It is not complicated at all. He won the Civil War and freed the slaves. He battled the KKK and signed into law a civil rights bill in 1875 that was as good as the Civil Rights Act of 1864. However, the Supreme Court struck that law down in 1883 -- delaying civil rights for 81 years.
He married Julia Dent in 1848. Her father owned slaves. Grant's father, an abolitionist, refused to attend the wedding. Dent gave Grant a slave, William Jones, 35, whom Grant later freed. He could have sold the slave for $1,000. He needed the money. He just could not bring himself to do so.
AP meanwhile downplayed the story of the 21st century: Hunter Biden's laptop which revealed Biden's criminal corruption. This allowed the installation of Joe Biden as president. AP is not a news service. It is a liar and protector of terrorists.
ITEM 3: RT reported, "Ruble hits two-year high against euro."
The story said, "The Russian currency had previously dropped to historic lows amid sanctions placed on Moscow in response to its military operation in Ukraine. In early March, the ruble plunged to as low as 150 to the dollar but has since nearly doubled in value."
That's Russian propaganda.
Our sanctions are working fine. Just ask Jen Psaki.
Besides, Disney will pay the bond because it promised to. They may have to issue new bonds, but the bottom line is Disney's taxes go up and cover that debt. On top of that, Disney will have to follow environmental rules and other state regulations.
The fiasco is Disney's not Florida's. Disney fired its new PR guy after 3 months. DeSantis's spokeswoman is still on the job.
Disney should not have threatened retribution against Florida lawmakers who voted for the Don't Groom Kids law. Don't want none, don't start none.
ITEM 7: An actor with a minor recurring role in a space adventure TV series a half-century ago slandered Carlson. I think I put tacky Takei in his place.
You have never had a mob surround your home threatening your wife and kids while you were at work on a Friday night, you pompous, self-righteous bigot
ITEM 8: Post Millennial reported, "Antifa militants dressed in black bloc attacked a group of Republican volunteers in Portland, Oregon on Saturday.
"The attack happened around 12:00 pm on the corner of 3rd Ave and Main during a rally for Republican Mayor Stan Pulliam of Sandy, Oregon who is running for Governor."
The police hid because Portlandia is a fascist state that allows thugs to beat up dissidents.
ITEM 9: Harper's Bazaar reported, "Duchess Meghan's animated series will no longer premiere on Netflix.
"The streaming giant has cancelled plans to premiere the project created and executive produced by the Duchess of Sussex as part of her and Prince Harry's landmark production deal. Tentatively titled Pearl, the show would have followed the adventures of a 12-year-old-girl who finds inscription from a variety of influential women from history."
Netflix is bleeding money and subscribers so fast that it could no longer keep the Kaepernick of Royalty on its payroll.
Maybe Blockbuster is hiring.
ITEM 10: Blessed are the peacemakers because...
Noam Chomsky, in an interview this week, says "fortunately" there is "one Western statesman of stature" who is pushing for a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine rather than looking for ways to fuel and prolong it.
ITEM 11: Fox reported, "A New York group that exposes child-sex predators online busted what appears to be a local TV anchor who was allegedly at the scene to meet with what he thought was a 15-year-old boy.
"The group, which goes by 607 Predator Hunters, posted a video to YouTube that appears to show Zach Wheeler, an anchor at NBC affiliate WETM-TV, at a store in an attempt to meet with the underaged boy."
Wheeler asked, "Why do you guys do this to gay and lesbian people?"
Looks like there's a job opening in Elmira, New York, for a news anchor.
The media is pretty easy to figure out. Just presume they are lying. It lowers your blood pressure.
ITEM 13: The Wall Street Journal reported, "Disney’s Clash With Florida Has CEOs on Alert. State’s pushback against the company shows the risks executives may confront."
Exxon dropping BLM and rainbow flags two weeks ago said it all. Nice of WSJ to catch up with bloggers.
ITEM 14: Just the News reported, "Durham unmasks alliance between media, Democrat dirt diggers that triggered false Russia story
"Court filings show plan to introduce evidence that Clinton campaign flooded media with 'unverified derogatory information' on Trump."
He has the emails. This may get good.
ITEM 15: The Daily Wire reported, "The man accused of murdering retired St. Louis police Captain David Dorn as he responded to a pawn shop robbery in the summer of 2020 will stand trial July 15.
"Dorn, 77, was killed in the early morning hours of June 2, 2020, after a burglar alarm went off at his friend’s pawn shop, Lee’s Pawn Shop and Jewelry. On the night of Dorn’s death, four St. Louis officers were shot and dozens of other businesses were damaged or burglarized, the Associated Press reported."
This was amid the BLM riots.
Black Lives Matter, the media cried. The media lied. The media was silent when he died.
ITEM 16: Post Millennial reported, "Republicans in Congress have authored a bill to discontinue the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board as soon as possible.
"The Ministry of Truth Termination Act was written by Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert."
A free press would rally behind Boebert, but we have none.
ITEM 17: The New York Post reported, "Actress Amber Heard has been upset with the coverage she’s getting amid her court battle with ex-husband Johnny Depp — so much so that she switched to a new public relations team ahead of her highly-anticipated testimony next week.
"The Aquaman star ditched crisis PR firm Precision Strategies Thursday, after getting frustrated with the press she’s received since the bombshell defamation trial kicked off last month."
Maybe she first should have tried not to be a gold-digging witch.
ITEM 18: The Daily Wire reported, "Nearly 20 cannons found in a Georgia river are believed by archeologists to be from British ships from the time of the American War of Independence.
"During an excavation job, workers uncovered 19 cannons that researchers believe to have been sitting at the bottom of the Savannah River, in Savannah, Georgia, for roughly 240 years. Experts believe that the cannons ended up on the river bottom after the ships were scuttled by the British around 1779."
ITEM 1: An ABC-WaPo poll shows Americans trust Republicans on crime, the economy and inflation. 
Look over there. U.S. Grant owned a slave.
