@HistorianUSA1 @ShawneeMG2 She absolutely acted appropriately! No one I don’t care who you are has the right to do that to a woman.

Fabulous film!

[Matt Dickerson @MattDickerson]

Sir Ben Kingsley is absolutely magnetic as Robert Dinwiddie in #YoungWashington.

But to truly understand his dynamic with George Washington, you have to look at Dinwiddie's personal roots. He wasn’t a lifelong military general—he was a shrewd, Glasgow-born Scottish merchant.

He built his life on commerce, climbing the ranks of the British Empire as a strict customs official in Bermuda before taking power in Virginia. More importantly, Dinwiddie was a massive investor in the Ohio Company. His fierce push to secure the Ohio River Valley wasn't just about patriotism; it was a deeply personal mission to protect his own massive real estate investments!

When French forces threatened that land, this calculating businessman needed a proxy. He needed someone tough, ambitious, and just a little bit expendable to trek into the brutal, untamed wilderness and deliver an ultimatum. He took a massive gamble on a young 21-year-old George Washington—a fateful decision that accidentally sparked a global war and forged America’s greatest leader.

Kingsley perfectly captures the brilliant, financially-driven gravitas of a man who treated the frontier like a ledger. If you haven’t seen the film everyone is talking about, don't wait. Experience the origin story of America today!

In December 1909, at a teachers’ conference in Columbia, South Carolina, a government speaker stood proudly explaining a new federal program for boys.

Young farm boys across the South were receiving seed, land, and agricultural training. Their crops were producing harvests far larger than their fathers had ever managed. Newspapers called it progress. Officials called it a success.

At the back of the room sat a 27-year-old schoolteacher named Marie Cromer.

She taught in a one-room schoolhouse in rural Aiken County. She was the teacher, the principal, the administrator, and often the only educated adult many children saw all week.

She listened quietly.

Then she raised her hand.

“What are we doing for the farm girls?”

That single question — recorded in the meeting notes — would eventually help create one of the largest youth organizations in American history.

Marie knew exactly what life looked like for the girls she taught.

Every spring, many disappeared from school because their families needed them in the fields. Some walked barefoot through summer because shoes cost too much. Most were expected to marry young, raise children young, and depend financially on husbands for the rest of their lives.

Their brothers might inherit land someday.

They would not.

Marie came home from that conference and decided to build something herself.

Without waiting for permission, she organized the Aiken County Girls’ Tomato Club — the first organization of its kind in the United States.

Each girl received tomato seeds, a small one-tenth-acre plot on her family’s land, and something even more revolutionary:

The right to keep every dollar she earned.

Marie also taught them bookkeeping, budgeting, record keeping, crop management, and food preservation. These girls were not being trained to “help” on farms.

They were being trained to run businesses.

In the spring of 1910, forty-seven girls joined.

They planted. Watered. Weeded. Harvested. Canned. Sold.

And for many of them, it was the first money they had ever controlled themselves.

Marie wanted the top student to attend Winthrop College, but she didn’t have the $140 scholarship money needed. So she wrote letters until she found a wealthy winter visitor willing to fund it.

That first year, a girl named Katie Gunter canned 512 jars of tomatoes from her tiny plot and earned a $40 profit — an enormous amount for a rural Southern teenager in 1910.

She won the scholarship.

Within a few years, some girls were earning $70 or $80 from a tenth of an acre — more than many grown men earned sharecropping cotton for an entire year.

Parents who had once dismissed their daughters’ education suddenly began paying attention.

The movement exploded.

Tomato clubs spread across Virginia, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and beyond. By 1913, more than 20,000 girls across fifteen Southern states were enrolled in similar programs.

The federal government noticed.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture appointed Marie Cromer as one of the first women ever assigned to agricultural field work in federal service.

And the girls themselves understood what was changing.

One participant wrote in 1915:

“The work was long and sometimes tiresome. But I now have a bank account of sixty dollars.”

A teenage farm girl in rural South Carolina.

A bank account.

In her own name.

This was five years before women could even vote nationwide.

In 1914, Congress passed the Smith-Lever Act, combining the tomato clubs, boys’ corn clubs, and related youth programs into a national cooperative extension system.

A decade later, that movement received a new name.

4-H.

Today, nearly six million young people participate in 4-H programs across the United States. Agriculture. Science. Leadership. Public speaking. Entrepreneurship. Community service.

An entire century of opportunity traces back to one teacher sitting quietly in the back of a room asking why girls had been left out.

Marie Cromer never became nationally famous.

She didn’t seek political office. She didn’t tour lecture halls. She didn’t write bestselling books.

She simply saw girls being overlooked and decided that was unacceptable.

In 1953, President Dwight D. Eisenhower formally recognized her as one of the founders of 4-H.

She died in 1964 at the age of eighty-one.

There is a small historical marker in South Carolina that carries her name.

But her real memorial isn’t a plaque.

It’s every young person who learned they were capable of building something for themselves.

Every child who discovered confidence through leadership.

Every girl who realized earning money, owning skills, and having choices could change the direction of an entire life.

Marie Cromer changed America with one question.

Not shouted from a podium.

Simply raised from the back of the room.

And more than a hundred years later, the country is still answering it.

Before 4-H became a household name, it began with one woman who believed rural girls deserved the same opportunities as boys. This forgotten story is truly unforgettable.

This should have been done decades ago!--------------

Rules:
1. Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And no more perks go with them.
2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise at the same rate as the COLA for monthly Social Security recipients minus 1% if having a budget balance deficit.
5. Congress loses their current care system and participates in the same health care system (Medicare) as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!).
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor and privilege, NOT a career.
The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies. Term limits of 2 terms and treat them like a regular citizen!

I AGREE SO IM SHARING!

Note: This should be done immediately!!!

Dr. Jeff Barke: “This is insane!” — VAXELIS 6 VACCINES in ONE SHOT for 6-WEEK-OLD BABIES...6 Infants Died In Trials.

Here’s what Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know:

• 6 vaccines in ONE (DTaP, Polio, Hib, Hep B) for infants starting at 6 weeks old.
• Epinephrine and emergency equipment MUST be ready because anaphylactic shock can happen instantly.
• Institute of Medicine confirms causal link to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (full-body paralysis) and brachial neuritis (shoulder/arm paralysis).
• Apnea warning: Babies can suddenly STOP BREATHING after the shot — often labeled “SIDS.”
• 319 micrograms of aluminum (a known neurotoxin) plus formaldehyde, bovine serum albumin, neomycin, streptomycin, polymyxin B… and Vero monkey kidney cells.
• ZERO placebo-controlled safety studies — they only tested it against other vaccines.
• 6 infants DIED in the trials.
• NEVER tested for cancer, mutations, fertility damage, pregnancy, or breastmilk effects.

Dr. Barke’s words: “This is insane!”

If parents actually read the insert, NO ONE in their right mind would inject their child.

Share this with every parent you know. Read the full package insert yourself. Your baby’s life depends on it.

As Mitch McConnell is MIA, when the Senate returns Monday Ted Cruz will chair the Rules Committe.

If he doesn't advance the SAVE America Act, he needs to be primaried.

We won't forget, Ted.

24% of adults in the five hardest-hit states now carry alpha-gal antibodies—just as a peer-reviewed paper called for the release of GMO ticks to spread alpha-gal syndrome as a form of "moral bioenhancment."

Deliberately spreading a life-threatening meat allergy is BIOTERRORISM.
