3. Andrew Jackson, who added the West Colonnade;
4. Ulysses S. Grant, who put in central heating and indoor plumbing;
5. Theodore Roosevelt, who added the West Wing;
6. William Howard Taft, who expanded West Wing and added the first Presidential Oval Office;
7. Herbert Hoover, who added a two-car garage under the East Wing;
8. Franklin D. Roosevelt, who added the East Wing; and,
9. Harry S. Truman, who gutted and rebuilt the interior and added the balcony over the South Portico.

CLINTONS: CLICK https://x.com/HawleyMO/status/1980798333787799985 [1:00] to hear a reminder of what these two did to the People’s House.

N.b., Some commenters noted that the Clintons had to return $28,000 worth of items they took with them that had been donated to the permanent White House collection, not to them personally. The Clintons voluntarily returned the items, saying they had had believed them to have been personal gifts. Similar gift controversies have occurred with other administrations, like the Reagans and the Obamas, highlighting a problem with the White House staff generally being sloppy about keeping records of gifts.

More easily debunked baloney from the Left:

• “Trump hates immigrants” (he is married to one);
• “Trump hates women” (he has the first ever female Chief of Staff);
• “Trump will start WW3” (he has stopped 8 wars in 9 months);
• “Trump is a dictator” (people are free to protest him 24/7);
• “Trump is an existential threat to democracy” (he won the electoral vote, the popular vote, and all swing states).

ALASKA: On Friday, Trump signed an order approving construction of a 211-mile industrial route that will open access to one of America’s richest mineral regions. Known as the Ambler Road Project, it is expected to generate billions in new revenue by unlocking copper, zinc, and rare-earth deposits in Alaska that are vital to both manufacturing and national defense. Trump blasted his predecessor for halting the plan in 2023, saying it “should have been long operating and making billions of dollars for our country.” Construction on the Ambler Road is scheduled to begin by next spring

LEGO: MRIs, which don’t involve radiation, are often used in pediatric care – but with the bright light, loud noises and requirement to stay still, the machines often frighten children and introduce the need for sedation. Lego donates these custom MRI sets to hospitals around the world to help children know what to expect. The miniature MRI machine table moves back and forth, mimicking a real procedure. Healthcare professionals say that playing with the model helps to reduce anxiety and, in about half the cases, eliminate the need for sedation.

UN: In 2024, the United Nations decided to give itself the power to tax the world. This past week, it tried to act on that with a “carbon tax” on all shipping vessels.

JAMES: [7:40] – On October 9, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Letitia James on bank fraud and false statements charges related to a Norfolk, Virginia property she purchased in August 2020. The indictment alleges James made different representations about the same property to different entities — all under penalty of perjury or with binding legal consequences.

1. On August 17, 2020, James signed a Second Home Rider declaring, under penalty of perjury, that she and she alone would occupy the Norfolk, Virginia property.
2. On her 2020 to 2024 IRS, she listed the Norfolk, Virginia property as “rental real estate“ with “zero personal use days” and reported income from rent, minus expenses.
3. On her NY State disclosure forms, she called it “investment” property.
4. In 2020, she applied for insurance on the Norfolk, Virginia property, declaring it “owner-occupied non-seasonal use.“

Meanwhile, Letitia James has been the New York Attorney General since January 1, 2019. The New York Attorney General is required to maintain residency within the state. If the officeholder removes his/her residence from the required territorial limits, the office becomes vacant.

Remember when Congress voted to close the government and King Trump had them all executed and replaced with toadies? Oh wait …

PROPAGANDA: The latest left-wing talking point is that “anarchy” is like Mom’s Apple Pie. Example from today’s X thread about the Antifa charges reported above: “They’re anything but anarchists. Anarchy comes from Latin: an archia. In English: Without rulers. It doesn’t mean chaos, rioting or violence. Language matters and linguistic corruption is a form of subversion.”

I googled “anarchy definition” and got back this.

1. Absence of any form of political authority.
2. Political disorder and confusion.
3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.

GRAMMY NOTES: Mama Buzz shared this about a woman she knows. “She was telling us how she gets migraines and when she started offering them up in prayer, she also tries to hold off on taking anything for the pain because she wants to have more to offer up. And later she told me she had realized she had often been critical of Pope Francis but rarely remembered to pray for him. So now, she decided anything related to her head, she offers up for the head of our Church and since she started doing that, she actually gets excited when she feels a migraine coming in! Talking about joyful suffering! I am so inspired!” (P.S., the photo above is not a Mascot. It’s from the internet.)

Typing this out, I am remembering what he said about praying for that person. I usually say a silent ‘How great Thou art’ or something similar. Gotta remember to pray for the blasphemer!” Yup.
