An SUV did THAT?!

@TWilliamsAuthor Indeed! Enjoying it so far.

[Jack Mulkey @jacko75]

[David Keating @DavidLKeating]

Today is the 250th anniversary of The Virginia Declaration of Rights!!

"Section 12 -- That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotic governments."

The semester over today in my “part-time, part-time” college job, it’s time for some summer reading in hopes of getting smarter. I have a couple of murder mysteries on order to “lighten” things up. :-)

Terribly sorry to hear of the passing of my friend and brilliant historian Gordon Wood. His work transformed the field of early American history and drove analysis for nearly 50 years. Personally, he was a generous and supportive advocate. One of the giants, his voice will be missed. My prayers are with his family. https://t.co/s40Tl4OLUA

@LoweJohnThomas @USCPress I made an advance order recently. Eager to read it!

Silly spellcheck, changing “if I recall correctly” to “if I recall butterfly.” Harrumph.

For some reason I’m imagining GW saying “I’ve seen enough” when I look at this new quarter.

“the same principles that oblige us to submit to civil government, do also equally oblige us, where we have power and ability, to resist and oppose tyranny; and that where tyranny begins, government ends.” The Rev. Samuel West, Massachusetts #ElectionSermon, May 29th, 1776.

@AdamKinzinger There are several Founding Fathers and Mothers who have never been on U.S. currency. Wouldn’t they be far more appropriate for our 250 observance?!!
