Do You Think U.S. Army Base Names Have Become a Hot-Button Issue? Justin and Taylor Sign In. "Fame" Gone

JULY 7, 2020


**  N. Carolina's 'Fame' Confederate monument taken down.  (Salisbury  Too bad as it was a really beautiful sculpture.)

**  Lawmakers  consider spending $1 million to strip all Confederate names  from US Army bases.  (Here's a better idea.  How about having those people who want the names removed come up with the money and use no public funds.  Hey guys, put your money where your mouths are!!)

**  Change Confederate  military names  to honor those who  fought for America.  (Well, the situation here is that most of them did fight for the United States before the Civil War and did so honorably.  However, since they did fight against the United States I am in favor of removing the names.)

**  It's time for a change, at Fort Lee and other Army posts named for Confederate officers.

**  Confederate statue at Raymond Courthouse  may move after black citizen pleads case to supervisors.  (Hinds County, Mississippi.  What did we say about The Black Rule.  You know, where all it takes is one black person to be offended to start removal proceedings.  It also appears that the entire county board of supervisors are Blacks.  Of course, they could save some time and call in the BLMers and their white minions who would then desecrate the statues with obscenity and topple them.   Problem solved.)

**  Justin Timberlake  calls for 'disgusting' Confederate statues to come down.  (How come he didn't say anything about this before?  Is he just becoming aware  of their existence.  I don't know how much I can believe a guy involved with a wardrobe malfunction.  Maybe he will do a "Silent Sam" toppling.)

**  Taylor Swift can't stand 'racist historical' monuments in Tennessee:  'Villains don't deserve statues.'  Likewise with Justin, except for the wardrobe malfunction.  Confederate soldiers as villains?  Villains usually rob people much like the occupying army in the South did to the citizens there.  Is she talking about Union statues in the North?)

**  Grassely:  Senate would 'probably' override Trump veto of defense bill amid base renaming fight.

**  Trump's racism is blatant, but the culture he defends  comes out of the Civil War  and goes well beyond racial division.  (CounterPunch)
