Democrats & PravdaMedia Demand Arts Garbage
-
The Democrats and PravdaMedia are furious that Trump is cleaning-up the Kennedy Center physically and morally (and Not at Taxpayer expense!).
As an example, they were happy with Andres Serrano who collected $15,000 of taxpayer-funded money from the National Endowment for the Arts for his exhibit of photographs of Jesus submerged in a container of urine.

(it’s of note they didn’t do that with Mohammed!)

Out from our national performing arts center with the “Jesus in a bottle of urine” and other anti-American, anti-Religious and anti-social and political-left-wing garbage and in with content consistent with American social norms and family-values and high aspirations for a better America.

Also to left-wing chagrin, the White House Ballroom replacement and upgrade and modernization is moving forward.

Trump Mini-SOTU & Good Economic News
-
Trump gave a 30-minute Mini-Economic-SOTU Wed night 12-17
https://www.whitehouse.gov/videos/president-trump-delivers-an-address-to-the-nation/
during witch he summarized the Obama-economic-state he inherited 11-months ago vs the improvements he has initiated and the optimistic future that will result from his policies.
-
The federal BLS announced today the very positive and encouraging news that the CPI-Consumer Price Index is 2.7. Vs. Projected 3.1, showing overall inflation rose 2.7% year-over-year, below 3.1 expectations.
-
US stocks rebounded on Thursday as investors digested easing inflation pressures from the latest reading on consumer prices that could help set expectations for the path of interest rates.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/stock-market-today-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-jump-after-cooler-cpi-inflation-reading-as-ai-trade-reignites-210127820.html
-
-
Contrary to the Liberal and LeftWing pundits, Trump is very much in-charge of the agenda and government initiatives and there is high probability that the economy will be a positive story before the 2026 elections.
It’s sad that the Democrat Party’s best story is to bad-mouth the US economy and hype despair and sow division!

White House Chief-of-staff Grossly-Naïve
-
Unlike The White House Chief-of-staff’s label as a highly professional presidential assistant, Susie Wiles has been exposed as a very naïve and foolish yenta who clearly is not a “professional”!
How could any top administrator, in Trump’s inner-circle, have an extensive interview with Trump’s hostile major media? What was she thinking!
It’s amazing how naïve people, in responsible positions, can be.

White House Chief of Staff Offers Candid Views in Vanity Fair Interview
In a two-part series, Susie Wiles called Elon Musk an ‘avowed ketamine [user]’ and said Vice President JD Vance has been ‘a conspiracy theorist for a decade’
https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/susie-wiles-vanity-fair-takeaways-44847fa2?mod=hp_lista_pos3
Susie Wiles, President Trump’s chief of staff, rarely speaks on the record, prefers to stay out of the spotlight and has been credited by the president’s allies with minimizing the drama at the White House and helping Trump quickly enact his agenda.
But in a series of 11 interviews for Vanity Fair over the past year with author Chris Whipple, she spoke candidly about how she wields power inside the White House and offered reflections on Trump’s policies and the staff she manages.

-
Vanity Hit’s two-part, dangerous fiction factory This isn't journalism
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/dec/17/vanity-hits-two-part-dangerous-fiction-factory/
Taken together, parts one and two of “Vanity Hit”’s Susie Wiles profile are not journalism. They are a case study in how legacy media manufactures menace — by stitching conjecture to caricature, insinuation to innuendo, and then calling the resulting collage an “exclusive.”
What Vanity Hit delivers across these two installments is not an investigation grounded in evidence, but a prolonged exercise in narrative escalation that is irresponsible, misleading and dangerous.

Rob Reiner: Trump Speaking Badly Of The Dead
-
“Hollywood director Rob Reiner's son Nick in custody following death of his parents
LAFD said the bodies of a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman were found inside the home”
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/hollywood-director-rob-reiner-wife-michele-found-dead
-
-
-
Trump slammed a big stick into a bipartisan hornet’s nest of rejection of his very negative remarks about Rob Reiner’s legacy after Rob’s demise at the apparent hands of his troubled son.
-
Reflections: Something about Hamlet
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
-
‘President Trump on Monday stood by his comments that Rob Reiner's death was the result of "Trump derangement syndrome," issuing a new round of sharp attacks on the late director.’
https://www.axios.com/2025/12/15/rob-reiner-trump-death-tds-charlie-kirk
‘Trump said he believed Reiner was "very bad for our country" and repeated his previous rhetoric describing the longtime liberal activist as a "deranged person."
-
-
-
Some relevant history between Reiner and Trump:
-
Actor Rob Reiner had blistering words for President Trump while speaking to a women's march in Los Angeles. Thoughts?

In a 2017 interview with Variety at the Dubai International Film Festival, Reiner called Trump “mentally unfit” to be president. He further described him as “the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States,” adding that Trump showed “no interest in trying to find out how government works,” according to Variety.

Democrat’s Claim AntiDrug-Strikes War Crimes
-
The Democrats are so antiTrump that instead of supporting the interdiction of Killer-Drugs, they claim Trump’s interdiction of Drug Boats is THE issue instead of the hundreds of thousands of young Americans who are dying from the fentanyl being brought into the US by these Death-Boats. Really!
-
“They killed 300,000 Americans last year, and that gives you legal authority."

In a notification to Congress in mid-September, the Trump administration said the U.S. is in a "non-international armed conflict" with drug cartels it has designated as terrorist organizations. The drugs smuggled by these cartels kill tens of thousands of Americans each year and constitute an "armed attack" against U.S. citizens, according to the White House.

On the other hand, these same Democrats are in big-time support of giving little boys castration drugs. Many of them then commit suicide when they mature.

Florida: No 2025 Hurricanes! – Where’s Gore?
-
Florida did not have a hurricane in the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which ended without any hurricane landfalls in the U.S.
-
Before this, the last time Florida went a full season without a hurricane was in 2015. The state's longest previous hurricane-drought was a five-season streak from 1980 to 1984.
-
-
Although CO2 continues to accumulate in the atmosphere, albeit it’s only
0.04%... or 420 ppm, parts per million, fortunately the Gore claims of Armageddon have Not come to pass.

The House Oversight Committee has opened a probe into Gov. Tim Walz's handling of a massive relief program in Minnesota that federal prosecutors say devolved into the largest COVID-19 fraud scheme in the country.
-
"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was warned about massive fraud in a pandemic food-aid program for children, yet he failed to act," Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.
"Instead, whistleblowers who raised concerns faced retaliation," Comer added.

"Because of Governor Walz’s negligence, criminals — including Somali terrorists — stole nearly $1 billion from the program while children suffered.
The House Oversight Committee will conduct a thorough investigation into Governor Walz’s failure to safeguard taxpayer dollars."

Afgan War OnGoing

As a youngster I saw WW2 Vets come home with massive injuries and mental and physical injury issues.
Many made regular visits to the VA Hospital in Albany to remove shrapnel from their bodies.
Many spent time in rehab for what was described as “shell shock”.
The same issues were relived for Korea and Vietnam and the Desert Storm Veterans.

After hundreds of pages, over multiple years, of Roanoke Times ‘Chicken Little Stories’ about the MVP pipeline construction, that added to the antiPipeLiine hysteria for years, and added major time and cost to the construction, it turns out that ‘the issues were primarily heifer-dust’ by hysterical elements egged-on by antiEnergy radicals.
