Donald Trump signed another pivotal executive order this week. Remember how the left tried to erase American history by tearing down statues? Well, they’re about to be restored. We’ll start with the Smithsonian.
The order holds up the Smithsonian Institution as an example to refocus on American history, with Vice President JD Vance overseeing the cleanup of ideological extremism at the institution.
President Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to restore truth to American history through an overhaul of the Smithsonian.
The order, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” slams the Biden administration for ushering in an era of “corrosive ideology” in recent years and seeks to unfurl “divisive, race-centered” themes plaguing the institution. – Red State
Here’s a quick reminder of what the new radical left did when Biden was president. In the summer of love of 2020, the radicals went on a full-blown crusade to tear down anything that didn’t match their version of “woke” history.
They didn’t just stop at Confederate generals – no, they decided to erase the Founding Fathers too. George Washington? Gone. Thomas Jefferson? Out of here. And for the grand finale, they took down Teddy Roosevelt’s statue on horseback outside the American Museum of Natural History in New York because, heaven forbid, we acknowledge anything that doesn’t fit their narrow, self-righteous view.
It wasn’t just statues either – schools, military bases, institutions – all targeted in the name of “progress.” Funny how their “fight for justice” always ends up erasing history instead of learning from it, right?
Pres. Trump signed an executive order on Thursday directing VP JD Vance to eliminate “divisive race-centered ideology” from Smithsonian museums, educational and research centers, and the National Zoo.
Good.
Don’t rewrite history or sanitize it. We’ll never learn that way. pic.twitter.com/tkjHdjhJ2n

The first paragraph of the Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History is enough for me:
Over the past decade, Americans have witnessed a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history, replacing objective facts with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth. This revisionist movement seeks to undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light. Under this historical revision, our Nation’s unparalleled legacy of advancing liberty, individual rights, and human happiness is reconstructed as inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed. Rather than fostering unity and a deeper understanding of our shared past, the widespread effort to rewrite history deepens societal divides and fosters a sense of national shame, disregarding the progress America has made and the ideals that continue to inspire millions around the globe.
The radicals worked overtime to rewrite American history by tearing down monuments, destroying statues, and renaming institutions. And every time one of them stepped in front of a camera, they made sure to label the rest of us as racists and claim we’re a terrible country. Let’s not forget Michelle Obama’s infamous 2008 moment when she first declared she was “proud” of her country—for the first time—back when her husband was running for president.
While JD Vance now sits on the Board of Regents for the Smithsonian and has been put in charge of dismantling the illegitimate extremism of the radical left, it’s the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum who will likely be doing the heavy lifting.
Doug Burgum will be tasked with setting American history right and putting it on full display. What exactly does that mean? Hopefully, it will lead to hunting down the culprits, arresting them, charging them, and putting them behind bars – after a fair trial. If these individuals violated the law, there should be accountability. Removing these statues wasn’t just an act of vandalism; it was an attack on our history, and those responsible should face the consequences.
Yes, sure, four men were charged with attempting to tear down Andre Jackson’s monument in Lafayette Square back in 2020 during the summer of love.
While I understand that hunting down the individuals who tore down the statues falls outside the jurisdiction of the executive order, I still believe it should be pursued. Personally, I never want to forget what the radicals tried to do. In fact, maybe we should erect a statue depicting them trampling on America’s heritage, a permanent reminder of their destruction and the fight to preserve our history.
They don’t deserve a statue, but we can certainly write scathing accounts of their actions. Let their legacy be defined by the damage they caused, and let us make sure the truth of their radical agenda is always exposed.
Here is a recap from the liberal media, who were calling those times mostly peaceful protests.
The Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, has been tasked with restoring truth in American history.
(i) determine whether, since January 1, 2020, public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction have been removed or changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history, inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures, or include any other improper partisan ideology;
(ii) take action to reinstate the pre-existing monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties, as appropriate and consistent with 43 U.S.C. 1451 et seq., 54 U.S.C. 100101 et seq.,and other applicable law; and
(iii) take action, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that all public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times), and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people or, with respect to natural features, the beauty, abundance, and grandeur of the American landscape.
You’d better believe The Victory Girls will be keeping a close eye on this – it’s far too important to let slip through the cracks. Our history is not just something we should casually forget or allow radicals to rewrite for their own agenda. If we lose it, we lose our identity, our values, and the lessons of the past that have shaped this country. We cannot and will not let the extremists tear down what we’ve built, and we certainly won’t stand by while they erase the truths that define us. Preserving American history is non-negotiable.

They can start by restoring the Confederate Memorial to Arlington. Take the cost out of Traitor Austin’s pension.
Scott says: Damn right! On both counts!
The Gent says: Right on Victory Girls.
Stephen C says: Amen
draigh says: They even tore down a statue of Frederick Douglas! Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water. These idiots want to purge the progress the country has made in the past 300 years. We have a country that isn’t perfect, but we are moving in the right direction. And THAT is what is important!
A museum goer says: Hmm, so do you think your fellow Victory Girl who is not fully white would celebrate the erasure of any mention of the Japanese Internment? Because you do realize that’s where this is headed, right?
This likely means we won’t get a Museum of Women’s History because it’s too, what’s the acronym? Oh yes, DEI. Does that matter, to you, oh Leni Riefenstahl/Goebbels wannabe?
And what did the zoo do to you? Are you triggered by the pandas and zebras because they’re multicolored? Are they too “woke” for your liking?
This reeks of Degenerate Art purge in Nazi Germany. Talking about the bad parts of our history and being honest about them isn’t unAmerican. My god, if the Germans can do it why can’t we? You all really are a bunch of snowflakes…
Oh and BTW you can still visit Mt. Vernon and Monticello for now anyways. No one canceled them. They were just honest about their lives. But celebrating the losers of a war that nearly destroyed our country? Oh we must have that! Give me the confederate monuments or give me death… or something….
Scott says: Due, you are so delusional, it’s actually quite impressive..
Nazi art purge? Look in the mirror dipshit, that’s what you fools have been up to, and thise EO reverses.
Japanese interment camps? yeah, that’s not something that would be ignored under this EO, it’s something that would be covered accurately. And while we’re on the subject, who was the president that put those camps in place?? What party was he from again??
Mt. Vernon and Monticello … “for now”.. so you admit your brownshirt thugs would like to get rid of them too.. Teddy Roosevelt? Pretty sure he wasn’t a Confederate.. As to that, your understanding of the civil war, the causes behind it, the aftermath, etc is obviously about as deep as a mud puddle, so there not even any point in going into any of that with you, because you’ll just revert to screeching “Raayyyycissss” because you have no actual argument..
You really need to stop huffing paint, or just go ahead and do it long enough that the outcome is certain.. either way, why don’t you just go back to your crayons and let the adults talk..
GWB says: I wish he’d just put his head in the bucket and leave it there. Faster than huffing.
GWB says: Because you do realize that’s where this is headed, right?
You progs do love a strawman argument, don’t you. No, that’s not where this is headed.
Though, if you really want to go there, the idea that no one should have been moved away from sensitive areas on the coast of an ocean where our enemies were running rampant, if those people were the same group as those enemies, is preposterous. The only issue for me comes in when they required loyalty oaths from citizens who had already taken those oaths in becoming citizens.
Talking about the bad parts of our history and being honest about them isn’t unAmerican.
No. More strawmen. I grew up with plenty of history about the “bad parts.” They were addressed honestly, and we moved on to the next era.
It’s unAmerican to actually make the entirety of American history about those “bad parts” and to tear out all of the recognition of people who happened to be on the opposite side from your religion.
you can still visit Mt. Vernon and Monticello
Sure, you can visit. But you will (up until about 3 months ago) get an earful of bullcarp about those people emphasizing how terrible they were because… there were slaves involved.
celebrating the losers of a war that nearly destroyed our country?
If your goal is to entirely erase all of those people from the country, then I see your point. Of course, the reconciliation that went on was intended to NOT make that the outcome. Hence, all of the cemeteries and monuments to Confederate soldiers and leaders. You, OTOH, would absolutely love vengeance – it fits well with your doctrines of hatred and total domination. But you’re inadequate to the task.
Graham says: Well, the internment was unconstitutional insofar as [IIRC] a majority were US citizens. Who had constitutional rights, and were deprived of both liberty and property without cause or anything resembling due process. In a real Japanese invasion, perhaps even that might be understood as reasonable, if wrong, in retrospect. But it was, in actual history, a deprivation of rights for citizens that was caused by pure, wholly unwarranted panic that could have been recognized as such with a moment’s real reflection. Indeed, many argued against it at the time. The guilty parties were both military and civil, and the civilians bipartisan, though generally progressive figures of the time. [Hello, Earl Warren.]
For those who were not born or naturalized US citizens, the internment was still a mistake and still unnecessary but nowhere near the same kind of moral or constitutional outrage. It is perfectly legitimate, if rarely all that necessary when the enemy is an ocean away, to intern enemy foreign nationals. There are only practice, nor moral or constitutional, objections to be made.
Those who were interned were in camps, and their property was rarely restored to them and I doubt every fully. These were wrongs.
Any discussion along the above lines is and should remain reasonable. One problem is that over the decades the discussion has evolved to regard the internment as scarcely short of the German concentration camps or the Russian Gulag. Both as to motive and conditions, that is ridiculous.
GWB says: and the National Zoo
Dass RACISSS!!! *little boy pointing*
