Is There Any Way To Muzzle A Prune, AKA Maxine Waters?
The Democrats have so many annoying characters that it’s hard to choose one as the leader of those misfits. That said, Maxine Waters remains one of the true nuisances. She’s not really a threat to anyone or anything anymore, because no one really cares about what she thinks or says, but she’s still a noisemaker that can get on your nerves.
Physically, if she ever retires from Congress, she can definitely get a gig haunting houses. I know it isn’t nice to comment on someone’s physical appearance, but when someone looks like a cross between a prune and a shrunken head, it’s tough not to. Especially when everything that comes out of her mouth is either unfounded criticism or blatant stupidity.
Waters has a long history of ignorance, and she’s obviously in no hurry to change that image. Even being in a church on Memorial Day didn’t slow her down. Grabbing the pulpit, Waters told the congregation that she would oppose Trump’s request for funding to enhance security for the East Wing of the White House. This is the same East Wing that Trump demolished last October to make space for a new ballroom. She firmly stated that the rebuilt structure “will never be rebuilt.”
Whatever that means.
Fortunately, the audio system was so bad that those in attendance could barely hear her.
The money Waters has been whining about is the $1 billion that is already allocated in the Republican reconciliation bill. This funding is designated for various Secret Service upgrades, including the installation of bulletproof glass, enhancements to the infrastructure of the new East Wing, and $150 million specifically to address threats from drones and airspace violations. The technology
would protect not just the White House but the entire Washington, DC airspace.
The DHS argued that two assassination attempts on Trump and a gunfight outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last month made the security upgrades urgent.
Maxine Waters told a church she would vote no.
It was exactly one month ago yesterday that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner took place, when a gunman opened fire outside the venue with a shotgun and pistols, intending to kill Trump administration officials.
Now, only a month later, Democrats, including the demented Waters, are demanding that the East Wing security money be stripped from the reconciliation bill on procedural grounds.
Chuck Schumer called it taxpayer money for a “gold-plated ballroom.”
Sen. Jacky Rosen from Nevada announced amendments to redirect the $1 billion elsewhere, and now Waters has made it personal, by standing before a congregation and pledging her own vote to block the funding while the body of yet another shooter who was killed outside of the White House was still at the hospital.
The White House Reconstruction and the vote Democrats are planning revolves around the East Wing, which was demolished in October 2025 to make way for the new 90,000-square-foot ballroom. Like every element of the White House, the security infrastructure depends on congressional appropriations.
Essentially, Waters and any other Democrats who agree with her are saying they will vote to leave the White House less secure because they hate the man who is currently President. If a Democrat was in that position, the ballroom and the money involved would not be a topic.
This isn’t the first time that Waters has tried to incite confrontation against Trump.
In 2018, Waters told supporters at a Los Angeles rally to find Trump Cabinet members in public and “create a crowd.”
“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out, and you create a crowd, and you push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere.”
Even Nancy Pelosi asked her to consider the consequences of her words.
However, Waters wouldn’t shut up.
The judge in Derek Chauvin’s murder trial specifically criticized Waters after she traveled to Minnesota in April 2021. While speaking to protesters outside the Brooklyn Center Police Department, she urged them to “get more confrontational” if Chauvin was acquitted. Judge Peter Cahill described her comments as “disrespectful to the rule of law” and cautioned that they could give Chauvin grounds for an appeal.
Now she is pledging to vote no on funding in an attempt to make the White House, in general, and President Trump specifically, less secure.
Every president before Trump knew a ballroom was necessary, and every president in the future will benefit from its presence, yet it was Trump who took the initiative to build it. The days of putting dignitaries outside, on the lawn in temporary tents, are over. They will no longer be at the mercy of the weather or any other dangers that lurk outside the walls of the White House.
Waters is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the absurd. She and every other Democrat don’t hate the ballroom or the money involved. Simply put, they hate President Trump and will do anything to sabotage him, even if it puts all White House officials and personnel at risk.
