It appears Baltimore's Confederate four monuments are coming down faster than previously thought.

Baltimore's mayor and City Council members differed over how to remove the city's four Confederate monuments, but crews were seen early Wednesday removing statues.

Always, it seems, these removals take place at night.

Well since the civil war never happened (if it did you’d see monuments and things but there aren’t any are there?) then slavery never happened either.

I hear they want to remove Rizzo’s statue in Philly.

This can work both ways. I can see it backfiring in spectacular flames.

Erasing history makes rewriting it so much easier.

I came across a piece by a woman, Danusha Goska who was born to Eastern European immigrants and raised in New Jersey. Her essay about defending Robert E. Lee was very intriguing.

This essay is a must read. Sums things up. Really shows how the South is demonized.

Way to go Baltimore Dems. The middle class will definitely be moving back to Baltimore now.

Way to get your priorities straight.
