General William Tecumseh Sherman was Correct about Blacks
As General Sherman stated as he marched to the sea, he stated that all blacks should be given 40 acres of land after their release from slavery.

Deflection – Democracy or Republic
How did the Framers see the United States Government? Did the Framers see the US government as a democracy? The members to Democratic Party continuously state that our government is a democracy.

The Fickle Democrats
It is amazing to watch the Democrats change their view on issues to fit public support through the years. Just take the issue of peace from the Vietnam conflict to the Russian/Ukraine war.

Journal Entry – Snowbird – Day Eighteen
The silence is deafening. This is how I felt at about 3:00 today setting in my truck in the packing lot of Melrose National Historical Park. As the handout states, “a cotton kingdom estate.” Just imagine a 132-acre plantation with a labor force of 28 people. (The owners, the McMurrens, had five plantation with 1,000…

Journal Entry – US Air Force Band
What an evening? Can anyone believe that the US Air Force Band was playing in the preforming arts building on the UW-W campus on Veterans Day? Strictly unbelievable.
