Civil War II: Fort Fisher, $62 Million for Renaming, Navy Ship Renaming

**  Debate  about Confederate flag at center of funding request in Georgetown.  (Delaware)

**  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.)
