Improper Ideology by Clay Jones

Another fascist EO from the Great Red-Ass Baboon Read on Substack

MAGA re-education continues.

Donald Trump has issued an executive order for Vice President (sic) JD Vance to work with Congress to rid the Smithsonian Museum and National Zoo of “improper ideology” that is “inconsistent with federal law.”

First, what is “improper” ideology? Even Nazi ideology isn’t illegal, so what is Trump talking about here? And what’s “improper” about any ideology at the non-partisan Smithsonian? Is Fonzie’s jacket too woke? Is the Enola Gay gaying up the Air and Space Museum?

And what is “improper” ideology at the zoo? Are the zebras more Black than White? Are the Giant Pandas too Chinese? Are the Black bears getting preferential treatment over the polar bears? Do we need to deport the Brown bears to El Salvador? Maybe JD will remove all the animals that have exhibited gay behavior, which would include lions, bats, giraffes, bonobos, penguins, macaques, flamingos (obviously), lizards, gulls, and the mascot of the Republican Party, elephants, except they don’t stay in the closet and lie about it.

The Vice President is on the board of The Smithsonian, even if he’s a mascara-wearing couch-humping dolphin porn-searching gaslighting lying racist moron. However, while the federal government helps fund the Smithsonian (which includes the National Zoo), it’s not owned or under the government’s control. It’s not the responsibility of any of the three branches or even Elon’s fake and unconstitutional fourth branch.

All JD and Congress can do is cut funding if they don’t do as Trump “desires,” which is the way JD put it to Greenland, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires.”

The executive order on “restoring truth and sanity to American history” alleges that the country has undergone “a concerted and widespread effort to rewrite our Nation’s history.” It instructs Vice President Numb-Nuts to work with Congress to prohibit spending on “exhibits or programs that degrade shared American values, divide Americans based on race, or promote programs or ideologies inconsistent with federal law and policy.”

We don’t have laws that ban “improper” ideology. We have laws that PROTECT ideology.

Among the exhibits Trump wants to ban are those in the American Women’s History Museum that “recognize men as women in any respect.” The order also calls out an exhibit on race and sculpture at the Smithsonian.

Trump’s EO also instructs the Secretary of the Interior (Dough Burgum) to reinstate any national monuments or statues within his jurisdiction that were “removed or changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history.” You know, Confederate statues.

This falls right in line with Trump deporting a green card holder for protesting, cutting funds to universities for allowing protests, deporting people for writing Op-Eds, revoking hundreds of visas from student protesters, and banning words like “black,” “gay,” and “women” from government websites.

The Trump regime is trying to rewrite history while engaging in censorship. It’s re-educating. Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and making English our “official” language is a part of this, too.

This is what fascist governments do. The Nazis, the Soviets, and Imperial Japan all attempted to change history, currency, and even the languages in nations they captured. In North Korea, they tell the people their leader is a god who doesn’t even need to poop and he can talk to dolphins. By the way, dolphins can be gay, too. Russia claims that nobody is gay in the country, not even the dolphins.

The Smithsonian is wonderful, and now I’m scolding myself for not visiting the place in over a decade. It has 19 museums, 14 education and research centers, and the National Zoo, and they’re all FREE. I’ve been there several times, with most of it spent in the Air and Space Museum because I couldn’t drag my kid out of there.

If you’re in Washington, visit the Smithsonian. Hell, make a special trip to visit Washington (use the Metro while you’re here). I love the zoo, and the pandas are back. Visit it soon before Donald Trump destroys it, like he’s also planning to do with the Kennedy Center.

Everything Donald Trump touches dies.

Music notes: I listened to The Who and some Pete Townsend solo stuff. He really wants to kiss those rough boys, but not in Russia.

Stand with Sarah McBride: Join the Bathroom Ban Protest

I assume you read this blog because you care about trans rights. At the very least, you are not hostile to women like me. As such, I have a favor to ask of you.

You may or may not be aware. The very first openly transgender person was elected to the House of Representatives in this past election cycle. Sarah McBride was elected to Congress to represent the state of Delaware in an at-large House district. The people of Delaware believe she is a good choice to represent their interests in Congress.

Unfortunately, the Republicans in the House have seen fit to disrespect her in a truly nasty way. They have decided to bring a transgender bathroom ban to the halls of Congress. This disgusting turn of events began with Nancy Mace of South Carolina. She introduced a resolution this week. It would ban transgender women from using women’s bathrooms and other facilities at the Capitol. She has said that the bill “absolutely” targets Rep.-elect Sarah McBride. House Speaker Mike Johnson has voiced support for this move.

Sadly, among the Democratic caucus, only Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has had the courage to speak out forcefully. A few others have joined her in opposing this move. It simply has not received the widespread condemnation that is so resoundingly deserved.

Now to that favor I mentioned. Today, there is a petition circulating. It allows cisgender women to state that they are opposed to such actions “in their names.” As I write this, almost 2700 cis women have signed the petition. It needs many more signatures. I ask you to sign this petition.

Share it with like minded women who also are unafraid of transgender women in “women’s spaces.” I’m providing a link to the petition below, with the exact title given to it.

The journey continues. The Republicans are sending strong signals about how they intend my life to be in the future. I will not be silenced.
