Bolting billionaires. Ballooning budgets. A racial discrimination suit from a thwarted subcontractor.
Who needs Jussie Smollett? The Obama Presidential Center (OPC) is turning out to be Chicago’s greatest hoax.
Sprouting up on the city’s South Side in 2021 like an Egyptian funerary complex, the Taj Barack has already taken nearly twice as long to build as any presidential library in history. And at an estimated cost of $830 million, it’s the most expensive… by hundreds of millions.
That’s enough to make King Tut’s mummy blush, but it’s pretty standard when it comes to the modern gods of the Democratic party.
$1.5 million to ‘advance DEI in Serbia’s workplaces,’ $70,000 for an Irish DEI-centric musical, $47,000 for a ‘transgender opera’ in Colombia and $32,000 on a ‘transgender comic book’ in Peru is just some of the spending from the now-shuttered US Agency for International Development (or as President Biden called it: The Taxpayer Cash Disposal Department).
Never forget that Biden’s White House took a $7.5 billion investment and built a grand total of eight electric vehicle charging stations over two years, which is just a hair-plug shy of his target of 500,000 EV stations by 2030.
Hold my Chardonnay, said Kamala. She burned through $1.5 billion in 15 weeks on her way to electoral disgrace.
But who needs results when you’re playing with someone else’s money?

The $800 million Obama Presidential Library has descended into a #DEI nightmare.

How fitting if the Obama Presidential Library has to be condemned for botched construction before it even opens.
Engineering steel reinforced concrete structures is no place for DEI. Design & Engineering Incompetence?
