JULY 7, 2020


**  Memorial to Confederate soldiers toppled at Capitol Hill's Lake View Cemetery.  (Seattle, Washington.  At the time it was unknown who did it.)

**  Virginia schools quickly drop Confederate names, this time ignoring  calls to preserve 'history.'

**  After 111 years, Salisbury Confederate monument "Fame" is now being moved.  (North Carolina)

**  East Feliciana Parish leaders  won't remove Confederate statue.  (Louisiana.  Wow.  Politicians with a backbone.)

**  Clergy call for removal  of Confederate monument  at Rutherford County Courthouse.  (North Carolina)

**  Richmond removes statue of Confederate Gen JEB Stuart.  (The Statue removal Orgy Continues.  Thanks mayor and governor.)

The Confederate Flag Represents Sexual Violence, Military, the 1958 Law, Congress, Trump and Seattle

JUNE 27, 2020


**  Army leaders  hold off on banning Confederate symbols, renaming installations.

**  Fact Check:  1958 law not related to Confederate graves or monuments but to veteran pensions.

**  Senator Warren  issues legislation removing all Confederacy  commemorations,  rename bases.  Sponsored by 35 other Democrats.  (What a gal, what a party!)

**  Trump protects Confederate monuments, vows 'long prison terms; for vandals.  (Let's face it.  They are not committing vandalism when they do that to statues.  It is a hate crime, plain and simple!!)

**  Seattle mayor announces the closing of 'CHAZ.'   (I can't imagine any mayor of any American city allowing the idiots to take over a section of their city.  What is the "Wimp Factor" here?)

**  The Confederate flag represents sexual violence."  (That's a new one.  However, read the article as it does make a point about one of the horrors of slavery.  Hopefully, this was not the way it was on many more plantations.)

**  Trump or the troops?  Why two top military leaders may be forced to choose.

**  Norfolk group plans  protest for removal of city's Confederate monument.

Statues Toppled And Rioting Continues-- Part 4: And, a "CHOP" Zone and D.C.

June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins  (AP).

In Seattle, authorities were investigating what led to the shooting in the area known as CHOP, which stands for "Capitol Hill Occupied Protest" zone.  It has been harshly criticized by President Trump who has tweeted about the possibility of sending in the military to exert control.

How could any city allow such a thing to happen.  How could the police just stand by and let this happen.  Of, course, the police are just standing by watching the desecration of statues, so I guess this is to be expected.

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

In Washington, D.C., and Raleigh, N.C., it was another night of tearing down Confederate statues.  In the nation's capitol, demonstrators (rioters) toppled the 11-foot statue of Albert Pike, the only statue of a Confederate general in the city (well, other than Statuary Hall in the Capitol).

They then set a bonfire to it and stood around as the statue burned, chanting "No justice, no peace!" and "No racist police."

Again, what we have here is Nazi Kristallnacht and Nazi Book Burnings, 2020-style.

Eight Days to Virginia's Confederate Statue Orgy-- Part 1: Times That Try Your Soul

Just eight days until the Confederate Memorial Protection Act is no more and I am sure Virginia is preparing to have one of the biggest parties in state history next Wednesday.

Those statues will be gone and certain people and their minions will be partying hardy.

The Confederate statue situation is really opening the proverbial can of worms.  It might even come back to bite the ones pushing it.  Remember, all it takes is one black person to be offended before things get done.  Hopefully that is a two-way street.

Here is an article from the June 21, 2020, Chicago Tribune  "Statues toppled across the US in unrest" by Olga R. Rodriguez and Jeffrey Collins, AP.

"Protesters tore down more statues across the United States, expanding the razing in a San Francisco park to the writer of America's National Anthem and to the general who won the country's Civil War which ended widespread slavery.  Really, writer of "The Star-Spangled Banner"?  Must be something ol' Kappynapper had something to do with.   Really, U.S. Grant who beat Confederate General R.E. Lee and ended the war in which slaves received their freedom?  Really?

"In Seattle, violence erupted before dawn Saturday in a protest zone largely abandoned by police, where one person was fatally shot and another critically wounded.

"On the East Coast, more statues honoring Confederates who tried to break away from the United States more than 150 years ago were toppled."

And, what about the statues of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in Oregon?
