Wellness update...
If you watch the show or have been reading the newsletter for a while you know I have been on my own MAHA/wellness journey. One of the big things I have done is switched out many of the personal care products (soap, toothpaste, vitamins, etc) and home care products (cleaning supplies, detergent) with products from an American based, family company where wellness is front and center.
If you are interested in finding out what I did, text INFO to 276-500-1185 and join me!

Democrats can’t handle Trump’s White House addition...
Democrats are having a bit of a rough year.
Leaderless, rudderless, and now championing a government shutdown, it’s safe to say their party has seen better days.
It doesn’t look like things will be getting better any time soon.
Their latest antics show just how disconnected they are—both from the American people and reality.
You may have heard that Trump is working on an update to the White House: a 90,000 square feet ballroom for state events replacing the East Wing.
Blueprints and plans show a beautiful space that will be used by presidents for years to come.
Oh, and one other big factor?
Trump’s funding it privately; it’s not costing the taxpayer a dime.
Still, to hear Democrats talk about it, you’d think he was putting a match to the White House.
They’ve been up in arms this week, “outraged” that Trump would dare renovate.
It’s either fake outrage, or real hypocrisy fueled by Trump derangement syndrome.
Let’s break it down.
A welcome (and precedented) update…
So what exactly is this new addition going to look like?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words— here’s a few mock ups:
Looks great to me.
But the left’s reaction makes it seem like Trump’s move is outrageous and unprecedented.
Not exactly.
People have pointed out that many Presidents have made changes to the White House—and at taxpayer expense no less.
Benny Johnson compiled a neat list, including Roosevelt’s West Wing, Taft’s Oval Office, FDR’s East Wing and private pool, Truman’s full White House rebuild, Nixon’s bowling alley, and Obama’s basketball court.
Where was Democrat outrage then?
Is a beautiful, privately funded ballroom offensive, but a taxpayer funded basketball court isn’t?
It’s just the latest example of the left’s double standard when it comes to Trump.
The White House even came out to set the record straight, recording all the historical renovations the building has undergone… plus some *unorthodox* behavior it’s seen from past presidents.
The video really puts it in perspective.
Or, here’s a map showing just how much the White House has changed over the years.
The bottom line?
This is completely normal—in fact the only unprecedented part of it is that it’s privately funded.
Democrats are mad at something that isn’t costing the taxpayers a dime.
Go figure.
Widespread democrat outrage…
It’s not just a few lefties that are annoyed.
Democrats across the spectrum are livid at Trump’s plan.
According to Hillary Clinton, he’s “destroying” the White House.
First, he’s not destroying the White House— he’s adding on.
That point aside, people were quick to point out that given what her husband was doing in the White House, Hillary might wanna sit this one out.
Several X users also remembered that the Clintons were caught stealing furniture and china from the White House after their stay. . .again with the hypocrisy.
But the left just can’t help themselves.
Maria Shriver said that the renovation “breaks her heart”.
Feels like a slightly extremely reaction, no?
But maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on the left.
They seem to have a little trouble when it comes to aesthetic judgment calls.
Exhibit A?
Barack Obama’s presidential library:
If this is the kind of architecture the left likes, no wonder they’re repulsed by the beautiful neoclassical architecture that Trump’s bringing back.
But I’d venture to say that most people would prefer Trump’s building over this bad copy of a North Korean guard tower.
The bottom line.
Senator Hawley was asked about Trump’s White House addition by a reporter and I think he nailed his response.
You can watch the full exchange here.
His answer?
“These are the same people who tore down every statue they could get their hands on in the last four years.”
“Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt.”
“They didn’t have any concern for history then. Now all of a sudden, they’re like, oh, the facade of the East Wing is iconic.”
He’s right on.
And it just highlights how ridiculous the left’s fake outrage is.
They hate Trump so much, they have to turn everything he does into an attack on America.
But if you ask me, that game is getting pretty old.
My suggestion to the Democrats?
Spend more time and energy on getting the government back in business—Americans are more concerned about getting their paychecks than they are about your latest anti-Trump crusade.
