'A New Era? President Obama and American Gun Culture

NOVEMBER 5, 2022

**  'We're moving into a new era':  People pleased about buiding  new statue to honor John Lewis.  (Decatur, Georgia.  I'm all for it, but disappointed that the Confederate statue was removed.)

Slaves Back Then and Gun Ownership Today

AUGUST 26, 2022

**  Counties with more slaves in 1860 have higher gun ownership.

**  Doug Mastriano wore a Confederate Army uniform in an Army War College faculty photo. (He is a candidate for Pennsylvania governor.  And, Trump backed.  So?)

**  New name for Camp Beauregard?  Louisiana National Guard to host open house on renaming base.

**  Removing Confederate monuments in Jacksonville:  Funding may be renamed.  (Again, complete costs should be paid by those who want them removed.

Trump Again, White Supremacist Militia, Texas and Sad R.,

NOVEMBER 26, 2020

**  Losing hasn't changed Trump's stance on white supremacy.  (New York magazine.  Trump still plans to veto defense bill over base name changes and won't condemn the white supremacist militias at Kenosha and Portland.  I personally do not like seeing weapons at potentially out-of-control situations like during BLM rioting, looting, burning and hate crimes.

However, the reporters don't say anything about whether BLM has the right to do their rioting, burning, looting and hate crimes.)

**  Texas Senate panel revisits debate over Confederate art at Capitol.

**  City Council receives bids from 22 who want Confederate statues.  (Had it been any other city than Sad R., this would be unbelievable.  The city should pay for not only the statues being taken down, but also provide funds to the SCV and UDC for putting them up elsewhere.  Plus, of course, funds need to be available for when BLMers and their white minions commit hate crimes at the statues in their new locations.)

**  Confederate monument to remain in place at courthouse.  (Kaufman County, Texas.  County commissioners voted against removing them.)

The Problem With Police. Confrontations Can Lead to Bloodshed. Was This a Case of Mistaken Identity?

AUGUST 4, 2020


**  Black Dallas church alleges intimidation by pro-police rally.  (I wrote about this earlier and have to say the church has a point in this matter.  But putting up a BLM banner means they're picking a side.)

**  What's the problem with the police?  Start with the negative reporting about them.  (Definitely.  I was just watching the Chicago police release video footage of protests at Columbus statue which shows what those officers had to endure, 49 police injured with 18 hospitalized.  Then during questions, all one reporter harped on was the black activist female who was injured by a cop that night.  Also the media being reluctant to call a protest that gets out of hand a riot as well as not saying these riots and looting take place during BLM activities.)

**  Man who pointed a sniper rifle at crowd at Weatherford protests arrested, deputies say.  (Well, first off, those "protests" were violent by then, so actually more of a riot.  This is what scares me the most as there will always be armed persons on both sides and all it takes is one little thing to cause that to erupt in bloodshed.  The police did the right thing in arresting him.)

**  East Atlanta's Gen. McPherson  monument mysteriously damaged.  (Georgia  Who do we know that goes around attacking statues these days?  Oh yes.  And Gen. McPherson was a Union officer, not a Confederate one.  And the monument is located where he was killed during the Civil War.  Watch the video of Lenora Scott.  She is quite a wonderful lady.)
