Christopher Columbus is back, and he has finally dried off. The President has installed a replica of the statue rioters dumped into a Baltimore harbor. It is the ultimate historical home makeover for the White House grounds.

While critics scream about history, the administration is focusing on the aesthetic. The statue looks pristine on the north side of the campus. It is a bold statement in bronze.

Protesters once called the explorer a villain. The White House now calls him the original American hero. It is a spectacular middle finger to the cancel culture movement.

Pieces of the original statue were retrieved from the water to make this work. It is a story of literal and cultural restoration. The grounds have never looked more controversial or more classic.

History is not being erased today. It is being polished. And the view from the Eisenhower building is much better for it.
