The statue at the corner of Main Street and College Avenue in Salem was erected on the Roanoke County Courthouse lawn in 1910. It was placed in honor of those who served in the Civil War, and it was funded by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, Southern Cross Chapter 746. The 28-foot granite statue is of a private in the Confederate Army, and it represents all men from Roanoke County who fought. The soldier faces south (homeward) with his rifle at rest position. The words inscribed on the statue read “In memory of Confederate soldiers of Roanoke County 1861-1865. Love Makes Memory Eternal.”

both parties are fantastic at attending to the interests of their large campaign donors, the 1% & corporations

There are many like him, it's our campaign bribery, er, finance system that results in generic, spineless, if not outright corrupt candidates running for federal office.
And during democratic pres administrations, the congressional voting margins are too small to do anything meaningful/major.

Yet another reason to negate or abolish the Senate - this egregious stupidity is leveraged by the gop. They run & win with weak, grossly under-qualified candidates (mullen et al) in backwater redstates, which helps fortify their majority with rubberstamp minions.

‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Naming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor.

when sarcasm becomes a serious policy proposal because we're stuck on the stupidest timeline ever (so far).
'When a Ukrainian negotiator first mentioned the term, partly in jest, it was as part of an attempt to convince the Trump administration to push back more against Russia’s territorial demands'

Great book, the definitive account of their expedition.

Lewis was an explorer, hunter, & outdoorsman since childhood, being appointed governor of the Louisiana Territory led to his health decline.

And let's not forget about the black workers on the home front in WWII, whose massive bomber production at Detroit's Willow Run plant was not believed by the Nazis because so many workers were black and female. Those bombers destroyed their Reich.
Somebody tell Hegseth his hatred for DEI is not new.

wagging the maga dogma when the real reason he's there is bc he'll do everything he can to lower interest rates as a bandaid for drumpf trashing the economy.
