More popular than you thought, eh?  Me, too.  He's never charted below #400.  And now he looks as though he'll soon beat his personal best of #154, which occurred way back in 1901.

White House ballroom vanity project: What contractor in his right mind is willing to take on this fraught project?

 

Headline: Construction Drive, 12/17/2025  

Sebastian Obando reports:

A federal judge on Tuesday cleared construction on the White House ballroom project to move forward, according to multiple sources, but construction attorneys say the ruling does little to reduce risk for the contractors tasked with building it.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation sued the Trump administration earlier this month to stop its ballroom construction project, which is now pegged at $400 million, double the initial estimate of $200 million, according to The Hill. The lawsuit alleged the administration started demolition and early construction activity before securing required approvals. 

For contractors, that kind of conditional green light creates a familiar but costly problem. Work can continue, but so does uncertainty. The national attention the job has garnered spotlights the risks contractors face when taking on a controversial project that gets mired in litigation.

MISCREANT PREACHERS: Rape in the Name of the Lord (#220 in a series)

 

Mugshot and headline: Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette, 12/17/2025

A nationally known pastor and televangelist reported to have ties to Siloam Springs was arrested in Missouri on Wednesday on suspicion of raping and molesting underage girls since the 1970s. 

Joseph Lyle Campbell, 68, of Missouri is accused in Oklahoma of rape in the first degree and lewd or indecent acts to a child under 16, according to an indictment filed against him in that state. The indictment states the crimes occurred in 1984 while Campbell was the youth pastor at the Eastland Assembly of God Church in Tulsa. 

Between May 1 and Oct. 1 of that year, he raped an 11- or 12-year-old girl in the garage of his home, according to the indictment. In addition, he is accused of sexually abusing a 14-year-old girl at the church between March 1 and Dec. 1, 1984.

Dear Iowa soybean farmers: Time to put Chuck Grassley on the spot. Your pain is far from over. Best, Retiring Guy

Headline:  Investigate Midwest, 12/15/2025

Monica Cordero reports:

For decades, U.S. soybeans fed China’s growing demand, binding the two economies together. The share of U.S. soybeans going to China has at times been more than 60% by value, making China America’s most important agricultural customer. 

Since 2013, China has been investing in infrastructure projects around the world. In Latin America, the Asian giant has invested in more than 23 seaports, building a logistics network to support its growing trade with the region. 

The partnership between the U.S. and China began to crumble in 2018, when tariffs during President Trump’s first term triggered a sharp drop in U.S. soybean sales to China. Brazil quickly filled the gap and has remained China’s top soybean supplier ever since.  [emphasis added]
