@Saiba_bandit@h4n5k1@stevecasexx@GaiusCaesar41AD You should have researched before posting. Hannah is absolutely right. His name was Anthony Johnson. He may not have been the first to own slaves, but he was recorded as owning another black slave for life.
From Karl Streed -
I BET YOU DIDN'Y KNOW ABOUT THIS: AFTER FLIGHT 77 HIT THE PENTAGON ON 9/11, THE FOLLOWING HAPPENED.
A daycare facility inside the Pentagon had many children, including infants who were in heavy cribs. The daycare supervisor, looking at all the children they needed to evacuate, was in a panic over what they could do.
There were many children, mostly toddlers, as well as the infants who would need to be taken out with the cribs. There was no time to try to bundle them into carriers and strollers.
Just then a young Marine came running into the center and asked what they needed. After hearing what the center director was trying to do, he ran back out into the hallway and disappeared. The director thought, "Well, here we are, on our own."
About 2 minutes later, that Marine returned with 40 other Marines in tow.
Each of them grabbed a crib with a child, and the rest started gathering up toddlers.
The director and her staff then helped them take all the children out of the center and down toward the park near the Potomac .
Once they got about 3/4 of a mile outside the building, the Marines stopped in the park, and then did a fabulous thing - they formed a circle with the cribs, which were quite sturdy and heavy, like the covered wagons in the Old West.
Inside this circle of cribs, they put the toddlers, to keep them from wandering off.
Outside this circle were the 40 Marines, forming a perimeter around the children and waiting for instructions. There they remained until the parents could be notified and come get their children.
The chaplain then said, "I don't think any of us saw nor heard of this on any of the news stories of the day. It was an incredible story of our men there.” There wasn't a dry eye in the room.
The thought of those Marines and what they did and how fast they reacted; could we expect any less from them? It was one of the most touching stories from the Pentagon.
It's the military, not the politicians that ensures our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It's the military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag.
If you care to offer the smallest token of recognition and appreciation for the military, please pass this on and pray for our men and women, who have served and are currently serving our country, and honor the memory of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice!
God Bless The USA!
Never forget!!!
When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.
The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.
India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.
Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.
The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.
So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.
Nick Vujicic entered the world on December 4, 1982, in Melbourne, Australia, born with tetra-amelia syndrome, an extremely rare condition that left him without arms and legs.
His parents were devastated at first, and Nick spent much of his childhood struggling to understand why he was different.
School was especially difficult. He endured years of bullying, isolation and depression, and at just 10 years old, he attempted to take his own life.
What stopped him was the thought of the pain his parents would suffer if he was gone.
Over time, Nick learned to adapt and become remarkably independent. He taught himself to write, type, use a computer, brush his teeth, shave, answer the phone, swim, surf, fish and even play sports using his small left foot, which has two toes.
He later graduated from university with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning.
At 17, Nick began speaking publicly about faith, hope and resilience. What started as talks to small groups eventually turned into a global mission.
Through his organization, Life Without Limbs, he has shared his message with millions of people in schools, prisons, stadiums, churches and conferences in more than 70 countries, encouraging countless individuals facing hardship, disability, bullying and mental health struggles.
Nick married Kanae Miyahara in 2012, and together they have built a family with four children. He has also authored several books, including Life Without Limits, and continues to travel the world proving that limitations do not have to define a person's future.
From a boy who once believed his life had no purpose to a husband, father, author and internationally recognized speaker, Nick Vujicic's journey remains one of the most inspiring examples of perseverance, faith and the power of choosing hope despite overwhelming odds.
My White American privilege means I get to spend 67 years of my live paying into a system that prioritizes foreigners over Americans. They squander away my social security through fraudulent dark money schemes that reward third world invaders and career politicians. It means I’ll pay my own groceries while funding SNAP for low income blacks who hate my existence and call me a bigot as they plunder my income. It means I’ll have to jump through hoops to secure a 30 year mortgage for an overpriced home because the illegals , TPS migrants and H1-B are getting government funded loans while they steal our jobs and crowd our schools. My White American privilege means I will abide by every law and watch illegals rape, stab , murder, kidnap and traffic drugs in my community- receive no bail release and a slap on a risk for felonies. It means I’ll spend my days as a wage slave while criminal third worlders open up fake daycares, drive Bentleys and live in mansions.
White American privilege is a lie. Everyone is benefiting from America except working class White Americans.
A Stanford professor stood in front of a full lecture hall and told them that depression has almost nothing to do with sadness. Then he wrote two words on the whiteboard that nobody in the room could define. Anhedonia. Psychomotor retardation. That, he said, is the actual illness.
The man is Robert Sapolsky, the neurobiologist who built his career following wild baboons across Kenya to measure what stress does to a living body.
What makes the video worth 52 minutes is not the subject. It is the method.
No slides. No notes he ever glances down at. One camera, one whiteboard, and a man taking depression apart the way a neurologist takes apart a stroke.
He is doing something deliberate, and it takes a while to catch. Every time the material could soften into sympathy, he hauls it back into biology. Hormones. Neurotransmitters. Genes that do nothing whatsoever until life goes wrong, and then decide everything.
Somewhere in the middle he says one sentence about depression that viewers have been pulling out of this lecture for 16 years. It is 5 words long. It reads like a contradiction until he unpacks it.
Under the video, sleepy_and_caffeinated quoted that exact sentence and wrote two words beneath it. That got me. 4.3 thousand people agreed.
Johnny_boy777 said it from another angle. The best thing about the internet, he wrote, is that any ordinary person can sit in on this without ever enrolling at Stanford. 2.6 thousand likes.
16 years old. 6.2 million views. 9410 comments. One of 25 lectures in the Stanford course Human Behavioral Biology, and every one of them is free.
Most people assume they understand depression because they have felt bad. 52 minutes is enough to learn they were describing something else entirely.
52 minutes. 5 words. It is in the video.
