Let the truth be told, Part I

Truth Be Told: Part I: Forgotten History—the Anti-slave History of America
By Ramblin’ Rose

Too bad that Nikole Hannah-Jones did not study history before publishing her 1619 project, soon to become a book.

Fortunately, Tim Barton of Wallbuilders did review original documents in order to relate the real narrative about the founding of our country. In an interview with Joshua Philipp of the Epoch Times Crossroads at the American Journey Experience Museum, opened in May 2021, Mr. Barton countered the 1619 lies with original notes from our Founding Fathers—verified information—not the “subjective truth” from the left.

In reality, there were black slaves in the Americas in the 1500s—long before 1619-but in Spanish-dominated regions of the Americas. Some may claim that the first black colony of slaves in North America was in 1619. But that is not completely accurate either. The slaves were on a Portuguese ship that fell to British pirates who transported their plunder (19 black slaves) to Jamestown, Virginia, where slavery was illegal in 1619. Consequently, they became indentured servants and gained their freedom after seven years and became landowners in America.

Only in 1653, following a legal case, did slavery become legal in Jamestown. The plaintiff was Anthony Johnson, a black man who sued for the right to own another black man as a slave for the rest of his life. That was the beginning of chattel slavery in the US.

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
