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.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
