IN THE PEACH STATE
Governor Roy Barnes, who left the Georgia governor’s mansion 18 years ago, said a Confederate General worthy of a statue, (James Longstreet) should replace an "unworthy" one (former Georgia Governor and Confederate General John Gordon).
IN THE SHOW ME STATE
Liberty's city council has kickstarted a legal process to confiscate the portion of cemetery land where a Confederate monument stands.
City officials have given potential owners of block 174 inside Fairview Cemetery 30 days to prove ownership. If no one comes forward, city officials will file a lawsuit to take control of the plot and remove the monument.
IN THE TAR HEEL STATE
A lawsuit demanding the removal of a Confederate monument in Iredell County has now been declared "multi-racial" as the effeminate descendant (he's only a 4th great-grand nephew - is that even a relative?) the "Rev." Robert Lee IV, again, he's not a grandson, he's only a great-grand nephew 4 times removed. But the media drags this loser out and parades him around every time they need a descendent of Robert E. Lee to oppose something. Poor Bobby can't keep a pulpit or a job so he has to live on "appearance fees" and liberal media handouts. He'll say anything for $50 and some greenroom snacks. The question is, will he give "credibility" to this incredible lawsuit?
IN THE OLD DOMINION
The VMI Board of Visitors voted to remove the name of General Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson from Jackson Memorial Hall and the arch that is the main entrance to the Old Barracks.
A motto in the barracks entry will remain, although its attribution to Jackson will be removed.
How Jackson’s name will be removed and what the facilities will be called in the future is still to be determined.
PATRIOT SEEKS PLEA DEAL
Kevin Seefried, the Delaware man who was seen carrying a Confederate Battle Flag on the second floor of the US Capitol Building during the January 6th Patriotic Rally in support of President Trump appeared in US Federal Court in DC this week. His lawyers ask for a deal for both Seefried and his son Hunter in exchange for a guilty plea of "trespass" which the Department of inJustice is entertaining.
Currently over 400 people, most of them peaceful patriots are being held in Federal custody on trumped up charges of "insurrection."
IN THE OLD LINE STATE
A few months back we reported on our efforts to preserve the Talbot Boy's statue in nearby Easton. Dr. Ed had even taken the local NAACP President to lunch and had what he thought was a productive discussion. We raised no objection to the NAACP's proposal to erect a statue to Frederick Douglass in proximity to the Talbot Boy's statue as both were part of the history of Talbot County.
As we reported, the NAACP has not ac ted in good faith and their leadership are not people of their words.
Now the game has totally changed. On Wednesday the ACLU filed a lawsuit on behalf of the NAACP seeking the removal of the Talbot Boy's statue.
Like the above reported case in North Carolina. It seems that the new strategy now is that when a community or local government is simply not interested in removing a monument rather than accept the consensus of their neighbors and elected officials the cultural rapists will sue. Thomas Jefferson knew of which he wrote when he warned that America's courts would be the source of much of the nation's future evil.
The Talbot Boy's statue is the LAST remaining Confederate statue on public land in the State of Maryland.
ALSO IN MARYLAND MY MARYLAND
Governor Hogan’s spokesman, Mike Ricci, informed us on Thursday that the Governor has until the end of the month to sign the bill that would eliminate the State Song. He remind us that Hogan, "never cared much for the song at all," and added that, "He plans to sign the measure.”
As of this mailing however, the Governor still has not done so. Something, we know not what, is keeping him from doing so. The Governor signed a pile of legislation in April and another pile this week. yet this bill remains on his desk. Which means he can still veto it!
Call Governor Hogan to let him know your expectation that he hold the line in the Old Line State. Tell him to VETO the bill and keep Maryland My Maryland. His phone number is (410) 974-3901.
IN THE EMPIRE STATE
And I couldn't make this up, Appellate Justices in Albany on Thursday ordered a woman in Tompkins County to remove a rock from her driveway that is painted with a Confederate Flag or risk a "change of circumstances" that would result in her child being taken away from her.
In a unanimous 5-0 ruling, appellate justices told the single mother of a 7-year-old if the Confederate-flag-decorated rock is not removed by June 1, Family Court would be obliged to factor its presence "into any future best interests analysis” regarding the child, stated Justice Stanley Pritzker, who authored the decision by the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court's Third Department, the state's second-highest court.
“In response to questioning, the mother testified that she has never used any racial slurs in front of the child or at all,” the ruling said.
Justice Pritzker continued: “As such, while recognizing that the First Amendment protects the mother's right to display the flag if it is not removed by June 1, 2021, its continued presence shall constitute a change in circumstances and Family Court shall factor this into any future best interests analysis.”
Justices John Egan, Sharon Aarons, Molly Reynolds Fitzgerald and John Colangelo concurred with the ruling.
IN THE CENTENNIAL STATE
An online petition, “Ban the Display of Confederate Flags in Classrooms,” was posted by substitute teacher Hailey Schramm on Change.org
The present policy is that Colorado teachers can display the Confederate Flag in the classroom "for educational purposes" when they are covering curriculum where it would be appropriate such as in a History or Social Studies or Civics class. Principals and education officials have stated that they have absolutely no problem with the policy and had no intention to change it. That was, until Ms. Schramm's petition hit 25,000 signatures this week.
On Wednesday the Colorado Springs school district issued a statement to the media that the policy is now under review.

The University of Miami could end up paying as much as $75 million to the family of the school's founder if the institution changes the name of its Solomon G. Merrick building.
On Monday, the school's Board of Trustees announced plans to rename the building, which is named after the father of George Merrick, one of the founders of the University of Miami and the founder of Coral Gables, where the school is located. Because the building name was part of the agreement that the Merrick family made when they donated $5 million to the school in 1925, the university may have to pay the family the modern equivalent of that money back, which is about $75 million.
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the school said the school's Board of Trustees aimed at "reaffirming our commitment to belonging and justice by recognizing those who overcame racism...As the founder of the University, we have much to be thankful to George E. Merrick, yet we understand that for some members of our community, his name is a reminder of the harm caused by segregation...Therefore, we will adopt a neutral directional name for that structure on the Coral Gables Campus."

Many wonder why we have some of the problems we have in this country. They feel that a country like ours that has a mostly Christian background should not be beset with the situation we seem to find ourselves in. Yet we are, and part of the problem seems to stem from the fact that many who claim to speak for the Lord are actually promoting ideas that have no warrant whatever from the Holy Scriptures.
Researcher Kit Daniels recently had and article on http://www.infowars.com in which he stated that: “A group of pro-choice church pastors are protesting pro-life bills expected to pass in Texas. One Presbyterian pastor in particular claimed Texas Senate Bill 8 could expose pastors to legal liability if they recommend abortions…Senate Bill 8 and its companion bill, HB 1515, would ban abortions when a heartbeat is detected, which can occur as early as four to six weeks in a pregnancy.”
Another pastor, this one a woman, said “We will never give up our individual consciences, and religious freedom or our God-given right to choose.” Look at what this “pastor” is saying here–God gives women the “right” to kill their unborn babies if they decide that is what is convenient for them. The House version of this bill already passed by a 81-63 vote (and that was too close). Wonder if it was a party-line vote.
If pastors are promoting this convoluted thinking to their congregations do you wonder why the country is in deep trouble? Churches and their pastors should be promoting the preservation of life–not the taking of it. It is interesting to note how many “Christians” in this country stand in defiance of the death penalty but have no problem with aborting preborn babies. And please don’t tell me that a preborn baby has no soul and therefore is only a “fetus” because Psalm 139 gives the lie to that kind of thinking.
In relation to this, in our current pandemic situation, how many of those that say a woman can do what she wants with her own body advocate forcing people to be vaccinated to combat this Chinese Virus? See any contradictions here? Their rationale seems to be that we should do whatever Big Brother in Washington tells us to do but we are free to ignore Holy Writ when we feel like it. They have it exactly backwards. That seems to be a big problem for the Christian church in our day and because of that, a bigger problem for the country.
Whenever Christians are more willing to obey Harris and Biden than they are the Lord it is always going to be a major problem for the country. And part of this problem is also neutralized Christians that are “so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.” The church needs to be out there confronting the anti-Christ culture and not pretending it doesn’t exist or backpedaling away from it because they don’t want to get involved.
Until this problem gets resolved things will only get worse. It seems today we have too many Christians apologizing to the Devil’s minions for offending them rather than resisting and exposing them for the evil they do.

I want to offer to those of you who have a beating heart love of Dixie and who desire to see a permanent reconciliation of Southern Whites and Southern Blacks based on mutual respect what I think is a good example of how to deal with the race issue as it pops up, as well as a very simple reply to keep at the ready.
On the 29th of August 2020 there was an impromptu rally at the Confederate monument on the Courthouse Square here in Paris, Tennessee. A rumour had begun circulating that Black Lives Matter (a leftist organisation if there ever was one) was going to descend in force and tear the statue down. Within hours several hundred locals had surrounded the statue and remained late into the night. Policemen and deputy sheriffs that were known by name circulated and there was never the beginning of a problem. A few men came decked out like G.I. Joe, but when asked to leave their rifles in their vehicles they complied.
For myself it was a seminal moment. A manifestation for all of us to see that we who would defend Dixie are not alone. That a line has in fact been drawn that will be defended by more than just a handful of hold-outs.
The next day one Dennis Hearod stood guard for I think about thirteen hours. At some point a group of counter-demonstrators showed up and hung out on the northeast corner. Sometime later Mr Hearod struck up a conversation with one of them, a young black woman. By the time they made their farewells, he had not converted her into a flag waving Confederate, but he had opened her mind to the reality that there are in fact two sides to the story as there are to all stories. She had simply never heard ours.
These individual interactions that we have from time to time, be they with whites, blacks, or mochas, is what will in time, bit by bit, allow us to recover the high ground so that the whole truth of our history is known. Not just the part that white commies want remembered.
However, most of the time we'll have neither the time nor perhaps the persuasive powers of a Mr Hearod to give an adequate defence. What we need is a quick, fire-and-forget response.
So, when you are confronted with the Progressive interpretation of race relations in America, in almost any context, just say, 'I like what Larry Elders has to say about it. You can find him on YouTube.'
First of course you'll need to listen to Larry Elders. His episodes are short and engaging. Listening to three or four of them should tell you all you need to know.
I adore Larry Elders. He is an African-American champion of truth, goodwill, and reconciliation who represents yet another reason why I think, at the end of the day, everything is going to be okay.
In my view our long-term strategy must be a genuine and long-term reconciliation of the Southern White and the Southern Black, two step-brothers with a history both bitter and strangely fruitful.

Faye Gaston is a subscriber from Alabama.She is pictured with the recently kidnapped Jefferson Davis Chair.
She reports on the memorial gathering recently held at the Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Alabama.
|
|
The traditional memorial gathering in Live Oak Cemetery in Confederate Memorial Circle (about an acre) in Selma, Alabama, on April 26, 2021, was a time of celebrating the recovery of the stolen memorial chair to Confederate President Jefferson Davis with no damage. Confederate Memorial Circle is privately owned and maintained by Selma Chapter 53, United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). In 2011 the property came to UDC from the Selma City Council. The scenery includes a very tall Confederate soldier monument, a replica bust of Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest, (the stolen original bust was never recovered), artillery pieces, several historical markers with Confederate explanatory texts, pavers with names of Confederate ancestors, etc. It is the site of graves where most Confederate soldiers from Selma are buried, and includes a mass grave of unknown Confederate soldiers.
On this April 26 it includes several different Confederate flags flying, a crowd seated in lawn chairs, a microphone and sound system, a re-enactor (Tyrone Crowley) as President Jefferson Davis seated in his memorial chair, and the President of the Selma chapter 53, UDC, Pat Godwin dressed in an authentic 1860;s dress with a hoop, serving as the MC. Before the program, a host of cameras recorded "President Davis" seated in his chair. The ornately carved chair is three feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. An historical marker by the chair tells about the gift of the chair, his visits to Selma in 1863 and 1871, and that he was released from Union prison in 1867 because "by the Constitution secession is not treason", and U.S. citizenship was restored by President Jimmy Carter in 1977.
Pat Godwin gave the welcome to all, many who drove long distances. She said this was hallowed ground, that the entire South is hallowed ground. She thanked those by name who gave donations toward the "reward fund" of $5,000 from the UDC for information about the theft. "The reward was the attraction that got the talking started" that resulted in arrests and getting the chair returned. She read a quote by General Robert E. Lee and a poem written in 1882 about Confederate Memorial Day.
During the program she added information about the chair. She said the "nightmare" news came as she just had knee surgery. She reported the theft to the police on March 19, 2021. She thought they would never see the chair again. Arrests were made but the investigation is ongoing. The charges include felony theft in Selma, possession of stolen property in New Orleans, and extortion across state lines that is a federal crime, causing the FBI to be involved.
When news media asked her the value of the chair, she said $500,000, but added that its value can't be estimated because "it is irreplaceable. It's priceless." She said it was carved (by the mason who carved the soldier on the monument here) from Alabama limestone from one block in 1893. (She had told the media, "The chair was put here in 1893 (four years after his death). It was put here in honor of President Davis, to honor him for his two visits to Selma, and his recognition of Selma for our contribution to the war." The chair was dedicated to Davis by the Ladies in Selma.
Pat's husband Butch and Benjamin Austin picked up the chair the day before (April 25) in New Orleans and brought it back to the cemetery.
Steve Fitts read the Dallas County Proclamation, a perpetual proclamation for April being "Confederate History and Heritage Month", that told of the Battle of Selma and sites in the county related to the Confederacy.
Chaplain Nelson Andrews gave greetings from Col Christopher C. Pegues Camp #62, SCV, and issued an invitation to join the SCV Camp, and concluded, "By the grace of God, we got the chair back."
Benjamin Austin gave a detailed report on the theft and recovery of the chair that made the national news. He talked about the Dallas County Sheriff asking the New Orleans Police Department for assistance, the reward money, French quarters and tattoo parlor in New Orleans, and a search warrant. Street cameras in New Orleans recorded the chair being removed from storage and placed in a U-haul and driving away. UDC President General Linda Edwards (past president of UDC Alabama division) would not comply to the demands from a group called "White Lies Matter". They threatened to use the chair as a toilet if the UDC did not hang a banner outside the UDC headquarters in Richmond, Virginia, on the anniversary of the Confederate surrender in the War, and leave it there for 24 hours. The banner included a quote from Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army activist wanted by the FBI on the conviction for the 1973 murder of a New Jersey state trooper. She escaped from prison in 1979, fled to Cuba and was granted political asylum there for decades. The group distributed a photo to the media claiming to have used the chair for a toilet, with a man seated on it with his pants down, wearing a Union uniform and holding a Confederate flag to wipe with. A day later, the group said the chair was safe and that a similar chair was used in the photo. The chair was not where they said it was, but the New Orleans police carried out a search warrant and located it, and arrests were made. (The theft was planned last fall.) A report on April 10 said the New Orleans Police Department arrested 3 people and have warrants for additional arrests.
The keynote speaker was Dr. Grover Plunkett from Faulkner University in Montgomery. He said he was "heir to a great civilization" having grown up in the South, spoke about what it means to be a Southerner, gave quotes from the Declaration of Independence, declared our fallen ancestors are heroes, and that one must "choose" to be courageous.
In the "Roll Call of Honor" a bell was rung after each person in the crowd gave the name of a Confederate soldier ancestor and the unit he served in.
The opening and closing prayers were offered by Nelson Andrews, Chaplain, SCV Camp #62. All gave the salute to the Confederate Flag. Dr. Gerald Anderson, member of the same SCV camp. sang "Dixie" as a solo, later led the crowd in singing two verses of "Amazing Grace", and closed the program with all singing "Dixie".
(Law Enforcement involved were the Selma Police Chief, Selma District Attorney, Dallas County Sheriff, New Orleans Police Department, Eight District Detectives, Richmond Police Department, and the FBI. )

Eighteen-year-old Emily Rose Grover and her mother, Laura Rose Carroll, were arrested in March and are now released from the Escambia County Jail on bond. Both are facing 15 years in prison because State Attorney John Molchan told NBC News on Wednesday that he wants to make an example of the mother daughter crime duo to put America on notice that Florida does not tolerate election rigging.
You see, last fall, then seventeen-year-old Emily was running for Homecoming Queen and her mother, a school employee who had access to the computer that counted the votes, manipulated the outcome of the election by changing a couple hundred or so. Substitute Emily for a guy named Joe and mother for a company called Dominion and, you will see the bigger picture.
And just as senile old Joe may have had no clue, perhaps neither did Emily? And by the way, did I mention that at the time of this massive fraud upon the students of J. M. Tate High School Emily was only 17? No to worry, Molchan will prosecute her as an "adult" so that she spends time in the Big House rather than in a "Juvy." Because thats how "tough on crime...law and order...good old boys" take care of business down in Dixie don't you know. And we wonder why we Southerners get such a bad wrap? The horrible stereotypes and all.
And while the State of Florida has already spent millions of dollars investigating this unconscionable crime, it will no doubt spend millions more prosecuting it. Then it will spend nearly a hundred grand a year keeping the mother and daughter in fed, housed, and outfitted in orange jump suits. And all because no expense is too big when it comes to "maintaining the integrity of our elections."
Meanwhile, back at the movie studio 3/4 mock-up "White House" on the military base in Georgia, senile old Joe and Mother Kamala continue to pretend that they are King and Queen of America's Homecoming Ball.
Last week
Deo Vindice!
Dr. Ed
