She Visited the Smithsonian So You Don't Have To

And, yes, it is as bad as you would have imagined. It's a 30 minute video, but it's worth skipping around to see some of the lunacy.

Obama and Biden were far more destructive than we know .

Wow. And it's OUR tax dollars paying for this shite. Infuriating.

Sure different than when I was there last 40 years ago. A lot of amazing things then and very pro American, still remember one display that stuck with me, it was things collected at the Vietnam wall.
A six pack of Schlitz, 4 full two empty and bent. Next to it a note. "Jimmy, promised when we got back stateside we would get together and have a few, promise made promise kept, rest easy my friend......

hard to make a 88 yr old tear up - but this is still working on me -
In creases my hatred for this new breed of DSA overtaking my country and ruining my nation

I am so pissed what the wackos in Obamas staff had been allowed to do.

I'm seeing things and actions, not just this, that should have been done in Month 1.

We spent about 10 minutes in that place and left.

They have a pair of Dorothy's Ruby Red Slippers, there are actually five pair.
One fella bought a pair, along with a bunch of other Oz stuff when they got rid of it 50 years ago. He had a business touring schools with the items and telling the kids about courage, and studying, home, etc.
Judy Garland's anniversary was coming up and their museum asked if they could borrow his shoes, he loaned them to them and someone broke in and stole them.
Search went of for years. Some guy is drunk in a bar in Wisconson lamenting he has these slippers but cant prove provenance so he cant sell them. Bartender calls the FBI and they search the guys house and he has them, but how to prove they are genuine.
They take them to the Smithsonian and the curator (who also has dyed her hair ruby red) takes one look at them and says they are real.
She pulls out a magnifying glass and tells the gmen to take a look, see here and here, the sequins are a slightly different color, our shoes here at the Smithsonian have some as well. Apparently during filming some fell off, so they went to a dime store got some sequins and glue and would just glue them on during filming.
Second confirmation, put them side by side......they arent the same size. She said neither are ours, apparently during the auction he got one of ours and we got one of his. They made one pair smaller because her shoes kept slipping off while dancing on the yellow brick road.
The guy claimed them on insurance but it wasnt a lot of money. By the time they were recovered, what was now the insurance company's shoes, the price was over a million and he could not afford to get them back. I dont know if it was resolved or not.
One pair sold two years ago for 32.5 million.

I went in '83 and only remember Archie Bunker's chair. Bet that is gone now.

Rush got lambasted by the MSM for saying he hopes Obama failed.

By the way, I got to watch about half the video. She’s cute
And the part about the winemaking industry leading into Ilhan Omar was hilarious.

I was last there in 2009 and 2014 during the Obama years. It had been turned from a wonderful museum into a temple for Obama worship. I haven't seen it in a dozen years now, but I had hoped that it would have reverted back to a respectable institution once the great god and worshipful master, Obama, had left office. Apparently it hasn't.

I watched the whole thing and wow it's pretty disgusting. 1b dollars a year they get to spew that bile.
Posted on 8/4/26 at 8:51 am to AUstar
I knew it was bad, but I had no idea it was THAT bad. It looks like a lit up casino on the inside, not a museum.

Damn! You're 88 and on here? That's awesome.

How about some examples so we don't have to watch the video?

Just imagine what an autographed copy of "Rules for Radicals" hand signed and addressed Obama will sell for!
Of course a dollar won't be worth the paper it's printed on, so...
