From the March 26, 2023, "Army: Cost of renamimg nine Confederate-named military bases has nearly soubled" by Suzanne Downing.
And, of course, you know where I stand on the issue of costs.
**********************
THOSE who want it renamed should bear the cost of doing so.
That means that BLM, SPLC and NAACP as well as their white minions should pay.

MARCH 25, 2023
** Confederate flag banned from Fort Worth Stockyards after flying in St. Patrick's parade. (Texas)
** Here's when Army bases honoring the Confederacy will shed their old names.
** Virginia ceremony kicks off Army's official removal of Confederate names from its bases.
** Dawn Sanley on Confederate flag, tragedy that led to March madness to return to South Carolina. (The NCAA would not hold any championship games in the state because of the Confederate flag on the statehouse.)
** Fort Pickett to become the first Army base to drop its Confederate name. (Virginia)
And, again, I say that the cost of the name changes should be paod by BLM, NAACP, SPLC and their white minions.

** JANUARY 4, 2023
** Virginia school board votes to rename high school named after Founding Father who owned slaves. (Sad R., Virginia. George Wythe High School. Renamed it for Katherine Johnson of NASA, a black woman. Why is it that everything renamed has to be of a black person. Don't get me wrong, she is very deserving of all honors, but COME ON!! Will Wythe County and Wytheville in Virginia now have to be renamed?)
I must admit that I had never heard of George Wythe (but have gotten cheap gas in Wytheville, Virginia often). Go to Wikipedia and read about him. A remarkable man even if he did have slaves.

JANUARY 5, 2022
** Nashville suburb sues Tennessee Historical Commission over Confederate named streets. (Forest Hills, Tennessee)
** The man who took down Richmond's Confederate monuments. (Devon Henry, a black man. Of course, he made a whole lot of money doing it and also had a political inside track with the mayor.)
--Old Secesh
DECEMBER 31, 2022
** Art at the Capitol honors 140 enslavers and 13 Confederates. (U.S. Capitol. Seventeen are depictions of Washington, 9 of Jefferson and 5 of Madison. Also 15 depictions of Columbus. Without these folks, I don't even know that we would have a country here.
** So, ENSLAVERS is the new WWM word for slaveowners.
***************************
JANUARY 1, 2022
** West Point begins removal of Robert E. Lee, Confederate paraphernalia. (PARAPHERNALIA? Really.)
Enslavers? Paraphernalia? --Old ?
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)
** The Army's Fort Hood gets new name for wokeness sake. Here's who gets the honor. (It will be renamed for Richard Cavazos, a very deserving person. But, I like the part about "wokeness." )
Is You "Woke?" Is You a "WWM?"--Old Secesh
AUGUST 28, 2022
** It is unbelievable how many articles are out there about Doug Mastriano who is running for Pennsylvania governor and in the past wore a Confederate uniform. Big whoop. What's so bad about that?
** Some Pennsylvania Republicans defend Mastriano for posing in Confederate uniform. (So who is going to be offended? WWMs, BLMers, NAACPers and SPLCers.)
** The photo in question was taken in 2013-2014 and others were also in battle clothes from different eras.
**************************
AUGUST 29, 2022
** Mayor speaks about racist letters spread in Enfield just days after Confederate monument bulldozed. (North Carolina. What the mayor had done to the monument was nothing short of racism.)
** Military commission recommends dropping Confederate names at West Point.

AUGUST 23, 2022
** SBI investigating Confederate monument taken down by Enfield's mayor. (North Carolina. The wrecked monument has Crime Scene yellow tape on it. Is there something wrong with taking down a Confederate monument?)
** CAIR applauds bulldozing of Confederate monument. (CAIR is the Council on American-Islamic Relations. That would be monument in Enfield, N.C.. Hey, CAIR, do you know what the date will be in two days? 9/11 Are you going to applaud that as well?)
**********************************
AUGUST 24, 2022
** North Carolina mayor videos toppling of Confederate monument. (Enfield, N.C.. And, he was proud of what he did. I'd like to know if he is a black man or a WWM? By the way, part of that monument was to honor World War I veterans. Nice job mayor. Let's hope recall.)
** Confederate flag saga in Georgetown continues.
--Old Secesh
AUGUST 12, 2022
** What happened to Charlottesville's Robert E. Lee statue? (Virginia. It has been donated to a black museum to be melted down. Obscene.)
** 120 House Republicans vote to keep statues of Confederates in the Capitol. (Daily Beast. They were outvoted.
** Report: It will cost $5 M to rename Georgia's Fort Benning.
************************
AUGUST 13, 2022
** U.S. Capitol finally replaces Confederate statue with black female leader. (Daily Beast. Seems like a "Woke" thing to do. Is there a law that all Confederate statues in the Capitol be replaced with one for a black person?)
** Delaware NAACP condemns Town of Georgetown for pushing ahead on funding museum flying Confederate flag. (Now, that really does surprise me.)
--Old Secesh
AUGUST 9, 2022
** Renaming Fort Bragg to cost more than $6.3 million. (This should be paid for by those who want the name changed. Hey, dudes, put your money where your mouth is!!)
** Georgetown Historical Society responds to calls to remove Confederate battle flag. (Delaware. They will leave it up. Finally some folks with backbone. But, what will CAIR think?))
** Fort Hood name change receives final recommendation. (Texas. Fort Cavazos.)
*****************************
AUGUST 10, 2022
** Renaming 9 Confederate-honoring Army posts will cost $21 million. (Again, let SPLC, BLM, NAACP and WWMs pay for it.
Put Your Money Where Your Mouths Are Guys. --Old Secesh
AUGUST 3, 2022
** 'This is ridiculous': Johnson responds to Kotek's challenge to condemn Confederate flags at rallies. (Oregon)
** Confederate controversy in Georgetown: Council approves controversial funding request for local museum. (Delaware. And the WWM, Islamic folks, SPLC, BLM are up in arms. WWM, by the way is White Woke Minions.)
** Youngkins pick for Virginia's historic resources board resigns after comments on Confederate statues, slavery. (Virginia)
******************************
AUGUST 4. 2022
** CAIR welcomes resignation of Va. appointee who made pro-Confederate comments. (Still waiting for the Council on American-Islamic Releations, CAIR, to welcome or condemn Islamic terrorist activity.)
** Confederate Names Task Force gets closer to renaming VA highways. (And, of course, all will have to be named after after black folks.)
