"At the conclusion of her press conference, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany issued a series of questions pertaining to the Obama Administration and the unmasking of Michael Flynn to reporters."
Flash forward to 2020, and now the progressives say the founding fathers should solely be remembered for being slave owners, and all of their achievements have been nullified by many leftists. Some progressives not only declare that the founding fathers should no longer be admired, but they call for their statues to be ripped down. Now, there are people who want to cancel the "Hamilton" musical because it is based on the founding fathers. Many of the harsh critics are the same people who made the musical into a cultural leviathan.
Rossi: The Lib’s “Ignorance Pandemic” - Illinois Review "While everyone is very focused and concerned about the Covid 19 pandemic, what any rational person should really be focused on is the liberal’s “Ignorance Pandemic” which is putting our magnificent republic at great risk. Of course we have all watched the liberals protesting all across the nation and attacking our glorious history. ...But as they march around tearing down historic statues all across our nation and attack our history, they are helping any informed American understand how ignorant they really are. Let me share a few obvious examples:
One liberal mob tore down a statue of Ulysses S. Grant because he was supposedly a racist. Talk about ignorance! General Grant was the head of the Union Army (Republican) that defeated the Confederate Army (Democrat) that fought to keep slavery. Thanks to General Grant’s leadership the Union Army won and the slaves were set free. On top of that, the 15th Amendment which gave African-Americans the right to vote was passed under President Grant’s leadership. Pretty racist right?... Read all!!
This liberal ignorance goes on and on... Read all.
Trump's Fourth of July Speeches Drive the Left Crazy | CBN News "President Trump is being attacked for his July Fourth Speech at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota Friday, where he pledged to defend America's history from what he called "far-left fascism."
Trump attacked the so-called 'cancel culture' which seeks to erase part of American history.
He denounced it as a "left-wing cultural revolution", and said we only kneel to God.After weeks of rioting, burning cities, and toppled monuments, the president made clear in a speech in Washington that he opposes those trying to rewrite and eradicate American history and values.
"We will never allow an angry mob to tear down our statues, erase our history, indoctrinate our children, or trample on our freedoms," Trump said.
Speaking at Mount Rushmore, which some on the Left see as a symbol of white supremacy and would like to destroy, President Trump declared that the monument will never be desecrated and America's heroes never forgotten. The president warned, "Make no mistake this left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American revolution." He added, "In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished." Attacks from the Democrats and the media were fast and furious.
An effigy of Christopher Columbus was thrown into Baltimore harbor over the weekend, and in Rochester, New York, the statue of black abolitionist Frederick Douglass was vandalized.
There have already been at least 67 people shot in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend. Within four hours, from 11 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday, 36 people were shot. There were at least 13 killed during the holiday weekend, including a 7-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy.
Nine of the weekend's shooting victims were minors, a worrying trend of children being shot and killed in Chicago. A 7-year-old girl was killed over the holiday weekend.

"Dr. Thomas Sowell has just published "Charter Schools and Their Enemies." He presents actual test scores of students in traditional public schools and charter schools on New York State Education Department's annual English Language Arts test and its Mathematics Test. Sowell gives the results of student tests in charter schools such as KIPP, Success Academy, Explore Schools, Uncommon Schools, Achievement First as well as the traditional New York City public schools.
On the English Language Arts test, a majority of charter school students, most of whom were black or Hispanic, tested proficient or above.
Their achievement ratio was nearly 5 to 1.
On the Mathematics test 68% of charter schools' 161 grade levels had a majority of students testing proficient.
In the traditional public schools, 177 grade levels, just 10% had a majority of their student testing proficient.
...Sowell says: "In a realm where educational failure has long been the norm — schools in low income minority neighborhoods — this is success, a remarkable success.
What is equally remarkable is how unwelcome this success has been in many places.
What has been especially remarkable is that it has been the most educationally successful charter schools that seem to have drawn the most hostility, both in words and in deeds."... Read all.
The Morning Briefing: Beware America—Crazy Joe Biden Wants to 'Transform' You "For reasons that those of us on the right side of the political aisle will never understand, Democrats are always of the opinion that the United States of America is in need of overhauling. Barack Obama famously (infamously?) said that he wanted to “fundamentally transform” America. Thankfully, he was unable to completely do that. Now Obama’s senile Mini Me Joe Biden is parroting his former boss and going on about “rebuilding” and “transforming” our beloved country. Bryan wrote about Crazy Joe the Wonder Veep’s basement campaign here yesterday, and it’s a magnificent post. We’ve just spent several days being told that President Trump’s Mt. Rushmore speech was dark and divisive. Patriotism is very much out of fashion on the Left these days. It the eyes of the Democratic half of this country America is racist, broken, and almost irreparably damaged. When I hear a leftist describe the United States, I can’t believe we’re living in the same place..." Read all.
The memorial is in recognition of Canada's "role as a place of refuge for people fleeing injustice and persecution, and honour the millions oppressed by communist regimes." It is under construction in Ottawa and has been seen as controversial by some...
Then in May of this year, Power’s name appears on the unmasking list for General Flynn seven times, even though she testified under oath before Congress that she had “no recollection” of ever making such a request.
Our intelligence agencies have vast powers, and Obama used them illegally to spy on political opponents. This can’t be allowed to stand. And we aim to uncover the truth about this terrible corruption.
The Most Powerful Argument Against Forced Universal Masking That You Won't Read In The Establishment Media "Anytime things go from widely disputed to sudden, virtually-overnight national “scientific consensus,” it’s probably a good idea to be a wee bit skeptical. So it goes with the forced universal masking issue. We’ve obviously run quite the gamut on this, from being told not to wear them at all while the pandemic was at its peak -- and everyone and their neighbor was crowding and swapping moisture particles in Lowe’s and Walmart aisles across America -- to the now almost cultlike, lockstep message from politicians, the media and every leftist still too frightened to come out of their basement that not wearing masks in every possible setting is pretty much the equivalent to stabbing grandma in the heart. It’s all a farce, of course -- absurd theater forced upon us by people who would have probably believed in witches a few centuries ago. Now that the Karen-caucus has managed to browbeat most Republican lawmakers and even President Trump into some degree of at least verbal submission, they apparently expect the rest of us rubes to take their word for it and follow along. ...Nevermind the fact that the so-called “surge” in hospitalizations in Texas turned out to be, as Fox News medical correspondent Dr. Marc Siegel noted, mostly people getting “elective” surgeries that had long been delayed due to coronavirus...

Estate agents across England will be banned from using the term ‘Master Bedroom’ over its supposedly racist connotations as the Black Lives Matter purges continue to sweep through the country.
Prospective homebuyers will be given tours of “primary” or “principle” rooms instead of the traditional “master bedroom”, as estate agents fear that the demographic of their clientele is increasingly shifting to politically correct and easily offended Millennials.
