Just stop it now. You can’t change the past by knocking down a statue. You can’t erase the past just because you don’t like it.

All of these folks want to change history. Why? Because it doesn’t jibe with what makes them happy. Tough toodles folks — what was was, ain’t no changing that.

I think Malcolm X was a thug who incited violence, yet there are streets, parks, and schools honoring him.

Why should he be honored? I say, let’s rename those streets, parks, and schools to set the record straight. You can’t partially sanitize the past — it’s all or nothing — across the board.

And no — absolutely not — President Trump is no more responsible for the Charlottesville riots than former president Obama was responsible for the rioting in Ferguson, Mo.

Violence happens because we have devolved into a nation of spoiled children stamping and throwing hissy fits to get their way. We no longer respect each other in this country — now it is only name calling and temper tantrums.

And is it any wonder?

For the past eight years, all this country experienced was a president who divided us, never preached unity and only fanned the flames of racism. Never once do I remember him standing up for a unified nation.

Not for Nuthin, but if you want to point a finger, point it at the former president. Don’t forget to add the sore-losing Dems who want to deflect from their own incompetence and criminality by continually selling false narratives and wasting our time and money on ridiculous investigations, the Republicans who don’t like Trump because he doesn’t play their game in the sand box, and a biased media that perpetrate divisiveness all for the purpose of selling a page.

On a lighter note, vacation was wonderful, and yes, “Sharknado 5: Global Swarming” was chock full of silliness, even though Steve Guttenberg wasn’t in it. I can hardly wait for “Sharknado 6: Back to the Sharks.” After all, Fin has April’s head, what more could a man want?
