Now We Know Why the Obama Center Is So Ugly
Posted By: Hazymac, 6/21/2026 7:04:04 AM
The Obama Presidential Center finally opened to the public on Friday (not that you care), and the verdict from the internet was swift and brutal. People are calling it a "monstrous insult to architecture," a "concrete nightmare," and simply a "monstrosity." Social media has spent the week comparing the thing to a trash can and a dystopian movie set, which, having seen the photos, feels generous. It’s hideous. Naturally, the man who helped design the building's most mocked feature has a different take. Chris Bird, the Washington structural engineer who designed the upper portion of the center's towering centerpiece,

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has been at the center of a political fight for weeks, with Democrats insisting damage to the site is the result of poor contractor work and conservatives pointing to deliberate sabotage. Now Jesse Watters says he has video from the Department of the Interior showing two individuals acting suspiciously at the pool.
Watters walked viewers through the footage on Jesse Watters Primetime Tuesday night. His team hasn't independently verified the video, but what it appears to show is hard to dismiss. "June 19, a male, blue shirt, reaches in, stays there for a little while. He goes back down, comes back up multiple times,"
It would seem that Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (CA-17) has ambitions for higher office because he certainly has been going all in trying to get attention. Except that he doesn't seem to understand he's making all the wrong moves by embracing radical leftist things like redistributionist wealth tax grabs and the scandal-plagued Democrat candidate for Senate in Maine, Graham Platner. He might get some leftist support, but meanwhile, he's doing himself in with the center that would be vital in a general election.
Khanna has not helped himself with all his posts about what could be done by grabbing more money from people like Elon Musk. As many pointed out,

James Talarico wants Texans to believe he's a man of faith, a true Christian believer that Texans of all stripes can feel comfortable supporting. Unearthed audio suggests otherwise, and it’s a campaign killer, believe me.
Talarico, the Democrat nominee facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in November's Senate race, has spent months trying to sell Texans on his Christian faith. But his past words have muddied that message. Talarico has previously claimed "God is nonbinary," argued that the bible sanctioned abortion, and described surgically altering the bodies of gender-confused children as an expression of God's love.
A gunman identified as an Antifa member convicted of wounding a police officer during an attack on a Texas immigration detention facility last July 4 was sentenced to 100 years in federal prison on Tuesday.
The successful prosecution of the terrorism-related charges was seen as a victory for the Trump administration and a deterrent for violent extremist groups that could pave the way for future prosecutions.
“It was never intended that anybody get hurt. It was never intended that any shots would be fired.”
Meanwhile, no terrorism-related charges were announced on June 16 by the federal government in connection with a Minneapolis case with alleged Antifa ties.
Fifteen Minnesota suspects are charged
James Talarico is running for the Senate in this year’s elections in Texas. His radical far-left policies are bad enough, but his theology is even worse.
The New York Post is reporting on one of Talarico’s inspirations: a “TransQueer, Latinx” activist theologian upon whom Talarico lavished praise and befriended in 2021. The heretical dweeb even appeared on a podcast with scholar Roberto Henderson-Espinoza to gush over transgenderism, Latino ethnicity, and intersectionality in general. (X) Talarico fell head over heels for Espinoza’s book Activist Theology, which she wrote in 2019 under her given name, Robyn Henderson-Espinoza. The Post reports:

I don’t recall exactly when it was that I learned that it took a bit more than eight minutes for the sun’s light to reach us here on Earth. Sometime before high school, I think. Anyway, that pedestrian fact made a deep impression on me. I knew that light traveled at a fixed speed and that its operation wasn’t (quite) instantaneous, although in our quotidian lives, it seemed almost so.
But the fact that the sunlight we see all about us is eight minutes old made a deep and disconcerting impression on my young self. Who knows what might have happened to the Sun in the meantime?

Elon Musk recently became the world’s first trillionaire, and the prevalent hostility to great wealth found its largest object yet. The claims: he is too rich and too powerful for our democracy, and his wealth should be redistributed to others. But Musk’s personal wealth is not the most socially salient fact about him. He demonstrates how private wealth not only improves markets and consumer welfare but also democratic civilization.
However large his net worth, Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and related ventures have produced far more value for consumers, employees, shareholders, and the public than Musk himself possesses. The Nobel Laureate William Nordhaus has estimated that

For all my life, I have given little thought to how I get my electricity. That is true for most people. You flip a switch, and it is there, on demand, no questions asked. A big storm might hit your neighborhood and knock out power, but if that’s a concern, one has the option of installing a natural gas-powered backup generator. Speaking of natural gas, most people heat their homes with natural gas. It provides comfortable and reliable heating. As far as transportation goes, you probably don’t think much about that either. If you are like me, you stop into a gas station when you see that you are running
Bring Back the Patriarchy

I'd like to use Father’s Day to make a humble request: Let’s bring back the patriarchy. Whatever we currently have just isn’t working.
Empowering an odd collection of feminazis, soy boys, pronoun people, emotional nutcases, women pretending to be men, and men pretending to be women has produced a dysfunctional world that makes no sense. We’ve got gays celebrating Muslim jihadists who throw gays off buildings for sport. We’ve got “Me Too” pink-hat-ladies defending pedophiles and rapists from decorated military veterans now serving as ICE agents. We have male Democrat Party politicians harnessed with strange contraptions that allow them to “breastfeed” adopted babies.

One look at Kyle "I'm Antifa" Wagner using every conceivable grammatical use of the F word, and one can find how getting death threats, stalking, and conspiring to harm or kill federal officers appears to be a real threat. The feds sure think so, which is why the feds rolled up tough guy Kyle "aka Kaos," in Minneapolis this week and netted him a hat trick of charges.
He's one scary and unhinged-looking dude. Wagner was charged with solicitation to commit an act of violence, interstate threats, and conspiracy stemming from last winter's Minneapolis riots, "direct actions," and violence against federal agents from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other

The Left is actively striving to instigate extensive disorder and rebellion. The illegal immigration, protests, riots, urban destruction, the naked transgenders dancing on the White House lawn, the exaggerated rhetoric, and even the latest massive plan to attack the White House and kill government officials exhibit a sense of coordination, instilling fear in the largely uneducated populace of a mythical America—cultivated by the left-dominated education system over the past five or six decades that has taught hatred of country and capitalism.
We will explore the fundamental reasons behind the Left's inability to accept our Constitution and American culture.
The leadership on the left are communists and historically hate fascism.

WASHINGTON, DC - Earlier in June, the FBI announced the arrest of a 60-year-old fugitive found residing in the Philippines who fled the United States after failing to appear for his sentencing in connection with pleading guilty to numerous federal charges involving healthcare fraud back in 2019.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the arrest of 60-year-old Herbert Leon Kimble via social media on June 19th, highlighting how the apprehended fugitive was among those listed on the agency’s “Most Wanted Fraudsters” list.
According to authorities, Kimble had run a Medicare fraud scheme between 2014 and 2019, reportedly amassing $1.2 billion in ill-gotten gains

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for a massive increase in global climate spending, arguing that governments and financial institutions must devote significantly more resources to addressing climate-related challenges.
In a special address at London Climate Action Week on Monday, Guterres said that governments must invest more heavily in climate-related initiatives.
“We must do far more to protect people and communities from the here-and-now effects of climate chaos,” Guterres said. “Because even at full speed, we cannot outrun climate change. Its impacts are already here, compounding and cascading.”

Failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is still railing against the Electoral College, which cost her the presidency in 2016, calling it an "abomination" in a trailer for the new Netflix docuseries titled "The American Experiment." In a trailer for the upcoming series, which is executive-produced by Tom Hanks, Clinton remarks, "Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination. For obvious reasons." (Snip) The push for abolishing the Electoral College, which was instituted in 1787, has gained increased support in some corners of the left, especially after Clinton’s 2016 loss to President Donald Trump. Though Clinton won the national
The Zo-mentum is real.
Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.
Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.
Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede. The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate backed legislation on Tuesday directing President Donald Trump to halt U.S. military action against Iran, the latest rebuke of the Republican president from an increasingly restive Congress.
The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the war powers resolution, which passed the House of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Resolution
Eight of the ten Antifa members convicted of terrorism charges for an attack on a Texas ICE detention center were sentenced to at least 50 years in prison on Tuesday. The Antifa ringleader Benjamin Song was sentenced to 100 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, has blocked the Trump administration’s steps toward banning the purchase of soda with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, more commonly known as food stamps.

“USDA will not be backing down from the fight to Make America Healthy Again, including for families and communities reliant on SNAP,” the spokesperson continued.
The Montreal shooter’s manifesto makes it clear that he was a deranged leftist who was bitter against women, blaming capitalism and “white men” for the problems in his life, and that he was also antisemitic. Hatfield was a philosophy student at the University of Lethbridge, according to Rebel News.
Seth Hatfield from Alberta murdered a police officer, Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and a local Jewish man, Michael Mizrahi, on Monday in a crazed shooting spree in a Jewish section of Montreal. Police ended up killing Hatfield, too, during the shootout. Hatfield apparently left behind him a long, angry, and rambling manifesto condemning private property and the capitalist system, raging

WASHINGTON — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Tuesday that the feds have charged hundreds of defendants in recent weeks for seeking to bilk taxpayer-funded programs out of $6.5 billion. “This announcement marks the greatest combined federal and state effort in combating health care fraud in history,” Blanche told reporters at the Department of Justice’s headquarters in DC. “These individuals participated in health care fraud schemes involving over $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs.”

Major League Baseball Commissioner Robert Manfred responded to Missouri Senator Josh Hawley’s congressional investigation on Friday, doubling down on the MLB’s decisions to bar players from wearing Bible verses on their uniforms while allowing pride-themed uniforms to be worn. Manfred further blamed the San Francisco Giants for “inadequate” communication with its players for the recent controversy.
This comes after Giants starting pitcher Landen Roupp and relief pitchers JT Brubaker and Ryan Walker stood up to the League’s liberal agenda being foisted upon players and fans by writing verses from Genesis on their hats.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) announced that he has issued a subpoena forcing Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear publicly before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee next month. The move comes after the former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director abruptly backed out of a voluntary testimony agreement he had already made.Paul continues his quest as one of the very few members of Congress willing to hold Fauci accountable for his handling of the pandemic, if not for playing a significant role in unleashing it.
