A statue of Christopher Columbus was installed on the grounds of the White House early Sunday morning, as part of President Trump’s effort to position the explorer as a hero after monuments to him were removed across the country.
The statue is a replica of one that protesters in Baltimore tore down and dumped into the city’s Inner Harbor in the summer of 2020. The statue’s marble pieces were retrieved from the harbor, and a Maryland artist used them to guide the creation of the replica.
The new statue was erected sometime overnight on the north side of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, facing Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, which houses offices for White House staff and is next to the West Wing. The statue is behind fencing.
“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero, and President Trump will ensure he’s honored as such for generations to come,” said Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, in a statement.
The toppling of the original statue stemmed from the racial justice protests that erupted after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. More than 30 statues were dismantled in the span of four months, either torn down by protesters or ordered removed by officials.

No reason to apologize for our history, in fact we should be proud of it!
Bwaaaahahahahahaha!
Love it!
Mike,
I did not know this. It is fascinating. Thankyou for pointing this out:
**George Washington’s mandated variolation (the 18th-century precursor to modern vaccination) for the Continental Army in early 1777 was administered through a simple but deliberate procedure known as arm-to-arm inoculation.**
A physician or surgeon would first select a patient with active smallpox pustules (typically mild cases from prior inoculations to minimize risk). Using a lancet, knife, or scalpel, they lanced a pustule to collect pus or lymph material. This infectious material was then inserted into the skin of the recipient via a small incision or scratch on the arm (or sometimes the hand or leg), allowing the virus to enter and cause a controlled, usually milder infection that conferred immunity. The process was done in isolated or quarantined locations (e.g., Philadelphia facilities or Morristown, New Jersey encampments) to prevent uncontrolled spread, with troops inoculated in staggered groups (often 5-day intervals) to avoid overwhelming medical resources or creating widespread outbreaks. Recovery took 2–4 weeks, during which soldiers experienced fever, pustules, and weakness but far lower mortality (~1–2%) than natural smallpox (20–40%). Washington ordered it secretly at first to maintain operational secrecy from the British, with recruits and susceptible troops prioritized, ultimately protecting around 40,000 men and preventing devastating epidemics that could have ended the Revolution. This was the first large-scale military immunization effort in American history, though risky by modern standards.
All the statues that were removed should be replaced, bigger and taller and whiter than before.
The Minneapolis waste treatment plant should be named after George Floyd.
The original statue in Baltimore.
The protesters were nothing more than anarchists the worst of the human race if they can even be called that.
Eventually, we were able to contain it although it took us 4 years.
The anarchists don’t even know who is on statues and memorials. I remember they vandalized the memorial to the Massachusetts 54th ‘colored’ troops.
Christopher Columbus was reportedly born in Genoa Italy, his DNA shows not only was he a Spaniard but was Sephardic Jewish ancestry at that. So you have a exiled Jewish diaspora statue in the grounds , as a person with triple DNA confirmed Basque, Canary, Sephardic and Ashkenazi bloodlines Fing LOVE IT.
Best POTUS EVVVAAAAAHHH
Oh and death to muzzies they chant death to America all the time whats good for the goose is good for the gander. There is no other cheek to turn.
You nailed it. I wonder why the braindead hate the Italian explorer, Columbus but mention Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci every time they open their big mouth. How many times is the word AMERICA used in D.C. It’s everywhere you look. People who don’t know their history are the most ignorant people I’ve ever met.
Anarchists have hate for everything normal they don’t understand it.
It’s like trainging feral dogs to do tricks.
Agree some call it a test from the insane.
Thank you for sharing!
I agree the information is fascinating.
“The toppling of the original statue stemmed from the racial justice protests that erupted after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020.”

Typical NYT: 2 lies in one sentence.

Go, Trump! Good move, sir.
Evidently the white race is the only race that can carry a disease to a new place.
Yes
Hey. No. That’s anti Italian BS.
Wow! What an insight. Thank you.
