    ALTNATPARKSERVICE adbook post 

    The Trump administration has taken over full control of what appears on National Park Service websites. For decades, park staff managed their own sites, working closely with local communities and tribal nations to tell the stories of the places they know best. That’s over now.

    Since February, a group of Trump administration Interior Department officials have been screening every new submission before it can go live, checking that content aligns with Trump’s 2025 directive to frame American history in a more flattering light. Historic sites, battlefields, natural wonders all of it now runs through this “approval process” before the public sees a word.

    For example, a tribal group submitted an article for the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail website. By the time it was approved and posted, any mention of Thomas Jefferson fathering children with an enslaved young woman had been deleted.

    This is a gut punch. NPS staff have long been the stewards of their sites’ stories, building relationships with communities and tribes over years to get the history right. That collaborative tradition has been replaced by a centralized vetting process run out of Washington designed not to ensure accuracy, but to ensure compliance.

    This is pure sacrilege.

    wasn't certain where this belonged.

    it is VERY difficult to sympathize with foljs who vote against their own interests. repeatedly....


    It’s speaks to how ingrained the Dixie-fixation of rural America is. To a broader point these people will always vote republican because they’ve been lied to and sold an anti democratic idea of what America is instead of what America stands for. It’s not just Trump, it’s been the past 40 years of storytelling from conservatives. I don’t blame them for being brainwashed. Like a lot of white America, they were told they were special when reality shows, it’s not really the case.

    Are CCOOTWH voters proud of this? Does this represent “only the best people”? Sure it does. Bottoms up!

    From Letter From An American:

    Hegseth is not the only member of the administration in trouble in the news today. After journalist Sarah Fitzpatrick wrote an April 17 story in The Atlanticdetailing FBI director Kash Patel’s drinking and inability to perform his job, Patel sued both The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick for defamation, asking for $250 million in damages.

    The Atlantic and Fitzpatrick stood by the story, which had two dozen sources. Fitzpatrick noted that after she published the piece, additional informants came forward to corroborate her findings.

    Today, Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig of MS NOW reported that the FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation into who talked to Fitzpatrick. Sources told the reporters that such an investigation, called an “insider threat investigation,” usually involves government officials who may have given away state secrets or classified documents. Focusing on leaks to a reporter is “highly unusual,” they say. Although it remains unclear what steps the investigation has taken, Dilanian and Leonnig note that it could allow FBI agents to obtain Fitzpatrick’s phone records and examine her social media contacts.

    One of the sources told the reporters that FBI agents feel ”deep concern” about the probe. “They know they are not supposed to do this,” one source told the reporters. “But if they don’t go forward, they could lose their jobs. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”

    FBI spokesperson Ben Williamson denied the story, telling Dilanian and Leonnig: “This is completely false. No such investigation like this exists and the reporter you mention is not being investigated at all. Every time there’s a publication of false claims by anonymous sources that gets called out, the media plays the victim via investigations that do not exist.”

    Under Patel, the FBI has already investigated a New York Timesreporter who wrote a story about an FBI security detail assigned to Patel’s girlfriend and searched the home of a Washington Post reporter.

    Today the FBI raided the offices and business of Virginia state senator L. Louis Lucas, 82, a Black woman who led the movement to redraw Virginia’s districts after Republicans redrew districts in Republican-dominated states. The Fox News Channel was on the scene, suggesting it had been tipped off by the FBI.

    Meanwhile, Fitzpatrick published a new story today in The Atlantic reporting that Patel travels with “a supply of personalized branded bourbon” with the label “KASH PATEL FBI DIRECTOR” and an FBI shield. She explains: “Surrounding the shield is a band of text featuring Patel’s director title and his favored spelling of his first name: KA$H. An eagle holds the shield in its talons, along with the number 9, presumably a reference to Patel’s place in the history of FBI directors. In some cases, the 750-milliliter bottles bear Patel’s signature, with ‘#9’ there as well.”

    In what sure reads like a journalist burying a subject with evidence, Fitzpatrick lists the places and occasions on which Patel has given out bottles of the whiskey and explains that he has transported the whiskey on a Department of Justice plane including to the Olympics in Milan, Italy. When a bottle went missing during a “training seminar” with Ultimate Fighting Championship athletes in Quantico, Virginia, Patel was angry enough that he threatened to make his staff take polygraphs and face prosecution.

    Fitzpatrick notes that “[s]everal current and former FBI employees, including multiple senior leaders, told me that the director regularly handing out his own personally branded bourbon, including to civilians outside the bureau, was unheard-of.” They explain: “The FBI has traditionally had a zero-tolerance approach to unauthorized use of alcohol on the job and for its misuse while off duty.”

    “Handing out bottles of liquor at the premier law-enforcement agency—it makes me frightened for the country,” George Hill, a former FBI supervisory intelligence analyst, told Fitzpatrick.

    Ron Filipkowski of MeidasNews noted: “The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it.”

    So, so, so very much winning! The Golden Age is upon us! Rejoice to the sweet baby jeebus after anointing thyself with oil. Can I get a hallijula vape pen? Again LFAA:

    As the national average for a gallon of gas hit $4.56 today, the British energy giant Shell announced its profits were up 24% in the first three months of 2026. This amounted to almost $7 billion, more than twice what Shell made in the previous quarter.

    In the Wall Street Journal, John Keilman reported today that Whirlpool, which makes refrigerators and washing machines, said the Iran war has caused a “recession-level industry decline” and that Americans should expect to pay higher prices for appliances going forward.

    I can hear it already - "That f*ckin' Trump! He's just doing this to distract us from the war in Iran! (which is actually a pre-emptive destruction of Iran's nuclear weapons program, which threatens our entire planet).
    And, and...the White House Ballroom and, and...oh yeah... the Epstein files!" 
    Lemme tell ya' folks, President Trump can not only walk and chew gum at the same time, he can play ten games of 4D chess at the same time, which is what he does 24/7.
    So, how about trying to throw your hatred down - maybe just for this weekend? - and delve into this UFO info that every other modern day president has promised to release, but haven't had the balls to do.
    It's fascinating stuff. And scary af.
