(The Abbeville Institute) – With the Thanksgiving of 2023 in the rearview mirror, I am still thankful for the over 9000 Americans who submitted comments around the removal of the Confederate Memorial in Arlington Cemetery. Only 10% of the comments supported the decision to remove the memorial. Over eight thousand Americans wrote in defense of the Confederate Memorial, and over 364 people mentioned grave disturbance specifically which I wrote about in August (see The Most Effective Way – Abbeville Institute ). I am thankful for the Abbeville Institute publishing my voice. The Confederate Memorial plinth over the unknown graves will remain. But its bronzes are deep in the crosshairs.

Despite the overwhelming public response, the United States Army and Arlington National Cemetery are hellbent on appeasing the destructive minority. The public comment period for the environmental assessment on the Confederate Memorial’s bronze removal is open and ends December 2nd 2023. You can find it here: NEPA (arlingtoncemetery.mil) I freely give all rights to the below, should you choose to copy and paste my work as your own comment.

By ignoring the majority, which the U.S. Army admits in their conclusion, they are likely running afoul of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). In 1978, the President’s Council of Environmental Quality issued regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500-1508) to implement NEPA. These regulations are binding on all federal agencies. The regulations address the procedural provisions of NEPA and the administration of the NEPA process, including the preparation of environmental impact statements. Reading directly from the federal statute, we find:

“The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a procedural statute intended to ensure Federal agencies consider the environmental impacts of their actions in the decision-making process. Section 101 of NEPA establishes the national environmental policy of the Federal Government to…

(The Imaginative Conservative) – The irony of Jefferson’s conception of a republican future for the United States was that the establishment and maintenance of a simple, peaceful, agrarian republic required an aggressive foreign policy that virtually ensured conflict with other peoples and nations.

Like most of his contemporaries, Thomas Jefferson believed that republican government was, at best, fragile and precarious. It could succeed only if the people retained a steadfast devotion to the common welfare. Federalists and Democratic-Republicans agreed that a healthy republic required an economic, social, and political order that shaped, rewarded, and maintained a virtuous citizenry. The principal task of government was to secure social, political, and economic institutions that sustained moral character, and thereby aided in the preservation of the republic itself.

After the Americans won independence, when the thorny issues of social and economic development became central to political debate, Federalists and Democratic-Republicans also agreed that the new nation should be a republic. But within this broad and increasingly ambiguous consensus, members of the emerging political parties differed sharply over a wide range of issues. At stake always seemed to be nothing less than the character of the American people and the fate of the republic itself.

The election of 1800 that brought Jefferson to the presidency was one of the closest and ugliest in American history. The supporters of…

(Balitmore Sun) – Without any fanfare or warning Wednesday, four Confederate-linked monuments were loaded into two trucks that left Baltimore for Los Angeles, where they will eventually be shown in an art exhibit put on by nonprofit visual art space LAXART and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

But the exhibit that will mix Confederate statues with contemporary art, initially anticipated to open this fall, has been postponed to 2025. The statues, some now missing parts after being vandalized while stored in a Baltimore impound lot, will remain out of public sight for a while longer, albeit in a different city, according to a Baltimore official.

The hurried change of lodging marks the beginning of a new era for the monuments, which had sat for years in statue purgatory after being “quickly and quietly” decommissioned before dawn in August 2017 after a deadly neo-Nazi protest over a Confederate statue’s planned removal in Charlottesville, Virginia.

“I’m gonna take a deep breath,” now that…

He Renounced discrimination but still faces cancelation

(The College Fix) – Middle Tennessee State University is trying again to remove the name of Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate lieutenant general and former Klan leader. His name is on the school’s Army ROTC building.

This is the university’s second attempt, as it unsuccessfully filed a similar petition in 2018.

In a recent hearing before the Tennessee Historical Commission, MTSU argued its case to obtain a waiver under the state’s Heritage Protection Act to rename Forrest Hall.

University representatives will participate in a final hearing before the commission early next year. The commission will issue a ruling within 30 days. To gain the authority to rename Forrest Hall, MTSU would need to obtain a 2/3rds vote in its favor from the commission, or at least 20 votes from the 29-member board.

MTSU media representatives did not respond to…

(Post & Courier) – It’s been more than a year since a massive Confederate battle flag was raised on a flagpole over Interstate 85 in Spartanburg County as the legal battle between the county and the property owner inches forward.

Spartanburg County has sued the Spartanburg County Board of Zoning Appeals’ determination that the property owner wasn’t required to have a permit to construct the towering pole, which allowed the flag to keep flying.

On Nov. 27, parties on either side of the legal action argued before Circuit Judge Mark Hayes on the issue of whether a permit should have been required. Hayes will rule at a later date.

On Aug. 6, 2022, the South Carolina state flag was raised for two months before the Confederate battle flag was raised on the same 120-foot-tall pole. The Confederate flag has continued to fly where more than 80,000 vehicles pass by it daily.

The Spartanburg County Planning and Development Department issued on Oct. 21, 2022, a notice of violation citing…

(HistoryNet) – Thanks to a resounding wave of recent public support, the Texas Civil War Museum’s board of directors has decided to keep the museum in Fort Worth, Texas, open, reversing a decision made earlier this year to permanently close the facility to the public on December 30, 2023. Museum artifacts currently in possession of The Horse Soldier Antiques in Gettysburg, Pa., and Heritage Auctions in Dallas, will continue to be sold and auctioned off to endow the museum.

The museum’s current hours of operation will remain the same: Thursday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Marcus Richey, son of retired museum president Ray Richey, will continue in his present role as museum director.

Lt. CiC Walter Donnie Kennedy Announces for SCV Commander-in-Chief

(Source) – As announced via our August 16, 2023, video on Rumble, I will be seeking your support in the upcoming election for Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. All our lives, Ron and I have been intrigued by the history of our Southern “kith and kin.” We were taught Southern history from the first and second generation of post-war family and friends. This knowledge became our sure bulwark against Yankee mis-information and out-right falsehood about our people. With the publication of the first edition of The South Was Right, we began an effort to inform Americans in general and Southerners in particular about the correctness of the Cause of the South, and the deleterious results for all Americans stemming from the defeat of the Confederate States of America.

It is with that resolve that I am attempting to join my fellow SCV members, as the C-i-C of the SCV and push forward the efforts begun five years ago to “take back the narrative.” Simply put, this means making the SCV a wellknown organization that is leading the fight against neo-Marxist destruction of traditional American values. In the past few years, the national SCV has begun using tools such as the One-Click Politics, Kaplin Polling services, and Nationwide pro-South ads to punch back at our enemies. I pledge to all SCV members and Southerners to never leave the field of battle until the enemy is laid waste. As I have stated many times in articles and speeches, WE CAN WIN! We do not have to accept defeat. Anything lost can and will be restored and most importantly, as Southerners, our equal Rights as Americans will be secured. God bless the SCV and God Save The South!

James Ron Kennedy Announces for SCV Lt. Commander-in-Chief

We can win in court—the court of public opinion. As a matter of fact, recent opinion polls show that we are winning! Our challenge is to find effective ways to motivate the public to actively support our efforts to protect Southern heritage and all traditional, conservative values. I am running for Lt. Commander-in-Chief, Sons of Confederate Veterans to not only maintain our efforts but to expand them! I am asking you for your support to win this office and afterwards to help us expand our efforts to vindicate the Cause for which our ancestors fought.

Retention and recruitment are the primary functions of the SCV’s Lt. C-i-C. Using local, statewide, and national advertising we can (1) turn passive supporters into active supporters, (2) gain new camp members, (3) encourage retention of camp members and (4) put weak “conservative” elected officials on notice that the SCV is a nationwide organization that is actively defending and vindicating the Cause of Southern heritage in local, state, and national courts as well as in the court of public opinion! With your support and God’s blessings we shall defeat our leftist enemies and vindicate the Cause. Deo Vindice.
