Native American groups are now joining the call for reparations centuries after hundreds of tribes had land taken from them by 'land-grab universities and colleges.' An estimated 10.7 million acres of land was taken from 250 tribes following the signing of the Morrill Act by President Abraham Lincoln in 1862. This law converted tribal lands into initial sites for land-grant higher education institutions in many states. Institutions such as the University of Minnesota, which received 94,440 acres of land, and Cornell University in New York that received more than 987,000 acres are being targeted. Cornell, in total, received land in 15 states -

If the Indian tribes have a valid treaty that has been violated, then that's a legitimate issue that they might well win in court. If not, tough rocks. My Scottish ancestors got treated badly, too. So did the Irish and the Italian immigrants. Get over it. You're nothing special, kiss my butt.

Where the Indians are referring to "sacred lands" that were wild and unoccupied and settled by pioneers they can take a hike. But, I'm sorry, where they're referring to signed treaties that were reneged by whites according to the principles of English Common Law which this country imposed and then ignored, they have a case. If there is a sound defense of the those contractual breaches I never heard it nor do I know the remedy since the injured party was awarded money and refused it. Descendants of slaves have no legal justification for redress for many reasons and in any case they are now US citizens with rights and privileges. Which is all the COTUS guarantees you.

My ancestors were treated pretty badly. They had to leave Maryland and head west so they could practice their faith. I don't hold a grudge.

Seminoles own many casinos and all of the Hard Rocks and they share the profits with everybody who has Seminole blood. They're wise in their ways. Seminoles were never defeated by government forces.

Most Americans can conjure up a grievance of some kind based on their ancestry. The constantly whining never enough Blacks were not counting on sharing their permanent victim status with other minorities. It may dilute the money supply. Their reaction to this curve will be interesting.

What BS. Iriquoise, Aztec, Inca were the only extent, long term nation's in America when Europeans arrived. They had held their lands for several hundred years. All other tribes migrated, fought and displaced each other on a regular basis. The Spanish obliterated the Aztec and Inca cultures. The English and French were less genocidal, but the Iriquoise eventual mingled. If you look at history, it was the political factions that formed the Democrat Party that pushed slavery.

How much in reparations have we paid, do we owe, to the French, Spanish, English, Dutch, and Confederates? All were defeated at one point or another by the eventual permanent colonies/states/Nation...and nearly all of the complaining tribes fought on THEIR sides....the losing side. I do think it is a good question of WHY Cornell has some much land in so MANY states.(Likely because it has AG schools in all of them, and the land grants fund those, by it's very nature agriculture and animal husbandry, as well as forestry take up much more land than Math/sciences...much much more than polisci and social studies.)

Seems like to some people (religions, alleged indigenous people), every rock, tree, river, lake, mountain has some "sacred" or religious importance and must be returned or not touched/used by the White man. Doesn't matter if it really is important, the fact that they claim it did thousands of years ago, is enough to get people to jump so they don't seem uncaring about something that might not be true. The white guilt industry is thriving and many minorities / religions / so-called indigenous people know how to use this against them.

Joe Biden has been slammed over one of his advertisements during his 2020 campaign, where he bragged that he'll 'always answer a call from my grandchildren.' The president, 80, has disowned one of his granddaughters - who was born after Biden's son Hunter had a fling with a former stripper named Lunden Roberts. Biden infamously said earlier this year that he has 'six grandchildren' - completely ignoring Arkansas-based Navy Joan Roberts, who is his seventh.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Monday charged a key witness in the investigation into alleged Biden family corruption for taking money from the same Chinese firm that paid Hunter Biden’s businesses and associates millions, according to DOJ records. Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen, allegedly “willfully” failed to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) while working to “advance the interests of China” in the U.S. by brokering the illegal sale of Chinese weapons and Iranian oil to China, according to the DOJ.

President Joe Biden has raised eyebrows after skipping dinner with NATO leaders on Tuesday night and instead heading straight to his hotel in Lithuania. A US official blamed the 80-year-old president's busy schedule over four days and said he's preparing for a 'big speech' on Wednesday when asked why he wasn't attending. Biden, who has only been in Europe since Sunday night and went to the beach on Saturday, had Secretary of State Antony Blinken attend instead. The president's snub came after he told Turkish President Recep Erdogan he would win re-election - and would be working with him for the next five years.

A lot of politicians talk about free speech. But then you wonder if they genuinely even understand the concept.

The Biden team got shut down for their efforts at censorship in a landmark free speech case. But as we saw, they’re still trying to appeal that in court. They got smacked down again on Monday when the judge denied the Biden team’s motion to stay the injunction against the efforts at censorship pending the appeal.
