FEBRUARY 23, 2023

**  When Fort Benning becomes Fort Moore, it will 'honor Army family.'  (Georgia)

**  Editorial:  End Confederate Heroes Day and don't stop there.  (Houston Chronicle.  So, they join the Waqshington Post andNew York Times in Confederadication.)

**  Florida still celebrates 3 Confederate holidays.  (So?)

Civil War II: Renaming Streets and Desecrating Confederate Graves

JANUARY 12, 2023

**  Alexandria moves to speed up renaming of Confederate streets.  (Virginia.  Washington Post article.  Don't you just know the Post is all for this.)

**  Alexandria aims to rename three Confederate-honoring streets every year.  (Of course, they will have to be renamed for black people.)

**  Confederate gravesites desecrated  in Surry County, sheiff's  office says.  (North Carolina.  Two were arrested and charged  with felony disturbing a grave marker.  How about that, it wasn't a case of vandalism as the Post would call it.  And two people were arrested for it.)

Confederadication: Jacksonville, Virginia and the Washington Post

DECEMBER 26, 2022

**  Jacksonville City Council President  says Confederate monuments will come off 'back b urner.'  (Jacksonville, Florida.  I understand that crime in Jacksonville is on the rise among black folks.  Looks like that should be more important of a thing to address than removing Confederate monuments.  But, NO!!) 

**  Parks in Fairfax's Franconia District scrap the Confederate 'Lee' name.  (Virginia)

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

DECEMBER 28, 2022

**  Art at Capitol honors  141 enslavers and 13 Confederates.  Who are they?  (Washington Post.  And two guesses what this newspaper wants to do with them.  First one doesn't count.  Was this another of the infamous SPLC lists?)

DECEMBER 12, 2022

**  Groups in favor of removing Confederate statues holding rally Tuesday.  (Jacksonville, Florida)

**  Last publicly-owned Confederate memorial in Richmond comes down.  (Virginia.  The A.P. Hill statue and grave.  And it couldn't have come soon enough for me.  That place needs to be avoided.  I sure know that I will not set foot in the place in the future.)

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

DECEMBER 13, 2022

**  Which Confederate  statues are gone in the DMV -- and which remain?  (Washington Post.  This newspaper is so full of hatred for anything Confederate.)

Renaming Those Army Bases, a Couple of 'Wins', About That Albert Lea, Minnesota

DECEMBER 2, 2022

**  How Army bases in the South were named for defeated Confederates.  (New York Times.  By 1917, Army policy stated that all bases that housed Southerners should be named after Confederate commanders.  An interesting account of all nine bases whose names will be changed.  Personally, I support changing the names because they did fight against the United States.)

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

DECEMBER 3, 2022

**  Virginia  county poised to take the unusual step to preserve a Confederate  statue.  (Washington Post. Matthews County.   That must be killing that newspaper's soul.  A win for our side.)

Is You Woke or Not Woke? About that new Emmett Till Statue in Greenwood, Mississippi , Russia and the Confederacy?

OCTOBER 21, 2022

**  Mississppi town with Confederate monument gets  Emmett Till statue.  (Greenwood, Mississippi.  As it should be.  His death should never be forgotten or forgiven.  What was done to him was horrible.  I'd even like to see his home in Chicago preserved and turned into a museum.)

**  Russia is suffering from the same problems that doomed the Confederacy. (Washington Post)

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

OCTOBER 24, 2022

**  Did US Confederates flee to Brazil where descendants still celebrate Confederacy?  (Snopes   Yes)

Removing Confederate Holidays, Adding Black Holidays and Some More Unbiased Reporting from the Post

**  Preliminary work begins on Caddo Confederate monument removal.  (Louisiana)

**  Straw ballot on Confederate monuments  fails to win Jacksonville City Council support.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  There was to be a straw vote on it in November.  But. let's face it.  Those who want the statues removed know that if it is put to a people vote, they will lose.)

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

MAY 27, 2022

**  Work to scrub the Confederate stain from military bases is off to a good start.  (Washington Post.  Nothing like some good old-fashioned non biased reporting, right Post?)

The Second Civil War: Renaming Fort Bragg, Juneteenth, Home Costs?

**  Proposed new name for Fort Bragg to be announced on Tuesday.  (North Carolina.  I'll take odds the name will be of a black person.)

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

MAY 24, 2022

**  A Confederate street name could cost you.  (Washington Post.  Your home could be worth 6% less if it is named after a Confederate.)

**  Group wants voters to decide on fate of Confederate monuments in Jacksonville.  (Florida.  In other words, let the people vote on removal.  Of course those wanting them removed won't go for this because about every time it is put to a vote, the decision is to keep them.)

--Old Secesh.

It's the Civil War All Over Again

MAY 7, 2022

**  Our nation is still divided along  the battle lines of the Civil War.  (Time magazine.)

**  Confederate gets new name.  (Confederate Motors now to be called Curtis Motorcycles.  Personally I think the name should be changed to Tubmans.)

**  Confederate symbols  falling faster as U.S. wakes  up to past wrongs.  (Reuters)

**  Hundreds of Confederate memorials persist in Georgia, report says.  (Believe it or not, this report is from the good folks at SPLC.  Now why would they be saying stuff like this.  Oh yes, racist.)

**  Richmond begins removing Confederate pedestals.  (Good ol' Sad R. again.  And the mayor's buddy gets richer for removing them, like he didn't already make enough on the statue removals.  Still smells fishy to me.  Oh yes, this from the good ol' Washington Post.)

Sad R. Does It Again. African Art Replaces Confederate Statue, Maryland and Stone Mountain

JANUARY 25, 2022

**  Unanimous vote:  Richmond Confederate monuments going to black history museum.  (Another reason to boycott Sad R.  I can't imagine a worse place for our heritage to go.  There will be no respect there, no matter what the good old Post has to say.)

**  Simone   Leigh statue of African deity installed at site of former Confederate monument in New Orleans.  (And tell me, what does this have to do with me.  I worship no African deities.  Simone Leigh is a black artist.))

**  Opinion:    How many Marylanders fought for the rebels  was overstated.  (Again, consider the source, the Washington Post.)

**  Stone Mountain  leaders grappling with business losses at the park's resort hotel.  (Georgia.  It's that Confederate thing, you know.  And, of course, that virus thing.)

JANUARY 15, 2022

**  Maya Wiley cites Confederacy in argument to allow noncitizens to vote.

**  Virginia Flaggers protest in Lexington.

**  Northam on highlights, controversies and his future.  (Virginia governor.  He is glad he took Confederate statues down.  About the only reason I'd want to move to this state would be to vote against him.)

**  Public suggest renaming Fort Bragg after Union General Edward Bragg.  (Like I said, a good idea.)

**  2020-21:  When Confederate monuments came down from Monument Avenue in Richmond.  (Now it's Monumentless Avenue in Sad R.  Too bad the Blacks didn't just make their own avenue to honor their people.)

Melting Confederate Statues! Really!! UDC Pays to Repair Confederate Statue in Tuskegee That City Official Purposefully Damaged. And He Still Hasn't been Charged or Arrested!

AUGUST 13, 2021

**  Can Confederate monuments be recycled?  (In Charlottesville some idiot members of city council have evidently suggested melting them down and given the metal to artists.  Must be of the black persuasion.)

**  Watch Now:  Confederate  statue's presence at Nelson court house stirs debate.  (Lovingston, Virginia.  Blacks are upset.  Big surprise.)

**  Repairs made to damaged Confederate statue in Tuskegee.  (Alabama.  A crew hired by UDC repaired it.   This should have been paid for by the criminal city official who damaged it on purpose.  He still is not in jail either.  Much like the Virginia state senator who incited a riot.)

**  Harlem Reps. Espaillat and Evans reintroduce No Funding for Confederate  Symbols Act.  (New York)

**  The  historical preservation law that obscures history.  (Washington Post.  Guess what they think.)

**  A black pastor's  Confederate  memorial problem.  (Stone Mountain, Ga.  He is the head of the group that runs it.)

**  Organizers offer details on Juneteenth march, rally to remove Talbot Boys Confederate memorial.  (Maryland.  So, at what point will Blacks be asking that the United States celebrate Juneteenth instead of the Fourth of July?)

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

MAY 2, 2021

**  Alabama debates removing Confederate flag from its coat of arms. 

**  Washington County commissioners asked  to change name  of Confederate-named road.  (Stonewall Jackson.  Also looks like they might have to change name of county because, well, you know, somebody owned slaves.)
