ORCAS ARE FEATURED IN LORRAINE STRIEBY'S CHILDREN BOOK, MAYOR MOLLY MCMOLE MEETS VINNIE THE SHREW

Strieby has lived in Southern California but has traveled all over the world.  Just north
of Seattle is a wonderful channel that looks like glass and she shows this in her book
when I meet my cousin, Vinnie the Shrew.  Vinnie deals in real estate and specializes in
selling and renting ice castles.  In the channel we saw these orcas!

We traveled up the coast and saw the Cascade Mountains, the Golden Gate Bridge, and lots of
things.  We even made surf boards and surfed  off the coast of Santa Barbara and the Gulf of
Alaska.

Your child will learn a lot from this electronic book, sold on Kindle  Vinnie is also
a bush pilot so he flew us to the Anchorage Airport on our way to Rome.

Here she comes, so got to go...Mayor Molly McMole, MMM

FOOTBALL HANDBOOK WITH A NEW TWIST


Lorraine Strieby started watching University football since she was nine.  Her dad would take
her rain or shine, snow and beautiful fall days.  Well, she started  wondering why some  quarterbacks
didn't mix up the game more.  Perhaps throwing a long pass on first down.  Why did so
many receivers miss the ball.

Well, in her new book, FOOTBALL HANDBOOK, I help a losing coach become a
winning coach just by using two new players.  You will never guess who these
two new players are and where did she get them.  Handbook sold on Amazon/Kindle.

Endorsed by two professionals (in another field) but you will get the picture.

TERRIBLE OMISSION OF HISTORY--MR. BILLY LEE, THE MOST IMPORTANT FOREFATHER

COMMANDER AND  CHIEF GEORGE WASHINGTON AND HISTORIANS SHOULD HAVE TOLD HOW IT REALLY WAS--MR. BILLY LEE WAS A WARRANT OFFICER, NOT
A SLAVE AND WAS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT USA FOREFATHER

Do you know what a Warrant Officer is?  The British had them since the 1600s.  They out-rank
any enlisted man.  AND they go by the title of "Mr." for the rest of their lives.

Joseph J. Ellis received the Pulitzer Prize for telling history the way it really was.
This man was a black American Hero, wore a uniform in the Revolution and fought
beside Commander Washington for eight years or the whole length of the Revolution.

Washington made it clear, you referred to this man as MR. and he wrote in one of his
many journals that Mr. Billy Lee received an Honorable Discharge and was a Warrant
Officer.  HE WAS NOT A SLAVE.  HE WAS THE SON OF COLONEL JOHN LEE.

Mayor Molly McMole wonders why Washington didn't make a big deal out of this.
The historians of the day didn't.  The historians of today don't.  I love President Washington
and this Officer could have been the most important  forefather ever.  He carried a carbine
with his uniform and was the most talented horseman of his day, and saved Washington's
life more than once.  Washington loved this man and historians should have studied this
and Washington should have shouted it.  Do you wonder WHY WAS MR. LEE IN SO
MANY PORTRAITS WITH WASHINGTON?  Lorraine Strieby was a portrait painter
and she charged money for her work.  Washington had to pay the artist.  History has failed
to bring this man to light.  A black man, Mr. Billy Lee, was as important or more important
than any of the forefathers.  Reference:  The Ballad of Mr. Billy Lee and the journal
of President George Washington.

Thanks for reading this and you can read more about how important this man was
by reading her book, WHY IS A SPY CALLED A MOLE on Amazon and Kindle
Such an important story today, and I bet very few students, teachers, professors,
and JOURNALISTS  today knows this story!

Fake History

As a history buff I usually don't like pieces of art and sculpture destroyed.  The mural at
George Washington High School in San Francisco should be destroyed.  It would scare me too.
This is an example of false history and full of hatred for our first president.

Ron Chernow  and Joseph Ellis, won the Pulitzer Prize for writing about  President Washington.
Both agree that Mr. Billy Lee was falsely written and depicted by historians of the day and
it still happens.

As it turns out I have Washington's back and too bad he can't tweet today or write a blog
to tell                                               Mr. Billy Lee

who he really was.  Here he poses with one of his mentors, Half King, Tanacharison,
a Seneca who was captured by the French as a baby.  He taught Washington a few moves
that would benefit the Continental Army to beat the British in the Revolution.  This
warrior he would never forget.  Washington even signed papers with his American Indian
name, Conotocaurius.

Here is a "biggie" historians say that Henry Knox was his best friend.  No, his BFF was
Mr. Billy Lee, who was a black Aide, Warrant Officer, son of Colonel John Lee.
He was not a slave, as the historians say.  He rode a famous horse, Chinkling, carried
a carbine, wore a fancier uniform than Washington, which Washington applauded.
Mr. Billy Lee saved Washington's life several times in the Revolution with his carbine.
Washington wouldn't go anywhere without him.  He appears in several Washington's
portraits.  Sometimes he wore a red turban.  Here, the historians deny him his importance.
Washington was trying to say something in these portraits--his love of Mr. Billy Lee.
Mr. Lee rode his horse better than any man and people came to see him ride his horse
at Mount Vernon, after the Revolution.

Washington, at 15,  surveyed the land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio Territory
with his American Indian friends.  I spent 4 years studying Mr. Chernow and  Mr. Ellis
and wrote a children's book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole?, that will hammer out some of
these facts.  It has 40 illustrations and can be bought on Amazon/Kindle.  It has 2,000,000
hits on the internet.  You will meet some interesting characters, Commander in Chief's famous
warhorse, Nelson, and his dalmation, Madam Moose, who was with him during the war
to guard Alexander Hamilton, Mr. Bill Lee, and Washington's horses against wolves.

You will meet a famous spy who was caught carrying papers stating that Benedict Arnold
would kill the three at Fort West Point.  Fortunately, for us, the spy, John Andre, was captured
by low-ranked soldiers at night on a country road.  You will learn what happened.

Mayor Molly McMole Blogs for Commander in Chief Washington; He Needs Help-- Just Like Trump



If Washington Could Tweet to The Schools and City and States' Governments He Would Have to
Blog Instead--too many words so Mayor Molly McMole will do the blog this morning for him

Would you believe that some so-called elites in northern California want to destroy a mural
about George Washington.  Well, of course you do.

Facts:
FRENCH INDIAN WAR (look up the battle of the Monongahela),,,not Mon

George Washington was Commander of the Virginia Regiment at the age of 23 and won the war
with  a Native American (who was kidnapped by the French when he was a baby
by the French, spoke fluent French, and the British called him Half King of the Seneca
Tribes).  His name was Tanacharison and he did reconnaissance for the young Commander.

AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Washington had two favorite aides in the Revolution, Alexander Hamilton, and a black
Warrant Officer, Mr. Billy Lee, who received an Honorable Discharge from Washington,
a pension, and a house on the Mount Vernon Estate.  AND was in many family portraits.
Lee had a horse named Chinkling and was considered the best rider in the Colonies.

People came to Mount Vernon just to see Mr. Lee ride Chinkling!  Since the black
officer (not slave) saved Washington's life several times during the Revolution with
his carbine, who do you think was his favorite aide?  Of course, it was Mr. Billy Lee.
Washington wouldn't go anywhere without him.

So get over it, folks, Washington did things with famous people that you probably
never could do and he respected people who would work with him.  In fact,
Washington wouldn't have been president if had not  been for the three patriots I just
mentioned.

Mayor Molly McMole, aka Lorraine Strieby
PS:  Washington had the most famous horse ever--Nelson, Warhorse, 8 years with
Washington.  Not afraid of gun fire, cannon fire, and Washington made a paddock
right beside his mansion and this was true love!
Mr. Billy Lee
Son of Colonel John Lee

                                                    BLACK MAN WAS FOREFATHER

After the American Revolution all people called Billy Lee, Mr Billy Lee.
Historians of the day did call him Washington's slave.  He was not.  He had an
Honorable Discharge and was a Warrant Officer, carried a carbine, rode a famous horse,
Chinkling.  He was the best horseman in the Colonies.  He saved Washington's life
at least two times.  He did Washington's finances.  He Was Colonel Lee's SON.
Washington signed Lee's Honorable Dischrge.

The title "Mr." is reserved for Warrant Officers.

Historians refused to research this and this is an important fact.

Even today this is is not taught.  For that matter the extraordinary life of Commander-
in-Chief George Washington is not taught in schools now or in the past when I went
to school--Shame.

By the way. the definition of chinkling is caulking used to keep logs together in houses.
Perhaps this name can help heal the false history of these two great men.

The Spy That Didn't Get Away

The Spy That 
Didn't Get Away

Along time ago there was a British spy who was riding his horse along a country road near
the West Point Fort. 

It just so happened there were three low-ranking Colony soldiers that apprehended him
and they found papers in his sock that said that Benedict Arnold was going to capture
Commander George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Mr. Billy Lee the very
next day at West Point.

Needless to say, these soldiers saved the day and Spy Mr John Andre/Anderson was
executed in two weeks and Washington, Hamilton. and Lee became American Heroes.
