Tis the season for giving – so taxpayers are being asked to shell out $139,000 to cover the costs of President Biden’s first National Christmas Tree lighting.
The National Park Service is paying the steep price to an Ohio company that located, transported and transplanted this year’s tree just outside the White House, TMZ reported Saturday, citing federal documents.

I would imagine we spent similar under Trump.
Yeah, but at least NOW we can afford it. LOL!
Well the ‘green’ tree will have solar panels on every branch. It must be self sufficient.
And Jill will be decorating the White House? Let me guess the theme. Will all the trees be black? All the manakins in a store near me are (in a 92% white neighborhood). I’ll never go in the store again.
One of the networks already had a WH Christmas special with DOCTOR Jill’s decor I think. Not sure which channel. 🤢🤮🤢
This has always been a silly thing. Every year, the president spends thousands for this. I submit that in the future, it should be paid for the political party in office their own private donations, from their own savings accounts.
I take that back - apparently it’s Dec 12 on HGTV.
Although it’s fun to imagine Brandon randomly wandering into a scene and mumbling to himself while they’re shooting, I think I’ll take a hard pass.
“mumbling to himself while they’re shooting, I thin ...”
we can only wish for ‘shooting’
My cost using the same tree and decorations over the past few decades averages out to about $13.90 a year.
It’s the cost of Pervertjoe’s pedophile ornaments that add to the expense of the White House tree.
Experts at the Pentagon’s advanced research agency Darpa are said to be unsure
how China achieved the hypersonic feat and what the projectile might be for....
Why not ask Hunter Biden?
Helpful Hunter and his “family connections” might have assisted China in it’s hypersonic weapon development. Imperiling Americans’ safety and security? Nah, not a concern to the Bidens.
THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HUNTER’S ACTIVITIES:
<><> in 2017 he had a deal to transfer liquid natural gas from Louisiana to CEFC, a Chinese company,
<><> in 2016 BHR invested in CATL, a CCP Chinese company now the world’s biggest maker of batteries for electric vehicles.
<><>BHR’s earlier deal helped finance an Australian coal-mining company controlled by a state-owned CCP firm.
<><> Hunter also assisted a subsidiary of a CCP Chinese defense conglomerate in buying a Michigan auto parts maker.
Nor was Joe Biden oblivious to all of this.
<><>As a US Senator he frequently met with CCP minister in DC.
<><>As VP, Joe Biden sucked up to Xi........then China gave tens of millions to Joe’s “non profits”.....now under investigation.
Underwater Biden says his $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” is “progress” to get the economy back on track.
Sure thing....every family knows if you’re in debt and your finances are screwed up....go out and spend even more money you don’t have.
Biding is a fetid pile of BS.
Like Hillary’s prophylactics that she decorated the White House Christmas Tree with?
Digging, balling and moving a tree that large isn’t cheap. Does the article provide the previous 3-5yrs’ costs for the same job?
Still smaller and less wattage than the Griswold family Christmas tree.
Pampering Jill, EdD on show....
Glad I didn’t see it. I would have choked up and my eyes would have misted with tears and I wouldn’t be able to read these posts.
I’m still holding a grudge against the leftists for hurting Melania, who never did anything political against these losers. Vogue, quiet and positive TV interviews, life in her White House....all banned or glossed over quickly. Then slanderous stories pushed (she won a large lawsuit in court for damages from one).
She didn’t do anything to deserve that. I will remember.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper to transplant a pine tree into the location and use it annually?

So? How much did tree lightings under Trump and Obama cost?
My cost is $0.00 per year.
We travel to see family every year and have never spent Christmas at our current home. My wife puts a few decorations up but no tree or lights
