I spoke with author Debra Yates about her book Woman of Many Names that talks about "Nancy Ward" her Cherokee ancestor and a prominent spokesman, leader and mediator for her people and a large influence on our founding.
This is a phenomenal story almost totally overlooked by history. Elia Kazan said that one thing he regretted was not making a movie about her.

In the first half hour Ed Bonderenka reviews some of the news with caller Gary from Tucson, who was really in Pennsylvania.
In the second half hour, Ed presents the history of how Thomas Edison and Henry Ford literally changed the landscape of Michigan.
I hope your State's politics get better. Prayers it will work out well. Also I pray you are doing well and improving every day. ❤️
ReplyDeleteSeptember 1, 2025 also known as Labor Day. Labor Day falls out on the first Monday in September. It was originally created by The Labor Movement and is dedicated to American workers' social and economic achievements, (or was supposed to be).
ReplyDeleteInitially, Labor Day was created as a yearly nationwide tribute to the contributions workers have made to the prosperity and well-being of our country and, secondarily, to mark a long struggle for safety and workers’ rights. Labor Day used to just be September 1st, until the lazy federal employees decided they wanted another paid holiday and a three day weekend.
Unfortunately, due to the infiltration of the labor movement by organized crime, Marxists, socialists, and communists, much of the true meaning of this day has been lost, and it has become just another holiday for the nation.
Unions once claimed to stand for the working man. Today, they’re nothing more than extortion rackets infected with socialist rot.
Union bosses don’t fight for workers; they fight for power. And they’re willing to strangle businesses, hijack government, and even sacrifice your children’s future to get it.
Private sector unions? They bleed companies dry with demands that outpace productivity. They kill innovation to keep useless jobs alive. Translation: you pay more, you get less — and they call that “fairness.”
Public sector unions? They’ve turned government into their personal ATM. Politicians bow to them for votes and campaign cash, and taxpayers get stuck with the bill. That’s not democracy — that’s a protection racket.
And how about the dirtiest of them all, the Teachers’ Unions? The worst of the worst. Led by the Biggest Loser in all the Unions. They demand endless perks while presiding over a system that pumps out graduates who are illiterate. They Sexualize classrooms, strip the Parents of their rights, and treat the kids like political pawns. They’re not educating at all, they’re indoctrinating!
You should listen to my interview with William J Federer.
DeleteWe talk about all of that.
