Dartmouth Restoration on Schedule for 250th Anniversary

The above picture is a picture of the Dartmouth one day after the acquisition by St. Augustine Tea Party, Inc. on March 7, 2014.

Pictured is the Dartmouth in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in historic district of St. Augustine, Florida on March 8th. It is this date that the restoration of the Dartmouth is set. This is the image of the boat that went to Washington in December 2009. The original developer of the Dartmouth, Glenn Lord, played a pivotal role in shaping the iconic imagery of the Tea Party Movement itself by his creation. The boat with tea boxes on the deck tells the story of the Sons of Liberty’s 1773 act of defiance that would start the war for independence in 1776.

Seventeen years of exposure to the elements and the deliberate neglect during the last two years of forced captivity and inactivity has created a need for a complete restoration.

There were numerous welding failures due to rust. Steel substructure was re-welded and then the rust was neutralized with OSPHO. After that the steel was sealed with Kyrlon paint.


The same technique as used with the original siding was used again except that it is ¼ inch thicker and pressure treated Southern Pine. The special milled siding was pre-painted on all sides before installation to help preserve it.While there are many details left to complete the restoration, the major processes are complete. The restoration crew is confident that the Dartmouth will be ready for public display on the Nation’s 250th anniversary.

The January 6 Conspiracy

By Roderick T. Beaman

Well before Election Day 2020, Democrats were beginning to panic. There was a strong possibility that their nominee, Joseph Biden would be defeated. The protective wall they’d carefully built around him could crack and his mental deterioration might become undeniable.

They began plotting what they would do if Donald J. Trump won re- election. They came up with the idea of an uprising before his second inauguration. They would blame it on the MAGA, Republicans and Donald J. Trump. It could destroy all of them.

All they needed would be some violence that they would provide and if he ordered a crackdown, they could showcase it as another example of Trump persecuting his opponents. The plot was hatched and planned by many Democrats along with Antifa, BLM and other far left wing organizations.

If Biden were designated the winner, as he was, they could still use the plan to discredit Trump and his supporters. The plot was ready to go into high gear when Donald J. Trump urged his supporters to go Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021 and peaceably demonstrate against the election. The right to assemble for the redress of grievances is guaranteed & in The Constitution but, unfortunately, it played perfectly into their hands. Leftist plants agitated, goaded & even led some of the demonstrators into violence & claimed it was an insurrection, a complete lie that even the most superficial evaluation would conclude.

The leftists blamed MAGA and conservatives then initiated a cover up that has been successful but is beginning to unravel. Expect multiple arrests during the coming weeks.
