Trump has run the Kennedy Center into the ground, failed artists + workers, and disgraced the memory of JFK. Can’t sell tickets. Can’t book performers. So to hide his utter failure he is shutting it down for “renovations.” I call BULLSHIT.

I hope you’ll join me in praying for swift healing for the deputy shot last night in Peoria. My thoughts are with every brave peace officer who works in service and protection of all people.

I’m not hiding. 🙄 The articles aren’t even written yet. I’m close with Robin and talked with her before she announced the intent and will be with her. Have to accept the processes.

The ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ folks have really turned into the ‘Comply or Die’ folks.
