I Don’t Care Who’s Name Is On The Building–Just Fix It!

Posted on by

On Sunday, Townhall posted an article citing an incident where President Trump has been proven right again.

The article reports:

President Donald Trump was once again proven right on the crumbling Kennedy Center after it was found that a portion of the ceiling collapsed due to serious neglect.

…The Trump administration’s efforts to renovate and revamp the Kennedy Center have been stifled by activist judges and Democrat-backed lawsuits. Earlier this year, courts blocked an effort to attach Trump’s name to the building as a means of generating further revenue for the proposed renovation. Now, the Trump administration is battling in court to determine whether or not they are able to develop a new plaza for the venue.

The Kennedy Center’s board is proposing a $250 million renovation that would likewise add Trump’s name to the facade to secure the financial future of the iconic capital landmark in the latest effort to beautify Washington, D.C. during Trump’s second term.

Are the liberals so blinded by their hatred for President Trump that they don’t want to see an national treasure restored? Adding President Trump’s name to the building will not destroy it, and as mentioned, could help with raising the funds needed to do the work required. The ceiling fell down because repairs were needed. Judges and courts blocked those repairs. Now we have a bigger mess to clean up. Thank God there were no people in the building when this happened.

If You Provide Uplifting Entertainment, They Will Come

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about the Kennedy Center in Washington.

The Kennedy Center has recently been moving toward more family-friendly entertainment.

The article reports:

The Kennedy Center began the month of June by debuting the Angel Studios hit film “The King of Kings,” an animated movie that goes through the life of Jesus. It comes after a week’s worth of events celebrating LGBTQ+ rights ahead of the World Pride festival in Washington, D.C. were canceled. 

The Center held two showings of the film on June 1 as part of its effort to revamp its family-focused programming to include more faith-based content. Both shows were a “huge success” and the event’s prayer wall was “completely full,” a spokesperson for The Kennedy Center told Breitbart News.

“Both shows completely SOLD OUT, proving what Kennedy Center President Ambassador Richard Grenell has been saying all along — the American people want to see more family-friendly programming,” the spokesperson said. 

The article concludes:

Earlier this year, President Donald Trump pledged to reform The Kennedy Center, and he ultimately replaced its board and appointed himself chairman. He also asked Special Envoy Grenell to serve as the Center’s president.

“At my direction, we are going to make the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., GREAT AGAIN,” Trump posted to Truth Social in February. “Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP.”

We need a cultural revival in America. It’s time we stopped feeding people junk and started feeding them entertainment that will encourage, enlighten, and provide a positive outlook on life. Politics flows from the culture, so a positive cultural change would go a long way toward healing the problems and divides in our country.

Investigating The Cause Of “Broke”

In recent days we are learning a lot about how Washington, D.C. works. Most of it is not surprising, although the volume and depth of the corruption we are uncovering is a little unnerving.

On February 13th, Breitbart posted an article about changes being made at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Ric Grenell is currently serving as the interim executive director of the Kennedy Center.

The article reports:

Opened in 1971, the center was named in 1964 as a memorial to assassinated President John F. Kennedy. It often hosted woke events during the Biden administration. Situated on the eastern bank of the Potomac River down the road from Georgetown, its exterior was also lit in a rainbow color light display.

“Ric shares my Vision for a GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Culture, and will be overseeing the daily operations of the Center,” Trump posted on social media. “NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA — ONLY THE BEST. RIC, WELCOME TO SHOW BUSINESS!”

The Kennedy Center has a $240 million dollar budget, yet has zero cash on hand, the source told Breitbart News.

It’s difficult to have a budget of $240 million and have no cash on hand.

The article notes:

Grenell has already made changes to the budget. He fired several highly paid executives and slashed the payroll by $2.4 million, the source added.

The fired executives include the Center’s former president and general counsel.

He will apparently hire new staff with salaries six figures lower than the salaries of those previously in the executive roles.

New members of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees were also announced.

Those include President Donald Trump, Susie Wiles, Dan Scavino, Allison Lutnick, Lynda Lomangino, Mindy Levine, Usha Vance, Pamela Gross, John Falconetti, Cheri Summerall, Sergio Gor, Emilia May Fanjul, Patricia Duggan, and Dana Blumberg.

I am looking forward to a Kennedy Center that spotlights the best of American artistic talent.
