George Washington sought honest British workers over 'slovenly' Americans

LONDON (Reuters) - George Washington, the first president of the United States, praised the honesty of British farmers and sought to entice some to his estates because local tenants were so “slovenly”, according to a handwritten letter he wrote in 1796.

In a three-page letter to the Earl of Buchan, Washington asks the Scottish nobleman if he knew of any “honest and orderly” farmers who would like to emigrate to the United States to work on his land.

“My sole object is, if there are persons on the move, who may incline to associate and become tenants on such a plan as I offer, that being apprised of the measure, they may decide how far their views would be accommodated by it,” Washington wrote.

“Nor would I wish to do it with the slovenly farmers of this country, if I had a well founded hope of obtaining this class of Men from any other (particularly from Great Britain) where husbandry is well understood, and the language similar.”

The letter was unveiled by the University of Edinburgh. It was donated to the university by Scottish polymath and antiquarian David Lang in the 1870s.

Congress better start an investigation of Washington for undue British influence and then impeach him.

I’m guessing Iowa has a relatively low black population.

As hypocritical as the limousine liberals who preach to us about global warming.

I went to the Portland Auto Show on Saturday and afterwards stopped by Powell's Books to browse. The ACLU had set up a table outside and I believe was collecting signatures. A lady yells at me to come here and when I shake my head she screams that "OUR CONSTITUTION IS UNDER ATTACK, DON'T YOU WANT TO SAVE THE CONSTITUTION?" I think that overall the ACLU is a great institution and they're on the right side of history the majority of the time but I wasn't sure engaging here was a good idea. I don't think Trump gives a sh!t about the constitution but left doesn't either as attacks on the Electoral College, Senate and 2nd Amendment show. A good rational debate was unlikely, so I got the heck out of there.

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh sentenced to 3 years for ‘Healthy Holly’ children’s book fraud scheme

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh, who held elected offices in Baltimore for two decades and was elevated by voters to lead the city after the upheaval of 2015, was sentenced to three years in federal prison Thursday for a fraud scheme involving a children’s book series.

U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow described Pugh’s crimes as “astounding” and said she took advantage of a career spent doing good works to mislead organizations who purchased her “Healthy Holly” books.

“I have yet frankly to hear any explanation that makes sense," the judge said. "This was not a tiny mistake, lapse of judgment. This became a very large fraud. The nature and circumstances of this offense clearly, I think, are extremely, extremely serious.”

Pugh, 69, tearfully asked Chasanow for mercy and apologized in court “to anyone I have offended or hurt through my actions.” She said she had “turned a blind eye” and “sanctioned things I should not have," but did not intend to cause harm.

Is Healthy Holly a porn star?

Talk about stupid.

Let's see...

Garth Brooks was an athlete at Oklahoma State in the 80's
Barry Sanders was an athlete at Oklahoma State in the 80's
Barry Sanders was a legend in Detroit
Barry Sanders wore #20
Garth Brooks was playing a concert in Detroit
Garth Brooks wore a #20 Sanders Detroit jersey

So naturally, this happened...

Sounds like a manufactured controversy.

Sort of like that negro who claimed to be beaten up in Chicago.

Emmett Till bill making lynching a federal crime passes House
The bill passed 410 to 4.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/emmett- ... itter_abcn

Can someone explain this to me? Was lynching NOT a crime before? Or is this a matter of adding the "hate crime" to the murder? Or is this a matter of pinning the murder on the whole mob? What's this all about?

[Skjellyfetti]

Did you read the first sentence in the article?

[CID1990]

Lynching, like murder, is a crime in most states.

This is just political posturing.

Justin Amash rightly voted against the bill.

Aren't most murders a "hate crime?" Aside from crimes of passion, you don't often hear or read about someone murdering another person out of love.

Yeah. But I don't trust a journalist to give me the proper summation in one sentence.

No kidding. If you lunch someone, you probably already hate them.

Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., who introduced the bill in January 2019, said it will finally outlaw "an American evil."

Thank goodness lynching is finally going to be outlawed.
