Dems are definitely back – Jackson Lee pushes HR40, a reparations bill that would rev up racial division
January 2, 2019 | Tom Tillison

If there’s any doubt Democrats are back in control of the House of Representatives, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, is quick to jog your memory with HR 40, a bill that would study the issue of reparations for slave decedents.

Though she’s quick to remind you that the bill is not calling for cash payments. Yet.

“I think the more I educate about what the bill is, it’s a commission to study the issue of what was the economic impact of the work of slaves and how does it translate in the 21st century,” Lee said in a recent interview. “And what we want to do is to build a narrative, a story of the facts and, out of that, to be able to assess how we repair some of the damage.”

Great idea Sheila. See if you can come up with some other incendiary concepts before the 2020 election.

Awesome idea, Sheila!!!!

Let's impose a tax on the great-great-great-grandchildren of people who never owned any slaves to finance free benefits for the great-great-great-grandchildren of people who never were slaves!

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

What's it been, 7 or 8 entire generations now since anyone was a slave?

Always reminds me of Mom telling me to quit picking at a scab on a skinned knee or it would never heal over.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

Well there's a new and original idea.

Good to see the rats haven't learned a single effing thing since they've been out of power.

Am I exempt since none of my ancestors came to America until after the Civil War? Somehow I don't think so. I'm white, after all.

The Dems are back? They pumped in record money and massively outspent the GOP, did a bunch of shady 'ballot harvesting,' yet managed to capture only one half of one branch of govt while losing ground in the Senate.

Yeah sure, ok.
