On July 4th we celebrate the courage of those men and women who embraced the idea of freedom and indepedence and sacrificed much to earn it. It took over seven years from the time the Declaration of Independence was signed until the day the British surrendered, but those in the halls of Congress, and those who rallied behind such a powerful ideal didn't know how long the task would last. Today we are honored and inspired by those same "self- evident" truths to continue building a more perfect Union, no matter how long the task will take. Happy Indepedence Day! #independenceday #transformers #distributiontransformers #fieldservices #temporarypower #circulareconomy #sustainability #rentalpower
Happy Independence Day! Today we celebrate the freedom and unity in our country that empowers us to achieve greatness at Sunbelt Solomon.

Concerns about the so called "Safe Supply Drug" Program in BC: 1️⃣ Toxicity of unregulated drug market remains unaddressed. 2️⃣ Overdose deaths have not decreased, with 2,224 in BC in 2021. 3️⃣ Public safety is at risk with increased public drug use. 4️⃣ Lack of support services perpetuates addiction cycle. BC NDP/Liberal Premier David Eby's recent plans to recriminalize public drug use shows a shift in government stance. Due to his lack of support in the polls , his about face looks like its purely out of self interest & self preservation. Drastic measures for identifying & addressing root causes of addiction, ensuring public safety, and providing support services is needed. Let’s work together and oust the NDP/Liberal government coalition from BC and tell them NO MORE so called "Safe Supply" paid for by tax payers and recriminalize hard drugs. We need to tell the NDP/LIBERAL's to Stop poisoning our community, secondly stop acting like you didn't create the problem. Jagmeet Singh is POISONING our province and our country by supporting the Liberals. He can put a vote of no confidence at any given time, but instead he chooses to flood British Colombia with Hard Drugs to poison British Colombians.

🏴 🇬🇧 You can take the boy out of England but apparently you can't take England out of the boy 🏴 🇬🇧 Last week, I was really excited to see that the United Kingdom is minting new King Charles III 50p pieces. 👛 These coins carry not only the weight of the nation's heritage but also a subtle yet significant shift that reflects its evolving society. Tradition has long been the cornerstone of British culture. One such tradition is the depiction of monarchs on currency, a practice that spans centuries. 👑 The unveiling of the King Charles III profile on the 50p piece is noteworthy, as it is customary for the monarch's face to be in the opposite direction to that of the previous reigning monarch (see image below). This intriguing alteration pays homage to our historical continuity while also heralding a new era. But as we celebrate tradition, it is equally important to recognize the vitality of change. Embracing change doesn't diminish our respect for the past; rather, it amplifies our capacity to evolve and grow. Our society is dynamic, shaped by the world around us, and it is essential that our actions reflect a thoughtful consideration of both the old and the new. We stand at a crossroads where honoring tradition and embracing change coexist harmoniously. Tradition is a compass that guides us, reminding us of where we come from, while change is the wind that propels us forward, opening up new horizons. As we hold the King Charles III 50p piece in our hands, it reminds us of the importance of continuity, the value of our shared history, and the limitless potential that comes with embracing change. #TraditionAndChange #KingCharlesIII50p #EmbraceChange #HeritageAndProgress #EvolutionOfSociety

⚜ Demystifying Henry V: A Ruthless Examination Aleksa Vučković’s portrayal of Henry V is an exercise in historical romanticism, bordering on hagiography. To render a balanced assessment, we must strip away the myths and expose the stark realities of Henry V's reign. Agincourt: Victory or Pyrrhic Triumph? Vučković lauds the Battle of Agincourt as Henry V’s military genius. However, this victory relied heavily on luck. The French knights, bogged down in mud, were easy targets for the English archers. To call this a masterpiece of strategy disregards the substantial role of serendipity and French blunders. Diplomatic Farce: The Treaty of Troyes The article celebrates the Treaty of Troyes as a diplomatic masterstroke, but it was an opportunistic exploitation of France's internal disarray. Charles VI’s madness and the Armagnac-Burgundian conflict created a desperate situation that Henry V ruthlessly exploited. This was not diplomacy but opportunism masked as statesmanship. Governance: Superficial Reforms and Ruthless Suppression Vučković’s depiction of Henry V as a reformer is overstated. The so-called reforms were superficial, aimed at consolidating power. Henry's reign saw ruthless suppression of dissent, most notably against the Lollards. His administrative measures enforced control rather than genuine reform. The Dark Side of Conquest The human cost of Henry V's campaigns in France was immense, marked by brutality and widespread devastation. The occupation of Normandy involved systematic destruction and harsh rule. Vučković’s narrative omits these grim realities, presenting a sanitized version of events. Misguided Hero Worship Vučković’s article uncritically praises Henry V as an ideal monarch. This portrayal ignores the king's aggressive warmongering, religious persecution, and prioritization of dynastic ambition over the well-being of his subjects. The comparison to Edward I is particularly egregious. A Legacy Tarnished by Reality The article’s near-idolatrous tone fails to capture the complexities of Henry V’s reign. While he achieved military victories, these came at a tremendous human cost and were often facilitated by factors beyond his control. His administrative reforms were about tightening his grip on power. His legacy, far from being an unblemished heroic saga, is marred by aggression, opportunism, and disregard for the true costs of his ambitions. Conclusion To canonize Henry V as the "most capable medieval English king" is to ignore the multifaceted nature of his rule. His reign, marked by commendable and condemnable actions, must be evaluated with a discerning eye. Stripped of romanticized embellishments, Henry V's legacy is a complex tapestry of ambition, brutality, and opportunism—a far cry from the idealized figure Vučković presents.
Henry V was a monarch whose strategic genius reshaped medieval Europe. His reign embodied the very essence of courage and leadership, emerging as a beacon of strength and vision in the Hundred Years' War.
