The Trump Arch is about manipulating the public to honor returning soldiers from war.

The Brandenburg Gate was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia, the sandstone structure was built between 1788 and 1791 by royal architect Carl Gotthard Langhans. Langhans modeled the structure after the Propylaea—the monumental gateway to the Acropolis in Athens.

The World War I Homecoming (1918): Following the end of World War I, nine German military divisions marched through the gate on December 10, 1918. They were greeted by Friedrich Ebert, the head of the provisional government, who famously praised the returning troops as being "unconquered in the field of battle". The event took on the grand atmosphere of a victory celebration, even though Germany had just lost the war.

The East African Troops (1919): In March 1919, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck led his undefeated Schutztruppe (colonial troops from the East African theater) on a massive victory parade through the gate, which had been heavily decorated in their honor.

Prussian Victories (1814): After the defeat of Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, Prussian troops reclaimed the monument's stolen Quadriga statue and marched through the gate in a massive celebration of liberation

It is all very clever. Placing an arch in honor of soldiers returning from war is a huge attempt to rebrand the USA as a waring nation from that of a defensive nation. These monuments are supposed to be commissioned by Congress. This is more of Trump's Truth Social ego trip. How many of those that subscribe to Truth Social will lose sons and daughters to Trump's holy wars?

Amazing story. Everyone is safe and sound.

Flydubai Passengers Land in Israel After Suspected Midair Hijacking Attempt (click here)

Israeli passengers returned home on a replacement aircraft after a pilot allegedly tried to crash their flight from Dubai. Passengers described breaking into the cockpit to stop him...

Where is airport security?

Sky Marshalls that can take over for the pilot. That might be interesting.

There is a lot going on. The USA is out of Iraq. The Shi'ites don't want them there. It seems unclear as to what will come of the American Embassy. Then there is the incident in the UK and the authorities are unsure what exactly the alert was all about or why there were 4 masked men with a van near the military base. 

This is what happens when peace negotiations fail. 

The Shi'ites aren't sitting on the side lines anymore. Since, the Ayatollah was assassinated along with over one hundred girls the Shi'ites have the clear idea they are being systematically removed from life in Iran. Nasrallah is dead along with most of the people in his building, probably some children. There is a lot going on and it won't end without a peace treaty. The Saudis are having problems with the Houthis. This is all due to the assassinations under Trump. It is noteworthy the attacks on Iran were unprovoked and the treaty was eliminated under Trump's first term.

Just a reminder how corrupt Trump and his minions are.

 Manafort was involved with Russian oligarchs, too.

It is called racketeering.

Trump's Board of untrustworthy Trustees have proven they are not worth while in protecting this magnificent tribute to the Late President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. They robbed the foundations treasury. They ran fundraising to donors known to The Center, and they took USA Treasury money provided to the The Center. 

They raided the place and now they want to shut it down, assign the bankruptcy to problems with the building and repairs and do what they did to the East Wing to the Kennedy Center for the Arts. 

Sanctioned by the Republicans, including Musk, Trump is a low, down, dirty crook. 

REALIZE NOW THAT ALL THIS ACCURACY IS CONSIDERED PROPAGANDA. TRUMP AND HIS MINIONS ARE TURNING THE TRUTH ON IT'S HEAD FOR THIS VERY REASON. THE CORRUPTION AND CRUELTY DOES NOT STOP HERE. EVERY PLACE, EVERY THING, AND EVERYONE TRUMP ENCOUNTERS IS EXPLOITED FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS HE CAN GET.

WHERE ARE THE ARTIFACTS AND MUSEUM QUALITY ITEMS TRUMP TOOK FROM THE OVAL OFFICE? WHERE IS THE RECEIPT AND RECORDS FOR THEIR REMOVAL AND STORAGE AND ON GOING SECURITY OF ALL HE TOOK? THE SAME HOLDS TRUE FOR EVERY INSTITUTION HE COVETS, INCLUDING THE SMITHSONIANS. HE WANTS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM TO DISAPPEAR. 

Jack Smith's prosecution of stolen documents from the Presidential Archives is only the beginning.

Trump and the Board are responsible in raiding the treasury of The Center and driving the organization into bankruptcy. RESPONSIBLE. They have personal liability. They criminally took the monies and pocketed it. The DOJ is sanctioning the crimes. They all need to be replaced and sued for the problems they are and continue to cause.

The USA Attorney for DC is as corrupt if not more so for ignoring the crimes and allowing the bankruptcy to proceed knowing full well and investigation and arrests are in order.

In the 19 months (click here) since President Donald Trump took over the Kennedy Center, the institution has borrowed everything its bank would lend it, dipped into money donors had given on the condition it never be spent and written off pledges from supporters who stopped paying, according to confidential board documents and tax filings reviewed by The Washington Post....
