MSM’s TAKE ON WH BALLROOM...
Trump Kicks Melania Out of East Wing to Build Mar-a-Lago Ballroom
After bulldozing the White House rose garden and gold leafing the Oval Office, President Donald Trump plans to give the East Wing of the White House a full Mar-a-Lago-style makeover.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced construction on a new White House ballroom will begin in September and will wrap up before the end of Trump’s term.
The new ballroom will be approximately 90,000 total square feet with a capacity to host 650 people.
It will cost approximately $200 million to build, and the bill will be footed by private donors, according to Leavitt.
Offices currently held in the East Wing including the office of the first lady will temporarily be relocated.

Will the LSM ever get tired of being despicable?
I don't even know why I asked the question.
LIBS UNHINGED ABOUT ALINA HABBA...
Tr*mp attorney Alina Habba keeps showing up to job she was fired from & now a state’s court system is in chaos
This ballroom is very beautiful. I wonder will be the first head of state to be the guest of honor at a state banquet there. All of NATO ????
It’s gorgeous. The gold is subtle. It isn’t in-your-face wretched excess like Trump normally goes for.
Whoa . watching Greta interview career politician, 91 year old Grassley ...
He looks 10 times better than her. I wonder if she’s had a stroke...her mouth and eyes look so droopy.
I know she probably had the dang shot.
Hope she’s okay ... I enjoy Greta’s show.
Sit in a chair, not on a desk, Pokahontas.
🚨 JUST NOW: TRUTH NUKE was just dropped live on TV from FDA Commissioner Marty Makary.
“Look at the NIH...the NIH had just funded a lab that brewed up a virus that K*LLED 20 million people worldwide!”
This is why Fauci needs to be indicted.

I have noticed that Greta doesn’t look well.
I hope she is OK too.
“ I LOVE THIS MAN!!”

Is “toxic whiteness” really something anybody can say with a straight face?
Still, there is a heck of a lot of white in those models.
Yes, it’s called the “White House,” but unless it’s winter all the time a little green on the lawn wouldn’t hurt.
As long as this medical records thing stays “opt in“ I am for it.
They’re called RENDERINGS. You can see the architect’s stamp.
Did you really say that?
Okay, x, time for you to take your time out! To the cornfields, for you.
Yes....there needs to be an opt in or out choice, for sure.
How could the House vote for this? I thought they already went home early until September.
The passengers have all since been released from the hospital, the airline said.

Twenty-five people aboard a Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam were hospitalized after the flight encountered “significant” turbulence and was diverted to Minneapolis-St. Paul, the airline said.
Delta Air Lines Flight 56 landed safely at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport shortly before 8 p.m. local time Wednesday, the airline said. The flight was operating on an Airbus A33-900 with 275 passengers and 13 crew members on board.
The Minneapolis-St. Paul Fire Department and paramedics responded to the gate to provide initial medical attention, the Metropolitan Airports Commission said.
The airline said 25 of those on board, including seven crew members, were taken to the hospital “for evaluation and care.” All have since been released, the airline said Thursday.
Passengers will continue on to Amsterdam from Minneapolis-St. Paul on a special flight Thursday evening, Delta said.
Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-900neo wide body passenger aircraft spotted while towed in Amsterdam Schiphol Airport AMS EHAM with the air traffic control tower visible, towards the gates of the airport terminal to operate the flight DL143, departing to Seattle SEA in the USA.
Leeann Nash, who was on the flight with her husband, told Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP that dinner service had just started on the flight when the turbulence came out of nowhere.
“There was actually no warning. It was a very abrupt, hard hit,” Nash said. “If you didn't have your seat belt on — everyone that didn't — they hit the ceiling, and then they fell to the ground, and the carts also hit the ceiling and fell to the ground, and people were injured, and it happened several times, so it was really scary.”
Nash said there were “glass bottles flying around.”
“And you know, those carts are very heavy, so we were fortunate that we had seat belts on at the time, but we still saw cellphones flying around quite a bit,” Nash added. “But I will hand it to the flight attendants, they were incredibly calm, very well trained and very responsive.”
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
