New in PJ Media:
The Left’s war on American statuary is a calculated one. The idea of pulling down statues of Washington, Jefferson, and other former national heroes is to signal to Americans, and to the entire world, that a new regime is in power, one that has radically different values. The old order has gone, and a new one is in place, and those who fail to go along with the new authorities will be punished accordingly. The best way to communicate this to distracted, low-information, busy Americans is to tear down the statues of those whom they were taught to respect and revere as heroes and to put new heroes in their place. It is happening now in the U.S. embassy in France, where Old Joe Biden’s woke ambassador has made it clear with a series of wall portraits that the revolutionaries have triumphed, and the old regime has been overthrown.
Biden’s handlers’ far-Left ambassador to France, Denise Bauer, happily announced the change in a French-language tweet on Feb. 3. Over two photos, one of her standing in 2022 before portraits of her early predecessors, and then standing in the same area in 2023, with all the portraits replaced by those of Leftist activists, Bauer wrote: “It was one of the first photos taken when I arrived in Paris. 1 year later, we decided to do it again. Proud that the entrance to our embassy now better reflects the #IncredibleDiversity of my country. A value that I wear wherever I go in France.”
According to a Tuesday report in the Washington Free Beacon, “among the portraits Bauer banished was that of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, who served as minister to France in 1796. A portrait of Pinckney, a signer of the Constitution and general in George Washington’s Continental Army, was replaced by a photograph of transgender activist Sylvia Rivera, who claimed to have played a prominent role in the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City.” Rivera recounted proudly: “I have been given the credit for throwing the first Molotov cocktail by many historians but I always like to correct it. I threw the second one, I did not throw the first one!”
Also getting the axe in Bauer’s redecoration for the new, woke America was John Armstrong Jr., who was “minister to France from 1804 to 1810” and “was a major during the revolution who eventually became a U.S. senator and secretary of war.” Likewise deep-sixed was “Swiss-born Albert Gallatin, known as ‘America’s Swiss Founding Father,’ was minister to France as well as secretary of the Treasury and founder of New York University.” The likes of Pinckney, Armstrong, and Gallatin have an immense mark against them: they were all white males. That will never do, not for the embassy of a duly diverse and multicultural regime.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The change in portraits reflects the valueless, virtue-less, attitudes and mindsets of the idiots in charge. So does this

She was a 46-year-old North African woman living in Seine-Saint-Denis. Her husband had reported her missing earlier in Feb.
somehistory says
Thanks for that info, Gary Fouse. Probably he’s the culprit who did the demonic deed.
Linde B. says
To somehistory- We should all pray for Justice that the killer(s) of this decapitated woman are found, and that they get what is coming to them.
somehistory says
Linde B,, I pray as Jesus said….first for God’s Name to be seen as Holy by everyone; that His Kingdom come, and His Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. This will cause “Justice to be heard in the land.” Revelation tells us the “new earth” will be filled with “righteousness.”
“English Standard Version
“Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land (Jeremiah 23:5)
This will bring an end to all evil. No more will people be dismembering, beheading, or murdering and raping other people.
Rowena Haldane says
Thank you.. And what a Day that will be when all Creation will bow the knee to the living God.

Where’s the portrait of my hero, Alfred E Neuman?

If we the conservatives don’t speak up to stop the woke ideology we shouldn’t be surprised when that beautiful gift from France The Statue of Liberty is replaced with an equally or larger statue of Ru Paul.
I won’t even start on the fact that the Statue of Liberty was not intended to be a beacon for refugees / immigrants. Originally the statue was called “ Liberty Enlightening the World “ which I’m sure all y’all can deduce the meaning of her original name.

Sickening. But, you can already hear the French having a good laugh at these Wokw Idiots.
