Oh, so Columbus wasn't a slave trader, he just captured a bunch of natives and sold them as slaves, got it

FICTION: COLUMBUS WAS A SLAVE-TRADER.

FACT: Columbus never owned any slaves or brought any to the Western Hemisphere from Africa.

During his first voyage in 1492, Columbus landed on the island of Hispaniola (now Haiti and the Dominican
Republic). There, with the help of a tribe of friendly Taino Indians, he built a fort called Navidad and left
40 of his crew there when he returned to Spain in January 1493.

On his return to Hispaniola in November 1493, he learned that all his men had been massacred by another
Taino tribe. Columbus and his men fought with these Indians, capturing about 2,000 and in 1495, sent 500
of these prisoners of war (POW) to Spain to be sold as slaves, as was the custom in 15th century Europe. He
sent another 30 Indian POWs to Spain the following year, but the Spanish monarchs ordered him to stop
the practice and he never again sent Indians to Europe to be sold as slaves.

Trump’s proven he’d rather shut down the gov than stop health insurance premiums from soaring by thousands of dollars a year from millions of hardworking Americans. He’s taking away health care from 14+millions to keep those huge tax breaks for the super rich.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Ran across this article today. A small glimpse into Peter Thiel’s ideology. In the 2022 election cycle alone, he gave roughly $35 million to Republican, especially to PACs backing Vance, Blake Masters and DT. I’m sure there’s nothing to be concerned about 🫣

The political svengali and investor has been giving lectures on 'an evil king or tyrant ... who appears in the end times'
Peter Thiel's off-the-record antichrist lectures reveal more about him than Armageddon

The Silicon Valley heavyweight drew on a wide swath of religious thinkers, including the French-American theorist René Girarde whom Thiel knew at Stanford University, and the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt, whose work he said helped create the core of his own beliefs. He credited the English Catholic theologian Jonn Henry Newman as the inspiration for his four-part series, saying:
"Newman did four, so I'm doing four. I'm happy about it."
