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

Renaming Mania Continues. Who Pays for It?

MARCH 9, 2023

**  Confederate's name removed from Navy survey ship.  (USNS Maury, named for Confederate oceanographer pioneer Matthew Maury was renamed USS Marie Tharp.  She was an oceanographer as well and, believe it or not, a white woman.  Quite often all renamings are to Blacks.)

**  U.S. Army looking for local artist to design new logo for soon-to-be named Fort Eisenhower.  (It was Fort Gordon in Georgia.)

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

MARCH 10, 2023

**  Board of Supervisors sends Fort Belvoir renaming concerns up to Secretary of the Army.  (Virginia)

**  Fort Polk to be renamed  Fort Johnson Summer of 2023.   (Louisiana.  Sgt. William Henry Johnson, a black World War I Medal of Honor recipient.  He is deserving of the honor, but, again, why do so many bases and things have to be renamed for Blacks?  Then name change is expected to cost $1.4 million for this one.  I say that those who want the name changed should have to pay for it themselves.)

**  Fort Benning renaming ceremony scheduled for May.  (Georgia)

Again, You Want It Renamed, YOU PAY For It!!!   --Old Secesh

USS Chancellorsville No More

FEBRUARY 28, 2023

JANUARY 9, 2023

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

SEPTEMBER 13, 2022

**  Fort Fisher could join Fort Bragg in getting  new, non-Confederate  namesake.  (North Carolina.  They won't be renaming the actual fort, which was built during the war.  They are looking at renaming the Fort Fisher Air Force Recreation Area in Kure Beach.)

**  Erasing Confederate items from U.S. military will cost $62 million, panel says.  (Again, let those who the names changed pay for it.)

**  Panel advises removal of Confederate statue at Arlington.  (Arlington National Cemetery)

The Second Civil War: Alabama, North Carolina, Arkansas, Maryland and Georgia

SEPTEMBER 6, 2022

**  Alabama superintendent fights to remove Confederate school names.  (Montgomery, Alabama.  Three schools still have Confederate names.  I wonder if the superintendent is a black person or white person?)

**  White supremacists  launch threats after bulldozing Confederate monument.  (North Carolina.  Like I said before.  There are idiots on both sides.  The mayor should not have threats made on him, but definitely should be recalled and if that doesn't work, defeated in the next election.  That's the American way.)

**  Fort Smith's request to stop flying Confederate flag will go before Arkansas History Commission.

**  3 Naval Academy name changes  recommended due to Confederate ties.  (Annapolis, Maryland)

MAY 31, 2021

**  Jacksonville's efforts to remove  remaining Confederate  statues.  (Florida)

**  Historic cemeteries want to  leave Confederate flag out for Memorial Day  honors.  (I fully support this.  They fought and risked and lost their lives for their homes and country.)

**  The Confederacy's final resting place.

**  After trying to remove  a confederate (Confederate) statue in Alabama, this activist  received death threats.  (You mean criminal?  However, this black person should not have received death threats for it.  Come on folks at The Grio.  Confederate is a proper name and should be capitalized.)

**  Federal commission  wrongly puts 'Antietam'  on Confederate names  chopping block.  (Antietam is a Navy ship and, hey, the North won that one, not the Confederacy.)

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

JUNE 1, 2021

**  Obelisk honoring Confederate officer torn down.  (That Sad A North Carolina town, of course.  Vying to outdo the Sad R.)

**  Letter:  Confederacy was a noble cause.

**  Witt:  renaming military posts carries a cost.  (Of interest, he says three forner U.S. submarines were named after Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson and George Dixon (the commander of the submarine Hunley).  Also a submarine tender was named the USS Hunley.  Actually, I looked them up as I had never heard of them before.  The George Dixon was the name of a submarine tender, not a submarine.

All of these ships are no longer in commission.)

JULY 28, 2020


**  Weatherford mayor asks county to set a date for removal of Confederate monument.  (Texas.  Violent clashes took place there.

**  Kaine implores senators to ensure measure stripping  bases' Confederate names  remains in measure.  (Virginia Democratic U.S. Senator.)

**  Racial justice turns to Navy ships named for Confederate battles, segregationists.  (That would be the USS Chancellorsville and USS Maury for Confederates and aircraft carriers USS Carl Vinson and John C. Stennis.)

**  Man sues to stop Georgia city from moving Confederate statue.  (Macon, Georgia)

**  There are more deserving  veterans than Confederate Gen. John B. Hood.

**  Local view:  What's 'Un-American' isn't always clear.

**  Texas organizers say local police did not protect protesters.  (Weatherford.  I saw videos of it clash, and it is not clear who needed to be protected from who.  There were bad people on both sides. generally speaking, whenever people protecting statues encounter those who wish to remove them, the protectors are really outnumbered by the protesters.)

The Confederacy Under Attack: Louisiana, Virginia, Texas and the Navy

JULY 26, 2020


**  Protest outside Rapides Parish courthouse to protect  the Confederate monument.  (Alexandria, Louisiana)

**  Crews remove Confederate monument  in Virginia Beach.  (To protect it from BLM, it had been completely covered and a sturdy fence erected around.  You know how much joy it brings BLM to topple another Confederate statue.)

**  Hagedorn a 'no' vote on nixing Confederate statues in US Capitol.

**  Confederate descendant asks King George  to remove monument  that is 'an insult to Black citizens.'  (Virginia.  Poor guy doesn't know his history.  Again, since when do adjectives get capitalized?  Is this the new "African-American" thing?)

**  Weatherford protest   turns violent as hundreds show up to defend Confederate statue.  (Texas.  Looks like the BLMers and their white minions got a little taste of their own medicine.  Hey, those are OUR tactics!!)

**  Opinion:  Historical ignorance and Confederate generals.

**  Racial justice turns to Navy ships named for Confederate battles, segregationists.  (Confederate battles refers to battles won by the Confederacy.)

Asheville, N.C. Reparations. No USS Brooke for Navy, About Those Black Schools

JULY 19, 2020

**  (Seriously, I heard that Asheville, N.C., has agreed to pay reparations to Blacks for slavery.  I'd recommend $5,000,000 to every black person, guys and gals. That'd about cover their pain and agony.)

**  Navy says 'absolutely' no chance new warship will be named after  former Confederate Navy  officer.  (USS Brooke and a new class of frigates.  However, there was already a USS Brooke named for that officer which operated from 1966 to 1988.  It was the lead ship of the class.  John Mercer Brook was a U.S. Navy officer who joined the Confederacy.)

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

JULY 20, 2020

**  Confederate names  don't belong on Montgomery's Black schools, social justice group says.  (Alabama.  I agree with them.  If the majority of a school's students are Blacks, the name should come off immediately.  However, the cost of name change should be borne by those who want it changed.  No public money should be spent.

I also noticed it was Black schools in the headline.  Is this a new way Blacks want to be referred to?  I always thought that Black, when used as an adjective, was not capitalized.  You know, black people, white people.)

**  Trump says protesters targeting statues are trying to erase history in divisive Mount Rushmore speech.

They Are.  --Old Secesh

JUNE 25, 2020

**  Navy ship names could fall  under Pentagon's new diversity review.

**  Confederate flag ban at Marine Corps  opens up wider conversation on racism.

**  Man arrested at Confederate monument protest in Mobile.  (Alabama.  He was committing a hate crime during a demonstration on the base of the former Semmes statue and was arrested.  Hopefully to be charged with a hate crime.  I can't believe that someone was actually arrested for doing something like that to a Confederate statue.  I thought BLMers were allowed to deface with impunity.)

**  Huntsville officials urge county to break 'unjust' state law, remove Confederate statue.  (Alabama)

**  Walmart stops display of Mississippi flag in stores over Confederate emblem issue.

JUNE 17, 2020

**  Loudon clergy and faith leaders group calls for Leesburg's Confederate statue's removal.  (Surprisingly, a photo taken on May 31 did not show any hate crimes sprayed on it.  I guess next they should call for the town's name to be changed.  After all, LEE!!!

**  Loyola Blakefield, McDonough facing calls  to change names,  sever ties with racist past.  (US Naval Academy)

**  Petitions call for  all Tennessee Confederate monuments  to be replaced with statues of Dolly Parton.  (Wait a minute, isn't she a white person?  The monuments would have to be replaced with ones for black people.)

**  Who is the rightful owner of the Mobile  statue?

**  Who are Alexandria public schools named after?  (Three are in line to have names changed:  Robert E. Lee High School, T.C. Williams High School who opposed desegregation, and Matthew Maury Elementary School.  As I have said before, I am for renaming any school that has a majority of black students.)

Where Have All the Statues Gone?, Mobile's Fine, Renaming US Ships and the USNA

JUNE 17, 2020

**  Mobile to pay fine, move Confederate statue permanently.  ($25,000.  Alabama has a Confederate statue protective law.  However, now i would like to see that law dropped in cases of "public safety."  In short, it is tearing me apart seeing what those "people" are doing with impunity to those monuments.  They all need to be removed to places of safe-keeping, at least until such time as those committing the hate crimes against are held accountable and punished.  And we all know that is not going to happen.)

**  Where have statues of Confederates, and other historical  figures been removed?  (Real good question.  New Orleans still have their statues "sequestered" somewhere, probably never seeing the light of day again.  What about the others?)  Good article that gives an update on the situation with various statues.

**  Will two U.S. naval vessels need to be renamed?   (USS Chancellorsville  (CG-62) and USNS Maury (T-AGS-66))

**  As naval academy superintendent condemns racism, a mid's (midshipman) tweets presents a problem.     The academy has already removed a plaque outside Maury Hall depicting a Confederate flag and I'm sure they are in the process of renaming it.)
