Every time I see a Confederate flag in front of a house, I have a thought about starting a conversation with the man or woman, presumably a fellow American, who feels a need to display that thing 152 years after the Civil War.

Have not done so.   Continue reading “Letter to those who raise the Confederate flag”

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Two armed individuals walked up to a crowd gathered Saturday evening outside a strip mall in New Orleans and opened fire, killing three people and wounding seven more, the police chief said.

The shooting happened on a busy thoroughfare about 3 miles (4.83 kilometers) from the French Quarter, police said.

Police chief Michael Harrison, speaking to reporters late Saturday in televised comments, said the two suspects believed to be wearing hoodies had a rifle and a handgun. He said they appeared to have fired indiscriminately into the crowd, striking ten people. Before fleeing they took time to stand over one person.   Continue reading “3 Dead, 7 Wounded After Gunmen In New Orleans Fire On Crowd”

Southern leaders of the Civil War period placed the blame for the outbreak of fighting squarely on Lincoln. They accused the President of acting aggressively towards the South and of deliberately provoking war in order to overthrow the Confederacy. For its part, the Confederacy sought a peaceable accommodation of its legitimate claims to independence, and resorted to measures of self-defence only when threatened by Lincoln’s coercive policy. Thus, Confederate vice president, Alexander H. Stephens, claimed that the war was “inaugurated by Mr. Lincoln.” Stephens readily acknowledged that General Beauregard‘s troops fired the “first gun.” But, he argued, the larger truth is that “in personal or national conflicts, it is not he who strikes the first blow, or fires the first gun that inaugurates or begins the conflict.” Rather, the true aggressor is “the first who renders force necessary.”  Continue reading “Lincoln Provoked the War”

Alternate History – by Uxi

Always fascinated that the Confederacy commits treason and starts the war, putting the tools the Abolishionists needed in Lincoln’s hands.

Lincoln himself seemed to recognize that the Emancipation Proclamation was of dubious legality outside of his war powers (and thus lobbied HARD for the 13th Amendment):   Continue reading “WI Confederates don’t attack Fort Sumter”

“At the time, I just wanted to talk to someone who had been through this, to hear some words of encouragement,” the Birmingham, Ala. third-grade teacher says in this week’s issue of PEOPLE. “But there was no one to talk to. It’s just so incredibly rare.”  Continue reading “Dozens Of Auburn University Alumni Suffering Deadly Eye Cancer In Desperate Race For A Cure: ‘Our Lives Are At Stake’”

Pacific Standard – by Terese Marie Mailhot

White House officials, Republican politicians, and right-wing activists have been complaining recently about getting heckled and kicked out of restaurants and Ubers. Earlier this month, the Raleigh News & Observer reported that a local Uber driver had expelled six Republican volunteers from a ride, allegedly telling them as he pulled away, “Welcome to the resistance.” The response from mainstream pundits has largely been to call for civility, but there are strong historical reasons why some Americans don’t consider civility an absolute virtue.   Continue reading “Marginalized People Don’t Need Lessons in Civility”

U.S. airlines plan to comply with a Chinese government demand that they revise their website identifications of Taiwan to reflect China’s claim on the island territory, said a person familiar with the discussions.

The U.S. carriers affected by the mandate — American Airlines Group, Delta Air Lines, United Continental Holdings, and Hawaiian Holdings — will begin to change the Taiwan references over the next day or two, said the person, who asked not to be named because discussions among the carriers were private.   Continue reading “U.S. Airlines to Comply With Beijing’s Demand That Taiwan be Labeled as Part of China”

In 1992, George H.W. Bush signed Executive Order 12803, which gave D.C. the authority to sell America’s infrastructure. They called this authority “Infrastructure Privatization.” E.O. 12803 tells us this power cleared the way for the “disposition or transfer of an infrastructure “asset” such as by sale or by long-term lease from a State or local government to a private party.”   Continue reading “Make No Mistake – America Has Been SOLD By The NWO”
