WTF Wednesday l News ketchup l HELLWORLD updates l trump mobile l WW3 . In his ongoing war on “woke,” President Donald Trump has instructed the National Park Service to scrub any language he would deem negative, unpatriotic or smacking of “improper partisan ideology” from signs and presentations visitors encounter at national parks and historic sites.
Instead, his administration has ordered the national parks and hundreds of other monuments and museums supervised by the Department of the Interior to ensure that all of their signage reminds Americans of our “extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity and human flourishing.”
Those marching orders, which went into effect late last week, have left Trump opponents and free speech advocates gasping in disbelief, wondering how park employees are supposed to put a sunny spin on monuments acknowledging slavery and Jim Crow laws. And how they’ll square the story of Japanese Americans shipped off to incarceration camps during World War II with an “unmatched record of advancing liberty.”
At Manzanar National Historic Site, a dusty encampment in the high desert of eastern California, one of 10 camps where more than 120,000 Japanese American civilians were imprisoned during the early 1940s, employees put up a required notice describing the changes last week.
Like all such notices across the country, it includes a QR code visitors can use to report any signs they see that are “negative about either past or living Americans or that fail to emphasize the beauty, grandeur, and abundance of landscapes”.
An identical sign is up at the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument in Kern County, a tribute to the struggle to ensure better wages and safer working conditions for immigrant farm laborers. Such signs are going up across the sprawling system, which includes Fort Sumter National Monument, where Confederates fired the first shots of the Civil War; Ford’s Theater National Historic Site in Washington, D.C., where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated; and the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Park.
So, nothing negative about John Wilkes Booth or James Earl Ray?
In response to an email requesting comment, a National Park Service spokesperson did not address questions about specific parks or monuments, saying only that changes would be made “where appropriate.”
The whole thing is “flabbergasting,” said Dennis Arguelles, Southern California director for the nonprofit National Parks Conservation Assn. “These stories may not be flattering to American heritage, but they’re an integral part of our history.
“If we lose these stories, then we’re in danger of repeating some of these mistakes,” Arguelles said.
Trump titled his March 27 executive order requiring federal sign writers to look on the bright side “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” He specifically instructed the Interior Department to scrutinize any signs put up since January 2020 — the beginning of the Biden administration — for language that perpetuates “a false reconstruction” of American history.
Trump called out signs that “undermine the remarkable achievements of the United States by casting its founding principles and historical milestones in a negative light.”
Unfortunately Trump is using the military as if it’s his very own Macys parade, Trump being one of the clowns😡😡😡
Looks like we have a troll, Randy I hear your mother calling you 🤡🤡🤡
Yea that is MAGAs MO. Triggered snowflakes with no facts
Don't forget - The fake manifesto inside the fake police car
There is no verified evidence that the suspect in the shooting of Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman had "NO KINGS" fliers in their car, as claimed. Official reports confirm the attack was targeted political violence and mention a manifesto with lawmakers' names, but no credible sources, including news outlets or law enforcement, reference "NO KINGS" fliers. The "No Kings" protests, planned for today, oppose Trump's policies, but no link to the suspect is established. The claim appears unconfirmed and lacks substantiation.
In 1980, John Lennon told 'Playboy' that 'Imagine' is a sugar-coated Communist Manifesto.
