My great great grandfather has a house bill passed in his name because it took a literal house bill to get him federal support after he lost one and the use of the other arm in the Mexican American war. He was a resident of DC, so lived amongst the senators and they could not ignore him and his 'pitiful State'. There are at least 100 pages about he and his wife in the national archives. I need to look it up.
He had joined the Mexican-American war when he was visiting his in-laws in Kentucky, had been thrown in the dead pile for a few days, and then when they went to move the bodies, they found that his was still warm. They pulled him out and let him sit there for a few days and he did not die so they amputated his arm and he woke up from his coma two days later. His ribs were healed in an exposed state and he was in continual pain there.
Walking around in DC with war wounds on full display, garnering the sympathy of all the residents.
And then another house bill has his name to get his widow a pension after the union soldiers beat him naked in the street, which caused his death a few days later of pneumonia, when they were "questioning" him after his cousin escaped from union prison in Maryland during the Civil War, a few days after they went to give him some provisions and visit.
They had a black nanny that lived with them and was part of the family, and when the soldiers questioned they called her a slave. She set them straight and said she was 'born free' and that the children were 'under her protection' and she wasn't going to let them do anything to the kids when they went to beat a disabled man. She is buried in the family plot, and as far as I'm concerned she is adopted into my family!
My great grandma was 5 when she witnessed the beating and any time she heard the word "Yankee" she would hock up a loogie, spit on the ground, and stomp into it, even when she was an elderly little old lady of 4'11". When my dad questioned it as a child they told him the entire story.
Somehow distrust of the federal government has carried through the generations of my family... know your family history! Get to know United States history!
Ha ha as an LDS woman, I encourage everybody reading this to take caution since none of it is true...
When we die, our spirits leave our bodies they don't stay in a grave. And they go to a spirit world. And one of the most important questions asked of us to judge our husbands will be. "Did he love you?" God, very much cares about the feelings of women and how they are treated by their husbands.
The fundamentalist Baptist group that I used to live near in Virginia taught my brother that he should hit women 'to keep them in line'.
Why do Baptists, above anybody else blatantly lie about us?
You have a wild imagination.
It's illegal to make any wake if the flooding is hitting peoples houses. Somebody complained about some kids in jacked up trucks rushing through the flooding when the water was barely coming in somebody's house and it caused so much water to enter their home. and then another person replied that it was illegal.
They look pretty high up here though. Haha
@XLR_The_Plugg@andrewilliamsus@publicfreekout And he didn't just merely start filming him he started badgering him and carrying on... be a freaking professional and resolve your conflicts without pulling out your phone or you're gonna get fired! What is wrong with that generation?
Clearly, it wasn't for his safety. It was to hound him, thinking that he was being racist towards him. Well, that didn't pan out too well....
Maybe stop thinking everybody is racist towards you. And maybe stop defending bad behavior.
Is that a photo of you? Why are you wearing that uniform if you don't understand basic rules?
You cannot be in any school in this country without wearing your professional teacher badge that identifies you as a teacher.
That man teacher is a hero for checking on him.
The guy stands in a stall with the door open and is worried about his privacy? Teacher restrooms may only have 1-3 stalls. It's not like he had a lot of other places to stand.
If you're a short young man and you go to a high school to substitute you better have your badge on you. Like I said to other people I was mistaken or asked if I was a student until I was 33 and I got pregnant....
Hahaha... teachers are the security. All teachers are required to act.
He doesn't think he's a threat. Or he would have called security
He thinks he's a kid trying to get away with stuff.
He was looking for content...
stop being the way that you are and start being normal
Think like a normal person please. It's really annoying.
@JohnFackler3@FinancialPhys Next time somebody does that tell them that they should be too embarrassed to ask that question to you. And to go ask their mother.
@FinancialPhys Had a young man working for me and I wrote his first pay check and he asked what to do with it . I’d told him go to your bank, sign the back of the check and cash it. HE ASKED HOW DO I SIGN MY NAME? 🤷♂️
When a nation of people see money being printed from nothing and apparently just given to fake billionaires all day long, it can tend to cause things like this
@dhaevian Are there homeless resource centers where they help fast track people to getting daycare assistance I that area? There's no way he can start a job without having the kids looked after.
"Girl, give me back my purse. I know you have it."
A California thrift vendor at Silverlake Flea films a woman walking off in heels and says she can see her purse inside the other woman's bag. She follows her down the sidewalk: hand it over, I see it in there. At one point she says she does not want an iPad — she wants the purse.
The seller says police were called, market security stood there and did nothing, and the woman got away. We see the chase and the accusation on camera. We do not see the original grab of the stand.
Stealing from a small vendor at a flea market is not a souvenir. Security watching a seller chase a shoplifter and declining to step in is how this keeps happening.
If you are the vendor and you can see your item in someone else's bag, do you grab it back on the sidewalk, or do you wait for security that is not coming?
Bill is exactly right about all of this. War is hell. Horrible things happen. Innocents get killed. You try not to but it happens and it’s horrible. You know how you don’t get a war? You don’t paraglide into a music festival and start killing people. You don’t go house to house murdering families and babies and elderly people.
If Hamas had never done that there wouldn’t have been a war.
