District Judge Rossie Alston, who was appointed by President Trump, has just come to the rescue by issuing a restraining order stopping the left from removing a Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. Thankfully, sanity has prevailed, at least for now.
Collin Rugg, the co-founder of Trending Politics, had this to say about the bombshell development:
BREAKING: Trump appointed U.S. District Judge Rossie Alston has issued a restraining order halting the removal of a Confederate memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.
The memorial removal began on Monday but was halted after Alston’s order was issued.
Alston explained that the lawsuit brought forward by Defend Arlington claimed the removal of the memorial involves the disturbance of gravesites.
In a footnote, Alston noted that he “takes very seriously the representations of officers of the Court and should the representations in this case be untrue or exaggerated the Court may take appropriate sanctions.”

This issue began with the Biden administration’s draconian decision, driven by their agenda to erase our nation’s history, to remove the Reconciliation Monument. Ironically, this monument was erected to commemorate the reconciliation between the North and South. However, the left is obviously not interested in the concept of reconciliation and is working diligently to dismantle as many statues and monuments as possible, in hopes of reshaping our America under the banner of “critical race theory,” which, by the way, represents one of the most divisive and hateful movements in our nation’s history.

Sean Davis, the editor of The Federalist, put it best when he explained what the left was really doing in tearing down this statue and how much farther they’re willing to go. Here’s what he said:
The destruction of the Reconciliation Monument is so much worse than mere iconoclasm, which is bad enough by itself. The only reason to make a scene of destroying a monument to the reconciliation of two sides who were at war with each other is to signal that reconciliation going forward will also not be tolerated.
Right now the Left is gleefully throwing its political enemies in prison for non-existent crimes. This includes the Left’s chief political opponent. It is setting up bogus kangaroo courts to obtain fraudulent indictments and convictions.
The Left fantasizes about using the military power of the state to drop nuclear bombs on citizens who exercise their constitutional right of self-defense. As we speak, it is using government power and coercion to illegally censor and shut down the speech of its enemies. And most dangerous of all, through insane and outrageous assassination prep agitprop, the Left and its loyal media propagandists are ginning up their most ardent and unstable supporters to commit violence against the potential next president of the United States.
The modern American left clearly has zero interest in reconciliation with anyone in this country who opposes their political agenda. They are not disguising this hatred. In fact, they are so open about their refusal to ever allow anyone else to wield power or even exist outside their clutches that they’re willing to rip out and destroy a literal monument to American reconciliation.
What do you think they’ll do to you if you ever get in their way?

And of course, the attack on Southern heritage really has nothing to do with the Confederacy, but rather is one particularly malicious expression of the broader war on American heritage and history. As we described in an earlier piece on Biden’s attack on Confederate memorials:
Just as the old respect given to Robert E. Lee or other Confederate heroes had nothing to do with affirming the Confederate cause, the desecration of the Confederate Memorial at Arlington, or other monuments across the country, has almost nothing to do with the Confederacy at all, or the historical conflict between North and South. Instead, these attacks are simply one facet of the larger attack on America itself: Its heroes, its history, its institutions, and most importantly, its historical population.

This kind of behavior is reminiscent of what ISIS does. They enter cities and destroy monuments and artworks, labeling them as evil or unholy. The Biden administration’s actions in removing these historical monuments appear no different. It’s actions like these that can lead to the downfall of a country. Let’s hope we can reverse this trend before it’s too late. Thank God for Trump’s judge, who is giving us a chance to fight for our history.
