He established a shipping business in Wilmington, North Carolina in 1760 and, by the time of the revolution, had amassed a fortune. He elected to the Provincial Assembly in 1766 and served there until it was dissolved by the royal governor in 1775. He was appointed to the Committee of Correspondence, elected to the Provincial Legislature, and sent along to the Continental Congress in 1775. Hewes was known as a tireless worker in committee and the leading expert on maritime concerns. In 1776 he signed the Declaration of Independence and placed his ships at the service of the Continental Armed Forces. He served the Congress as the Secretary of the Naval Affairs Committee until 1779, when he fell ill. He died at age 50.

Today’s conversation is about a poll that came out about workplace harassment stats. Dave mentions some of the highlights. They talk about what is the right way to communicate in the workplace. Dave urges people to use common sense and if you wouldn’t say something in front of your mom, sister or daughter, probably not a good idea to say it at work. Bob asks Dave about the minimum wage increase in Portland.

They talk about Portland Mayor Ethan Strimling and how he loves the banter and Ray agrees that he “thrives” on it.

Part 9:  Ray talks about the Democrats not talking “truths” and points to Nancy Pelosi’s claim and how insincere her call for prayers seem to be. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claimed that President Trump had a “very serious meltdown”. Ray goes down the trail of tears that the Democrats have been traveling to get Trump out of office and the lies that they and the media have used to help in this plot.

Part 10:  Ray continues with his thoughts on the quest to “get” President Trump.
