** Fort Polk Progress changes name to Louisiana Armed Forces Alliance. Fort Polk likely to be renamed for William Henry Johnson, a black hero from WW I. He is deserving, but please do not rename all the forts after Blacks.)

** Black drivers who saw this Confederate flag in London, Ontario, have a message for homeowner. (Canada. Yet, we have to look at BLM signs, flags, tee shirts all over the place. That offends me. But, I don't count because I'm white. Everybody knows only Blacks can be offended these days.)

** Who are the Sons of Confederate Veterans? (The Nation. A bunch of neo-Confederates. A very negative piece.)
** Crews may have found 1887 time capsule in Lee statue base. (Sad R. The governor had said the pedestal would remain, but has since reversed that decision. Well, he finally did something good. Thank you governor. That eyesore (that he lauded) should have been taken down the same time as the statue removed.)
****************************
DECEMBER 18, 2021

People could buy a brick for $50 in memory of any citizen or veteran and it was placed on a sidewalk around the county courthouse. A money raiser for the Williamson County Historical Society.

** Virginia universities reckon with Confederate symbols. (Here something else they can do. If they were established before the Civil War, they need to close down because of the shame of slavery. Since the name Virginia was given while slavery was still in existence, the name Virginia must be removed from its name. It will now be The University in Charlottesville and Commonwealth University in Sad R.)

Richmond police chief and mayor up in arms about it. Which is kind of funny considering what they have allowed to happen to Confederate monuments in that city.)
