County votes to offer ‘Old Joe’ to United Daughters of Confederacy
Via Billy
The Confederate statue in
downtown Gainesville commonly known as “Old Joe” will have a chance to
become the property of the group that installed it more than 100 years
ago.
The Alachua County Commission voted 4-1 Tuesday, with Commissioner Lee Pinkoson voting no, to donate the statue to the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the group that had the statue built in 1904. The commission also voted to replace the statue with a piece of art that “represents the shared values” of Alachua County residents.
The commission will give the United Daughters of the Confederacy 60
days to decide if it wants the statue, and the group would have to pay
for its removal.

How Sharia Supremacism and Judicial Imperialism Threaten National Security
Via Billy
What federal judges do not see as fit is Donald Trump. If he orders it, they will undo it, even if it is manifest that the same orders would be upheld if issued by a different president. And the judges’ values tend not to be your values.They value a new, aggressive, and indiscriminate protection of religion — provided that the religion is Islam. Your value is a trifle. Their value is transformed into a right of Muslim immigration, derived from the new, judicially manufactured right of America-based Muslims not to have their self-esteem bruised.
***********************
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal’s ruling against President
Trump’s so-called travel ban empowers both radical Islam and judicial
imperialism. The combination portends lasting damage to the United
States.

Sources refute claim that Nash Farm Battlefield ‘undocumented
Via Billy
In July 2005, the Nash Farm Battlefield property was purchased by Henry County with the intent to serve as “a valuable cultural, historical and educational resource and protect and preserve greenspace,” according to the resolution authorizing condemnation of the property.
In July 2005, the Nash Farm Battlefield property was purchased by Henry County with the intent to serve as “a valuable cultural, historical and educational resource and protect and preserve greenspace,” according to the resolution authorizing condemnation of the property.
The
207-acre parcel was purchased for $8.2 million via eminent domain. The
resolution notes the property was the site of battles and encampments
during the Civil War “which has significant cultural and historical
value and should be preserved for future generations.”
Since
its purchase, the site has hosted numerous events including
re-enactments, living history programs, weddings and holiday
celebrations.
In
February 2011, Friends of Nash Farm Battlefield, an all-volunteer
group, opened the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum on the property. It
housed a collection of artifacts unearthed on the property and numerous
exhibits telling the story of the Nash family and the battle fought on
Nash Farm and surrounding locations.

HERE’S THE COMPLETE AND UPDATED LIST: Deep State ‘Leaks’ to Far Left MSM Outlets – With Analysis
Via Billy
Here is updated analysis of the most recent so called ‘leaks’ being reported and repeated by the liberal mainstream media (MSM) involving President Trump. The probability that a portion of these ‘leaks’ are completely inaccurate remains very high.
The leaks are all being reported by biased liberal media outlets that were adamantly opposed to the election of President Trump.
These ‘leaks’ in all cases still are not supported with any names of so-called sources and in all cases the ‘leaks’ are meant to destroy the current President.
Former FBI Director James Comey reportedly made statements that were revealed in the media ‘leaks’ but to this date he has not corroborated any of the statements he reportedly made after his firing. . Comey was scheduled to go in front of Congress this past week but instead asked to reschedule so he could first talk to Comey’s predecessor at the FBI, Robert Mueller, who is now the appointed Russia Investigation Special Council.
Hopefully Comey’s discussion with Mueller was recorded.

Media Loves New Orleans Mayor Still Fighting Civil War
Via Billy
As the Robert E. Lee monument was being removed last Friday, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave a victory speech to a select group of supporters at Gallier Hall, ironically, a former slave auction house.
In the last week, the speech received lavish praise from the liberal media, both locally and nationally. Landrieu received glowing tributes throughout the mainstream news media, from the pages of the liberal Times Picayune in New Orleans to the editorial page of the liberal New York Times.
In fact, on Sunday, Landrieu will achieve the ultimate award bestowed to a liberal politician, an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.
Surely, partisan Democrat host Chuck Todd will shower Landrieu with praise for having the “courage” to dethrone the four nasty, symbols of white supremacy. Unfortunately, he will probably not ask the Mayor about many of the city’s ongoing problems and unanswered questions.

Stunning news: Trump State Department opens the flood gates, refugee admissions will explode in coming weeks
Via Nancy
Betraying the voters who elected Donald Trump, the Department of State slipped the news to the contractors on Thursday who then slipped the news to the New York Times just as you were packing up for the beach or getting ready for a family barbecue using the federal government’s favorite holiday weekend trick to bury the news.
Forget everything I said in my post yesterday
about Trump’s “average” admissions. If they do as they are now saying
they will, Donald Trump will be responsible for one of six highest
resettlement years since 9/11.***
Manchester here we come!

Henry commissioners on Confederate flag flap: We’re working on it
Via Billy
The Henry County Commission said today that it is looking into the closing of a museum on a county-owned Confederate battlefield, a closure that has roiled the county.
The Henry County Commission said today that it is looking into the closing of a museum on a county-owned Confederate battlefield, a closure that has roiled the county.
“Many are aware of an issue which has caused the Friends of
Nash Farm to announce that their museum will close on June 1st,” the
commissioners wrote in the statement. “This has caused much divisiveness
and controversy in our county. As we continue to hear from concerned
citizens, please know that we will continue to explore the facts more
fully before giving our input on how to proceed to address this issue.”
The commissioners asked for citizen input, but only expressed “in a respectful manner.”
Comments across social media have been anything but civil since the Nash Farm Battlefield Museum closed its doors for good this week.

Leftist Attack Targeting Advertisers On Hannity Show Boomerangs Against MSNBC Liberal Shows
Via Billy
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
It appears the the zeal on the left to get Sean Hannity has boomeranged to hurt some of their own.
Media Matters had been leading an effort to have advertisers pull out of Hannity’s show. So far nine have pulled out, including the financial services company USAA, which sells insurance and other products to members of the U.S. military.
When USAA pulled out, they claimed that they didn’t advertise on opinion shows like Hannity.
However, they got nailed by Media Research Center.
