Re slavery, I learned something today during a presentation at Colonial Williamsburg. I only caught part of the story as we were just resting under the giant oak for a bit. Anyway, during the pre Revolutionary times slaves could buy their freedom if they could afford to. They still needed permission from the Colonial Governor and pay a "Freedom Tax". The tax was good for 6 years and the rate increased incrementally every time. If they couldn't afford the tax, back into bondage.

Interesting that part of history never came up when we were taught in high school 50 years ago. I doubt that it comes up today.

In the red hat version, slaves were freed by their benevolent masters but they stayed on at their plantations without pay because they loved their masters so.

One of my favorite lines from the story

Quote

The former president has complained that some of the emails from his team are “cheesy” and that they are annoying his supporters, in the words of one adviser, who, like others quoted in this report, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. At one point, Trump told his team to slim down the emails, but he was then advised that would cost his PAC money, which he did not want, another adviser said.

Michigan Republican Party Secretary of State candidate Kristina Karamo for SOS believes that demonic possession is real and that relationships with people who are themselves possessed can lead to demonic possession. Folks, this is the Republican Party of 2022.

Hear the full audio for yourself in the tweet above.

Doug Mastriano’s Election-Takeover Plan

 

Your must-read today. Amanda Carpenter writes that Stop the Steal is only a pretense for seizing control.

[GOP gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano’s] platform includes the following:

  • loosening restrictions on poll watchers to make it easier to challenge votes;

  • repealing vote-by-mail laws;

  • appointing a fellow 2020 election-denier to be secretary of state who could enable him to decertify every voting machine “with a stroke of a pen”;

  • forcing all Pennsylvania voters to re-register; and

  • defunding the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

If a Democrat had proposed this our resident TrumpBot would be up in arms. instead he's probably speechless.

Interesting that all I learned about George "Washington" Carver is that he invented Peanut Butter (which is only partially true).   He was and is one of the most most important and influential botanical scientists in our history, but nah, that part got skipped over.   

I see what you did there.
