Apart from being one of the world’s ugliest buildings, the Obama Presidential Center is far worse.
The following is From The Capitalist https://thecapitalistmag.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-the-obama-center?
The Obama nightmare is far from over. It might actually just be beginning.

Dennis Shanahan in the Australian “PM’s ‘shag’ Kylie claims crass and beneath his office Anthony Albanese’s lewd comments about Kylie Minogue were arrogant, Donald Trump-like vulgarity ”
Shanahan seems incapable of criticizing Albanese without a moral equivalenace with Trump. What Trump has been reported as saying was an alleged secret and inadmissable recording at a men’s urinal, about as private as anything could be, even if it were true and with the adjacent man both prompting and recording. This is utterly improper and in court illegal. Most importantly Trump was not head of state nor speaking publicly on the record. But it hardly matters when you attack someone’s character.
The embedded bias by many senior Australian reporters including International reporter Cameron Stewart is amazing. At least Stewart he does not have his usual front page daily story of how Trump is a complete failure with Iran.
Anyone who suggests the Murdoch paper has a pro Trump bias could not be more wrong. Clearly to be invited to a media party in Washington, you have to slag Trump, even today.
And if you want crass, the stories of ex-PM Bob Hawke’s crudity are endless. But any chance to drag down Trump on the front page is political gold. When you cannot beat someone with real news, just make it up.
It’s the complete obvious of factual reporting and in itself a defence of Alabanese’s extraordinarily and unprecendented crass very public comment as Prime Minister. Bob Hawke would never have said such a thing. Publicly. No one would.
You have to wonder when the attack will switch to Vance?

Dennis Shanahan suffers from TDS, along with a lot of other journalists at the Australian.
Fortunately Dr Trump has a treatment plan.

It will once the punters realize he will run for POTUS in ’28.

Vance is a lot harder to attack. His rags to riches story gives him legit working class street cred, and he is a lot more circumspect and polished in his public speech. He’s a little bit more sharp-tongued than most politicians, and much more sharp-elbowed when dealing with the press, but he’s not a gigantic outlier like Trump is.
But that may be his downfall. He’s not as easy to attack as Trump because he is nowhere near as interesting as Trump. Trump is constantly saying wild and crazy things in order to dominate the attention economy, and counts on the sheer volume of his outrageousness to ‘flood the zone’ and prevent any one thing from hurting him too much. Vance isn’t wired that way. Like most politicians, he’s occasionally interesting but mostly boring. He doesn’t have Trump’s superpower.
