That ‘Deadpool 2’ Teaser Had Some Great Easter Eggs And May Have Revealed The Villain
That ‘Deadpool 2’ Teaser Had Some Great Easter Eggs And May Have Revealed The Villain
VIA FOX
On Wednesday, Deadpool declared his love of cocaine and channeled Bob Ross to debut the first footage from Deadpool 2. The back half of that teaser was chock-full of Easter eggs and references, and it may have even revealed the film’s villain (more on that in a moment).
Did you pay close attention to the end credits on the teaser? Fox loves jamming funny stuff into end credits, and these listed an amazing crew including Dalton on security (a Road House reference), lead singer “Jerrika” Benton (as in Jerrica Benton of Jem and the Holograms), Wayne Campbell as both camera operators (a reference to Mike Myers’ “camera 1, camera 2” jokes in the Wayne’s World sketches and movies), Tom Edison on lighting, “Ted E. Ruxpinn” (Teddy Ruxpin) on audio, along with heavy hitters like Geordi Leforge (Star Trek: The Next Generation) and Blanche Devereaux (Golden Girls) because you should never underestimate their dedication to adding Golden Girls references.
As for the villain, did you catch this painted figure that surprised Deadpool right before the movie footage started?
This could be teasing the villain being played by Jack Kesy. The figure’s eyes are black, not white, so it isn’t a painting of Deadpool. Kesy’s character has previously been referred to as “Black Bob,” which some took as a reference to Black Tom Cassidy, the brother of the X-Men’s Banshee. On the other hand, Screen Rant interprets this to mean the main villain is Nathan Essex / Mister Sinister, manipulating Deadpool’s mind to make him paint a portrait of the genetically-enhanced telepath. Sinister has a somewhat similar appearance as Black Tom Cassidy, and Sinister had a hand in creating Cable (Josh Brolin).
It was Sinister who schemed to clone Jean Grey following her ‘death’ and the Phoenix Saga in hopes of mating her with Cyclops, thereby creating a superior mutant to raise as his own superweapon. Long story short, the plan worked: the child was flung into the future to become the techno-organic powerhouse known as Cable, eventually tasked with defeating Sinister’s second master plan… Cable’s genetic clone, Stryfe.
Those family reunions are awkward. (Via Screen Rant)

Lil Peep Dies at 21: Report
11/16/2017 by Lars Brandle
Edward Berthelot/Getty Images
Lil Peep attends the Balmain Menswear Spring/Summer 2018 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on June 24, 2017 in Paris, France.
Lil Peep, an emerging singer, rapper and YouTube star whose debut full-length album dropped in recent months, has died according to multiple reports.
The Long Beach, New York-raised emo/hip-hop artist (real name Gustav Åhr) was just 21 years of age. Reasons for his passing have not been revealed, though British broadsheet The Guardian cites a suspected overdose.
Peep’s manager Chase Ortega broke the bad news. “I’ve been expecting this call for a year. Mother fuck,” he tweeted.
Lil Peep had a promising career in front of him. His star had been on the rise since 2015 via a series of Soundcloud tracks, EPs and mixtapes, and he enjoyed full traction through his YouTube channel where his videos to "Awful Things," "Benz Truck," "The Brightside" and others clocked up multiple millions of views As the buzz built, Peep signed with agent Cara Lewis and enthusiastic features followed in Fader, Noisey and Pitchfork, which declared him as "the future of emo". In an extensive three-part profile, Medium wrote, "it's obvious Peep is going to blow up."
All the while, the conversation rumbled on about whether he was a rapper or a singer. Was he hip-hop or emo? Peep showcased all those skills on his debut album, Come Over When You’re Sober, which dropped on Sept. 1. The Peep army was a growing one, as fans tuned in en masse for his refreshing candor about his battles with depression, heartbreak, drug use and his sexuality.
A slew of recorded artists paid tribute to the young performer, from Post Malone to Marshmello, Rich Chigga and many more. "Peep was the nicest person. Hanging out with him, talking to him about music, the song ideas we were going to do together and touring was so amazing," tweeted Marshmello. "Everyone will miss you man." Billboard has reached out to reps for Lil Peep. More to come.

Chinua Achebe: Why the Nigerian author is one of the world's most important modern writers
Chinua Achebe: Why the Nigerian author is one of the world's most important modern writers
'Things Fall Apart' author recognised in Google Doodle
'Things Fall Apart' author recognised in Google Doodle
Chinua Achebe as featured in his Google Doodle. He is considered by many to be the father of modern African literature Google
The late Nigerian author Chinua Achebe has been honoured in a Google Doodle, underscoring his status as a towering figure of 20th century literature. By creating a doodle marking what would have been Achebe’s 87th birthday, the tech giant is celebrating a writer many consider to be father of modern African literature. Writing amid a post-colonial movement that saw African nations cast off decades of foreign rule and seek political sovereignty, Mr Achebe lent a voice to a generation of Africans who refused to be defined solely through the lenses of European thought. Part of that work involved telling distinctly African stories from the perspective of African characters, helping to forge a literature that — like newly created countries — was independent from Europe.
Mr Achebe did so across dozens of novels and books of poetry and essays, leading many to refer to him as “the father of modern African literature”. He died in March of 2013 at the age of 82, having collected accolades that included the Man Booker International Prize. His oeuvre stood in deliberate opposition to works of European literature that cast Africa as a setting and its people as bit players in the central affairs of Western characters. He denounced novelist Joseph Conrad as a “bloody racist” and called Mr Conrad’s novel “Heart of Darkness”, in which a European explorer plunges into a threatening and unfathomable Africa, as “a totally deplorable book”. In contrast to European works that allowed Africans only minor or one-dimensional roles, Mr Achebe wrote novels that showed Nigerians as complex characters endowed with agency.
His best-known work, “Things Fall Apart,” remains a staple of school curricula. It tells the story of Okonkwo, the proud leader of his village. The novel depicts the complex customs of the Igbo people, one of multiple ethnic groups in Nigeria with a distinct culture and language. The book portrays how Okonkwo’s world is upended by the appearance of Christian missionaries, and its closing paragraph — written from the perspective of a recently arrived colonial leader — functions as a haunting allusion to how European observers reduce and dismiss complex African cultures: “He had already chosen the title of the book, after much thought: The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger.”

iphone x review - Apple iPhone X 256GB
iphone x review - Apple iPhone X 256GB
I'm a total gadget nerd,
and it's been five years since a new smartphone made me nod to myself with the
understanding that, "Yes, I need that thing more than I need air."
But the buzz around the iPhone X has had me a little more hyped than usual.
Not just because the iPhone finally ditched the bezels
and got an OLED display -- Samsung's Galaxy S8 lost its bezels in March -- but
because the iPhone X is the line's first significant overhaul since the iPhone
4. I should know better than to fall for the hype, but after spending nearly a
week with the device, I've actually convinced myself that spending $1579 on a
phone seems like a good idea. If you hate me for saying that, that's OK, I hate
me too.
The display is clearly the
first thing you notice, and if not for the famed notch, it would merely be as
impressive as a Samsung Galaxy S8 or Note8. The colours aren't as vibrant as
what you'll find on a Samsung phone -- Samsung phones tend to oversaturate the
colours, but as someone who prefers accuracy over eye-bleeding pop, I really
like how naturally the iPhone renders colours.
But let me just say: I love the distinctive notch. Some
consider it an eyesore, but for me, that notch screams the phone's ostentation
in a deeply satisfying way. It gives the whole 5.8-inch display a sense of
space that simply isn't found on competing phones. In fact, its display is
actually larger than the 5.5-inch screen on the physically larger iPhone 8
Plus. When screen curves around the front camera module, it feels a little like
Apple has somehow cheated and rewarded the phone with more visual real estate
than it deserves.
At least while you're on the home screen or in apps
specifically updated to work with the iPhone X's unique display. In other apps,
the iPhone X feels a little small, with the a black band at the top and bottom
of the display confining what was once expansive feeling.
The big
display doesn't dramatically affect battery life too much. I never found myself
wanting more power throughout the day, and I even went into day two with
regular use. In our battery rundown test, in which we stream a YouTube video
over Wi-Fi until the phone dies, the iPhone X managed a little less than 10
hours, which is perfectly average battery life when compared to all the phones
Gizmodo's tested this year, and thanks to its ability to charge quickly and
wirelessly, it's never an issue to re-juice it.
What surprised me most
about the phone is how I don't miss Touch ID or the home button. Since the
first rumours cropped up that Touch ID might not make it to Apple's 10th
anniversary iPhone, I've obsessed over the shift from Touch ID. How could they
possibly do it! It became a reality, and like many, I was frankly aghast that
the technology would be forever replaced by Face ID. Instead of pressing your
finger to a home button, you now glance at the phone and quickly swipe up with
your thumb.
Over the last few days, I've spent hours fiddling with the front-facing
"TrueDepth" setup that makes the Face ID magic possible. It's by far
the most technologically innovative aspectof the phone. It uses a
combination of a camera, IR lasers, and IR scanner to create a 3D map of your
face. The camera allows you create animoji, and gives apps like Snapchat access to your facial map so
they can toss realistic-looking masks on your face.
But the killer feature is
obviously Face ID. I look at the phone, and it opens instantly. From there it
works like an even fancier version of Touch ID. When I went to sign into
Twitter, it recognised my face and logged me in. When I ordered a midnight
burger off Seamless, and used Apple Pay, it scanned my face before asking me to
press the power button to confirm.
While at first there were some hiccups, the TrueDepth
camera has learned my face since I picked the phone up from Apple on Monday.
And now it doesn't hesitate when I try to use it in the dark, or while wearing
sludgey makeup, or huddled on a bench at the dog park in the morning with my
hoody pulled down low. This camera gets me, and I don't even have to hold it up
directly in front of my face, as long as the camera is pointed in my face's
direction, and I'm looking at it, the phone will open.
The rear cameras can't do
anything that cool. They're still very nice, as but if you're trying to decide
between the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus or the iPhone X, it won't be the rear cameras
that sway you.
The reason you buy the iPhone X is because of that too
luxurious design, and that audaciously hedonistic display, and that super cool
depth-sensing selfie camera. This phone isn't remaking the way we think about
phones in as grand a manner as the original iPhone, or even the iPhone 4. While
Face ID could be the future of biometric tech on phones, that future won't
shift your world view as dramatically as the move from passcode to biometrics
in the first place. The iPhone X isn't a leap into a new world of phone design,
it's just a showcase for what a really expensive luxury phone should look and
feel like. I don't need the $1579 iPhone X, but after the last few days with
it, boy do I want to go buy one.

Jose Mourinho backs Anthony Martial to improve for Manchester United as Tottenham links are put to bed
Jose Mourinho backs Anthony Martial to improve for Manchester
United as Tottenham links are put to bed
JoseMourinho has backed AnthonyMartial to improve this season amid speculation that he could
leave Manchester United.
Tottenham, who were interested in Martial prior
to his move to Manchester, have been linked with the striker again this summer
after struggling to cement his place in the side last season.
The 21-year-old made a telling impact from the
bench in the club’s opening day victory over West Ham, scoring one and
assisting another at Old Trafford.
And Mourinho insists there’s more to come from
Martial this season.
·
READ MORE
"I have faith in him," Mourinho told
reporters. "Probably the player that I was looking for was not a pure
winger because I have pure wingers.
"Probably the player I was looking for is a
player that allows me to play with three in the back and do the wing-back.
"Because as a pure attacking player,
Anthony is a good player.
"I believe he's one of the players that is
going to have a better season this season than the previous season. I believe.
"I look at some of my players and I am sure
that some of them will be better this season than they were last season, and
Anthony is that for sure."
Manchester United
currently sit top of the Premier League table, and face Swansea City in the first top flight fixture of the weekend.
Premier League: Manchester United will be wary of being complacent against Swansea City after strong start to season
Premier League: Manchester United will be wary of beingcomplacent against Swansea City after strong start to season
Swansea: Anthony Martial has warned Manchester
United not to get carried away by their impressive start to the Premier League
season as the leaders head to Swansea on Saturday.
An
emphatic 4-0 victory over West Ham in their opening game suggested United have
shaken off a tendency to draw matches they should be winning, putting them in
good spirits for the trip to south Wales.
United
were held to 15 league draws last season, more than any other team in the top
division, and one of them was against Swansea at Old Trafford in April.
Jose
Mourinho's side look much better equipped now to deal with sides who sit deep
and try to frustrate them; their attacking verve was too much for a defensively
minded Hammers side last Sunday.
The
British record £75 million ($96 million) fee paid to Everton for Romelu Lukaku
already looks like money well spent, with the Belgium striker scoring twice on
his league debut, while Nemanja Matic, a £40 million recruit from Chelsea, was
outstanding in midfield.
Mourinho's
men look well set to improve on last season's sixth place finish and the United
manager has even spoken of a title challenge this season.
He has
won the domestic title in his second season in each of his last five managerial
positions – at Porto, Chelsea twice, Inter Milan and Real Madrid.
With
Chelsea faltering at home to Burnley last weekend, Mourinho's hopes of marking
his second season at Old Trafford by winning the Premier League may just have
grown a little.
Not
that it's time to start dreaming of future glory just yet, according to United
striker Martial, who scored against West Ham after coming off the bench.
"As
a squad, we haven't really talked about specific aims for the season too much
so far, but the goal is to win as many titles as possible," he said.
Mourinho
does have long-term injuries to contend with; Ashley Young's hamstring problem
will keep him out until October, while defenders Luke Shaw and Marcos Rojo are
still some way off full fitness.
Mourinho
confirmed last week that he is in discussions to re-sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
but the former Paris Saint-Germain striker's cruciate knee ligament damage
still requires several more months of rehabilitation.
One
bonus for United is that they will not have to face the player who scored
Swansea's goal at Old Trafford last season after Gylfi Sigurdsson's drawn-out
transfer to Everton finally went through on Wednesday
Last
season's 15-goal top scorer Fernando Llorente could return for Swansea, having
completed his recovery from a broken arm, but midfielders Ki Sung-Yeung and
Nathan Dyer are still injured.
Paul
Clement, who guided Swansea to safety with a game to spare last season after
arriving at the club in January, plans to use the Sigurdsson money to bring in
up to three signings.

Game of Thrones season 7 release date, spoilers, leaks, trailer and everything you need to know
Game of Thrones season 7 release date, spoilers, leaks, trailer and everything you need to know
You no longer know nothing
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season seven. Obvs.Game of Thrones season 7 is officially underway, but new plot teasers and developments continue to surface... and there's already much speculation about the show's future.
Is the end in sight? From teasers to story leaks to theories, here's everything you need to know.Game of Thrones season 7 release date: When's it on?Season 7 premiered simultaneously on Sunday night, July 16 on at 9pm ET on HBO in the US and at 2am on Monday, July 17 on Sky Atlantic in the UK.
Each week, if you can't stomach the thought of staying up so late, there's always the repeat viewing later in the day at the more manageable time of 9pm to look forward to. You can also watch it on demand any time after 2am.If you don't want to stump up for the full Sky package, you can try a NowTV Entertainment Pass, which gives you access to the show (and loads of others) on all your devices. It's currently available for a two-weekfree trial (it's £6.99 a month afterwards and £7.99 from 15 August), so you can watch the first two episodes for nothing at all if you time it right.
"We're starting a bit later because at the end of this season, 'Winter is here' – and that means that sunny weather doesn't really serve our purposes any more," showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss previously confirmed.
Related: How to watch Game of Thrones season 7premiere FREE – what time is it on TV?
"So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim grey weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot."Makes sense... not that it helps to soothe our broken hearts. We'll be getting a bumper-length premiere running to 59 minutes and season finale lasting at least a whopping 81 minutes, maybe closer to 90, to make up for the long wait.
It's looking like we could be in for another long wait after that, too, with the eighth and final season possibly delayed until 2019. "[Benioff and Weiss] have to write the episodes and figure out the production schedule," HBO President Casey Bloys said. "We'll have a better sense of that once they get further into the writing."
"We honestly don't know yet [when the final episodes will air]," Benioff admitted. "There's been a lot of back and forth about air dates. That's a long way off from being settled."
Filming wrapped on season 7 in February – with Emilia Clarke having already completed work on the "mindblower" new season. To give us a taste, here's a first-look teaser: featuring the first dialogue from season 7 courtesy of Jon Snow, it hints at a huge battle ahead between the living and the undead White Walkers.
"The same thing is coming for all of us. There is only one war that matters – the great war… AND IT IS HERE."
Atlas V launches TDRS-M data relay satellite for NASA
Atlas V launches TDRS-M data relay satellite for NASA
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A
United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket roared off the pad with NASA’s
newest communications spacecraft, Tracking and Data Relay Satellite M (TDRS-M).
Liftoff took place at 8:29 a.m. EDT (12:29 GMT) Aug. 18, 2017.
The launch occurred
about 26 minutes into a 40-minute window due to an issue detected on the
vehicle’s Centaur upper stage engine, the RL10C. Thermal conditioning took a
bit longer than planned. The pre-chill eventually took place, clearing the way
for a successful liftoff and eventual satellite deployment.

was rolled out to Canaveral’s Space Launch Complex 41 on Aug. 16, 2017. Photo

Weather for the launch
was nearly perfect. In the hours before liftoff, the 45th Weather Squadron had
predicted a 90 percent chance of favorable conditions. The only concern was the
potential for thick clouds. However, those never materialized. Additionally an
offshore anvil cloud stayed just far enough away to not be a problem.
Once the countdown finally reached zero,
the 191-foot (58-meter) tall Atlas V, which was in the 401 configuration
(four-meter fairing, zero solid rocket boosters, and a single engine Centaur
upper stage), rose into the Florida skies away from Space Launch Complex 41
atop a column of flame produced by the first stage’s RD-180 engine.
Just under 1.5 minutes
into flight, the vehicle passed Mach 1, the speed of sound. Some three minutes
later, the Common Core Booster first stage finished consuming its rocket grade
kerosene and liquid oxygen propellant. At 4 minutes, 8 seconds after leaving
Cape Canaveral, the booster separated with the upper stage and fell away.
About 10 seconds later,
the Centaur upper stage’s RL10C engine ignited to continue powering toward
orbit. Consuming liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, the engine burned for
almost 14 minutes before shutting down as planned. During that time, at 4
minutes, 26 seconds into flight, the payload fairing jettisoned, revealing
TDRS-M to the vacuum of space.
About 18 minutes after
launch, the Centaur upper stage with TDRS-M on top was in a parking orbit.
There, the duo coasted for about 90 minutes before the RL10C ignited again for
about a minute to place the satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit of
about 2,882 miles by 22,237 miles (4,638 kilometers by 35,787 kilometers)
inclined 26.2 degrees from the equator.
TDRS-M separated from
Centaur at about 1 hour, 53 minutes into flight. It will use its onboard
propellant to finish the job of circularizing its orbit into a geostationary
orbit where it will reside with nine other TDRS satellites, seven of which are
active. Two are in storage orbits.
The TDRS system is the set of
geostationary orbiting satellites NASA uses to communicate with its array of
low-Earth orbiting spacecraft, and with U.S. scientific facilities in
Antarctica.
TDRSS is essential to
maintaining continuous communications with important NASA spacecraft, including
the International Space Station and the Hubble Space Telescope. TDRS-M is the
latest addition to this constellation and completes the third generation of
TDRS satellites.

“ULA uses the TDRS
system as a primary means of receiving and distributing launch vehicle
telemetry data during every flight. In fact, the TDRS-K and TDRS-L spacecraft,
launched by ULA in 2013 and 2014 tracked today’s launch” said Laura Maginnis,
ULA vice president of Government Satellite Launch, in a news release. “We are
absolutely honored to have delivered this core NASA capability and critical
national resource for our country.”
The launch of TDRS-M was
delayed from Aug. 3, 2017, when a July accident during the satellite’s
check-out damaged the spacecraft’s Omni S-band antenna. Boeing, the
spacecraft’s manufacturer, replaced the antenna and resolved an unrelated
damage incident caused by static electricity discharge.
After the repairs, NASA
expected to launch on Aug. 20, but managed to get an earlier launch date of
Aug. 18 with a 40-minute window opening at 8:03 a.m. EDT (12:03 GMT).
The TDRS-M satellite was
encapsulated in its payload fairing and delivered to the Vertical Integration
Facility on Aug. 9. The Atlas V rocket was rolled out to its launch pad on
its Mobile Launch Platform on Aug. 16.
NASA has not yet begun
acquiring a fourth generation of TDRSS spacecraft, but is planning a test bed
satellite for laser communications for launch in 2019. The Laser Communication
Relay Demonstration will launch alongside other payloads on a host satellite
and will demonstrate the ability to relay a communications laser from a
spacecraft to a ground station. The satellite is being developed at Goddard
Space Flight Center, which also develops the TDRSS constellation.
Today’s flight was the
120th ULA mission and the 72nd Atlas V launch. In particular, it was the 37th
flight of the 401 configuration. This was the third TRDS satellite launched by
ULA.
The next Atlas V launch
is currently targeting early September from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The
mission, NROL-42, will send a classified payload into orbit for the National
Reconnaissance Office. The rocket will fly in the 541 configuration, meaning it
will have a five-meter fairing, four solid rocket motors and a single engine
Centaur upper stage.

Taney statue removed from Md. state house grounds overnight
Taney statue removed from Md. state house grounds overnight
Workers dismantled a statue of Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney outside the Maryland State House in Annapolis, Md.
Workers dismantled a statue of Supreme Court Justice Roger B. Taney outside the Maryland State House in Annapolis, Md.
Workers dismantled a 145-year-old statue of Supreme Court
Justice Roger B. Taney outside the Maryland State House shortly after midnight
Friday, the latest ripple effect from last weekend’s deadly violence at a rally
of white supremacists in Charlottesville.
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said his revulsion at what
happened in Charlottesville — at a demonstration purportedly in defense of a
statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee — prompted him to change his mind
about the Taney statute and push for its removal, an act long sought by civil
rights groups.
The State House Trust board voted Wednesday to remove the
memorial to Taney, a former chief justice who defended slavery in the court’s
1857 Dred Scott decision. Taney’s ruling said blacks, whether slaves or not,
could never be U.S. citizens.
Police blocked off the streets around the State House complex
Thursday evening. A crane and two flatbed trucks arrived shortly after
midnight, and a crew soon began the process of removing the memorial from its
base, with more than two dozen bystanders looking on, mostly local residents
who figured the road closure must have been a sign that the monument would be
coming down soon.
Some witnesses commented that Taney’s likeness, gazing slightly
down, appeared to be bowing its head in shame as workers pulled straps around
his frame.ew Photos
“It’s just a bad statue overall,” said Robb Tufts, 43, of
Annapolis. “He’s all hunched over like Ebenezer Scrooge . . . we deserve to celebrate the heroes of Maryland, not the
villains of history.”
As the crane’s arm started extending toward the monument shortly
after 1 a.m., sprinklers erupted on the State House lawn, sending crew members
scrambling and briefly disrupting their work, as though Taney was making a last
stand atop his perch.
After work resumed, the crane lifted the statue and maneuvered
it to a flatbed truck, where the memorial was wrapped in a tarp and driven away
around 2:20 a.m.
Hogan’s spokesman, Doug Mayer, said the monument would be placed
in an undisclosed state storage facility. The perch remained on the lawn,
covered by a wooden box.
A different statue of Taney and three Confederate memorials in
Baltimore were taken down under cover of darkness early Wednesday.
President Trump, who has made conflicting statements about who
is to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, has decried the removal of
monuments, saying on Thursday that the “history and culture of our great
country” was “being ripped apart.”
Cookie Washington, an African American who turned 59 on Friday
and has lived in Annapolis since childhood, said seeing the demise of Taney
statue “felt like a birthday treat.”
“With what’s happening in this country lately, it doesn’t feel
welcoming for everyone,” she said. “I’m glad to see this.”
The removal of the memorial in Annapolis came hours after
Maryland Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. (D-Calvert) lashed out at
the governor for not holding a public hearing on the issue before the State
House Trust board voted.
In a letter to Hogan, Miller defended Taney’s legacy and long
record of government service, and said the memorial should stay put to help
educate people about the past. He also criticized Hogan for pushing a vote on
the matter “outside the public eye.”
Hogan is chairman of the State House Trust board, which voted by
email — its traditional method — to remove the Taney statue and make plans for
storing or relocating it. Miller, House Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Anne
Arundel) and Maryland Historical Trust chair Charles L. Edson are also members
of the panel.
Mayer said Thursday that Miller is “completely within his right
to continue defending Roger Taney,” adding that Hogan and the Senate leader
would have to “agree to disagree.”
Busch
called for removal of the statue on Monday, saying that “the time has come for
Taney to come down.” A spokeswoman for his office said the speaker’s decision
was influenced by Saturday’s deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville and the racially motivated 2015
mass shooting at an African American church in Charleston, S.C.
Hogan announced on Tuesday that he would take action to remove the monument, saying
it’s “the right thing to do.”
Busch,
Edson and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford (R), who serves as Hogan’s designee on the
board, voted infavor of taking down the monument. Miller did not vote.
The Senate president said in his letter that voting by email was
“just plain wrong” and that the matter was “of such consequence that the
transparency of a public meeting and public conversation should have occurred.”
Miller, who is known to be an avid reader of history, credited
the former chief justice for “anti-slavery words and actions,” saying that
“unlike George Washington who freed his slaves upon his death, Taney freed his
slaves early in his life.”

He also noted Taney’s many roles in public service, including
state lawmaker, Maryland attorney general, U.S. secretary of war, U.S. attorney
general and U.S. treasury secretary.
The state placed the Taney statue on the lawn of the capital
complex in 1872. Since then, it has added interpretive plaques explaining the
controversy over his divisive Dred Scott opinion and erected a statue of
Thurgood Marshall, a Baltimore native who was the first African American
Supreme Court justice, on the opposite side of the State House.
The trust also agreed last year to erect statues in the State
House honoring abolitionists Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass.
Benjamin Jealous, the former NAACP president who is seeking the
Democratic nomination to challenge Hogan in 2018, said Monday that he would
push to take down all Confederate statues in the state if he is elected.
Responding to news of Miller’s letter, Jealous said he was
“disappointed to hear there would be any opposition to this issue.” State
leaders, he said, “should be setting the right example for our children, who
should know that when the time came, we had the courage to say there’s no room
for symbols of hate in our state.”
