New York’s City Council is now spending some of its time advancing a plan that could kill off monuments honoring figures such as George Washington. The Democrat-led council’s Cultural Affairs Committee is set to hold a public hearing tonight on a proposal to yank artworks from city property dedicated to historical figures such as George Washington, Peter Stuyvesant and Christopher Columbus because of their 'controversial pasts'.
A statue of Thomas Jefferson, the drafter of the Declaration of Independence and America’s third president, was removed from City Hall last year because he was a slaveholder.
The Cultural Affairs Committee’s upcoming hearing involves legislation that would require the city’s Public Design Commission to publish a plan to remove works of art on Big Apple property “that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity.”
If the commission determines that a statue or monument honors a person who committed crimes against humanity but votes not to remove the artwork, it would require the city to install an “explanatory plaque” about the misdeeds of the historical figure.
Denying the past and not seeing and understanding how things happened in the context of their own time is a very dangerous first step towards not being able to understand one's own place in society. But try to explain that to these lib chuckleheads. I'll wait here...

A giant solar tendril, known as a solar filament, lashed out from the sun on Saturday (Sept. 16) catapulting a super-hot plasma eruption known as a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a G2-class moderate geomagnetic storm watch as it keeps an eye on the Earth-directed portion of the CME expected to hit on Sept. 19.
This could be good news for aurora chasers. Should the CME arrive as anticipated, it could trigger a geomagnetic storm similar to the one on Sept. 12 that sparked auroras as far south as Colorado and Missouri.

DeleteRemoving statues? Just another reason NYC should be left to flounder in its own illegal immigrant mess without any federal help. FU NYC.
