With the bridge debacle, the name Francis Scott Key has been a topic of controversy. Francis Scott Key was an American poet, author, and lawyer from Frederick, Maryland. He witnessed the British bomb Fort McHenry in 1814, inspiring him to write numerous works of art, the most popular of which is the “Star-Spangled Banner.”
There are other bridges and statues honoring Francis Scott Key throughout the nation. There was even a ship named the SS Francis Scott Key that fought in World War II. His memory is being erased from history. The Key monument in San Francisco was destroyed by protestors on June 19, 2020, the same date that is now the celebrated holiday of Juneteenth. Instead of rebuilding the monument, California replaced it with 350 black steel sculptures to represent the first 350 Africans sold by African royalty to America to be used as slaves. This is extremely divisive and perpetuates the narrative that a subsect of our population should not have loyalty to America.
The woke left refers to the national anthem produced by Key as the “white national anthem” in an attempt to divide us. We are all American – divided, we fall. It is the people vs the government NOT the people vs the people. There is a good probability that the bridge will be renamed after someone far less influential.

I can’t wait for the George Floyd Memorial Bridge to be dedicated in Baltimore.
I can.
The new and improved MLK BLVD in every city across America. The deadliest part of every town.
Does anyone think that the Bolshevik controlled government and their DIE theydates ( mandate is so exclusive) can even build a bridge of this complexity in the current year?
That technology has been lost….reeeee
A genuine ‘bridge to nowhere’ if there ever was one …
Well since it will probably take about 20 years and billions of dollars to build it will probably end up like some film set like Escape from NY or Mad Max. It most like ly will never get finished or maybe not even started in our life time at least. But naming it “Saint Floyd Bridge” yeah that’ll happen
As it turns out, he was a cockeyed optimist with no grounding in reality or human nature. He was a victim of the zeitgeist of his time and he ran with it.
YIKES FOLKS!…THEY LEFT OUT THE “THIRD VERSE” OF THIS ANTHEM!!!
WHAT IS THAT SAYING???
‘ … divided, we fall.’
For the bolshevik, radical left — that’s the primary feature, not a bug.
No, we are all NOT Americans. There’s at least 50 million that have illegally
invaded the country that aren’t.
Get the net !
He was a pinch hitter for the NWO leagues.
As an Australian I think the US national anthem is fantastic and the lyrics are brilliant. It’s right up there with La Marseillaise as the best in the world.
