LET THEM EAT CAKE!

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

President Trump Angers Fans With Golf Course Announcement


... “We’re doing some fix-up of the base, which it needs. We’re gonna try and reinstitute the golf courses. I’m meeting with the greatest Jack Nicklaus,” Trump told reporters on Friday. “He’s involved in trying to bring their recreational facility back.”

The course is located about 15 miles outside of Washington, D.C. It has three 18-hole golf courses, three practice putting greens, a driving range and two private practice areas....
On an air base?! Seems the taxpayers have already been fleeced by the Pentagon and its generals and admirals who golf there for free.
If you want to achieve greatness stop asking for permission.

It is not unusual for military bases to have nice recreational facilities. I grew up near Fort McPherson in ATL and it had a nice golf course and superior baseball field.

Kristi Noem and Kash Patel arrive in Las Vegas for the F1 opening

https://hot96.com/2025/11/22/motor-raci ... rand-prix/
LAS VEGAS (Reuters) -FBI Director Kash Patel and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem were in attendance at the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday, arriving on the red carpet with Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali before touring the paddock and McLaren’s garage.

“This is a fantastic event to celebrate not just these drivers and teams but also the great competition F1 is,” Noem told Reuters.

“We’re just glad everyone could come and do it securely.”

Patel said he was “absolutely” an F1 fan and that he supported McLaren.
I don't recall us ever having government department heads flying around like celebrities attending events with the red carpet rolled out for them quite like these two. Between the photo shoots, the news about Patel hopping around the country on the tax payer dime to attend various events, as well as flying his girlfriend around, it's complete madness. The end result of American celebrity worship.

I don't think it's really an issue of nice recreational facilities. It's more a matter of extravagant-looking and possibly unnecessary renovations while simultaneously whining about cutting costs and laying off thousands. But even so, the proposed work could have been done in a normal manner and probably few if any who weren't close by would notice. But Trump has to ride his bull into the china shop and stir up a flap where none was necessary.

Well, it's not like they do any real work in their pretend cosplay jobs, for which they're undeniably unqualified.

Trump's disclosure of this was fairly low key. Only TDS afflicted folks are making a big deal of it.

Maga Jack Nicholas for a government course?


This is all about DonOLD ego feed and wanting a different, more convenient local course for his outings and play a round or two with some Generals. His DC course is 40 minutes away, this one is ten minutes.

Trump doesn't have a "low key". But if he did, he would be proclaim it to be the "greatest low key - low key like nobody has ever seen before. A big beautiful low key, the most low key ever imagined by anybody."

"end result"? We've yet to see Friendly Fire Barbie and Ka$h in sponsored cosplay coveralls.
