Events From Around the Nation

Arlington National Cemetery:  The Reconciliation (aka Confederate) Monument that was ridiculously removed from the Arlington National Cemetery in December 2023 will be returned to its pedestal by 2027. The statue’s removal was ordered by the “Naming Commission” proposed by Congress in 2021 to strip military bases of Confederate leader names. This was at the height of woke insanity. Here’s some history:

· Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia once belonged to Confederate General Robert E. Lee. After the Civil War, the property was deemed suitable for the final resting place of Union soldiers.

· Confederate soldiers were NOT allowed to be buried at Arlington. In 1900, Congress passed a bill designating a special area for their remains. 

· In 1906, United Daughters of the Confederacy sought to raise money to erect a memorial in the Confederate section. 

· THREE U.S. presidents endorsed the monument. 

· It was installed in 1914 and is located in the center of Section 16, where nearly 500 Confederate soldiers, sailors and civilians rest in peace.

Florida: Three innocent people died last week because an ILLEGAL ALIEN was given a California commercial driver’s license and made an illegal U-turn on a highway with an 80,000 pound, 18-wheeler. We would like to see Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issue an arrest warrant for California Governor Gavin Newsom.

California: Republicans are about 40 percent of the vote in California, but only have 17 percent of the congressmen in the U.S. House of Representatives. Governor Gavin Newsom wants there to be even fewer Republicans in the House! Click here to post your comment against Newsom’s plan to take redistricting from the independent commission. Proposition 50 will be on the November 4, 2025 ballot.

Texas: Contact Texas leadership and tell them their revised redistricting map should add MORE Republican districts!

Events From Around the Globe 

Germany:  Renk is a German defense contractor with headquarters in Augsburg. The company wants to continue exports to Israel. The way they can bypass Germany’s antisemitic embargo to Israel would be by expanding to the United States. 

To share your thoughts with Renk CEO Alexander Sagal: Email: info@renk.com

Greece:  Has declared a “National Emergency” and ordered mass deportations of illegal aliens after seeing a surge of arrivals on the island of Crete. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced that Greece will suspend for three months the processing of asylum applications for immigrants arriving by sea from North Africa. He plans to ask Parliament to vote on this as an urgent amendment.

Israel: A so-called two-state solution is a suicide pact for Israel. Our US State Department, led by the outstanding Marco Rubio, has officially backed Israel’s E1 housing plan that links Jerusalem and Maale Adumim. The project will add nearly 7,000 housing units. What makes this important is that there can be no ridiculous two-state solution since the housing would block the territorial contiguity between Ramallah and Bethlehem. Yada-Yada-Yada, pro-Hamas leftists are calling this a threat to peace talks. Let’s be honest, if the Allies bombed Auschwitz during World War II, leftists would have called that a threat to peace talks.
