Via The Charlotte Observer, University of Kansas professor Robert C. Schwaller points out that today’s Confederate sympathizers are redoubling their efforts to whitewash–I use that term advisedly–the legacy of chattel slavery.

The Conclave 0

Title:  Just Another Day in Washington.  Trump:  People say Trump is a dictator.  I'm  not a dictator.  I just have the right to do anything I want, because I'm president.  Vance:  An important distinction, sir.  And, if I may add, sir--you should get ten Nobel prices.  The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are basically over, if you ignore the fact that they are not.  Trump:  Many people are saying it.  Hegseth:  Also, sir, you are a war hero president, commanding the warfighters of the War Department.  You provide warriors like me with more clarity and purpose than a fresh bottle of gin.  Trump:  I deserve some military metals.  Hegseth:  Consider it done.  Vance:  And, you are absolutely not a dictator, but it would totally okay if you wre, considering you have now eliminated all crime in D. D. in a matter of days.  Hegseth:  And despite what the lying media say, your ankles are slim and lively to behold.  Miller (materializing from a flying bat):  Let's not forget--only you have the sheer will necessary to eradicate all Democrat scum like the vermin they are.  Trump:  An excellent talking point, Creepy Guy.  Be sure to use that when you do media hits.  Now, lets get to work.  What American company should I shake down next?  Flying Bat:  Waffle House seems woke to me sir.  Trump:  You know, maybe everyone shold call me a dictator!  Just a joke.  Until it's not.  Vance:  Jawohl, mein Fuhrer.

Michael in Norfolk decodes de code. A snippet:

Project 2025, the blue print for the Felon’s second term is basically a white “Christian” nationalist agenda that in many ways seeks to undo the progress made in the realm of civil rights since the early 1960’s, for black Americans, women and other minorities. Hence the Felon’s aggressive attacks on diversity equity and inclusion – in his mind, anytime some non-white or non-heterosexual individual advances economically or socially, it’s at the expense of white, heterosexual right wing “Christians.”

America’s original sin of chattel slavery and the myth of racial superiority fabricated to justify it continue to take their toll.

At The Coloarado Sun, Mike Littwin reports that he has found a quotation from George Orwell that illuminates why the Trump maladministration is attacking the Smithsonian (and I would add, by extension, universities and other institutiolns of learning and remembrance):

From Orwell’s “1984”: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

Follow the link to see why he thinks that to be the case.
