Winston's tweet which is clearly pandering to the new Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton (who happens to be 25) claims that "the founders of our nation were mostly 20-30 somethings".
In reality - only South Carolina’s Lynch and Rutledge were in their 20s and while Jefferson who drafted the document was just 33 more than 1/2 of those signing the Declaration of Independence were 40 years old or older.
Funny things happen when a theater grip like Winston, embraces history since the "mostly 20-30 somethings" exclude Franklin who was 70, Hopkins 69, Lewis 63, and Sherman 55, which made them by 1776 standards old and well past the average life expectancy of 35.

Samuel Adams of the beer fame was 54, John Adams, 40 as was John Hancock.
Of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence 37 were 40 or older and 17 were 50 or older. The complete list of these patriots is here.
Winston never one to accurately understand facts or figures might want to ask a couple of old (over 40) democrats for advice before tweeting about the value of "young voices" and miligning older Tar Heel voters and our nation's founding "fathers".
Also: Before someone says what about George Washington? No he did not sign the Declaration of Indepence. I'm always surprised at the number of people who assume he did. The truth his George was with his "well armed militia" in New York ready to kick some Red Coat butt!
If Braxton doesn’t have a job then how does he pay his bills?
ReplyDeleteStraight cash homie
I can not imagine anyone voting for Braxton outside of his Davidson and Meck County home boys.
ReplyDeleteBrax is pimpin leave him be. He got his girl to pay rent for him. He got means beyond splainin
ReplyDeleteGon b mayor soon and guv before u know it
Charlotte City Council could it be more of a clown show?
ReplyDeleteCedar! Hamilton and Adams were in their late 20’s!
ReplyDelete1215 neither Hamilton or Adams signed. You could argue that they as well as many others including Washington were still founding fathers. But that would still fall short of "mostly"
ReplyDeleteBraxton just trying to give the new NC DNC Chair a little black magic.
ReplyDeleteHamilton was a black patriot just like Braxton
ReplyDelete9:15, sadly there are lots of people who would believe that because we don’t teach history anymore and many people are just plain stupid.
ReplyDeleteAs to Braxton, we can thank Hugh McColl for this racist disaster.
Please don't vote for this clown for Labor Commissioner! It is bad enough I have to look at his ugly mug during city council meetings whenever he speaks but for the love of God don't make me have to look at him in the elevator!
ReplyDeleteEd Morales was the detective that signed murder warrants on Wes Kerrick. He was recently given an award for great police work and congratulated by command staff.
ReplyDeleteHow much money did Wes collect in his lawsuit from the city?
Kerrick received $179k. The city settled with Jonathan Ferrell's family before the trial and mistrial for $2,250,000 and the FOP paid for Kerrick's defense.
ReplyDeleteHey Rooks pay attention to that FOP fact.
179k is nothing after taxes. I make that much in the private sector.
ReplyDeleteThe entire city government leadership is a soup sandwich. It’s only going to get worse, and just wait for the woke policies about pronouns, and inclusion bathrooms. Glad I got out, not a day too soon. Those with pensions, and able to leave should. The writing has been on the walls. If you don’t see it, you’re as dumb as they are.
ReplyDeleteWes was lucky he got out of that mess like he did. It was a good shoot and Cooper knew it was but his political goals used the ACAB theme to get elected. He could not be any more anti LE
ReplyDeleteLucky?
Delete179k ain’t shit
Is Braxy gonna be on the citizens review board?
ReplyDeleteI’d bet you a Black and Mild….
DeleteHey, which division is the best to work in? I want to get some dope work experience.
ReplyDeleteDeath is part of life. The officer that died this week at the airport looked way too old to be working. I’m not sure if he was getting a pension AND a second paycheck at the airport, but that has led to his early demise. Is the money really worth your life, though?
ReplyDelete@1504 the only place working dope is Vice. The city and the COC doesn’t think we have a dope problem.
ReplyDelete721, I was talking to a guy that said the “Americans with Disabilities Act” is killing this place. You can’t fire any of these people and they get promotions, sometimes. All you can do is move them around the place.
ReplyDelete8:04 reply:
ReplyDeleteThis place hires criminals and people from the surrounding community. The schools are the worst in the state. Fuck a disability, they can’t even read Cat in the Hat. Make your bed and lay in it!
True shit, not one member of brass has become even a manager in the private sector beside Bellamy. The cream rises to the top.
ReplyDeleteLaw enforcement, typically does not integrate into the private sector well. Attitude problems being a big issue. The guard and security companies will hire command to supervise rent a cops, a few specialized positions in corporate but once the LEO burns up all their contacts they are downsized and a new retired LEO comes in.
DeleteWe are trying to fire a security guy(former cmpd) at my company right now. He has a gut that hangs to his knees and walks with a limp.
Delete0837hours, u must bee speaking about Juicy?

DeleteChip, I think you will find the video in the above link interesting. Can you post this story? It should be shared far and wide.
An illegal immigrant ran his car overtop of another car in downtown Salisbury. After a couple of minutes, he then drove his car off the top of the victims car and took off. Salisbury pd wont charge the guy even though they know who and where he is because they say ice has a do not detain order. That issue should have nothing to do with this crime. Apparently mainstream media wont touch it either, even though there is video proof. The video and victim's story is included in the above link. Also, please enlighten us as to why the media wont cover this. Purposefully allowing this kind of criminal behavior is dangerous.
^^^whoa imagine illegal aliens breaking the laws in America? Time for me to go play hoola hoop and watch MASH.
ReplyDeleteThe point is not that they are breaking laws. The point is they get a free pass to do whatever they want and they know it. Therefore, crime will only get worse. How much worse is what you should imagine.
DeleteBasically, don’t live around minorities
ReplyDeleteLawana called cops terrorists and she still oversees government budgets and expenses. That should frighten any taxpayer or cop in this area..specially west side.
ReplyDelete@1543 gets it! What happens when Braxton gets mayor? Who is he grooming?
ReplyDeleteI don’t know many guys that still work at CFD/CMPD. Sounds like it’s just replacements.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you at CFD, they are headed for the door just as SOON as they’re able. Leaving in droves.
