Just an FYI, Columbus Day came about as a diplomatic rection to an outraged Italy and Italian Americans from President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 from the largest one day lynching in U.S. history. 11 Italians were lynched in NOLA (President Harrison gave the families $25K at the time for reparations).

Maybe 47 can rescue all of the historic statues removed by dumbasses like Mitch Landrieu and find/build a museum for them.

Like them or not, they are artwork.

And the fabulous Italian community of Little Italy in Baltimore paid to have it rescued from the harbor and restored.

A replica of it is what the President will install at the WH.

Yeah IMO if you discover something but forget to tell anyone it really didn’t matter.

But the Public "educated" "Left" of Baltimore Viewed it as a symobl of white supremacy and tore it down.



America was built on an idea—freedom under God, ordered by law.
That inheritance was handed to all of us alive today, not earned by us, and not something we should apologize for.

I’m white. I’m straight. I’m male. I’m married. I’m Christian.
That’s not a crime, and it’s not something I owe an apology for.

History happened before our time. None of us can change it, and none of us should be forced to carry guilt for things we did not do or participate in. Gratitude is not oppression, and responsibility does not require shame.

God gave us this great inheritance of freedom.
We dishonor it when we allow Marxist ideology and perpetual grievance to replace truth, accountability, and personal responsibility.

I’ll treat every person with dignity—but I will not accept guilt for simply existing as who I am.
