(Florida Times Union) – The removal of two statues from the “Women of the Southland” Confederate monument was not an action that required Mayor Donna Deegan to first get a certificate of appropriateness from the Jacksonville Historic Preservation Commission, the city’s general counsel told City Council.

City Council members questioned Michael Fackler, the city’s top attorney, during the Rules Committee meeting Tuesday, less than an hour after Fackler released his legal memorandum regarding the controversial monument removal.

Council members took issue with various parts of the opinion – from the definitions the relatively new general counsel used to Fackler’s conversations with the mayor’s administration about the forthcoming opinion.

“There’s been changes, arguments back-and-forth and new reasoning to justify that action that occurred, and I just want to make sure that we’re not starting with the decision and then working backwards through the code and the charter to justify…

Will Illegal Aliens Choose the 2024 Republican Nominee in Arizona?

(The American Conservative) – If you think our elections are safe from non-citizens voting, think again. An unprecedented move by Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes just opened the way for non-citizens—legal or otherwise—to register for and cast a ballot in the 2024 election. That includes Arizona’s Republican primary in March, meaning the same illegal aliens flooding across our open border could vote against the leading closed borders candidate, President Donald Trump.

True, federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections (punishable by fine and prison time); 19 foreign nationals were convicted of voting illegally in the 2016 elections. Arizona law similarly bars all non-citizens from voting—in state and local elections. “Federal-only” voters, however—individuals registered using the federal voter registration form, which is different from the state forms most of us are familiar with—are “eligible to vote solely in races for federal office in Arizona (including the Presidential Preference Election).” In other words, the…

A Homeschooling Revolution

(America First Report) – Last November, American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten annoyed the vast American homeschooling community by expressing bafflement behind the trend to remove children from school.

“What’s behind the increase in homeschooling?” Weingarten posted on X (formerly Twitter), referencing an article on Axios with the same title. This apparent cluelessness drew snorts of derision from parents all over the nation, who didn’t hold back on their responses by the thousands – so much so that Weingarten turned off replies to her post.

After stating, “The answer is in your mirror,” Townhall columnist Phil Hollaway questioned why Weingarten turned off comments.” Are you afraid of the answers you’ll get? You and the teacher unions with help from [former CDC director Rochelle Walensky] sent public schools into a death spiral from which they may never recover.”

Another poster responded…

(Paul Craig Roberts) – The collapse of Western civilization and its replacement with woke Satanism has proceeded so rapidly that not even I, who expected it, can keep up with it.

Stephen Karganovic writing in Global Research brings to our attention five of the many insane woke policies that have been implemented in Canada, California, and Great Britain. This is not a joke. This is very real:

  1. In order to maintain the fiction that in their attributes men and women are physiologically indistinguishable, the Canadian government has mandated the installation of tampon dispensers in men’s bathrooms. The empirical fact that men have no use for tampons is trumped by ideology, which dictates categorically that they do because it is dogmatically prescribed that men do menstruate and are furthermore able to give birth to babies. People who believe themselves to be something they are not, and claim that their subjective self-perception overrides reality, are politically empowered to cancel empirical observation and the conclusions reached by scientists who perform accurate, verifiable research.
  2. Also on the ideological reality chopping block is terminology that points to pre-woke, common sense notions about natural relations between human beings. “Mother” and “father, “expressions that allude to the manifestly different…

Saluda, S.C.: Where Texas Began

(Southern Partisan) – In a state that has long embraced lost causes like the Civil War, Saluda County has a special fondness for one that happened a thousand miles away.

The county, nestled in the pine forests and rolling farmland of western South Carolina, bills itself as “The Birthplace of Alamo Heroes.” It reveres native sons William Barret Travis and James Butler Bonham, who died along with roughly 180 others defending the former Spanish mission to the death in 1836 in the fight for independence for Texas.

And long before the latest movie of “The Alamo,” local historians have been telling and retelling how Travis unloaded both barrels of his shotgun as he took a ball to the forehead and Bonham sneaked through Mexican lines at least twice with letters asking for reinforcements.

“It’s a great story about two dashing young idealistic men,” said Saluda County Historical Society Executive Director Bela Herlong.

They’ve been proud for a long time. In 1947, a monument was dedicated on the courthouse lawn remembering the pair as “comrades in arms” who “perished together in battle.”

Want to know where most historians think Travis was standing when…

After The Reconciliation Memorial, Confederate Graves—And…

Whitehouse soldier statue goes on leave - The Blade

(The rumbling are already surfacing about removing the Confederate cemetery at Arlington and eventually removing Confederate Memorials from federally-owned battlefield parks. No hyperbole. It’s in the works. Just like the uniparty clowns said monuments belonged in cemeteries and at museums. Remember that line from years ago? Well, now they don’t… – DD)

(VDare) – On June 13, 1943, a B-17 bomber exploded over Germany during a raid on the U-Boat bunker at Kiel. Aboard the plane was the first American general to be killed in action during World War II: Nathan Bedford Forrest III, great grandson of the brilliant, now vilified Confederate cavalry hero. Nathan Bedford Forrest III was a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross and is buried in Arlington. Remembering such Confederate descendants is worth some time now, given the scandalous removal of the Reconciliation Memorial in the Confederate section of Arlington National Cemetery. It’s bad enough that we permit communist goons to attack Confederate statues and memorials. It’s even worse for the federal government to do so because it breaks the tacit agreement after the War Between the States, which all presidents honored until the Biden Regime. Reconciliation invited the South to honor and celebrate its heroes and keep them alive in the public memory. But maybe some of the famous Southerners who fought and/or died in this nation’s 20th-century wars would haven’t have done so if they knew what was coming. It’s not surprising that young Southern boys, who join the military in numbers disproportionate to their share of the population, reconsider enlisting.

The public war against all things Confederate began some time ago on Capitol Hill, when an uncelebrated, angry black Senator, Carol Moseley-Braun, opened fire on the United Daughters of the Confederacy. She mau-maued the Senate into taking away the UDC’s congressional patent. She even had Democrat Senator and Confederate descendant Howell Heflin blubbering about racism.

But even then, few if any Americans had a problem with Confederate memorials. The Historic American Nation really had reconciled. Southern boys not only became “Galvanized Yankees” in the U.S. Army and fought against…

Virginia Seminary Scrubs Founders’ Names, Will Pay a Million-Plus in Reparations

Virginia Theological Seminary announces $1.7 million reparations fund - Vox

(Red State) – A Mid-Atlantic religious school is removing its makers’ monikers due to their enslaving ways. Moreover, more than a million has been piled to pass out to people because of their bloodlines.

Since 1823, Alexandria-based Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) has trained future ministers. Formerly the Protestant Episcopal Theological Seminary in Virginia, it counts among its establishers “The Star-Spangled Banner” composer Francis Scott Key. Onto other foundational history, several key figures were slave owners. The college aches to erase those elements of less-than-lauded legacy; therefore, it’s re-christening the following six structures…

…In the name of justice, VTS is doing more than re-dubbing buildings. In 2019, it launched the Reparations Program. A couple years later…

America’s Once Great Cities Are Being Turned Into Open Sewers

(Economic Collapse) – Once upon a time, America’s cities were beautiful, clean and the envy of the entire world. But now the rest of the world is literally laughing at how badly they have degenerated. A stunning nationwide crime wave has combined with the greatest homelessness crisis in modern U.S. history, the greatest drug crisis in modern U.S. history, and the greatest migration crisis in modern U.S. history to produce absolutely deplorable conditions in the streets of our largest cities. For example, if you find a plastic cup on the ground in New York City, you may want to carefully examine what is inside before you decide to pick it up. The following comes from the New York Post…

“There was a cup of what I thought was somebody’s discarded hot chocolate that turned out to be not hot chocolate,” said street cleaner John Cashvan.

“On warmer days, it can smell like a toilet over here — and not a well kept-toilet.”

In the past week, locals and volunteers said they’ve spotted cups filled with urine around the park’s entrance near the former school, along with human-sized…

Texit? Texas State Lawmaker to File Bill Calling for Secession

(TNM) – In recent times, the conversation regarding TEXIT, the withdrawal of Texas from the United States, has been gaining significant traction. This widely debated topic captures the growing sentiment and conviction among a sizeable section of Texans who ardently express their desire to reformulate the future course of their state – their intent is to break away from the United States and establish governance based on the principles they believe in.

One of the most compelling discussions surrounding this issue is the notion of a public vote. If the establishment indeed holds faith in their declarations concerning TEXIT, then the logical step would be to empower the people with the decision. A referendum would provide an avenue for Texans to voice their opinions, and subsequently, influence the outcome. The argument is simple – if policymakers genuinely believe in what they’re saying about TEXIT, they would unhesitatingly allow it to be put up for public voting.

Yet, this call to action has generally been met with resistance. Such an obstacle brings forth inquiries regarding the nature of democratic processes and individual…

“We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government.” — William O. Douglas, dissenting in Osborn v. United States (1966)

(Activist Post) -The government wants us to believe that we have nothing to fear from its mass spying programs as long as we’ve done nothing wrong.

Don’t believe it.

It doesn’t matter whether you obey every law. The government’s definition of a “bad” guy is extraordinarily broad, and it results in the warrantless surveillance of innocent, law-abiding Americans on a staggering scale.

For instance, it was recently revealed that the White House, relying on a set of privacy loopholes, has been sidestepping the Fourth Amendment by paying AT&T to allow federal, state, and local law enforcement to access—without a warrant—the phone records of Americans who are not suspected of a crime.

This goes way beyond the NSA’s metadata collection program.

Operated during the Obama, Trump and now the Biden presidencies, this secret dragnet surveillance program (formerly known as Hemisphere and now dubbed Data Analytical Services) uses its association with the White House to sidestep a vast array of…
