and porter is going to write multiple letters to burnside updating burnside about the campaign and burnside will then forward them on to the authorities in washington general in chief henry hallock secretary of war stanton and president lincoln, and i'm not going to quote all of these you can find these pretty easily in books, but one of the things that porter says in one of his letters written from bristow station, he says, i hope mack mcclellan is at work and we will soon get ordered out of this it would seem from proper statement of the enemy that he was wandering around loose, but i expect they know what they are doing, which is more than anyone here or anywhere knows. so again porter now in official correspondence this time is insulting john pope and indicating that pope has no idea what he is doing. porter then goes on to tell burnside at the end of one of these letters. he says most of this is private, but if you can get me away, please do so make what use of this you choose so that it does good. burnside forwards the entire messages without cutting out the private extracts between p

i called the nurse and she said you wanted her washed look and burnside, she was in a hurry, glean. she had not had a shower since july. she had patches of hair stuck together on her scalp. i don't know if legally and were washing her hands. they needed to be washed the she had to run the ot, she has also seen evidence of the results of what family say has been the neglect of their loved ones. this picture shows someone's fall that 2 years off. they entered a nursing care facility with a full set of teeth. staff had no time to brush them. we've been told this woman's sofa boons from her own saliva when it was left without being cleaned. others have shown this how dirty rooms were with family, so shocked gently cleaned them, themselves, families callously don't blame caregivers themselves. they know that nursing homes was to really understaffed, and it's not possible to provide the care needed without the means that are also needed. but for now, what they want is these investigations to lead somewhere to meet more protection, better care what they consider precious their family. just

the nra, which started in 1871 by general burnside, he was a union general in the civil war, not a confederate general, a union general. he started the nra as a organization about the safety and the scientific use of a firearm. it was not about gun rights. it was about gun safety. that the nra was about. i can't believe, i believe the civil war is proof positive that you can't really, in today's world, general sherman went through georgia like a knife through butter. i'm sure the people of georgia had the same armaments that sherman had. but they couldn't slow him down. the best way to not be attacked by your government is to elect people into government who don't turn against their own citizens. host: another view of the nra from a person on twitter, the pact between the gop and nra was a swamp of money for political power. it was a disaster for the general population especially after half of it was steered into armed cults by fears and lies spread by the gop. it's always about the money and we don't matter. your response? guest: both on that and the color, the nra was a different group many

because he didn't want to pick up after burnsides and hookers leaving. now that pretty well expresses the opinions of lots of the high command of the army of the potomac. and when you stop and think about it. that poor army from the peninsula campaign in june of in july of 1862 to second, manassas to antietam to fredericksburg and to chancellorsville had not won an engagement against that enemy of theirs in any of those. nothing and yet the casualties in those campaigns continued to climb. he mcclellan lost some 16,000 on the peninsula. there were at least 16,000 casualties in the army of the potomac alone at fredericksburg and a similar number in chancellorsville. and as we all know by march the lincoln administration and congress managed to get through a draft why because who would want to join the army? nobody it has been nothing but a slaughterhouse. and there's been nothing gained. and so on the eve of gettysburg the white house was concerned about riots breaking out in the streets. and then suddenly a victory is given to them in the largest land en

on the burnside headquarters and across the street there is a property and that is where that was taken on the antietam field. they have identified exactly where that was. >> we can go back and find it. thank you. yes, you sir. >> two items. one is, it is interesting how people always try to associate one president to lincoln. i remember when jfk was assassinated, they had to invent people in the cabinet to show how close these two people are and they would comment on that. also, perhaps, looking at george w. bush. because both were seen as full idiots and warmongers and tyrants by the democrats when they ran. and and the word that followed it. this is an interesting point and fdr was thought by many to be a lightweight dabbling in something in which he was not trained. and roosevelt when he ran, you can see him striving down, he is handsome, wealthy, has a harvard degree and has the world by the tail. five years later, he's a polio victim dependent on everyone else and is entirely changed in his worldview, i think. as for criticizing presidents, everyone who sat had gotten these attack
