harry laver presentation on the 240th anniversary of washington inns crossing the delaware. an extraordinary moment in american history and for a treat from losses in. new york city so harsh where was that general washington and his other senior commanders considered burning new york city congress forbade continental congress forbade the burning of new york city. the current congress would like to reconsider that. they faced the hessians, of course perhaps the most orderly, disciplined, perhaps the most brutal soldiers in the world at the time in the late 18th century, with the army and militia maybe the most literate, but the least orderly and ill equipped army in the world at the time, as george washington himself said, men accustomed to an unbounded that would be us cannot brook the restraint of good order. government of an army that army in retreat through new jersey. defended, by the way, by alexander hamilton and his artillery. they covered the retreat that was before alexander hamilton learned sing, by the way. but successfully they retreated into pennsylvania. and th

i had been delaware state treasurer, came out of the navy, moved from california to delaware at the end of the vietnam war. i got an mba and went to work and got elected state treasurer at 29. six years later, i was running for congress. we have one seat in the house of representatives. i needed a right-hand man who could not just keep up the pace of the campaign, but actually get behind my plymouth horizon and drive it all over the state, to be my driver and my body man in a campaign for u.s. house of representatives. when jim souls, professor of political science who had run unsuccessfully for congress in 1972, i think, he asked, when i was state treasurer running for the congress, said to one of his students, larry, how would you like to be tom carper's driver? larry was pretty excited about that. he said, who be honest, i don't know who tom carper is. jim explained that i was the state treasurer running for delaware's at-large seat. lo and behold, larry said yes. he dropped out of school for a while. he helped me get my campaign into high gear. we were fortunate to win. larry went f

, not as the delaware valley but across the world. he reported from the vatican to cover the death, for example, of pope paul 6:00. he travel -- pope paul vi. he covered the return of american hostages from iran. reported from russia, lithuania after the fall of the soviet union. he covered the oslo courts from israel and the west bank. he traveled to cuba to cover pope john paul ii and then went to argentina to report on the life of pope francis. perhaps what has allowed jim to hold the trust of his viewers while engaging his audience night after night is that no matter where he's traveled, no matter where he's traveled, he understands what matters to his viewers most can be found right in our own backyours at community events, -- backyards, at community events, houses of worship, by talking to our neighbors. so it's with great pleasure that i urge that we rise on behalf of delaware's congressional delegation to honor the exemplary career of jim gardner. i want to say jim, to you and your family, scon grat -- congratulations on a job

here is an example of an immigration restriction in delaware in 1797. this act requires and i'm going to read from it any old persons infants maimed lunatic or any vagabond or vagrant persons who want to settle in the state. they're required to be examined by government offices officers who are to determine their capacity for labor. if these newcomers are found to be unable to labor. or likely to become unable to labor in the future right likely to come to rely on state assistance. they are ordered to be sent back to where they came from unless they can pay a surety so a sum of money for their future support. it's important to know that immigration restrictions were not specific to delaware. so nearly all colonies and then states had similar restrictions. some of them were established as early as the 17th century. as you think about this exclusion you might notice the importance of labor here to the distinction of disability and to the distinction of who could settle and who could not. you might also notice how the categories of age class and disability

new york post story, if we go back the story was derived from a laptop that hunter biden left at a delawareomputer repair shop. it was turned over to rudy giuliani and steve bannon i believe was involved. so the key question that the insert in, or the question they got in that article is with president biden himself had any knowledge or any involvement in hunter biden's business. there were emails to suggest that he did know, he was introduced to these people and he had said on the campaign trail that he had nothing to do with this business dealings. they freelanced the decision. i think that's the more interesting piece of this. they were referring to twitter, internal policy about how to deal with packing materials. there's a difference between the first amendment and twitter policy, right? obviously you would hope twitter policy guided by the first amendment that they are a private company. what you saw in this conversation was it seemed like there was this intent to suppress information and how did that intent fit into their policy? that's what they kind of freelanced. they found out th
