and even they couldn't support today's liberal agenda of open borders. Says a lot!

Keep in mind that McConnell is gradually turning the court.

Democrat led sanctuary cities lose again. More winning for Trump and America.

I guess my big question is why does every damn thing have to be approved, seconded, modified, denied, or whatever by a court? That seems much more like usurpation by one of the three branches than part of a system of checks and balances ... like when are we just going to be run by a triumvirate of un-elected federal judges.

The court has unfortunately become the most powerful branch of government.

For all of the Yankees and Cultural Marxists on this board, I inform you that tomorrow, Saturday, June 13th is NATHAN BEDFORD FORREST Day in Tennessee.

I am sure that Lying Ted Cruz and the Bolshevik presidential candidates will condemn it.

Racial Politics Roil Democratic Party

Democrats who have called President Trump and his policies racist are now pointing fingers at one another on issues of race.

Allegations of racial insensitivity are flying between the 2020 Democratic contenders, as well as between House Democrats, raising concerns that internecine squabbles over identity and race are tarnishing party leaders and distracting Democrats from their goal of ousting the president in 2020.

The racially charged controversies that have swirled around former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), 79, have also put a spotlight on the generational rift within the party.


Longtime Democratic leaders are facing new scrutiny from their younger peers over their past records. And they’re being called out for their rhetoric, which in some cases has offended the younger generation of liberals.

Frustrated lawmakers say the backbiting over race has gotten out of control. They want to see it come to an end so Democrats can return their focus to their agenda in the House and defeating Trump at the ballot box.

Tensions exploded on Capitol Hill this week after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) accused Pelosi of singling out women of color for criticism, as divisions linger over the passage of a $4.6 billion border bill.

Fort Pillow alone is enough for him to not be honored. Even if he didn’t know, like he claims, the buck stops with him.

It was a horrible war, and a lot of soldiers and innocent civilians died. There were plenty of senseless killings and starvation of civilians from the Nothern side too.

That's true. On the other hand the Union placing black troops there wasn't likely going to be a winning strategy from any standpoint.

Me too.

Guess Ft Sherman needs to be renamed and the Lincoln monument needs to come down by that standard.

I fail to see that is any worse than any number of atrocities in war.

Lee just wants to honor a Democrat from way back when.

The mass killing of POW’s, who were trying to surrender according to reporters on site, are not forgivable.

Sounds like some folks need to read up on Sherman's march to the sea.

Well I think the president is a few steps removed from the on the field general. And Sherman is a war criminal in my mind as well.

Reading up on his views on the black population and his treatment of native Americans would be enlightening.

I don't judge those people by today's standards, and certainly not as harshly as you do. Without walking a mile in their shoes, it is tough for me to judge people that lived 150 years ago. You could have done the same 150 years ago. Who knows?

Nope, that's never a good look.

I guarantee that it happens in every war.

Yep, Yankees were pretty fond of torches, too ... and not at all discriminating whether they burned civilian or military homes and food stores.

Sounds like us southerners are justified for some reparations.
