Big Surprise: Committee to Protect Journalists, a group attempting to block the @FCC nomination of @DanielleThumann Severs, has a board and senior advisory panel packed with partisan leftists: @DanRather, @BWilliams, @amanpour, @jacobwe, and @SallyBuzbee, to name just a few. Why is @pressfreedom acting as an arm of the @AGomezFCC lobbying effort to keep her job? Isn't CPJ supposed to protect people like @evangershkovich instead of waging partisan political campaigns that have nothing to do with its core mission as described below?

Fake news smog factory Karl Bode @techdirt keeps polluting the landscape with his sulfur dioxide, writing: “They should have the votes to confirm @DanielleThumann Severs, though Democrats can certainly slow-walk the confirmation (recall what the GOP did to popular reformer Gigi Sohn’s nomination to the FCC).
Fact check: Biden nominee @gigibsohn was denied confirmation by a Democratic-controlled Senate because a sufficient number of Democrats, especially @Sen_JoeManchin of West Virginia, refused to support her.
Nice try, Karl.

You: “The ballroom is going to go down as one of Trump's best achievements.”
Me: 100% agree. And so will the Democrats if they ever recover from whatever bizarre mental illness that afflicts them.

I thought this ballroom was supposed to tower over the main White House residence? I thought the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, whose previous occupation was a real estate developer and was widely lauded by people from both parties prior to 2015, "didn't know what he was doing?"
The ballroom construction looks just fine and will fit perfectly into the aesthetics of the environment. All of the handwringing and bellyaching appears to be more Democrats overreacting, as many of us said it was at the time. Between the new helipad and the ballroom, I think the White House grounds are going to look exceptional when the project is finished. It sure will beat those gaudy tents on the ground whenever the president has to entertain. People have complained about how disgraceful they were since they first saw them when walking by the White House back in 1999. They were still being used when they walked by when Biden was in the White House just a few years ago. The ballroom is going to go down as one of Trump's best achievements.
