In reality, which is all I profess to know, in America's rich history some Black people once did own Black people, and if one considers indentured servitude a form of slavery, a few Black people owned White people.

Whether the policy is being advocated by an anonymous internet troll or by a "woke" politician (of either party), removing a reconciliation memorial from a cemetery is a horrible idea. Trampling on an act of reconciliation is actually promoting division. We have to ask ourselves, what are the motives of those promoting division?
Also, shutting down discussion of history (or anything else) is a dangerous thing. Totalitarian tyrants obliterate history and impose their own narrative. Free people engage in free debate and let logic dictate. The true study of history is not a hammer smashing a stone. It is more like reading an interesting mosaic of human stories. Tearing down a culture in order to impose an authoritarian dream of utopia has been done before. It is a recipe for disaster.

So, in your little mind articles documenting free blacks in the south owning slaves are "horsesh*t" because they destroy your far left ideological posturing, Bobbie? No, they show your narrative is horsesh*t. Heck, in one of those articles, it even showed that in the old South's largest city, New Orleans, 28% of free blacks owned slaves themselves. That doesn't jibe with your line of anti-white racist hooey, now does it Bobbie?

Ole Bobbie has been mighty silent on this subject since he was exposed as not having a clue on what he was talking about.

According to the information dug out by the New York Post, those meetings with top members of Special Prosecutor Jack Smith's staff at the White HOuse were with the White House Counsel's office, and that does carry a strong stench of abuse of power for election interference.

The usual suspect in gas price gouging, Speedway, has jacked their price up again this afternoon to $3.59, about 15 cents increase from where they were. No one else seems to have followed yet, so it is a good time to fill up. Murphy's Express is at $3.43, and the 76 Station on Bridge Street at $3.42. Duck Thru is at $3.44, but if you have their discount card, that makes it $3.39, as of right now the best price in town, and 20 cents a gallon less than Speedway.

Commented on Will Elon Musk Fight Disney On Gina Carano’s Behalf?Translated, that means Bolshevik Bob wants to punish free speech if it goes against his sides agenda. That is what totalitarians like the Communists and Nazis do. As George Orwell said, "Freedom of speech is your right to say what I don't want to hear". Without freedom of speech, democracy is dead, just as the globalists want.

Rampant crime by illegal aliens is also rife in Europe. A. couple of weeks ago, there were rapes of a 12 year old girl and a 12 year old boy in different countries by Muslim illegal aliens. A few days later, a drunk 18 year old boy waas raped for hours on a Munich subway by a Muslim illegal alien. Strong measures need to be taken to stop this nonsense, and if the government doesn't do it, in all likelihood, private citizens will ultimately do so. rmx.news
The latter happened in a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden recently, where increasing crime by Muslim illegal aliens upset a neighborhood so much and the police were no help, that young men of the neighborhood started beating up illegal aliens found there on a regular basis, which led the illegal aliens to go elsewhere. When common sense conservatives regain control, there needs to be zero tolerance of any crime committed by an illegal alien. Jaywalk or spit on the sidewalk, and they get send home. There should be a total withdrawal of all federal funds from any sanctuary city, county, or state, welfare and everything to shut down sanctuary entities. In Europe and America, there is a higher proportion of illegal aliens in prison than in the population. Illegal aliens who commit crimes, any crimes, need to be sent home.

Countrygirl, it seems most gas stations operate like you indicate, by following what others are doing, either up or down. Duck Thru, which bought out Makin' Tracks some time back, seems to be one of those, which is why its prices can vary dramatically from one town to another.
It is the price leaders we have to watch, the ones that initiate the increases and decreases in gas price. Locally for the past few years that has been Speedway raising prices, often by 10 or 20 cents at a whack, and Murphy Express which leads the decreases, usually a few cents at a time. Lately,the new 76 statiton acress from the new Washington police building on Bridge Street has undercut even Murphy on the downside. It looks like Greenville must have gotten eiether some new players or some existing players who want to shake things up on gas prices. Good for them. We need that again in Washington.

John Steed: Under the cover of Covid was the chief proponent for the corrupt Left to so monumentally cheat in the last election. If one considers how they did it, it was genius ... as well planning criminal geniuses often are, with the Democratic Socialists' sleazy lawyer class at its core of operations.
The use of a pliable corrupt and colluding corporate media and big tech will; however, leave them forever stained and disrespected by all patriots, and I aim to see them damaged and done.

A few decades ago when I worked at a local convenience store the manager had to check all the gas station prices in the local area and report it to corporate daily. After that report we either were told nothing, gas prices remained the same or told to raise or lower the price to match what other stations were charging. It had nothing to do with the price the company was paying for gas, it was all about matching what others were charging. Are they still doing that, I no idea but from what I see it sure does look like it.
Sure to miss the gas wars of many more decades ago where they would fight to have to lowest price.

To teach Bobbie a little real history, he should read the attached articles. There are a couple of duplicates in the lists of black slave owners, but all of the stories show free blacks in the South in economically prominent positions and owning slaves themselves:
listverse.com Hmmm. I can only post one link so I will have to use a second comment to post the other one.

Commented on Turley Raises Questions About Case Against Trump: Jack Smith ‘Would Need To Bulldoze’ First Amendment To ConvictOur politically corrupt FBI and DOJ use a political filter to determine what is and is not a crime, much like Stalin's KGB chief who told him "show me the man and I will find you the crime."
When Hillary Clinton mishandled documents she had no right to possess outside of her office, and even destroyed subpoenaed documents, the politically bent FBI and DOJ decided it was not a crime, but when President Trump, like a number of other former presidents had a dispute with the National Archives, led by a Democrat hack, over what he was entitled to retain under the Presidential Records Act, that suddenly became a crime. The list could go on. There is a huge partisan political double standard being imposed by politcally motivated players at the FBI, DOJ, and elsewhere on what is a "crime". Unless this corrupt situtation is squelched, our demoracy is done. Stick a fork in it.

"Inability to accept that he lost an election" is a "crime"??? In which banana repurlic? All of the election manipulations by the Democrats using Covid as an excuse, made 2020 one of the most questionable elections in our history.
But lets look at other examples. In 2000 Al Gore and the Democrats claimed the election was stolen, as did Hillary Clinton after the 2016 election. The Gore - Lieberman ticket was labelled "Sore - Loserman" by some Republicans. Since 2018, failed Georgia gubenatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, and many of her Democrat supporters claimed she really won that election. None of these people were ever charged for their claims.

Well, what else is new? Bigot Bob is stuck on stupid. Maybe his idiot far left narrative, that he so often confuses with "fact", which it is not, claims all blacks in the south were slaves in 1861 but they were NOT. There were also free blacks in the South. Maybe Bobbie should look up the term "manumission" which was the process of slave owners giving their slaves freedom. It happened all the time, sometimes for a small number of particularly appreciated slaves and sometime for all slaves of a slaveowner. For example, George Washington, in his will, immediately freed one of his slaves at his death, and set all the rest of them, over a hundred in total, free at the death of his wife Martha. Robert E. Lee freed the hundreds of slaves he inherited from his father-in-law as soon as he cleared the debts of the estate so he could legally do so. Robert E. Lee had written in 1859, two years before secession, that "slavery is an institution of moral and political evil."
Learn your history, Bigot Bob. The far left narrative is a distortion of history.
