Trump Plans to Turn Kennedy Center into Marble Bathroom, Did He Get a Deal? Says Armrests in Theater “Unlike Anything” — For a Reason!

Donald Trump has been busy redecorating the White House.

He’s remaking historic rooms with cheap looking marble he probably got in deal. It may only be glue-on marble tiles. I guess we’ll see soon when Russell Vought tries the bathroom and water starts spurting at him. (Or when Stephen Miller, a professional douchebag, tries the bidet– and finds it takes Trump coins.)

The cold, generic marble is now being considered by Trump for the Kennedy Center. He wants to cover the arm rests of the seats with it. On Truth Social, he’s presenting options. What everyone likes in a theater is a cold, slab of marble to lean left or right on, right? Trump reasons, One day you’ll be doing this in a mortuary, so why not start now?

Trump wants to spend hundreds of millions gilding the Kennedy Center, which is losing all that money on ticket sales, canceled performances, etc. The KCH is a not for profit arts institution, not Nicholas and Alexandra’s Tsarist tomb. It’s supposed to break even. But the report for 2025 will show massive losses from programming.

Trump Voices Panic About Discovery of 1 Million More Files in Epstein Case While Everyone Else Spends Time with Family, Watches Sports

Trump Voices Panic About Discovery of 1 Million More Files in Epstein Case While Everyone Else Spends Time with Family, Watches Sports

What is Donald Trump doing over Christmas and Boxing Day?

He’s not watching sports or spending time with his family. He can’t summon the presence of his 19 year old son, Barron. His wife wants nothing to do with him.

From his Truth Social, he panics about the NY Attorney General, who he tried to sue — and lost — after she got him convicted on 34 counts of fraud — has found 1 million more Jeffrey Epstein files.

Trump writes tonight:

“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc. The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country! The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP & REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein – Just another Witch Hunt!!!”

Where and Tiffany and the new baby? Where are the Jewish grandchildren? Where’s the fake golf playing one? Can’t anyone spend time with him before he goes to jail?

And this was just last night:

Box Office: “Marty Supreme” Bounces to $7.5 Mil Christmas Day, Snakes Past “Anaconda,” “Song Sung Blue” Sings a Happy Tune

Box Office: “Marty Supreme” Bounces to $7.5 Mil Christmas Day, Snakes Past “Anaconda,” “Song Sung Blue” Sings a Happy Tune

Christmas Day brought joy to the new holiday films

“Marty Supreme” bounced to a $7.5 million Christmas Day and beat the less anticipated “Anaconda” by a whisker.

“Marty” now has a total of $10.7 million including shows from last week.

Last night, “Marty” pulled in a healthy $3,574 per screen. Shwap!

“Anaconda” has slithered to a total of $9.1 million.

In less competitive waters, “Song Sung Blue” sang its way to $4.4 million. The Neil Diamond tribute is a little less intense than the other new films, and more comfort food for the holiday.

This would have been a great week for indie, art house movies heading to awards season. But films like “Blue Moon,” “Sentimental Value,” and others are playing in very small numbers of theaters. See them if you can!

Meantime, “One Battle After Another” is on HBO Max, “Nouvelle Vague,” “Frankenstein,” “Jay Kelly,” and “Train Dreams” are all on Netflix.

Trump Has a Christmas Day Nervous Breakdown Over Epstein, Posts Screed The Likes of Which We’ve Never Seen Before

Trump Has a Christmas Day Nervous Breakdown Over Epstein, Posts Screed The Likes of Which We’ve Never Seen Before
Donald Trump had a Christmas Day breakdown over Jeffrey Epstein. Instead of going to church, or figuring out where his youngest son was, Trump flipped out over Epstein as the noose gets tighter. Merry Christmas…to everyone who dropped Epstein like a dog? (Dogs are not popular in the Trump administration). There will be parsing of this insane post for years to come. Trump’s name appears at least 625 times in the Epstein files. He’s accused of rape and other malfeasance. Their friendship is now well documented. Trump is screaming that he cut Epstein off when the files say the opposite: they were blood brothers, literally. There’s textual and photographic proof. The Epstein mess is finally eating away at him. Trump’s post: “Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to “drop him like a dog” when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn’t know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife “Republican,” Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story – a total Scam – and had nothing to do with “TRUMP.” The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election “Reporting,” even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage. Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump” Dec 25, 2025, 6:51 PM

Barron Trump Missing at Christmas Eve Dinner with Parents, Along with All of Donald’s Family Except Melania’s Father

Barron Trump Missing at Christmas Eve Dinner with Parents, Along with All of Donald’s Family Except Melania’s Father

Barron Trump’s face should be on a milk carton.

He’s been missing for most of 2025. No one’s seen him in the wild since at least last spring.

He seemed to still be AWOL last night at Christmas Eve dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

Donald and Melania sat with Melania’s father alone at a smallish table. In the video below, Melania is chatting with her father and ignoring Donald.

No other Trump children were involved. The grandchildren capable of reading or listening or watching may be aware that their granddad is widely being accused of rape, among other things. One of them must be questioning what’s going on.

As for Barron, the mystery deepens. He isn’t with his parents on Christmas Eve? What’s the excuse? He’s doing crypto trading in the basement?

“Marty Supreme” Opens Wide — Finally — to Respectable $2 Mil In Christmas Eve Previews After Megawatt Marketing Campaign

“Marty Supreme” Opens Wide — Finally — to Respectable $2 Mil In Christmas Eve Previews After Megawatt Marketing Campaign

“Marty Supreme” finally arrived last night in wide release.

The Timothee Chalamet movie made $2 million, with $754 per screen at 2,668 theaters.

After an intense marketing campaign, the results are good but not explosive.

Bigger box office should come today and through the weekend.

The total now including limited release numbers from last weekend in New York and Los Angeles is $3.1 millon.

“Marty” was beaten, as expected, just slightly, by action comedy “Anaconda,” which was universally panned by critics.

“Avatar Fire and Ash” took in $10 million on Christmas Eve, bringing it to a total of almost $130 million after one week in theaters.

As for “Marty,” the endless marketing that includes overpriced merchandise and non stop get-your-attention weirdness in videos will turn out to either have been genius or overwhelming, or both.

A lot of the film’s success will depend on how audiences view the movie — which is excellent. A great deal of ticket buyers may be unprepared for the actual film. But they should love it, once adjusted.

Today will be key for movie going in the northeast, also, with weather looking pretty miserable tomorrow and Saturday.

Merry Christmas!

Kennedy Center Latest Embarrassment: Christmas Eve Jazz Concert Cancels After Performers Refuse to Play Post-Name Change

Kennedy Center Latest Embarrassment: Christmas Eve Jazz Concert Cancels After Performers Refuse to Play Post-Name Change

It wasn’t bad enough that Tuesday night’s Kennedy Center Honors garnered the lowest TV ratings in the history of the show.

Now it turns out that there was no Christmas Eve jazz show, as planned. The evening was canceled at the last minute as the performers refused to go ahead with it.

Famed jazz musician Chuck Redd backed out of the annual jazz jam last week as soon as he heard about Donald Trump slapping his name on the building. The jazz jam, which was free to the public, had a 20 year history with the Kennedy Center.

Redd told the AP: “When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert.”

Richard Grenell, who’s supposed to be running the complex under Trump, has botched every event there since he took over last February. Ticket sales have plummeted and many artists have canceled shows.

The clincher came this afternoon when ratings for Tuesday night’s show were released. Despite tossing in country music and bizarre inductees who didn’t deserve the honor, Grenell managed to oversee a disaster. No one watched even though there was little competition.

Redd is a drummer and vibraphone player who has toured with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Ray Brown.

Next up: Friday afternoon and night, a non union road tour of “Spamalot” will resume performances. So far, it’s a mostly empty house for the matinee and evening shows, with theater patrons staying away in droves. The show’s key song is “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” But Grenell has been a miserable failure. Now with the name change, no one will set foot in the nation’s key arts institution.

Here’s a look at Redd’s Kennedy Center jazz show from several years ago:

“SNL” Wraps Fall with Season High Ratings Featuring Ariana Grande, Cher, and Bowen Yang’s Long Goodbye: Up 145K Viewers

“SNL” Wraps Fall with Season High Ratings Featuring Ariana Grande, Cher, and Bowen Yang’s Long Goodbye: Up 145K Viewers

I told you!

“SNL” went out on a high this week.

The show wrapped its fall season up 145,000 viewers from the week before.

The episode featured Ariana Grande, Cher, and the exit of Bowen Yang.

Total viewers were 540,000. The prior week had been just 3.95 million.

Cher was key to the success even though she lips synched her first song. Fans didn’t care. They’ve been downloading “Play a Christmas Song” ever since then, and it’s a hit on iTunes.

“SNL” struggles with hosts and musical guests always. Also, as a friend from TV points out, their numbers coincide with the weather. If it’s cold out, people stay in.

That should mean when “SNL” returns January 17th, Finn Wolfhard from “Stranger Things” and rapper-actor A$AP Rocky should be a big deal. Special guests could come from “ST” and maybe we’ll see Rihanna, Rocky’s wife or whatever, join in.

As for Bowen Yang, he’ll be missed as much as Heidi Gardner, Ego Nwodim, and Michael Longfellow. No one likes change.

Now if someone could just convince not to marry her boytoy, or to make him an ironclad pre-nup, that would be a Christmas miracle!

Report: Last Night’s Kennedy Center Honors Ratings May Be Lowest Ever, Half as Much as Last Year with Around 3 Million Viewers

Report: Last Night’s Kennedy Center Honors Ratings May Be Lowest Ever, Half as Much as Last Year with Around 3 Million Viewers

Last night’s terrible Kennedy Center Honors was a ratings disaster.

So speculates TV expert reporter Joe Adalian.

Writing on his popular TVMoJoe X account, Adalian says:

“Last year, the KENNEDY CENTER HONORS scored its smallest audience ever (4.1M viewers) In 2022, it did 5.2M viewers Still too early for a final number, but based on early data, so-called “Trump” KenCenter Honors will be least-watched ever and may lose to HIGH POTENTIAL reruns…

“Data is wonky right now with Nielsen’s new “big data” panel. But in prelims, KenCen did just 2.65M. Even with a 25% lift, the show still finishes in the mid-3M range– well below last year. In demos, it’s even more of a massacre– currently at a 0.14, roughly HALF of 2024 show.”

The show was hosted by Donald Trump, and it was a failure on all counts. Producer Robert Deaton treated it like it was the Country Music Awards. Trump pre-taped introductions to the honorees sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office. (Sitting because he can’t stand that long.) It looked like he was between Big Macs. He was dressed in street clothes.

DOJ X Account Calls Questioner a “Dope” in Live Exchange About Possible Epstein-Nassar Letter in File Dump

I really thought I imagined this, but it’s true.

Whoever writes the Twitter X account for the US Department of Justice responded to a public query this morning by calling another account “you dope.”

Jamie Dupree, a political gadfly, actually this exchange below with DOJ account. When he asked the DOJ account why they would release something fake — in this case, the purported letter from Jeffrey Epstein to convicted rapist Larry Nassar just before Epstein’s death — this is what transpired:

The exchange was followed by a query from congressman Thomas K Massie, who asked: “By the way, who’s controlling the DOJ X account on Christmas Eve and using words like “dope” to refer to reporters?”

Dupree, separately, responded: “A badge of honor and a great Christmas gift! The Trump Department of Justice calling me a dope.”

Who IS running the account, a drunk Jeanine Pirro?

The level of discourse under Trump is at zero.

Stay tuned…
