Could a DNA analysis company get any answers from hair that is that old? Wouldn't it be wild if it could be shown that he had any black heritage way back in his family tree....boy would that upset Obie and Mooch.

If you ever visit Winterthur Museum in Delaware, ask to be shown the locket which contains both George and Martha’s hair. It’s displayed in a case in a hallway but the museum is something like 9 floors so someone will need to guide you to it.

Washington freed all his slaves at Martha's death. He also refused to sell ANY of his slaves or split up families. He was in serious financial debt in the years between the end of the war and his Presidency, but he refused to sell them to relieve his debt.

#1, no DNA in hair. If the hair is pulled out and has the root, there might be cells attached that could have DNA, but if just snipped....just dead keratin, like fingernails, no cells.

While it doesn’t take a rational viewer long to determine that CNN is a network heavily biased to the left, it’s not so much that they are prejudiced against the right as much as it is their arrogance in billing themselves as a “trusted” news source.The term “Fake News CNN” became popular under former President Donald Trump, who frequently called the network out for its reporting, and never has their credibility been as wavering as it did once CNN President Jeff Zucker embarked on a Trump-hating agenda.

The Biden administration and private firms are reportedly developing a ‘vaccine passport’ that will allow Americans to return to pre-pandemic activities like travel and shopping by showing proof they’ve been inoculated against COVID-19. The ‘vaccine passport’ is considered key to meeting the administration’s goal of emerging from the lockdown and returning to a semblance of normalcy this summer. It will in all likelihood be available for free through smartphones. Vaccinated Americans will be able to flash a scannable code while those who do not have phones could print out a code on a piece of paper, according to The Washington Post.

President Biden called on governors and local leaders to reinstate coronavirus-related mask mandates during a White House briefing Monday, before announcing several other vaccine-related directives. "I’m reiterating my call for every governor, mayor and local leader to maintain and reinstate the mask mandate," Biden said. "Please, this is not politics, reinstate the mandate if you let it down." The call follows actions taken by several states to lift mask requirements earlier this month and ease business restrictions, such as Texas and Mississippi, which drew sharp criticism amid early-stage vaccine rollouts and the spread of highly transmissible coronavirus variants.

In January Judicial Watch filed a petition for writ of certiorari (“cert petition”) with the U.S. Supreme Court asking it to uphold a court ruling requiring Hillary Clinton to testify under oath about her private email system.

George Floyd popped “what are thought to be two Percocet pills” before his fatal encounter with police, the lawyer for ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin said at his murder trial Monday. Defense lawyer Eric Nelson said during opening arguments that Floyd’s pals told police that they had trouble waking him up after he took the drugs on May 25, 2020, the day he died while in police custody. “Mr. Floyd’s friends will explain that Mr. Floyd fell asleep in the car and that they couldn’t wake him up to get going,” Nelson told the jury. “They thought police might be coming.”
