<\/p>\nYesterday, it was a pretty unexciting day until the word came out that the Inflatin Reduction Act had been passed by the Senate. I picked up a very short, graphic short take about it, figuring there will be plenty of time to discuss it at length.<\/p>\n

Short Takes –<\/p>\n
Letters from an American – August 6, 2022<\/a> Twitter – This happened yesterday at approximately 5 pm Eastern.<\/a> By now I’m sure there is a real article of analysis up somewhere, but I didn’t want to wait: Food For Thought Yesterday, it was a pretty unexciting day until the word came out that the Inflatin Reduction Act had been passed by the Senate.

\nQuote – \u201cGentlemen,\u201d [Garfield] said, \u201cideas outlive men; ideas outlive all earthly things. You who fought in the war for the Union fought for immortal ideas, and by their might you crowned the war with victory. But victory was worth nothing except for the truths that were under it, in it, and above it. We meet tonight as comrades to stand guard around the sacred truths for which we fought…. [W]e will remember our allies who fought with us,\u201d he told them. \u201cSoon after the great struggle began, we looked beyond the army of white rebels, and saw 4,000,000 of [B]lack people condemned to toil as slaves for our enemies; and we found that the hearts of these 4,000,000 were God-inspired with the spirit of liberty, and that they were all our friends.\u201d As the audience cheered, he continued: \u201cWe have seen white men betray the flag and fight to kill the Union; but in all that long, dreary war we never saw a traitor in a black skin.\u201d
\nClick through for the background and what happened next.<\/a> White supremacy = corruption. President Garfield was ambidextrous, multilingual, and so good at multitasking that he could write in Latin with one hand and Greek with the other at the same time. That means nothing – but this speech meant something. So, of course, they killed him.<\/p>\n
