DECEMBER 16, 2020

**  Court dismisses  appeal over Winston-Salem Confederate monument's removal.  (North Carolina)

**  Cuomo signs bill banning sale of Confederate flags.  (Governor of New York.  Okay, now how about sale or display of all hateful BLM flags, posters and banners.)

**  The VA has a hospital named for a slavery supporting Confederate doctor.  And, it won't change, Wilkie says.   (Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond, Va.)

Civil War II: California, a Picnic in Georgia, Smith Statue and Dixie Highway in Florida

February 11, 2020

**  Students at Riverside King High School pose with swastika, Confederate flag.  (Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California.  I hate to have this happen.)

**  Lauren County Confederate group responds after Dublin VA stops annual cookout.  (Dublin, Georgia   The local SCV has had a free picnic for veterans at the Veterans Administration there.  Now the VA says they can't do that unless they leave their Confederate symbols at home.)

**  Lake County protesters say they were kicked out of a meeting for holding signs against Confederate statue.  (Florida   The statue of General Kirby Smith which once stood in the U.S. Capitol  Building is to be relocated to the Lake County Historical Museum.  The Kirby statue is to be replaced with one of Mary McLeod Bethune, a Florida civil rights pioneer.  If the Kirby statue is inside, I don't see what the protesters are upset about.)

**  Tensions surface at Franklin County School Board meeting.  (Virginia.  One board member, a black woman, is still upset that the board refused to prohibit Confederate flags on clothing.)

**  'Dixie Highway' may be renamed in Broward County.  Now public can weigh in.  (Florida    Some are calling it a racist name.)

The Second Civil War: Confederate Graves "Vandalized" in Fla and the Mississippi State Flag

February 8, 2020

**  VA says Confederate group can't bring flag, Nazi gear to Dublin hospital.  (Georgia   Why would a Confederate group have Nazi gear?   Why would a Veterans Administration ban the Confederate flag?  Confederate soldiers are considered American soldiers.)

**  Confederate soldiers' graves  believed to be vandalized in Alva cemetery.  (Florida   Again, "vandalized"?  Looks like the Confederate-haters strike again.  It has happened there before.)

**  "Chatham for All" event to focus on removal of Confederate monuments, symbols.  (Pittsboro, NC)  They will have speakers from Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill.  Guess whose side these speakers will be on?)

**  Confederate name change.  (Fairfax, Va.   Robert E. Lee High School.)

**  Will Mississippi state flag be redesigned?  (Planning on having two designs for state legislators to vote on by 2021.  Neither one will contain the Confederate flag.  I say they should put it to a vote before changing it or keeping the current one.  And, why does the state continue to fund the state colleges even when they refuse to fly the state flag?)
