LINK Canada didn’t burn the White House. And Dolley Madison needs a fact check, too. - The Washington Post
FACT-CHECK! Canada didn't burn the WH during the War of 1812 (duh); and surprise, surprise, Dolley Madison didn't save the iconic portrait of George Washington! (A French doorkeeper and a gardener did so.) Dolley apparently took the money, i.e. the silver, and ran. Ironically the black man who publically disputed her story, Paul Jennings (a former slave who worked as manservant at the WH) later went to give her aid and succor later in her life when she had fallen on penury.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.We knew that to be true but being truthful is no longer relevant anymore. Canada, France and others of the G6 out of 7 are being demonized relentlessly by 45. Since we are not used to that outside of the US, things are going to get ugly.
