Future U.S. president Andrew Jackson kills Charles Dickinson in a duel

Former Congressman Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson were prominent lawyers and  plantation owners in Tennessee. They were also known for their dueling  proclivities; Dickinson was renowned as “the best pistol shot in all of Tennessee,”  according to The Commonwealth of Kentucky Web site, while Jackson would allegedly  fight in more than 100 duels over his life (most likely an exaggeration).

Dickinson had accused Jackson of cheating on a horse race bet, deriding him as a  “coward and an equivocator.” He then insulted Jackson's wife, Rachel, publicly  shaming her as a “bigamist,” since Rachel’s earlier divorce had not been complete  by the time of her new marriage. Jackson then challenged Dickinson to a duel, and  Dickinson chose pistols.

On May 30, 1806, Jackson and Dickinson met at Harrison's Mills on the Red River in  Logan, Kentucky. At the first signal from their seconds, Dickinson fired. Jackson  received Dickinson’s first bullet in the chest next to his heart. Jackson put his  hand over the wound to staunch the flow of blood and stayed standing long enough to  fire his gun. Dickinson’s seconds claimed Jackson’s first shot misfired, which  would have meant the duel was over, but, in a breach of etiquette, Jackson re- cocked the gun and shot again, this time killing his opponent. Although Jackson  recovered, he suffered chronic pain from the wound for the remainder of his life.

Jackson was not prosecuted for murder, and the duel had very little effect on his  successful campaign for the presidency in 1829. Many American men in the early  1800s, particularly in the South, viewed dueling as a time-honored tradition. In  1804, Thomas Jefferson’s vice president Aaron Burr had also avoided murder charges  after killing former Treasury secretary and founding father Alexander Hamilton in a  duel. In fact, Rachel’s divorce raised more of a scandal in the press and in  parlors than the killing of Dickinson.

On to today's challenges

Declassified Flynn Transcripts Contradict Key Mueller Claims Against Flynn
"Newly released declassified transcripts of call transcripts and summaries between  Flynn and Kislyak contradict key claims made against Flynn by former Special  Counsel Robert Mueller."
Translation: Mueller lied. His team lied. The allegedly mentally ill Adam Schiff(D)  lied. His committee lied. The MSM lied. They all lied, lied, lied about Russia,  Russia, Russia collusion, and Trump world. And they will face ZERO consequences for  their sedition.

The Flynn–Kislyak call transcripts are routine, brief, and without the word  “sanctions.” @DevinNunes (AUDIO)

"Two female track athletes in Idaho are urging a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit  intended to once again allow biological males to compete in women’s sports."

And just like that, CNN suddenly cared about private property rights.
