Trump administration files emergency motion to overturn a judge's ruling halting White House ballroom construction, citing security and safe
"U.S. District Judge Richard Leon’s order halting the project, which Leon ruled cannot proceed without congressional approval."
"The initial lawsuit against the construction was brought by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit organization, alleging Trump exceeded his authority when he razed the historic East Wing and launched construction on the new building."
Let's break this down.
First and foremost, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has no authority over any level of Government. It's a non-profit foundation that provides resources to sites that are Historic for preservation. They do not control any of the sites they supply funding and resources to. Resources include caretakers and financing for repairs and renovations. They do not own any of these sites: The specific level of government or private-citizenship own these sites.
Second, the Whitehouse is not any one of these sites receiving funding. This is because the Whitehouse belongs to the People of The United States. The sitting President of The United States is the caretaker and the sitting owner of the house. The President can do whatever the fuck they want to it.
Like Obama.
Obama razed the Whitehouse Rose Garden for a fucking basketball-tennis court. It had been planted by Elanor Roosevelt. It stood for all that time. Where was this National Trust for Historic Preservation then?
Third, the Constitution and Federal Law does not state anywhere that Congress must approve anything done to the Whitehouse. Zip. Nada. Nope, ain't there. There's no legal or historical precedent where any sitting President had to go before Congress and ask to make changes to the Whitehouse. No vote ever was placed by Congress to do anything to the Whitehouse.
Under Bill Clinton, the Whitehouse windows were sealed shut and replaced with bulletproof, soundproofed windows. The Regan administration soundproofed the walls. The bowling alley was installed by JFK. The rooftop of the Whitehouse was turned into a fortress under the first Bush administration.
Where, again, did any of this corrupt Judge's decision align with the requirement that Congress needed to approve any of it?
Funds for the Whitehouse. When the work requires budgetary changes, this is negotiated during the Federal Budget vote. That's all. Yet, guess what? This is paid for without US Tax Dollars being spent on it. Therefore, there's no funding required from the Federal Government's coffers, and no approval required. Even then, most major changes and renovations to the Whitehouse over the past hundred years has been part of a discretionary fund. When not used, it grows or maintains. It's there for making such changes -- but perhaps not as grand as this new ballroom and security implementation, but therein is the rub.
The Democrats want to usurp the power of the Presidency. By making this move, they're hoping to undermine the Executive Branch and would rather the work come from tax money. If it comes from taxes, they can increase taxes. If it is proven that the Government doesn't need your tax dollars to function, they lose the argument that taxes are required. If the rich donate money to Federal causes (like they used to back before the IRS), it undermines the narrative that the public needs tax dollar handouts to survive.
This isn't a small thing. This is the game-winning move.
If the Democrats successfully win this argument, which they won't because it's based entirely on hope and lies, the Executive Branch becomes subservient to the Legislative Branch and is effectively neutered -- leading to Democrats attempting to push the Constitutional changes required to legislatively abolish the Presidency into a puppet show.
That's bad for you. That's bad for everyone.
If the Democrats lose this argument, which they will because it's based entirely on hope and lies, the Executive Branch will retain sovereignty over it's portion of the Constitutional powers vested within it. This will put to bed the legal challenges that corrupted Judges are making. It effectively forces Congress to concede that taxation is unnecessary to fund Governmental operations. Furthermore, it raises the question if taxation without representation has returned to the table.
The Congress does not work for you. They say they do, but they do their own thing based on a cabal of agreement to a central authority that is not We The People. They listen to big dark money to remain in power, making millions through insider trading. This isn't new news or conspiracy, we have already discovered it. We know about it. But you people keep voting for the same thing over and over again, hoping for a different outcome by name recognition alone!
You don't see their votes. You don't talk to your statesmen. You don't call or write them, or go to their offices to speak to them. When they hold townhalls, they're preaching to you and not listening to you. When you speak up, they silence you. It's time to change.
This isn't about party lines. This is about who is really paying for the vote. It's time that real citizens with real ideas, not lawyers turned politicians, enter politics. This country is founded on smart people willing to sacrifice to stand up against malignancy.
People like Brandon Herrera, a Republican candidate running for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District in 2026. He challenged incumbent Tony Gonzales, who has now dropped out of the race. He's just like any other citizen, but with the power of knowledge, intelligence, and the focus of the people in mind. Not like California's Gavin Screwsome or AOC, who are self-serving and irresponsible to the People that voted for them.
So when someone says, "Orange Man Bad," remember: These people keep voting for those like Adam Schiff, who are too overeager to take your rights away by convincing you that it's better for everyone that you don't have rights, and to trust the Government to decide who lives and who dies while you give them 50% of your hard earned money through taxes. Sales tax. Real estate tax. Fuel tax. Energy tax. Natural gas tax. Ammo tax. Vehicle Registration Tax. State income tax. Federal income tax. Hospitality tax. Tourism tax. COVID tax. Estate tax. Death tax...
Tax! TAX! TAXES!
And for what? Power. If you're poor, you're subservient. You need handouts to survive because HALF of your money is taken by the Government. Don't believe me? Look at your tax forms. Really look at them and think about your purchases over they year. Do the numbers yourself.
8% here, 12% there, just for purchases. 10% on a home. Take a flight or train to visit family? Tax. Buy a home? Tax. Buy a car? Sales, Vehicle, Fuel, Emissions taxes. Many taxes are even atop one another for the same amount as the original purchase! Meaning, if you have two taxes for a $20K car, both account for that amount.
Food tax. Delivery tax. TAX! TAX! TAX! That's what voting Democrat gets you. That's why allowing these corrupt judges and politicians to continue to erode the Constitution means to you. The IRS isn't even in the Constitution! It's reauthorized by Presidents and Congress every fucking time!
WHY?!
Because without you being poor, they have to be fiscally responsible. They are squeezing you for your blood and hard work. You're a slave to them. They're only trying to limit the Presidency and Executive Branch because "Orange Man Good!"
Now is the time to do the right thing: Vote with your head, not your heart. Do the research. Look at your representatives, mayors, councilmen, and judges that you vote for. Really look at them. Look at their records for voting, decisions, and what they've been saying and how they've been saying it. Compare them with the others. And if you don't like either?
Maybe you should campaign for their job if think you can do better, and can convince others the same. You don't need to be rich. You just need to be an honest patriotic citizen who listens with good judgement and can compromise.
