I looked it up and this graphic does not do justice for just how massive this proposed ballroom will be.

The White House is 55k sq ft across SIX floors. This ballroom will be 90k sq ft on a SINGLE floor.

The ballroom will have a footprint that is literally TEN TIMES LARGER than the White House.

Instead of a public retraction, the Wall Street Journal quietly adjusted its headline.

Neither Emma Tucker, the editor-in-chief, nor the two reporters who wrote the original piece responded to my requests for comment.

Apparently it stems from the child leaving the house unsupervised.

I can't say that I blame the kid for wanting to run away from that nest of cuckoos.

Totally unlike when President H.W. Bush put together a coalition or approximately 150 countries to free Kuwait from Saddam Hussein.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Let’s be clear: Congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight. If there’s nothing to hide, why are they hiding it?

But according to their twisted logic, if they can screw up the world bad enough, they can force God to come back and fix it.

If a human does something, they can FORCE God to do something. Rather interesting that they think that they can control the omnipotent that way.

The man who shot Democrats in Minn planned to kill ONLY Democrats, was a registered Republican, viewed "abortion as murder," had attended Trump rallies and voted for Trump. Corporate media should call him what he is: MAGA terrorist. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/there-were...

There were two MAGA terrorist attacks on Saturday—but corporate media refuses to call them that!

This makes us less safe!

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets.

Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾

MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”

ICE: “The whole country is our property.”

No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

For reference, even at the height of the Vietnam protests and the Civil Rights protests, U.S. troops weren't sent into American cities.
