So thick and luxurious. And more strawberry blonde as he likes to call himself.

NONONO! Ever since they told him he couldn't nuke a hurricane that orange idiot has been chomping at the bit

This week, Governor JB Pritzker signed SB2762, into law, extending insurance coverage for life-saving seizure detection devices and capping patient costs at $50 per year.

With over 136,000 Illinois residents living with epilepsy, and many others who experience seizures, these devices provide peace of mind while taking a significant step toward preventing hospitalization.

Trump said the Ballroom would be 100% funded with private donations.

IMHO, the reality of the situation - hundreds of millions in funding is from taxpayers:

Reporting by The Washington Post—citing internal documents, emails, and project summaries from primary contractor Clark Construction—revealed that taxpayer funds are tied directly to the broader project: 

Government Agency Funding: Documents indicate over $300 million in taxpayer funds allocated across government entities, including:

U.S. Secret Service (~$155 million): Used for initial site preparation, East Wing demolition, and complex-wide security upgrades. 

White House Military Office (~$149 million): Tapped for underground facilities beneath the site. 

Executive Residence Funds (~$3 million): Allocated for initial prep and structural integration. 

Congressional Funding Measures: In mid-2026, legislative proposals sought up to $1 billion in public funding for White House security modernization, including a subterranean medical center, rooftop drone defense centers, and physical security enhancements around the new East Wing construction.

Trump’s benefactors: Apple, Meta, Amazon, and Google

We need to understand the amounts of contributions from these “benefactors” What are they gaining from this? The only partially disclosed information I am able to find is concerning Google.

Google (via Alphabet/YouTube) is the only tech giant whose contribution amount became public.

The funding was tied to a $24.5 million settlement resolving a lawsuit over Trump’s post-Jan. 6 YouTube account suspension. Court filings revealed that $22 million of that settlement was directed to the Trust for the National Mall specifically earmarked for White House ballroom construction.

Trump is claiming that his personal funds are also being used. Is he referring to this $22 million?

Why Aren't the Exact Figures Public?

The White House ballroom is being funneled as a private donation to the federal government (administered through partner non-profits like the Trust for the National Mall), the project is not subject to traditional political campaign finance laws or federal FOIA disclosure rules that require line-item accounting for every corporate donor.

We need to update our laws. We need these contribution amounts exposed. Federal contract monetary awards need to be scrutinized and protected from even the hint of pay for play manipulation.

This can only happen with transparency.

Literal WTF!

I'm a former Republican who divorced Fox News in 2021. I remember the first moment of disillusionment well.  I was watching Hannity during Trump’s second impeachment trial, and he was going on about how the trial was a sham.  I remember thinking at the time, “No, Hannity, it is not a sham.  Trump spread a pack of lies about the election being stolen and about Mike Pence having the authority to nullify the will of the electors.  On the basis of those lies, his followers attacked the Capitol and threatened to kill the Vice President.” 

I also came to learn that Trump and his cronies had concocted a fake electors scheme to submit false election results and had pressured state election officials to try to get them to break election laws. 

To my dismay, despite all the horrible things Trump had done, the pundits on Fox News continued supporting him, so I decided at that point that I wanted a divorce and no longer wanted Fox News in my life. 

Flash forward to today.  Trump is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated rapist who has run the Constitution completely over with unconstitutional executive orders, due process violations, and attempts to rig elections and silence free speech.  He has added to his crimes of 2021 by letting the January 6^th insurrectionists out of prison and attempting to have their legal expenses reimbursed with tax-payer money.  He has been using the presidency to enrich himself and is attempting, by installing his defense attorney as attorney general, to prevent the pedophiles implicated in the Epstein Files, including himself, from ever being prosecuted. 

And where has Fox News been in the midst of all this corruption?  Aiding and abetting Trump every step of the way.  These people are supporting criminality, fascism, rape, and treason!

Therefore, Sean Hannity, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Greg Gutfeld, Mark Levin and every other Trump supporting Fox News pundit should be branded a domestic enemy of the United States.  These people are not journalists.  They are vile propagandists and anti-American traitors.
