****************************

JULY 17, 2022

**  TCU to research its history with racism, slavery and the Confederacy.  (Texas Christian University)

**  14 Confederate street names  changed with Fairfax  City Council vote.  (Virginia  One was Scarlet Circle.  I fail to see what that has to do with the Confederacy.  Maybe Scarlett O'Hara?  Also changed was Traveler Street.  Lee's horse?  Of course, most likely they'll all be renamed for black people.)

**  Fort Liberty:  Divided  views on changing Fort Bragg's name.

**  Luke Combs apologizes for Confederate for Confederate flag use:  'I am  now sware of how painful that image can be.'  (He is a big country star.  Where's he been hiding?  Country Music continues its sell-out.)

**  Why 'Fort Liberty'?  Leaders explain why  they pushed for Fort Bragg's proposed new name.  (North Carolina)

**  Feds seek prison for Capitol rioter who had Confederate flag.  (The fact he was in the Capitol under those circumstances should be enough for prison time.  The fact he had THAT particular flag shouldn't be the main concern.  But, let's face it, it does bug certain groups.  And, if the Jan. 6 folks were rioters, what were the BLMers back in 2020 when they did all that burning and looting.  Were they rioters?  Or worse?)

**  Why Confederate flags are flying in the middle of Charleston Harbor.  (South Carolina.  They fly over Castle Pinckney, which is owned by the SCV.)

What Are Confederate Flags? Canada, Louisiana, St. Louis and Gainesville

The way I look at it is that if we can't fly our flag, then they shouldn't be able to fly theirs:  Pride and BLM.

Why Is It That Everything Renamed Is for Blacks? Watching Out for Those Racist Houses

JULY 1, 2022

**  Only American  flags, U.S. military symbols in Redmond 4th of July parade.  (Oregon.  That means no Confederate , pride, BLM or MAGA allowed.  That's fair enough.  If we can't have our flag, they can't have theirs.)

**  CMA  Fest bans Confederate flag imagery at  country music fest.  (I wonder of that also applies to the other groups mention in the above headline?  So CMA goes the way of NASCAR.)

JUNE 29, 2022

**  CAIR supports dropping Confederate names from Va. county district.  (That would be the Council on American-Islamic Relations.  And, you'd think they have enough of their own problems with their terrorists.  No Confederate ever cut someone's head off on TV or crashed a plane with innocent people into a building with more innocent people in it.)

**  Fairfax could rename Lee Highway, other roads due to Confederate ties.  (Virginia)

**  Controversial  Confederate museum opened quietly  in Columbia during  pandemic.   (Columbia, Tennessee.  Sons of Confederate Veterans.  They did it just to bug the SPLC, BLM and NAACP.)
