President Barack Obama announced Thursday evening the unilateral creation of three new national monuments to honor Americas civil rights history, along with adding tens of thousands of acres to two existing West Coast monuments.
Obama announced the creation of the Birmingham Civil Rights National Monument in and Freedom Riders National Monument in Alabama. Obama also created the Reconstruction Era National Monument in South Carolina using his authority under the 1906 Antiquities Act.

Trump, as his first official act, should designate Obama’s new house as a National Historic Monument.
And he should continue to designate every house the Obama’s move to as National Historic Monuments.
What would that accomplish?
How about ‘The Remains of the Branch Davidian Church’ National Monument?
Hmmmm????
I remember the day when Obama made the Stonewall Inn a “national monument”. Further proof we are in the Last Days.

This demonstrates the modern Progressive slant toward (i.e. perversion of) history.

How would it punish Obama? His ego is so huge that he would think it appropriate that where ever he sets foot should be a national monument.
I’m sure these designations are on Pres Trump’s list of things to undo.
