And we need to bombard Trump’s people demanding that he ABOLISH the National Endowment For The Arts on Day One of his administration. (Reagan wanted to, but never did.) I sent the idea to https://www.greatagain.gov/ yesterday.
My husband said he read online that the play, “Hamilton” received, or is receiving, funding from the NEA. (That begs the question, “Why do tickets cost $1,000 +/- ? Are they reimbursing us, the taxpayers, for the money? I don’t think so. I expect that the producers and private backers are pocketing the profits — not replenishing the U.S. coffers.)
NEA also funds all sorts of stuff the ultra liberal artsy-fartsy, socialistic, Obama/Clinton voters, adore.

We lived in HI for a few years. They pretty much hate America. Everybody voted against Statehood — or so they say now. (Amazing that it passed since nobody voted for it.) Very PC. Very anti-haole — except that they expect the haoles to be productive enough to fund their socialistic government.
