeat a Soviet-backed communist opponent. It's also a key turning point in the global transition from UK to US leadership🧵
