Why Governor Reeves Did Not Get My Vote The election results in the Mississippi governor’s race proved once again that I am not unique. I was forced into using a voting strategy that is not optimal. I would not cast a vote for governor but would vote for all the other Republicans

About a year after this post from Levin, he told me he never called for the destruction of any monuments! I guess he is conflicted. He thinks he is better than me and better than the destroyers. That is a fine line to walk.

Trigger Warning: Video footage of a Battle Flag and other potentially disturbing images. It also contains actual musicians and there are very few people of color. Skynyrd in England in 1976! Lynyrd Skynyrd-Call Me The Breeze

There is no one like him on X. Not when it comes to 19th century American history. @Jeff_Davis1808 is the master. Whether mundane, obscure, or blatantly obvious, he will have a nugget to share. Clink on the link and enjoy a description of a rendezvous of two Americans in Rome.

Where Are the States? I had lunch yesterday with a smart man who has an impressive history of service. He is also well versed in modern politics. The conversation varied and at the end I asked him about the January 6th defendants. He believes that many of the prosecutions are

Expectations From History For “So Called” Conservative Leaders Political labels have become meaningless. Sean Hannity and Victor Davis Hanson are seen as conservatives, and they seem to have given up on the most important conservative principles. In the case of Hanson, he takes

It is not just the left. The center and right are just as culpable. The central government still hates the South and what she stands for. The citizens of the "nation" are satisfied with centralized, big government. #USA

She is so blinded by a narrative she can't take Moses Ezekiel's' word for it. These people will go through contortions to continue hating the South, even when the evidence contradicts them. Ironically, #Antisemitism works the same way. #DefendArlington
