Stop the Steal

 

July 29, 2026

 

I mentioned before that cutting off President Trump’s funding for frivolities might be the only way to get his attention and end the Iran war. I specified his Arch, but there’s also his ballroom, his Kennedy Center name change, the military parades and other self-aggrandizing moves that are costing the U.S. millions.

 

Now he wants a sign in front of the Smithsonian, warning of “inaccurate” history.

 

Setting aside the legality of lying about the exhibits, those installations aren’t cheap.

 

I’m serious. Congress should say, “No more spending on crap, Mr. President. We have a country to run while you’re trying to bankrupt it.” (I would mention the citizens, who are negatively affected in their everyday lives, but Congress hasn’t demonstrated too much concern, so that idea is a non-starter.)

 

Tighten his belt, Congress.
