General Hill’s Body Stands a’ Molderin’ in the Grave…

Dear Editor, Delighted to read the references to Confederate General A.P. Hill in the latest front page Rant. Living within spitting distance of the general’s monument/grave, I thought your readers might enjoy a bit more about his postmortem adventures and how he manages, even in death and to this day, to make his presence felt. Fatally shot in battle less than two weeks before hostilities ended at Appomattox, he was hastily buried in Chesterfield County, then two years later dug up and reinterred in Hollywood Cemetery, in a spot years later deemed unsuitable for one of his stature. In the early 1890’s, as the whitewashing …

That Fraudulent Democrat [sic] Party

To the Editor: [Note: Mr. Ewing’s statistics have, in the past, proven to be dubious. He throws them around with such abandon that fact-checking them all is impractical. We therefore issue this blanket warning: caveat lector. – The Ed.] The Democrat Party’s greatest fraud is that it cares about Black people.

They have Black people, and white poor people, and red poor people, and Puerto Rican poor people, and Latin American poor people, poor people of all descent.

We don’t think you fight fire with fire best; we think you fight fire with water best. We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with Black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism. We’ve stood …

The American Devolution

Well, let’s see here…2020, subtract 1776…yup, looks like tomorrow, the Fourth of July, will mark this country’s 244th birthday. How shall we celebrate? We understand that El Presidente will be visiting South Dakota. Flying in on Air Force One is his subtle way of letting us know that he thinks his face belongs on Mount Rushmore. After all, what has Lincoln done for anyone lately? It pains us to say this, but in a way he’s right. After all, the so-called “Shrine of Democracy” is a grandiose monument created by a monomaniacal racist on land stolen by the government from the Sioux. Some Sioux have …

Mystery Woman Not Dead Yet

Despite being placed in confinement Thursday morning in the state whose slogan is “Live Free or Die”—by agents of the FBI, Attorney General William Barr, proprietor—Ghislaine Maxwell, as we go to press, still has not been reported to have committed suicide, fatally fallen through the bars from an upper-floor cell onto a busy thoroughfare, or suddenly contracted a case of Covid-19 severe enough to necessitate a medically-induced coma. Maxwell’s whereabouts have been the subject of intense speculation since the arrest last year, and death in jail, of her former lover and long-time associate, the notorious convicted sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Sweeney, Assistant Director of …
