Incredible colorized footage reveals aspects of interpersonal engagement in the late 19th Century. The masterful restoration and enhancement gives the clip the clarity and brilliance of what we might have expected if it had been taken with a modern smartphone.

A friend noticed this and commented: “I love this video. No one is staring at a cell phone.”
I immediately remembered a meme to offer in response with my own comment: “Indeed… before cellphones people were more directly engaged with one another! Here’s the early equivalent to an online debate!”
A fan submitted this open letter to a college aged niece that’s been poisoned with hatred of Trump and all his supporters, including the author and her own father.
Dearest Niece,
There is no question that you are intelligent and capable of achieving great things in the kind of America where I grew up. I’ve also watched you develop from first steps, into High School and beyond. During the most recent four years, I’d observed some signs of contemporary culture prevailing over more “big picture” kind of thinking. Of course nobody should expect the latter of someone before they gain life experience beyond the walls of parent provided, subsidized existence.
Trump’s elimination of so-called “Critical Race Theory” training to protect military personnel from hateful, racist, and anti-science dogma created a great uproar of righteous indignation by the left. This and Common Core are pet projects of the left to elevate mediocrity and destroy the spirits of the competent in the name of ending “privilege.”
This presentation of facts provides a important look at these schemes in a well organized, thoughtful, and sometimes humorous manner:
In the recent two against one “debate” rigged against the incumbent President, the vile and wildly dishonest Chris Wallace reaffirmed his commitment to propping up the most feeble candidate to ever emerge as a Presidential Candidate since, if not before the third run by FDR.
For most Americans it is disheartening and even sickening to witness the violence set in motion by the Street Democrats. The cheerleading by the complicit media, and encouragement by the likes of Kamala Harris who says there will be , and even should be yet more rioting even after the election demonstrates the “top down” aspects of this well coordinated and funded “bottom up” Communist revolt taking place on our own streets, sidewalks, porches and shopping malls.
The extremely vile Community agitator, Barack Obama, certainly didn’t sit this one out either. “Make people feel uncomfortable!” – Barack Obama 2020. And of course when it comes to rioting, looting, arson and murder by his American “JV Team,” he’ll sure not deploy his signature “That’s not who we are!” speech.
On the bright side, while police are given stand down orders by the bureaucrat accomplices, some good men are standing up to risk all in defense of the property, rights, and lives of other Americans. Others set these proud moments of true American grit to a beat, and this particular sample deserves praise and should be shared generously to lift the spirits of the many Americans who have become quite fatigued by the series of assaults against the very fabric of our nation.
The genius behind this added an accompanying caption: “Needs more cowbell!”

In a time where many might thirst for a balancing of scales, an email demonstrates through, what we believe might well be “staged” photos, a glimpse of a world where statues and monuments push back against the poor behavior of humans.

There was one campaign issue that Trump announced before even announcing his first run for any political office that successfully achieved his seemingly miraculous success at landing the highest office on his first ever political campaign.
While the left claim a few hundred thousand in social media by some “very bad” Russians combined with Trump’s celebrity and billions robbed Hillary Clinton of her apparent “birthright” for a Third Clinton Term, Bloomberg’s recent torching of a cool 500 million dollars proved that something other than campaign budget matters to the American voters.
Before Trump came down that escalator he appeared on TV to fire a few big warning shots. He called out Epstein’s Island as a Cesspool, and followed up with a “you can ask Prince Andrew about it, he’ll tell you!”
Ever since, the left has made such overt business of circling their wagons to protect their pedophilia based cult of elites, even the most dismissive of anything that might smell as a “conspiracy theory,” have been lulled from their slumber.
While the party of fakers is busy propping up fake vets, fake indians, fake blacks, fake Mexicans, and all the professional fakers in Hollywood to promote their anti-American messages of complete and utter hatred. And this burning rage against Trump and all who “dared” to support his run for office, and to stand up with Trump against the numerous examples of “accepting results,” that were deployed since America’s big win in November of 2016 burns hotter than ever.
We just shared this to a devout and practicing Catholic, Elizabeth, who is responsible for some of the otherwise secular content here. She routinely demonstrates discernment in both secular and spiritual realms and the following presentation (concerning a dream involving 50 bison which will be shared and linked later) reminded us of an earlier and interesting story she shared shortly after the surprising victory America experience in November of 2016.
Listening to this gentleman reminded me of some interesting notions about the interpretation of visions as revealed in dreams that were described to me in detail by a devout Catholic who repeatedly demonstrates a deep knowledge in spiritual and secular matters.

The Dixie Chicks have been long desperate to make friends outside of their musical Confederacy and had been at the forefront of the “struggle” against all of that long history of crimes they’ve been busy projecting onto their original base of fans for well over a decade.
