We are sitting around WAITING for midterm elections to save us. But there's no evidence Trump & his stormtroopers won't cheat. The only defense we have are the courts-minus the Supreme Court which has been seized by Heritage Foundation billionaires. Call on lawyers to help Marc Elias! God Bless him!
"At the outbreak of the Civil War in the early 1860s, Texas cattle baron John Chisum freed his slaves, including his enslaved partner, Jensie. After freeing them, he relocated his former slaves to Bonham, Texas, ensuring they had a home and financial support for their needs." AI
Ex-Texas Ranger, Charlie Goodnight & cattle-baron Oliver Loving were represented by characters in the novel, "Lonesome Dove". It was their story. They along with John Chisum, drove cattle from Texas to Ft. Sumner & Sante Fe, New Mexico to feed Union soldiers. Sadly, Loving was killed by Comanches.
Re the Civil War. "This rebellion on a part of the South originated in falsehood, fraud & perjury, & the men who inaugurated it & are now at it's head are as bad men as ever agitated the slavery question in New England." Brownlow 1862 And here we go again.
When dealing w/ anti-social people, it's exhausting. The media IMO needs to NOT keep reacting to what they say, just analyze the situation & focus on process not content. Don't waste airtime & energy regurgitating the WHAT & instead pursue WHY they are doing it at this time. Outlaws all deceive.
I think all Dems should reregister as Independents... just to screw with Trump & the Republicans. The more I think about it, the more I like Ulysses S. Grant! I think he would make a good president today!
Jesse James didn't die in 1882. He became a VERY wealthy businessman. They say, "The best way to rob a bank is to own one!" He had legitimate businesses too. Where did he put all his money after his SECOND death hoax? Perhaps in the grave he was supposed to be in? We know who he was- his alias!
Ya... just about as much as Wyatt Earp was just going to let Johnny Ringo, get away with killing his brother Morgan... Iran hasn't done their "Vendetta Ride" yet.
All mothers should be honored today, and so it feels appropriate to choose today to post an original 19th century folk art painting I have of Zerelda James & her two sons, Frank & Jesse James. She was a mother dedicated to her boys... unconditionally.

"Billy the Kid" had a sister who was married to Henry Newton Brown. They had a daughter. Billy was married twice. This is a photo of Henry Newton Brown, his daughter, BTK's sister & Billy (standing) & Billy's second wife (seated) Neither Billy nor Henry Newton brown were killed as history recorded.
This is an amazing photograph. John Wilkes Booth & his wife Izola Mills are in the top left corner & Robert Todd Lincoln & his wife to be Mary Harlan seated right... in Vermont.
Dear Chicago: I know who George Streeter (Streeterville) really was. His name, George Streeter, was an alias & he worked for a famous outlaw who faked his own death!
Doc Holliday's favorite cousin Mattie Holliday, became a nun- "Sister Mary Melanie".
Don't sit around the house worrying about all the things you need to do... but aren't doing. If you are going to procrastinate, do it at a baseball game or while taking a walk.🚶♀️👨🦽 Do it while taking an afternoon nap. 😴😊 House of David Baseball Team Benton Harbor, MI.
Mobsters it appears, truly HATE the real FBI. "Machine Gun Kelly" & Harvey J. Bailey (left) Eliot Ness (rt)
I have a lot of information found through original photographs that have little provenance & therefore am working on writing a work of historical fiction about the Civil War era & the Civil War. I believe they are stories worth telling. My website is alias-dictus.com ALIAS DICTUS - OUTLAW LEGENDS
