New in PJ Media:
As many have noted, there are in many ways two Americas now, with vastly different values. And just as all cultures celebrate their heroes in art, so also do leftists and patriots in America today. Leftists just installed a twelve-foot statue of an anonymous black woman who is very clearly not happy with you at all, smack dab in the middle of America’s cultural epicenter, Times Square.
Now patriots have struck back: a sculpture appeared in the Oval Office that appears to be a small model of what promises to be a nine-foot statue depicting the first assassination attempt against President Trump. The two statues bring the leftist and patriotic views of what constitutes heroism into stark contrast, and so they deserve a closer look.
Fox News reported Saturday that “a bronze sculpture depicting the attempted assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in Butler, PA, last year was seen displayed in the Oval Office on Friday. The commanding piece of symbolic art, which appeared to be at least 12 inches tall, was seen next to Trump’s Resolute Desk as he signed a series of executive orders in front of the press. It depicts the now-iconic image of then-candidate Trump being hauled off stage by three Secret Service members – including the current director of the agency, Sean Curran – after would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks fired off several bullets from a nearby rooftop at Butler Farm Show Grounds on July 13.”
The statue depicts the indelible moment when, “as they tried to move him off stage, Trump stopped and turned to the crowd, holding his clenched fist in the air and famously shouting, ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ as blood dripped from his ear after it was grazed by a bullet.” The Trump Statue Project is “planning on creating a nine-foot replica to honor the president,” and explains: “This powerful image, embodying ‘Confidence, Strength, and Hope,’ will be immortalized in this nine-foot-tall statue. It symbolizes the divine intervention as well as the man and his message of unity and resilience for which America stands.”
All right. So on one side, we have a statue that celebrates confidence, strength, and hope, embodied in an image of a man who was defiant even in the face of death. And from the other America, as PJM’s Ben Bartee reported Thursday, we have “a sloppily dressed, obese Womyn of Color™” who is defiant in the face of nothing at all. The sculptor explained that this giant woman was designed to “instigate meaningful connections and bind intimate emotional states that allow for deeper reflection around the human condition and greater cultural diversity.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Someone mentioned this statue closely resembles the (now former) Frontier Airlines “customer service” representative that argued with a passenger because he was a few minutes late to check-in. I think he was correct.

The statue of the overweight black woman with an attitude is a disgusting racial stereotype that the racist Demoncrats are trying too push onto America and the world stage. When will people of color stop believing the political organization that had them enslaved for so many years and fought a war to keep them enslaved?
Captain Smirk says
I am not against what he stands for, but I only have one name for this despicable low-life: ‘president Dump’ and the capital D is for ‘disputable’. At least he doesn’t have any tattoos (like his mindef), but what a low-life…
And the statuette is, how do you call that?, bs. PD makes me think of Goldfinger.
James Lincoln says
Captain Smirk,
Since you are not opposed to what he stands for, did you vote for President Trump in 2024?

Your comment makes little sense, but the entire lives of people like you make no sense. Miserable people like you shouldn’t comment. Take your meds.

So anyone on the right that has tattoos (tattoos that are not vulgarly in the languages they are written or gang symbols , and do not represent racist causes)is a “low life” ,but a lady boy reading gay porn to pre schools is a hero? Or a 12 foot tall statue of an unknown over weight black woman dress like a late night shopper at Walmart who has an expression on her face that she going to go full ghetto on some cashier who told her that her coupon for jumbo large frozen shrimp has expired is art. Trump does a troll on all media and the woke over the last 10 years You hate Trump no matter what he says or does ,he might as well troll you .Yes take down statues of Americans that did great things for America (Jefferson ,Washington ,Adams, Teddy Roosevelt ect) or even the hold world ,but they had faults ,or where too white .Put statues up for people who are outraged and directionless? They are many great black or “people of color” people that they can put up statues for .Why put up a statues to what looks like personal failure ? Does anyone aspire to be the late night shopper who dresses badly ,is overweight and mad at the world ?

BINGO!
somehistory says
Jesse Watters had a reporter interview people who live in NY on what they thought about the statue and for which it stands.
the statue represents Balck women who wear skin tight clothes and shout aggressively. Why celebrate that kind of thing? There are a lot of Balck women who are not represented by the ugly statue.
After some short period of time, the statue will get no more attention from the people as it is covered by bird droppings.
