Democratic Sen. Liz Warren of Massachusetts was mocked and ridiculed after announcing an investigation on social media into the funding of President Donald Trump’s ballroom addition to the White House.

Democrats and other critics of the president have been imploding with fury since demolition began on the East Wing for the construction.

‘Billionaires and corporations with business in front of the Trump administration are coughing up millions to build Trump’s BALLROOM. What are these companies getting in return?’

“I’ve launched an investigation into the contracting and approval process for the demolition of the White House — and whether the corporate donors funding Trump’s ballroom are seeking favors with the Administration,” she posted. “The American public deserves answers.”

The ballroom is budgeted to cost $300 million and cover 9,000 square feet. Trump has said the cost of the project will be covered in part by corporate donations.

Senate Democrats claim the project raises ethical concerns that the donors are seeking government favors in exchange for the donations.

“Billionaires and corporations with business in front of the Trump administration are coughing up millions to build Trump’s BALLROOM,” she added in another post. “What are these companies getting in return?”

A spokesperson for the White House ridiculed Democrats for the accusations.

“Democrats are more concerned with President Trump’s historic beautification of the White House than they are for American citizens [who] are hurting because of their reckless government shutdown,” Davis Ingle said to MSNBC.

Others on social media pounced on the opportunity to crack jokes at Warren’s expense.

“Liz wants White House events held in inflatable tents instead of a ballroom because tents remind her of the teepee she grew up in,” one jokester responded.

“So let me get this straight, you are going to use taxpayer money to investigate a privately funded renovation project?” another reply reads.

“If this was such a concern, why now? Why not back in July when it was all made public? Could it be because back then, you weren’t getting HAMMERED over your shutdown, and you’re now desperately clinging to ANYTHING that might serve as a distraction?” another detractor said.

“How she launching an investigation? By opening a Google tab?” another response reads.

“I expect this to go about as well as your ancestry DNA investigation,” another user said.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner may be a self-proclaimed communist, but that hasn’t garnered the usual love and support from left-wing media outlets that many of his comrades have received.

In an exposé of the candidate, NBC News homed in on old Reddit posts written by Platner where he detailed his path to communism, writing that he “got older and became a communist” and is a “vegetable-growing, psychedelics-taking socialist these days.”

“After the war, I’ve pretty much stopped believing in any of the patriotic nonsense that got me there in the first place, and am a firm believer that the best thing a person can do is help their neighbors and live a loving life,” he added.

In a post from 2021, Platner wrote, “Bastards. Cops are bastards. All of them, in fact.”

When another user on Reddit claimed in 2020 that “white people aren’t as racist or stupid as Trump thinks,” Platner responded that as someone who lives in “white rural America,” he was “afraid” to tell the poster that “they actually are.”

But that’s not all. In posts from 2013, Platner “minimized challenges faced by military members in reporting sexual assault and encouraged people not to use substances in order to avoid being raped.”

The real reason for this exposé of one of their own, BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains, is that Platner had once gotten a Nazi tattoo removed.

“This is a guy, by the way, who was in the military, knows a lot about military history. There’s zero chance he did not know this was Nazi imagery,” Burguiere says. “But he says he was drunk 18 years ago and was unaware of its extremist association.”

“Let me just give you a little bit of advice, if I may, for just a moment to Graham,” he adds. “You know, sometimes you make a choice to consume enough of a substance to lose your self-control. If you don’t want to be in a compromising situation, act like an adult.”

An asteroid warning network has announced it will investigate a comet that allegedly has potential alien origins.

The comet, known as 3I/ATLAS, allegedly has peculiar traits that have not been seen in nature before. This theory is disputed, though.

‘Never seen in comets before.’

A NASA coordinated group called the International Asteroid Warning Network has added 3I/ATLAS to its list of observation campaigns for November, stating that it will monitor the comet for two months, ending in late January.

Concurrently, a Harvard astrophysicist told the New York Post that the comet, in addition to being the size of Manhattan, has several unusual characteristics that defy common knowledge about the objects.

Avi Loeb told the Post the comet has what is referred to as an “anti-tail,” which is a jet of particles that points toward the sun instead of away from it. It’s also emitting a plume — gas and dust that erupts from the surface — that contains four grams of nickel per second. Allegedly existing without iron, Loeb said this was unheard of.

Loeb also claimed the object also has non-gravitational acceleration that will bring it close to Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, which is suspicious enough for him to claim that the comet could actually be an alien probe.

The comet also allegedly contains a toxic gas that is not seen naturally occurring on Earth.

The nickel compound nickel tetracarbonyl is apparently present in the comet. According to ScienceDirect, this gas is formed from the reaction of carbon monoxide with metallic nickel and is the primary cause of acute nickel toxicity. The gas is used in the process of obtaining “very pure nickel” but can cause “severe health effects” in humans.

Loeb said the process is only imaginable because it’s used in industry and was “never seen in comets before.”

At the same time, the Post cited a study that suggests that the compound could form naturally in a carbon monoxide-rich environment.

“The [nickel] emission is more centrally concentrated in the nucleus of the comet and favors hypotheses involving easily dissociated species such as metal carbonyls or metal-polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbon molecules,” the study reads.

Loeb also said the object did not have a cometary tail, which “we usually see … and in this case there was no evidence for such a tail.”

Despite Loeb’s alien warnings and the IAWN’s plan for a lengthy observation period, the group states on its campaign page that the comet “poses no threat.”

It does, however, present a “great opportunity for the IAWN community to perform an observing exercise due to its prolonged observability from Earth and high interest to the scientific community.”

The group plans on holding a workshop on techniques to correctly measure the comet’s astrometry, “a transformation without a change to a figure’s shape or size, such as rotation or reflection.”

While the sports world continued to be rocked by arrests of athletes for alleged cheating, one popular sports commentator took some time out of the controversy to blame President Donald Trump.

Stephen A. Smith warned that the president was trying to get revenge on the players of the National Basketball Association and other sports figures over criticism they had leveled against him over many years.

‘This is just the tip of the iceberg. Everybody better brace themselves.’

“How many times, for one incident after another, have I said Trump is coming. He’s coming. I’m gonna say it on national television again,” Smith said.

He went on to claim that Trump was trying to disrupt the Super Bowl by ordering mass deportations during the performance of Bad Bunny at the halftime show.

“Big night for the NBA. [Victor] Wembanyama put on a show,” Smith said of the recent NBA game. “That has now been smeared because we’re talking about this story. OK?”

He went on to cite Trump’s longtime relationship with sports leagues going back to his time as owner of a casino in Atlantic City.

“Don’t be surprised if the WNBA is next on his list,” he continued. “Because when you’ve got all of these protests that have been going [on] out there and people that have been protesting against him and what have you, this man is coming. He’s coming.”

Smith said he would have more to say about the issue on another platform.

“And I’ve been saying it for a long time, and to me this is the latest nugget of evidence,” he added.

“Anybody that has seen his reactions from the sports leagues and the positions that people have taken, they are not surprised at what’s going on today,” Smith said.

“This is just the tip of the iceberg. Everybody better brace themselves,” he continued.

Among the evidence Smith cited to support his claim was that other sports figures had been arrested before, but they did not see the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation holding media briefings on the matter.

FBI Director Kash Patel replied by berating Smith for the bizarre allegation and mocked the commentator during an interview on Fox News.

“I’m the FBI director. I decide which arrests to conduct and which not to conduct,” Patel said.

“That may be the single dumbest thing I’ve ever heard out of anyone in modern history, and I live most of my time in Washington, D.C. It’s right up there with Adam Schiff,” he added. “We arrest people for crimes.”

Smith responded by walking back some of his suggestions.

“Nothing to get ahead of here, people! I never denied or failed to mention that this FBI Investigation has been going on for years,” he posted on social media.

“I said Trump wasn’t inclined to stop it. He’s sparing no one because the man isn’t playing,” he added. “He’s coming!! In no way am I attempting to even have an opinion on the legitimacy of this matter. I don’t know the facts of the case. I’m just saying don’t expect POTUS to spare anyone on this matter. And I stand by that. That’s all!”
