"I am going to interrupt the tariff discussion for a second, to tell everyone that the effort to remove the statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest has failed." I've mentioned before one of my great-grandfathers, fresh off the boat, served the Union in the western theater, had encounters with Forrest.
Thank God, both lived to tell the stories.

So the statue of the treasonous, racist, anti-Catholic bigot who was the first Grand Wizard of the KKK still stands. Sad day.
