More threats from America's dictator

Construction crews at the White House are working 20 hours a day on a ballroom the Chief Justice says is likely illegal.

Five justices let the work continue Monday by ruling that nobody has the right to sue over it, but never decided whether the ballroom is legal. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that federal law forbids erecting a building on park grounds in Washington without express authority from Congress, and Congress has passed no such law.

Donald Trump won again by ignoring the rules and building faster than the courts could stop him. This time he spent at least $300 million of our money on a project he promised would not touch the East Wing or cost taxpayers a dime.

U.S. Rep. Andy Barr ran hard on President Donald Trump’s endorsement when he won the GOP primary for U.S. Senate in Kentucky earlier this year. His campaign website prominently displayed that he is “Trump-Endorsed” with a photo of Barr standing side-by-side with the president as recently as July 8.

Now, it’s a picture of Barr with two of his children, and instead of trumpeting the endorsement and being “100% America First,” the lead text reads that Barr is “Kentucky First Always.”

Donald Trump asked the FCC to punish a journalist for doubting him.

Kristen Welker reported on NBC that his primary endorsement record was mixed. Six of his candidates lost Republican primaries in August. Trump called her a "Hostess," accused her of "purposeful inaccuracy," and said she would be reported to the FCC "for rebuke or punishment."

In June she interviewed him in a Wisconsin barn and asked for evidence of his claim that California was rigging its primary count. He told her "you're either crooked or you're stupid," said he'd had enough, and walked out with "Thank you, darling." He handled that one himself. Now he wants FCC Chair Brendan Carr to handle it for him.
