That Very Slick Memphis. Ole Miss, Portsmouth Va., Stonewall, Mail-In Ballots and Rome

AUGUST 22, 2020


**  Ole Miss players pleased with tarps obstructing view of  campus Confederate monument.  (So glad they are now happy.  You really don't want unhappy football players.)

**  Both sides forge respect during battle over Confederate statues in Memphis.  (In case you don't remember, Memphis found a questionable way to skirt around the issue to remove the Nathan Forrest and Jefferson Davis statues by selling the park to an organization formed just for the occasion. That "organization" then took the statues down.  Very sneaky Memphis.)

**  Portsmouth police chief releases statement about investigation  into Confederate monument protest.  (14 rioters committing hate crimes were charged with felonies.)

**  Stonewall Jackson's arm:  How Clarksburg, West Virginia, grapples with its Confederate heritage."

**  Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to  deny Lincoln reelection in 1864.

**  Scholar expresses interest  in consulting local statue committee regarding Confederate statue.  (Nathan Forrest statue in Rome, Georgia)

I Was So Shocked To See "Vandalizers" Getting Charged With Felonies.--Old Secesh

Would It Be Vandalism If Someone Threw Paint On or Broke a Martin Luther King Jr. Statue? Or, Would It Be Something Else?

AUGUST 16, 2020


**  Authorities investigate after Confederate statue  vandalized.  Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee.  Again, would it be vandalism if someone did that to a Martin Luther King Jr. statue?  I think not.  Let's call what happened to the Confederate statue it for what it is, a hate crime.  I really hate it when the media refers to the Confederadication of statues as "vandalism."  But, then, they refer the riots committed by BLM as "civil unrest."  A riot is a riot is a riot.  It's time for the media and everyone to regard any BLM activity as a possible riot and with its accompanying looting.)

**  19-year old leading push Confederate statue says she didn't set out to become face of the movement.  (Longview, Gregg County, Texas.  Chelsea Laury.)

AUGUST 17, 2020

**  Rally shows support for Augusta Confederate monument.  (Georgia)

**  Protests continue over confederate statue at Talbot Co. courthouse.  (Maryland.  It is spelled Confederate.  Of course, the people in charge voted to keep it.  The BLMers aren't happy about that one bit.)

**  Backroads:  Confederate statue's orbs intrigued pranksters.  (Bell County, Texas.  The problem with cannonballs.  Quite an interesting article.  Well worth a read.  The pranks here have nothing to do with BLM.)

**  Va. House Democrats want to make it easier  for localities to take down Confederate statues.  (A real big surprise here.  One of the reason I am voting against almost all Democrats here in Illinois.)

**  Franklin schools ban Confederate flag, symbols.  (Indiana.  Hopefully they are not allowing the equally offensive BLM stuff in schools as well.  That stands for looting, rioting, attacking police and white people.)

Believe Me.  When a BLMer Does Something to a Confederate Statue, That IS A HATE CRIME!!   That Is Not Simple "Vandalism."  ---Old Secesh

Another Confederate Monument "Vandalized", No Marchee in Parade for SCV, Bill to Do Away With Confederate Monuments in Virginia

February 4, 2020

**  Confederate monument in Virginia vandalized with red paint.  (Harrisonburg.  The Turner Ashby monument, near where he died.  There they go again.  That is not vandalism.  That is a hate crime.)

**  Sons of Confederate Veterans appeal  appeal in parade permit suit.  (Louisiana)

**  Localities could remove confederate  statues if bill passes.  (ABC 8 News, Richmond, Va.  The bill cleared a committee by 8-7 vote.  This would allow local governments to remove all Confederate statues and monuments.  Sadly, it appears that many Virginia local governments are under control of Blacks and their white minions.  So, those statues would be gone.  I've said it before, this should be put up to local referendum.  If the majority of the people want them gone, then so it should be.)

Also, a word to the news station, the word Confederate is capitalized, not small "c".

**  SC Republicans want to give Trump his own Confederate memorial.  (What?)

**  Fact check:  NC lawmaker says Lincoln was a traitor and Robert E. Lee 'hated slavery.'

**  Racial debate arose when Virginia school proposed to ban Confederate flag attire.

**  How a Republican's proposal to remove a statue in Richmond may have backfired.
