Do we really deserve our rich History?

Do Americans even deserve their statues?   . . . "As such, once we realize what these statues mean, we are left with a question.  We know what kind of great, great grandparents we had.  But what kind of great, great grandchildren are we? We have asked these days whether our statues are worthy of us.  A more reasonable question is whether we are worthy of our statues."

Charlie Daniels: CNN Produces More 'Bull' than I Pull Out of My Barn

Townhall

"Singer Charlie Daniels, known for his incredibly popular "Devil Goes Down to Georgia" diddy from 1979, posted one heck of a tweet about CNN this week.

"Daniels, who is safely the most talented violinist in the conservative movement, said he has seen more "bull" on Jeff Zucker's network than his own barn."

✔@CharlieDaniels

I'll just come out and say it
i know bovine scatology I raise bulls
One CNN broadcast contains more than we dig out of our barn in a year

. . . 

Daniels has also been speaking out about the movement to take down Confederate statues across the country after the devastation in Charlottesville. Erasing history is an ISIS-like tactic, he argued.

"If you don't like it, don't look at it," he said."

Kathy Griffin No Longer Sorry Over Decapitated Trump Photo

Legal Insurrection

"Kathy Griffin appeared on Australian TV today and told the hosts she’s no longer sorry for posting a picture of her holding the decapitated head of President Donald Trump. She said:

“I am no longer sorry, the whole outrage was B.S., the whole thing got so blown out of proportion and I lost everybody. Like, I had Chelsea Clinton tweeting against me. I had friends, Debra Messing from ‘Will and Grace,’ tweeting against me.”

. . . 

"That’s when host Samantha Armytage popped in and reminded Griffin that Chelsea Clinton and Messing are not Trump supporters. Democrats even went after her over the photo. She asked Griffin if holding the head was over the line.

Griffin told the host she’s full of crap, with a little laugh I guess to try to make it sound like she’s joking, but continued:

“Stop acting like my little picture is more important than talking about the actual atrocities that the president of the United States is committing.”

"She also claimed she spoke to Australians that have told her they’re scared to come to America."

What if the Russians hack the eclipse? Dave Barry answers your celestial questions

"Scientists tell us that during the eclipse UPS trucks will appear to be green, microwave ovens will actually make food colder, and any Starbucks beverage with a name ending in “ino” will spontaneously explode. Also all of the television sets on Earth, even those that are turned off, will simultaneously show the same “My Pillow” commercial."

Dave Barry

"On Aug. 21, the United States, having won a bidding war against Qatar for the rights, will host a total solar eclipse. To help you get maximum enjoyment from this rare celestial event with minimal injury or death, here’s an eclipse Q&A:

"Q. What causes a total eclipse to happen?

"A. The best way to understand it is to imagine that the Earth is a cantaloupe, and the moon is a grape. The grape travels in a circular path (technically called a “trajectory”) around the cantaloupe, while at the same time the cantaloupe travels around a flaming basketball representing the sun. Once in a great while, the grape reaches a certain point (the “hypotenuse”) that causes it to cast an unusually harsh shadow (the “penumbra”) and the resulting reduction in temperature extinguishes the basketball, thus plunging the cantaloupe into total darkness.

"Q. So you’re saying that during an eclipse the sun actually goes out?

"A. Only for a few minutes. It usually comes back.

"Q. What if it rains on Aug. 21?

"A. The eclipse will be held the following Monday." . . .
