Cedric was just wetting his beak. Compared to the Big Guy’s 10%, he is a bargain.

Snip: A former chairperson of the Massachusetts tribe whose ancestors aided the Pilgrims

So what is the most important lesson that we have learned from those who believe in open borders?

Is it not that those who open their borders to potentially unlimited immigration invite in those who will overpower them, subdue them and rule over them?

I'm not complaining about the colonization of America by northern Europeans.

God has certainly blessed the world through America, until America rejected God. Know God, know peace. No God, no peace.

Guess Cedric’s tribe isn’t sovereign enough.

A former chairperson of the Massachusetts tribe whose ancestors aided the Pilgrims goes on trial Tuesday for bribery, extortion and other federal charges related to the tribe’s planned casino project.

Checkmate?

Sounds like the history goes way back to one of those "old Indian" words:

checkmate (n.)

mid-14c., in chess, said of a king when it is in check and cannot escape it, from Old French eschec mat (Modern French échec et mat), which (with Spanish jaque y mate, Italian scacco-matto) is from Arabic shah mat "the king died" (see check (n.1)), which according to Barnhart is a misinterpretation of Persian mat "be astonished" as mata "to die," mat "he is dead." Hence Persian shah mat, if it is the ultimate source of the word, would be literally "the king is left helpless, the king is stumped."

Someone very close to me worked for them years ago. I can’t get into specifics but can say they are corrupt from top to bottom.

All the Indians in New England are trying to start casinos. Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun are the two biggest casinos in New England. Both diversified.

Is Cedric Cromwell also related to Oliver Cromwell, one of the greatest Britons of all time as voted by English people in 2002?

I remember reading an article a long time ago (1970s, I think) about the Mashpee Indians and their efforts to be officially recognized by the federal government. I think part of the problem was that they all had some African ancestry so the government’s position was that they were just a bunch of black people trying to get the benefits of being recognized as Indian.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

The Cape Cod-based tribe’s casino plan has faced years of legal setbacks, but it got a boost in December when President Joe Biden’s administration affirmed the tribe’s sovereign reservation. [/snip]
