'While all the Districts pay extra for groceries and everyday goods, the White House is excited to announce that the Capitol is creating a grand ballroom for opulent parties! May the odds be ever in your favor!!!' Newsom wrote, echoing snobby language from the popular franchise.

So will Newsom take the pledge, that if elected, he himself will never use this grand ballroom for presidential events?

It’s being paid for by donations - just like your run for political office, you smarmy hypocrite.

$200M spent on renovations to a historic national building considered a museum, landmark, global icon of American governance, and operations center for the executive branch of the most important country on the planet.

Yes, I’d like less money spent. But knowing President Donald Trump is doing this, I’m more likely to trust that the spend has value and is needed.

Doesn’t want his kids to go to school with children of color

“To ensure continuity in their children’s education, the family will split their time between Sacramento and Marin heading into the coming academic year,” said Izzy Gardon, a spokesperson for the governor

Gavin Newscum is upset with the news he got yesterday. The Jamaican/Non-Native American Indian/Canadian Hoser Voodoo Hoodoo Queen is going after the Presidency again in 2028. She’s pretty sure if she can get more than two billion this time, she’ll be able to pull it off. The sexual deviants in the “yellowstream media” have already moved her to the top of the RATS’ nominee list and have begun pimping her to the bottom feeding primates who vote in this country.

Newsom’s capital improvement project:

Overview
Design Changes to State Capitol Renovation Revealed in FEIR ...
The California State Capitol is undergoing a significant renovation and expansion project, known as the Capitol Annex Project, with a budget exceeding $1.1 billion. This project involves demolishing and rebuilding the existing Capitol Annex building, addressing issues such as non-compliance with building codes, seismic concerns, and the presence of asbestos. The project also includes a new parking garage and a visitor center, though the latter’s construction is currently uncertain.
Key aspects of the renovation:
Demolition and Reconstruction:
The old annex building is being torn down and replaced with a modern structure.
Addressing Building Deficiencies:
The project aims to rectify issues like non-ADA compliance, seismic instability, and asbestos concerns in the existing structure.
New Construction:
A new office building, parking garage, and potentially a visitor center are part of the project.
Budget and Delays:
The project’s budget has significantly increased, and delays have been encountered due to a lawsuit and a lack of transparency.
Public Scrutiny:
The project has faced criticism for its cost, secrecy, and potential impact on the environment and historic Capitol Park.
“Safe Corridors”:
The project includes private hallways for lawmakers, intended to enhance security and privacy.

Newsom says for 200 million dollars he could buy another 100 feet of railroad right-of-way going nowhere.

Yesterday I’m an interview, Rob Finnerty asked PDJT to give quick feedback when he mentioned a name of a person who works for him. When Rob said, “Karoline Leavitt”, I think Trump said, “machine gun”, (it similar).

The work is free, to the US.

The money will be from donations.

Trump said that while there might be donations, they will be small, and he could write the full amount himself. Crazy, he takes no salary and might write a check for 200 million to improve the White House for decades to come. Visitors have already said they have never seen the White House in such beautiful condition as of right now.

He already spent millions of his own money improving it. And the democrats hate it.
