Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park New York City

Donald Trump And The Wollman Rinking of American Politics

We best understand the world through compelling narratives. Here’s one that helps us process the phenomenon known as Trump for President:

“Once upon a time there was an ice skating rink in Central Park that could no longer make ice. No one could figure out how to fix the skating rink. Years went by and millions of dollars were spent and still no ice. One day a white knight wearing a bright red tie showed up and said: ' Let there be ice!’ Four months later there was ice. When asked by the press why the people had been unable to fix the rink themselves the knight said 'they’re very nice people and I like them very much but they're all idiots!' And everyone lived happily ever after.”

Pretty much the true story of the Wollman Skating Rink fiasco. You can even check the New York Times. On May 31, 1986 Donald Trump said in an interview with the Times, "I don't want my name attached to losers. So far the Wollman Rink has been one of the great losers. I'll make it a winner.'' Shortly after Trump decided to slap his name on Wollman Rink, if you read the fine print. Now, 30 years later, Wollman Rink is a winner and the Trump name is still associated with it. Just check the Wollman Skating Rink website. There it is! The famous, or, according to some, infamous TRUMP red logo.

The Wollman Rink incident underrscores the fascinating impact that Donald Trump is making on the political landscape and the American psyche irrespective of the outcome of the presidential campaign. Wollman Skating Rink today is one of the most iconic amenities for New Yorkers and tourists located in Central Park just a stone’s throw north of the Plaza Hotel (which was once owned by Donald Trump).

President Trump Gives FOX & FRIENDS Tour of White House and a Special Visit with First Lady Melania





Fox & Friends captured first lady Melania Trump (left) hard at work, as she explained planning each White House event is like planning a wedding



irst lady Melania Trump is in Washington this week, meeting with her team and making appearances alongside her husband in the Oval Office, before attending his State of the Union-like speech tonight.

As the trio of Fox & Friends hosts got a tour of the White House Monday, led by none other than President Donald Trump, their cameras glimpsed some of the first images of the first lady hard at work.

‘Hello first lady!’ the cheerful president said as he walked Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Ainsley Earhardt into the Library, an ornate room filled with bookshelves on the White House’s ground floor.

Melania Trump, seated with her team, said hello to the guests, as Earhardt asked what kind of planning goes into White House events.

‘Everything,’ the first lady responded. ‘You know, planning is almost like you’re planning a wedding every time.’

So far the first lady has made two official hires, Lindsay Reynolds as her chief of staff and Rickie Lloyd as White House social secretary.

When the Fox & Friends hosts walked in on the meeting, Melania Trump was sitting with the two women and two male aides as well.

‘This is my team,’ she said, saying they were ‘just working,’ adding that they were already focused on the ‘next event.’

‘We had a successful Governors Ball last night,’ the first lady added, calling it beautiful and very good.

‘First one and many to go,’ Melania Trump said.

From Ivanka Trump.................


"I am incredibly proud to support the signing of two bills today: H.R. 321 and H.R. 255. I am thankful for my father’s commitment to enhancing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) education opportunities and entrepreneurial programs for women and girls. Closing the gender gap in STEM fields is essential to both innovation and workforce development. I look forward to working alongside my father to champion the economic empowerment of women and girls and encouraging gender diversity in STEM fields is critical to that mission. #STEM #ClosingTheGenderGap #WomenInSTEM"

President Trump Revokes EPA's Crazy Water Rule!




Wild Thing's comment...............

Thank God for President Trump. I have learned one tremendous thing in this last election, there truly has been only ONE candidate that can do what Trump has been doing. It took a man that is NOT a lifetime politician, a lifetime person that makes promises and does not keep them. You can feel how much he loves America and how he has been ticked at the same things we have been ticked off about it. Just so many things that show me no one else would or could tackle what he is and has been doing.

The story of why the Resolute Desk was given by Queen Victoria to the President of the United States




The story of why the Resolute Desk was given by Queen Victoria to the President of the United States


This double pedestal partners' desk, usually called the "Resolute desk", was made from the oak timbers of the British ship H.M.S. Resolute as a gift to President Rutherford B. Hayes from Queen Victoria in 1880.

A brass plaque affixed to the desk records the history of its creation:

"H.M.S. 'Resolute', forming part of the expedition sent in search of Sir John Franklin in 1852, was abandoned in Latitude 74º 41' N. Longitude 101º 22' W. on 15th May 1854. She was discovered and extricated in September 1855, in Latitude 67º N. by Captain Buddington of the United States Whaler 'George Henry'. The ship was purchased, fitted out and sent to England, as a gift to Her Majesty Queen Victoria by the President and People of the United States, as a token of goodwill & friendship. This table was made from her timbers when she was broken up, and is presented by the Queen of Great Britain & Ireland, to the President of the United States, as a memorial of the courtesy and loving kindness which dictated the offer of the gift of the "Resolute'."


The President's Desk

Many presidents have used the Resolute desk in the Oval Office or the their study in the Residence. It was made from the timbers of HMS Resolute, an abandoned British ship discovered by an American vessel and returned to the Queen of England as a token of friendship and goodwill. When the ship was retired, Queen Victoria commissioned the desk from William Evenden, Royal Naval Dockyard at Chatham, England, and presented to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880.

The desk has twice been modified. Franklin Roosevelt requested that the kneehole be fitted with a modesty panel carved with the presidential seal (he preferred people not see his leg braces and often placed a waste basket in front of his desks), but he did not live to see it installed. However, President Truman liked the eagle motif and had it installed when he came into office in 1945. Since this was prior to Truman's decision to turn the head of the eagle in the presidential seal to face the olive branch of peace, the eagle in the Resolute's modesty panel faces the arrows of war.

Every president since Hayes—except Presidents Johnson, Nixon, and Ford—has used the Resolute desk, although some chose to use it in their private study in the Residence. The desk was made famous in part by a photograph of John Kennedy at work while his son, John Jr., peeked out the front through the kneehole panel.

On the President's Desk

What the president has on his desk is often symbolic of his style and experience.

Although he did not use the Resolute in the Oval Office, Harry Truman's desk was famous—he was well-known for having a plaque with a motto that read: "The buck stops here." On more than one occasion, President Truman referred to the desk sign in public statements. In his farewell address to the American people given in January 1953, President Truman referred to this concept in asserting that, "The President—whoever he is—has to decide. He can't pass the buck to anybody. No one else can do the deciding for him. That's his job." The other side of the sign read "I'm From Missouri," a reference to the skeptical nature of people from Truman's home state, often expressed as "I'm from Missouri—show me." (Missouri's nickname is "The Show-Me State").

John Kennedy did use the Resolute, and his desk included a very special coconut paperweight. While he was serving in WW2 as commander of the PT109, his boat was hit by a Japanese destroyer and his crew was stranded in the Solomon Islands. Lieutenant John F. Kennedy carved this Coconut shell with a message and gave it to two natives to deliver to the PT base at Rendova so he and his crew would be rescued. He later had the coconut shell encased in wood and plastic and used it as a paperweight on his desk in the Oval Office. The message carved on coconut shell reads "NAURO ISL…COMMANDER…NATIVE KNOWS POS'IT…HE CAN PILOT…11 ALIVE…NEED SMALL BOAT…KENNEDY".

President Reagan and President Clinton both displayed the motto "It can be done" on their Oval Office desks.

President Jimmy Carter brought the desk back to the Oval Office, where Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump have used it.

President Donald J. Trump Has Ordered a MASSIVE Military Strike Against Al-Qaeda Ahmad Hasan


President Donald J. Trump Has Ordered a MASSIVE Military Strike Against


Al-Qaeda number two Ahmad Hasan 'killed in drone strike' in Syria

Al-Qaeda's number two Abu al-Khayr al-Masri has been killed in a US drone strike in Syria, it is being reported.


Also known as Ahmad Hasan Abu al-Khayr al-Masri, he served as a deputy to the terror group's leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri.


The 59-year-old Egyptian's death was reported by a number of experts on Syria and terrorism, including Charles Lister of the Middle East Institute.


Abu Khayr al-Masri, who was reportedly married to a daughter of Osama bin Laden, was allegedly responsible for a number of terror attacks, including the bombings of the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.


Yesterday, an American drone strike took out al-Qaeda’s number two guy, Abu al-Khayr al-Masri, in Syria. Images of the attack posted to social media revealed a vehicle containing the radical Muslim leader, with a massive hole blown right through its roof!

The al-Qaeda leader who was taken out by President Trump’s drone attack was also known as Ahmad Hasan Abu al-Khayr al-Marsi. He served as a deputy to Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of the radical Islamic terror group, the Mirror reports.

The 59-year-old Egyptian terrorist’s death was reported by multiple international media outlets, yet the mainstream media here in the United States have remained almost silent on the president’s latest successful attack on radical Islam.

The swift and severe actions undertaken by Trump are what is necessary to win this fight. For the past eight years, only the minimal efforts have been undertaken to rid the world of these vile jihadists.

Khayr al-Masri was not just a high-ranking Muslim terrorist — he was also reportedly married to one of Osama bin Laden’s daughters. He was allegedly responsible for a multitude of terror attacks.

In 1998, the terrorist was involved in the bombings at the American embassies of both Kenya and Tanzania. He fled Egypt during the 1980s and fought in the Bosnian War in the 1990s before joining al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.

After the 9/11 attacks in the United States, he was forced to flee Afghanistan and found his way to Iran. He had been among the upper echelons of al-Qaeda for the last 14 years.

Trump administration lifts transgender bathroom guidance


WASHINGTON (AP) — Transgender students on Wednesday lost federal protections that allowed them to use school bathrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identities, as the Trump administration stepped into a long-simmering national debate.

The administration came down on the side of states' rights, lifting Obama-era federal guidelines that had been characterized by Republicans as an example of overreach.

"This is an issue best solved at the state and local level," Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said. "Schools, communities and families can find — and in many cases have found — solutions that protect all students."

In a letter to the nation's schools, the Justice and Education departments said the earlier guidance "has given rise to significant litigation regarding school restrooms and locker rooms."

The agencies withdrew the guidance to "in order to further and more completely consider the legal issues involved."

President Trump and Vice President Pence greet Harley Davidson executives on the South Lawn


Donald Trump met with executives from Harley-Davidson Thursday, and he and Vice President Mike Pence greeted the team on the South Lawn of the White House.

President Donald Trump on Thursday used a lunch meeting at the White House with executives and union leaders from Milwaukee-based Harley-Davidson Inc. to push his "America First" theme in trade deals.

"A lot of countries are taking advantage of us," Trump said during a press briefing with the executives and union members.

"Thank you Harley-Davidson for building things in America," Trump said during his remarks.

He also used the opportunity to tout his election night victory in Wisconsin. "I want to thank the people of Wisconsin," Trump said. "Great people. Amazing people. And they get it."

The president also focused on his theme of the need for health care and tax reform to help businesses succeed. He pledged to bring down the high cost of health care and also promised tax reform, issues he has repeatedly raised during his time so far in office.

This is just soooo wonderful. It has been such a long time, since President Reagan that I have felt like this about our President. Each day I am more and more happy that Trump is the one that one the election. There really was no one else that could do the job he is doing and as well.

First Lady Melania Trump hires chief of staff





Melania Trump hires chief of staff


Washington (CNN)Nearly two weeks after her husband assumed office, Melania Trump has made her first official East Wing hire.

Lindsay Reynolds will serve as assistant to the President and chief of staff to the first lady, the White House announced Wednesday evening.

Reynolds previously served in the George W. Bush White House and brings more than 14 years of political fundraising, event management and logistical expertise to the position, per a White House statement.


She is the daughter-in-law of Ohio businessman Mercer Reynolds, who served as national finance chair for Bush's 2004 re-election campaign.

The first lady acknowledged a delay in staffing -- the staffing gap has caused a delay in carrying out some duties such as White House tours, state dinner planning and the announcement of her official causes -- among other tasks traditionally reserved for the first lady's team.

"I am putting together a professional and highly-experienced team which will take time to do properly," Trump said in a statement. "I am excited to be organizing and bringing together such a dynamic and forward-thinking group of individuals who will work together to make our country better for everyone."

Trump has not been seen publicly since an inaugural weekend multi-faith prayer service at Washington National Cathedral.

A spokeswoman for the first lady knocked down recent reports that Trump would not be moving to Washington at all.
"That report is not true," the spokeswoman said.

Later Wednesday, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, acting as senior adviser to the first lady, confirmed Trump will move to Washington.

"Mrs. Trump will be moving to DC and settling in to the White House at the end of the school year, splitting her time between New York and DC in the meantime," she said. "Mrs. Trump is honored to serve this country and is taking the role and responsibilities of first lady very seriously. It has only been a short time since the inauguration and the first lady is going to go about her role in a pragmatic and thoughtful way that is unique and authentic to her."
She will join her husband at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, a White House source confirmed.
