The newly elected Democrat mayor of Jacksonville, Florida, celebrated the removal of a Confederate statue in the city, which was officially gone before noon Wednesday. Democrat Mayor Donna Deegan, who won her mayoral bid in May, celebrated the removal of the statue in Springfield Park, formally known as Confederate Park. The monument in question, “In Memory of Our Women of the Southland,” depicts a mother with her two children at her side, looking down at a book upon her lap. It was erected in October 1915.

600,000+ people died in the Civil War, and this jackass elects to erase one of the most important events in our history. Shame on her and the people who voted for her.

We need to start calling these statues and (other references) to the Confederacy, statues that honor insurrectionist democrats. After all, this is the party that tried insurrection by starting a war that killed 600,000 people, all in order to keep Blacks as slaves. Members of this party are the ones who shouldn't be allowed to run for office, the 'rat party should be outlawed, and anyone who ever voted for them should be censured and exiled from polite society.

The war was fought over state's rights. We're still fighting it. Only 10% of the population had slaves. When my mother was a little girl, and I'm old as dirt so that tells you how long ago that was, she said they'd sit on the porch while the old men were talking. They said by the end of the war, all they had to fight with was stones. These men never owned slaves and never hoped to.

I am an immigrant to this country. But #7’s point has always intrigued me. If only 10% were slave owners, why did almost 90% including some blacks (negroes as they were called) fight to the death for the Confederacy?

President Joe Biden announced a $250 million weapons package to Ukraine on Wednesday in what officials said could be a final amount of aid from the U.S. unless Congress approves new funding. Biden has asked Congress for another $61 billion in aid to Ukraine, but Republicans are refusing to approve the assistance without an agreement with Democrats to tighten security along the U.S.-Mexico border. The White House has warned that without the additional appropriation U.S. aid for Kyiv will run out by the end of the year.

President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed that the agency is developing a program that will provide border crossers and illegal aliens released into the United States with photo ID cards. For more than a year, Breitbart News has chronicled how DHS is planning to roll out a pilot program that will give border crossers and illegal aliens photo ID cards, similar to a driver’s license, upon their release into the United States interior from the southern border. Now, DHS officials are seemingly confirming their plan to issue photo IDs to such border crossers and illegal aliens.

Last week I wrote about how a good deal of former President Donald Trump's popularity is fueled by pure spite by the people whose lives have been damaged or made harder by the Biden administration's destructive policies.(READ: Trump's Popularity in the Polls Might Not Be About His Popularity) His popularity has risen in part because the Democrats have made it very clear to the American people that they fear Trump, and if the people who've made your life miserable are telling you that they're afraid of someone, you're probably going to gravitate toward that figure and attempt to put him between yourself and them:

Not overdoses, poisoning.”

A federal judge declined to delay the corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) by two months, keeping the previously scheduled timeline on track. Menendez, who is accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, had hoped to move jury selection for his trial from May to July. The trial for Menendez, his wife, and three New Jersey businessmen will begin on May 5, federal Judge Sidney Stein ordered. Menendez’s defense team said that it needed extra time because of the “unprecedented foreign-agent charge against a sitting Senator” and due to the 6.7 million documents that will be used in the case. The judge rejected this argument,

The Biden regime has escalated its war on Texas. Not satisfied with flooding the state with millions of illegal aliens, they now want to stop the state from removing the invaders. The Gateway Pundit previously reported Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill earlier this month known as SB4 which grants state and local law enforcement officials the power to arrest, jail, and prosecute illegal migrants. Moreover, it allows judges to issue de facto deportation orders, thus allowing the state to send back the invaders the Regime has happily allowed in.

The arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens is spurring “the erosion of the quality of life” for New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) says. During a press conference alongside Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Denver, Colorado, Mayor Mike Johnston (D), Adams warned again that New York City is falling into disarray as a result of illegal immigration. Every day, President Joe Biden’s administration releases about 5,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior — many ending up in New York City, where they can work off the books, receive protection from the city’s sanctuary policy, and enjoy free housing
