Omar Ibn Said was 37 years old when he was taken from his West African home and transported to Charleston, South Carolina, as a slave in the 1800s. Now, his one-of-a-kind autobiographical manuscript has been translated from its original Arabic and housed at the Library of Congress, where it “annihilates” the conventional narrative of African slaves as uneducated and uncultured. Amna Nawaz reports.

Here’s a Country Followed Trump and Solved Their Immigration Problems, Now If Dems Would Just Pay Attention! Could Europe be witnessing a MIGA (Make Italy Great Again) moment under the nationalist policies of Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini? According to Fox News, Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who has led the charge in pushing back against Italy accepting migrants coming across the Mediterranean from Libya and has all but closed the ports to the boats, hailed the numbers as a success. “The data deny those who say that the Democratic Party had blocked the...

While many have began criticizing the dead former Confederate leader, in 1975 the Senate, which included freshman Democratic Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, unanimously approved the reinstatement of General Robert E. Lee’s citizenship to the U.S. ***** Lee died in 1870 without citizenship. Independent Virginia Sen. Harry F. Byrd spearheaded the push for reinstating Lee’s citizenship posthumously, and it passed through both chambers after the House, voting 407 to 10 in favor of the reinstatement on July 23, 1975.

Credit to Rush Limbaugh who gave me the inspiration to write this. This was inspired by his invaluable writings in his Rush Revere series of children's books . Please enjoy. A parable is a succinct, didactic story, in prose or verse that illustrates one or more instructive lessons or principles. It differs from a fable in that fables employ animals, plants, inanimate objects, or forces of nature as characters, whereas parables have human characters. A parable is a type of analogy.< -Wikipedia This is the story about Moma and her amazing soup. You see, while everyone else was making chicken...

I predict the Democrats will worry too much about the various Social Justice orthodoxies to pose a serious threat to Donald Trump So, Joe Biden has announced that he’s running for POTUS for the third or fourth time over the past 5 decades and the polls have him leading in the quest for the nomination. Are the Democrats nuts? There’s one faction in the Democrat Party that’s very small and very loud and seemingly wants to return us to those halcyon days of the pre-internal combustion engine age with their silly Green New Deal. They promise to tax the livin’...

Thank You, Guillermo for warning us what is lying in wait for us if we vote Socialist-Democrat in 2020 No truer words have recently come my way than those in an email letter sent by Cuban ‘Guillermo’ today: “Looking at the next POTUS election is like a dream come true for the KGB. They have finally fixed all the details for our demise, after decades of propaganda.” The irony in Guillermo’s intuitive thoughts is impossible to miss. While roughly 90 percent of the mainstream and social media spent the last two and a half years on a wild goose chase...

Fearful that today's modern lifestyle places too much burden on the Earth's environment, Mayor Bill deBlasio is spearheading what he terms an aggressive "advance to the past" policy. The approach is two-pronged. Key areas for reform are to include housing and diet. On the housing front, the Mayor pledges to ban high-rise buildings. "Skyscrapers are inefficient and contribute to global warming," he asserted. "If we look at the cost per square foot they are much more expensive than single-story buildings. So, clearly we need to go back to living closer to the ground." "As an initial step, we will be...

The Hill’s John Solomon has uncovered new information which provides one more indication that much of the conspiracy to take down President Trump originated from the Obama White House. Solomon reported that, in January 2016, the White House summoned Ukrainian authorities to Washington under the pretense of coordinating their nation’s ongoing anti-corruption efforts. (At this time, DNC consultant Ukrainian-American Alexandria Chalupa was warning Democrats that Trump was likely to tap Paul Manafort to run his campaign. I wrote about this here and here.) Solomon wrote: The January 2016 gathering, confirmed by multiple participants and contemporaneous memos, brought some of Ukraine’s...

VIDEO I got my cast iron skillets over two months ago and I have grown to love them. However, my wife absolutely HATES the cast iron skillets. In this video I explain why.

Are we asking for it? Granted we weren't here first like the Afrikaners in Africa but outsiders move in and then start to take over. Mexicans did it to Mexico. My classic example is Fiji where servants of the Crown from India outnumbered the local islanders. Democracy right? So an ethnic Polynesian General with a soccer star background staged a military coup. The UN condemned it including the U.S. If Puerto Rico had no welfare would they violently demand independence. I remember bombs going off over that one.

Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends) I’m old enough to remember when the fake news media treated the Fake Trump Dossier as if it were the holy grail. – And yet, by the end of this week just past, old Watergate fossil Bob Woodward had joined the New York Times, Michael Isikoff and other media luminaries in an obvious coordinated effort to start covering their butts as the thing begins to unravel: Bob Woodward: Steele dossier appeared in draft of US intel assessment on Russian meddling https://washex.am/2UNcZu1 Bob Woodward Bob Woodward: Steele dossier appeared in draft...

Over a hundred years ago Einstein presented his theory of relativity which paved the way for his theory of black holes. It remained just that, a theory, for a century until it was “proved” more or less by a photo last month.And yet, get a gaggle of second rate “climatologists” together to come up with the theory that the earth is melting because we heat our homes in order to prevent freezing to death during the cold season and “97% of (published climate) scientists” immediately subscribe to the goofy theory of “man-caused” global warming. And call you a science denier...

I have a little bit of everything in this report. Too little time, but so much to say. A little tidbit of information I find interesting is what is in the McClatchey Report – Quote – Mueller says Michael Cohen was not in Prague in 2016, BUT WHAT ABOUT HIS PHONE? The Mueller report states Cohen was not in Prague: “Cohen had never traveled to Prague and was not concerned about those allegations, which he believed were provably false,” the report says on page 139. That statement is part of a review of Cohen’s testimony to the investigators and is...

The Campaign Update Week in Review (Because The Campaign Never Ends) [The week just past as chronicled on the @GDBlackmon Twitter feed.] The week began with the fake news media harassing its former hero, Robert Mueller, as he exited from church on Easter Sunday. The news-faking only got faker from there.:

Music Links..... SOS-ABBA WE DONT TALK ANYMORE-CLIFF RICHARD WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE-THE KINGSTON TRIO Welcome aboard, its Saturday night again and my mood in the music watching things move on by concerned about the pathways of people I have supported and admired in the past. Nigel Farage is disdaining the party he once led, UKIP, and he's getting great mainstream media coverage. Farage talks about being against "The Establishment" on Brexit, campaigning in an election campaign that Prime Minister Theresa May and Leader of the Opposition Jeremy Corbyn can put he kibosh on if they cut a new...

Trump Trolls Dems: “If I’m Guilty Of Anything…” Trump corrects the MSM about the Mueller Report in the best way. The media and Dems try to claim that the report is incriminating and may even lead to Trump's impeachment. But Trump handled them like a pro. When asked about McGahn he had the following to say about the report and McGahn's testimony. "I never told McGahn to fire Mueller. If I wanted to fire Mueller I would have done it myself, very simple. I have the right to and frankly whether I did or he did we have the absolute...

Classic from Depeche Mode. Enjoy.

Beto O’Rourke shows us how callous he is when it comes to the lives of babies.
