Numerous Democrats are foaming at the mouth over the expansion of the White House East Wing with a stunning 90,000 square-foot addition paid for by President Donald Trump and other donors.
In response to the news that construction was under way on Trump's ballroom, Hillary Clinton — the twice-failed presidential candidate and former first lady who absconded from the White House in 2001 with a small fortune's worth of furniture and furnishings that weren't hers to take — said, "It's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it."
'Thank you for your attention to this matter.'
Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), one of the Democrats keeping the government shut down, brought a photo into the Senate on Thursday showing the East Wing's demolition, suggesting it was not only illustrative of the White House's "desecration" but symbolic of what the president is "doing to the whole country."
In an apparent effort to troll these and other apoplectic Democrats, the White House's website has been revamped such that it now highlights a selection of past administrations' scandals on the premises.
Besides referencing in its major events timeline Presidents William Howard Taft's remodeling of the West Wing, Franklin D. Roosevelt's expansion of it, and Harry Truman's "total reconstruction" of the White House's interior, the website now makes mention of Bill Clinton's sordid sex scandal, noting that the former Democratic president's affair with Monica Lewinsky set the stage for perjury investigations and, ultimately, his impeachment.
The website also mentions the 2012 meeting between members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood and Obama White House officials, noting that "the Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization by nearly a dozen nations."
After highlighting how first lady Melania Trump oversaw the privately funded construction of the tasteful neoclassical tennis pavilion on the South Lawn, the White House timeline references how a bag of cocaine was found in the West Wing entrance lobby during Joe Biden's time in office as well as the degenerate LGBT event Biden hosted at the White House in 2023 where a medical transvestite showed off his fake breasts on the South Lawn.
The new timeline appears to have already ruffled some feathers.
Sam Stein, managing editor of the anti-Trump Bulwark blog, wrote, "The White House has revamped its website to defend the destruction of the East Wing. And they've done it exactly the way you'd expect."
James Blair, White House deputy chief of staff, said in reply, "Liberal Media has [a] problem with documented historical facts being posted on White House website."
Deputy assistant to the president Kaelan Dorr got in on the fun, tweeting to Stein, "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

After refusing to call on Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race over a text message scandal, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger is hoping to boost her odds with a Tuesday campaign event featuring two familiar names.
Bill Nye "the Science Guy" and Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg were scheduled to join Spanberger on Tuesday for her rally in Charlottesville, according to Fox News Digital. Buttigieg and Spanberger will host a "Virtual Coalitions All Call" on Tuesday evening.
'I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words.'
Former President Barack Obama, who endorsed Spanberger last week, will attend her Norfolk rally on November 1, her campaign website states.
"Virginia's elections are some of the most important in the country this year, and I am proud to endorse Abigail Spanberger for governor. Republican policies are raising costs on working families so billionaires can get massive tax cuts," Obama stated. "As governor, Abigail will stand up for Virginia families. She'll work to build an economy that works for everyone, not just big corporations and the wealthy."
Nye attended a No Kings event in D.C. over the weekend. During his speech, he criticized President Donald Trump.
"We are here to tell our lawmakers that what's going on in our government is wrong. They must stop the abuses of this petulant president and his circle of sycophants," Nye said.
"This president and his associates cannot tolerate dissent. To them, our free speech is frightening. They are arresting people and denying due process in courts," he continued.
Spanberger's high-profile endorsements follow a public relations scandal that Virginia Democrats have attempted to downplay. In a leaked text message exchange from 2022, Jones, a former Virginia delegate, wished death upon a Republican lawmaker and his children.
In the texts, Jones presented a hypothetical scenario in which he would choose to use "two bullets" to shoot then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), if given the choice between Gilbert, Adolf Hitler, and Pol Pot. He also accused Gilbert and his wife of "breeding little fascists" and wished harm on their children.

Spanberger released a statement condemning Jones' violent comments but stopped short of calling for him to end his campaign. Instead, Spanberger continues to host events sponsored by her campaign and those of Jones and Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor Ghazala Hashmi.
"After learning of these comments earlier today, I spoke frankly with Jay about my disgust with what he had said and texted," Spanberger stated. "I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words. What I have also made clear is that as a candidate — and the next governor of our commonwealth — I will always condemn violent language in our politics."
As of Tuesday evening, no Democrats have called on Jones to step out of the race.

The House Judiciary Committee officially referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Department of Justice for allegedly lying to Congress about his involvement in the Russia collusion hoax.
Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) referred Brennan to the DOJ on Tuesday for allegedly making "false statements" during his transcribed testimony before the Judiciary Committee in 2023. During his testimony, Brennan made "numerous willfully and intentionally false statements," including that the CIA was not "involved at all" with the Steele dossier, according to Jordan.
'It indicates a pattern of Brennan's willingness to lie.'
"Congress cannot perform its oversight function if witnesses who appear before its committees do not provide truthful testimony," a letter from Jordan to Attorney General Pam Bondi reads. "Making false statements before Congress is a crime that undermines the integrity of the Committee's constitutional duty to conduct oversight."
In the letter, Jordan outlined every falsehood he claims Brennan stated during his 2023 testimony, testimony that Jordan said directly contradicted the Intelligence Community Assessment.
In 2017, several intelligence agencies published a report alleging that Russia had meddled in America's elections to elect President Donald Trump to his first term in 2016. This report, which was later debunked, was based on the Steele dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the law firm Perkins Coie and other opposition research firms like Fusion GPS.
After the Trump administration declassified documents showing that the report's claims were apparently fabricated by former President Barack Obama's administration, Brennan's testimony was called into question.
Brennan initially claimed in May 2023 that the "CIA was not involved at all with the [Steele] dossier," a statement that contradicted the findings "jointly made by the Directors of CIA and FBI," according to Jordan's letter. Jordan also claimed that Brennan "overruled senior CIA officers" who had objections about including the dossier material in the report.
"Brennan's assertion that the CIA was not 'involved at all' with the Steele dossier cannot be reconciled with the facts," the letter reads. "As the newly declassified documents show, a CIA officer drafted the annex containing a summary of the dossier; Brennan made the ultimate decision, along with then-FBI Director James Comey, to include information from the dossier in the ICA."
Brennan similarly testified that the CIA "very much opposed" including the Steele dossier in the report, despite declassified documents claiming he "refused to remove it" from the report regardless of its "many flaws."
Durin separate testimony in 2017, Brennan said the Steele dossier "was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment," despite contrary evidence found after the Trump administration declassified documents. Notably, this testimony was made beyond the five-year statute of limitations, but Jordan said that "it indicates a pattern of Brennan's willingness to lie to Congress about the Steele dossier."

'This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels. My oversight will continue,' Sen. Grassley wrote on X.
Green energy and Obamacare are terrible wounds on the American body politic, and Trump deserves great credit for ripping off the bandage.
