Gold is gaudy???

Look at the instructions the Lord gave in building the Ark of the Covenant:

“They are to make an ark of acacia-wood three-and-three-quarters feet long, two-and-a-quarter feet wide and two-and-a-quarter feet high. You are to overlay it with pure gold — overlay it both inside and outside — and put a molding of gold around the top of it.”-Exodus 25:10-11

Researchers said it amounted to eight tons of gold.

Evidenly, the Lord likes what you call gaudy.

Typical article stating the cost and no mention of it being private funding.

Those horses have already left the barn. The East Wing is gone. I suppose it was done hastily to get around the pricks in the Congress.

Point is, OUR money paid for that basketball court, we are NOT paying for this ballroom and they could use the room

The Louisville Courier-Urinal has been a waste of time for multiple decades at this point.

Looking over your comments it is obvious you believe you are the arbiter of good taste. Here’s a bulletin. You are one member of the human race entitled to an opinion. You can either disparage everyone’s taste that differs from yours or concentrate on expressing your taste in your own home/property.

It is. Having to host events at the White House in tents is ridiculous and a national security issue.

I’m as pro-Rand and pro-Massie as one can get but if they start making waves against White House constructions projects, they are making a mistake.

They are playing right into the narrative that Vance was painting the other day at the TPUSA event....It’s great to have principals and stand up for them even when it’s hard and makes the party mad, but when you ALWAYS nitpick and find reasons to oppose Trump, it’s not a good look.

Rep. Comer is probably ok with the project, but Rand will voice his complaints so he can get more face and print time. He’s as bad as Schumer used to be in trying to get in front of a camera.

Look I don’t have a problem with Trump and the ballroom, but no, it’s not the President’s house, it belongs to the American people and we allow the President to to live there during his term.
