The People's House

I’ve about had enough of these liberal idiots screaming about Trump tearing down the useless East Wing of the White House to construct the big beautiful ballroom. Somehow, they are suddenly concerned about tearing down history when, in fact, the White House has been modified, added to, and gutted numerous times by previous presidents. Get a grip already. FACT: The East Wing has been a largely unused set of offices for the First Lady, correspondence staff, the social secretary, a calligraphy and graphics office, and a theater. It sits on top of a bunker that is to remain intact. FACT: The White House does not have a satisfactory function room to host large gatherings, which is why tents are often erected to provide the space for formal affairs. In case you hadn’t noticed, Washington is built on a swamp and tends to get hot and sticky in the summer months, making tents impractical and, frankly, not befitting formal gatherings for heads of state.  FACT: Trump is using his own money and donations for the project with no expenses passed on to the taxpayers. FACT: The argument that it is the “people’s house” is beyond preposterous. If it’s your house, try stopping by unannounced and see how that goes. The last time some folks entered another one of the people’s houses, that being the Capitol building, they were hunted down and jailed. Ashli Babbitt, a military veteran who was unarmed, was shot dead by Capitol police for climbing through a window. Apparently, they’re not your houses at all; you just pay for them. FACT: Nobody on the left seemed to care when historic monuments, including statues of Columbus, Jefferson Davis, Thomas Jefferson, assorted Confederate Generals, Teddy Roosevelt, and the Howitzer Memorial, to name a few, were torn down or defaced in the left’s last display of woke insanity during the “mostly peaceful” summer of love. Not a word. Suddenly, the East Wing of the White House is now a priceless historic artifact whose destruction to make way for something suitably functional causes outrage on the left. Al Green keeps telling us that it’s a disgusting example of the enslavement of human beings. I suppose when they have nothing else to rally around, we get this nonsense. I’m running out of recommendations. Grow up? Get a life? Suck it up? Get a grip. Go ahead, choose one.
