From the earliest ages of history to the present day there never have been thirteen millions of people associated in one political body who enjoyed so much freedom and happiness as the people of these United States. You have no longer any cause to fear danger from abroad... It is from within, among yourselves - from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power. - Andrew Jackson

Here Comes Harriet Tubman Day

Eradicating America requires deleting its heroes and holidays. Abolishing them all at once might engender resistance, so they are gradually phased out in favor of new heroes and holidays, which serve to remind us not of America’s greatness but of America’s guilt, because the surest way to destroy a nation is to turn it against itself.

This is why Democrats and their Republican doormats designated “Juneteenth” as a federal holiday, despite no one having heard of it before the Black Lives Matter riots. The point was to set up a rival holiday near the 4th of July, so as to replace it.

Even government workers have to show up for work sometimes. It goes without saying that as woke holidays are invented, traditional holidays will be erased to make room for them on the calendar.

Harriet Tubman, an anti-slavery activist, is already slated to replace the great Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. But moonbats want to get more mileage out of her. They make the case for Harriet Tubman Day:

The bookstore named after Harriet Tubman misspells her name. No matter; Harriet Tubman Day is sure to become a federal holiday, just as soon as our woke uniparty decides whether it should be positioned to replace Thanksgiving or Easter.

Wilma Mankiller Put on US Quarters

Lest we forget who are rulers are, moonbats are placing their stamp on American currency, even as they reduce its value toward nothingness through inflation. For political correctness, this may top even replacing Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Not only is she “the first female principal chief of the Cherokee Nation,” her name is Mankiller:

Enthuses CNN:

The “tails” side of the coin depicts Mankiller in a traditional shawl looking to the future, with the seven-point star of the Cherokee Nation at her side. The “heads” side still depicts George Washington — but in a portrait designed by the late sculptor Laura Gardin Fraser.

George Washington’s days on the quarter are numbered. The father of our country has already been slated for cancelation.

If only Wilma Mankiller were actually a guy in drag, they would put her on the front of the quarter and rename the nation’s capital after her too.

Republican Suggests Canceling Lincoln

It started with intolerant moonbats tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee because he personifies the South. Already it has reached the point of a Republican politician suggesting we should cancel Abraham Lincoln for being “reprehensible.”

If Democrats would cancel Andrew Jackson, why wouldn’t Republicans cancel Lincoln?

Despite characterizing his own reprehensible remarks as “mostly sarcastic,” Missouri state representative Tony Lovasco holds his ground:

“It’s unfortunate how many people think saying ‘Lincoln was reprehensible’ equals some kind of support for the Confederacy, especially given the context of my tweet. It’s quite possible to point out that neither Lincoln nor Lee where [sic] good people deserving honor.”

On the contrary, both Lee and Lincoln were great men. In contrast, Lovasco is a termite, helping progressives to eat away at the foundations of our nation.

Lovasco barks that…

“…while Lee may have been a terrible person (and should be condemned as such), Lincoln was no hero.”

Lee has been admired for going on 2 centuries for being a great man. His retroactive sin was fighting for his home Virginia, which he did for honorable reasons.

Lincoln too defended his country as best he knew how, earning a denunciation from Lovasco for being “responsible for the needless deaths of thousands of people, including large numbers of Native Americans.”

Because of honorable men like Lee and Lincoln, America survived the Civil War and became united again. Without some grace on both sides, a guerilla war might have dragged on for generations. Because honorable men are no longer prevalent in our society, the country is becoming unmoored from its history and torn apart again.

How moonbats treat Lincoln.

Why Democrats Suddenly Want Statues Honored

To express their resolution to erase our history and heritage, leftists have spent the past year defacing, tearing down, or officially removing hundreds of statues of great historical figures throughout the country, including Albert Pike, Alexander Andreyevich Baranov, Andrew Jackson, Caesar Rodney, Charles Linn, Christopher Columbus, Clayton Jackson McGhie, Colonel Charles Didier Dreux, David Dodd, Diego de Vargas, Edward Carmack, Fitzhigh Lee, Francis Scott Key, Frank Rizzo, Frederick Douglass, George Preston Marshall, George Washington, George Whitefield, Hans Christian Heg, Henry Lawson Wyatt, Hiawatha, J.E.B. Stuart, Jefferson Davis, Jerry Richardson, Jesus Christ, John C. Calhoun, John Mason, John McDonough, John Sutter, Joseph Bryan, Josephus Daniels, Juan de Onate, Kit Carson, Mahatma Gandhi, Marcus Daly, Matthew Fountain Maury, Matthias Baldwin, Orville Hubbard, Phillip Schuyler, Private Benjamin Welch Owens, Robert E. Lee, Robert Gould Shaw, Sam Davis, Sophie B. Wright, St. Junipero Serra, Stonewall Jackson, Thaddeus Kosciuszko, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, the Virgin Mary, Zebulon Baird Vance, and more, along with many war memorials and even the Ten Commandments.

Statues reminding us of the forbidden past are to be replaced by memorials to people leftists demand we revere, like the violent career criminal who perished in the world’s most famous fentanyl overdose, George Floyd.

Whereas the old statues were profane, the new ones are holy according to the religion of our liberal overlords. Therefore, they must never be treated disrespectfully; that would cause offense. It may also launch a federal investigation:

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams called for federal authorities to investigate the vandalism of George Floyd statues in both Brooklyn and New Jersey on Friday, just hours after they were defaced with slogans from a notorious white supremacy group — and before the afternoon sentencing of the ex-cop who was convicted of his murder.

The conviction of Derek Chauvin for personifying whiteness capped off a show trial worthy of the Soviet Union under Stalin.

Eric Adams will be the next mayor of New York, having emerged as the least terrifying of the moonbats running as Democrats. No Republican stands a chance, NYC having succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral like Detroit before it.

After they have purged the country of all monuments that do not reflect reverence for our new national religion, Critical Race Theory, vandalizing statues will no longer be encouraged or even tolerated by the liberal establishment.

Biden Kills National Garden of American Heroes

At least Trump respects our country and its heritage, in stark contrast to the political opposition:

Executive Order 13978, signed Jan. 18 by former President Donald Trump, directed a task force to construct a statuary park populated with sculptures of important figures in American history. Trump enacted the order in response to calls to dismantle monuments and landmarks commemorating Americans who played major roles in the nation’s development.

That dismantling has been effected on an impromptu basis throughout the country by Black Lives Matter and Antifa thugs, who have defaced and destroyed statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and others to express a ferocious hatred of America to which Biden and his party are eager to pander.

Executive orders are easily rescinded by more executive orders. This will be a wonderful thing if the For the People Act is defeated, because if we have fair elections a Republican president will be able to do away with the avalanche of EOs Biden’s radical handlers have placed before him. It is not such a wonderful thing with Democrats in power. On Friday, Biden signed an order nixing the National Garden of American Heroes, putting an end to a national project for the “restoration, veneration, and celebration” of those who created our great nation.

Critics claimed that these monuments highlighted controversial personalities, such as certain Founding Fathers, with a record of wrongdoing that shouldn’t be celebrated.

If they can dupe us into rejecting our own Founding Fathers, liberals have killed America.

The National Garden was set to feature influential Americans including John Adams, Muhammad Ali, Andrew Carnegie, Frederick Douglass, Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, Milton Friedman, Andrew Jackson, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, among many others, according to the order.

Note that it included heroes of the Left, like the socialist tyrant FDR and the anti-American draft dodger Muhammad Ali. Not good enough. It also included people leftists hate for not being leftists. All such people are to be canceled, not honored.

Biden’s handlers are likely to reverse any Trump executive order out of juvenile spite. Five other ones were revoked on Friday. It is surprising they didn’t get around to killing the National Garden sooner, given their intolerance toward American tradition.

In its place, they might create a National Garden of Sociopathic Lowlifes, featuring statues of the dead criminals the liberal establishment demands we revere.

Late Show: Giants of US History Were “Douche Nozzles”

The leftist ruling class has no reverence for or even comprehension of what they are destroying. If the great composer Richard Wagner can be dismissed as a “buttmunch” at the University of Cambridge, why shouldn’t George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Benjamin Franklin be characterized as “douche nozzles” by the knuckle-dragging wokesters who write Stephen Colbert’s “jokes”?

Colbert crows with delight that Andrew Jackson will be replaced on the $20 bill by someone more politically correct:

“So it looks like Tubman is on her way to the 20. That’s pretty great, right?”

But John Thibodeaux, who writes for the show, is not satisfied. US currency is not good enough for Harriet Tubman if she has to share it with the malefactors who built our nation.

Barks Thibodeaux,

“She repeatedly risked her life for other people’s freedom and now we’re asking her to hang out with those douche-nozzles? She needs a squad! I’m talking Frederick Douglass on the one, Rosa Parks on the five, W.E.B Dubois on the hundo.”

W.E.B. Dubois wanted to impose the antithesis of the nation that Washington, Lincoln, Franklin, and other maligned giants of American history bequeathed to us. He was a communist.

Viewing what we are told is our culture through the lens of network television is like watching barbarians sack Rome or Byzantium. Crude, malevolent fools grunt and smash where great men once flourished.

Will Woke Mob Erase Abraham Lincoln From Currency?

The Babylon Bee started out as satire. It has become an oracle, predicting what moonbats will soon inflict on us. Are you wondering what’s next for Abraham Lincoln, after his name is removed from a high school due to his insufficient political correctness? Ask the Babylon Bee:

Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary-designee Janet Yellen has announced plans to remove Abraham Lincoln from the penny and replace the racist, anti-BLM president with the Black Lives Matter fist.

If Abraham Lincoln was racist, then the black supremacists of Black Lives Matter must not be racist.

Lincoln won’t be missed on the penny, which inflation has rendered worthless anyway, but Yellen also intends to cancel Honest Abe from the $5 bill (fortunately only according to the Babylon Bee).

Why not? Liberals have already misguidedly lobbied to cancel Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill for his long-ago thought infractions against the intellectual orthodoxy of today’s ruling class and so that he can be replaced by someone more racially correct.

Purging Washington, DC of American Heritage

It isn’t paranoia or hyperbole. Leftists are methodically erasing American civilization. The process is well underway in the nation’s capital. Cultural vandals are even going after the Washington Monument:

A committee formed by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser issued a report Tuesday recommending the removal, relocation, or contextualization of the Washington Monument and a number of federal monuments and buildings in Washington, DC.

Bowser formed the District of Columbia Facilities and Commemorative Expressions, or “DC FACES” committee in July, to study assets in D.C. named after individuals to “ensure these individuals reflect contemporary DC values,” according to the report.

“Contemporary DC values” in this context is synonymous with “ultraradical Black Lives Matter dogma.”

Like most left-wing political initiatives nowadays, the purge is explicitly racist:

The committee was asked to make recommendations if a namesake is “inconsistent with DC values and in some way encouraged the oppression of African Americans and other communities of color or contributed to our long history of systemic racism.”

Historical giants slated for the memory hole include Christopher Columbus, Benjamin Franklin, Andrew Jackson, and Thomas Jefferson in addition to George Washington, after whom the city is named.

It isn’t just monuments they are after:

The committee also recommended renaming a number of other assets, including: public schools; residential buildings and campuses; community and recreational centers; parks, fields and playgrounds; government buildings; streets, roads and bridges; landmarks, and commemorative works; and statues and memorials.

“In all instances we believe strongly that all District of Columbia owned public spaces, facilities and commemorative works should only honor those individuals who exemplified those values such as equity, opportunity and diversity that DC residents hold dear,” it said.

The Caucasians who created America were not diverse, so they will be consigned to oblivion.

This is why Bowser had BLACK LIVES MATTER painted in giant yellow letters on 16th Street leading to the White House. She shares the ideology and the objectives of the terrorists who have been tearing down statues of the Founding Fathers throughout the country.

Ron DeSantis Is Best Hope for Countermoonbats

They did not get traction with their alarmingly divisive “Threat to Democracy” demagoguery, or with the other issue they campaigned on, abortion. Yet Democrats were able to reduce the expected red tsunami to a purple puddle, thanks to their Trump card:

Democrats’ strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.

The moonbat Mehmet Oz, selected possibly because Trump’s wife is a fan of his Oprah spinoff television show, managed to lose to a cognitively disabled radical leftist in purple Pennsylvania.

Other winnable races were lost by Trump candidates Doug Mastriano (PA), Tudor Dixon (MI), Don Bolduc (NH), and John Gibbs (MI).

Trump candidates may yet lose winnable races in Arizona and Georgia. Governor Doug Ducey was reelected by 14 points in 2018 and might have won the Senate race here in Arizona by even more against the mollusk Mark Kelly, but he couldn’t run because Trump doesn’t like him. Georgia was stuck with Hershel Walker because “Trump helped clear the primary field and other candidates opted out.”

So far, the only high-profile Trump candidate to win is J.D. Vance. Trump boasted that Vance was “kissing my ass.” Vance won anyway, pulled across the finish line by a $32 million cash infusion from Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund. Prior to this, Vance was trailing in red Ohio.

Many of his policies were great, and Trump displays an admirable willingness to push back against the liberal establishment. But people resent him for feeding his own ego at the expense of all other concerns. His appeal outside his base has evaporated. He is unelectable at the national level.

The best election news came from Florida. Just a few years ago, Ron DeSantis beat ultraleft degenerate Andrew Gillum by less than half a percentage point. Since then, he has turned the state deep red. He won by nearly 20 points, right after Trump denounced him as “Ron DeSanctimonious” and threatened to dish dirt on him.

DeSantis is no mealy-mouthed RINO but an esteemed countermoonbat. He takes the bull by the horns in the Culture War, transforming Florida into the place “where woke goes to die.”

Dan Henninger makes a gloomy prediction:

If Mr. Trump announces next week that he’s running again, the 2024 presidential election ends that day. It guarantees a wipeout for Republicans.

Yet there is hope. The site Election Betting Odds currently gives DeSantis a 38.6% chance of securing the nomination to Trump’s 36.2%, and the gap is widening.

Trump sabotaged the Georgia runoff in 2021 by blaming party leaders for not overturning the 2020 election results, actually urging Republicans not to vote. This allowed Democrats to take control of the Senate, then inflict $trillions of damage on the economy through wasteful spending and put leftist kook Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court. Now he has tripped up the GOP in the midterms, sparing Democrats the stern rebuke they had coming. He is the Democratic Party’s most valuable asset.

The options are obvious. We can go with DeSantis and win, or we can go with Trump and lose.

The 76-year-old Trump had his chance to drain the Swamp. Let Ron DeSantis have his.

Google’s Doodle Tells Us to Revere Kiyoshi Kuromiya

Once again, Google rams moonbattery down the Internet’s throat with its doodle for the day:

As liberals systematically cancel our national heroes (Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, et al.), they are to be replaced by new ones, like Kiyoshi Kuromiya.

Who was he? Let’s let liberals describe his significance. From way-left Wikipedia:

[C]ivil rights, anti-war, gay liberation, and HIV/AIDS activist … Kiyoshi Kuromiya was born on May 9, 1943, in Wyoming at the Heart Mountain Concentration Camp…

Note the capitalization, as if FDR’s wartime internment camps literally called themselves concentration camps. The actual name of the place was the Heart Mountain Relocation Center. The purpose of this subtle lie is to equate America with Nazi Germany and the USSR, which had proper concentration camps where people tended not to survive for long. Kuromiya was destined for wokeness, born oppressed by America’s horrific iniquity…

Back to Wikipedia’s hagiography:

Kuromiya came out as gay to his parents when he was roughly 8 or 9 years old living in California and says that he was fairly sexually active.

Mozart started composing at age 4 and performing publicly at age 6. Moonbats answer that with Kuromiya, allegedly active in sexual perversion at age 8.

Here I was thinking that LGBT children existed only in the fetid imaginations of leftists. Given the current emphasis on homosexualizing children, it is no wonder Google wants Kuromiya in the spotlight.

Kuromiya was even arrested precociously, confirming that he was born to be righteously oppressed:

He was arrested in a public park with a 16-year-old boy when he was only 9 or 10 for lewdness and was put in juvenile hall for three days as punishment.

Kuromiya got to attend an Ivy League school on a scholarship. This did not produce notable gratitude.

Kuromiya’s increased involvement in [leftist politics] during the early 1960s stemmed largely from his sexual orientation and his feeling that the University of Pennsylvania was very closeted.

Highlights of his résumé:

In 1965 Kuromiya and other activists took over Independence Hall in Philadelphia…

On October 20 and 21, 1967, Kuromiya joined a large demonstration organized by Abbie Hoffman that attempted to levitate the Pentagon building by joining hands around it in a performance art protest. When the levitation failed, Kiyoshi joined other protesters in taking police barricades to make bonfires all the way around the length of the Pentagon. …

Kuromiya co-founded the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) in 1969 following the Stonewall riots in 1969 with Basil O’Brien, who he met later while attending a Homophile Action League meeting in Philadelphia. … [T]he GLF was more radical than some of its peer organizations that formed after Stonewall. Under Kuromiya’s leadership, the GLF recruited a diverse array of people and stood in solidarity with groups such as the Black Panther Party…

After being diagnosed with AIDS himself in 1989, Kuromiya only intensified his advocacy work.

If you don’t want to live in a society where heroes have been replaced by moonbats like Kiyoshi Kuromiya, push back against Google, Wikipedia, and the rest of the liberal establishment with everything you have.
