In 1810, a group of enterprising Anglo-Americans moved a 1-ton meteorite from North Texas to New York City
The Saga of Texas Iron
The Red River Meteorite
A long time ago in a land not very far away a large rock fell out of the sky and landed just a little shy of present-day Albany, Texas. The rock stayed there for untold centuries, an object of reverence for generations of Native Americans. The Comanche name for it translates into Medicine Rock.
Anglos called it Texas Iron.
Indian trader Anthony Glass and his band of like-minded comrades were the first
white men to lay eyes on Texas Iron. Indian agent John Sibley, at the
invitation of Taovaya chief Awahakei, sent a trade expedition to the Taovaya-Wichita
villages along the Red River in 1809.
Glass and his men were motivated by tales of wild horse prairies and vast
quantities of silver ore deposits on the Southern Plains. Glass paid attention
when he was told by a native Spaniard named Tatesuck, who had been captured by
the Wichita as a small boy and was now a distinguished warrior, of a large rock
that was like iron, yet it did not rust. Glass immediately thought the rock
might be platinum, its value priceless.
In late October, Glass and his men, after a two week journey, first laid eyes
on Texas Iron. “We approached the place where the metal was; the Indians
observing considerable ceremony as they approached,” Glass wrote in his
journal. “We found it resting on its heaviest end and leaning towards one side
and under it were some Pipes and Trinkets which had been placed there by some
Indians who had been healed by visiting it. The mass was very little embedded
in the place where we found it. There is no reason to think it had ever been
moved by man.”
That was about to change. All the starry-eyed traders had to do was move the
rock from where it was to a place where it could be sold to the highest bidder.
A year after the initial foray into the Red River country, two factions of
Glass’s original expedition set out independently to retrieve the rock.
The group that got there first also got there with the least; they had no way
of transporting a ton of rock to the Red River, much less floating it on the
river to Natchitoches. They managed to roll it under a “flat stone” and cover
it with some grass before setting out to get some horeses and tools.
A second group, led by George Schamp, Ezra McCall and some other traders,
convinced the Taovaya and Comanche to sell them the big iron that would not
rust. Schamp’s group eventually found the rock where the first group had hidden
it and made a truck wagon to which they harnessed six horses. In such a manner,
they began the laborious process of hauling it to the Red River for transport
downstream.
As if moving an almost immovable object (it later weighed out at just over a
ton) wasn’t hard enough the men found themselves afoot after all their horses
were stolen en route to the Red River. They secured more horses, possibly from
the same Indians who stole theirs to begin with, and made their way to
the Spanish
Fort crossing on the Red River.
The traders constructed a sturdy raft from a large walnut tree and floated
Texas Iron down the Red River to Natchitoches. There it stayed for the better
part of a year, a marvel and a mystery. Sibley sent it to New Orleans for an
appraisal but no one there could say for sure what it was or wasn’t. Sibley
then sent it to New York for a proper assessment by experts.
Texas Iron’s arrival in New York corresponded with a notion that these rocks
people were finding but no one could identify were not of this world, that they
came from outer space: meteorites. Benjamin Silliman confirmed that this was
one of those rocks, mostly iron and nickel, and practically worthless.
The disappointed traders never truly believed it, even as they sold it for a
pittance to mineralogist George C. Gibbs, who loaned it to the New York
Historical Society. The collection was given to the Lyceum of Natural History
in New York, where Gibbs was also a member, in 1829.
Gibbs died in 1833. His meteorite came close to being put in the ground at the
same time. His widow happened to be passing through Central Park one day when
she saw some Irish laborers digging a huge hole. She asked what they were doing
and was shocked and dismayed to find that the Lyceum, vacating its headquarters
on the edge of the park, was preparing to bury her husband’s meteorite; they
didn’t know what else to do with it. She rescued it and presented it to Yale
University in memory of her husband. It’s still there today, where it’s known
as the Red River Meteorite.
Back in Texas, it’s still called Texas Iron.

600 is the max score on the Army Combat Fitness Test. Since October, 66 women soldiers have scored 500 or above, while 31,978 men soldiers reached that platform. That’s 66 women total.
On pass-fail, 7 percent of men soldiers failed their last test, while 44 percent of women soldiers failed.
Sergeant Major of the Army Michael A. Grinston says the Army “has made efforts to better prepare soldiers for the test, such as adding athletic coaches to all brigades.” A brigade has 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers. Military.com did not say whether the sergeant major meant one coach or several.
Women soldiers failing Army physical performance tests has been an issue since December 2015, when then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter directed all military positions and jobs open to women.

Kosovo PM Revives Plan to Sue Serbia for Genocide
From Reuters
“U.S. President Joe Biden will rely on ally countries to supply the bulk of the metals needed to build electric vehicles and focus on processing them domestically into battery parts, part of a strategy designed to placate environmentalists, two administration officials with direct knowledge told Reuters.”
Biden’s plan includes TechMet of Hot Springs, Ark., as an integral piece.
“The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, part of the U.S. government that invests in overseas development projects, is TechMet’s largest investor."
“The firm (TechMet), which is an investor in battery recycler Li-Cycle Corp, has now raised nearly $133 million between its two rounds of funding. TechMet plans to use the funds to continue investments in mines and other projects that produce metals used to make electric vehicles.”
So, TechMet is still in the money-raising part of its plan, despite its largest investor being the U.S. Government?
TechMet hopes to raise $250 million with which to buy earths or metals from mines overseas and then ship those products to U.S. plants to produce electric vehicles.
And the U.S.
International Development Finance Corp. is “investing” American money, why? If
the plan is such a good deal, why are American investment firms not putting
their own money into this operation?

Back in the late 1970s, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram hired an older reporter. I do not remember his name, nor the newspapers he had worked for before the Star-Telegram.
The reporter pitched an idea to editors for a series on Mexican families who indentured themselves to be smuggled across the border and then work a specified amount of time for the farmer or rancher who brought them north.
I was a state and local news editor at the time and sat in on some meetings. I knew in outline form the series the older reporter was preparing, but none of the details. I did not disbelieve his stories; certainly indentured servitude was a possibility for illegals at the time, and why wouldn’t a family exchange work for entrance into the United States? The family worked, got paid, and the kids went to school, just like other kids.
At the meeting in which editors discussed the reporter’s stories, one of the upper-level editors asked the reporter, “Are you making this up?”
Her disbelief was evident. That was the 1970s, and involuntary servitude no longer existed.
Hers was a liberal, upper middle class belief. More than a belief, her opinion was a certainty. What she believed was the way the world was, and her more important beliefs were of the way the world should be.
Once in a while you will find unicorn and rainbow Texans, and when you do, their existence is more surprising than finding the same beliefs in non-Texans. We birth Texans are supposed to be grounded in the reality of nature and of people.
It has taken a long time for
people to sort-of believe, but slavery exists today in the United States. In
each state. Maybe even in every county.
Maybe in your town.
Slavery isn’t called slavery today, though. For some reason, slavery has been cleaned up and is now called human trafficking. Maybe that fits the ears better. Maybe people don’t want to admit the existence of slavery. Maybe, even, the more liberal and Progressive parts of society have laid a claim on slavery and determined the word applies only to black people, African-Americans, some of whose ancestors were owned by white Americans. That makes more sense. A self-proclaimed victim cannot share victimhood with another group. Politics demands a different term for other enslaved people.

‘UW-Madison
alumni threatened to pull support if campus moved embattled Lincoln statue,
emails show’
From Legal Insurrection
As mobs tore down statues
all over America last summer to protest the death of Minneapolis man George
Floyd at the hands of police, University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor
Rebecca Blank’s inbox filled up with messages from angry alumni demanding she
keep a statue of Abraham Lincoln on campus.
Between June and November, Blank’s office received 192 emails, 80
percent of which supported keeping the UW’s landmark Lincoln statue on Bascom
Hill, according to a review of the emails obtained by The College Fix through a
public records act request.
“I will cease immediately
all donations to the university and its student organizations” if the statue
were to be removed, wrote one alumnus, adding, “I will also cancel my season
tickets to the UW football and men’s basketball teams. And finally, I will
engage in a very public and messy campaign to encourage my fellow alumni to do
the same.”
“Should you give in, that will end my support of the UW, much as
that action would break my heart,” wrote another emailer. “My donations are
done,” wrote another. “Only shutting off the money flow causes University
leadership to listen.”
“My wife and I will immediately discontinue our support of the Wisconsin football program and indeed will have spent the last dollar we will ever spend in the city of Madison,” emailer Greg Sinner wrote. “Moreover, we will become vocal advocates for taking the same actions among our friends and associates, many of whom are Wisconsin season ticket holders.”
The Orgens said a good Samaritan jumped in to help the family.
“A gentleman in the car behind them actually got in between, and he showed a gun to get them to get away from us, and they took off,” Eric said.

Something I read today pinged my “Hang on a minute” meter. A respondent on a gun blog said he chose not to get the COVID vaccine. That’s fine. His choice. But then he said, “I simply do not trust a rushed vaccine that is not properly FDA approved and in some cases do (sic) not work.” I have met many of the blog readers and respondents. Twenty-something of us in two shooting sessions put a lot of lead down range at a nearby gun range. These are “stay out of my life” people. And, people who have in the past objected to FDA rules, regulations and testing, and the time it takes to get a new drug in circulation, on the market. So to now object to “a rushed vaccine…not properly FDA approved” seems counter-intuitive. His opinion, my opinion, equal weight.
Sure, and these lyrics could be considered calling for the overthrow of somebody's government, but my family left there a couple hundred and fifty years ago.

On April 27, 2021, President Biden boldly signed an executive
order raising the minimum wage for federal contract employees to $15 per hour.
According to the accompanying White House fact sheet, this “ensures that
hundreds of thousands of workers no longer have to work full time and still
live in poverty.” In pursuing this laudable goal, the president has effectively
made the federal minimum wage for unskilled contractor workers $31,000 a year.
My question is why is the contractor slinging hash in the mess
hall making nearly 60 percent more than the private who is willing to risk
everything for his country standing in the chow line? Currently, a new enlistee
in the armed forces makes $1,650.30 per month, or roughly $19,803 annualized —
an $11,400 difference. This works out to about $9.52 per hour — only if you
make the fantastical assumption that new soldiers work only 40 hours a week. It
takes a service member serving in the pay grade E-4 with three years of service
to make the kind of scratch the dishwasher makes. To fix this, not only does
pay for new enlistees need to increase by more than 57 percent, but the raise
needs to be applied across the board. You cannot have privates making more than
sergeants. Or sergeants more than lieutenants.

The feel-good story of the year,
By KCAL/KCBS
Staff | May 13, 2021 at 12:28 AM EDT - Updated May 13 at
12:28 AM
CORONA, Calif.
(KCAL/KCBS) - A California mother was so angry at a man she found trying to
steal her car that she punched him in the face then chased him down the
sidewalk in an incident that was caught on camera.
Samantha Raahauge’s 2007
Honda Civic has a crumpled hood, a power window that won’t roll up and a DIY
body paint job. She’s been working on getting a better car for herself and her
daughter, but for now, the Honda works.
So, the single mother
says it infuriated her to walk out of work and find a stranger in the front
seat of her car, jamming a shaved key into the ignition and trying to steal it.
“Look at my car. It’s
s-----! And I work hard! And this [expletive] is out there stealing s-----
cars, knowing that the person who owns that car probably doesn’t make a lot of
money. It just hit me wrong,” Raahauge said.
Raahauge was so angry she
punched the would-be thief in the face, right through her broken car window.
“I don’t know if it was
God’s fist or Thor’s hammer, but it was a good one,” she said.
The thief was so scared
he climbed out of the passenger’s side door, but Raahauge chased him around the
car and all the way down the sidewalk.
“I basically just went into full beast mode and
said, ‘You ain’t gonna run away from me now,’” Raahauge said.
Police say by the
time they arrived on scene, the suspect was long gone.
Raahauge says she
cares less about the $500 car than her daughter’s prized possession that was
inside of it. Her daughter takes jiujitsu classes, and her first customized Gi,
a training uniform, could have been stolen.
“I had her first Gi
that she’s ever had that was custom in the car. I think that’s the only thing I
would have been really upset about,” Raahauge said.
The mother says she
doesn’t even really care if the thief is caught after she stood up for herself
and punched him.
“Like I said, I’m
good. I did what I did. No regrets,” she said.
Police are still searching for the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to call the Corona Police Department.

and started laughing.
"If you write this to me, I'll find you and we'll see

the head of Chechnya promised.
Tumso Abdurakhmanov, a blogger, has
commented on Kadyrov's statement in his Telegram channel. "The head of a

written.
Earlier, Kadyrov had already threatened the authors of
negative materials about Chechnya, as well as social network users who comment
on these materials; in particular, in November 2019, he did it at a sitting of the republic's government.

"AS PART OF the Biden administration’s crackdown on domestic extremism, the Pentagon plans to launch a pilot program for screening social media content for extremist material, according to internal Defense Department documents reviewed by The Intercept, as well as a source with direct knowledge of the program.
"An extremism steering committee led by
Bishop Garrison, a senior adviser to the secretary of defense, is currently
designing the social media screening pilot program, which will “continuously”
monitor military personnel for “concerning behaviors,” according to a Pentagon
briefing in late March. Although in the past the military has balked at
surveilling service members for extremist political views due to First
Amendment protections, the pilot program will rely on a private surveillance
firm in order to circumvent First Amendment restrictions on government
monitoring, according to a senior Pentagon official."

Well, now, isn’t that just wonderful. Used to be, what a soldier said after a few beers off duty was his business. Of course, way back when, presidential administrations did not suspect their uniformed hirelings of harboring ill intent, and I doubt, seriously doubt, that military personnel today have any intent to overthrow the government. Soldiers take seriously their oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Soldiers today don’t have time for that "extremism" sort of thing, and each has a God-given right to think as he/she wants about the present government in power.
You have to wonder, too,
since the Pentagon is so busy looking for “domestic extremism,” did the
eavesdroppers miss three Fort Campbell soldiers who sold hundreds of guns to
