WASHINGTON (TNND) — Protesters are planning to link hands around the Kennedy Center in a public show of opposition to what organizers describe as political interference in the arts and changes at the landmark Washington venue.
Hands Off the Arts will host a “Hands Around the Kennedy Center” rally, beginning with a gathering on the Kennedy Center steps and culminating with a human chain around the building.
Organizers say the event is meant to protest the “President’s defacing of JFK’s memorial, his removal and censorship of art, and his threat to demolish the Center if he can’t remake the site in his image.”

Do none of these useless people work?
😂and of course EVERYONE has their right to their opinion!
Ha. And like the power outages with increase in births 9 months later, maybe some horrible freaks running for office as socialists and Dems, and their chanting mobs of supporters came from that time.
In March, the Board approved for the money to be spent:

The Board are almost all appointees by President Trump.
Understand about today, but how did the building opened in 1971 get so bad that it requires this much money and this much time?
Note, I live in a 1963 built house that has been maintained and upgraded over the decades. So keeping on top of a building can be done. So why did the previous boards allow the center to be in such disrepair? That’s the 257 million dollar question?
So bottom line, these previous boards were very poor caretakers of a public facility! Which is the point of my comments. Almost dare I say (dare, dare, dare) criminal!
They would if they could afford the diesel.
Agreed, it needs some TLC.
Hopefully it gets some soon!
My insane lib father was in to all that woo woo stuff. I remember he joined in the “harmonic resonance” chants or some such nonsense when I was young. He bought URI Gellars spoon bending shtick hook line and sinker. Every new age gimmick he was all for. He never did just go to church and give his life to Jesus. I have no idea where he is now.
Sad. Even on Coast to Coast George Noory said a tape delayed segment of a psychic was shown to be phony because how could it still be getting calls when the psychic was gone after the live segment? His paid henchmen at home were making the phony calls to him as a setup.
At a science fiction convention I saw a debunking guest demonstrate how to slip a bent spoon to replace the straight one to be like Uri Gellar. Very smooth-—and fake.
The Amazing Randy has a great documentary exposing all those frauds.
“An Honest Liar” Free on you tube.
Pops was always kind of looney. He never forgave me for turning conservative and not getting a government job like he had his whole life.
Sorry you had to incur insults for being better than the always Dem generation. Happened to me, too.
