Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump's White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders. "Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday. Swalwell's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.

Swalwell really needs psychiatric help.

Hey, Eric! Do us a favor and pull it down biblically. Put your hands against the columns and push. You know. Like Samson did. Surely someone will mourn you - maybe.

I know a lot of us here call Swalwell and his ilk insane but they really are. Trump lives in their heads rent free. And since they appear to have no brains that's a lot of room for Trump to move around in. They are certifiable.

Smartass Swalwell needs a good solid flogging. No punishment other than the whip, or perhaps prison, would make any impression on this butthead. He who constantly speaks bovine scatology deserves the bullwhip. Make him holler loudly, like a feral pig that catches a broadhead arrow.

Herr Swalwell is still b-tt sore for being outed as a Chinese communist collaborator (does anyone believe someone with his obvious brilliance didn't have a clue about Christine Fang "Fang"?) Either he is monumentally stupid, or up to his neck in it. I understand Ms. Fang brought in both donors and interns to his and other offices? Sounds like he should have a lot more than architecture to worry about. DOJ, please make it so. How about right after Pres. Trump finishes the renovation, the (R) Congress should pass legislation making any further substantial modification to a National Monument or Nature Historic Treasure contingent on Congressional approval?

To my knowledge, not one former president is complaining. They all know the nightmare of State Dinners with guests in excess of 200. Ill bet all those foreign leaders enjoyed using porta-potties. That ball room is about a century overdue and only Trump was willing to wield the wrecking ball.

Before Ronald Reagan left office as the governor of California, a group of private donors raised enough money to build a governor’s mansion to replace the historic old home that had been found vulnerable in the event of an earthquake. The former mansion today is a tourist attraction. Reagan’s successor was young Jerry Brown, who had lived in the old mansion as a youth while his father was governor. As the new governor, Brown said he would prefer to sleep on the floor of a state apartment, and proceeded to do so. Showing disdain for the Reagan donors and their gift to the state, he ordered the new mansion sold. Thus began the spoiled brat wing of the Democratic Party, exemplified today by Eric Swalwell and his ilk.

Destroying the big beautiful ballroom would be a highly symbolic act proving the Democrats what to do anything to tear down this country. It would be so much better than a tent on the lawn for events for more than 200 guests. Swalwell needs to be placed in a padded room to protect himself when he has these TDS hair on fire tantrums.

After more than 50 years, Southwest Airlines' "bags fly free" policy is finally coming to an end. Southwest on Tuesday announced the first checked bag will cost $35, while a second checked bag will cost $45. The policy will begin tomorrow, when some passengers may be subject to a checked bag fee when booking a flight on the discount carrier. Weight and size limits for bags will apply. The new policy only applies to flights booked on May 28 or later, which means today is the last day to book if passengers want to avoid the new fee.

The United States will work with partners and stakeholders in Syria to help seize the opportunity that has presented itself after rebel fighters' stunning overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, President Joe Biden said on Sunday. "At long last, the Assad regime has fallen," said Biden, commenting on a fast-moving string of events in Syria that caught some in the White House off guard. Biden and his top national security aides took stock of a new-look Middle East that may be emerging after rebel forces ousted Assad in little more than a week.

An Ontario town has been fined $10,000 and its officials ordered to complete mandatory “human rights” training after it refused to celebrate Pride Month. Emo is a township of about 1,300 people located in the far west of Ontario, along the border with Minnesota. In a decision handed down last week, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ruled that Emo, its mayor and two of its councillors had violated the Ontario Human Rights Code by refusing to proclaim June as “Pride Month.” The town was also cited for failing to fly “an LGBTQ2 rainbow flag,” despite the fact that they don’t have an official flag pole.

The teenage boy accused of shooting two people dead on Halloween has refused to show up to court - but his mom took his place instead. Jaylen Dwayne Edgar, 17, who allegedly killed two men and injured eight other people in downtown Orlando, failed to show up to court Saturday morning. Instead, his mother made an emotional appearance on his behalf according to Fox 35 Orlando. She spoke only to confirm his identity. The suspect is expected to be charged as an adult due to the severity of the crimes he is accused of. The judge said he will remain in juvenile custody.

A college financial aid advisor allegedly strangled his girlfriend before setting fire to their upstate New York home while she and their newborn baby were inside, according to authorities and reports. Kidane Haile, 30, was indicted Thursday after a horrific scene unfolded at 8:35 a.m. on Oct. 18 when Buffalo firefighters responded to a blaze at an apartment on Norwood Avenue, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Inside the home, first responders found Haile’s girlfriend, 29-year-old Kathleen “Katie” Carrig, and their 4-day-old son, Noah, unresponsive. Both the mother and son were pronounced dead on the scene, prosecutors said. Haile strangled Carrig before setting the house ablaze, prosecutors alleged.

AT&T has quietly expanded its foreign workforce while securing a multimillion-dollar federal contract intended to bolster U.S. national security infrastructure. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded AT&T a 10-year, $146 million contract last year to maintain and expand emergency communications systems such as the Government Emergency Telecommunications Service and Wireless Priority Service, according to a September 2024 company press release. The award extends AT&T’s long-running partnership with DHS into next-generation 5G networks. At the same time, federal immigration data shows the telecom giant has continued to rely on foreign labor. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) H-1B Data Hub, 388 H-1B workers were approved

One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps. Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it. The longer the shutdown goes on, the more reports there are about this and it’s stunning to taxpayers

It is by now blindingly obvious to any rational observer of American politics that the Democratic Party is circling the drain. Depending on which poll you believe, its favorability rating among U.S. adults is somewhere between 23 percent (CNBC) and 34 percent (CBS). Nor is it difficult to divine what has led to this dismal state of affairs — the party has lurched so far to the left that most of its iconic leaders would be regarded as too conservative to win the Democratic presidential nomination.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates now says climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise,” despite having spent years fearmongering over rising global temperatures. Gates authored a surprising blog post on Monday advocating for climate activists to move away from the “doomsday outlook” they have spent years peddling. “Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,” wrote Gates, who has spent billions of dollars on climate-related initiatives. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”
