White House Ballroom Plans Win Key Approval
From Planning Commissioners
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 4/2/2026 4:53:43 PM
The White House ballroom has run into some legal setbacks, which are far from resolved. But now we can report that one other procedural hurdle has been surmounted; the National Capital Planning Commission has officially approved the plans for President Trump's White House project. The commission, which is led by Trump appointees, met last month to evaluate the plans and public comments, many of which were negative. Critics have blasted the project as "appalling," a "monstrosity" and "vulgar" in the public comments. Will Scharf, the Trump-appointed commission chair, said he personally read every comment submitted to the commission and many of the negative ones were "unresponsive"

A federal judge has revoked the naturalized American citizenship of a Chinese couple who initially arrived in the United States on H-1B visas, after they were convicted of stealing medical trade secrets for China.
This week, Judge James E. Simmons Jr. entered an order revoking the naturalized American citizenship of Li Chen and Yu Zhou, who each pleaded guilty in 2020 to one count of conspiracy to commit theft of trade secrets and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
“Gaining citizenship after committing serious crimes against the American people is an unacceptable abuse of our immigration system,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement.
On Monday, the design for Donald Trump's future presidential library was unveiled. It's a stunning tower near the water in Miami, and the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library Foundation plans to raise nearly $1 billion to fund the project through the end of 2027. Some of the funding has already come from the massive settlements he's collected from fake news media outlets that have defamed him.
Well, it looks like he may have just found another donor.
The Daily Beast published one of the most deliberately deceptive headlines I’ve ever seen. And Trump’s lawyers should be all over this.
The headline reads, “New Evidence Corroborates Claims of Trump Sex Accuser, 13."
On Monday night, Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, dropped a stunning new rendering of President Donald Trump’s future presidential library. And let’s just say: Subtle it is not.
The video, which he shared on X, shows a gleaming skyscraper rising over downtown Miami. It’s bold, beautiful, unmistakable, and very Trump. The building features his name in massive letters, evoking the signature style that defined his pre-presidential real estate empire. A spire at the top is light red, white, and blue, and an American flag hangs on the side.
It is a gorgeous building.
The Kansas Legislature has just handed the pro-life community in the state a huge victory by overriding Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto and signing into law a new bill that will protect pro-life pregnancy centers from state mandates (Snip) Before diving deeper into the story, I think it's critical to ask why radical leftists would want to limit available health care options for pregnant women, seemingly encouraging them to murder their pre-born children in the womb. Why is it a bad thing to have alternatives available for those who find themselves scared and pregnant but don't want to kill their baby? Something about that just feels pure evil.
There was a time not so long ago when the Democrats were formidable and — I'm not kidding here — occasionally enjoyable political foes. During the Tea Party years, we would often encounter Dem activists and hang out with them for a while. Sometimes we would even socialize. (Snip) Which is why they are up in arms about the building of a ballroom. This is from Sarah:
President Donald Trump has been having a great time building the new White House Ballroom in recent months, but anytime the president is having a good time doing something, a judge comes in and stops him.
It would seem pretty obvious that if you were going to threaten to assassinate the President of the United States, you probably shouldn't advertise your intent on Facebook. But that's just what a Great Barrington, Massachusetts man did, and now he's in the hoosegow, facing a list of federal charges.
Andrew D. Emerald, 45, was indicted by a federal grand jury on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications. Emerald was arrested this morning and will appear in federal court in Springfield, Mass., at 2:30 p.m. today.
According to the indictment, from May 2025 to July 2025, Emerald intentionally made eight separate Facebook posts
What is going on in Fairfax County, Virginia? This is the third murder allegedly committed by an illegal alien in recent weeks.
In early March, 41-year-old Stephanie Minter was knifed to death at a bus stop by an illegal from Sierra Leone, and earlier Wednesday, I reported on the Guatemalan “undocumented person” who stabbed a man to death on Sunday.
Now, a man described as a “Virginia Father” who allegedly caused the blunt-force trauma death of his three-month-old baby is also revealed to be an illegal alien from Guatemala. All this is happening as VA Gov. Abigail Spanberger has rescinded deals to cooperate with federal immigration authorities,
European authorities are no closer to catching the thieves who swiped 12 tons of KitKat bars after stealing the truck that was transporting them from a Nestlé factory in central Italy to Poland last week.
The shipment consisted of special-edition Formula One-themed KitKats shaped like race cars, as part of the company’s relationship with the motorsport league. The heist has raised plenty of eyebrows around the world, with people questioning how such a bizarre theft could have happened. But it has also prompted something else: Jokes on social media.
Ryanair appeared to confess to the theft with an image of one of its planes chowing down on gigantic KitKat bars.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has largely been disgraced following major Medicare fraud uncovered in his state, is still trying to stay relevant as he blasted the president’s decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to assist TSA at airports.
He went even further, spreading additional fear by speculating that the administration could deploy ICE agents to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
This is not normal. These guys aren't doing a damn thing," Walz said. "They weren't qualified to be here in Minnesota.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents aren't just saving our departure times at United Stats airports. They're also saving our children — and probably our backs and legs from having to stand in hours' long lines, but I digress.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a father was standing in line at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Wednesday, holding his one-year-old baby, when the child suffered a medical emergency and stopped breathing and became unresponsive. DHS says that CCTV video shows the baby going limp in his father's arms, while the father panics and calls for help.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has revealed that a brother and sister from China are indicted in connection with an improvised explosive device (IED) placed at the base that serves as headquarters for U.S. Central Command, which is currently executing the Iran operation.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted his announcement on X Thursday, March 26. “An IED was placed at MacDill Air Force Base - home to CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command,” Patel explained. “A brother and sister have now been indicted.” One of the suspects is in a foreign and hostile country, however, so he cannot be arrested at present.

Carville: Trump Will Be ‘Impeached in 2027’
24 replies
[WARNING: Adult Language]
Wednesday on the “Politicon” podcast Democratic strategist James Carville predicted President Donald Trump will get impeached in 2027.
Carville said, “You know who’s gonna turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators. There may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now the House is gonna vote to impeach you. You’re gonna be impeached in 2027. These senators can’t stand you. These Republican senators, they can’t stand you. They have to be there because of their politics, back in their states, but it’s gonna be apparent to them that you’re a loser. You’re a losing * bet. You’re going to see all this come around
Two years ago, career criminal Guy Rivera shot and killed NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller on a street in Queens while he was doing the job this city asked him to do.
He was 31 years old. A husband. A father. A police officer who understood what the work required of him and accepted it.
On that night, he stepped forward into danger with the same sense of purpose and nobility that defined his career. This week, a jury returned its verdict. And that not guilty verdict of murder in the first degree landed like a gut punch to the entire New York City Police Department.
It’s easy enough to dismiss Sen. Bernie Sanders’ endless lament that the rich don’t “pay their fair share of taxes,” but he should still be held to account when he flat-out lies about how much the rich do pay.
In an op-ed published by the Guardian, Sanders repeats a number of leftist tropes: income inequality has never been greater, the Trump tax cuts benefited the rich and big corporations, the middle class is getting screwed. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
But then he starts making some remarkable claims.
He says that Warren Buffett’s tax rate is 0.1%, “while the average
Former Vice President Kamala Harris warned that President Donald Trump must not be allowed to pick two “additional justices” for the Supreme Court, adding that Democrats “must be clear-eyed about what is at stake.”
In a post on X, Harris — who lost the 2024 Presidential election against Trump, shared an article from the New York Times about how a “liberal organization” was “preparing a multimillion–dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen.”
The New York Times reported that Josh Orton, who serves as “the president of Demand Justice,” predicted that “the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred”:
The Islamization of Catholic Charities
14 replies
The Catholic News Herald, “Connecting Catholics in North Carolina”, bragged that the refugee case coordinator for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, had been recently honored.
His name? Ashir Haji-Mohamed. The latter part of the name meant that he had made a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca.
Haji-Mohamed, a former Somali refugee, had previously been in the news for helping resettle Syrian Muslims, as well as Jordanians and Turks, in North Carolina. After the Biden retreat, Catholic Charities of Charlotte had also worked to bring Afghans to North Carolina.
The Islamic Center of Asheville doubled in size as Catholic Charities dispatched Afghans there, and then working with “a Catholic
The elephant in the room grows bigger after a look at the latest violent crime statistics: blacks are the greatest perpetrators, and the greatest victims, of criminal violence. First, let’s look at a new stat, from AFPost on X:
That means just 285 suspected shooters were white, while a whopping 18,715 were non-white. When we cross-reference that data with numbers from the city, we see more of the whole picture. The latest report from the NYPD is from 2024, with a few brief and relevant points below:
66.8% of the shooting victims and 64.5% of the shooting suspects are black, despite blacks actually being less of the population
The Gulf countries were trying to advance a resolution drafted by Bahrain in the United Nations Security Council that would allow the use of force to defend their shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The resolution: Now that would seem simple, and primarily defensive, to be able to protect yourself and get through But the effort was effectively stymied on Thursday by three countries. You could probably guess two of them - Russia and China. But the third was ridiculous: France. They opposed any authorization of military action or use of force, according to a diplomat and a senior U.N. official..
Duckworth demands TSA return to flight

passengers having to remove shoes at airport
gate checkpoints 12 replies
Illinois Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth sent a letter to the Transportation Security Administration on Friday demanding the agency rescind its "shoes-on" policy, according to a report.
In a letter obtained by CBS News, Duckworth called the policy a "reckless act" that may be placing flight passengers at risk.
Duckworth also warned that the policy was likely implemented "without meaningful consultation with TSA," citing an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general that found it created a new security vulnerability in airport screening systems.
The IG's classified report found that TSA scanners are unable to effectively screen shoes, raising concerns that threat items could evade detection. The report was allegedly buried
Iran shot down a United States fighter jet over central Iran in the first instance of a US aircraft being downed by enemy fire, a source with knowledge of the incident confirmed to The Jerusalem Post on Friday.
The source additionally confirmed that search and rescue operations are underway to locate the two US pilots present on the jet.
James Carville is not exactly known for measured political commentary, but his recent rant on the Politics War Room podcast took things to a whole new level. The famed Democratic strategist unleashed a profanity-laced tirade directed at Donald Trump, and buried inside all the bluster was something genuinely revealing: a detailed roadmap for how Democrats plan to weaponize the federal government against Trump and his family the moment they return to power.
"Listen to me, Trump, I'm gonna tell your fat * *something," he said. "You're getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you."
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is likely to hold a vote or vote on a resolution on the Strait of Hormuz as early as Friday, April 3.
"The proposed resolution will authorize member states to use "all necessary and appropriate means of defense in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, including in the territorial waters of coastal states within or bordering the Strait of Hormuz," said Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani on Thursday, quoted by Antara via Sputnik-RIA Novosti.
According to him, the effort is to secure transit routes and prevent attempts to close, block, or disrupt international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
One crew member has been rescued and the search continues for the second pilot after a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, according to reports.
The crew member was rescued by US forces, two US officials have told CBS News. Two sources tell CNN that the rescued pilot is alive and receiving medical attention.
Officials say one of the airmen of the F-15E Strike Eagle was ejected before the aircraft went down. U.S. officials are racing to recover the second pilot before Iranian forces can reach them. Israel is helping the United States
(snip) Iranian news anchor has urged residents to hand over any “enemy pilot”
