On April 8, 1913, the requisite three quarters of the State
legislatures kneecapped themselves, surrendering to “the people” their
authority to elect Senators of the United States. The ratification of
the Seventeenth Amendment, which provided for the direct popular
election of Senators, was officially declared on May 31, and with it one
of the final ramparts of the original Constitution fell to the rising
tide of egalitarian mass democracy. Though the Seventeenth Amendment is
by no means the worst or the final depredation upon States’ Rights, it
is indeed extremely significant, a great contribution to the
revolutionization and overthrow of the America our forefathers
bequeathed us; notwithstanding this significance, however, the
Seventeenth Amendment remained largely unexamined until C.H. Hoebeke’s
informative study, The Road to Mass Democracy.
As of June 2020 our legend Ol Remus has gone off air so to speak.
We do not know his identity in real life.
These are the Vintage and recent Articles and Woodpile Reports from Ol'Remus.
I
started these legacy files in September 2018 but left off because I
could not reliably bring across links. and because to a large extent
vintage files were no longer available.
However,
luckily Remus has such a reputation that many of his vintage reports
are available still on other web sites. I bring them across
regularly, as I find them. .
If
you knocked on a door somewhere in North Carolina Ol' Remus would have
answered. . He would look something like the man in the photo here.
Unless you coaxed him, or as we say down here> twisted his arm <, you would leave not knowing you had met a legend.
I
will refine this writing until that legend is read about by many
people. His archetype is as a hero father figure to good men. That is
some accomplishment.
He
is a father figure to grown men. Read Remus anywhere, you will not find
embittered antagonism to the insane socialism and totalitarians of the
left, but an acerbic wry commentary on the state of his country.
The N.C. Department of Administration website as it appeared Wednesday evening.
RALEIGH – Wednesday evening, the website for the N.C Department of
Administration’s Notice of Intent to Establish a Home School was not
available due to volume.
The website around 9:20 p.m. read, “The system is not currently
available due to an overwhelming submission of Notices of Intent (NOI).
It will be back online as soon as possible. We apologize for any
inconvenience as we work to process NOIs as quickly as possible.”
Classical Conversations Inc. CEO Robert Bortins, responding to the site being down, told NSJ, “Families
are uncertain if the public schools will be able to serve their
families needs for school this fall. The pandemic schooling at home gave
them the opportunity to see that they could homeschool, and now they
are choosing to do it intentionally.”
Earlier today, Gov. Roy Cooper delayed
his expected announcement on the plan to reopen schools for the 2020-21
school year, saying his administration needed more time to study the
data, trends, and achieve buy in from parents and teachers.
The website message archived and can be viewed here.
The homeschool movement has grown exponentially in the past two decades in North Carolina, now with more homeschool students than private school students.
The South has lost one of its greatest bards, and Dixie is worse for it.
Daniels recorded arguably his best album, Fire on the Mountain,
at Capricorn studios, the Peach State’s famous recording studio in
Macon. Unlike FAME or Muscle Shoals in Alabama, Capricorn focused mostly
on Southern rock. Daniels understood what was at stake, even in 1974.
He was once interviewed about Capricorn and its mission in preserving an
authentic Southern sound. He spit in his dip cup and said while
important, it might not amount to much.
At the time, that might have been an understatement, but in the current
climate of American stupidity, Daniels was probably right. When “Dixie”
means “racism,” the entire fabric of American society is being torn to
shreds. We’ve already added several Charlie Daniels tunes in this
series, and there are a few more in the piece I linked above, so here
are eighteen more great Charlie Daniels Band songs to pass the time and
remember when. God speed Charlie, and I hope the angels played Dixie as
you died.
Videos posted on social media show parishioners, both black and
white, being harassed and physically assaulted at Grace Baptist Church
in Troy, New York.
The protesters, repeatedly shouting “Black
Lives Matter,” even harassed and blocked churchgoers while they were
with their young children, using a megaphone to scream at the families,
shaming and threatening their parents with calls to CPS, or Child
Protective Services.
