Why Would Islamic People Weigh In on This Confederate Thing? Virginia

JUNE 29, 2022

**  CAIR supports dropping Confederate names from Va. county district.  (That would be the Council on American-Islamic Relations.  And, you'd think they have enough of their own problems with their terrorists.  No Confederate ever cut someone's head off on TV or crashed a plane with innocent people into a building with more innocent people in it.)

**  Fairfax could rename Lee Highway, other roads due to Confederate ties.  (Virginia)

**  Controversial  Confederate museum opened quietly  in Columbia during  pandemic.   (Columbia, Tennessee.  Sons of Confederate Veterans.  They did it just to bug the SPLC, BLM and NAACP.)

**  West Badin residents want street names linked to the Confederacy renamed.

**  Fairfax City adopts  new seal minus Confederate soldier, British Lord.  (Virginia.  Lord Fairfax.)

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.

The Second Civil War: Virginia, Texas, Tennessee and Alabama

FEBRUARY 11, 2022

**  Virginia ranks  No. 1 in removing Confederate symbols, monuments in 2021, Southern Poverty Law Center.  (Yep, they made another list.  We call them the Lost People.  But, they won't make up a list of all the damage and destruction BLM did back in 2020.   Very racist of them, don't you think?) 

**  How a Houston  area couple turned Confederate Drive into Prosperity Drive.  (Texas.  They are a black couple.)

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

FEBRUARY 12. 2022

**  Hearing on removing Confederate flag from Williamson County seal delayed.  (Tennessee)

**  State hearing  on removing Confederate flag from Williamson County seal to begin  Thursday.  (Tennessee)

**  Tennessee moves vote on Confederate bust to March.  (Forrest)

**  The first submarine to sink a warship was more deadly to its own crew than for the enemy.  (Now, this is real Civil War history, not the junk I have to write about in this blog.  Just so you know.)

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

FEBRUARY 19, 2021

**  South Tampa  farmer Marion  Lambert, who led effort to raise Confederate flag found dead, police say.  (Florida)

**  Alabama  bill could  prohibit adding historical context to Confederate monuments.  (It really doesn't matter since all of them on public spaces will be coming down anyway.  But the "context" messages I have seen are nothing more than people's opinions so just as well not to allow them.)

**  Confederate flag ban request leads to an update in Bismarck Public Schools policy.  (North Dakota.  One black student requested it.  All it takes is one black person to move mountains.)

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.)
