United States Senator (Sycophant) interrogating Mr. Jack Smith. Harkening back to the McCarthy hearings of the 50’s, sometimes a good Congressional hearing will help even the most uninformed to tell the difference between Substantiality from the Clowns. A Real ‘60 Minutes’ would be all over this.

Trump is remodeling the White House. The group set up to protect it has stayed quiet.

The White House Historical Association, a nonprofit set up by Jacqueline Kennedy to preserve the building’s character, has declined to criticize the president’s changes.
