36 Medal of Honor Winners from 1861 to 2020
Several years ago, I was invited to give a presentation on my book on the Civil War—The Un-Civil War: Shattering the Historical Myths, published in 2011—to a group of the Sons of Confederate Veterans in Pickens, South Carolina. Pickens is a small town of about 3,400 population, but it is the county seat of Pickens County. Pickens County has a modest population of 131,000, and its largest town, Easley, has a modest but prosperous population of 23,000.

The Looming Shadows of War
A Political, Economic, and Military Briefing
The Republic of Niger is a West African nation of 25.4 million people. Its capital, Niamey, has more than a million people. Niger was a French colony until 1958 when it became an autonomous part of the French Community. It declared its full independence in 1960 but maintained strong economic ties to France. The official language of Niger is French, although seven other languages are recognized and widely spoken, including Hausa, Zarma, Fulani, and Arabic. Niger is over 99 percent Muslim. The Niger River flows through Niger, but Niger is landlocked and does not border the Atlantic Gulf of Guinea as does its more populous neighbor Nigeria on its southern border.

New CNN Poll Shows Dramatic Drop in Support for War
Four Stupid Ideas that Didn’t Work
The U.S. Congress has since February 2022 authorized at least $115 billion for military and other government aid to Ukraine. In fact, there seem to be no precise statistics and little accountability. Moreover, the narrative on the purpose of the war is counterfactual to its well-documented historical background and critical events over more than 30 years and especially those associated with the revolutionary coup of 2014 that started a conflict killing over 14,000 people before February 2022.

She replaces Wendy Sherman, who retired the same day and had served the Biden Administration in that position since April 2021. This would make Nuland the second highest ranking power in the State Department, next only to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
