The New York Post’s Jon Levine and Mary Kay Linge have a piece out about James Madison’s historic home, Montpelier, and what it looks like after its woke transformation. What they found isn’t pretty, but at least you can buy a copy of Ibram X. Kendi’s “Antiracist Baby” in the bookstore as a souvenir.
NEW from me and Mary Kay Linge:
The woke makeover of James Madison's historic home of Montpelier was even more extreme than Jefferson and Monticello.

They write:
The globalist billionaire who funded the woke transformation of Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello paid for a similar overhaul of James Madison’s house — where the author of the US Constitution has been shoved into a supporting role, while slavery and racism take center stage.
No American flags fly at Montpelier, Madison’s plantation home in rural Virginia, and not a single display focuses on the life and accomplishments of America’s foremost political philosopher, who created our three-branch federal system of government, wrote the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers, and served two terms as president.
Instead, blindsided tourists are hammered by high-tech exhibits about Madison’s slaves and current racial conflicts, thanks to a $10 million grant from left-leaning philanthropist David M. Rubenstein.

The bookstore is replete with CRT propaganda like Kendi's "Antiracist Baby"https://t.co/BzDBkC4vVt

All of this is made possible by grants from billionaire David M. Rubenstein — a longtime close business partner of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

If the next GOP President doesn't clean house at every executive agency, what's the fucking point https://t.co/UyXUD339DR

This: there has to be a way for the next GOP President to go deep into the bureaucracy and clean house. This government needs a good Stalin purge.

I agree. The next GOP President needs to fire everyone in the executive branch and only fill those positions that are needed.

The next president needs the House and Senate so that the laws can be changed that make it nearly impossible to terminate federal employees; even for cause. The President can't easily clean house except at the top level, and that person can't do much under them.

Exactly. The next chief executive should have this question backwards tattooed on his forehead. How much did you undo today?

The same thing is going on at Jefferson's museum in Monticello. The tour guides talk down about him and the bookstore is all woke propaganda.

The woke want to make sure no one knows their history. That way they can keep repeating it and claim they didn't know any better.

As a proud Virginian, this is humiliating.

All those gender studies grads from liberal arts schools that people make fun of they end up in teaching or government work. Maybe people are starting to recognize that.
