The naming obsession with the Kennedy Centre is for sure to do with Trump's naming addiction but also the Project 2025 plan of taking over national cultural institutions including Smithsonian Institute. The Heritage Foundation freaks are sure they are creating their ideal culture, but they are just copying what was done before- basically Jim Crow but with some additional cultural and racial groups added.

Hey guess who the honorary chairman is? Melania Trump. Of course they will sue and of course he will lose (hopefully)because he cannot dedicate a building to himself which is what he did by voting on it. Mark Kelly was surprised that it was on the agenda suddenly (it was not planned) and he called in to vote. They will see through this.

Existential and Trump? I’m feeling Nausea, by Satre, and The Plague, by Camus, and there is No Exit, by Satre, and Trump is The Stranger (Mersault, who kills at random, because why not?), by Camus.

From Jackie Kennedy's statement at the Dedication of the Kennedy Center in 1971:

"For the Kennedy Center exists not for Washington alone. It exists for the entire nation. Its work will be closely linked with state arts councils; municipal arts centers; colleges; schools; and museums everywhere in our country. I am particularly glad that provisions are being made to set aside a proportion of tickets for every performance at special rates, to be reserved for students and old people and others not in a position to pay the box office price. This is a place not just for the wealthy elite, but for all America." (https://www.kennedy-center.org/our-story/history)

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”

I'd love to see Thomas and Alito dance around this clause in the Constitution.

More stolen "accomplishments." Piggy and his malevolent band of bug eyed weirdos are travelling to Long Island today to claim credit for Joe Biden's lowered crime rates. He's going because it's Friday and closer to his infested golf club in N.J.

A proposal to engrave “8647” on the building went nowhere.
