America's Taliban Tirelessly Work to Destroy Our Heritage

 Jared Taylor, now banned from almost every social media venue for his "race-realistic" views on contemporary American society, has a short video decrying the penchant for liberals, Black Lives Matter activists, and Antifa-like vandals to destroy almost everything about our past. This isn't the place to demonstrate the communist connections of many of these social-justice warriors, but the parallels he draws between our 'elites' and the Taliban are disturbing. Their determination to 'reimagine' America's past--despite majorities opposing their actions and at a considerable loss of our heritage--is disturbing. Click "HERE" to view the film. 

Two White Men Face Hate Crime Charges for Defacing BLM Mural in California

    Recently, two white men were arrested in Santa Cruz, California for defacing a BLM mural painted on the street.  Ages 19 and 20, the men were drunk at the time and peeled out in their car over the words "Black Lives Matter." The men will now be charged with hate crimes for leaving black tire marks on the pavement. In their defense, the two stated they were upset with the BLM movement and that they harbored no resentment against Black people as a whole. Their attorney, arguing against the imposition of 'hate crime charges'--which significantly elevate their punishment for the act, held the two had first amendment rights and that BLM was not a 'protected group' covered by hate crimes legislation. This argument failed, and the two vandals are now facing additional charges of a 'hate crime' nature.

  In light of this news, residents in favor of restoring the bust of Robert E. Lee to a place of honor in the county that bears his name wonder what will happen to the drunken white men who defaced the local landmark some years ago. It will be recalled that David Howes, age 46, was arrested on charges of "criminal mischief" on May 9, 2019.  Rather than facing hate crime charges or even any vandalism charges at all, the man who was arrested and who admitted to the vandalism has had all charges against him dropped by the Lee County State's Attorney's office. He was released from all charges before even having to give up the names of his accomplices, paying any fine, or having to perform any community service. Nor has he been placed on probation for causing the damage to the monument. The men were apparently so proud of defacing the public memorial to Lee, that they even posed for pictures afterward. 

    A review of the two cases, along with the release of countless others who have defaced statues across the nation in the summer riots of 2020 leaves many Americans convinced we have today two separate systems of justice in the nation.

Noted Black Economist Walter Williams on the South's Right to Secede

 When Walter Williams, the noted chair of the George Mason University's Department of Economics, passed away in December, 2020 the nation lost a keen mind and one of its most celebrated intellectuals. Professor Williams was an outspoken critic of political correctness and argued throughout his lengthy career that adoption of its precepts went against common sense. A conservative who published many books on economics, he was often interviewed by journalists for his 'take' on current events. His comments during one such interview on whether the South had the right to secede from the Union illustrate why he was so often in the news. See Youtube video: "Walter Williams on the Confederate Flag" (4:54)

Viewers may want to advance to 2 minutes into the interview for his thoughts on this and whether the Civil War was fought primarily to end slavery. Readers will enjoy skimming the over 200 comments others have posted on the professor's thoughts.
