I've started to read Norman Solomon's 'War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of its Military Machine': https://bookrastinating.com/book/486298/s/war-made-invisible

6% in, the book provides relation through its simple language and many facts. The writing style is lovely: straightforward, illuminating, clarifying.

in - in 1815, Anna Ella Carroll was born in Maryland - as a child, she was educated by her father to act as his aide, which provided her a political and legal curriculum (her father was later governor of the state).
Anna wrote and published pamphlets for political candidates and causes. In 1860, with Abraham Lincoln's election, she freed all the people her family had enslaved, and later worked as a wartime advisor to the president.

GOP Candidate Will Hurd: “Donald Trump is a loser”

Of all the Republican candidates for president, former Congressman Will Hurd of Texas is one of the few who has been willing to speak out explicitly and unapologetically against Donald Trump. “If we're going to be the party of law and order, then we need to stand up for law and order,” says Hurd.

Some MAGA fans think a pro-Trump rally outside the Atlanta jail is an FBI setup

“Watch out for the FBI and antifa/blm to stir up a riot,” wrote one social media user, responding to Donald Trump's post about Thursday's rally.

One bookmaker has set the over/under on Trump's weight at 273.5 pounds

It comes after he accused Fox News of frequently using an unflattering photo

in 1831 a group of enslaved and free people, organized by Nat Turner, began an uprising against their oppressors in Virginia. They killed at least 55 people, leaving some of the poorest White homes alone. They were captured and largely killed by state militia within days. Legislative vengeance soon followed, with new laws making the enslaved condition even more restrictive than before. This was one of the most significant uprisings in .

Arrested During Debate?

Multiple insider sources have told me they expect Trump to turn himself in for arrest at the Fulton County jail either immediately before or DURING the first Republican presidential debate this Wednesday in Wisconsin.

Trump would sell his soul for news coverage and it looks like he might have done just that!

Pssst. Hey buddy...Yeah, you there.

I can sell you three minutes of weightlessness for only $450,000.00

Of course, it will take you two minutes to unbuckle, then rebuckle your seat belt.
