FEBRUARY 18, 2023

**  Tennessee Historical Commission denies  request to remove Confederate memorial from Centennial Park.  (Nashville.  Does this mean we might have won one?  What will NAACP, BLM and SPLC say about this.  Bet they won't like this decision.)

**  CAIR welcomes Louisiana House passage of bill dropping Confederate  holidays.  (Council on American-Islamic Relations.  With all the appalling things some Muslim people do it is amazing that they would get involved with this.  Perhaps they should clean up their own house.  After all, what religion are the Taliban?)

**  Heritage and  honky-tonk:  Confederate Railroad front man Danny Shirley stands his ground.  (They come under fire from Blacks and "Wokers," but won't change.  More power to them!)
