White House Announces Comprehensive Review of Smithsonian Exhibitions.

Mr. Trump’s review of the Smithsonian began in March, when he issued an executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” In it, he claimed that the Smithsonian had “come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology” and that it promoted “narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.”

The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it would begin a wide-ranging review scouring wall text, websites and social media “to assess tone, historical framing and alignment with American ideals.” The Smithsonian. Museums will be required to adjust any content that the administration finds problematic within 120 days, the letter said, “replacing divisive or ideologically driven language with unifying, historically accurate and constructive descriptions.”

In its letter, the White House says its review “aims to ensure alignment with the president’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions.” It adds that the “goal is not to interfere with the day-to-day operations of curators or staff, but rather to support a broader vision of excellence that highlights historically accurate, uplifting and inclusive portrayals of America’s heritage.”

The White House said its review would involve collaboration among museum staff, administration officials and personnel from other agencies. “By focusing on Americanism — the people, principles, and progress that define our nation.

I have a huge disdain for leftists, liberals, democrats, or whatever they are now. They seem to favor and obsess over radical social engineering, identity politics, and want to demonize or ostracize those who don't fall into their their woke nonsense. They are the type that cause you to lose your job or livelihood just because you used the wrong "pronoun". They are the ones who push for Critical Race Theory (CRT), DEI, and including schoolchildren in their wacko beliefs.

These are crazy and rabid people who hate Christians and Jews but will roll out the red carpet for Muslims and anyone who isn't white.

Then you have the hard-core right, who loves police officers but shits on their firefighters and EMS personnel (at least here in my state). Fire and EMS is often treated second-class, is not considered much in legislation, and is disregarded in many situations. My state is one of only 10 that doesn't have enhanced penalties for assaulting a firefighter or EMT, but the recent "Back the Blue" Act enhanced these penalties for assaulting a cop, leaving out firefighters and EMTs with this legislation. 42 percent of fire departments in my state are classified by the state Fire Marshal's office as either "At-Risk" or "Distressed". There are no incentives for volunteers. There is no appeal process for sanctions against EMS personnel licenses, which can stem from a single complaint. My state also experiences an issue with hospital closures and infrastructure issues due to a large influx of new residents from out-of-state and lack of funding. The attitude of a lot of Republicans, sadly, is that if it doesn't affect them in the current mome
