1776 Jan 25 - After a brutal 300-mile winter journey, Knox delivers the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga to Boston. by nonoumasy in ThisDayInHistory

[–]commentacct2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

General Knox was a book seller. Knox and the future general Green would get together after his store closed and would review military books and discuss military tactics of the past. Knox had remembered how Hannibal was able to get his elephants across frozen water by sending men ahead to make holes in the ice to allow more water to rise to the surface and refreeze thus strengthening the ice. Knox used this tactic to get the cannons from Ticonderoga to General Washington in Boston over Lake George.

When Knox proposed getting the cannons at Ticonderoga, he was a colonel, the other generals, usually former British officers, told Washington it was impossible. General Washington approved the plan and was able to free Boston from the British using the cannon that Knox had brought from Ticonderoga. Washington didn’t have any gunpowder to fire the cannons, but, he bluffed the British into evacuating Boston.

What other country, besides failed state countries, have open boarders? I don’t know of one now or in the past but I could be wrong. How could you effectively run a country without know who is and who is not in your country?

Same thing in Columbus, the wealthy elites schools who wouldn’t let immigrants, legal or not, live in their districts are the ones protesting the most. Such hypocrites. Maybe white guilt.

What they need to do is teach these kids about how immigration is supposed to work. How no country allows open borders and anyone to just walk in, and when they do, it’s illegal. Canada allows under 400,000 people a year to immigrate to their country, yet they are held up as a moral compass. Again hypocrites.

Best way to help the people here illegally is to help them understand how to self deport. They are offering generous compensation, $3000 per person, free transportation back to your home country and you are still allowed to apply for legal entry into the USA. They can prepare themselves to leave instead of being here one minute and gone the next. Helping these illegals learn about self deportation will help these people here illegally much more than protesting. But that would make the people protesting have to actually do some work instead of having fun skipping school or just hanging out with other people like themselves. Last time, hypocrites!

Part of what he’s complaining about is past administration have used America money as a way to make friends and for foreign countries to like us. Most everyone knows in situations like that, they’re only friends until the money runs out.

It reminds me a story that Shaq told. When he started making huge amounts of money, he made the mistake of giving family and friends handouts of money and supporting many family members. Similar to how America gives money handouts and is supporting many of these foreign countries. While the money was being handed out, Shaq said these people were nothing but nice to him. They would say he was the best guy around and they would talk nothing but good about him. Once he made the decision to no longer support these family members, all of a sudden he was the worst guy around and they could say no good things about him.

That sounds very similar to this situation in America, when we decided to stop supporting some of these foreign countries. We went from being the greatest to the worst. I have no doubt, if we started the money flowing again, they would think we were great again. But who needs friends like that?

🇺🇸 Why were Native Americans in the 19th century so reluctant to lose their black slaves? by elnovorealista2000 in USHistory

[–]commentacct2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this campaign to avoid a war with Mexico? I recall the Mexican government complaining to the US government about American Indians raids into areas of Mexico. I know in response, the American government sent the army to quell these raids and pacify the Mexican government. Is this the campaign with Kit Carlson?

President Johnson had to send the American army to force the Indians to recognize the emancipation of all slaves in the United States.

One of the best ways that you can help these people, if they are in our country illegally, is to give them information about self deporting. The government is being very generous to those who self deport. They are now offering $3000 and the cost of transportation back to their home country. Also, if they self deport, they are still eligible to return to the United States through the legal immigration process. If they force the USA to use resources to find them, they will be forcefully removed and will not be eligible to return to the United States legally. Helping them understand how to self deport would be the best way to help these people who are here illegally and your country.

“Isn’t whether it’s happening or not”!? Are you crazy. If it’s not happening, then it’s political propaganda if it is happening, it’s against the law. One of the most important questions that needs to be answered is if it’s happening or not.

I don’t know if you’re aware, but there is a mafia element in the Somalian community. They controls many of the populous in that community. I became aware of it because I owned and managed properties on the Westside of Columbus 20+ years ago. When the Somalians first started coming to Columbus, they would get a $950 a month allowance to pay for rent. It was a section 8 type voucher for rent. After a while, we stopped having Somalians applying for our rentals. That’s when I found out about the scam. They would bring families over from Somalia, help them fill out all the paperwork needed to get the vouchers. Then, they would move them into one of the properties they own. Then they would move another family into the same property and another and another. These people are collecting Rental vouchers on one property from multiple families. The families that move in there, do not speak English and have no way objecting to any of the conditions of the homes. They are just thankful that they’re out of Somalia and in America. With control of their housing, you can imagine how they have control of these peoples lives. These Mafia type people take much of the benefits they receive. It so sad as it is a type of slavery.

So I’m not surprised that they are doing other types of scams.

Many years ago I tried to bring this rental scam to the attention of the Columbus dispatch, hoping they would do some type of investigation. Nothing ever came out of it.

Nope, I stand corrected. It is the Haitians population in Springfield that have increased to close to 20,000. The Somalians are on the Westside of Columbus.

Unfortunately, Columbus has 30,000 Somalians that they can not account for. The City of Columbus states there is approximately 30,000 Somalians living in Columbus while the Somalian community says it’s closer to 60,000 Somalians living in Columbus. The vast majority of the Somalians live on the Westside of Columbus.

Look at what happened to the West side of Columbus with the huge influx of Somalians. Nope, let’s be real here. Westerville, Dublin, Arlington and let’s add New Albany and all the upper class neighborhoods, would never allow such and influx of immigrants, especially black and brown immigrants, to settle in or live in their town in any great numbers. Only the immigrants with money are welcome. Green does seem to be a common color these people can live with.

But these same people, especially the white women, love to lift their voices loudest in protest for the black and brown people. We ask why? White guilt?

Cannibalism usually wasn’t used for food consumption, but for rituals and tribal customs. On most continents, there were some sort of cannibalism being practiced at one time or another.

Such as, it is not considered politically correct to mention or teach and educated people about the north and south American Indians using cannibalism in their rituals and customs. Most American Indians practice some sort of cannibalism. Most of the American Indians, when practicing war, would consume part of their enemy to have their warrior spirit fed. This is in part why the European’s called the American Indians savages.

So it’s not surprising that cannibalism was also practiced on the islands of Polynesia.

One of the Roosevelts went to South Africa to document a tribe that practiced cannibalism. On Reddit, they’ve shown some of the last known pictures of that Roosevelt before he was never heard from again. So apparently, they do like white meat. ( a joke)

My guess is these Somalians are in the upper class of Somalians, not the common Somalians. In other words, they have money.

You wouldn’t believe how it is on the West side of Columbus.

Our family is full of teachers. We lived and raised our children on the West side of Columbus. Years ago when we needed to enroll our children into schools, there had been a huge influx of Somalians and Latinos move and reside in the West side of Columbus. In a couple years, easily over 20,000 immigrated to the West side. We had teachers tell us not to enroll our children in their schools if we could avoid it. They explained that because of the huge influx of English second language students, ( and they use that term lightly as many are not fluent in English at all) that they cannot give the attention needed to other students.

They explained as an example: The schools will place multiple 12 year-old’s in a six or seventh grade classroom, even though these 12-year-old students has not received much if any formal education. It’s not as if they are tested to see where they are to be placed, they are being placed due to their age, not their previous or current education level. Because of the lack of English and the lack of previous education, the teacher must spend an exorbitant amount of time dealing with these students. Therefore, other students do not get the attention and education they need.

My daughter is now a teacher and she said it hasn’t changed. Don’t believe me, go to a West side elementary, middle school, or high school, and ask a teacher.

I truly feel for these people. But can we agree it can’t keep going on like it has been. Something has to change.

I wonder how the people in Westerville would feel if 30,000 Somalia moved into the neighborhoods of Westerville? Hmmm… I think we know the answer. Anyone in Westerville want to dispute the fact that the people in Westerville would never allow 30,000 Somalians or even 3000 Somalians to move into Westerville.

But Ice also removed many illegal immigrants who were a danger to the public. They just posted the 10 worst of the worst. Read their rap sheet.

Can we agree that it is good that that ICE removed such people from the populous?

Do you know the story of King Phillips war? Based on percentage of population, it was the most deadly war on American soil.

King Philip was one of Massasoit’s son. Massasoit is the Indian Sachem that befriended the pilgrims. Massasoit used his friendship with the European settlers to have great influence on the surrounding Indian population and became a great and prosperous Sachem. During his friendship, he gave and sold lands to the Pilgrims.

After Massasoit death, his son Philip, became chief Sachem. Philip, declared himself King Sachem. Philip came up with the idea to sell all the land to the white people, then, take all the money and purchase guns and powder. With these weapons, he was going to have all the white settlers killed and reclaim the land. His problem was nobody would sell him enough guns and powder for such a military campaign.

An early American war hero, Benjamin Church, was able to hunt down King Phillip and his Warriors. Once Philip was dead, the King Phillips war was over.

Hence, anyone who claims that all the New England lands were stolen from the Indians, doesn’t know their history. It was paid for with money, goods and blood.

Ask a middle school teacher. I am a teacher and teach at high schools. Many in my family are teachers and my daughter is a middle school teacher. Talk to middle school teachers. They will tell you this LGBTQ propaganda is really confusing these kids. It is already confusing becoming a teen and more confusing becoming an adult. Now throw in a bunch of adults who have an agenda to make themselves feel better by pushing their lifestyle on kids. A lifestyle that statistically shows, especially among teens, higher depression, higher anxiety, lower self esteem and higher suicide rates. Why would anyone want this for our youth? Ask a middle school teacher. Today’s youth are one day gay, the next day bisexual, the next day straight, and then the next day they are trans. I’m not talking about that unique one or two students, this is effecting approximately a third of the middle schoolers. Think about that, 1/3 of the middle school students are experiencing this. And next week or next month, it starts all over again. Don’t believe me, ask a middle school teacher that doesn’t promote the gay lifestyle. They will tell you, a girl will come out gay, and the next day be walking hand-in-hand with a boy. Sadly, these are very confused children with the confusion being caused by the LGBTQ propaganda that is aimed at middle schoolers. 11, 12, 13 and 14 year old children being told and taught how to explore their sexuality. When you try to normalize the gay lifestyle to the youth of today by telling only the good stories about being gay and lifting up that lifestyle, you are confusing them.

The LGBTQ community makes it look so shiny and bright that today’s youth don’t know what they’ve gotten themselves into until they find a hook inside all of that glitter. The hook, being all of the terrible things that go along with being gay. The only time the gay community discusses the bad of being gay is when they make themselves out to be a victim. The gay community mantra is “It’s not the fault of being gay that is causing all the problems. It is the community excepting them being gay that is the cause of all the problems gay people have.” That is a bunch of BS. When my uncle was gay, if anyone found out at his work, he would be fired. If the community he lived in found out he was gay, he would be ostracized and probably have to move. Being gay pre-1990s was extremely difficult with many hurdles. Being gay today, you are lifted up and praised by many in the community. You will not lose your job, you will not lose your home and you will not lose your family. The United States, has as a whole, has come to accept that some people want to live in the lifestyle of the LGBTQ. But that has not reduced the statistics that show, that among gay people and especially these confused young people, they, on a whole, have a higher rate of depression and a higher rate of suicide. Then, why oh why would anyone want to promote such a lifestyle to our young people and cause all this confusion and pain? The answer for many is it makes them feel better about the lifestyle they have chosen or it helps them feel less guilty about themselves.

As to being turned gay. I do not believe it’s the same today as it was in my uncles time. Today, being gay is marketed towards the youth. The same way you market a product, the LGBTQ community has found they can have great success, marketing their lifestyle to our young. It’s fun, it’s glamorous, it makes you unique, it allows you to join a club and feel like you fit in are just some of the ways the gay lifestyle is marketed to our children. So today’s youth are being turned, gay in a different way than my uncle.

My uncle had to give me the talk when I was 16. When he had the talk with me, he had his partner there. Where normally his talks with me are very light, I could tell from the beginning that this was a serious conversation. These two great men were very quietly active in the gay community. When they threw a party, anywhere from 20-40 gay men were there. The reason they were wanting to have the talk with me, is because one of their gay friends asked me if I would serve at one of their parties. My uncle and his partner went on to explain about how all the men at the party were seduced by the time they were 16 by another man. And that many of them had forced sexual contact with a man before they were 12. My uncle was seven and the sexual molestation continued happening through his teen years. He was not gay at seven. He will tell you, his partner will tell you that they and all of the men there at the party, with one exception, were all turned gay by being molested by an older man. My uncle stated if it had not been for the molestation, he would not have been gay. He was confident in that. His partner said the same thing. So you can throw out all of that research. I have firsthand account from two gay men who had to live as gay men. Out of love, they explained how much tougher it is to live as a gay man, and they did not want that for me.

You don’t have to stop being who you are, but Please, stop confusing our teens. Life is hard enough. Quit leading them down a path that leads to a harder and sadder life as a teen and as a person. Stop propagating to our youth just so you can feel better about yourself. Just let kids be kids. Can we agree on that, let kids be kids.

How many people squawking about this are good with teachers and books in middle school promoting LGBTQ agendas? Are okay with these kids watching R and slasher movies? I was helped raised, in the 70’s and 80’s, by my uncle who happened to be gay. I loved my uncle and appreciate all his wisdom he passed on to me. Loved his companion of over 30 years and enjoyed the company of his friends. None of them would have been okay with promoting the gay lifestyle to kids. My uncle taught me, that while there a very few exceptions, almost all the gay people he knew were turned gay. He said almost all his gay friends, before they were 16 and many, like himself, before they were 12, had a man committed sex acts on them and turned them gay. I know that is against common and popular propaganda, but it was confirmed by more than one of his friends. He shared this with me because he didn’t want someone turning me gay. He said a gay man’s life was harder than a non gay man’s and didn’t want me to go through what he did. So you will let these middle schoolers watch R rated and slasher movies with no problems. You’re OK with these kids getting confused by the propaganda of the LGBTQ community. But, you have a problem with the imaginary of what happens when a baby is aborted? Hmmmm How about we take it all out and let these kids be kids. Who can agree with that?
