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.<\/p>\n
On February 13th, Breitbart<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n The article reports:<\/p>\n Opened in 1971, the center was named in 1964 as a\u00a0memorial to\u00a0assassinated President\u00a0John F. Kennedy. It often hosted woke events during the Biden administration. Situated on the eastern bank of the\u00a0Potomac River down the road from Georgetown, its exterior was also lit in a rainbow color light display.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Kennedy Center has a $240 million dollar budget, yet has zero cash on hand, the source told Breitbart News.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n It’s difficult to have a budget of $240 million and have no cash on hand.<\/p>\n The article notes:<\/p>\n Grenell has already made changes to the budget. He fired several\u00a0highly paid executives and slashed the payroll by $2.4 million, the source added.<\/strong><\/p>\n The fired executives include the Center\u2019s former president and general counsel.<\/strong><\/p>\n He will apparently hire new staff with salaries six figures lower than the salaries of those previously in the executive roles.<\/strong><\/p>\n New members of the\u00a0Kennedy Center Board of Trustees were also announced.<\/strong><\/p>\n Those include<\/a>\u00a0President 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n I am looking forward to a Kennedy Center that spotlights the best of American artistic talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In recent days we are learning a lot about how Washington, D.C. works.
