Will Trump make the Smithsonian display their nephilim bones?

GOP Oversight Member Suggests Smithsonian Hiding Bones of Giants

In June, Rep. Eric Burlison, a Missouri Republican serving on the House Oversight Committee, appeared on BlazeTV’s Prime Time with Alex Stein, where he discussed his belief that giants once existed. Burlison told Stein he was scheduled to be at “NephCon 2025,”

He credited Timothy Alberino’s podcast with sending him “far down the rabbit hole,” eventually reaching claims that the Smithsonian Institution is hiding evidence, the bones of past giants that lived on the Earth.

I thought those were hidden in the Humboldt county museum in Winnemucca Nevada after the excavation of Lovelock cave?

“This initiative aims to ensure alignment with the president’s directive to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive or partisan narratives, and restore confidence in our shared cultural institutions,” the letter, sent to Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch, says.
Official whitewashing is better, somehow?

...and PragerU programing to replace PBS programing?

The right-wing media company that may be Trump’s pick to take overtake traditional public broadcasting networks has a video where a cartoon of Christopher Columbus minimizes slavery.

A clip circulating on the web from the right-wing media company PragerU, which the Trump administration has partnered with, suggests that slavery was “no big deal.”

“Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?” the clip says. “Before you judge, you must ask yourself, ‘What did the culture and the society of the time treat as no big deal?'”


or Huckabee's "Kids Guides."


If they weren't so dangerous they would be laughable.

Is hiding the nephelim (or however it is spelled) bones not right wing spin to hide the evidence of the bible? Or is this GOP Congressman just a nut job?

What's next? Chick tracts?

-- A2SG, seems right on point....
I loved Chick tracts.
Making mediocrity into a career is a tough niche, but Jack Chick excelled at it!

When we were in Vegas last year, I actually was passed a Chick tract on the street. I didn't think people still tried to give those things out any more.

-- A2SG, we all had a good laugh over the the thing before placing it in the appropriate receptacle....

““There’s something really Christlike about George Floyd’s aura in death,” the exhibit’s creator told the Times.”

John Mcwhoter is right. The woke left is like a religion. It even has its own saints.

Jack passed in 2016 and I believe left his art to the public domain, though last I checked there was still a Chick site selling tracts.

From where did you see this quote?
Here is the AI take that I found interesting:
  • Injustice and suffering: Both accounts involve a public death marked by extreme suffering and a perceived injustice at the hands of authority figures.
  • Symbol of a larger struggle: Both individuals became symbols of larger movements – Jesus as the central figure of Christianity and the fight against sin, and George Floyd as a symbol of racial injustice and police brutality, sparking the largest racial justice protests in the United States since the Civil Rights Movement.
  • Impact and transformation: Both deaths, through their highly public nature and the events that unfolded in their wake, led to significant cultural and societal impact, inspiring reflection and action. As The New York Times highlights, artist John Akomfrah, who used the quote in a montage, suggests the "banality, the stupidity of it — the sheer awfulness of it — seemed to transform him into something else."
  • Call for reflection and action: Drawing a parallel between the deaths encourages a deeper examination of individual and societal roles in perpetuating injustice, as some argue that society has placed its collective "knee on George Floyd's neck" and needs to address systemic issues, according to Medium.

The anti-woke crowd tends to want everything black and white.

It’s in the linked article posted by the OP.
Thank you…(the “told the Times” threw me)
yes someone was explaining what the art “said” to them, continuing…”Part of it is just the very public nature of the death: The banality, the stupidity of it — the sheer awfulness of it — seemed to transform him into something else.”

Art is like that you’re allowed to have differing opinions on it or even stupid opinions (such as we witness here).

Art that is suppressed gets no dialog.

Trump 2025: The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future.


Trump 2017: “I had the privilege of visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture right here in Washington, D.C. It’s a new, beautiful Smithsonian Museum that serves as a shining example of African Americans’ incredible contributions to our culture, our society, and our history,” Trump said in the 2017 clip.

It also tells of the great struggle for freedom and equality that prevailed against the sins of slavery and the injustice of discrimination. The work and love of the people who help create such a masterpiece is a testament to the legacy of so many leaders it honors,” he continued.
