As part of wokedom’s fantasy-ridden fascination with indigenes, sports teams, such as the Redskins and Braves, race to change names. (For Washington’s team, the Federal Folders has been suggested.)

The “illegal” celebrations were held in speakeasy locations such as upscale homes, vacant warehouses, a DoubleTree hotel, and shuttered businesses.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s Highlands area home was vandalized early Saturday morning.

Numerous messages were written on the home using red and white spray paint. The phrase “Where’s my money” was tagged on the front door along with other messages on the porch. The message seems to be a response to the proposed $2,000 stimulus check increase that was blocked by Sen. McConnell in December. Continue reading “Sen.

Audiences saw hints of his genius during his stint with Bluegrass Alliance in the early 1970s, but it appeared fully formed with J.D. Crowe & The New South in 1975 on their classic recording for Rounder Records, known colloquially by its catalog number, 0044. Continue reading “Tony Rice passes”
