Verginius - post de Decem vermes

#IStandWithDexterTaylor with 2½ boxes of ammo ($100) Years after the Supreme Court *clearly* ruled these civil rights belong to all citizens, Dexter Taylor has been arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for "firearms-in-NY". Taylor's a model citizen, someone you'd be happy to have as a neighbor or friend. There's no connection to any crime, Taylor simply had them. Everything he bought, made, and possessed is legal across America .... except a few places that don't recognize US civil rights. Dexter's state is defying US law in an example of legal #MassiveResistance no different than Virginia's 1960s defiance to school integration. Dexter is caught in the middle, now jailed, the court not even accepting bond pending appeal. You can help with a donation to his legal fund: t.co/EK0KNofIb0

@Jeff_Davis1808 They named their new settlement "New England" and "New York" for reasons, and IF you dig into it, it'll all make sense

#Onthisday (5/26/1861) the great Yankee writer Nathaniel Hawthorne cheered that the Union is dissolved. Many anti-slavery agitators were happy to let the South go.

@AppyOrtho Almost all the paved roads look like this 🤣😅

Yes, we are, don’t move here.

@rattyewe @Lorelei1861 Study your own history then. Puritanism is/was English; the remnant of Oliver Cromwell and the Roundheads. NOT American, and the American CW was primarily between the same English antagonists. The Union today is the Puritan's (diluted) victory.

@Lorelei1861 What's that??? I'm British. Dunno all the American 1800's Cults just the Major Ones

“Battle Hymn of the Republic” was written by the non Christian wife of a financial backer of John Brown’s murderous rampage.

@rattyewe @Lorelei1861 Puritans dissolved into Congregationalists and Unitarians. Puritanism was always about control, using the Bible or biblical imagery. Little different than Islam, a way of governing cloaked as religion IMO that religious certainty is a foundation of progressivism

@Lorelei1861 Are Unitarians Oneness Modalists???

@ManifestHistory Explained to me —handmedown from a Stuart officer— Stuart was best. But by Gettysburg, USA cavalry had improved to become their equal …. or better if you count size, logistics, & spare mounts In '61-2 Stuart could have run completely around the army, but not that summer

Jeb Stuart, the Confederacy's top cavalryman, was a master of reconnaissance and lightning raids, supporting Lee's operations brilliantly. However, his infamous raid around the Union Army during the Gettysburg Campaign left Lee fighting blind.

@Lorelei1861 @WanjiruNjoya @cwipaulk A Disease in the Public Mind, Thomas Fleming

@WanjiruNjoya It’s also why the wife of one of John Brown’s financial backers wrote the blasphemous “Battle Hymn of the Republic”. @cwipaulk wrote a great article about it. southernvindicator1.substack.com/p/song-of-blas…

Unfortunately when you launch attacks on other people you need a good excuse for why you did it - otherwise it makes you look bad in the eyes of the world. That's how it came to be that the Union invented the Righteous Cause Myth about invading the South "to free the slaves".

@WanjiruNjoya The difference between - the united States, plural & original, and -the United States, singular & overarching

@WillesLee Hope we can get someone good. Dunno about Secretaries, but IMO the politicization around the organization limits future jobs for many positions.

2/2.. with a 1-year-at-a-time term, elected by the Board. Nice if extensive knowledge of ‘us’. Supervises 2 employees. No reason a lawyer is NEEDed. Send resume. Please no antigun plants.

1/2 PSA, for job. 6 months after noting the opening, years after the NYAG v NRA Findings, NRA posts for a Secretary. Noticed, + search committee(?), + Nominations Committee. Not JUST a secretary: should (in bold) note … an Officer of the Association (unless, or, whatever), ..

@dronefishing1 @PeteHegseth Canukistani comments 🤣 😅

@PeteHegseth A third truth. A retired major who was a Fox News weekend host has no business running the most powerful military in the world and it shows.

Two simple Truths: Jesus Christ died for our sins. America’s fallen died for our freedom. May we live worthy.

@urmumshair @WanjiruNjoya According to the National Cemetery Administration and the Library of Congress, Memorial Day was ☞STARTED☜ by Southern women in 1866 to honor the Confederate fallen, but they decorated both CSA and USA graves.

@WanjiruNjoya You don’t get to say it was a Memorial Day post when you made the whole thing abt the confederacy retard

On Memorial Day we remember also the black Confederates and all veterans who died defending the Southern cause.

@TheConfederate_ @WillesLee Yes. "Weak people" like President & General Harrison 😂🤣

@Verginius_post @WillesLee I dont understand this. I've been in cold rain multiple times for long sessions and never get sick. Just a runny nose for a day and thats it. Are people really this weak nowadays?

… so y’all know that your life sucks from here on forward, sit in the downpour for an hour …..

@TammiMinoski No, you said (quote) "The murders were in retaliation for….", which *implies* an equivalency. It needs pointing out psychotic Brown killed five innocent people because he was upset over property damage someone else, somewhere else, had done.

@Verginius_post Very true. I didn’t say that anyone was killed in Lawrence.

#OTD 1856: Radical abolitionist #JohnBrown and his men kidnapped and killed 5 pro-#slavery settlers with broadswords at Pottawatomie Creek. The murders were in retaliation for the pro-slavery sacking of the anti-slavery town of Lawrence, Kansas. #BleedingKansas #USHistory

@sahil_kr_ @TulsiGabbard Almost as if you cannot read English Oh!! I see the problem, weak "🇮🇳 nationalist"

@TulsiGabbard Modern politics: quote Psalms in the morning, approve military operations by evening.

But my eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord; in you I seek refuge - Psalm 141:8

@VanLowe8 @ZeekArkham "you people" 😅 🤣 😂

@ZeekArkham Too many of you people idolize George Floyd which is wrong

I can promise you all, I’ve got way more ghetto fatigue than anyone else. I don’t say “black fatigue” because there are tons of us black folks who would never act this way. There’s a major difference between us. This is why I go so hard against the “ghetto/hood rat” community. They ruin everything.

@CaptNed55 @Jeff_Davis1808 @ConfedQuarrels Nailed it ! 🔨

@Jeff_Davis1808 @ConfedQuarrels The slave trade and slavery were dying. Propagandized people today don't want to believe that - they wouldn't know then where to put their hate.

In the spring of 1860, just months before the secession crisis engulfed the Union, the U.S. Senate debated the fate of Africans captured from illegal slave ships intercepted by the American navy while enforcing the long-standing federal ban on the international slave trade. Vessels such as the Wildfire and the William had recently arrived in Key West carrying hundreds of captives, prompting Congress to consider appropriations for their care and repatriation to Africa under existing U.S. laws and international agreements dating back to the 1808 prohibition. Southern senators took the lead in these discussions, insisting that the federal government must honor its commitments to suppress the trade rather than exploit the situation for domestic political gain. Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana spoke for many when he declared on May 24 that “The government of the US has undertaken, in conjunction with other powers, to put a stop to the slave trade if possible. It is our duty to carry out these engagements,” underscoring a sectional willingness to uphold the law even amid rising sectional tensions. The debate revealed nuanced Southern positions on both humanitarian and fiscal grounds. North Carolina’s Thomas Clingman argued that, as a matter of basic humanity and consistent with the spirit of the anti-slave-trade laws, the United States should provide for the captured Africans’ survival and resettlement if they were returned to the African coast—potentially at federal expense—rather than abandoning them to certain death or re-enslavement. This stance reflected a broader Southern recognition that enforcement actions carried moral and practical obligations. Yet not every Southerner agreed on the financial details. I pushed back against expansive spending, contending that taxpayers should not be forced to shoulder costs beyond the strict requirements of treaties and statutes. In an exchange with Maine Republican William Fessenden, I noted that while small sums might seem inconsequential to some, “it would be an objection with those who object to paying taxes to this Government for any other than its legitimate purposes,” insisting the government must not turn treaty enforcement into open-ended charity. These exchanges demonstrated that leading Southern voices were actively working to enforce the ban on the international slave trade, not to revive or expand it. Far from plotting a “slave empire” that would flood the South with new imports from Africa, Benjamin, Clingman, and I engaged in good-faith deliberation over how best to fulfill existing federal and international duties. Their disagreements were limited to questions of cost and scope, never to the underlying principle that the foreign slave trade must remain closed. This episode, largely forgotten today, directly contradicts modern narratives that portray the South as uniformly obsessed with reopening the African trade for conquest or unlimited expansion. The historical record bears this out even more clearly in the Confederacy’s own founding document. The Confederate Constitution explicitly banned the international slave trade in Article I, Section 9, prohibiting the importation of slaves from any foreign country other than the United States or its territories—a provision Southern framers adopted without serious opposition. President Jefferson Davis himself later vetoed efforts to relax these restrictions. The 1860 Senate debate, therefore, stands as a quiet but powerful rebuttal to the “slave empire” conspiracy theories advanced by recent faux historians. By ignoring or downplaying such evidence, those accounts reduce complex constitutional and enforcement debates to simplistic morality tales that serve contemporary politics rather than historical truth.

@Diogenesinny71 @Lorelei1861 @SouthernMB82 @m_patrixia @RamenTumbleweed @nickgerteis After Washington's inauguration, Adams approached him and asked, "How should we address you? Your Highness? Your Excellency? …. " Washington's reply was, " Mister. Mister President"

Most definitely she’s a Brooklyn girl . Very liberal voting when she first started dating me she found out I was conservative. She did a backflip she goes. I didn’t think Black people were Republicans so years later she knows the deal. I always encourage my children to look at the person. See if they align with your principles. Do they have a value system. That’s the problem there’s no morality. There’s no shame anymore and as a consequence of that, there’s no honor . Hold them to account and always remember a president is only a first among equals.

Is genealogy that mysterious to you? 102 passengers arrived on the ship, with 26 families establishing lasting bloodlines. Thanks to large family sizes in early America the exponential growth over the last 400 years is the primary driver behind these numbers. 30M to 35M is the broader estimate of living people across the globe—primarily in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe—who descend from the Mayflower.

@LancefromBC2 @GetOnTap Actually saw these on some Canadian registered tractor-trailers a few yrs ago

Confederate Flags sales are about to skyrocket.

@GOPinkPolitics @GetOnTap The flags help. So do old-time practices

@GetOnTap Good because Virginians don’t want those types of people. Especially in southern Virginia.
