Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Washington " President Trump on Friday ordered federal officials to install signs outside the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History that correct what he says is "inaccurate" information presented by the institution about American history.

Mr. Trump's directive cited a 162-page White House report released on July 4 that accused the museum of adopting "an ideological framework that no longer treats the American story as a shared national inheritance to be taught or celebrated, but as a political instrument to divide, dispirit, and discourage our citizens."

"Law & Politics

I Watched the Unhinged Anti-Smithsonian Congressional Hearing So You Don't Have To

Anthea Hartig keeps her cool on the stand, answering questions about ideological bias.

Yesterday's particularly noxious one, "Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian's Efforts to Reshape the Past" emerged in response to "Saving America's Story," the report released by Trump's White House Policy Council on July 4.

The document features 160 pages of grievances about the "ideological capture" of the Smithsonian Institution, claiming that it promotes a left-wing activist agenda.

Tuesday's hearing summoned Anthea Hartig, director of the National Museum of American History, to Capitol Hill to be grilled about the findings by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform."

Republicans obviously prefer the Goebbels Propaganda Agenda:

"As the Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels orchestrated a total takeover of Germany's media, arts, and culture to build blind devotion to Adolf Hitler and enforce Nazi racial ideology.

His strategic agenda relied on centralizing power, censoring opposition, and utilizing psychology to manipulate public opinion.

The Core Goals

The "Fhrer Myth": Goebbels deliberately elevated Hitler from a politician into a messianic savior figure who could do no wrong.Dehumanizing the Enemy: He ran aggressive campaigns targeting Jews, Communists, and liberals as existential threats to the German nation."

Remember, it was the Vice-President of the United States who told you that DJT is, "America's Hitler".

A few years ago I visited Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello.

I was very disgusted how every exhibit along the tour, the tour guide would work in some way to disparage Jefferson.

All the things he accomplished and they were obsessed with the fact he had owned slaves. From what I've read he took much better care of them than many others.

I'm not going to defend slavery but it was woven into the fabric of those times.

I see exactly what Trump is going after. Apparently what I saw at Monticello must be compounded at the Smithsonian.

He Raped his Female slaves and sold his own kids with them into Slavery. How is that "Treating them Well". Especially the kids.

BJ, you're a Turd.

Jefferson was a Hypocrite and a Rapist.

He wrote great Fiction about "Freedom".

He didn't Really even know what it Was.

Except for the Racial Elect.

Oh, and Dudes only.

"All the things he accomplished and they were obsessed with the fact he had owned slaves"

Here's a shocker for you, BILL: Jefferson was obsessed by the simple fact he owned human beings. And he remained a perplexed hypocrite on that topic his entire life. So what? A complex hero with complicated views? Oh, the horror. So awful, being informed. Turn on the night light!!

The US also created the first modern concentration camps - for the original inhabitants of the land. There it is, live with it.

Ideology is easy. History is often hard. Definitely not a child's tale, unless one chooses to remain a child.
