“And where is that band who so vauntingly swore,
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country, should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave.”
Key was writing a poem not only about the events of the naval bombardment of Ft McHenry, but also the failed British landing force and the Battle of North Point. The Battle of North Point wiped out a British led land force intended to attack Baltimore. Thus the “foul footsteps pollution”

No FReeper reading here should forget that Maryland’s so called Republian governor Hogan (who thinks he’s powerbroker for President) had the statue memorializing Roger B. Taney Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court removed from the campus of Maryland’s State House. All because of a Court decision. Taney was a very bright jurist and lawyer for his day.

Of course, the Frederick Douglas Bridge.
The Star Spangled Banner says “no refuge shall save the hireling and the slave.” It means slave literally, as the British recruited slaves into their military with promises of freedom. The British did the same in the Revolutionary War and of course the Union in the Civil War.

Yes, that pathetic criminal who died of a drug overdose. Could be worse, how about the Biden bridge? Perhaps they can add the train tracks so little “Joey” can ride.

If they change the name of it on paper, but everyone continues to call it the Francis Scott Key Bridge
Even though Andrew Cuomo named the new Tappan Zee Bridge after his father Mario, aka il sfaccim, it's still referred to as the new Tappan Zee Bridge. The old bridge was named for fmr Gov Malcolm Wilson in 1994, but everyone still called it the Tappan Zee, named for the Tappan Tribe, who lived along the west bank of the Hudson River. Leave it to a woke liberal moron to try to remove a vestige of local Native history.

How about the Babe Ruth bridge?
Speaking of baseball the Houston Astros since they no longer play at the Astrodome should revert back to their old name, the Colt 45's . That would, no pun intended TRIGGER the Karens at Moms Demand Action and the other gun grabbers 😝😝

And every MLK Boulevard is a crime-ridden $hithole. This is a good thing. If you are travelling to a city that is new to you, you now know where to buy your drugs.
Chris Rock, long ago when he did stand up said, if you find yourself at the corner of MLK and Malcolm X Blvd, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!

The OJ Simpson Memorial Bridge. What could be more appropriate than naming a replacement bridge after a famous acquitted murderer, wife abuser, sport hero, movie star and Black Cultural icon.
