on bases. I guess he missed the part in high school civics about how bills become law.

This Thursday, the Senate approved a $740 billion defense bill by 86-14 and will now ship it off to be reconciled with the House defense bill passed on Tuesday.

According to reports, Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), who co-wrote and led debate on the bill, said that a provision would be removed from the bill that requires 10 military bases named after Confederate generals to be renamed. The Oklahoman reports that Inhofe said he “spoke” with President Trump about the provision, which they both oppose.

In a tweet this Friday, Trump wrote that he did indeed speak with Inhofe and that he assured Trump that he “WILL NOT be changing the names of our great Military Bases and Forts, places from which we won two World Wars (and more!).”
“Like me, Jim is not a believer in ‘Cancel Culture,'” Trump added.

But the tweet sparked confusion from some reporters on Twitter.

1. I'm sure it happened like Trump said it did. However,

Jim Inhofe did what any Republican with a healthy sense of self-preservation would do: "Yes" him to death.

"Yes, Mr. President. I understand Mr. President. I'll take care of it Mr. President. You can trust me on this, Mr. President."

Doesn't mean it will happen.

What a shame.

5. So sick of the derrogatory "Cancel Culture"

What to those folks think they have been doing from the beginning of time to the history of blacks, women, LGBT individuals, internment of Japanese Americans, etc.?

I recall almost nothing about any of those in my grade/high school history books.
