Never knew Buffalo Bill was a progressive (only voice recording)

Listening to him in the video below. Very impressive and extremely articulate. The fact he was very skilled in theater and showmanship reminded me that often very brilliant, creative types like him tend to be liberal.

Buffalo Bill's Wild West and the Progressive Image of American Indians
Jason A. Heppler and Douglas Seefeldt

Between 1870 and 1920, Progressives developed a remarkably ambitious agenda that sought to control businesses, eliminate poverty, purify politics, and transform other Americans in their image. Progressive ideals had their roots among middle–class Gilded Age men and women who transformed their views of the individual, society, gender, and leisure between the end of the Civil War through the turn of the century. Progressives demanded social transformation through a broad array of settlement houses, churches, schools, courtrooms, and legislative halls. Progressives, however, were far from unified in their approach to a broad social agenda. For many Progressives, the Wild West Show was a source of frustration. Reformist Progressives—religious or government reformers—often approached the Progressive agenda through common ways. Among Native Americans, Progressives sought to force Native people to adopt reforms and eradicate their traditional lifestyles. The image of Indians as "savage" and "uncivilized" was commonly held among Reformist Progressives. Enabling Progressives, such as William F. Cody, believed in the reformist ideals of Progressivism but differed in his method. Rather than insist upon compulsory transformations, Cody believed in enabling Indians to come to terms with modernity on their own. Cody never discouraged tribal culture but allowed Native peoples to continue cultural practices both in the arena and behind the scenes. The differing ideologies and images of Indians collided in the Wild West Show, most spectacularly in 1899 in a dispute between the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Wild West Show. The contest over whose Progressive image of Indians would prevail shaped the conflict between Reformist Progressives and Enabling Progressives.

Dupe. Just saw this was already posted.

Steve Bannon BASHES Sarah Huckabee Sanders

The commentary around the 4:40 minute mark is pretty interesting. TYT is now begging to think Trump will win the GOP nomination again and take out DeSantis because they just can't tame the MAGA insanity which seems to be making a comeback in the GOP. All the lunatics are lining up on Trump's side and all the power brokers are lining up on DeSantis's side but it's starting to look like the lunatics will win again.

Latest research is now saying just 1 drink of alcohol a day is bad for you

I have a lot of friends who have 1 or 2 drinks every night. This is for people like them. A couple of drinks a week is probably fine. Old research suggested a glass of red wine every night was good for you. This is no longer supported in the research.


What's behind Canada's drastic new alcohol guidance

By Holly Honderich
in Washington
In Canada, it should be Dry January all year round, according to new national recommendations that say zero alcohol is the only risk-free approach.

If you must drink at all, two drinks maximum each week is deemed low-risk by the government-backed guidance.

The advice is a steep drop from the previous recommendation, published in 2011.

Those guidelines allowed a maximum of 10 drinks a week for women and 15 drinks for men.

The new report, funded by Health Canada, also suggested mandatory warning labels for all alcoholic beverages.

"The main message from this new guidance is that any amount of alcohol is not good for your health," said Erin Hobin, a senior scientist with Public Health Ontario and a member of the expert panel that developed the guidelines. "And if you drink, less is better."

The nearly 90-page report, from the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA), details a variety of health risks associated with what was previously considered low alcohol consumption.
