Confederate Heritage Month and the Death of the Lost Cause There is something revealing about a political document that says almost nothing.

The Lost Cause is not gone from Mississippi, but it has been exiled from the public square to the margins where its remaining adherents quietly celebrate and its official sponsors quietly comply. kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/confederat...

Confederate Heritage Month and the Death of the Lost Cause There is something revealing about a political document that says almost nothing.

If the state of Mississippi issues a proclamation recognizing April as Confederate Heritage Month that nobody reads, does it really exist? 🤣 #CivilWarMemory open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

Well said.
You went through the stages and meanings of the agonizingly slow death of the lost cause lie more succinctly than most people who are intellectually aware of U.S. history — myself included.

Cookies, deodorant, socks. Iran war puts military packages in limbo Thousands of boxes sent to service members in Middle East are stuck in limbo. The Postal Service has indefinitely suspended delivery amid Iran war.

You ever wonder if maybe, just maybe, all the patriotic language is an op—a front for something else?

This is just stupidity run amok.

The most powerful military in the world must be constantly supplied. Military logistics specialists can tell you how much food, water, or toilet paper each service member needs every day. They know much of it will need to be purchased from foreign suppliers close to area of conflict.

No. This as a prime example of the lunatic running the asylum. The first thing they did was dismiss everyone they did not like. Of course a large number of those folks had the combat support & combat service support expertise. In other words they supply the BEANS & bullets the warriors rely on.

Facts are just such a stubborn thing.

Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country.

Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade.

CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay.

The greed of union-busters knows no end.

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position?

RUSS VOUGHT: Yes

BOYLE: That's laughable!

This May Be It For the United Daughters of the Confederacy in Virginia Last week Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger signed legislation ending the practice of issuing specialty license plates for the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

The Lost Cause has effectively been gutted in Virginia. To add insult to injury, Spanberger's decision to end the UDC's tax-exempt status took place during Confederate History/Heritage Month, which Virginia no longer recognizes. Oh well. #CivilWarMemory kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/this-may-b...

It is long past time to put those folk and the lost cause narrative to their final rest.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
