I remember some years back being in London at Buckingham Palace and thinking that there was nothing majestic nor spectacular about the royal palace beyond the pomp and circumstance of changing of the guard and of course, it's historical value. I was struck that it was an unattractive building.
Some years later, while in Australia, I shared my sentiment with a British guy I met. He laughed and matched my disappointment of his visit to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. He said, "Are you kidding? The White House is just a house!". He went on to say that normal people had houses bigger and better than the White House. To which we both laughed, as I conceded his point.
Actually, there is nothing cosmetically spectacular about either of these edifices other than the history and nostalgia associated with them both. History and nostalgia that matters. History and nostalgia worth preserving. But both buildings are visually unremarkable.
Nonetheless, I find myself unexpectedly affected by the demolition of the White House without consultation, input from, or warning to, We the People who would have undoubtedly rejected such an action we were assured was not going to happen. Once again, we were deceived.
It seems amazing however, that the White House was not protected as a landmark under an act of historic preservation. Not that it would have much mattered. This administration operates with no regard for rules, of law or otherwise. It is truly a sad day in America.
It comes as no surprise that this demolition was conveniently and strategically delayed until after No Kings Day. The seven million protesters we saw gather in all 50 states on October 18, 2025, would have doubled in numbers. This is the very type of violation of public trust that will serve to awaken and prayerfully, unite Americans. This is good.
The White House is thought to be The People’s House. We The People did not ask for renovations, nor do we desire a ballroom.
I do not consider myself patriotic in any way. Again, however, I was affected by the desecration of the White House. Visualization of the demolition of the White House, is a symbolic visualization of the current demolition of the United States government, the country, life and basic American freedoms We The People have come to know, love, expect, and take for granted. Where and how does this end?
So, tell me again, WHO hates America? I'm listening...
