Dems’ Ballroom Hate Is the Saddest Proof Yet of Their State of TDS Mental Unwellness

Authored by Stephen Kruiser via PJMedia.com,

There was a time not so long ago when the Democrats were formidable and — I’m not kidding here — occasionally enjoyable political foes. During the Tea Party years, we would often encounter Dem activists and hang out with them for a while. Sometimes we would even socialize. The Democrats of recent yesteryear bore no resemblance to the feral, frothing rage mob that the No Kings/Resist Dems are today. 

It’s both stunning and depressing that America’s oldest, continuously-running political party could undergo a wholesale personality change in just a decade because its entire focus was the hatred of one man, but here we are. There’s an oft-repeated line here on the right that says if President Trump cured cancer, the Democrats would suddenly be pro-cancer. It’s the kind of absurdist illustration that I’ve enjoyed using throughout my career but find almost impossible to apply to the Democrats anymore. They’re just that far gone. 

Which is why they are up in arms about the building of a ballroom. This is from Sarah:

President Donald Trump has been having a great time building the new White House Ballroom in recent months, but anytime the president is having a good time doing something, a judge comes in and stops him. Apparently, that expands to this $400 million, 90,000 square-foot construction project that is said to be fully funded by private donors.  

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon determined on Tuesday that no statute comes close to allowing Trump to carry out this project  of his own accord, and that construction must be halted until Congress approves the completion.

So, I guess we’re just stuck with a half-finished project?  

Well, we’re stuck with a half-finished project until this cockamamie ruling gets overturned, which is how this dance usually goes. I would like to note that every one of these Trump Derangement Syndrome judges looks like either a Harry Potter villain or a skin suit tailor from The Silence of the Lambs. 

I’m no legal expert, but much of Leon’s ruling reads like a tantrum in a feelings journal. Everything is just so overwhelmingly emo with these people. It’s both tedious and exhausting. In fact, if there were an animal representation of “tedious and exhausting,” it would be a perfect new mascot for the Democratic Party.

Let’s just look at the surface of this. The lefties are furious that a place for formal dancing is being built in the most important residence in the United States of America. A residence that frequently hosts world leaders for formal events. That’s like showing up to a kid’s birthday party and being deeply offended by the presence of a jumping castle. 

One has to be severely broken inside to be angered by the thought of a place designed specifically for people to have some wholesome fun. Wholesome fun that reflects well on the Republic, to boot. At this point, Congressional Democrats should be showing up to work in straitjackets. For a while, I kept writing that the Dems’ TDS behavior was an ongoing cry for help. That’s inaccurate though — they are addicted to their misery and don’t want to be helped. 

Also, as we have discussed on many occasions, hating Trump is their strategy.

Bill Maher recently chastised the execrable Adam Schiff for prioritizing pushing back on President Trump.

Maher said, “That’s all you Democrats have, is ‘F*** Trump’.” Schiff just sat there looking like the one-note moron that he is.

It would be nice to think that we live in a time where we could find common ground with our political adversaries. We don’t, though, and that is 100% the Democrats’ fault.

The problem isn’t just that they hate us, it’s obvious that they hate themselves as well. People who like themselves don’t pathologically seek misery the way that the Democrats do here in the Year of our Lord 2026. We can’t help them be happy. 

We can, however, win a few more elections and keep giving them things to complain about. That’s probably a kindness at this point.

Alcatraz Island via US National Park Service (Mel Mashman)
President Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget request, released on Friday, asks Congress to spend $152 million to reopen Alcatraz as a “state-of-the-art secure prison facility.”
The President has long embraced tough lock-up conditions for violent criminals “as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.”
Last May, President Trump called the Bureau of Prisons to reopen the original Alcatraz off the coast of San Francisco to house the “dregs of society.” He said in a Truth Social Post, “We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals, who came into our Country illegally. The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.
The historic facility is known for being surrounded by ice-cold water, strong tidal currents, and, sometimes, Great White sharks, making escape nearly impossible. Mob boss Al Capone was once housed in the famed former federal prison, which is now a tourist attraction and museum.
The President’s latest request, which will ultimately require congressional approval, reads, “For years, the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) has housed violent criminals in crumbling detention facilities. Building on a $5 billion investment secured in the President’s WFTC, the Budget further invests in BOP to ensure competitive pay, safe working conditions, and an end to longstanding correctional officer shortages. Within this level, the Budget also affirms the President’s commitment to rebuild Alcatraz as a state-of-the-art secure prison facility, providing $152 million to cover the first year of project costs.”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed the President’s proposal on Friday, calling the idea “stupid” and demanding its rejection.
“I will work with my colleagues in the Congress to use every parliamentary and budgetary tactic available to block this lunacy,” she declared.
The Trump Administration’s budget proposal is absurd on its face and should be rejected outright.
Rebuilding Alcatraz into a modern prison is a stupid notion that would be nothing more than a waste of taxpayer dollars and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
Alcatraz is a historic museum that belongs to the public, and San Franciscans will not stand for Washington turning one of our most iconic landmarks into a political prop.
At a time when communities are demanding real investments in public safety, this Administration is pushing a cartoonish throwback that does nothing to address the challenges facing working families.
I will work with my colleagues in the Congress to use every parliamentary and budgetary tactic available to block this lunacy.

Hamideh Soleimani Afshar (X)
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has canceled the permission granted to several members of Qasem Soleimani’s family to live in the United States, and they are in custody pending deportation flights.
Soleimani was among the top officials of the Islamic regime until he was eliminated on the orders of President Donald Trump during his first term.
Now Rubio has issued a statement that his family members are being removed.
“Until recently, Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter were green card holders living lavishly in the United States. Afshar is the niece of deceased Iranian Major General Qasem Soleimani. She is also an outspoken supporter of the Iranian regime who celebrated attacks on Americans and referred to our country as the ‘Great Satan.’ This week, I terminated both Afshar and her daughter’s legal status and they are now in ICE custody, pending removal from the United States. The Trump Administration will not allow our country to become a home for foreign nationals who support anti-American terrorist regimes,” he said.

report at Just the News noted the State Department confirmed, “Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status. Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.”
State Department officials confirmed she has been promoting Iranian regime propaganda while living a life of luxury in the U.S.
Further, she “celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian Supreme Leader, denounced America as the ‘Great Satan,’ and voiced her unflinching support for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terror organization.”
Her husband also has been blocked from entering the U.S.
The Washington Examiner said the Iranians were arrested Friday night.
Afshar came to the U.S. on a tourist visa in 2015 and a judge in 2019 gave her asylum.
“In 2021, she became a green card holder under the Biden Administration,” Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “In July 2025, she filed a naturalization application where she disclosed she traveled to Iran at least four times since being issued a green card. Her trips to Iran illustrate her asylum claims were fraudulent.”
The report added, “Afshar’s daughter, Sarinasadat Hosseiny, also entered the U.S. in the summer of 2015 through a student visa and was granted asylum in 2019.”

On “Little House on the Prairie,” Michael Landon was the boss — but behind the scenes, he was the class clown.Patrick Labyorteaux, who starred as Andy Garvey in the hit series, recently posted a video on his YouTube channel about how the beloved TV patriarch let loose and became a prankster when cameras stopped rolling.”Everybody knows that Michael Landon is an amazing actor,” said Labyorteaux. “When people think of Michael, they think of ‘Pa,’ and they think of the good, strong family man who would never play a practical joke on anybody. But that wasn’t Michael.”‘LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE’ STAR REVEALS WILD FRIENDSHIP WITH JIM MORRISON BEFORE WHOLESOME TV FAME”On the set, Michael was always telling jokes, doing these crazy things, the 60-year-old shared. “And one of his favorite targets was our script supervisor, Mary [Yerke]. And Mary was this delightful woman who stood about two feet tall, and she had this huge script.”Labyorteaux said Landon would quietly put rocks in saddlebags on her chair. When she carried her chair between filming locations, she thought it suddenly weighed a ton.”She’s dragging her chair,” Labyorteaux recalled. “She’s got about 10 pounds of rocks in her chair with her scripts, which are really heavy. And I remember her saying, ‘Man, I must be getting old. These chairs are getting so heavy.’ And Michael would just laugh and laugh and laugh.”WATCH: ‘LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE’ CHILD STAR SAYS SET WAS LIKE ‘MAD MEN’”She would drag the chair along with her,” he said. “Michael thought this was hysterical.”Landon then took his jokes to the next level.”Michael, this one time, had a real stern look on his face,” said Labyorteaux.”He looked over at Mary and called her over. He wasn’t saying anything. Mary went over with her script and said, ‘Yeah, boss.’ “He leaned in and opened his mouth. Out flew this tiny frog — we had thousands of them in Simi Valley. He’d put it in his mouth and just about scared the life out of her.””It was like the best kids’ joke ever,” he gushed. “Frogs jumping out of Michael Landon’s mouth? Yes, please. I’ll have some more.”CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER”Little House on the Prairie” chronicled the adventures of the Ingalls family in the 19th-century Midwest. Despite its wholesome storytelling, life was different on set.”It was the ’70s,” Alison Arngrim, who played mean girl Nellie Oleson, told Fox News Digital in 2024.”People drank, people smoked. [Landon] did all of these things. It was kind of strange — you’re on set, and people are standing around with cigarettes and glasses of gin. It seemed odd, but that was TV in the ’70s. It was like ‘Mad Men.'””[Landon] was so not Pa,” she insisted at the time. “But then, if you think about it, what a brilliant performance. Here was this man who came to work in his unbuttoned shirt, gold chains and Ferrari with his Marlboros — and then he turned into Pa Ingalls in a matter of minutes.”Landon passed away at age 54 from pancreatic cancer in 1991. The actress described her late co-star as a straight shooter who smoked heavily and battled insecurities.”Michael was in many ways a Hollywood person,” the now-64-year-old explained. “Yes, he owned a Ferrari. He had fast cars. But the show was therapy for people. And I believe it was therapy for Michael in a lot of ways. [What surprised me] was that insecurity, because he was so powerful.LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS”He was the executive director. He was the producer. He was the writer and star of the show. He was everything. He was loved by millions, absolutely gorgeous, very much in charge. He’d be cracking jokes. He had a wonderfully twisted, warped sense of humor. He was hilarious.””But you could see that there were moments when he was trying so hard, ‘Will this be good enough?'” Arngrim continued. “He wanted it to be good enough to be perfect. And you could see that there were times when he’d get that look like, ‘Oh, my God, maybe this isn’t going to be perfect.’ And I think that was maybe the thing that drove him — maybe scared him. That it wouldn’t be perfect.”Decades later, Arngrim still views the beloved patriarch as “complicated and fascinating.””That was the most fun you could have on a set without getting arrested,” she said. “[He was all about] the jokes, the foolishness, always wanting to make the kids laugh … and then being very supportive and respectful at the same time. And then being an absolute taskmaster … all at the same time, all day long. I don’t think I’ve met anybody [else] quite like him.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo exploded on the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, insisting that he’s healthy enough to play but the team keeps him on the bench.Antetokounmpo was benched for the 10th straight game as the team took on the Boston Celtics. The team has said that the NBA star has been dealing with a left knee hyperextension and a bone bruise. He hasn’t played since March 15, but has warmed up with the team without exhibiting any obvious signs of injury.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM”I’ve never seen a case of a player saying, my caliber of player, that’s like — I’m saying it publicly — I want to f—ing play. You know what I’m saying?” he said, via The Athletic. “I don’t think I’ve seen this. So, if there needs to be an investigation, great. There should be. I don’t know. There should be. Until we figure something out.”He insisted he was “available to play.”Bucks head coach Doc Rivers addressed Antetokounmpo’s comments after the team’s 133-101 loss to the Celtics.”The tough part about all this is that I’m in the middle and I have nothing to do with it,” Rivers said. “Coaches don’t decide any of this. The problem with our league is the coaches are the ones sitting out front. And we have to sit here and answer this stuff. I think there are two sides to this, I will tell you that, but I don’t want to get too involved in it.”Rivers added that he didn’t like that the feud had gone “public.””This is where grown men get in a room and they talk it out. Whether they agree or disagree, that doesn’t matter. But this should not be public, and I don’t like that.”The Bucks were still in contention on March 15 when they played the Indiana Pacers. But a string of losses had them mathematically eliminated from the postseason.Multiple reports indicated that the NBA launched an investigation into the Bucks’ handling over Antetokounmpo’s status. The Bucks told the league they do not believe he’s ready to play, ESPN reported Friday.The situation also drew the attention of the National Basketball Players Association last month.GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO BOOS HOME FANS AFTER BASKET AMID TRADE RUMORS: ‘I DON’T THINK IT’S FAIR'”The Player Participation Policy was designed by the league to hold teams accountable and ensure that when an All-Star like Giannis Antetokounmpo is healthy and ready to play, he is on the court,” the union said in a statement. “Unfortunately, anti-tanking policies are only as effective as their enforcement; fans, broadcast partners, and the integrity of the game itself will continue to suffer as long as ownership goes unchecked. We look forward to collaborating with the NBA on meaningful new proposals that will directly address and discourage tanking.”Antetokounmpo has been one of the most dominant players in the league in recent years and was the main reason why the Bucks were able to win a championship in 2021.”The Greek Freak’s” name has also been mentioned in trade rumors over the last year. The team has ultimately kept him and he will be eligible to sign a four-year, $275 million contract extension in October.He could become a free agent after the 2026-27 season if the team chooses not to re-sign him, or the Bucks could end up trading him after all.Antetokounmpo made clear he was unsure where his relationship with the franchise goes from here.”We’ve got to go to couples therapy.”The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
