Trump executive order on Smithsonian targets funding to programs with ‘improper ideology’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump revealed his intentions to reshape the Smithsonian Institution with an executive order Thursday that targets funding to programs with “divisive narratives” and “improper ideology.”

Trump said there has been a “concerted and widespread” effort over the past decade to rewrite American history by replacing “objective facts” with a “distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth.”

He signed an executive order putting Vice President JD Vance in charge of an effort to “remove improper ideology” from the Smithsonian Institution, including its museums, education and research centers and the National Zoo.

Trump’s order specifically names the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the Women’s History Museum, which is in development.

“Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,” the order said.

Big up to all of those brothers and sisters for keeping the devils out of their communities.

Several Los Angeles police officers are at the center of a complaint alleging they made racist, sexist, and homophobic comments about their colleagues, potential recruits, and L.A. citizens.

According to the L.A. Times, a 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department secretly recorded dozens of conversations in the department’s recruitment office between March and October 2024 that captured his colleagues making the bigoted remarks.

Roughly 90 recordings reveal several officers and supervisors making racist statements and even targeting their colleagues with derogatory homophobic language, according to the Times, citing a complaint filed on Jan. 5.

According to the complaint, a Latina officer who once discussed how to physically fight Black citizens told her colleagues, “You hit Black people in the liver; I heard they got weak livers.”

That same female officer was also recorded telling a Black officer that “Black people like grape soda” and that Black people drinking Kool-Aid “go by color, not flavor.”

During that conversation, a Latino officer reportedly added, “Black people enjoy watermelon in between basketball.” The complaint states that that officer also bragged that he once called the cops on some Black children who were selling chocolate in his neighborhood, saying, “They do not belong here.”

The Black officer who was reportedly part of the “grape soda” conversation, was also reported to have called Black people “monkeys,” and would vocalize his thoughts while watching television news reports about crimes allegedly involving Black people with comments like, “What’s new?” and “Those people are horrible.”

President Musk and his orange puppet are dismantling all of our civil rights, the economy is in the toilet, and thousands of Black federal employees have been terminated. Trump is doing his very best to bring back the racial climate of the 1950's, he has emboldened anti-Black racists, and America is becoming a laughingstock around the world.
But hey, at least we didn't elect that Jamaican Indian woman, right family?
