George Washington was known for his bravery and determination to be bold in the fight for freedom.  His legacy continues this effort as they guard against the infiltration of partisan political ideology at his heritage home in Virginia, Mount Vernon.  But other historical figures are not so lucky.
Ronald Reagan, our 40th president, is best known as the conservative movement’s most extraordinary champion of the modern day, and his library is a prized possession of Simi Valley, California.  Yet when you go to the list of distinguished board members, it reads as a who’s-who of the far-left and globalist establishment.
The original slogan of Ronald Reagan’s campaign was “Let’s Make America Great Again,” a catchphrase that today is slandered by those in politics who oppose the tagline’s intention.  Mark Levin said, “I campaigned for Ronald Reagan in 1976 and 1980.  I worked in President Reagan’s administration for eight years.  I did not realize that Fred Ryan, now the publisher and CEO of the Washington Post, is also the chairman of the Reagan Library & Foundation board.  Now, given the Washington Post’s leftist agenda and the conservative legacy of the great Ronald Reagan, this appears to me to be a huge conflict.”
The son of the media mogul Rubert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, sits on the board and is an openly vocal rival to the movement, despite being the heir of the Fox News dynasty.  This slanted perspective of the board can be seen in the selection of guests welcomed by the revered library.  A notable guest was Liz Cheney, who was ousted from office by the current populous MAGA movement in Wyoming and was seen as a controversial guest at the library.
The opponents of this crusade have taken the time to insert themselves in the conservative party’s prominent institutions.  Thomas Jefferson’s stately home Monticello has a new department called “Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion.”  The New York Post claims that visitors complain “that employees go out of their way to belittle Jefferson and his life.”
Matt Briney, vice president of media and communications of Mount Vernon, said,” Our mission is to protect the estate.  To present to the 350,000 children that come to Mount Vernon a year with facts and allow them to learn history through the eyes of those that lived it.”
The organization was started by a group of women wanting to preserve the home and its history.  They purchased it from the Washington family and assumed control in 1860.  Then formed the Mount Vernon Ladies Association in 1953.  The society avoids getting into political movements because it is privately funded and takes no government money.

We were Regan Library members until they demanded proof of vaccination to enter. They lost us as members. We will never go back.
You don’t go there anymore? GREAT news for the rest of us!
Reagan was a douche.
mark Levin is controlled opposition.. He wouldn’t even bringup election theft on his radio show after 2020. He still doesn’t have ’s to bring it up two years later.. His paycheck is what he cares about.. Even today he has the nerve to support Kevin Mccarthy for leader and turn around and tell us we’re not conservative if we don’t support Mccarthy.. Mark is one of the greatest disappointments ever.. He’s so brilliant and knows the truth but can’t say it because as i stated he’s controlled..
