Another portrait of President Donald Trump is going up in the White House, and its position is tickling social media users. The art, which features a photo of a steely-eyed Trump with stars and stripes imposed over his face, is snuggled between two portraits of former First Ladies Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. It is located outside the East Wing, where First Lady Melania Trump has her offices. It is also in a central location where visitors pass through during their tours of the White House. It is also the same artwork that Trump features in his Truth Social profile picture.

Comments:

I know I would probably hate it if some other POTUS allowed, or did, something like this. But, I just can’t help myself - I love it! I love it even more that it’s adorning the wall just outside FLOTUS Melania Trump’s offices. Very symbolic!

It’s right outside of Melania’s office? Maybe SHE hung it there. Wouldn’t that be sweet!

To me this looks like he can't resist a twist-that-dagger moment even if it's at the expense of a weary public that just wants things to settle and move forward. He may think his in-your-face defiance makes a point, but the flip side is it's puzzling to see a President choose to participate in a cheesy sideshow moment when he could be providing peace of mind to anguished and exhausted citizens instead.

That just looks awful....agree, it's ugly! Not too fond of Trump's Oval Office decor, either....fireplace mantel & face went way overboard with all those gold objects! But I'll take it all under the circumstances.....

A former FBI analyst who resigned over the Trump administration and boasted about working on January 6 cases is running for Congress as a Democrat. John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District — and he’s wasted no time in blasting the Trump administration and invoking January 6. Sullivan worked in the bureau for almost 17 years but resigned in April over the Trump administration, according to his Substack. Since leaving the bureau, he’s slammed the Trump administration and Elon Musk. Sullivan claimed President Donald Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel pose a “threat … to American safety and security.”

China has worked tirelessly to cultivate relationships with U.S. politicians, funding lobbying efforts, business partnerships, and even election campaigns.

On Monday, a House Democrat introduced seven articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, kicking off a bid that has virtually no chance of succeeding in the Republican-led Congress. The impeachment resolution from Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) accuses Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors” over alleged constitutional violations related to taxpayer funds, deportations, tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) effort led by Elon Musk, retaliation against the press, and others. “Donald Trump has repeatedly demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as President and represents a clear and present danger to our nation’s constitution and our democracy,” Thanedar said

Canada’s Liberal Party won a fourth consecutive election, giving a mandate to former central banker Mark Carney after a campaign in which he pledged to boost economic growth and stand up to US President Donald Trump in a trade war. Liberal candidates were leading or elected in 135 of the 343 seats, ahead of the Conservative Party with 88 as of 10:14 p.m. Ottawa time. The Liberals will secure enough seats to try to form a government, but it’s still unclear whether they’ll win a majority or be forced to work with other parties to pass legislation, according to projections from major TV networks.

Hakeem Jeffries Invokes Civil War Rhetoric,

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), during a ridiculous "sit-in" on the steps of the Capitol, invoked Civil War-era rhetoric to portray Democrats as "patriots" and the Republican party as "traitors." Jeffries' controversial comments came during a staged protest on the steps of Congress, where he was initially joined by Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ/Sparta) and then accompanied by several other Democrats and their colleagues. This was by design, an attempt to make their "sit-in" appear to be an organic swelling of support—impressive in their own minds, much like Booker's fake 25-hour filibuster. Rev. William Barber joined the exercise in futility. He discussed putting “principles over party," triggering Jeffries to

With the average cost of a new car edging toward the $50,000 mark, affordable, basic transportation is becoming increasingly difficult for many Americans. Slate, a new EV startup backed by Jeff Bezos, believes its new $25,000 pickup truck, which could cost less than $20,000 with tax credits, could help change that, its CEO, Chris Barman, told Business Insider. "There's a massive population of people out there when it comes to safe, reliable, affordable transportation; there just really aren't many alternatives for them," Barman said in an interview ahead of the unveiling of the new EV this week.
