Last Week At The Sh*t Show–21Dec25

Just 4 days until we celebrate the most expensive Christmas ever….but hey life continued at the Sh*t Show….

Last week Donny had a national address, the shortest that I can recall, instead of offering encouraging words at this time of year he did what he always does blamed everyone possible for his failures.

He also announced his plans for our 250 year celebration….

President Donald Trump revealed how the nation’s capital will celebrate America’s 250th birthday next summer.

“2026 will be a celebration of America like no other, honoring our nation and all of its glory,” he said.

Trump’s plans will be carried out through a public, private partnership called Freedom 250.

“We will renew the patriotism, pride and pioneering spirit of America and lay the groundwork for the next 250 years of independence and freedom.”

Trump said the Washington Monument will be lit up with “festive birthday lights to honor the start of this historic anniversary year.”

From June 25-July 10, there will be a “Great American State Fair” on the national mall with pavilions from every state.

In the fall, Washington, D.C., will host the “Patriot Games,” “an unprecedented four-day athletic event featuring the greatest high school athletes, one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

Plans will go ahead to rename the Kennedy Center….

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced today the venerable Kennedy Center will be renamed for President Donald Trump. It will now be known as the Trump-Kennedy Center, she said, “because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year.”

Her full statement is this: “Some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.”

What hard work would that be?

Donny’s gaudy ballroom has gone from the original estimate of $200 million to $300 million and now we are told that it will be $400 million….

Donald Trump says the sprawling White House ballroom he is building on the grounds of the executive mansion will now cost $400 million — a significant jump from earlier estimates.

The president, 79, announced the updated price tag during a Hanukkah reception at the White House on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 17, where he also revealed that a federal judge has allowed construction on the controversial project to move forward. He repeated the figure multiple times while thanking the official for clearing the way for continued work, describing the ruling as an act of “courage.”

“We’re donating a $400 million ballroom,” Trump said at the event, according to footage shared by CSPAN. “Myself and donors are giving them, free of charge, for nothing.”

Will it just keep spiraling?

Then there is his “Patriot Games”…..

President Trump on Thursday unveiled the “Patriot Games,” a four-day athletic competition for top high school athletes from every US state and territory, to be hosted by the White House next fall as part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations. In a video released by Freedom 250, a new administration-backed group organizing the anniversary events, Trump said the contest will feature “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory,” CNN reports.

Trump has previously said the event will be televised and overseen by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. Critics quickly compared the concept to The Hunger Games, the dystopian series in which teenagers battle to the death in a televised arena. California Gov. Gavin Newsom posted a clip from the series, the Hill reports. In the video, Trump also discussed his plans for a new monument in the capital. “We are the only major place without a triumphal arc. A beautiful triumphal arc, one like in Paris, where they have the great, a beautiful arc,” he said, per CNN. “They call it the Arc de Triomphe, and we’re going to have one in Washington, DC, very soon.”

Trump also spoke about his plans for a UFC event on the White House South Lawn scheduled for June 14—his birthday and Flag Day—promising “the greatest champion fighters in the world.” Other events sponsored by Freedom 250 will include a national prayer event and a “Great American State Fair” on the National Mall, USA Today reports. Separate events will be hosted by America250, a bipartisan organization established by the United States Semiquincentennial Commission in 2016.

Did not someone else in history have this thing about athletic games?

Plus a wrestling spectacular on his birthday….tacky at best.

That idiot Hogsbreath has decided to force religion on troops….

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth this week ordered sweeping changes to the U.S. military’s chaplain corps, with a plan to simplify a system that he said has become too focused on “new age” concepts. “Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers, and we’re going to treat them as such,” Hegseth said in a video statement to the force on Wednesday. “Faith and virtue were traded for self-help and self-care,” Hegseth said, adding that chaplains had been “minimized” and were “viewed by many as therapists, instead of ministers.” He took special aim at the Army, saying its current spiritual fitness guide is pushing secular humanism, and he ordered the service to cease using the program immediately.

Does this really address all religious needs of the troops?
I think not.
Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has long been the idiot in the wood pile….but his take on the Bondi Beach thing is just typical for a moron….

Somehow, Joe Biden is responsible for one of the most horrific shootings in Australian history.

At least, that’s the narrative that Senator Lindsey Graham is pushing. In an interview with Fox News Monday night, the South Carolina lawmaker claimed that former Presidents Barack “Obama and Biden have a lot to do with this.”

“I blame the terrorist, but Obama allowed ISIS to come about when he withdrew from Iraq,” Graham continued. “Donald Trump destroyed the caliphate, killed [Iranian military officer Qassem] Soleimani, and got out of the Iran nuclear deal, and the dumbass Biden—the biggest dumbass on the planet—withdrew from Afghanistan, obliterated our borders, and rejoined the Iran nuclear agreement, making the Ayatollah flush with cash.”
