Trump appeared to joke that the new name could be in honor of him. “We call it ‘Trump Ocean’ or ‘Ocean of the Americas,’ something like that,” Trump said as the crowd laughed and applauded. “Before I get out, I think we should have an ocean. And we need a great river.”

I am becoming increasingly disappointed with the bongino report. I like Dan, he means well, but his web page is quickly deteriorating. Case in point, over the weekend a link to a new “poll” showing the GOP leading most of the senate races. So I click on it, and its not a link to a polling firm, but to an X page where someone pointed out that if you follow just the co/efficient polls, done over the course of the last couple of months, that the GOP would hold the senate. But some of these polls are stale and no longer relevant.
But its very sloppy journalism and I can see where its headed. If we get clobbered in the house and lose or only barely hold the senate, sites like Bongino will cry about fraud, etc., because of the expectations they built up by posting misleading headlines.

Fascinating watching the Florida numbers on returned ballots. Of course Dems requested more ballots than the GOP, but so far the GOP is slightly ahead in terms of out-performing the 2024 numbers at this time. The group that is off is the “No Party Affiliation.” This could be important because if the narrative is true that independents are eager to show up and vote against the GOP, they aren’t seemingly too eager in Florida.

After reading “The Iron Broom” it is crystal clear how DEI hiring practices are based in communist ideology. When the commies took over, people of skill who make a larger wage were either offed or sent to a gulag or demoted, or whatever, to be replaced by incompetent people whose only qualification was loyalty to the Communist Party, and willingness to oppress others under his command.
So it didn’t matter at all to the gov’t how many people suffered due to the incompetence everywhere, as only compliance and enforcement mattered.
Same with DEI, don’t hire based on merit, but on checking some other box, causing the consumer or customer to suffer under the incompetence. DEI is just a foreshadow of what is to come if the commies take control of the USA.

A lack formwr slave rememvrrs the Civil War.
“De Yankees come. First thing they look for was money. They put a pistol right in my forehead and say: ‘I got to have your money, where is it?’” That is what Lewis Evans, a black man interviewed near Winnsboro, South Carolina said the Yankees invaders did to him when they arrived at his home.He was about 96 years old when interviewed in 1937, living in a two-room house and had been born enslaved around 1841.
When the Yankee bluecoats reached his place, the men were gone and the only people left behind were women, children, and the enslaved. Evans had no money to give them. A girl named Caroline did. They took it.Then the Yankees stripped the place. They took the geese, the chickens, and everything else worth carrying. They cleaned out the smokehouse, emptied the corn crib, and drove the cattle out of the pasture. What they could not haul they burned: the gin-house and the cotton. On the way out the Yankees shot cows and hogs and left the carcasses in the yard. Evans said the smell hung there for weeks.
Life did not improve with this new “Freedom”. He married Mary Douglas, and a Yankee took a fancy to her and carried her off. She was gone a long time. By the time she came back he had married again.
What was done to Evans was the ordinary work of that invading Union army across the South in 1865, and the hardship fell on white and Black alike. With the men off fighting, Yankee soldiers pushed into houses where women and children remained, cursed, and demanded money, silver, jewels, and whiskey. Plenty of those “Yankee” men were foreign-born, only a short time off the boat, marching around southern America plundering multi-generational Americans. If they could not carry something away with them, they would often ruin it: family portraits, beds, tables, dressers, pianos, books, etc.
Then they usually took the meat and the corn, the food for both white and black families, and left everybody starving for the rest of the year and beyond.
Fannie Griffin, a black woman of Columbia called the day the Yankees came the worst time she ever had. Rosa Starke said they left a thousand people cold and hungry. For a great many Black Southerners, the worst day was not the day they were born in slavery. It was the day the Union army arrived.

There is no doubt there was much suffering of the population in the South during and after the war.
But the South wanted the war, started the war, and chose to fight and pursue the war mostly on its own territory. Those that led the South into this war and supported it bear the consequences.
And the “I would rather be a slave than be freed by the Yankees” sounds like Wes’ “slavery was bad BUT”.
A lot of apologists for the South like to say blacks were better off under slavery because they were housed and fed while as free men many struggled to survive.
Considering the number of slaves who tried to escape (and did escape) I don’t find this is a convincing argument.

Slavery was a bad institutuion in the U.S. from 1619 to 1865. I do not dispute that.
I made and agree with that statement.
The Cherokee Indians owning 600 hundred Black slaves as late as 1865 was a bad thing.
Slavery is a bad thing today in various parts of the world.
Slavery was a bad thing in ancient civilizations.
I believe nobody should be a slave of another.

“HERE YE, HERE YE…Be it fully understood and accepted by all, that the U.S. Reeducation Authorities and Determiners of Truth have decreed and ordered that from now to eternity everyone MUST BELIEVE the following (and if a Yonex shall dare to share any info to the contrary then they must be vociferously attacked and preferably boiled in oil):
“There was no harm done to any free Blacks nor any Black slaves in the south as a result of Union troop actions–military or otherwise–during the Civil War. As soon as Northern troops arrived a magic wand was waved and all Blacks magically lived in a Nirvana of unbelievable peace and prosperity.”
“No Blacks–free or slave–were killed, lost their lives, mistreated, stolen from, abused, disadvantaged, taken advantage of, beaten, threatened, or harmed in any way or suffered any physical, mental, or psychological hardship at the hands of the Union soldiers during the Civil war or as a result of their military actions.”
“Just like there were no Blacks who were slave owners in the south, no free Blacks in the south who supported the south during the Civil war, not even ONE free Black who voluntarily joined and served in the Confederate army and who were captured by union troops, put in prison and kept there because he would not take a loyalty oath to the Union and was bailed out of northern jail by a white southern slave owner.”
Got it.
[Below the *****, NONE of the above is true, but I GOT it. Let us erase any and all inconvenient facts that dispute any of the above.]
“And PLEASE let us ALL remember that, despite factual records that prove otherwise, 100% of every white person in the south supported slavery, 100% owned slaves, 100% beat all their slaves every Tuesday just because, 100% supported the confederacy and did NOT take up arms against the confederacy, and 0% of whites in the south did anything to help slaves in any way. And 0% of white slaves owners made legal provisions to free their slaves upon their death. Any and all historical data that proves or suggests otherwise will be burned or otherwise destroyed and never spoken of.”
“Nor were there any men in the south who left the south to go north and join the Union army to fight against the south, and it is a lie to say there were pockets of the south that took up arms and remained loyal to the union throughout the ENTIRE Civil war and were never controlled militarily by the Confederacy. Nor were there any whites in the north thst were opposed to fighting the southern states, nor were there any whites in the north that were racists back before 1865.”
“And the world would be a better place if we had just killed off all whites, whether they owned slaves or not, in the south in 1865 once the North won the Civil War.”
And the Civil War was all about slavery.
“And the two sides were definitely: states where slavery was legal vs. states where slavery was illegal (please ignore the slave states who joined the northern side in the war and procided troops, and please ignore WV being admitted to the union as a state and being permitted to have slavery as a new union state).”
Got it.

And some people talk about revisionist history…and talk about how some on one side ot some in power in some countries want to erase historical truths because it does not fit the “official” party line, and the need for reeducation camps to reprogram everyone who “fails to parrot the official line”…places like North Korea.
