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.

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.

GEORGE WASHINGTON, a Man You Probably Don't Know





                                 George Washington with Half King

My great, great, great, great, grandfather was a Master Spy in the American Revolution
so being in the present we need to firmly hold on to the gift that our Founding Fathers
earned and shed blood for.

George Washington had a special talent.  He drew people towards him and these
people were also Founding Fathers. Let us not forget them; besides the English
and French, he had friends (fellow soldiers) that were Iroquois and Seneca, Native Indians who fought with him in the French and Indian War.  His mentor was Tanacharison, Half King, who
spoke French and did reconnaissance for the young commander.

By the way, he had reddish brown hair and a long ponytail.  He buried Commander
Braddock near the Monongahela River which was probably Virginia at that time.
He was at first a major in the Virginia Army and later the Commander.

Another Founding Father was Mr. Billy Lee, the black son of Colonel John Lee,
who sometimes wore a fancier uniform than Washington, was the best horseman
in the colonies and did the finances for Washington.  Saved Washington's
life a couple of times.  Washington loved Mr. Billy Lee and after the Revolution
the visitors, which were many, wanted to see Mr. Lee ride his horse, Chinkling,
through a nearby virgin forest.

All these men were Founding Fathers.  Remember Washington, on his famous
horse Nelson,  fought with his men in the American Revolution.  He was
a leader and later founded and was the First President of George Washington
University.  I believe that this man, George Washington, has been overlooked
by our schools, and overlooked by time.

If I were a descendent of Mr. Billy Lee, and the Eastern Native Indians, I would
be very proud of my ancestry and this includes the slaves.  These heroes
gave us a wonderful gift, The United States of America.

Proudly written, Mayor Molly McMole, Why is a Spy Called a Mole? George Washington

George Washington Had Two Mentors and Sidekicks That You Should Know


 How can anyone predict when the world will end?  We have a great country and the schools
don't teach American History.  George Washington was the father of our Country--right?
However, there were two men who were his mentors and sidekicks.

The first man was Half King of the Senecas and Iroquois who was kidnapped by the French
so he spoke fluent French.  He did reconnaissance for him in the French and Indian War
and taught him to fight like the American Indian.

Mr. Billy Lee was not a slave but an important Military Aide to Washington in the
American Revolution.  A son of Colonel John Lee did the finances for Washington,
fought in the Revolution with a uniform sometimes fancier than Washington and
rode a horse named Chinkling and was the best horseman, along with Washington
and his horse, Nelson, in the Colonies.

These men, one black, and American Indian, and Washington were important in our
Country's beginning.  Please look them up.

These hokey pokey news feeds that predict the end of the world in 12 years.  How
would they know?  Every time we take a breath of oxygen we exhale carbon dioxide.
We learned this in first year biology in high school.

Just thinking, why don't we remember these things.

Generals Today Do Not Fight With Their Units.  Did Commander-in-Chief, George Washington?


The answer is now "No."  However, the first Commander-In-Chief did.  We sometimes
forget that our first President fought with his men, first with the English in the
French and Indian War and then in the  Revolution with his favorite aide,
Mr. Billy Lee,  and his famous war horse, Nelson.

He was creative and learned his fighting skills in the French and Indian War.
His main mentor was Half King Tanacharison, head of the Senecas and Iroquois
who spoke fluent French.  Half King hated the French because they kidnapped
him when he was a child.

Washington was also responsible for his men.  When he crossed the Potomac
and Delaware Rivers he was always last on his raft with Nelson, Mr. Billy Lee,
and his dalmatian, Madame Moose, who protected the horses from the wolves.
He wanted to make sure his men made a safe crossing.

Generals today have many ways to fight and protect their men but they don't
have to be in the battle.

Who Was Half King Who Helped Washington in the French and Indian War?

In writing her  book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole, she discovered a Native American
who fought with the English and was a mentor to Major George Washington in the
French and Indian War which the English won with the help of Half King, Tanacharison.
For some reason, Native American leaders were called Half Kings and that is
what Tanacharison was called, Half King.

Washington surveyed the country from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio Territory when
he was only 15  years old--he knew the territory.  However Half King knew the area
even better and he spoke French.  They met up in the French and Indian War and
Half King who was head of the Seneca and Iroquois, here again he was obscured
in history.  Half King was captured as a boy by the French so he spoke fluent French,
but hated the French.  He was grateful to be fighting with the British and the young
Major Washington.  Washington learned  how to fight like an Indian and Half King
was his mentor and did reconnaissance for young Washington.

Some  historians think the French and Indian War was more important than the
Revolution.  It helped define the colonies and Washington was angry with the
British because he could not be appointed to a higher position than Commander-in
Chief of the Virgiania Colony that included West Virginia and part of Pennsyvania.
The British would not appoint Washington to a higher position in their forces;
therefore, alienating Washington.  This would be the British downfall.

Remember there was no West Point Academy, it was a Fort.  Commander Gist
and Half King Tanacharison were his mentors, and Washington learned his
military skills from both men, but Tanacharison was probably his most valuable
teacher and Washington was a brilliant student/leader.

Strieby blogged about the black man, now it is about the Native Indian, and
of course, Commander-in-Chief Washington.

Remember Tanacharison was head of all the Seneca Tribes, including the
Iroquois on the East Coast..  He spoke fluent French and knew the territory
better than Washington and Gist.

Again, three men who birthed our Nation.  Sadly two are overlooked by the
historians of the day and still are not taught this in schools.
