Trump: Cost of new ballroom may reach $400M. The news, or rather the unfolding spectacle, of a potential $400 million price tag for a new ballroom at the White House is, to put it mildly, raising eyebrows. The figure is staggering, and as many are already predicting, that number is only going to climb. Some suggest it’s just the beginning, with projections soaring upwards, potentially even hitting the billion-dollar mark.
The scale of the project itself prompts questions. It’s not just a ballroom; there are whispers of a bunker being constructed beneath the structure, fueling speculation about its true purpose. The demolition of the East Wing, which seems to have happened at a rapid pace, with no concrete plans, has led many to believe that the focus is not on construction, but on something else entirely.… Continue reading
President Trump has recently been touting an inflated figure of $18 trillion, claiming it represents the revenue generated by tariffs, a figure that has been repeated across various public appearances. This number is not only factually incorrect but also logically impossible, as the federal government has collected significantly less in tariff revenue. The president seems to be conflating tariff revenue with private investment deals, further blurring the line between the government and the private sector, but even the White House’s own tracking shows a figure far less than the claimed $18 trillion. Ultimately, the origin of this figure remains unclear.

Newsom launches website tracking Trump’s top 10 criminal cronies, and it’s certainly generating a lot of buzz. The initiative itself, dedicated to keeping tabs on individuals associated with the former president who are facing legal challenges, is a bold move. It’s the kind of thing that can either be seen as a savvy political maneuver, or possibly a preemptive move setting the stage for 2028. Many are calling the effort “awesome” and praising Newsom’s ability to keep the pressure on. The launch of the website signals a clear intent to highlight what the governor sees as hypocrisy, especially from those who champion “law and order” while seemingly tolerating or even associating with individuals facing legal scrutiny.… Continue reading
