Why was there not public discourse about the East Wing? Oh yes, DJT said it would remain even as his HUGE ballroom was to be built adjacent. DMNews columnist Mark Lamster tells the Dallas City Hall controversy best. Click link. www.dallasnews.com/arts-enterta...

Lamster: Keep your hands off Dallas City Hall
Why demolishing I. M. Pei’s iconic building would be a financial boondoggle and an architectural travesty.

While the nation reels at the demolishment of the East Wing of the White House (The People's House!), Big D is having a very public conversation about the potential demise of the architecturally significant Dallas City Hall, the iconic 1970s masterpiece by I.M. Pei.

It's not the worst thing this Administration has done this year, but visually it tells the story of what Trump is doing to our beloved country. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

PHOTOS: White House starts East Wing demolition to build Trump's ballroom
The Republican president has said he's adding a 90,000-square-foot ballroom because the East Room, the largest room in the White House with an approximately 200-person capacity, is too small.

This country is already in a Civil War - a Cold Civil War. Question: Will DJT ordering the National Guard to the peaceful protests in LA - and possibly the US Marines - become the spark for a HOT Civil War? We can't let that happen! Do not be afraid to speak up! Make good trouble!

Waterless and torn-up "dancing waters" fountain on the Esplanade at Dallas Fair Park sadly illustrates how badly this historic jewel of a park with its many venues has crumbled into disrepair. Robert Wilonsky has a great article in today's Dallas Morning News detailing why. (Dallas News Photo)

If any one bill sums up the Trump47 fiscal agenda for all Americans, it is the so-called "beautiful "bill passed this week by the US House of Representatives as controlled by the GOP. It is actually "ugly" for most Americans! It now goes to the Senate. Contact your two US Senators to OPPOSE it.

Quoting Bill Betzen, Dallas, longtime fellow activist friend, here: "Using our freedom of speech rights is the best way to fight the massive evil assaulting the U.S.!" So true. Staying "neutral" is actually supporting any evil among us. Which side of history do you want to be on?

I am neither Catholic nor Evangelical so am showing no bias here. But, it seems to me that Pope Francis gets it right about mass deportations of migrants being fully in opposition to the teachings of Jesus, especially a principal tenet "love thy neighbor as thyself."
