Smithsonian Director Said She Has Zero Regrets After Getting Caught Smearing Ben Franklin With No Proof
A Heritage Foundation researcher stood in front of the House Oversight Committee and pulled the pin.
He told lawmakers about a Smithsonian display called The Electric Dr. Franklin.
The exhibit ran at the National Museum of American History from 2021 to 2025.
Its subtitle asked visitors to consider "Enslaved People in Franklin's Research."
The museum's own text admits it has no proof this ever happened.
"Indentured servants and enslaved people in his household could also have been used," the exhibit states, before admitting the museum may never know if that's true.
That is not history.
That is a smear dressed up in a museum placard.

Man Saves Wife from Being Euthanized by Canadian Government, Flees to Texas for Cancer Treatment
A Canadian husband is sounding the alarm after the country’s government-run healthcare system tried to euthanize his wife instead of saving her life, forcing the couple to flee to the United States, where she received treatment that has since put her cancer into remission multiple times.
The explosive testimony from Donovan James has gone viral after he accused Canada’s Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) regime of abandoning his wife, Kristin Logan, to die while refusing to provide life-saving care.
According to James, leaving Canada wasn’t a choice.
It was the only way to save her life

All seven Save A Lot stores across Chicago could shut down this summer after the company decided to end its partnership with the grocery operator Yellow Banana.
Deputy Commissioner Peter Strazzabosco from the Chicago Department of Planning and Development attributes the end of the partnership to the recent death of Yellow Banana CEO Joe Canfield and cuts to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
“Yellow Banana, Save A Lot, DPD and other financial partners are discussing opportunities to keep the stores open with potential investors or new suppliers,” Strazzabosco told NBC 5 Chicago in a statement. “The City’s priority is for the stores to remain open with a current or new operator. If they go dark, the goal is for each building to expediently re-open with a full-service grocer.”

Germany’s Productive Class Is Looking for the Exit
Germany spent decades building one of the most productive workforces in the world. It trained engineers, scientists, technicians, physicians, and business leaders under the assumption that education, sacrifice, and hard work would provide a better standard of living. That social contract is now breaking apart. The people who followed the rules are discovering that the government regards their success as taxable property.
Euronews reported that more than 288,000 German citizens moved abroad within a single year. Germany recorded roughly 97,000 more German citizens leaving than returning, the largest net loss since 2017. This is no longer limited to retirees looking for sunshine. The skilled and productive are searching for an escape from a system that increasingly punishes them for working.
An Indeed survey found that 54% of respondents with household net income of at least €6,000 had applied for jobs abroad or investigated the international labor market during the preceding 12 months. Two-thirds said they generally considered taking employment abroad, while 77% of those interested in leaving expected to remain outside Germany for several years or permanently.
The politicians will pretend that this is about the weather or some desire to experience another culture. The survey tells a very different story. Around 51% cited higher income, another 51% wanted a better quality of life, and 42% were seeking a lower burden of taxes and social contributions. Seventy percent said Germany’s tax burden was too high relative to income and that personal commitment at work did not pay sufficiently.
This is precisely what happens when government destroys the connection between effort and reward. A person working full-time at Germany’s 2026 minimum wage of €13.90 per hour earns approximately €2,409 gross per month. Depending on personal circumstances, that can leave around €1,700 to €1,800 after deductions. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that worker earning a living wage. The disgrace is what happens to the person who spends years obtaining an advanced degree and accepts greater responsibility.
A single employee earning approximately €70,000 gross annually may retain only around €3,500 per month. That income places the worker somewhere around the upper 15% to 20% of individual earners, depending on the population and measurement used. Yet the take-home pay is barely twice that of someone earning the statutory minimum.
The professional may have spent five or six years at university, accumulated debt, delayed starting a family, and accepted a job requiring specialized knowledge and long hours. The government then steps in and compresses the reward until the difference becomes almost meaningless. At some point, people begin asking why they made the sacrifice.
Official figures demonstrate just how low Germany’s salary ceiling has become. The median full-time employee earned €54,066 gross in 2025. The threshold for entering the top 10% was €100,719. Employees with academic qualifications earned a median of €5,916 gross per month in 2024, which might produce roughly €3,500 to €3,700 net for a single worker. Someone considered highly successful on paper may therefore live like an ordinary middle-class employee after taxes, housing, energy, transportation, and food.
Germany has created one of the heaviest tax wedges in the industrialized world. Euronews noted that an average single employee retains only €50.70 from every €100 spent by the employer on labor. The remainder disappears through income taxes and the social contributions paid by both employer and employee. The OECD placed Germany’s tax wedge for an average single worker at roughly 49.2% in 2025, compared with an OECD average of 35.1%.
This is not capitalism. Capitalism rewards productivity and permits individuals to accumulate capital. Germany has constructed a bureaucratic redistribution machine in which the state consumes nearly half the economic value of labor before the worker can save a single euro. Then the same politicians express surprise when skilled Germans cannot afford homes, delay having children, and begin looking abroad.
The United States remained the most frequently searched foreign destination in the survey, accounting for 14.4% of queries, although interest declined from the prior year. Britain and Switzerland each represented 13.6%. Searches involving the United Arab Emirates and India increased by 24%, while interest in Britain rose by 38%.
Switzerland offers higher compensation in numerous professional fields and generally lower taxation, although the burden varies by canton. The United Arab Emirates offers something European governments can barely comprehend: no general tax on personal employment income. The United States is not universally a low-tax country, since federal taxes apply and state burdens differ, but it still offers a deeper labor market and a far higher salary ceiling for technology, finance, medicine, engineering, and entrepreneurship.
Merely obtaining a remote job from an American, Swiss, or Dubai-based company will not solve the problem if the employee continues living in Germany. German tax residency normally means German taxation regardless of where the employer is located. To escape the system legally, the individual generally must establish genuine tax residency elsewhere. This is not simply remote work. It is the physical migration of productive people, their families, their spending, their knowledge, and eventually their capital.
