Trump administration says White House ballroom construction is a matter of national security

The Trump administration says in a court filing that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for unexplained national security reasons. It also says a preservationists’ organization that wants it stopped has no standing to sue. The court filing Monday was in response to a lawsuit filed last Friday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation asking a federal judge to halt President Donald Trump’s project until it goes through multiple independent reviews and a public comment period and wins approval from Congress. The administration filing includes a declaration from the deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service saying more work on the site is still needed to meet the agency’s “safety and security requirements.”

Whether you are hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Aprk, the Cohutta Wilderness of Georgia, or the Alleghenies of Pennsylvania, you’re probably going to run across some evidence of human civilization, even in deep forest that has been protected for 100+ years.

It would be hard to think of a worse choice for BLM director than Steve Pearce. If his oil industry ties and voting record weren't enough to disqualify him from managing over 200 million acres of your land, his history of siding with violent extremists should be.

From Malheur to January 6th, Pearce has consistently embraced anti-government extremism to protect oil, gas and cattle interests.

Everyone with a Senator, but especially those with one who sits on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee — this one is worth a call.
