The Eisenhower Presidential Library’s director has exited his position after advocating against giving a sword from the collection to King Charles as a gift during Donald Trump’s recent state visit, according to US media reports on Thursday.
Todd Arrington left his post on Monday after being told to “resign or be fired”, he told CBS News, which did not specify who had relayed the message to the historian.
The library and museum – located in former US president Dwight D Eisenhower’s home town in Abilene, Kansas – is part of the National Archives and Records Administration (Nara).
Nah man I know you paint with a broad brush but like…I actually don’t give a shit about being born a colonist or a descendant of a colonist or whatever.
I was just curious as to why you keep saying commonwealth.
You likely are a cryptofascist though. Yes, you’re like a slippery eel with weirdo statements online, but that’s only because you’re some type of nationalist. I honestly don’t find that part the least bit interesting, I’m more interested in how cranks latch onto some choice words or elements of grammar for some reason.
Because the British Commonwealth is a political entity still existing.
No, my country thankfully hasn’t been a colony, it was one of the empires.
I should be less adequate than you due to having temperature and really not loving descendants of colonists, I think USA and Australia and such exist by mistake, and are examples of illegal squatting on atrocious scale.
But it really seems I’m not, which for the love of it elements of grammar, which choice words? I don’t know what you are talking about.
BTW, using the word “nativist” to describe my position doesn’t really cover anything for a person not from colonies. In Europe it’s more of a self-incriminating defense.
I think I was pretty clear that I was talking about “commonwealth”. I consider it–at this point–asked and answered.
What your worldview is missing is likely multifaceted and perhaps requires a more thoughtful post (one that I have neither the time nor desire to write).
Summarily, I do not think being born anywhere is some type of sin.
Ultimately, humans are not “native” to any one particular region of the world. We are weird little monkeys with a knack for migration.
“Commonwealth” addresses part of the subject, so it’s a word that should be used in such a conversation. You haven’t clarified why do you have a problem with it.
States created by colonists should then not impede all the millions of Afghanis who want to move there.
Also “ultimately” doesn’t matter, “ultimately” everyone dies, and a bit less “ultimately” saying someone a rude word before they, say, have an anxiety attack and make a mistake that kills them, is contribution but isn’t called a murder, but when you hit someone with an axe till they die, it is. One may generalize these into the same thing. Or one may not.
The point is that your ancestors stole entire continents from their inhabitants a few hundred years ago, and this is different from what happened a few thousand years ago, and from what happened a few hundred thousand years ago.
Also you are not as smart as you think, for crying out loud. You haven’t done anything with what you came into the thread to argue about. You are a clown.
Not really, you’re just a weirdo that’s obsessed with the word. I was hoping to find out why. I got my answer. It’s summarily just something you’ve latched onto. 🥱
I have noticed that most people (that aren’t from the 1800s) that continually use the word “one” like this tend to be intolerable flatulents. I think you match this observation.
My point is that you do not choose your ancestors.
You have no idea what I think nor why I even bothered replying.

Clowns intend to entertain. Maybe they succeed, maybe they don’t. Calling me a clown isn’t necessarily an insult (as intended) depending upon my motivations, which you’re clueless about because you’re too caught up in the smell of your own farts to ponder what they are.
