A portrait of Confederate general Robert E Lee that includes a slave guiding his horse is set to be reinstated in the Pentagon.

The 20-foot-tall painting, which was on display at the United States Military Academy for 70 years, will be hung in the West Point library under President Trump’s instruction despite a congressionally mandated commission that ordered its removal back in 2020.

    And this is what it was all about, people.

    All the BS about “maga” and other baby-talk words are just noise - it’s about the RACISM and the butthurt that someone might point out that racism is a bad thing…telling others they might be racists is the real crime and the real hatefulness, in the conservative view.
