An Army spokesperson said that under the revived instructions of President Trump, they were not prepared to ‘erase’ history

A portrait of Confederate general Robert E Lee that includes a slave guiding his horse is set to be reinstated in the Pentagon.

The 20-foot-tall painting, which was on display at the United States Military Academy for 70 years, will be hung in the West Point library under President Trump’s instruction despite a congressionally mandated commission that ordered its removal back in 2020.

    And this is what it was all about, people.

    All the BS about “maga” and other baby-talk words are just noise - it’s about the RACISM and the butthurt that someone might point out that racism is a bad thing…telling others they might be racists is the real crime and the real hatefulness, in the conservative view.

      We are watching the winners rewrite history right in front of our eyes. This is worse then 1984. We need to make sure we can undo all this bullshit. And burn this fucking painting.
