Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro renamed the Naval Academy building, formerly named after a member of the Confederacy, after the only U.S. president to attend the institution.
Maury Hall, which was named after Matthew Fontaine Maury, considered the father of naval oceanography who joined the Confederacy, will now be known as Carter Hall, named after former President Jimmy Carter, who graduated from the academy in 1946, reads a Navy press release.
“When Secretary Austin directed us to implement the recommendations of the Naming Commission, he instructed us to give proud new names. Names that echo with honor, patriotism, and history. Names that will inspire generations of service members to defend our democracy and our Constitution,” Del Toro said during a renaming ceremony, according to the release. “Today, on the Friday before Presidents Day weekend, that is exactly what we are doing. I can think of no one more worthy of this renaming than President Jimmy Carter.”
At the Naval Academy, the (Naming Commission) suggested the now former Maury Hall, Buchanan Road and Buchanan House, where the superintendent lives, for renaming. USS Chancellorsvile (CG-62) and USNS Maury (T-AGS-66) were also slated for new names. The Navy has not yet announced names for the ships.

But, what’s the change? Likely there were some “folks” working the carter property at one time.
Just announced that Carter is in hospice care.
Those who will not learn from history ...
From the Internet, something that I read a LONG time ago...
“Admiral Rickover, the father of the nuclear Navy, was not just one of history’s most brilliant minds, he was also one of history’s most hands-on leaders. He interviewed every single candidate for the submarine service himself, including the future president. These were long interviews. For two to three hours, Rickover asked Carter about strategy, tactics, physics, literature, and history. Carter had prepared for days, weeks even, and the interview seemed to be going well when Rickover asked, “Where were you ranked in your class at the Naval Academy?” Now, it’s only going to get better, Carter must have thought as he swelled up with pride, “I was ranked 59th in a class of 840 sir.” Carter would recall the surprise of not receiving congratulations, but instead another question:
“Did you always do your best?”
Carter began to instinctively answer that of course he always did his best, but something inside of him caused him to pause. “I recalled several of the many times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies, our enemies, weapons, strategy, and so forth,” Carter would say. So he was honest, “No, sir, I didn’t always do my best.” Rickover didn’t say anything and just looked at Carter for a long time before asking one final question “Why not?” Then he stood up and walked out of the room.”
from the daily stoic
Some think he is the 3rd worst president, with Biden, and Obama, being number’s one and two. 😆🤪😜
I put Woodrow Wilson way ahead of those others.

They will rename the restroom at the Delaware rest stop on 95 after bidet.
... ....USS Chancellorsvile (CG-62) and USNS Maury (T-AGS-66) were also slated for new names. The Navy has not yet announced names for the ships.... this is insanity on steriods..why go through all the bother to rename these two ships..? especially the Chancllorsville.. (well, this may be the reason.....
“The Battle of Chancellorsville, fought from April 30 to May 6, 1863 in Virginia, is widely considered to be Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s greatest victory during the American Civil War.”....
...jus’ askin’ ......
THIRD WORST. JOEY, OBUMMER, THEN THE DEMON WHO WOULDN’T DIE.
I SURE HOPE IT’S A PUBLIC HEAD.
He may have been a real richard head, but I am referring to those in my lifetime.
Jimmy is going on hospice. Time to roll out the lifetime achievement awards and name some buildings after him. Most living people don’t remember his term as president.
Jimmy Carter was not that bad at all.
I just read that he has gone into hospice care at his home. He is 98 years old, and is failing.
I wish him peace and comfort in the time he has left.
