"I don't have any regrets." The director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History is under fire after defending the museum's exhibits during a tense House hearing. When Republican Rep. Brian Jack asked whether she regretted any exhibits displayed during her tenure, director Anthea Hartig replied, "I am incredibly proud of the work we've done... But I don't have any regrets." Pressed on what mistakes had been made, Hartig said, "There are always factual errors." The exchange came moments after Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez blasted a museum exhibit suggesting Benjamin Franklin may have conducted electrical experiments on indentured servants or enslaved people — despite, he said, offering "no evidence whatsoever."

Representative Nancy Mace DESTROYS Director of the Smithsonian Museum for approving materials that are sexually graphic and nature, and are on full display for all children to see. How she is not in prison is beyond me, because if you or I were to expose a child to sexually related materials, that would be considered a felony.

Bishop Earl Walker Jackson — a great-grandson of slaves — is torching the Smithsonian National Museum of American History for what he calls anti-American "indoctrination" designed to make citizens "angry and bitter and resentful" of their own country. His target: NMAH Director Anthea Hartig, who was caught on video calling history a "prime tool of social justice" and pushing reparations rhetoric to UCLA students. A White House report concluded the museum has undergone full "ideological capture." Jackson says the rot goes deeper than one museum — tracing it to Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," which he calls the most influential textbook in American public education. "They frankly have been brainwashed and indoctrinated into it."

We can’t make this shit up! Director Hartig, Smithsonian’s Director of American History Museum, is SUPPOSED to be in charge of and aware of all that goes on in that facility. What I saw was a woman attempting to act ignorant on programs she is very aware of, but her acting skills weren’t as convincing as she was hoping. Issue of concern brought up by Congressman Brandon Gill: 1) ‘Latina Power’ paraphernalia is sold there and according to Dir Hartig, “we strive to service all Americans in our museum.” I bet she wouldn’t feel the same way if ‘White Power’ paraphernalia was recommended for sale there.😏 2) She claims that Mickey Mouse is not racist, while claiming it has traditional roots in black face minstrelsy … then admitting that minstrelsy has obvious overtones of racism that has been well documented. So … according to Dir. Hartig, Mickey Mouse isn’t racist BUT has racist overtones.🤦🏽‍♀️ 3) ‘Politeness is important’, Dir. Hartig says. All while her own Smithsonian Mass Action Toolkit calls ‘politeness’ as part of White Supremacy. So … is she attempting to give all the crazy arse black women, going apeshit nuts in society, a pass … and all the random beat downs by black men an excuse?!🤦🏽‍♀️ • Black Americans (around 13-14% of the U.S. population) account for roughly 25-35% of arrests overall and a higher share of violent crime arrests/offenses, per FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) data. 4) Dir. Hartig says that they [Smithsonian] strive to be objective and nonpartisan and not based on any ideology about history. All while the Smithsonian Mass Action Toolkit calls ‘Objectively’ as one of the core and defining aspects of White Supremacy Culture.😳

Mike Gonzalez, senior fellow at The Heritage Foundation, told Congress they need to “clean out house at the Smithsonian,” during a House Oversight subcommittee hearing Tuesday focused on the way the Smithsonian Institution presents scholarship on U.S. history. Rep. Brian Jack, R-Ga., asked Gonzalez what Congress should do to fix what he described as an “ideological takeover of many of our institutions.” Jack said it was “clearly a problem” that is “dividing our country.” Gonzalez said that “trying to reform with the present leadership” wouldn’t do anything. “They're committed to the things they want to do,” he said. “We only have to listen to what they say and look at the evidence of what they have produced.” Gonzalez said the Smithsonian’s exhibit review process, which the director of the National Museum of American History had previously detailed, isn't “going to fix anything.” In announcing the hearing, the Republican-led committee claimed that the “Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is promoting a narrow, politically tendentious agenda instead of seeking to instill in visitors an appreciation for America’s unique history as a beacon of liberty, democracy, and opportunity.” In President Donald Trump’s second term, his administration has sought to clamp down on how American history is framed in public spaces, removing exhibits from national parks on slavery and violence against Native Americans. The hearing is one of two scheduled for this week in the House focused on the Smithsonian.

🔥 Vivek Ramaswamy Schools Reporter Who Tries to Maintain the January 6th Narrative "You asked me yesterday about would I be...a little bit more responsible about how we talk about the events of January 6 and whatever happened? And I specifically asked about the number of undercover FBI agents who were in the field. And you said, Christopher Wray has repeatedly said that there were none. That's what you told me. Well, I went back to specifically the testimony...That's just not what he said. Christopher Wray repeatedly, when asked and pressed by Clay Higgins, a congressman from Louisiana. He repeatedly pressed him, and Christopher Wray said, for all kinds of reasons, he's not going to state how many federal agents or whether there were federal agents in the field or whether there were informants in the field. And I think, in your case, I don't think that that was an intentional gotcha, but I think that this becomes part of the actual narrative, part of the baseline narrative, that it then misleads the public."

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declined to weigh in when asked about the growing controversy surrounding Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner. The questions came after multiple women accused Platner of abusive behavior and raised concerns about a Totenkopf tattoo — an emblem historically associated with Nazi death camp guards. One former girlfriend alleged Platner fantasized about rape and violence, while another described what she said were troubling encounters during their relationship. Platner has denied wrongdoing and pushed back on the allegations. As scrutiny surrounding the candidate intensifies, Ocasio-Cortez repeatedly avoided directly addressing the claims when pressed by reporters.

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert grilled the Smithsonian yesterday because she thinks a museum dedicated to American history should feature “tens of millions of aborted babies.” I just… Huh? That’s not how history museums work, space cadet. They preserve and interpret history. They don’t exist to check every box on a politician’s culture war wish list. The hearing was supposed to evaluate the Smithsonian. Instead, it became an exhibit on the GOPs own ignorance of what museums are for. Colorado, the country, deserves better, and smarter, than this.

To give people an idea of how bad things were in the budget hearing earlier, this was VP Sara Duterte repeatedly refusing to answer the questions of House Deputy Majority Leader Janette Garin (1st district Iloilo - Lakas-CMD), choosing instead to repeat the line "I will forego the opportunity to defend the OVP 2025 budget proposal in a question and answer. I will leave it to the House of Representatives to decide the proposal." This same mantra went on for about 3 hours. She refused to answer any questions.

🚨 SUBPOENA BILL GATES Rep. Nancy Mace has formally demanded that Bill Gates testify under oath about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Not rumours. Not gossip. Under oath. She says the files contain disturbing allegations — including claims involving secretive behaviour and questions raised in emails referenced publicly this week. Her position is simple: Nobody is above the law. Not billionaires. Not former presidents. Not political powerhouses. Mace says she wants answers to basic questions: Who knew what? When did they know it? Who was present? Were any girls underage? Did anyone participate? She also says over 1,000 alleged victims cannot equal only one accomplice. If there was a trafficking network, there were witnesses. There were facilitators. There were clients. Now she’s calling for all of them to face questioning. Not selective outrage. Not partisan protection. Full testimony. Full transparency. Under oath. The pressure is no longer limited to social media. It’s inside Congress. Rep. Nancy Mace

🚨 BOOM! Tulsi Gabbard just lit a fire under Washington. She says more than 120 taxpayer-funded biolabs across 30 countries have been hidden from public scrutiny and claims Americans were repeatedly misled about gain-of-function research. Then she directly called out Anthony Fauci and other officials, accusing them of covering up information and attacking those who asked questions. “Not only did they lie, they threatened those who tried to expose the truth.” For years Americans were told not to ask questions. Now those questions are getting louder. If Tulsi’s allegations are true, this could become one of the biggest scandals in modern government history. The Deep State won’t like this one.

Rep. Nancy Mace on Ilhan Omar Investigation: “Let the Process Play Out? Nothing Ever Happens.” Our reporter, Alison Steinberg, asked Rep. Nancy Mace where the investigation into Rep. Rep. Ilhan Omar Omar stands amid questions about her citizenship and the referral to the House Ethics Committee. Mace said she attempted to subpoena immigration records tied to Omar, but the effort went nowhere. “The mark is always ‘let the process play out,’ right? That’s what they always say - and nothing ever happens,” Mace said. She added that a motion tied to the issue was ultimately killed by Republicans, arguing that too often both parties close ranks when investigations get close to their own members. The question now: Will the Ethics Committee actually act - or will the investigation stall once again?

Rep. Kweisi Mfume, D-Md., said Black Americans are “outraged at what is happening now with these efforts to do away with the African American museum and all of the Smithsonian,” during a House Oversight subcommittee hearing Tuesday. “If you erase it, we will replace it,” Mfume said. “It’s that damn simple.” In his comments, Mfume quoted former President Abraham Lincoln and said “history taught us and still teaches us that we can't keep making the same mistakes.” Mfume said he sat at the hearing “as a Black man who grew up in segregation, who wasn't allowed to go certain places, who drank from a water fountain that said colored, who found his mother and his father unable to do anything other than basic day work.” “We will not let you destroy that museum. No matter how long it takes, how many battles are required, how much effort is needed, we will not allow that to happen,” Mfume said. “Unless you find a way to kill all of us and walk over our bodies to change history.” The hearing focused on the way the Smithsonian Institution presents scholarship on U.S. history. In announcing the hearing, the Republican-led committee claimed that the “Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is promoting a narrow, politically tendentious agenda instead of seeking to instill in visitors an appreciation for America’s unique history as a beacon of liberty, democracy, and opportunity.” In President Donald Trump’s second term, his administration has sought to clamp down on how American history is framed in public spaces, removing exhibits from national parks on slavery and violence against Native Americans.
