Interesting bits about the Mellons, members of America's first aristocracy, or ruling class. Fortunately, along came the Roosevelts (first Theodore, then Franklin), also members of the aristocracy, but more concerned (after some influence by others) with the needs of the many.
The following was posted by a friend on FB. It’s probably just a conspiracy theory, but who knows?:
“IT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT A BALLROOM. The White House East Wing was built in 1942 to disguise the simultaneous construction of an underground bunker and operations center, underneath it. And just like then, the Ballroom being built now is a distraction to cover up a new and improved bunker.
Of course, Trump didn’t go through the National Monuments historical preservation channels because the plans for his bunker would have been exposed to too many people. There would be no way to hide the ballroom plans.
Why the rush? IF elections happen next year, he WILL lose Congress, elections must not happen. While presidential elections cannot be canceled or postponed, midterm elections can…for emergencies like "war". So, Trump is trying to create the appearance of an emergency by staging a nationwide military coup under the guise of putting down a "rebellion" or "insurrection".
Hegseth has now barred both the press and Congress from the Pentagon. ALL Pentagon staff are prohibited from communicating with either the press or Congress as well. Any leader with even a hint of "disloyalty" is being purged. To that end, multiple lie-detector tests have been used. He even has threatened to fire "fat generals". And any service member who mocks Charlie Kirk or other MAGA leaders is being discharged.
Hegseth and Trump have been seeing how far they can push officers to follow illegal orders by having our ships fire on and destroy boats in international waters, killing the people on board. So far, these air strikes have killed dozens of people.
All international laws are being ignored. These boats are not boarded. Nothing is taken in evidence. Occupants are not identified. No formal charges or arrests are made. There is no due process for their lawful prosecution. Most importantly, any crimes with which they could be charged don’t carry the death penalty! Simply stated, they are being MURDERED.
Will they kill foreigners and citizens in our own country if Trump says they are criminals and terrorists? Trump said Hegseth should use our own cities as "training grounds" for the Military. He has attempted to send troops into several cities with Democratic mayors, and has even said out loud he wanted them to use full strength. Does that mean live ammunition on our own people?
According to Federal records viewed by the Daily Beast, in the nine months between Jan. 20 and Oct. 18, Homeland Security and ICE spent $71,515,762 on “small arms, ordnance, and ordnance accessories,” including military supplies, undisclosed types of weapons, and ammunition.
Trump keeps floating a declaration of the Insurrection Act and military invasion of American cities nearly every day. He and his VP have upped their rhetoric, accusing ALL Democrats of being the "enemy within", “antifa terrorists", “Hamas agents” and "radical violent lunatics" - all intended to divide us and make MAGA folks fear/hate Democrats.
Trump has been planning to take and keep the presidency from the moment he lost the 2020 election. The January 6th assault and breach of our Capitol was a last ditch effort to stop the certification of the election that day. This came after the scheme to replace official state electors with slates of fake electors failed, and VP Pence refused to go along with Trump's order to overturn the election.
Trump will use ANY MEANS - to hold on to the office this time around. He has proven that. He has three goals that motivate him - power, wealth, and revenge. Nothing he does is for the MAGA folks - they are just his pawns. And he is not here to make America "great", but to plunder it and own it.
In his view, there must be no midterm elections next year. Thus, he needs war-time conditions. And that war will be right here on US soil, and he needs a proper bunker for himself. Not the 60-year-old WWII bunker, but a lavish, opulent, HUGE bunker, for him and perhaps a few of his billionaire friends.
Oh, and the Ballroom, that will dwarf the White House, will serve as a proper Great Hall and Throne Room in which to receive tributes from future supplicants as well.
Sources told CBS News: “The bunker under the East Wing will also be upgraded. The White House Military Office is handling the renovation of the bunker, which is known as the President's Emergency Operations Center. And the price tag has just jumped to $300 million dollars.”
Agree with you absolutely. The Rump hid in "the bunker" around the time of the George Floyd protests. It looks awfully small and poky. He would have been appalled, disgusted. There's room (and money) apparently for an entire underground marble and gold-splashed White Arse down there now.
What The Rump is really angry and frightened about is his own demise. One brother died at 42 (alcoholism) and the other at 71. The Rump is threshing about, screaming, in a tantrum.
What I am fantasising is the military turning on him, saying, "No. You are ridiculous and offensive. We will not do what you decree.
"We swore an oath to the Constitution and you are violating that Constitution; you have also destroyed all checks and balances that the justice system and Congress should provide. We are locking you up and throwing away the key."
Exactly. And if he doesn’t succeed in starting a war within the US, he’ll start one with Venezuela (he wants their oil). That’s partially why he’s been killing all the boaters. And it appears the Venezuelan dictator is falling right into the trap.
I think he's also just gone psychotic; the entire planet, the entire universe is his enemy and he wants to cause maximum damage, maximum pain. And get maximum attention. Hopefully praise and gratitude, but anything will do as long as it's loud and there's lots of it. Fear. Anger. Grief… all grist to his mill.
His real enemy is Time. Not time to the next stirring up of trouble, or the next election… just time to his own demise.
The Nicolás Maduro regime said Sunday Venezuela has captured a group of alleged mercenaries with ties to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and accused Washington and Trinidad and Tobago of coordinating military exercises intended to provoke an armed confrontation in the Caribbean.
Then the Maduro regime should immediately murder those mercenaries, blow them up, because they were obviously smuggling US drugs into Venezuela. Adderall, ketamine, Xanax, who cares?
Just as those people in boats off the Venezuelan coast were "obviously" smuggling drugs into the US.
I understand your methods and under any other scenario, that might work, but you’re dealing with Trump…the greatest liar and most corrupt president in our history.
Assuming Maduro takes any action (as you suggest), that means he would be firing weapons. Firing weapons…even at his own citizens in boats…would be construed by Trump as an act of war, especially if American vessels are anywhere close to the action.
In other words, Trump would lie and say Venezuela is firing at our vessels & declare war (Congress is only authorized to formally declare war, but they have acquiesced to Trump every step of the way).
Maybe you’re right, but it’s a desperate chance to take.
That picture of Mellon, (that’s captioned ‘as seen in Mary Poppins,’) if he was shaved, face and head, he’d give Rick Scott a run for his money as Nosferatu.
Now I know why the Amelia Earhart files were released.
Each morning, I search the incoming posts to see if you are there yet. And if you are, I read you first. You help to make my day a little less depressing and a little more hopeful. Thank you.
This article shows that racism pays. The people who are the most racist are connected to Trump and billionaires. Racism is the cornerstone of Old money in this country. None of this is surprising, but it sure as hell is depressing.
Reporters need to start asking troops how much they received. That is the only way the truth will be known about the flow of funds. As well as news orgs asking for documents via Freedom of Information Act.
I bet most would refuse the measly 100 as that is all they would get out of the money when it is divided up...that's if they even offer it to the troops
"Offer it to the troops"? No way. If HogsBreath has learned enough from his Daddy he'll spend it on a gold desk and throne, hair gel, skin cream, eyeliner, a corset and some… massage.
It's an effort to bribe them … to stop them declaring he's smashed the Constitution… to stop them from throwing him behind bars and declaring martial law.
Dear God, let’s presume these financial supporters of the PedoPoopgatePrez are ALL on the Epstein List. Timothy shows evil and hate are hereditary. The Parisian “tribute” of PPP shows the social truth that its been pigging out on too much burgers, fries & cake while flaunting its disregard for 99% of Americans (helped by its aristocracy). Vive la France.
I was brought up with rules, morals, social mores and lovable pride. Methinks the stories I read in the 70's about the trump family were true enough, and even then THEY BOUGHT 47 his popularity.
The Mellon name should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. Generational wealth poisoning democracy. $130 million funneled through a flag to buy silence from the troops. Patriotism for sale, no refunds.
Heirlooms of cruelty funding the same old empire rot.
And Trump still plays the bloated golden calf like it’s a national anthem.
Blessed be the ones who know money isn’t loyalty, and faith without ethics is just laundering.
I'm originally from the Pittsburgh Area and quite aware of the many things that the Mellon's have done both good and bad. But this takes the cake. I am so angry with all the bribery that has been going on and all the lack of accountability on who has the the money and power to wrangle our leader into doing all things that are nefarious and evil. NEVER AGAIN will I believe anyone who says that a Businessman would be a better candidate (and they should also say those that are overly flush with cash) that don't need it. It's a true sign of quest for greed and power and NEVER taking responsibility for ANYTHING they do! Oh and one more thing that makes me furious is that they NEVER take BLAME for any of it.

Hey God. You are my little piece of daily sanity. Between you and Borowitz, my day is made.
Keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll keep fighting the good fight!

NO conspiracy, no!

Energetically Pressure Spite-ridden Trump. Epstein Isn't Negotiable.

Good job on this article God!

Every donation to Taco Tits is a bribe. P.S. Comparing him to a pig is incredibly cruel to the pig. He's more like a giant parasitic botfly.

It just seems so unseemly lately:
I was brought up with rules, morals, social mores and lovable pride. Methinks the stories I read in the 70's about the trump family were true enough, and even then THEY BOUGHT 47 his popularity.
Righteous trouble!!
The empire always mistakes destruction for strength.
Every tyrant builds monuments that outlive their purpose but never their shame.
Ballrooms crumble. Symbols rot.
But every time a citizen lifts a sign or a voice, resurrection gets another foothold.
Blessed be the ones who march when the palace starts sinking.
The Mellon name should come with a Surgeon General’s warning. Generational wealth poisoning democracy. $130 million funneled through a flag to buy silence from the troops. Patriotism for sale, no refunds.
Heirlooms of cruelty funding the same old empire rot.
And Trump still plays the bloated golden calf like it’s a national anthem.
Blessed be the ones who know money isn’t loyalty, and faith without ethics is just laundering.
I'd like to point out that the last time the GOP held all three branches of government was 1928. And we all know what happened in 1929.
