Oh you can say anything you want, it's finding someone who wants to listen to you that's the problem.

You forgot that freedom of speech is a governmental constraint. Non-governmental entities are not bound by the same rules.
Don't even try that bollocks. If you keep saying exactly the same thing over and over again then you get the boot. This discussion is over.
Interesting, the Red Cross had literally just finished their famine relief effort at the same time.
Also 100 years ago - Winston Churchill, the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, presented his plans to the House of Commons for creating an independent Arab state in Mesopotamia, which would become Iraq; and to maintain the Zionist state in Palestine, which would become Israel.

The Red Cross had helped the Chinese who were starving 100 years ago?
Apparently. I didn't know that either. Wikipedia told me

One hundred years ago, the June 23, 1921 Charlevoix (Michigan) Sentinel reported that the renowned German director Eric von Stroheim’s latest Hollywood production would be coming July 23 to the Majestic theater that faced up Park Avenue from Bridge Street. The film was “the deluxe production ‘The Devil’s Passkey,’ a sensational photodrama of women’s greatest temptation. Created by man who knows and who knows you know. Human, because it is true and real; gripping, because it gives you some people you know well, in the one tremendous crisis of their lives. A Universal Jewell production.”
Interesting stuff. It's a 'lost film' because no print is known to exist.

Now we know.

Learning about this statistic in a media class, it has forever stuck in my brain. (A page on lost films linked to from The Devil's Pass Key entry.)

Here's some kindling to throw on the fire! 🔥 🔥
A hundred years ago, on June 4, 1921? ...
Warren G. Harding was the twenty-ninth President of the United States. He was as corrupt as our forty-fifth President, Donald J. Trump. As examples, The Teapot Dome Scandal. And Harding's extramarital affair with Nan Britton.
Just like Trump's bedtime rendezvous with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal. Stormy called him "Mr. Puny"
No actually, Donald Trump was much worse than Harding. Donald Trump will go down as the worst President in our history. You can take that to the bank.

You get demerits for not referencing ‘Little Jerry’ in your post.
