NY Times Relishes Statue Destruction, Avoids Noting Washington, Grant
June 29th, 2020 1:24 PM
The New York Times has openly relished ripping down and vandalizing statues, as demonstrated by the full-page photo essay on the front of the Friday National section under the suspiciously celebratory headline “Dumped, Painted, Toppled, Boxed Up and Hoisted Away.” The removal or destruction of a variety of “racist” monoliths comes with the tacit approval, if not actual applause, of…

June 22nd, 2020 2:30 PM
The left has moved on from toppling statues of confederate generals to now defacing and erasing any person associated with America’s early history. After statues of George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant were vandalized in Baltimore and San Francisco respectively, the Museum of National History decided to remove a statue of Teddy Roosevelt as well. The hosts of The View discussed this…

The Founders and National Debt
July 25th, 2019 8:19 PM
The Founders of the United States of America warned against massive federal debt, but, to our detriment, their political descendants are not paying attention. The Founders speak to us from their graves to condemn and warn of the consequences now that President Trump and Congress have come to an agreement about lifting the meaningless “debt ceiling” and increasing already massive federal spending…

July 4th, 2019 4:34 PM
Liberals are loudly denouncing President Trump for his plans to insert himself into Fourth of July festivities in the nation’s capital, He’s announced he’ll deliver a speech, as if that is unique, and provide tanks for the parade, as if that’s controversial.

If ever there were a famous Virginian, it is George Washington. Born and raised in Virginia, Mount Vernon was of course his historic home.

His Critics Have Not Blamed Him for the California Fires Yet
August 2nd, 2018 5:14 PM
WASHINGTON — It has been a pretty good week for Donald Trump. The economy is growing faster than anyone on the left or in the middle or among the Never-Trumpers believed possible. Inflation is low, and employment is at a record high. Moreover, the president and the European Union reached an understanding on trade last week that signals the likely end of a trade war, at least with Europe.
Trump and Sulzberger on Media Bias
August 2nd, 2018 5:08 PM
Every president since George Washington has suffered from a critical press. John F. Kennedy canceled all White House subscriptions to the New York Herald Tribune because of coverage he regarded as unfavorable.

What’s more important, preserving our country’s history, or somebody’s feelings? The historic Christ Church, an Episcopalian congregation in Alexandria, Virginia, made the decision to remove plaques memorializing George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their church, even though the plaques had been there since 1870. Fueled by the politically correct trend of wiping our country’s past clean from…

CBS Chicago Story Proves Trump's Point on Washington Statue Removals
August 16th, 2017 7:23 PM
President Donald Trump suggested at his August 15 press conference that after you start taking down Robert E. Lee statues that it could lead to the same fate for George Washington or Thomas Jefferson statues because they owned slaves. The response from much of the mainstream media was quick. They utterly mocked the notion that such an outcome could take place. An example of the MSM reaction came…

MSNBC Lionizes 'Action Hero' Obama as Superman, Washington Crossing th
January 29th, 2014 7:08 PM
MSNBC airs a bizarre video montage at the beginning of every episode of The Ed Show, but the program was especially outlandish on Monday and Wednesday, depicting President Obama as a series of larger-than-life figures. The liberal network first portrayed the chief executive as Superman standing on top of the White House, and later placed the Democrat's head on George Washington's body in the…
