Ooo, like what?
I've read a review of the book.  I believe the myths dispelled are about Cobb's supposed racism and dirty play.  Somebody in the '30s or '40s with an axe to grind wrote a basically unsourced bio on him that wrongly became the "gold standard" for Cobb info.

It would be almost unprecedented for the president to send federal troops to a state or city over the governor's/mayor's objection.  IIRC, the only times since Reconstruction that that has happened was when Ike sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock in 1957 and JFK sent troops to force Ole Miss to let USAF veteran James Meredith enroll in 1962.
Ive  reconsidered and kinda go with others view

as long as they dont destroy property of hurt anyone I think the better move is to sit back and let the country see just what happens when you have an idiot for mayor and governor for that matter

There were the soldier's protests in 1931 I think over pensions in DC broken up by MacArthur and Federal troops.

I guess those ladies didn't think she was genuine in her support of their cause
It's called a lack of trust. We need to build trust - both ways.

They're called gnats in FL.

Just wait for lovebug season - your car has no idea what's coming.
No, they are called no-see-um. Gnats don't bite. No-see-um's bite, and you don't feel (or see) the bite until the next day.

I went through love bug season, and yes, my car was a disaster.

Back in Illinois now. The weather is different. Had to put pants on last night and this morning, for the first time in 7 weeks.

Headed up to Kenosha soon, to prep the boat for living on this summer.

Statement by Tennessee's Governor, in response to rumors about a planned takeover in Nash Vegas. You Go, Mr. Guv:



"We encourage Tennesseans to exercise their First Amendment rights and have seen many examples of peaceful protests across our state in recent weeks,” Lee said in a statement Friday. “As demonstrations continue, we will continue to protect Tennesseans' right to peaceful assembly, while also reassuring citizens that lawlessness, autonomous zones, and violence will not be tolerated.


“Further, Tennessee law expressly prohibits camping on state property not expressly designated as a campground area, and that law will be enforced,” Lee added.

19 percent of Wisconsin's positive tests are black people, which comprise 6 percent of Wisconsin's population. 

The Xi Virus is racist!! 

What will the Wuhon Health Organization say about this?!?

The so-called "Bonus Expeditionary Force."  They wanted their bonuses from WWI, payable IIRC in 1942, to be paid immediately.  Pres. Hoover told Chief of Staff MacArthur to evict them without using violence.  MacArthur told Patton to evict them and didn't mention the part about no violence.
It was in D.C., which did not have home rule at the time, so it all took place on federal property.
