Portraits & Statues

When reports broke that General Mark Milley’s official portrait at the Pentagon had been removed, establishment hacks were offended by what they considered to be an attack on one of their heroes. These are the same people who cheered on the leftist mobs that attacked the statues of real American heroes.

If you want to vandalize the Lincoln Memorial, spray paint Thomas Jefferson, decapitate Christopher Columbus, or tear down George Washington, that’s free speech.

When Trump tried in 2020 to strengthen penalties for attacking statues of American heroes, the entire left-wing establishment came down on him like a ton of bricks. They said he was the one who is “un-American,” not the anti-American rioters who hate our country.

By the way, when the left was taking down Confederate monuments and renaming schools and highways named after “Robert E. Lee” or “Stonewall Jackson,” Donald Trump was the lone voice warning that the real target was not the South, it was America. He warned that Washington and Jefferson would be next. He was right.

Of course, the vandalism of statues representing America’s heroes was just a symptom of the real problem.

Why weren’t there mobs of young Americans attacking those monuments 30 years ago? Because students then weren’t indoctrinated by left-wing teachers spewing anti-American history and claiming that all those “white bigots were evil.”

Many Republicans in state legislatures didn’t take it on. They were either too scared of the teachers’ unions or they didn’t care what was happening right under their noses in their state’s classrooms.

Thank God there are signs of a rebirth of freedom and patriotism. Young people are also gravitating toward Donald Trump. There are rebellions of students tired of the indoctrination and leftist insanity walking out of schools. May their numbers multiply.
