Don't worry, Kid Rock is still available
Hmmmm. Maybe Grenell should have considered the likely impact of that desecration naming.A veteran jazz ensemble and a New York dance company have canceled events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, intensifying the fallout at one of the nation’s pre-eminent arts centers after it was renamed to include President Trump.
The center had previously promoted two New Year’s Eve performances by the Cookers as an “all-star jazz septet that will ignite the Terrace Theater stage with fire and soul.” But those performances, like an annual Christmas Eve jazz concert hosted by Chuck Redd, are now canceled.
The Cookers did not give a reason for the decision in a statement on Monday that said, “Jazz was born from struggle and from a relentless insistence on freedom: freedom of thought, of expression, and of the full human voice.”
[...]
“Our hope is that this moment will leave space for reflection, not resentment,” the statement said. “To everyone who is disappointed or upset, we understand and share your sadness. We remain committed to playing music that reaches across divisions rather than deepening them.”
[...]
Doug Varone and Dancers, a New York dance company, also said on Monday that it was canceling two performances in April that had been intended to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Mr. Varone, the head of the company, said it would lose $40,000 by pulling out.
“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating,” he said in an email.
[...]
“We can no longer permit ourselves nor ask our audiences to step inside this once great institution,” he said.
[...]
Richard Grenell, the Kennedy Center’s chairman, said in a statement on Monday night that the artists canceling shows were “far-left political activists” and that they had been booked by previous leadership. “Boycotting the arts to show you support the arts is a form of derangement syndrome,” he said.

An earlier set of withdrawals and resignations, including the Pulitzer winner Rhiannon Giddens, the soprano Renée Fleming and the singer-songwriter Ben Folds, took place in February after the president pushed out members of the board of directors and replaced them with his supporters.

The real reason we don't attempt to protect Gaza
Expect a Trump Gaza hotel and a Trump Gaza golf course. On top of the graves of slaughtered Palestinian children.
UPDATE 12/30/2025:
These two bastards are "helping" Gazans.

Slowly we turn
On Wednesday, a federal judge in Pittsburgh blocked parts of the Justice Department’s invasive subpoena seeking personally identifiable information about those minor transgender patients at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who are or have received gender-affirming medical care.
U.S. District Judge Cathy Bissoon joined at least four other judges in ruling against the Justice Department’s unusual requests — and is the first known judge to do so in a case brought by the current and former patients.

Looking ahead
Thankfully, I don't have to watch to be able to answer his question. Yes, yes, I would like him to leave the presidency in order to do ANYTHING else, actually. But let's all praise his MC abilities, no matter what they are, if it will get him to leave the White House. Sadly, I'm pretty sure he means AFTER this term, because he still thinks he can stay forever if he wants.
PS Yeah, those are some GREATS in the lineup.

What she wants is a place in the White House.
Just the worst of humanity is crawling out from under every rock on the planet.
Unfucking believable
He should be watching out for MAGA with pitchforks when it doesn't happen for them.
And, this!
