It came over with the Mayflower and stayed on to be the unchallenged drink of democracy. by Max Rudin Related Stories: When the micros got macro 10 Great American beers (below) In the history of American beer, the modern period begins on the spring day in 1882 when the short-lived American Association of baseball teams opened for business. The establishment-leaning National League, aiming for a tonier clientele, had recently doubled ticket prices and banned gambling, Sunday playing, and—most important—beer. Franchise owners in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and other brewing centers refused to accept the new rules and seceded from...

A famed Black Panther who's also a communist has faced calls to pay reparations after discovering her ancestors were white puritans who arrived in the US on the Mayflower. Angela Davis, 79, was flabbergasted to discover both sides of her family were white, and that her mom's ancestors were slave-owners on PBS show Finding Your Roots. And the stunning revelations sparked calls for the famously woke Marxist University of California professor to herself pay reparations, having previously called on whites to pony-up in the past.

On this date in 1630, Massachusetts’ Plymouth Colony held its first hanging — of a guy who’d come over on the Mayflower. John Billington‘s John Hancock is on the Mayflower Compact, but he and his progeny had an ill reputation from the start. Billington’s son almost torched the Mayflower while the pilgrims were still living in it; the old man himself achieved the distinction of “the first offence since our arrival … for his contempt of the captain’s lawful command with opprobrious speeches, for which he is adjudged to have his neck and heels tied together; but upon humbling himself...

You’re crammed in a room, shoulder-to-shoulder with 100 other passengers. It’s dark. It smells. It’s wet and very cold. There’s no privacy. No bathrooms. Your meals are pitiful — salted meat and a hard, dry biscuit. You, and people around you are sick, because the room is rocking side to side. There’s no fresh water and no change of clean clothes. In essence, you‘re trapped because land is thousands of miles away.

On September 16 of 1620, the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth, England with 102 souls on board. These colonists- men, women, children, some seeking fortune, some seeking religious freedom – were to be later known as pilgrims. This day commemorates the day the Mayflower set sail for the New World. At the time, William Bradford, the separatist leader whose journal is often referenced for Mayflower history, recorded dates according to the Julian calendar. At that point in history, both the Julian and the Gregorian (the calendar most often used today) were both in use. There is a 10-day difference between...

Angela Davis, one of the most infamous radicals of the 1960’s, made her entire career trashing America, while reaping all of its benefits. So, what happens when a professional agitator like Davis discovers that her ancestors arrived on the Mayflower? Does her white heritage make her a a white supremacist oppressor? Now, as Davis embraces Critical Race Theory, Mark gives us a primer on Davis and the turbulent 60’s, the Black Panthers, and the unrest that threatened to destroy America.

Thursday, if you eat a nice meal, thank the Pilgrims. They made Thanksgiving possible. They left the Old World to escape religious persecution. They imagined a new society where everyone worked together and shared everything. In other words, they dreamed of socialism. Socialism then almost killed them. As I explain in my weekly video, the Pilgrims attempted collective farming. The whole community decided when and how much to plant, when to harvest and who would do the work.Gov. William Bradford wrote in his diary that he thought that taking away property and bringing it into a commonwealth would make the...

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Mouse on the Mayflower for my granddaughter? It's an animated politically INcorrect cartoon with Tennessee Ernie Ford voicing one of the characters/narrating.

The robotic boat reached Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Sunday following a ride across the Atlantic Ocean from England that lasted more than five weeks, according to IBM, which built the artificial intelligence captain that makes all the ship’s decision. The Mayflower Autonomous Ship did not have a captain, navigator or any other people aboard. The ship's first attempt to cross the Atlantic...
