General John Glover delivered a priceless gift to the nation. He
saved the cause of American independence on Christmas Day in 1776. Glover was a Marblehead, Massachusetts, mariner-turned-Revolutionary War hero who led a rugged regiment of calloused New England fishermen. This famed Marblehead militia ferried George Washington and 2,400 troops in row boats across the ice-choked Delaware River on the night of Dec. 25 with the American rebellion on the brink of collapse. The daring assault overwhelmed a garrison of 1,400 Hessian mercenaries in Trenton, New Jersey, who were fighting on behalf of the British crown. It was a stunning...

Not even the scorching Memphis heat could slow down Lucas Glover at the 2023 St. Jude Championship. Claiming his second triumph in as many weeks, the 43-year-old reigned supreme around TPC Southwind at 15 under for a playoff victory over past FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay. Ranked 130th in the season-long race
just eight competitive rounds ago, Glover has since made massive a move thanks to double-dipping the last two weeks. Climbing inside the top 50 with his win at the regular season finale, the former U.S. Open champion now finds himself fourth in the FedEx Cup standings behind only...

MEMPHIS — Lucas Glover usually likes to unwind at night on the road with a good book, but after his second-round 64 propelled him into the lead on Friday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, he capped off the evening in style. Well,
he had style in mind. He did his laundry. The PGA Tour offers laundry service to its players, who certainly needed it after two mud-splattering days at TPC Southwind. But Glover, 43, is a do-it-yourself kind of guy. Plus, it’s not like it made a dent in his finances after earning slightly more than $2.5 million thus...

| November 16, 2013 | Headsman
On this date in 1688, colonial Boston hanged its last witch … or, its first Catholic martyr. Goodwife
Ann Glover was an Irishwoman who had been among some 50,000 Catholics deported to Barbados* by Oliver Cromwell during the 1650s. 1688 finds her with a daughter, desperately poor, as housekeepers in Boston to one John Goodwin and his family. After one of Goodwin’s daughters accused the Glovers of stealing some linen, the daughter got cussed out and — per Cotton Mather’s credulous account of the washerwoman’s devilry — “visited with strange Fits, beyond those that attend an Epilepsy or a Catalepsy,...

“A national reparations policy is a moral, democratic, and economic imperative.†(Danny
Glover before a House Judiciary panel, June 19.)So apparently “morality†and “democracy†are issues of enormous concern for Danny Glover, no? Well: “My heart beat faster!–This is one of the most important moments in my life!â€Â said a hyperventilating Danny Glover while visiting the Che Guevara memorial in Santa Clara, Cuba during one of his frequent red-carpet visits to Stalinist, terror-sponsoring Cuba where he renders honor and tribute to the mass-murdering terrorist whose lifelong craving was to NUKE Glover’s homeland–and whose regime jailed and tortured the most and longest-suffering BLACK political...

Steps away from the U.S. Capitol – a building built by slaves – the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is holding its first hearing in more than a decade on the hot-button topic of reparations for the descendants of Africans brought to America, enslaved and impacted
by discriminatory policies including segregation. The hearing, timed to coincide with "Juneteenth," a date when the last slaves in Texas learned they were free, brings to the forefront the centuries-old debate over what, if anything, is owed. At the end of the Civil War formerly enslaved families were...

Danny Glover says racism is the "foundation of this country" (Celebtardation hurl alert)

There's a reason racism in America is so pervasive and intractable, says actor and activist Danny Glover. Plantation capitalism is woven into the fabric of the country -- "the wealth of this country was built around slavery," (uh no, it wasn't) he told CBS News' Major Garrett, host of "The Takeout" podcast
Glover argues that a factor in the addressing race is that Americans have not given up the psychology around this. "The Missouri Compromise, 1822, is based on due process," he told Garrett. (yeah sure go back 200 years) "That white people have a right to own a slave....

The much talked-about GOP memo regarding the FBI and their conduct regarding a FISA warrant targeting former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page is finally out, and it’s a doozy. The
memo confirmed rumors that Republicans were complaining about how the FBI omitted information from their warrant application regarding their reliance on the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele for Fusion GPS, paid for by the Democratic National Committee. While most of it wasn’t all that consequential, the latter part of the memo contained a bombshell about connections between the Justice Department and Fusion GPS. The memo claims that the Steele dossier...
