Happy #MemorialDay to all - Beef prices hit record highs in Memorial Day weekend squeeze - we can afford $29 billion and counting for the #IranWar, $1.5 billion for a Jan 6 slush fund; another billion for a new Whitehouse ballroom and a #TriumphalArch. Meanwhile, #Trump and his family have made countless questionable stock trades and have banked almost $4 billion since his return to office. How is it that #republicans can simply overlook the grift and obvious corruption? #beef #affordability #RepublicansDidThis #RepublicansOwnThis #TrumpRegime https://qz.com/memorial-day-beef-prices-record-high-grilling-costs

The Commission of Fine Arts on Thursday approved President Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot triumphal arch in Washington, even after the president rejected the panel’s suggestion to make the structure smaller by removing a towering, winged angel and two golden eagles.
The arts panel, which is filled with Mr. Trump’s appointees, has an advisory role on the design of the project but no enforcement power. The same panel also fast-tracked approval of Mr. Trump’s $400 million ballroom, bypassing the normal review process on a project that would transform the profile of the White House.https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/us/politics/trump-arch-approved.html?unlocked_article_code=1.kFA.WIhY.vrcmTNHpkle3&smid=url-share #GiftArticle #TriumphalArch #Ostentation #ego #Trump

Happy Sunday night in the USA. Looks like the #TrumpRegime will be taking us back to an insanely expensive and unnecessary vanity #IranWar this coming week - as renewed hostilities look inevitable at this point. This Al-Jazeera video breaks it down. BTW, 70% of Americans don’t want anything to do with continued war, according to multiple polls. Tone deaf #Republicans who can’t read the room are moving forward, with Dem traitor Fetterman’s support, to authorize even more war expenditures; to provide the #Pentagon with a $1.5 trillion budget (presumably for more wars), and to clamp down on any proper oversight of the process. Add to this folly & chaos the #Trump ballroom, his #TriumphalArch, his IRS suit, and his massive grift…and folks, we’re being taken to the cleaners. When we can least afford it. #BadNews #USPol

Why is Trump risking a blowout defeat for Republicans this fall, while obsessing about monuments to himself? Todd Beeton says:
"Trump knows very well he will never be on a presidential ballot again.
How do we know this?
Because his every move demonstrates just how little he cares about political outcomes and instead is singlemindedly focused on his legacy."

"Trump is a failed dictator — but he is still president, and he’s propped up by stooges like Blanche who are ready and willing to make good on his most rage-fueled and irrational desires. The next two years, therefore, may be among the most trying of the slow-motion disaster that has been the Trump Era."

"Just as Hitler’s failures led him to resent the German people ever more strongly and destructively, we can expect Trump’s growing frustration to result in ever more nihilistic and destructive actions as his term moves toward its end."

"the two share a late-regime obsession with rewriting history and building monuments to justify their utterly failed rule.
Hence the increasingly frantic effort of a crew of cronies, now being led by Blanche, to validate Trump’s victimhood thesis."

Letters from an American – October 13, 2025 – Heather Cox Richardson
Letters from an AmericanLetters from an American, October 13, 2025
By Heather Cox Richardson, Oct 13, 2025
Last Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump showed to Canadian officials a plan for a triumphal arch that would sit on the banks of the Potomac River opposite the Lincoln Memorial in a traffic rotary at the Virginia end of the Arlington Memorial Bridge below Arlington National Cemetery. The idea, apparently, is to build the arch to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States in July 2026.
On Thursday, the White House press pool reported, the plan was laid out on Trump’s desk in the Oval Office. The massive stone arch appears to be the same height as or taller than the Lincoln Memorial. Early in the morning on Saturday, October 11, Trump posted on social media an artist’s rendering of what such an arch might look like, complete with what appears to be a gold winged victory statue at the top of the arch.
Triumphal arches are free-standing structures consisting of one or more arches crowned with a flat top for engravings or statues. They hark back to ancient Rome, where leaders built them to commemorate military victories or significant public events. Those arches inspired others, like the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, built to honor those who died in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.
Observers immediately noted that the photographed plan showed the Lincoln Memorial facing the wrong way, and compared the Trump Arch both to the Arc de Triomphe and to another arch modeled on it: the German Arch of Triumph proposed by Adolph Hitler to commemorate Germany’s victory in World War II.
That triumphal arch was never built.
Architect Eric Jenkins told Daniel Jonas Roche of The Architect’s Newspaper that the proposed arch would disrupt the symbolic connection between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The two are connected not only by the Arlington Memorial Bridge, but also by the Civil War. During that war, the nation began to bury its hallowed dead on the grounds of the former home of General Robert E. Lee, who led the troops of the Confederacy. Lee’s Arlington House sits directly behind the memorial to Lincoln, who led the United States to stop the Confederates from dismantling the nation.
The proposed construction of a triumphal arch contrasts with the expected sale and probable demolition of the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building on Independence Avenue in Washington, D.C. Completed in 1940, the Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building was built to house the Social Security Board, the precursor to the Social Security Administration.
In August 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act. That law established a federal system of old-age benefits; unemployment insurance; aid to homeless, dependent, and neglected children; funds to promote maternal and child welfare; and public health services. It was a sweeping reworking of the relationship between the government and its citizens, using the power of taxation to pool funds to provide a basic social safety net.
The vision of government behind the Social Security Act was very different from that of the Republicans who had run it in the 1920s. While men like President Herbert Hoover had embraced the idea of a “rugged individualism” in which men provided for their families on their own, those behind the Social Security Act recognized that the vision of a hardworking man supporting his wife and children was more myth than reality. They replaced that vision with one in which the government recognized that all Americans were equally valuable.
Their reworking of American government came from the conditions of the United States after the rise of modern industry. Americans had always depended on community, but the harsh conditions of industrialization in the late nineteenth century had made it clear that the government must protect that community. City governments like New York City’s Tammany Hall began to provide a basic system of social welfare for voters, making sure that they had jobs, food, and shelter and that women and children had a support network if a husband or father died.

Vác,1960. Hungary's only triumphal arch, built in 1764 in honour of the visit by the Habsburg Maria Theresa who was at that time was the queen of Hungary. The story goes that the arch was so newly built when she arrived that, fearing it might collapse, she refused to ride through it.
The car in the photo is an East German AWZ P70 "Zwickau".

The #TriumphalArch in #Dublin, not as ornate or grand as other similar arches, but I get it all to myself for pics!
Erected in 1813 to celebrate Wellington’s victory at the battle of Salamanca, it was re-dedicated to Pat O'Shea for his community work.
