A few years ago I purchased a Christmas ornament thru the White House Historical Association. Yesterday I got their catalog in the mail, found a contact email through a QR code and sent off this missive. It would be nice to know what’s going on with the
Peoples House.

Opinion | Trump’s Crusade Against Antisemitism Is Extremely Bad for the Jews (Gift Article) Antisemitism is real. But the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend.

An excellent refutation of the admins bullshit anti semitism push and the anti semites behind it.

Live Updates: Trump Calls Signal Leak Episode a β€˜Witch Hunt’ (Gift Article) Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, the president focused on the successful U.S. airstrikes in Yemen more than the discussion of military plans in a commercial messaging app where a journalist...

Oh The Donald, you now just sound like the boy who cried witch hunt, over, and over.

I just watched the entirety of the public portion of the Senate Inel Comm ATA.
D’s had many important questions about the Signal app fiasco. R’s, zero.
The bottom line on the testimony of Gabbard, Patel and Ratcliffe on the breach was to thrown SecDef Hegseth under the bus.
Will Pete now be called?

Trump Leads a β€˜Machinery’ of Misinformation in Second Term (Gift Article) President Trump’s first four years in the White House were filled with falsehoods. Now he and those around him are using false claims to justify their policy changes.

β€œβ€¦Mr. Trump and his advisers have ushered the country into a new era of post-truth politics, where facts are contested and fictions used to pursue policy goals.”

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million (Gift Article) A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

β€œIn private, he tossed around numerous prices, topping out at $400 million, according to a Columbia official from that era, a figure that an anonymous source leaked to The Post a few times.”
What are the chances the leaker was John Barron, or by then was it John Miller?
