"Of all the things that Democrats have tried to tar President Donald Trump with, none is as petty, stupid and inconsequential as the current flap over remodeling the East Wing of the White House"
. . . "Democrats’ ginned-up outrage (we could list literally dozens of caustic quotations and even threats from a congressional leader and a former Biden speechwriter about Trump’s project) shows their desperation, as their federal government shutdown didn’t turn out to be the political boon they thought.
"Meanwhile, Democrat do-nothings look awfully pathetic, screaming from the sidelines like children about a remodeling job as Trump addresses serious global problems the nation faces, one by one:
- Illegal immigration slashed by closing the border and deporting criminals.
- Ending or temporarily halting eight armed conflicts around the world during the first eight months in office, including those between Israel and Iran; Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Armenia and Azerbaijan; Thailand and Cambodia; India and Pakistan (nuclear powers); Egypt and Ethiopia; Serbia and Kosovo and, most recently, Israel and Hamas.
- Addressing the threat of narco-terrorists by direct military action on the open seas, and by hardline diplomacy with cartel-backed socialist governments in Colombia and Venezuela.
- Fending off continuing geopolitical challenges from Russia and China, as each tries to disrupt , occupy and bully neighboring nations.
- Shrinking the budget deficit, something none thought would be possible but, with more revenue from tariffs and cost-cutting by government, is now a reality.
- And keeping tax cuts in place through Republican passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will save taxpayers literally trillions of dollars in the coming years, according to the Tax Foundation.
"How’s that for two-thirds of a year? None of this, of course, will stop desperate Dems from throwing rhetorical rocks at Trump’s new ballroom. But those who throw rocks, as our pre-woke mothers wisely warned us, shouldn’t live in glass houses." . . . More...
Anger over the White House ballroom is purely performative
. . . "So, here’s a little background. The East Wing of the White House was nothing fancy. It was hastily built in 1942, when D.C. was inundated with people working on WWII-related matters. (If you’d like to see a charming 1943 romantic comedy about the housing shortage this flood of people caused, I highly recommend The More The Merrier.) In other words, the East Wing was not a historically significant architectural gem. It was a hastily created office space." . . .
