Rotten to the Core ·

2024/06/02

The man in our lesson today, Idi Amin, wasn’t only a rotten dictator; he was a literal cannibal, and one of his favorite ways to have his enemies killed was with a hammer to the head. Sadly to say, the hammer was one of the more merciful ways Idi had people murdered. Which I can’t even wrap my head around. Let’s peer into his mysterious life and see all the rotten things that this horrible man did to those around him.Magic mirror on the wall, who is the most rotten one of all? Advertising Inquiries:

The man in our lesson today, Pol Pot, was a Cambodian dictator communist who orchestrated the Cambodian genocide of over two million humans. No one was safe under his leadership. It didn’t matter if you were Christian, non-religious, rich, or poor. All to create a society based on agriculture that he was hopeful would turn into a fully communist one. How did he do that? By enslaving as many people as he could and forcing them to work in the fields and farms after he took away all of their worldly

Rotten to the Core ·

2024/05/13

I first heard about Madame LaLaurie from American Horror Story Coven, my favorite season. Played by Kathy Bates, she gave the character depth and eventually some humanity. There was even a point when I felt sympathy for the character.The real Delphine deserves no sympathy, though! After researching her for this lesson, I learned that she really was a heartless monster.It’s no wonder people claimed that she was a demon.I wanted to learn what was real and what was made up about her crimes, and I’m sad

Humans are always looking for someone to admire. Sometimes, it’s a god, a celebrity, or someone influential from the past. I look up to Saint Dolly Parton and Eartha Kitt. During the Great Depression, there were some movie stars who garnered attention, but the real stars of the time were gangsters! We’ve learned about several of them already, but the biggest, baddest of them all was John Dillinger, the most famous bank robber in U.S. history. He not only robbed over twenty-four banks, but he also
