One of the Republican Party’s rising stars left the director of the Smithsonian stumbling by utilizing a brilliant line of questioning that exposed her organization’s anti-white agenda.

During Tuesday’s House Oversight hearing, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) tangled with Dr. Anthea Hartig, Director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, over a mass toolkit her organization had been promoting that characterizes so many cultural manners and icons as white supremacy.

These include politeness, objectivity, and even Mickey Mouse.

Hartig stumbled, froze, and stammered at various points during her confrontation with Gill when confronted with this toolkit. Making it even worse, Gill used important yet easy-to-answer questions that an honest person could nail.

But not Hartig. What follows is nearly four minutes of complete destruction.

GILL: Would you say that the goal of history is to be objective?

HARTIG (pauses): Thank you, sir, for the question. I think there are many goals of history, and certainly as you collect and examine evidence…

GILL: Is objectivity one of them?

HARTIG: We strive to be objective and nonpartisan…

GILL: So it’s one of the goals. Does it seem a little bit concerning that this white supremacy document that your organization has promoted shows that objectivity is a defining and core aspect of white supremacy culture?

Do you think it is the goal of the Smithsonian to promote white supremacist culture?

HARTIG (pauses and writes): Do you mind sharing with me which document?

(Gill shows her the document, Hartig then goes silent)

GILL: Are you promoting a white supremacy culture at the Smithsonian?

HARTIG (puzzled): Am I promoting…

GILL: Ma’am, is this a difficult question?

HARTIG: No, sir. I’m just thinking about the mass action toolkit. We didn’t develop it.

But, um…We’re not promoting any ideology.

GILL: Does it concern you that one of your goals is objectivity, yet your mass toolkit references objectivity as a defining characteristic of white supremacy?

HARTIG: It’s not our toolkit…It is used as a reference, I believe, in 2019, 2020…

GILL: Yes, under your leadership, it has been used as a reference. Is Mickey Mouse racist?

HARTIG: Mickey Mouse is not racist.

GILL: According to the Smithsonian Institute, one of your exhibits referenced Mickey Mouse as “one of the last vestiges of black-faced minstrelsy.” Would you describe that as racist?

HARTIG: No, the historical trajectories of the origins of, of, of, Mickey Mouse tie directly to uh…

GILL: So, Mickey Mouse is rooted in racism. Is that your testimony?

HARTIG: No, sir, it’s rooted in minstrelsy.

GILL: You don’t think black-faced minstrelsy is racist?

HARTIG: It has certain and obvious racial overtones.

GILL: Do you think it’s problematic that Mickey Mouse also has those racial overtones?

HARTIG: It’s not for me to determine what’s problematic; it’s for me to determine what’s accurate.

GILL: Is it important to be polite?

HARTIG: Excuse me?

GILL: Is it important to be polite?

HARTIG: Yes, sir.

GILL: Interesting. The same mass toolkit your organization has been promoting references politeness as a defining characteristic of white supremacy culture.

Ma’am, are you a white supremacist?

HARTIG: No, sir.

GILL: Can you help me square why your organization says that being polite is a part of being a white supremacist?

HARTIG: I’m not familiar with the passage.

GILL: I just read you the passage from it.

HARTIG: And then your question was, sir?

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison was nearly shouted off stage during a campaign event on Monday in Minneapolis by his own supporters for not being soft enough on criminals. 

Ellison spoke alongside Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan at a rally in Minneapolis in support of Flanagan’s Senate campaign.

“I used to be the congressperson for the fifth congressional district, and when I decided to leave that job and become your attorney general, and thank you for that, by the way, I worried: Are we going to have somebody who is absolutely take no shit from anybody get into that job? Are we going to have somebody who if—” Ellison said as protesters interrupted, screaming “Fund the CRU, Keith Ellison shame on you!”

The protesters were referencing the defunding of his office’s Conviction Review Unit (CRU).

Ellison attempted repeatedly to continue speaking over the chaos.

“Thank you, thank you. Let— you know what we. Let, let us, let us,” he said. “Come on, guys. Okay, I got you, brother… We gonna let them have their moment.”

He continued, “Thank you, guys. Hey, look. Let me tell you, let me tell you. I believe in freedom of expression, so let’s give it a hand for our friends over there. They get to be a part of it, too. Now, but let me, let me…”

WATCH:

Ellison is facing backlash for suspending the CRU, which reviews cases for wrongful convictions. The program partners with the nonprofit Great North Innocence Project, a founding member of the Soros-funded Innocence Network.

Ellison tried to quietly suspend the unit earlier this month, and now his Democratic base is fuming.

Last week, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison advised the 16-person Conviction Review Advisory Board that he was suspending operation of his office’s Conviction Review Unit (CRU). Ellison did not issue an official press release, though several media outlets reported the suspension.

In his responses to media inquiries, Ellison cited budget constraints brought on after a federal grant that had supplemented the CRU’s efforts was discontinued. Under the circumstances, Ellison said that his office could no longer fund the CRU without compromising other core responsibilities of his office.

Previous reports described the CRU as operating with five full-time employees, including a director. The unit was funded by an undisclosed amount from the Attorney General’s budget, reportedly for two full-time employees. The remaining funding came from two federal grants totaling $800,000. We can safely estimate that the amount spent on this effort since its creation in 2021 approaches $2 million — an amount difficult to justify given the results it produced.

“Current budget constraints do not allow the program’s costs to be absorbed without compromising other core responsibilities,” Ellison said in a statement, blaming the Trump administration, according to Bring Me the News.

One of the Democrats’ emerging political ‘stars’ has made a stunning confession that vindicates those who have pushed for the SAVE America Act and investigating voter fraud that has occurred in previous elections.

On Tuesday, New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill took to X to confess that she had learned of a “serious software error” in the state’s Motor Vehicle System that allowed thousands of foreign nationals to register to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

This “coincidentally” occurred right in the midst of the 2024 election campaign. Sherill, of course, tried to assure that the impact was ‘minor.’

“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,” she wrote.

“These individuals answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.”

“Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted,” she added. “They were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.”

Sherrill assured New Jersey voters that she had ordered an investigation into the matter and the removal of the foreigners who were “erroneously added” to the voter rolls.

Then she took a shot at President Trump.

Upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024.

The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.

As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity.

For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans’ faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.

If the Democratic governor of New Jersey is admitting that foreign nationals illegally voted in New Jersey elections, then one can bet this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This also raises the question of whether voter fraud played a significant role in Kamala Harris winning the Garden State in 2024, which was unexpectedly close.

An investigation is certainly warranted.

A tale of two nations.

As the bilateral relations between neighboring countries, Poland and Ukraine, deteriorate, the situation of 1,5 million Ukrainian long-term economic migrants and 1 million war refugees in Poland is becoming ever more dramatic.

(Poland has 37 million people, so Ukrainians are almost 7% of the population.)

Even if UN numbers are correct and only 31% of Ukrainian refugees are on welfare, that’s still around 300,000.

Poland extended a warm welcome to over a million Ukrainian refugees and migrants after the start of the war in 2022.

Back then, with polls showing near-universal public support for this policy (around 94%).

By now, attitudes have shifted amid economic pressures and historical disputes, after Ukraine honored Nazi collaborators who massacred Poles in WW2.

Now, support for accepting Ukrainian refugees dropped immensely, and, for the first time, opposition is exceeding support.

Polish Police data shows a clear spike in anti-Ukrainian incidents, from verbal abuse to physical assaults.

Reuters reported:

“Police received 180 reports of alleged hate crimes against Ukrainian citizens in the first half of the year, an increase of more than 30%.

The number of nationality-motivated attacks in Poland is steadily increasing, according to data provided to the Polish press by the National Police Headquarters.”

As much as 180 incidents of this kind were reported to Polish police in the first half of 2026.

“In 2024, Ukrainians living in Poland filed 267 reports of alleged hate crimes. In 2025, that number rose to 275. The 180 reports filed in the first half of 2026 already represent an increase of more than 30% compared with the same period last year, and nearly 35% compared with 2024.”

You can vote your way into communism – but you can never vote your way out.

Communist tyrant Daniel Ortega announced this weekend that there will no longer be national elections in Nicaragua.

Ortega has been in power since 2007.

Daniel Ortega: “There will be no more elections here so that they [the opposition] can try to seize the government and seize power.” He added that “never again” would parties backed by the United States or “Somocistas” return to power.”

The pro-Cuban communist made the announcement during an official speech in Managua commemorating the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Sandinista Revolution, that is traditionally observed on July 19th.

Ortega has jailed many of the potential rival candidates. US Democrats are following in his footsteps as they continue to persecute Trump and his supporters including supporters in the media.

According to Grok, this announcement effectively cancels or rules out Nicaragua’s next scheduled general elections (originally set for November 2027, after earlier term extensions). It represents a further consolidation of power by Ortega (in office continuously since 2007) and his wife, Rosario Murillo (co-president).
