Arlington National Cemetery

President Trump has signed an executive order called Making Federal Architecture Beautiful Again, and it require, of course, And it requires all new federal buildings be designed in the classical style in accordance with Greco-Roman architectural norms so as to reflect America's Republican ideals.

He just commissioned the building of what's called the Victory Arch near Arlington National Cemetery for our nation's 250th anniversary.

And in line with that, this is, can we go to the next one? Chattanooga, Tennessee.

This is their new courthouse in what they're calling Greco-Deco.

Soon it was time to begin turning off the machines that were keeping Ryan alive and did it hit by hit and got to say goodbye and look at him one last time.

Special Forces Staff Sergeant Ryan Means was buried in Arlington Cemetery.

The final line in her book reads, quote, in the end, if everything is not okay, it is not the end.

Damn.

They're all out of cash.

But they have $10 million to restore and then put back up a statue that had been removed from Arlington Cemetery during the Biden administration.

Why was it removed? Because it honored the memory of Confederate soldiers and at the same time depicted black people In a very demeaning way, I believe the statue includes mammies being led to salvation by a Confederate soldier.

So it was removed from Arlington Cemetery.

Hegseth called that decision to remove the statue woke.

The Washington Post reporting that this week, the Pentagon removed from its website and from Arlington Cemetery... wording saying that the statue created, quote, a mythologized vision of the Confederacy with sanitized depictions of slavery.

So they're spending $10 million to refurbish this monument to Confederate soldiers to put it back up at Arlington Cemetery.

And there was a plaque already ready for this refurbished monument.

let me just describe the scene that we have here, and I'll back up a little bit.

But right now, I'm looking at the charred facade of the Pentagon, a huge gaping hole on the side where the Pentagon teleport is located, the side that faces Arlington Cemetery.

In front of me is a long line of rescue personnel with backboards.

They're just waiting for victims to be brought out so they can rush them to nearby medical facilities.

Is this related to this 9-11 more project?

No, that was completely different because when I was in the TAP-DC community, there's a holiday event at Arlington Cemetery called Reefs Across America.

Mm-hmm.

So I read about a Taiwanese-American that was buried there.

Eight service members died on that first day, and there was more casualties afterwards.

And Eddie Chen, who was the Taiwanese-American, was the first casualty of that day.

It was through the Arlington Cemetery databases.

I found this Taiwanese story, and I did some investigative research, and I found out about the TV series.

I did.

The site of the assassination of JFK and President Lincoln, Arlington National Cemetery.

Why did you take your children on that history tour?

Well, it's, um, so we've done several and we do them in chunks.

And that's what we should be focusing on and not on any of these other things that really don't matter in the story of America.

And this is coming on the heels of the Trump administration stripping any criticism of Confederates at Arlington Cemetery.

Again, another very strong piece of evidence that they're going to destroy the Smithsonian.

Right.

What's the beef?

a Civil War Arlington National Cemetery monument that should have been left alone.

It was reported this week that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wants to spend $10 million out of the Army budget to move the Daughters of the Confederacy monument created in 1914 back to Arlington Cemetery, since people are now looking at a basically a piece of wood plaque and an empty platform.

Now, this was done in 2023, back when bases were being renamed with the same mindset that caused the Robert E. Lee statue to be covered in spray paint in Charlottesville, Virginia.

So for these whiners of historical background, I have an edification called a Bonus Baby Bible Verse of Romans 1219.

The Defense Protective Service, which is the police force here in the Pentagon, has been urging people to get out of the building and move away from the scene so they can handle the emergency situation.

Again, it appears that an aircraft of some sort did hit the side of the Pentagon, the west front, which faces sort of toward Arlington National Cemetery.

It's a corridor where a lot of Army offices are located.

Wow.
