I’d call the Italian mafia and Italian Catholic Church as anti-Mussolini more than I would ever call them anti-fascist.
Well the two were sort of synonymous in that context, but I understand your point given the modern associations of that term.
I’m focusing more on the contemporary associations the Catholic Church was making with Fascist Franco in Spain at the time.
Fair, I’ll have to look into that!

If you can listen to an exact full quote from Trump where he mentions nothing about how he thinks people should be injecting bleach, it was the reporter that asked about injecting bleach, and then Trump clearly responded to the reporter with "It wouldn't be through injections" and then still think that Trump told people to inject bleach, or listen to an exact quote from Trump saying “and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally,” and then still somehow think that he was saying that white nationalist were good people, then I think you are hearing what you want to hear and I don't know what more I can do here to help with the comprehension.
Well, I think you are also hearing what you want to hear and being way too generous with a person who has a track record of saying absurd, off the wall, poorly informed, and impulsive nonsense. I think the quotes you provided speak for themselves.
Alright, let's take the one that I feel doesn't leave any room for misinterpretation as long as you are getting the full quote. Explain to me how Trump saying, and I quote, "I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally,” is Trump saying that there were good people among the white nationalist?
He literally said that he was "not talking about the white nationalist" with those exact words, and then condemned them totally, which the media would then lie about and try to claim that he did not want to condemn them even though he condemned them in the very same speech, they just conveniently edited out that part in their clips. And if you need more, here are 38 more times of Trump condemning it which the media will never show, even though you would think if their intentions were good, that they would want to show Trump condemning it.
So, please explain to me how all this is really Trump saying that "there were good people among the white nationalist"?
So, please explain to me how all this is really Trump saying that "there were good people among the white nationalist"?
Because that's literally what he said. You can't just claim "there were good people at the neo-nazi rally" and then say "no, I'm not talking about the Nazis" and expect to be credible.
Trump: "Excuse me, excuse me. They didn’t put themselves -- and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides. You had people in that group. Excuse me, excuse me. I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name."
Reporter: "George Washington and Robert E. Lee are not the same."
Trump: "George Washington was a slave owner. Was George Washington a slave owner? So will George Washington now lose his status? Are we going to take down -- excuse me, are we going to take down statues to George Washington? How about Thomas Jefferson? What do you think of Thomas Jefferson? You like him?"
Again, his words speak for themselves. Maybe you think this kind of speech is becoming of a leader of the free world. Not me, and I don't think most Americans do either.

I don’t know how common it actually is, but there is definitely the perception that Italian “kids” are helped by their parents for longer and to a greater degree than Anglo/Northern European countries. And the stereotype goes that this is even more true for men, and the further south you go in Italy.
Zingerman's Bakehouse has a good one on Wednesdays—plain or with tomato. Order in the main sandwich line, then pick it up next door.
What does it cost, only about 25 bucks?
Pretty sure it's $5. And they have tomato soup you can add on. I don't make my way up to the deli too often, but the Bakehouse has some good lunch specials. Easy place to drop in and pick up bread, too.
That’s good to know!
I believe if the show went that route it would have veered off into fantastical, B-tiered drama. The fact that Dr. Melfi didn't, as she puts into her own words, break the socially compact, makes her a much more compelling and realistic character.
the socially compact
The sacred and the propane.
I think that removes a lot of the weight of the show. Melfi’s decision was so big because she resists giving into vengeance, and the criminal goes on without any consequence.
Tony finding out from someone else would definitely keep Melfi’s integrity intact, but it kind of sidesteps the full weight of that decision. The show would basically be having its cake and eating it too, which I think is beneath The Sopranos.
Melfi’s decision was so big because she resists giving into vengeance, and the criminal goes on without any consequence.
Forcing the viewer to confront their own morality. "What would you do? And by the way, how have you been feeling watching all of this violence? Feel good?"
Hot take. The weird Carmela cut is actually the last real thing we see happen in the series. It signifies that everything from there on out is Carmela’s fantasy of a series of circumstances leading up to Tony getting whacked, so that she can finally be free to be with principal guy. But the final fade to black shows us that, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t bring herself to want to see Tony dead. She just loves him too much.
Title: The Role of Mathematics in the French Military during the Napoleonic Wars
Introduction
The Napoleonic Wars, a series of conflicts that took place between 1803 and 1815, were marked by advances in military strategy, tactics, and technology. One of the key factors that contributed to the French military's success during these wars was the application of mathematics. This essay will explore how the French military utilized mathematical principles during the Napoleonic Wars, drawing from four primary sources.
The Art of War One of the most important mathematical applications during the Napoleonic Wars was in the realm of military strategy. The French military employed geometric principles in planning their campaigns and determining the most efficient routes for their troops. This strategic approach was informed by the works of Antoine-Henri Jomini, a Swiss military strategist who would later serve as a general in the French army (Duffy 1990, 56). Jomini's influential work, "The Art of War," emphasized the use of mathematical principles in military planning, such as the use of geometric shapes to represent armies and their movements (Jomini 1838).
Artillery and Ballistics Another area where mathematics played a crucial role was in artillery and ballistics. The French military made significant strides in the development of artillery during the Napoleonic Wars, and this progress was largely due to the application of mathematical principles. Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval, a French artillery officer, played a pivotal role in the modernization of French artillery by standardizing and improving their design (Crowdy 2007, 78). Gribeauval's work involved the use of complex mathematical formulas to calculate the range, trajectory, and accuracy of artillery fire (Smith 1998, 101).
Fortification and Engineering Mathematics also played a significant role in the design and construction of fortifications during the Napoleonic Wars. The French military relied on advanced mathematical techniques, such as differential equations, to calculate the optimal shapes and angles for fortifications (Nosworthy 1995, 162). The construction of these fortifications also required skilled engineers who possessed a strong understanding of mathematical principles. One such engineer was Marc René, marquis de Montalembert, who was renowned for his innovative designs and use of mathematical principles in the construction of forts (Kiley 2009, 23).
Cartography and Mapping Finally, the French military's ability to create accurate maps and charts was instrumental in their success during the Napoleonic Wars. The development of cartography relied heavily on mathematical techniques, such as triangulation, to produce accurate and detailed maps (Black 1992, 190). This allowed the French military to plan their movements and campaigns with greater precision, giving them a significant advantage over their adversaries.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the application of mathematical principles was a crucial factor in the French military's success during the Napoleonic Wars. From military strategy and artillery to fortification and cartography, mathematics played a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of these conflicts. The works of Jomini, Gribeauval, Montalembert, and others demonstrate the importance of mathematical knowledge in the development of innovative and effective military tactics.

Wow, that’s way better than the previous outputs.
Also by using books way harder to check if the book even says that imo
True. Interesting to see what direction this takes.
