"A Memorial to the Erased Statues and Monuments".
In one of history's more bitter-sweet ironies, a Trump-appointed black federal judge attempted - ultimately, without success - to stop the removal of the Confederate Memorial from Arlington National Cemetery.
I had a fantasy, in the event I had bought those 40 acres on Booger Holler Road in Stanly County, of offering a permanent home to unwanted statues and memorials. Wish I had done it.
So desperate that they're willing to let this scumbag represent them in an election for a senate seat: "Graham Platner Won't Apologize for His Offensive Posts".
Graham Platner may be running for the U.S. Senate. He'd rather run from his past — and, of course, the reporters asking about it.
On Saturday, the Democrats’ presumptive nominee in Maine was confronted with a very simple question: whether he regretted making a now-deleted Reddit post in which he wrote that a wounded Purple Heart recipient "didn't deserve to live.”

Might need to check the rule book on that one.

"Try to stay focused, ma'am."
Strange how one careless second can ruin your whole morning.
Dozens of apparent gunshots heard in the vicinity of the White House.

It would give me great pleasure to not watch this show for the rest of my life.
And, naturally, as Colbert's sedan chair was being carried to the landfill of late-night talk shows, the spectacle of a handful of sycophantic, like-minded TDS sufferers skipping along in front of him, scattering rose petals, will probably crystalize in the so-called mind of this insufferable partisan hack the delusion that he was driven off the air by the President of the United States - a false conviction that will forever be impervious to the plain fact that his shtick was a fountain of red ink for the network.

Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.

Of course, when you think about it, is there that much difference between The View and, say, MS Now? Except for the fat and ugly factor, of course.
"Abigail Spanberger Takes Ball And Goes Home After Her Gerrymander Gambit Epically Failed".
Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger is telling her fellow party members it is time to move on from redistricting after her state’s highest court ruled her endorsed gerrymander was unconstitutional.
Spanberger told the New York Times in an interview published Friday that it is “outrageously premature” for her fellow Democrats to be focused on redistricting, calling the midterms ahead the “most consequential midterms” of her lifetime. This comes just a week after the United States Supreme Court declined to take up Virginia Democrats’ appeal following the state’s Supreme Court May 8 ruling that lawmakers violated the state’s constitutional procedural requirements by advancing the pro-gerrymander amendment after early voting had already begun.
Looks like she's desperately trying to wipe that dog turd off of her shoes, but people may not have such short memories as she thinks:
Before courts nixed it, Spanberger strongly supported the gerrymander — which she signed into law herself — and the “yes” campaign to greenlight it at the ballot box. The gambit also received the support of former President Barack Obama.
There does seem to be one good thing that came out of all this (in addition to the gerrymandering attempt being defeated):
A Washington Post poll released in early April found that Spanberger was less popular than each of the eight governors of Virginia before her, including both Democrats and Republicans.
