Are these UDC members the white supremacists who put up all those racist monuments BLM has warned us about? How about those Confederate veterans above them? Some mighty desperate and despicable folks if you ask me.

Civil War II: Editorial, Trump, Veto, Kentucky, Georgia, School Name, Sad R.

DECEMBER 17, 2020

**  Tulsa World (Oklahoma) Editorial:  Trump should sign bill  that allows more  appropriate choice of who we want to honor with military base names.

**  Trump says he will veto $740 billion defense bill, breaking with Republican-led Senate.

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

DECEMBER 18, 2020

**  Jessamine's Confederate statue sits near site of lynching.  Time for it to move.  (Nicholasville, Jessamine County, Kentucky)

**  Cobb students continue push to remove Confederate general's name from school.  (Wheeler High School, Georgia)

**  Richmond Highway to replace Confederate street name.  (Sad R.  Will rename Jefferson Davis Highway.  Big surprise.)

About That Defense Bill. The Talbot Boys, Alabama and Trump

NOVEMBER 19, 2020

**  Forts named after Confederate generals could be a sticking point for NDAA.  (National Defense Act)

**  Sen. Inhofe is blocking  efforts to rename Army bases  that honor Confederate  generals, Democrats say.  (Sen. Jim Inhofe (R. Oklahoma)

**  Military pay raise at risk in dispute over naming bases with Confederate names.

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

NOVEMBER 20, 2020

**  After rejection, advocates continue push to remove  Confederate Talbot Boys statue.  (Talbot County, Maryland.  Earlier this year, the County Council voted to keep it.  Talbot County is only 12.8% Blacks.  Of course, if they put it to a vote by the people it will be kept.)

** Confederate names, and Trump's veto threat, the only roadblock to $740 billion  defense bill.

**  Commission votes to remove Confederate monument.  (Brunswick)

**  Fence place around  Confederate monument at Marshall County Courthouse.  (Marshall County, Alabama.  For protection against BLM hate crimes.)

Personally, I support renaming the Army bases.  These men did fight against the United States.  However, I don't want all of the bases renamed for black military members.  I also think that those who are so driven to demand renaming should be made to pay for it.

What Is to Become of the Key West Mallory Square Sunset Celebration?: Florida, Alabama

 SEPTEMBER 11, 2020

**  Trout Creek Fish Camp preps for arrival of Confederate monument.  (Florida.  Arrival of Loring monument from St. Augustine.)

**  In Key West, there's a push to rename -- not tear down -- Confederate monument.

**  Of course, there is the sunset celebration that takes place every night at Mallory Square which is named after Confederate Secretary of Navy Stephen Mallory.  Will it become the Tubman or Douglass Square since most everything now will have to be named after Blacks?

**  Third protest over Confederate monument  and flag takes place in Albertville.  (Alabama.  Tensions were hot.)

**  Fla removing Confederate monuments, symbols faster than almost any other state.  (And they used the Been verified site, not that infamous list put out by the SPLC.  Only California, Maryland and Oklahoma have removed more in recent years.  Florida has removed 30% of its monuments, including 11 since Floyd's death and 57 still remain.)

Who Wants This?: Rename the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial in DC and Take Them Off Mt. Rushmore


JULY 16, 2020


**  Photos:  Wilmington area Confederate monuments.  (North Carolina)

**  Congress to start debate on annual Defense Bill.

**  Letter:  Don't stop with Confederate monuments.  (Wants all offensive monuments removed, including Columbus and Pilgrims.  The Washington and Jefferson monuments should be renamed.  And Mt. Rushmore should have Washington and Jefferson removed or altered.  A photo accompanied this of the removal of the Confederate statue at Libby Hill in Sad Richmond.  There was hardly a spot on it not covered with hate crimes.

**  US Army seeks to remove 'divisive symbols' from military bases.

**  You can't claim memorials should come down if you don't know anything about them.

**  The affair at Elk Creek.  (Battle of Honey Springs in Oklahoma.  Wow, real Civil War history.  Not this revisionist/BLM stuff.)

**  Kentucky  county votes to keep  Lee statue at courthouse.  (Calloway County.  Wow, how did this happen?  How'd a group of politicians develop a backbone?)

**  Raptors, Rattlers or Royals?   Richland students can have a say  in name of new mascot.  Texas.  The old Confederate one has been removed.  They were the Richland Rebels.  Also changed are the Richland flag that looked like a Confederate flag, the dance team named  the Dixie Belles and the spirit team named Johnny Reb.

It's All Got to Go.  --Old Secesh

Demonstrators Demand Stone Mountain Confederate Carving Be Removed


JUNE 29, 2020


**  Mississippi Legislature  passes bill to eliminate the Confederate symbol from state flag.  (I still think they should have let the people decide on popular vote.)

**  Ole Miss basketball player who transferred to  Iowa State 'proud not to represent' Confederate flag.  (A lot of loyalty with him.  Don't worry, Iowa State does not have a Confederate flag, nor the state either.)

**  38 descendants of Confederate  soldiers sue St. Augustine over removal of Confederate monument.

**  In Wilmington neighborhood, division over streets named after KKK  grand wizard,  Confederate generals.  (North Carolina.  In Pine Valley neighborhood, there are at least 17 streets named after generals in the Confederate Army, including Nathan Forrest.)

**  The Confederate monuments are down in Wilmington --for how long we don't know.  (North Carolina)

**  Enid neighbors living the struggle over Confederate symbols.  (Oklahoma)

**  Demonstrators march on Stone Mountain demanding removal of Confederate carving.  (Georgia.  Hopefully the State of Georgia will put the Stone Mountain Carving under heavy surveillance before BLM and their white minions use explosives to bring it down.)

Keep BLM Away from Stone Mountain.  --Old Secesh
