But most of the times he sat on the ground fishing right there side me. A short bowlegged Cajun. Face looked like somebody had been jabbing in it with an ice pick. Had that big patch of hair out the left side of his head, his head white where the hair had been. Sitting there telling me about the people he had killed. I wasn’t a Christian then, I didn’t join the church till I came to Samson, but I used to say to myself: “My Lord, my Lord, will you just listen to this? You hear this man talking about killing men like you talk about killing snakes?” But no matter how he talked I would sit there and listen to him. Sometimes he would follow me up to the house and sit on my gallery and talk. Sometimes he would go round the house and sit in the back door while I fried fish for supper. If I said, “Mr. Albert, chop me piece of wood,” he would get out there and cut enough wood to last me a week. If I needed something from the store he would swing upon that mule and go get anything I needed. Sack of rice, flour, it didn’t matter, he would bring it all back. After I had cooked, he would sit right there in the back door and eat. Then we had our coffee. He liked his coffee strong, sweet sweet and black. Sometimes I got him off talking about killing. I would make him talk about fishing and raising crop. He could talk about anything. Because most of the people round here either fished or farmed for a living anyhow. But in the end killing always came back in Albert Cluveau’s mind. He wasn’t bragging about it, but he wasn’t sorry either. It was just conversation. Like if you worked in the sawmill you talked about lumber more than you talked about cane. If you worked at the derrick, naturally, you talked about cane more than you talked about trees. Albert Cluveau had killed so many people he couldn’t talk about nothing else but that.
–From The Autobiography of Jane Pittman, by Ernest J. Gaines (1971).

Spare me from that democratic hatefull cartoon. Total nonsence! Everyone knows the ball room TRUMP is building comes from private sector. Ignorance & Stupitity is alive on here on this platform. Because of the Schumer shutdown snap will not be funded. As the jackasses hold the off the payments to the children, so they have leverage. What lunacy!!!! We Americans are not subsdising illegal healthcare. These folks deserve a trip back home & nothing more…77 million Americans voted to clean up the crap from the Biden Whitehouse. We are now watching a new leaner America, one that puts Americans before Bidens Invaders. They payed shit into the system, yet they want American BENIFITS. TRUMP is taking care of Americans, he,s looking for money to funde snap.Just like he funded the military. The Jackasses cant stand how Trump has managed in a few months all of his accomplishments. They are in awe. From tariffs, to blowing up drug boats to cleaning out the crime in the big democratic cities. The more you folks hate TRUMP, the more he does for America.

The last time the White House public and private quarters were fully renovated was between 1948-1952 by the Truman administration. 75 years of wear and tear is unbecoming of the status of the White House. Possibly leaving it even a bit shabby.
Trump has the ability to renovate the tired and worn areas with private donations, saving the US taxpayers millions and will leave the People house the shining beacon it should be.
He has developed some of the premier properties throughout the world and has access to talented designers, architects, engineers and tradesman. Why shouldn’t we want him to have a “hobby”? Because he is Trump?
The opposition has fixed opinions and narrow perspective and are unwilling to consider other viewpoints. Senator Eric Swalwell is incredibly myopic with his call for the next nominee to pledge they will take a wrecking ball to the new ballroom, day one.
Actually he’s an asshole and an embarrassment.
Take some time and compare the Lincoln bathroom both prior and after. First notice what it looked like before and the tasteful renovation of today and note it did not cost taxpayers anything. What a transformation, it’s timeless. No gold toilet.
The disputed ballroom is needed for events at the White House. The current largest indoor space holds 200 people forcing larger venues to use tents on the south lawn. The new facility will have a 900 person capacity and will be the crown jewel for entraining foreign leaders, dignitaries and social events. After all, we are the United States.
All the naysayers need to relax and let the project play out. I’m willing to bet, none of the negative comments will “age” well. Silence on nonsensical issues will prove to be sage advice. Stop swinging at every pitch, just swing at the strikes. Stop taking the wrong side on the 80/20 issues.
