White House Lists Smithsonian Exhibits It Finds Objectionable
The White House published a list of Smithsonian exhibits, programming and artwork it considered objectionable on Thursday, one week after announcing that eight of the institution's museums must submit their current wall text and future exhibition plans for a comprehensive review. The list borrows heavily from a recent article in The Federalist that objected to portrayals at several museums. It argued that the Museum of American History promoted homosexuality by hanging a pride flag; overemphasized Benjamin Franklin's relationship to slavery in its programming; and promoted open borders by depicting migrants watching fireworks 'through an opening in the U.S.-Mexico border wall.' Other grievances were previously enumerated in an executive order that President Trump authorized in March, which criticized the National Museum of African American History and Culture for a 2020 worksheet that describes aspects of 'whiteness' as 'hard work,' 'individualism" and 'the nuclear family.' The worksheet was part of an online educational portal called Talking About Race; once it drew criticism, Lonnie G. Bunch III, the secretary of the Smithsonian, had it removed. The White House list also featured complaints that were not part of the Federalist article or the president's executive order. Those include a stop-motion animation at the National Portrait Gallery about Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, a government leader during the coronavirus pandemic, and a series at the African American museum that it says 'featured content from hardcore woke activist Ibram X. Kendi.' The Smithsonian Institution and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 'This is an unprecedented pressure campaign and the granularity here is shocking,' said Samuel J. Redman, a history professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst who has written extensively on the Smithsonian's history. 'This list, even from a cursory look, is cherry-picking various examples from an enormous and diverse museum.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Oil prices set to snap two-week losing streak as peace in Ukraine remains elusive
(Reuters) -Oil prices were little changed on Friday but were on track to snap a two-week losing streak as hope for immediate peace between Russia and Ukraine dimmed, increasing the risk premium demanded by oil sellers. Brent crude futures were down 4 cents to $67.63 a barrel at 0052 GMT, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures fell 1 cent to $63.51. Both contracts climbed more than 1% in the prior session. Brent has risen 2.7% this week, while the WTI has gained 1.1%. Traders are pricing in more risk as hope that U.S. President Donald Trump can quickly broker a deal to end the war, which propelled a sell-off in oil over the last two weeks, fades. The three-and-a-half-year war continued unabated on Thursday as Russia launched an air attack near Ukraine's border with the European Union and Ukraine said it hit a Russian oil refinery. Meanwhile, U.S. and European planners said they have developed military options by allied national security advisers. That followed the first in-person talks at the weekend between the U.S. and Russian leaders since Russia invaded Ukraine, which have so far yielded little progress toward peace. Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded Ukraine give up all of the eastern Donbas region, renounce NATO ambitions and keep Western troops out of the country, sources told Reuters. Trump pledged to protect Ukraine under any war-ending deal. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismissed the idea of withdrawing from internationally recognised Ukrainian land. Oil prices were also supported by a larger-than-expected drawdown from U.S. crude stockpiles in the last week, indicating strong demand. Stockpiles fell 6 million barrels in the week ended August 15, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said on Wednesday. Analysts had expected 1.8 million barrels. [EIA/S] Investors were also looking to the Jackson Hole economic conference in Wyoming for signals of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next month. The annual gathering of central bankers begins on Thursday, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell speaking on Friday. Lower interest rates can stimulate economic growth and increase oil demand, potentially boosting prices.
