The NY Times has totally given up on a few things- journalism, objectivity, veracity and history.
They now advocate for the destruction of Mount Rushmore
First, a history lesson.
The Lakota tribe only held the land around Mt. Rushmore for a time. They stole it from the Cheyenne.
After this, the Lakotas became fierce buffalo hunters riding on horseback. In around 1720 the Lakota split into sects and scattered in the region but later by about 1760 they relocated in close proximity on the east bank of the Missouri river. However, they couldn’t cross the river for over a decade due to the influence of powerful tribes Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara. Ending the long wait, in 1780, after the great small-pox epidemic killed three quarters of these powerful tribes, the Lakota crossed the river and settled in the grass prairies of the high plains. By 1775 all the Lakota sects were settled in the high plains and a year later they defeated the Cheyenne people and captured the Black Hills (Paha Sapa) and made it their home.They weren't exactly a peaceful tribe:
The Lakota are a very strong and fierce tribe with legendary warriors and the battles and treaties that took place between the Lakotas and the United States’ Government have a long and popular history. First recorded incidence was the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 where the Lakotas did not allow the explorers to head upstream the Missouri river and the conflict ended without casualties after a standoff. The southern Lakotas, in 1843, attacked a village owned by Pawnee chief Blue Coat in Nebraska and killed many and burned their lodges down.The US obtained the land from the Lakotas who killed the Cheyenne for it. The Pawnee also got hammered along the way. It was all so peaceful.However, Lakotas and other tribal bands attacked emigrant trains and settlers which attracted a vengeful hit back from the US Army in 1855 under General William Harney, killing more than 100 Lakotas.
The Lakota slowly migrated south and westward and pushed aside the Omaha tribe in this early migration. At first, they didn’t have horses, but horses were spreading throughout the Plains from Spanish settlements in the Southwest. By 1742 the Tetons had gotten horses and they became more and more like horse-riding nomads. In the Central Plains the Lakota came into conflict with the Pawnee, a village tribe that held the rich hunting lands of the Republican River Valley until the Lakota entered the region. The Pawnee war parties usually made their trips on foot, unlike other tribes. Because the Lakota were mounted on horses, they had an advantage.The Times cannot bring itself to tell you how brutal these tribes were to each other, but it is the truth.The Omaha war parties varied from eight to a hundred warriors. All members of the party were volunteers. The leader was usually a well-known warrior who had demonstrated his skill in battle. The warriors are said to have worn a white covering of soft, dressed skin for their heads. No shirt was worn, but a robe was belted around the waist and tied over the breast. No feathers or ornaments could be worn at this time. In actual battle, the warriors wore only moccasins and breechcloth.
Sometimes the wives of a few of the men accompanied a large war party to help care for their clothing and to do the cooking. A sacred War Pack, kept in the Tent of War, was important in any war activities. The contents of the pack were believed to protect the tribe from harm. A returning war party with the scalp of an enemy held a special scalp or victory dance. Men who won special honors on the warpath were permitted to wear an eagle feather in their scalp locks. Certain warriors might also wear a deer-tail headdress. Only important men wore the large feathered headdress seen in movies and only on social occasions. Only the men wore feathers in their hair, but the women might wear them on their clothing.
Trump spoke at the monument last night. The Times' response was predictable
Yet when obama visited there in 2008 Mt. Rushmore it was well, different

The NYT building must be torn down. It sits on land stolen from the Indians.
Darth VAder, is RIGHT The New York Times must go. They are a sinking ship as we speak.
Mount Rushmore’s reply: NY Times must go!
the stupid arrogance of these people is amazing.
That the NYT acknowledges the existence of Mount Rushmore is progress considering that it ignored the Holocaust.
I would worry if the NYTimes praised Pres. Trump.
So is the NYT owned by China? That would explain their over the top treason.
Toss AP into the group that must go.
This AM over breakfast I was reading the day’s “news” posted by the local TV station. It led off with an article about Trump’s speech copied from AP. I immediately wrote the station manager and told them it was an opinion piece disguised as “news”. It disgusted me. I pointed out their editor who chose to run it extant, especially the identification of President Trump as “Trump” either was representing the station that must agree with the article or he is brain dead. Either or, he is the current manifestation of Howard Beale from Network or Ted Baxter from Mary Tylor Moore show. Neither is correct.
It is now time to destroy the New York Times, wipe their building from the face of the earth, and eradicate the Marxist scum who produce that anti-American screed!!!!!
“...dark and divisive speech...”. If the truth were known, the NY Slimes had that article written weeks ago. That would have been their critique regardless WHAT Pres. Trump would have said. We’re onto them! We are well aware that only hatred and venom can come from that corrupt rag. Therefore, we are not surprised by their vileness. In fact, we anticipate it.
I suggested yesterday a cruise missile with 5K warhead would be my weapon of choice to do it. Get em all and make sure of it.
Let me see this fairy tail right they tell of no liberal family member never had a slave and never killed an Indian they only helped them to grow food.........................................
When the crock smells the strongest it’s full.
From Long Ago:
In the early 1700’s, the Cheyenne took the Black Hills from the Kiowa.
In 1776 the Lakota Sioux defeated the Cheyenne in war and took the Black Hills from them.
About 100 years later the US did the same to the Sioux.
Why does the first conquest confer legitimate title and the second doesn’t?
I have been emailing and calling the media outlets recently too. They sicken me and I am so pissed off with their lying , bias crap
The problem was that the Lenape tribe who sold it actually lived in what is now Brooklyn and were just passing through. Imagine if the guy who was walking his dog in front of your house sold it cheaply to someone. The Wappinger who lived on Manhattan fought the Dutch to keep it.
NYTs is going away, slowly.
We will not see its like again, I hope.
BRING IT ON NYT!
Manhattan started on a real estate fraud? The tradition continued for centuries.
