The Autocrat and the Architect.
Reports are leaking out that Trump's architect and Trump are now at odds over the ever expanding ballroom, with McCreey having told Trump that the building, which now will hold over 1,000 people, is getting too big and is going to engulf the White House itself. McCreery is no longer taking a day to day role in the vandalization.
It frankly is looking more and more like this project will never get built. Trump's dementia is racing through his cerebellum now and the clock on his illegitimate occupancy of the Presidency is likely winding down.
The ballroom, which nobody other than Trump wants, and has not been wanted for 150 years like Trump likes to claim, is a major focus for Trump. He's desperately looking for a physical monument to himself.
Looking for somebody to blame for murder.
Over the last few days, since the Washington Post broke the news that survivors of the first illegal Venezuelan boat sinking were subsequently murdered on the water, the Trump administration has been bouncing off the walls to get ahead of the story.
On the Weekend shows, Noem slandered the newspaper, saying she wouldn't believe the story. Since then it's gone from Hegseth ordered everyone killed, but that was before the first illegal act, and the Navy commander of the operation acted independently, apparently interpreting his orders in that fashion.
The irony is that, of course, the same group of people were having a fit about a collection of Senators who are veterans urging service members not to follow illegal orders. Now it turns out that a major illegal order was just given. In fact, the entire boat sinking campaign off of Venezuela is illegal, so the first strike was itself murder. Killing the survivors is definitely illegal.
Gray complaining about Gordon.
Chuck Gray is complaining about the Governor not granting him extra money to publicize a moronic initiative to completely destroy the state's finances by cutting property taxes 50%.
Gray will take off before the chickens ever come home to roost on this. He's still aligned with the Freedom Caucus but it's pretty this legislative session, where they are going to loom large, is going to be their high water mark. Gray wants to be governor, but he's not going to get that position. I'd guess that Barlow will, although its quite early. When that effort fails, Gray might take a run at the Senate, if he's still around, and then depart, or just depart.
Postscript:
The official position is that the Admiral in charge of the operation ordered the second strike, with Hegseth saying he had left by the time it occurred. He also cited the fog of war as the reason for the killing, which would presuppose there being a war, which there isn't.
