By Mark Powell, Michael Blackmon Verified| FITSNews Verified There was little to laugh about in the atrocity that was the War Between the States. By the time the guns fell silent 160 years ago this month, more than 650,000 men were dead (with modern research suggesting the actual number was over 700,000). Another 1.1 million were injured, with many of them maimed for life. Yet, there were a few laughable incidents amid the carnage. One happened in South Carolina exactly 164 years ago today. And it was a native South Carolinian’s doing, too.
By Michael Blackmon Verified| FITSNews Verified There was something for each major political party to crow about in Tuesday’s trio of elections. Because this was the first significant voting held since President Donald Trump took office in January, all three races carried an out-sized significance. To hear media pundits and the legacy MSM tell it today, Democrat-backed Susan Crawford’s victory over Republican former state Attorney General and Judge Brad Schimel is the death knell for Trump, the MAGA movement, and DOGE chief Elon Musk.
