Charlotte, Opinion, Crazy U.S. Senate Candidate in Louisiana and Alabama Newspaper

FEBRUARY 12, 2022

**  Charlotte changes more streets named for Confederate leaders.  (North Carolina)

**  Confederate statue  represents racism and should be removed.  (Opinion)

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

FEBRUARY 13, 2022

**  Watch:  US Senate  candidate  burns Confederate flag in political ad.  (Louisiana.  And, he is a black man and a Democrat.  Really surprising.)

**  Alabama Memorial  Preservation Act is a bad law,  and amendment will make it worse.  (Dothan, Alabama Eagle editorial.)

All Removed Confederate Items Should Be Turned Over to UDC and SCV

FEBRUARY 6, 2022

**  Post-Confederate law bars Jan. 6 speaker Rep. Cawthorn from office, challengers argue.

**  Two Confederate pedestals coming down today.  (Sad R.)

**  Bill would return  Nathan Bedford Forrest bust to Confederate group in Maury County.  (Tennessee.  Return to SCV.  Any and all Confederate items should always be turned over to the SCV or UDC, all expenses paid and with funds to place it elsewhere.)

**  Nearly 50 Confederate memorials  removed, renamed, and relocated in 2021:  Report.  (Daily Wire.  They describe the SPLC as a progressive group.  They seem to be a progressive hate group all right.)

**  Eleanor Holmes Norton, Cory Booker seek Congressional Gold Medal for  black Civil War veterans.  These are two black U.S. senators.  I agree, the brave Blacks who served in the Union forces should receive recognition, but the Gold Medal would be a bit much.  Hey folks, the Confederate soldiers were pretty brave too.)

Civil War II: Where's That List SPLC? Fort Cashe? Mississippi

FEBRUARY 4, 2022

**  SPLC report:  Dozens of Confederate  monuments were removed in 2021, but hundreds remain.  (That has to really stick it to dear old SPLC.  Sorry guys.)

And, you know, they still haven't made a lost (they really love making lists, especially anti-Confederate ones).  I'm still waiting for that list that gives stats on the number of BLM riots and damage done during 2020.

**  Rep. Murphy campaigns to rename Fort Benning after Oveido's SFC Alwyn Cashe.  (A very deserving black Medal of Honor recipient.  However, I am hoping not every single Confederate-named fort gets renamed for black people)

**  Statue of racist ex-Gov. Bilbo quietly moved in Mississippi.  (Mississippi governor and U.S. Senator Theodore Bilbo.)

Would That List Make SPLC's Folks Look Bad?  --Old Secesh

Civil War II: Something Fishy in Sad R. Sorry, I Didn't See Many Confederate Flags January 6

JANUARY 7, 2022

**  Richmond, Va., awards contract to remove  Confederate monument pedestals.  (Sad. R.  As I pointed out before, a close friend of the mayor started a company just to remove Confederate stuff and stands to reap a whole lot of money.  Ain't politics great.  Right, buddy.)

**  'That was a blow' Cory Booker  describes seeing Confederate flags on Jan. 6th.  (A black senator from New Jersey.  He didn't like it at all.)

**  Makeshift noose and c(C)onfederate flags told her this was something different.  (Cori Bush, U.S. Rep. from Missouri.  A black woman.   I don't know, but I didn't see many Confederate flags in the crowd.  There were a whole lot of U.S. and Trump flags though.  I also did not see any nooses.  Sounds a bit Bubba W. to me.)

House Votes to Toss Taney Bust, Confederate Statues

From the June 30, 2021, by Kevin Freking, AO.

The U.S. House voted Tuesday to approve a bill that would remove from the U.S. Capitol a bust of Roger Taney, the U.S. Chief Justice best known for a pro-slavery decision, as well as statues of Jefferson Davis and others who served in the Confederacy.

The bill passed 285-10.  A similar bill last year passed the House, but failed to get through the Senate.

Of course, most of the voting was along party and racial lines.  Most Democrats and Blacks voted to remove them.

This is one of the least surprising votes ever to happen in that august body.

Now, personally I don't have a problem with the removal of the Confederate statues since they did fight the Union and as such gave up any right to a statue in their honor.

The sad thing though, is that I am sure most of the statues will be replaced with those of Blacks.  I'm okay with some being of Blacks, but come on, aren't there some whites that are also deserving.

The Taney bust is going to be replaced by one for a black man.

Three Years to Do Away With Those Pesky Confederate Named Bases. Were U.S. Senators Expelled for Not Accepting Lincoln's 1860 Election?

JANUARY 5, 2021

**  Thumbs up:  retiring Confederate generals.

**  Sons of Confederate Veterans opposes flag removal  from seal.  (Williamson County, Tennessee)

**  Activists vow to fight with Walker County Commissioners Court over Confederate monument.  (Huntsville, Alabama.  Again, Blacks have much bigger issues on their plate than Confederate monuments.  Again.  What do you have to do to become an activist?)

**  The Pentagon has three years to strip  Confederate names from  from bases.  Here's what comes next.  (Again, I am in favor of changing the names.  These men fought against the country.  Just DON'T name all the bases after black people.  All costs for name changes should be paid by those who want the bases renamed, however.)

**  Lost Cause marches on, 1861 to now.

**  The senators who were expelled after refusing to accept Lincoln's election.  (Washington Post.  I am kind of surprised to see them saying something like that.  This is going around media, but I found some reasonably believable information of this and they were expelled, but had already given up their seats and left for the new Confederacy and had not officially notified Congress that they had resigned..  I really get tired of all this twisting.)
