OCTOBER 27, 2022

**  Officials say  Confederate flagpole along I-85 needs to come down.  (South Carolina. I say keep it up.)

Hill's descendants don't get to decide what to do with it.  The city does and we know how the former capital of the Confederacy stands on all things Confederate.  Probably let some black group melt it down.  I will continue with my boycott of that sad city.)
