This magnificent 120 yr old statue was removed by Republican mayor Sandy Stimpson June 5, 2020.

Publisher's Note from Gene Kizer, Jr.: The six chapters of Memoirs of Service Afloat During the War Between the States, by Admiral Raphael Semmes, published in this and the two previous blog posts, are the most outstanding, accurate and complete argument on the causes of the War Between the States that I have ever read in a short analysis.

Semmes covers everything and leaves nothing out. He is right about both North and South believing in States Rights until about 1830, which is only 31 years before the war.

What changed was the massive immigration into the North that made them aware of their sectional strength. By 1860, Northerners realized if they could just rally their votes, they could take over the government and have higher tariffs than ever, such as the astronomical Morrill Tariff, as well as more bounties, subsidies, monopolies and any other way they could conceive of to increase their wealth and power.

 Company to let Utah Jazz suite remain empty over NBA's 'political  propaganda' | KUTV

 Calling recent actions by NBA players, coaches, and the league itself "almost beyond expression," a Utah company plans to let its licensed suite at Vivint Smart Home Arena to "remain dark and unused" as a response.

SME Steel Contractors sent a letter to Utah Jazz owner Gail Miller expressing "disappointment and disillusionment" with the recent actions done by the league in the aftermath of May's killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The company says it has spent "approximately $6 million" by licensing a full suite to all home games since 1992.

The letter -- signed by CEO Craig Moyes, owner Jerry Moyes, President Dieter H. Klohn, and VP of finance Gordon K. Holladay -- begins with a breakdown of SME Steel's history with the Jazz before explaining why the company is taking such actions.
