Great to see that 68% of Massachusetts voted for senile idiot Markey - they deserve him.

Exactly. There are books about how as a young girl one of the main accusing girls from the witch trials had seen her father and mother brutally murdered with hatchets by Indians in Maine while she hid under the bed at the age of 5. It is thought this is why the accusations were later made by her and other girls. They believed the devil was about because of the fear from seeing Indian atrocities. 9 of the afflicted girls had witnessed Indian atrocities in their youth.

Markey’s opponent in the recent election was the latest Kennedy to run. It was said half in jest

In other words, Markley is mad that the US government treated the treaties we signed with the Indian tribes as living, breathing documents that we can reinterpret any way we want whenever we want and took their property, which is exactly what he and his treasonous partners in crime in the Democrat party want to do to us.

“The Boston Globe called for a “reframing” of the Thanksgiving “narrative” on Wednesday, describing Native American “struggles” as rooted in “environmental devastation” and “police brutality.” Native Americans survived a “genocide,” according to the Boston Globe, which further advocates left-wing historical revisionism to be applied to primary school curriculum.”

This rag is slipping. The Globe failed to bring in the gender confusion brought on among the Indians by the arrival of the Pilgrims.

What a moron.

He should find out what really happened in his own state.

The plague that swept across The Americas was happening before the Pilgrims set sail. That is why the Indians wanted them as allies—everyone’s tribe had been wiped out already. They were weak.

“Why doesn’t any of these asshats ever talk about how brutal and savage Native Americans were among themselves?”

Because they are a bunch of virtue-signalling whites who hate themselves for the invention of wheels and ships and modern industry?

The REAL history of North America before 1620 was one of continuous war and slave taking. Kill other trives of be killed. But that doesn’t fit the “Whites Evil” narrative.

Steve Bannon’s War Room had a Thanksgiving special today. Our own Larry Schweikart gave a very good talk on Thanksgiving and what it really means:

An old friend of mine, was born in West Virginia, coal mining territory.

As soon as he could, at a very young age, he began to work in the mine, because he simply wanted to be with, and follow his father.

What he knew of life, was the world around where he lived, and the people.

The harshness of his life and world, was normal, it was life.

The young lad was smart, learned what he could, and also somehow advanced to a point, that when WW-II came along, he made his way to the US Marine Corps training center on the east coast.

In the Marines, he learned aviation. After the war, that led him to Columbus, OH, where a lot of aircraft were built - North American plant.

I came to know him years later, in his retirement. He is a Christian, a very wise old man, and a real funny guy.

He worked in the lobby of a building downtown. Sometimes, he would begin to sing some song, some Christian -type of tune. His voice, though he kept the volume down, was magic.

Something in the music of his voice, just penetrated everything as if an unstoppable light that no wall could frustrate. I had never before encountered such a thing.

One day, in the summertime, he and I were standing in the open doorway of the building, along the sidewalk, and a car came along, filled with four guys - tough guys - culturally sure of themselves.

Suddenly, my friend stepped a bit further out onto the sidewalk, and as the car went by, this old gent yelled out:

“GET A JOB!”

That old guy had spotted them coming from a distance, observed their way, as it were, and as if coordinated by God, stepped out to, let’s say, give some guidance from providence.

It was a wonderful thing.

Most of the atrocities by far were committed against settlers from northwestern Europe.

Actually the true history of Thanksgiving was a feast eaten with the local Indians to give tha KS to God for their bounty and survival.

This idiot has never given thanks to God in his life for anything, nor studied history. I tend to not listen to Godless heathens teach what they do not know, or to take business advice from homeless meth heads.
