Great post! I love Fred and have read him for many years.
My great-great grandfather was in the NY 49th, fighting at The Wilderness and Spotsylvania Courthouse. He nearly died, and was discharged in 1865 for “extreme diarrhea” (I assume it was dysentery or cholera)

I think we should all be impressed with her, she is a fine musician and knows her history. However, I think she should have stayed in school longer to get to the real history not the post school liberal hyped one. She’s a typical HS drop out, but she was also a promising rapper who was successful. Maybe she’ll use some of her money to get a better education, but then again, she may not need to, as a successful singer. All she has to do is memorize the songs or follow the karaoke screen. If she continues to sing the same song politically, it will get boring.
Fred does not pull any punches!
Thanks for whole article, 2DV.
Saving for another read.
Then [expletive] work for it.
