Comments: "As a 71 year old guy watching from Scotland UK, I find the ignorance and willing acceptance of misinformation by young people in America very shocking indeed. I am old enough to know the history and truth of the Middle east problem, I understand it all in great detail. Young people today think its cool to put on a Palestine scarf and to allow themselves to join just any old demonstration without knowing the true facts, if you young people refuse to really learn history, then you will support Hamas like the fools you are!"

The Reflecting Pool : The Insane Obsession With Sabotaging the D.C. Reflecting Pool Results in an Arrest
UPDATE: The Insane Obsession With Sabotaging the D.C. Reflecting Pool Results in an Arrest
. . . "Deranged lefts are literally VANDALIZING the pool just to “get Trump” INSANE to think this is where we are as a country." Nick Sortor
Media Reveals How Twisted They Are With Latest Story About Reflecting Pool
"This obviously senior man has the nerve to be surprised that they arrested him. One commenter alleged he is riding a $15,000 dollar bike. At this man's age and station in life, to be able to afford such an expensive cycling instrument, he really should have known better.
"Mess Around, Meet Reality. If this man and others actually got out of D.C. and into nature, connected with loved ones, and found a healthy obsession like bird watching, they would be better off. Trump living rent-free in your head and affecting your actions is no way to live a life. " . . .
Media Reflecting Pool Nonsense Gets Punctured by Panelist's Reminder on What Obama Did . . . ""I know when President Obama invested, he invested, he did it with science in mind, so there was not an algae takeover," Cross said. She said it was "treated."
"Except there was an algae takeover, as Jennings then pointed out in the post above. He shared a news report from 2012, showing the significant algae bloom there less than a month later, shortly after the Obama administration's work was done.
"But, I guess under Obama, spending is "investment." And so much for "science." As Jennings pointed out, Obama didn't figure out a cure for algae. Jennings had an amusing comment on that." . . .
"So, we continue to assert that, no matter how boggy it is, the Reflecting Pool reflects TDS with perfect clarity."
"A reader chastised us for an editorial we’d written a couple of weeks ago about the left’s unhinged reaction to the Reflecting Pool work that President Donald Trump had authorized.
“This article aged like milk,” the reader commented. “Paint is already peeling off and floating to the top. The real question is who got the $14MM and why was it a no-bid contract? Those are illegal.”
"Let’s back up a bit. Before the work on the Reflecting Pool was finished — part of Trump’s effort to clean up the city’s monuments before the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration — critics were pulling their hair out, saying that it would ruin the aesthetic by making it look like a swimming pool.
“'Was the freakout worth it?” we asked. (See: “Now We Know: The Reflecting Pool Reflects TDS.)
"In the days since that editorial ran, problems have emerged with the renovated pool, including the reemergence of algae and the (supposed) peeling of the blue-tinted material applied to the bottom that was meant to seal leaks.
So, has the editorial “aged like milk”? Not if you read it. The point is as valid today as it was then. The freakout was entirely unfounded.
At the time, we had no reason to believe that the work had been done in a shoddy manner. (We’re still not entirely sure that the “peeling paint” story is even true, given the untrustworthiness of the hysterically anti-Trump mainstream reporting these days and the willingness of Trump haters to sabotage things.)" . . .

Biden Dazed and Confused at the Obama Presidential Center
Looking visibly confused, Biden removes his Ray-Bans and squints into the crowd. . . . in a weak, faltering voice, asks, “Where’s my granddaughter?”
Setting aside the human decency angle, putting the visibly ailing former president on public display is politically self-destructive. Every appearance serves as a reminder of what many Americans view as one of the biggest scandals in modern political history: the effort to convince the public that Biden was fit to serve as commander in chief and, worse, that he was capable of serving a second term.
"Former President Joe Biden traveled to Chicago for the debut of former President Barack Obama’s Presidential Center on Thursday. Two years past the disastrous debate, which ended his bid for reelection, he appeared frail and disoriented.
In the clip below, Obama is seen leaving the stage at the end of the dedication ceremony. Jill Biden, having left her husband standing alone beside the podium, exits right behind him. Looking visibly confused, Biden removes his Ray-Bans and squints into the crowd. He then raises a hand as if recognizing someone and, in a weak, faltering voice, asks, “Where’s my granddaughter?”
With his hands held in T-Rex pose, he then shuffles toward the exit.
Bizarre moment as Biden is left behind on stage at the Obama Center opening, asking for his granddaughter.

It was a sad scene. But it was also a frightening one. This is the man Democrats wanted Americans to believe was fit for four more years in the Oval Office. Had fate not intervened — and had Jill Biden and those around him succeeded in their efforts — this visibly frail and diminished man could now be a year and a half into a second term as president of the United States." . . .

Dems Destroy Reflecting Pool In Protest Of Trump
" @uhyeah9243: We used to build pools. That does not happen in 1 week. I smell Dems."
“CNN’s idea of journalism: write a sensational headline, let people rage-share it, then admit 3 paragraphs later it’s just residual algae from dormant supply lines and a normal startup process.”
. . . "Leave it to CNN’s intrepid reporters to spare no effort in pursuit of answers. What they ultimately uncovered, however, was not a major scandal or systemic failure, but a routine algae bloom — the sort of maintenance issue familiar to countless pool owners. Yet because the issue occurred in a high-profile Trump administration project, it was treated as though it were a matter of national consequence.
The result was an investigation that seemed wildly disproportionate to the subject matter. Rather than exposing wrongdoing or uncovering a significant public-interest story, the network devoted substantial journalistic resources to explaining why algae appeared in a recently refilled pool. The exercise ultimately said more about CNN’s editorial priorities than it did about the reflecting pool itself.
Which raises an obvious question: If the network can marshal this level of effort and manpower to investigate a routine algae problem, why doesn’t it devote the same energy to uncovering the fraud, waste, and corruption that affect millions of Americans and cost taxpayers billions of dollars each year?" . . .
President Trump Has Major Update On Cause Of Reflecting Pool Damage: ‘Radical Left Lunatics’ l . . . “Just like three days ago, they destroyed the grass outside of the Pool, they’ve also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed,” Trump wrote in the post. “No different than the chemicals that were used on the National Mall, they used something similar in the Reflecting Pool to try to destroy and demean our beautiful work.”
Trump said law enforcement is “actively investigating” the vandalism.
This renovation project is part of the president’s beautification efforts in Washington, D.C. — an initiative headed by the Interior Department (DOI).
“We’ve cleaned, renovated, and beautified over 45 Monuments and Memorials, 28 Statues, and 22 Fountains in Washington, D.C.,” Trump wrote in the post, adding that “things are looking really good” in the capital city since his initiative began. " . . .
NH’s ‘Trailblazing’ First Transgender Lawmaker Sentenced to 33 Years for Child Sex Crimes
Laughton “pleaded guilty to goading [his] former partner into taking sexually explicit photos of children” and spoke “extensively” in text messages in the spring of 2023 about “potential or fantasized sexual contact with kids.”
"Once hailed as a “pioneer,” former New Hampshire state representative Stacie Marie Laughton, 41, of Nashua, a biological male who identifies as a woman, was sentenced to 33 years in prison on Thursday for the sexual exploitation of children at a Massachusetts daycare.
"But this story did not begin with the daycare investigation. Laughton’s criminal record and political career reveal a pattern of misconduct that was repeatedly ignored as liberal activists and media figures rushed to embrace the nation’s first openly transgender elected official.
"His first electoral victory came in 2012, when he won a seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. The win was widely celebrated as historic: he was not only New Hampshire’s first openly transgender lawmaker, but also the first openly transgender person elected to any state legislature in the United States.
"However, within days of Laughton’s victory, reports of prior felony fraud convictions emerged, and he resigned as representative-elect. At the time, New Hampshire Public Radio reported:
The decision was prompted by a state law forbidding felons from holding public office until the felon is discharged.
In 2008, Laughton was sentenced for conspiring to commit credit card fraud, and falsifying evidence. After four months, [his] sentence was suspended pending ten years of good behavior, the Laconia Daily Sun reports.

With Comedic Flair, Seinfeld Reduces The Palestine Conflict To Nothing
The protest culture is wearing thin. The outrage culture is getting old. The cancel culture is just wrong, and people are refusing to bow to it.
Arthur Schaper - American Thinker
"People don’t want flabby political commentary or a social science lecture about how they should feel about the state of the world and its politics and the wars and what they should do about it."
"Jerry Seinfeld has been dragged into the Arab-Israeli conflict. He’s been at war with the pro-Palestine progressive left ever since the October 7th atrocities, which gave antisemites the right to crawl out of the cracks and bash Israel and Jews, all while hiding behind: “It’s the IDF’s actions that we are protesting!”
"Of course, Islamic groups and progressive leftists have been hoisting Nazi flags and targeting synagogues and Jewish hospitals. And now they are coming for the comedians, at least the ones who won’t pick sides and promote the meaner ones so that they don’t get cancelled.
"Do the left-wing activists target Jerry Seinfeld because he’s Jewish? Of course.
"They also target him because people listen to him, and they want him to say what they want said:
" 'Palestine must be free. Free Palestine!”
"Comedians, to be successful, don’t tell people what they want to hear.
"They tell people what they themselves are thinking, and what others don’t want to say.
"Comedians are supposed to be the most anti-PC members of society. They push the boundaries; they rant and rave about the fact that everyone is ranting and raving.
"Comedians stand out because they stand up for, well, the right to say whatever they want about something." . . . More...

First peek inside Trump's swish new $400m Air Force One: That new-plane smell and a lot of gold
 |
| Uncle Paul's Parodies |
UK Daily Mail " President Donald Trump unveiled his swanky new $400 million Air Force One on Friday, with reporters granted their first look inside the controversial aircraft.
The former Qatari royal jet, transformed for presidential use in less than a year, is awash with leather, polished wood and gold-colored accents, while offering a far roomier press cabin than the aging aircraft it is set to replace.
Trump proudly showed off the jumbo jet at Joint Base Andrews declaring: 'There will never be one like this. This is considered the world's most luxurious plane.'
A new Boeing 747-8 is valued at about $400 million and the secretary of the Air Force said last year that the cost of retrofitting the gifted plane would be 'probably less than $400 million'.
From plush tan carpets and oversized leather chairs to expansive conference rooms and touches of gold throughout the cabin, the jumbo jet bears all the hallmarks of the luxury aesthetic that has long defined Trump's personal brand.
The jet projects exactly the image Trump wants the presidency to project: wealth, power, prestige and American swagger at 40,000 feet.
During a brief tour of the plane, journalists found plush carpets, oversized leather seating, patriotic artwork, giant television screens and conference rooms that looked more suited to a Fortune 500 board meeting than a government airplane." . . .

Hawley demands answers from MLB over warning players who wrote Bible verses on Pride hats
MLB Pride Nights CANCELLED As Teams REFUSE To Participate
Major League Baseball (MLB) landed itself in hot water on Monday after issuing a "warning" to three San Francisco Giants pitchers who refused to bend the knee to "Pride Night," writing Bible verses on their rainbow-themed hats during the team's Friday game against the Chicago Cubs.
Hawley demands answers from MLB over warning players who wrote Bible verses on Pride hats . . . "Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker walked out onto the field on Friday with "Gen 9:12-16" etched on their caps in white lettering. The writing refers to Genesis 9:12-16. The passage is about God's covenant with Noah following the worldwide flood described in the first book of the Bible. It marks the first recorded instance of a rainbow, which is also an LGBT symbol.
"Hawley said the MLB "must answer for what appears to be a pattern of discrimination" against Christian players.
"When three players added a handful of characters citing the Book of Genesis to their caps, the league reached for its rulebook," the senator wrote in the letter. Earlier in that paragraph, he explained that the MLB didn't have a problem allowing Black Lives Matter messaging on the field in 2020.
"The sports organization cited its content-neutral policy in justifying its warnings to the three players.
"The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations," the MLB said in a previous statement.
"Hawley said the MLB's unfair treatment of Christians, compared to other protected groups, isn't unprecedented.
""Your organization's recent action follows an undercover investigation which revealed an admission from a Washington Nationals executive that a Catholic player on the team was not included in promotional materials for the team because of his faith," he wrote. "That executive has since been fired, but not before the anti-Christian bigotry was exposed.. . . "Besides Hawley, other Republicans have criticized the MLB over the latest incident of reported discrimination against Christians.
"Let me get this straight, [MLB] teams can host 'pride night' but players wearing bible verses is an issue?" Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) posted on X. "Last I checked, freedom of religion was still one of the founding principles of our nation and enshrined in our constitution. This decision should be reversed now."
"Vice President JD Vance also weighed in on the MLB's warnings to the Christian athletes, saying that "we don't have to do this anymore" under President Donald Trump.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon issued a warning of her own to the MLB, threatening possible litigation.
""The [U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission] and state labor laws govern private employer disputes such as these," Dhillon said. "Time to lawyer up!"
"In a social media post earlier Tuesday, Hawley excoriated the league.
"'Warned' them? For what? Quoting the Bible? That’s now an employment offense?" he asked. "You’ve got to be kidding me. God bless these players. MLB has some explaining to do." . . .
DOJ probing upset Washington Nationals targeted pitcher 
“Americans of faith should not face professional repercussions for objecting to the mockery of their sacred traditions,” she wrote. “MLB’s privileged legal position should not become a license for exclusionary practices.”
Elder abuse, anyone? Jill Biden and other presidential couples exit stage at Obama extravaganza, leaving Joe behind
Monica Showalter - American Thinker
Which raises questions: Is Joe being properly cared for and attended by his wife, or by full-time staff which he could easily afford? Or is he being allowed to wander around dazed and confused, wondering if he was president, taking off his pants, and otherwise not all there
 |
| Would-be second-term President Biden left searching for family |
"So the Obama Presidential Center, a brutalist monolith towering over Chicago like a giant trash can, opened its lid.
"All the usual characters were there, celebrating Obama -- Bono, Oprah, Springsteen, Tom Hanks, Stephen Colbert, John Legend, the exact tired celebs you might expect too see there, along with previous presidential couples -- George and Laura Bush of course; the Clintoons, Hillary dressed like a bag lady; Joe and Jill Biden, and most surprisingly; Michelle Obama, who usually skips such events. And Barack, who gave us the benefit of his 'wisdom': "
. . . "This analysis of the entire project is spot on.
"But the sad part was in the conclusion of the game-show-style presidential couples lineup:
They all filed off, festively, leaving Joe behind, alone.
"Then Joe moved up to the podium, as though he thought he were still president, called for his granddaughter, adjusted his 'Joe Cool' aviator sunglasses worn indoors, taking them off ... and revealed his confusion." . . .
. . . "They didn't know this could happen if they walked off and left him alone up there? After all these years and all these embarrassing events during his presidency, they didn't think Joe would be worse for wear after a couple of additional years?
"Jill Biden, who's supposedly his caretaker and who would supposedly know Joe better than anyone, never anticipated this sort of embarrassing thing happening? Why did she walk off without him, leaving him behind to wander and muddle around, his insentience obvious to all who saw the video. Worse still, why didn't anyone else step in for her -- Obama, the Bushes, Hillary -- and get him off the stage if Jill wouldn't. This would likely happen, by the way, if ordinary people were dealing with this issue." . . .More...
Grand opening of another Democrat monument
"The [controversial] Obama presidential center and library are now open, but some workers are saying they haven't been paid…"
From USA Today, of all papers! Obama Presidential Center is a disaster, like his presidency | Opinion
"Nearby residents say construction drove rents up 43% and pushed home prices higher. The Obama Foundation, which had hoped to establish a $470 million endowment, currently holds only about $1 million in endowment funding."
. . . "If the Obamas' accomplishments were truly memorable, they wouldn't need a hideous $850 million building, one that stiffed contractors and billed taxpayers, to prove it. The Presidential Center is the perfect monument to Obama's presidency itself: a grand gesture, lavishly executed, that promised transformation and delivered disappointment." . . .
As Obama Gives His Most Unethical Quote Yet . . . "His case, which requires ignoring history and documentation, is the old leftist lie that they should have banned slavery and foreseen the women’s movement. So days before the United States marks its 250th anniversary, an ex-President, whose contribution to the United States, its politics and culture, were overwhelmingly negative, has the hindsight chutzpah to insult men who were wiser, smarter, and braver than he." . . .
"The woke policies that Obama ushered in as president were on full display at his foundation’s grand opening… along with some revisionist history. "The day started with a performative land acknowledgement… If you really believe it’s “stolen land,” why build a massive monument on it instead of giving it back? "And it ended with the media celebrating him as a unifier. "This is the same president who: • Forced nuns to provide contraception under Obamacare • Oversaw the IRS targeting conservative groups • Pressured Christian businesses to fund employees’ abortions • Went on multiple apology tours abroad • Mocked everyday Americans as “bitter clingers” to guns and religion "Obama helped turn the Democratic Party into one that’s no longer proud to be American and sowed division in the entire nation." . . .
Five Quick Things: Drones From Dreamers?
"Featuring amateur jihadists, professional dependents, French bureaucrats, billionaire tax enthusiasts, and whatever is growing in the Reflecting Pool."
The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Bill Melugin: "DHS confirms that an alleged ringleader of the UFC/White House terror plot is a Mexican illegal alien who was granted DACA by the Obama administration. DHS says Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez overstayed a B-2 visitor visa and received DACA in 2014. The FBI assessed that Alvarez was responsible for planning, organizing, and directing the planned attack. Alvarez detailed the plot in an encrypted group chat, including the planned use of “counter sniper(s) and drones,” with the explicit intention of being “as deadly as we can get.”
"I’m all out of ado and folderol this week. Let’s just get to it.
"1. The UFC Terror Plot Was Apparently Spearheaded by an Illegal Mexican Obama Let Stay in the Country
"The FBI busted it up before it could come to fruition, and it doesn’t really feel like there was much fruition in the cards for this plot in the first place, but it turns out there was a cabal of angry losers who thought they’d rig up some drones to smack some high explosives into buildings near the White House while last weekend’s UFC fight spectacle was going on on the South Lawn, and when the explosions triggered a stampede they’d pick off a bunch of high-value targets with sniper rifles.
As they say near the border, that’s some beeeeeeg talk. And apparently it was being had in a group chat, which may not quite be the top medium for operational security.
Especially when the mother of one of these mental defectives got hold of the chat and ratted out her brat to the feds.
Initially, we were led to believe these were the “right-wing terrorists” we’d been waiting on ever since 2008. Except this happened…" . . . More...

He had been living in the country illegally after overstaying his visitor visa. "
