The Best of President Reagan's Humor



Proudly knocked on many doors for him. Grateful and blessed
to have lived in his time. Belongs on Mt. Rushmore.


This is what an American President is supposed to conduct themselves. President Raegan was an amazing leader and he loved the founding core principals of this country more than anything. He was like a parental figure to many people. You’ll hear lots of stories about how he went out of his way to make people laugh and smile. A man who had power used it for the common good. That’s what an American president is supposed to be. There will never be another like him. RIP President Raegan ❤

35 Random Acts of Kindness That Will Make You Cry !



A lot of these made me cry but I really lost it at the guy putting his hand on the rail of the bench so the guy infront could pass out comfortably. Its such a act of love for another person. The guy doesnt know what’s happening in his life and for him to just do this one thing for him to make sure he can get a few relaxing moments by putting his hand there shows a lot about his character. I wish them both every greatness.

Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800.

 

 Research suggests that white slavery was a more common phenomenon than previously understood, particularly between the 16th and 18th centuries in the Mediterranean and Barbary Coast regionsStudies indicate that over a million European Christians were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa during this period, a number significantly higher than previous estimates. 

Elaboration:

    The Barbary corsairs, based in North African coastal cities like Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli, were known for raiding European ships and coastal towns to capture and enslave people.

    Professor Robert Davis' research, published in his book "Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters," estimates that between 1530 and 1780, over a million Europeans were enslaved by Muslims in North Africa. Some estimates suggest this number could have reached 1.25 million.

    These enslaved Europeans faced harsh conditions, similar to those endured by African slaves in the transatlantic slave trade. They were often forced into labor, including galley rowing, and some were subjected to conversion to Islam.

    While the Barbary slave trade is well-documented, it's important to remember that slavery involving Europeans also occurred in other regions, including the Arab slave trade and the Ottoman Empire.

    The term "white slavery" is sometimes used in modern contexts to refer to forms of forced labor, often involving debt bondage, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse, according to the Unseen website.

  When someone hurts you, does you wrong, if you keep thinking about it, then you’re letting them continue to hurt you. Don’t give them your power. You have to let it go. Give it to God.

  God has given us different personalities, different gifts, different temperaments. Sometimes, we’re fighting who we are by trying to be like someone else. You have to accept who God has made you to be.

 You have to realize God is supernatural. The good news is He’s not having a down year. No, God owns it all. You are connected to a supply line that will never run dry. The economy may go up or down, but that’s not your source. God is your source.
