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

JULY 20, 2022

**  How many Texas schools still have Confederate-linked names.  (Go as SPLC, they'll know.  They have those lists, you know.)

**  Richmond tore down  its statues -- and revealed a new angle to history.  (Washington Post, of course.  How to be proud you're a racist.)

Imagine There Being a White Activist? Bubba and Tennessee

MARCH 17, 2022

**  History buff and veterans rights activist sues to return Confederate grave markers in Madison.  (Wisconsin.  Imagine there being such a thing as a non-black activist!!  I here I was thinking that all activists had to be Blacks.  And, I would still like to know what college you have to go to to get your degree in activism?)

**  Bubba Wallace  on what it means to be authentic, talks Confederate flag at SXSW.  (Bubba is the only black driver at the top level of NASCAR and threw a hissy fit about the Confederate flags at events and really Kappy Nappered it.  And, then there was that "noose" thing.)

**  Williamson County seal  public comments to Tennessee Historical Commission.

Aren't All Activists Supposed To Be Black?  --Old Secesh

Confederadication: Jacksonville, Maryland, Belle Boyd's Grave, Boy Scouts, Fort Bragg and Monumentless Avenue in Sad R.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021

**  Rally calls for removal of Confederate monuments in Jacksonville.  (Florida.  About two dozen people.  That is one huge rally.)

**  Last Confederate monument  on Md. public land set to come down.  (Maryland.  The Talbot Boys monument.  This was in the Washington Post.  Do you suppose they are happy about this?)

**  Confederate spy's grave still stands.  (Kilburn City, (Wisconsin Dells) Wisconsin   Belle Boyd's grave site.  The writer, a college student seems to be a real Confederate hater.)

**  Scout official:  Confederate flags flown by  troop in Peach Days parade an honest mistake.  (Utah.  Boy Scouts)

**  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.)

Why Not Rename Fort Bragg After the Union General Bragg, Not the Confederate One? A Surprise Vote on School Names in Jacksonville

MAY 20, 2021

**  King George Confederate monument will be discussed in June.  (Virginia)

**  Wisconsin senator proposes renaming  Fort Bragg after  Union cousin of Confederate general.  (A state senator wants it named after Braxton Bragg's  cousin, Union General  Edward Stuyvesant  Bragg of Wisconsin.  Good idea.  That way they wouldn't have to go through all that expense of changing the name.  I had never heard of this Union general and will have to do some more research.)

**  Duval  County school stakeholders vote to rename  5 schools named for Confederate leaders.  (Jacksonville, Florida.  I bet everyone of them will be named after black folks.  Well, that was my thought at first, but looking at the new names, they definitely aren't:

Joseph Finnegan Elementary to Anchor Academy

Stonewall Jackson Elementary to  Westside Academy

Jefferson Davis Middle School to Westside Middle School

J.E.B. Middle School to  Westside Middle School (However these last two are the same name.)

Robert E. Lee High School to Riverside High School

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

Voters chose to keep the names of three schools:

Jean Ribault Middle School

Jean Ribault High School

Andrew Jackson High School

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

The last time a school name was changed in Jacksonville it cost $180,000.

Will BLM Be Rioting in Kenosha Tonight? Nancy Gets Hers.

JANUARY 5, 2021

I was listening to a radio station this morning and heard that the City of Kenosha, Wisconsin,  is preparing for riots and that the state governor has called out some 500 National Guard soldiers for that possibility. The county is determining whether the officer who shot the black man should be tried.

Should the decision be to try him there will be no problem.

But, if the decision is not to try him, BLM and their white minions will be out there rioting, burning and looting.  It is what they do best.

Look at all the preparations that were made in major U.S. cities during the presidential election.  Had trump won, BLM would have been out there rioting, burning and looting.  That is what they do.

In my opinion, anyone who backs this group supports rioting, looting and burning.

Of course, it's winter in the Midwest right now.  Maybe they'll wait for nicer weather.

**  I just had to chuckle a bit when the U.S. House Speaker, a noted supporter of BLM had her house vandalized because of the relief paychecks.  Wonder who vandalized her home?  It was Confederate statues or paintings.

Oh, Well.  You Know How They Get When They Don't Get Their Way.  --Old Secesh

The Confederacy Under Attack: Fort Hood, Alabama Sues County, Georgia and CAIR

NOVEMBER 21, 2020

**  Defense bill in danger over Confederate-named  military bases like Fort Hood.  (Texas)

**  State of Alabama sues Madison County over relocation of Confederate monument.  (One-time fine of $25,000.  Those who wanted it moved should pay the fine as well as all costs associated with moving it.)

**  Explaining the court battle over downtown Macon's Confederate monuments.  (Georgia)

**  Brunswick votes to remove Confederate statue once legal questions are resolved.  (Georgia)

**  CAIR welcomes removal of Wisconsin rock with racist  history, decries vote to keep Confederate statue in Virginia..  (CAIR is an Islamic civil rights and advocacy group.  The Wisconsin boulder is one that students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have called for years as the "N word head" rock.  Why are the Islamic folks getting involved with this?)

The Second Civil War: Wisconsin, Alabama, Tennessee, Sad R., North Carolina and Massachusetts

OCTOBER 15, 2020

**  Authorities investigating placement of Confederate flag  on Beloit bridge.  (Wisconsin.  They also should have investigating the earlier placement of the offensive BLM banners on the bridge.  University officials condemned the flag, but somehow overlooked the fact that BLM means rioting, looting and arson as well as hate crimes.  They seem to be okay with that.)

**  Florence activists  say city's resolutions on Confederate monument won't do much.  (Alabama)

**  Hamilton County Commission to vote on resolution to remove Confederate statue.  (Tennessee.  Do you think they will vote to remove it?)

**  Over 20 proposals submitted to acquire Confederate monuments, statue sendoff unlikely in 2020.   (Sad R.  Of course, those who wanted the statues down should pay all expenses involved with taking them down and relocating them.  Hey, guys.  Put your money where your mouths are.)

**  Lexington to remove Confederate  monument  'without delay.'  (North Carolina.  The city has reached agreement with UDC and will pay all expenses.  I still say those who want them removed should pay for it.)

**  'Thin Blue Line' backers denounce use of Confederate flag.  (Danvers, Massachusetts.   The town was having the blue police U.S. flags removed from its fire trucks because one person objected.  There was a demonstration about it and one person had a Confederate flag.)

About That Maybe Confederate Arkansas State Flag. Building Fences for BLM Protection in Georgia.

OCTOBER 7, 2020

**  Panel discussion:  'A Confederate star:  Arkansas ' flag and the Lost Cause.  (Still upset about the Arkansas state flag being some sort of a Confederate flag.)

**  Commission about to consider  petition to remove Confederate general  (Tennessee.  Gen. A.P. Stewart.)

**  Decay of the colossal wreck:  Confederate statues as protected cultural property.

**  "Liberty Bell" is augmented reality project at the Battery through next year.  (Charleston, S.C.  It is meant as a put-down to the Confederacy and is by the Charleston Defenders monument, but is really an interesting object to see the next time you are there.)

**  After protests, Georgia will build a fence around Capitol.  (BLM has been "protesting" at the Capitol building for police reform and against the Confederate statue on the grounds.  You know that whenever BLM and their white minions are involved, there is always the chance of rioting, confrontation, looting and arson.  So, the state is building a rather large fence around the building for safety.

And people wonder why I don't like the BLMers.)  

Same problems whenever there is a judicial decision that they don't like.  Here we go again, rioting, looting and arson.  Like recently happened in Louisville and Wauwatosa, Wisconsin.  You don't see the so-called rightist racist groups doing that.

So, Who Are the Bad Guys Here?  --Old Secesh

What To Do With Those Confederate Monuments After They Are Removed. Arkansas, Minnesota, Gettysburg, Debate, Statues and VCU

 SEPTEMBER 20, 2020

**  Confederacy defenders refuse deal to move Confederate statue in Fort Smith.  (Arkansas)

**  Trump's praise for Robert E. Lee startles Minnesotans proud of state's role at Gettysburg.

**  The debate on Confederate statues: Offensive or historic.

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

SEPTEMBER 21, 2020

**  These Confederate statues were removed.  But where did they go?  (NBC News.  Since the death of George Floyd, 130 Confederate statues and tributes to divisive persons have come down, not all Confederate.

In only 365 cases have the statues been transported to new homes or were awaiting new homes or owners.  Three of them, an early 1900s Nashville politician and two in Madison, Wisconsin, who have been determined not to be white supremacists,  will be repaired and returned to their spots.

**  VCU students weigh in on plan to remove Confederate names, symbols.

**  University in former Confederate capital will remove all Confederate names, symbols from campus.  (That would be Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU).  Was there a former Confederate capital at that spot?  If there ever was, it is surely gone now.)

There Was No Second Confederate Capital.  --Old Secesh

Guess Whose Side NAACP Is On? Even Wisconsin: Florida, Alabama, Virginia and Tattoos

AUGUST 15, 2020


**  Confederate monument in Plaza de  la Constitucion to be removed in two weeks.  (St. Augustine, Florida)

**  Stevens Point schools explicitly ban Confederate flags, Nazi swastikas and other symbols  as part of updated policies.    (Wisconsin.  Did they also ban anything with BLM on it?  Equally offensive and stands for rioting, hate crimes, arson, attacks on police and looting.)

**  Huntsville City Council over Confederate monument dispute.  (Alabama.  The statue has been hit by a hate crime by BLM and is covered in red paint.  The city, in a show of class declines to clean it.)

**  Surry County Board of Supervisors to relocate Confederate monument.  (Virginia)

**  One place Confederate battle flags are still allowed in the military:  Tattoos.

**  Judge:  NC county can't ban all protests around courthouse.  (Graham, North Carolina.  Alamance County NAACP brought forward a lawsuit to allow protests.  That means BLM will get to riot and commit hate crimes.

SPLC Has to be Celebrating.  --Old Secesh

Oh Those Cheeseheads, Under Cover of the Night, Citadel and An Unlikely Toppling

JULY 24, 2020


**  Two Wisconsin Republicans vote against removing Confederate statues from Capitol while Ron Johnson blocks Juneteenth holiday.    (Johnson is Republican U.S. senator.  I am not surprised that certain people and Democrats want Juneteenth as a national holiday.  I would not be surprised even if they go so far as to try to have the 4th of July replaced by Juneteenth.   Seriously!)

**  (This Juneteenth national holiday was introduced in the Senate by four Democratic senators, two of whom are Blacks and two are women.  It was co-sponsored by a Republican senator.  As of right now, Juneteenth is not a national holiday, but the Senate passed a resolution to make it one.  It has to go to the U.S. House now.  Since the Democrats control it, what do you think will happen?)

**  Watch now:  Lee statue, Confederate busts, removed overnight from Old House chamber at Va. Capitol.  (Video.  Done at night as is the favorite criminal activity time of BLM.)

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

JULY 25, 2020

**  Confederate statues removed from Virginia Capitol in the dead of the night.  (They only come out at night.)

**  Confederate flag squabble at the Citadel  chapel rising again.  (Charleston, S.C.)

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

JULY 26. 2020

**  GoFundMe page started to replace Civil War statue. (Saratoga Springs, New York.  This is of a Union officer. Luther Wheeler.  It didn't give suspects, but I'm thinking most likely some confused BLMers since this fits their MO."
