Thank you @Sabri-KC

Today is my birthday.

Hope you had a nice day!

Director and TV personality Theo Van Gogh was shot dead on Tuesday 2 November 2004 shortly after nine o'clock in the Linnaeusstraat in Amsterdam-Oost. An open letter to VVD member of parliament Hirsch Ali was stabbed with a knife on Theo's body. The perpetrator was 27-year-old extremist Muslim Mohammed Bouyeri, who was arrested a few minutes later after an exchange of gunfire with the police. A motorcycle cop, a bystander and the suspect were injured in the shooting. In the hours after the murder, the Amsterdam police also arrested eight people in connection with the case. Bouyeri and the other detainees were part of the terrorist cell known as the Hofstad Group. 1918 - A general uprising known as the November Revolution breaks out in Germany, culminating in the deposition of German Emperor Wilhelm II and the formation of a democratic republic. 1930 - Haile Selassie is crowned Emperor of Ethiopia.

I remember the murder of Van Gogh well. Just like then, I cannot understand how a religion can turn people into murderers.

Every where in the world they kill people for religie its sad

In my opinion, the generalization to all religions is untenable. In my opinion, Islam has a very big problem with violence, misogyny, homophobia and murder. Van Gogh pointed this out very clearly. A very difficult topic...

Today is 6 November and this happened today in the past:

1️⃣ On 6 November 1860, Americans elected as their president Abraham Lincoln, whose victory led to the secession of Southern states and the long and bloody Civil War that lasted until 1865 and ended slavery in the U.S. Also today Trump is again elected the president of the U.S., but that is not news in the past. 🙄🙄 And on this day in 1984, U.S. President Ronald Reagan won reelection in a landslide victory over Democratic candidate Walter F. Mondale. This i saw online on the news in the past website. Which of these presidents do you like the most? For me I think Abraham Lincoln because he ended the Civil War in America and slavery. 🎆🥰🥰🆓

2️⃣ On this day in 1917, the second phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917 began as the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia. 🇷🇺

3️⃣ American politician Tammy Baldwin, she is a Democrat from Wisconsin, became the first openly gay person to be elected to the U.S. Senate. 👩‍❤️‍👩📝 This happened on this day in 2012.

4️⃣ These people were born on 6 November: American director Mike Nichols (1931), American actress Sally Field (1946), American television journalist Maria Shriver (1955) and American actor, director, and novelist Ethan Hawke (1970). 🎊🎉🎈🎁🎂

For me barack obama and abraham lincoln

Today is 7 November and this happened today in the past:

1️⃣ On this day in 2000, the U.S. presidential election ended in a statistical tie between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, only to be settled on 12 December 2000 by the U.S. Supreme Court after a bitter legal dispute. 📜🏛️ Who do you like more George Bush or Al Gore as president and why? I looked online and George Bush won the dispute and he became the president. 🏆🏅

2️⃣ On the same day in 2000, American politician Hillary Clinton was elected to the U.S. Senate, becoming the first first lady to win elective office. I first thought that it was a mistake the last sentence because it said two times first. But first lady means the wife of a president or an old president. 👩👨‍🦰👩‍❤️‍👨

3️⃣ Canadian musician Leonard Cohen who was a hugely influential singer and songwriter 🎤🎼, known for spare songs that carried an existential bite, died at age 82 on this day in 2016. 🙏🌹 @Miss_Penpal I copied this from the site where I always look for the news of the day in the past. Do people in Canada know that singer well?

4️⃣ NASA launched on 7 November 1996 the Mars Global Surveyor, a robotic spacecraft designed to carry out a long-term study of the planet. 🌍🛸 Contact with the spacecraft was lost in 2006. @Etienne maybe we can find the spacecraft with PPG members? 😛

5️⃣ Eleanor Roosevelt - who was first lady of the United States and one of the world's most widely admired and powerful women, known as a diplomat and a humanitarian - died in New York City on 7 November 1962 at age 78. 🌼🌼⭐🙏

6️⃣ The October Revolution (named after the dates of this event in the Julian calendar), the last phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917, ended on 7 November as the Bolshevik Party seized power in Russia, inaugurating the Soviet regime. 🇷🇺 Here you can read more about the Russian Revolution: https://www.history.com/topics/european-history/russian-revolution

7️⃣ In the Battle of Tippecanoe ⚔️ on 7 November 1811, a seasoned U.S. expeditionary force under Major General William Henry Harrison defeated Shawnee Indians led by Tecumseh's brother Laulewasikau (Tenskwatawa), known as the Prophet. I looked up online for news and if you want to read more about Tippecanoe you can read it here: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/war-1812/battles/tippecanoe

8️⃣ These people were born on 7 November: French physicist Marie Curie (1967), Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky (1879), French author Albert Camus (1913) and Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell (1943). 🎊🎉🎈🎁🎂

I don't know about other Canadians, but I've never heard of him. And I also searched up some of his songs (because I always forget the names of people I don't know personally), I'm pretty sure I've never heard them before.

Hi Yue and Miss_Penpal,

I just watched a series about Leonard Cohen on TV some weeks ago.
https://www.ardmediathek.de/serie/so-long-marianne/staffel-1/Y3JpZDovL25kci5kZS81MDI0/1
I knew/know some songs of him...

...and he also had a love affair with Joni Mitchel. You mentioned that she has birthday today.
Wonderful song writerin!

There is the lyrics of a song of Joni Mitchel,
It`s called "Both Sides Now" or "Clouds"

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

Greetings to @Fleurke, who loves clouds
