Doc Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM Posted Sunday at 11:52 PM On 5/2/2025 at 12:06 PM, Orlando Buffalo said: Democratic Senator Tim Kaine announced on the floor of the Senate that: “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it.” A stunningly stupid statement.

I remember being in Vancouver, BC on bidness about 15 years ago and had to pass 2 or 3 on location movies sets between my hotel and the office. I was told they get good tax incentives for shooting there so they do. 1

Joe Ferguson forever Posted yesterday at 12:02 AM Posted yesterday at 12:02 AM On 5/4/2025 at 7:52 PM, Doc said: A stunningly stupid statement. Well, not really. He's a rather bright guy. The rest of the story from 5 years ago (You guys really dig for this marginal stories. He's not a threat. He had to be persuaded to run again). “The first African Americans sent into the English colonies came to Point Comfort in 1619. They were slaves, they had been captured against their will, but they landed in colonies that didn’t have slavery — there were no laws about slavery in the colonies at that time,” Kaine explained. “The United States didn’t inherit slavery from anybody. We created it. It got created by the Virginia General Assembly and the legislatures of other states. It got created by the court systems in colonial America that enforced fugitive slave laws.” In a statement to National Review, Kaine attempted to clarify his remarks — which were much longer than the prepared speech released by his office. “There was no law mandating slavery on our shores when African slaves came ashore in 1619. Did slavery already exist in the world? Of course. But not in the laws of colonial America at the time,” Kaine explained. “We could have been a nation completely without the institution. But colonial legislatures and courts, and eventually the U.S. legal system, created the institution on our shores and maintained slavery until the 13th Amendment. As I said, we didn’t inherit it. We chose to create it.”

You can’t have it both ways. And we all agree healthy food is important so no you can't use your food stamps on soda and junk food. Can't have it both ways. Free or reduced price HEALTHY food for all students is something I can get behind. Growing up my wife didn't know if she would have food at home but luckily she had food at school except it was all crap. But it beats eating cereal for dinner at home.
