I think it will need to go further before the woke movement is a reference in a text book and the society over corrects again.

Thousands of cities and towns need to be renamed, STAT!  Jacksonville - gone.  

And hey, if we rename all this stuff, history teachers can skip over teaching reconstruction - the sewing back together of our country!

If the former CSA States refuse to change their name, then they should be expelled from the Union.

John Wayne airport may soon be renamed.

There is a John Wayne airport? Why don't we have a Tom Cruise airport?

John Wayne airport is a pretty large affair and convenient if you want to travel east or south from LA instead of LAX on the beach virtually.

Historically, had South Carolina not fired on Fort Sumpter, things would have been interesting indeed.  Would Lincoln have called for volunteers had SC not started the fracas?

There were no fatalities during the bombardment, though there was one after the fact when a canon blew up.

I was thinking about this thing with defunding or disbandment of police departments. I coming to thing disbanding could be a great way to bust the unions, which are the root of many problems. They have to much power to protect their own.

So, you bust the unions, turn police into regulated professionals (like many have to be), and have a governing board at the state level. Then, cities can hire back the ones they want, and the bad apples are permanently gone.

It could work.

It could work with a lot of the public employee unions, in fact. Start with the CTU in Chicago, and other big cities with shitty schools.

Chicago’s stubborn gun violence has extended into a second consecutive weekend as three separate fatal early morning shootings have added to a growing toll.

Those Sunday deaths followed a bloody Saturday during which six people were killed, including a 1-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl who died in separate shootings.

About 7 a.m., a 19-year-old man was walking near the 1400 block of West Lunt Avenue in the Rogers Park neighborhood, when an unknown male approached him and fired one gunshot in the back on the man’s head. The gunman ran to a black SUV that traveled west on Lunt toward Clark Street, police said.

The man was transported to AMITA Health St. Francis Hospital in Evanston where he was pronounced dead, authorities said.
About 15 minutes later in the South Chicago neighborhood, an 18-year-old man was shot multiple times in the torso in the 8200 block of South Escanaba Avenue, police said. He made it to the 8300 block of South Muskegon Avenue where officers responded and offered aid. He was rushed to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he later died, according to police.


Around 8:30 a.m., a 38-year-old man was walking in a South Lawndale alley in the 2500 block of South Troy Street when an SUV approached the alley and an unknown male exited the vehicle and shot the man multiple times. He was pronounced dead on the scene, officials said.



Four more people were shot after the most recent homicide Sunday.

Gun violence made last week the city’s most violent in Chicago since at least 2012, with at least 106 people shot, 14 fatally. Last Sunday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot was lamenting the death of another child lost to gun violence.

“Our city’s collective heart breaks to hear the unfathomable news of a 3-year-old boy who was shot and killed tonight on Chicago’s West Side,” she said at the time, following the death of Mekhi James.

Then on Saturday, nearly a week after the mayor’s comments, two more children were killed, the victims of errant bullets intended for someone else.

A 10-year-old girl was killed in Logan Square after she was struck in the head by a stray bullet that came through a second-floor apartment window, according to police.

The girl and her 8-year-old cousin were sitting in the front room of an apartment in the 3500 block of West Dickens Avenue when a man fired multiple shots in the alley across the street, police said, citing preliminary information. The 8-year-old’s face was struck with glass.

The incident occurred just after Sincere Gaston, 20-months-old, was fatally shot in the Englewood neighborhood about 3 p.m. Saturday.

Less than two hours after the 10-year-old girl was shot and her cousin injured, another 8-year-old girl was grazed by a bullet on her head. The scene in the West Englewood neighborhood, was similar to the Logan Square shooting in that the girl was indoors when she was shot, police said. She was sitting on a couch inside a home in the 6600 block of South Wood Street when a bullet came through the window.


That 8-year-old girl was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital in fair condition, police said.



In the first six months of the year, Chicago has experienced a large spike in shootings and homicides over the same time last year.
Through last Sunday, the city saw a jump of more than 25% in the number of homicides, reaching 295, which is 60 more than the same period a year ago, according to a review of crime statistics. Ninety-six of those occurred during a 28-day stretch that covered most of June, the statistics show.

The police department and its new superintendent have struggled to get a handle on gun violence that has persisted amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to stay-at-home restrictions.

Most recently authorities have attempted a return to normalcy following the unrest and looting that occurred across the city in the wake of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minnesota on Memorial Day.

Detectives are investigating all three homicides. No arrests have been made.

It is going for sure.  I read where L’Oreal is eliminating the word “whitening” and “ white” from their best selling products. 
I am shocked the White House is not under pressure to change its name.  The word “ white” will be extinct. I am not sure that makes sense in any form, but let’s enjoy the ride.
