"Why does an actor's race matter?!" Ok… now imagine it was this:









The UK has become a prison island.









Morris was the wealthiest of all the colonies and most of England. Robert Morris is my 5th great grandfather and I descend directly. You are wrong about what happened to him and why. This is what I presented at the last Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence (DSDI) April 4-5 meeting in Washington DC, along with letters from George Washington, and my 5th great grandmother Mary White Morris, to Robert. He died in poverty in 1806, nearly forgotten. How does that happen? Two names deserve particular scrutiny: Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord and Aaron Burr. Talleyrand arrived in Philadelphia in April 1794 — a French exile fleeing the Terror, expelled from England and banned from returning to France on pain of death. Morris welcomed him. They dined together. Morris entertained him as a peer. And during those years, Talleyrand negotiated the purchase of 100,000 acres of land from Morris, but he never paid. Talleyrand was one of history’s great opportunists — a man who served the Ancien Régime, the Revolution, Napoleon, and the Bourbon Restoration with equal facility and zero loyalty. Moral obligation was not in his vocabulary. Whether he was persuaded by Morris’s Philadelphia enemies that the land wasn’t worth the price, whether he made a cold calculation that Morris was too politically vulnerable to enforce the contract, or whether he simply defaulted with the cynicism that defined his entire career — the result was the same. A man who had given everything to the American cause was left holding a worthless note from one of Europe’s most notorious double-dealers. Then came Aaron Burr. Burr — serving as Attorney General of New York — launched a partisan legal assault against Morris that stripped him of hundreds of square miles of New York property. This wasn’t routine litigation. It was political warfare. Burr understood that land was Morris’s only remaining liquidity, and that dismantling his New York holdings would accelerate his ruin. It worked. Layered on top of both betrayals was the Panic of 1797, driven by the disruption to trade and immigration caused by the Napoleonic Wars — the very wars Talleyrand helped prosecute after returning to power in France. Morris had bet on a wave of European immigrants flooding the frontier. That wave never came. The irony is almost too stark to be accidental. Congress passed the Bankruptcy Act of 1800 in significant part to secure Morris’s release from Prune Street debtors’ prison, where he had sat for three and a half years owing nearly $3 million. He died in obscurity six years later. Now — what became of the men who helped destroy him? Talleyrand slithered back to France, served Napoleon, betrayed Napoleon, helped restore the Bourbon monarchy, and died wealthy in his bed at 84. History has largely treated him as a charming rogue rather than the faithless schemer he was. Burr got something closer to justice. On July 11, 1804 — sitting Vice President of the United States — Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton on the dueling ground at Weehawken, New Jersey. He returned to New York expecting a hero’s welcome. Instead, he faced murder charges in both New York and New Jersey. The sitting Vice President of the United States fled south while indictments piled up behind him. Burr eventually slunk back to Washington to finish his term as Senate president. Then, ousted from the vice presidency and having burned every bridge in national politics, Burr hatched a scheme to seize western territories and carve out his own empire. He was arrested in present-day Alabama, tried for treason, and acquitted on a legal technicality. Disgraced and hunted by vigilantes, he fled to Europe, where he spent years in exile begging for audiences he never received. Burr returned to New York in 1812 deeply in debt. The man who used the law as a weapon against my 5th g grandfather Robert Morris, and killed the Financier’s most powerful ally died friendless, broke, and forgotten.

NEW: Heavily armed FBI agents raid the home of a decorated veteran after Jan 6 in newly obtained footage by @gatewaypundit. Chris Kuehne, a 22-year veteran who received awards including the Purple Heart, was sentenced to prison on Friday. One day after the raid, Kuehne's wife Annette Kuehne miscarried their baby. Kuehne was present in the Capitol on J6 but did not engage in any violence. In the early morning hours of February 11, 2021, Chris, his four-year-old son and his wife, were woken up by the FBI as they ransacked his home. Kuehne was sentenced on Friday to 75 days in prison and 24 months of supervised release. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of "obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder."
