Blue paint peels off Reflecting Pool in viral clip days after Trump's $14M 'upgrade'

... The blue paint President Donald Trump applied to the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C., as part of a $14 million upgrade to the monument, is peeling, a new viral video shows, days after it was applied.

The video also shows the extent of the algae that has grown in the pool since it was filled with water after the renovations were completed. Crews with the National Park Service have spent the last few days dredging the pool and filling it with chemicals to kill the growth.

A massive chunk of blue paint can be seen floating to the surface of the pool, ripped from the bottom. ...


@#4 ... But the next presidential election is a little over 2-years away. Most of what this administration does is going to be immediately reversed. ...

I've heard reports that our European allies are developing the view that the United States is no longer a reliable ally.

Regarding the next presidential election, they are of the opinion ~how can we rely on the United States when 50,000 votes in Wisconsin might cause a drastic change in the direction of the United State?~

... What the ECFR Poll Reveals About European Public Opinion

Conducted in May 2026 across EU member states including Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the Netherlands, as well as Switzerland and the United Kingdom, the poll paints a stark picture of European sentiment. The report's authors, Ivan Krastev and Mark Leonard, argue that US President Donald Trump's second term -- marked by threats to NATO, plans to annex Greenland, and military strikes on Iran without European consultation -- has fundamentally shattered European confidence in American protection.

Michal van der Toorn, European affairs correspondent, explains the report's central metaphor: 'The comparison is crystal clear: the EU is Kevin and the US are the parents. Because home alone -- that's what we are as Europe.' The reference to the 1990 film 'Home Alone' underscores the sense of abandonment Europeans feel.

Key Findings at a Glance

Was Bibi stupid enough to think he could control Trump?

#2 | Posted by jpw

idk about control, but certainly didn't think Trump would stab Israel in the back.

Maybe this is Trumps way of getting rid of Bibi?? But I imagine its just to get the US out of this situation before the midterms. Hopefully the US learned something, we know the PLA did.

Everyone Who Hated Me Is Dead

there were people out in Gaza
now there ain't quite as much
when some humans just ain't human
well you must treat them as such

what is stolen must be taken
when the promise is divine
to bad no one told the kids in Palestine

now I lie me down to sleep
and in peace I rest my head
now that everyone who hated me is dead

there were people up in Canaan
now there ain't quite as many
as it's written in the scrolls
as it's been since the beginning

when my god says you are going
well you'd better get gone
to bad god don't talk to kids in Lebanon

now I lie me down to sleep
and in peace I rest my head
now that everyone who hated me is dead

there are people up in Persia
and there must be many less
we'll destroy the civilization
it's with pride I do confess

there are many who will die
for our god given land
to bad no one told the girls out in Iran

well when wrath comes 'a knocking
for the evil that I've sown
I'll be dead and in my grave
and unable to atone

yes when vengeance comes to port
I won't be among the fell
too bad no one told the kids in Israel

now I lie me down to sleep
and in peace I rest my head
now that everyone who hated me is dead
now that everyone who hated me is dead
