This just in….the White House is now closed to the public starting now and continuing at least through September. The reason? Construction. BREAKING: The White House is closed to the public for the entire month of September due to “construction.” — The General (@GeneralMCNews) August 29, 2025   The White House has suspended tours until further notice, starting in September, due to ongoing renovations. My office is happy to help you book other great tours during your visit to our Nation’s Capital, and please feel free to stop by our D.C. office to say hello! More info… pic.twitter.com/1aZn1WydHV — Congressman Mike Lawler (@RepMikeLawler) August 29, 2025 The construction is of course directly tied to the new Ballroom but also to “extensive renovations”. NBC News added more details: The White House is suspending public tours because of the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom initiated by President Donald Trump, a White House official said. The official did not provide a timeline for when tours would resume, saying only that the suspension is temporary. Constituents can typically request White House tours through their members of Congress, and several members stated on their websites that White House tours were paused. The pause, first reported by Fox News, marks the largest public impact so far from the construction project, which the White House announced last month. The suspension comes just months after tours resumed during the Trump administration in late February. Thousands of people visit the White House each year, according to the White House Historical Association. The office of Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said on his website that it could not submit tour requests starting in September “due to ongoing construction at the White House.” Similarly, the office of Rep. Eugene Vindman, D-Va., said on its site that starting in September, “the White House will be undergoing extensive renovations. As a result, all tours of the White House are postponed indefinitely.” Other offices, including those of Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md.; Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C.; and Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., say on their websites that the White House is pausing tours starting in September but do not provide a reason. “Seriously?” Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said in a post to X. “School trips. Families. All shut out indefinitely for the building of a ballroom?” That’s probably all there is to the story, but let’s just say some (yours truly included) have raised an eye-brow wondering if this might just be a convenient cover story to something much bigger? Similar to how President Trump is rolling out federal troops to all major Democrat cities under the surface-level reason of cleaning up crime? It’s not that I think the face-value stories are not real, just starting to wonder if all both can be true?  There does seem to be a lot all rolling out right now with everything seeming to hit all at once and seemingly pointing to Deep State arrests coming imminently.  Could shutting down public access to the White House and rolling out federal troops nationwide be part of a bigger operation? I’m not the only one thinking it: @WhiteHouse Tours are closed for September 2025 due to Construction of new ballroom! Interesting timing! pic.twitter.com/rQFxpQGOzl — Santa Surfing (@SantaSurfing) August 29, 2025 The WhiteHouse is closed for tours September 1st too. Just sayin’.

One thing I know for certain is that I think September is going to be a month to remember.  Pure fireworks. Buckle up folks! RELATED: Trump is Setting the Stage… Have you been following what President Trump is doing with the National Guard in DC? I don't mean just the surface level, I mean can you see what's happening and what's coming next? If you think this is only about President Trump cleaning up crime in our Nation's Capitol, I think you're missing it. Sure, it IS about that...but I think that's just a nice "kill two birds with one stone" cover story for the big move that's actually happening. He already told us Chicago is next and then likely New York City and LA (again). President Trump Confirms Chicago Is Next! And that's just the start. New reports say it will soon be up to 19 states if not all 50: Here it COMES! Trump mobilizing up to 1,700 National Guard troops in 19 states to widen crime and immigration crackdown Seems like chess pieces are being positioned. pic.twitter.com/Q1zc7BJFD4 — David Nino Rodriguez (@ninoboxer) August 24, 2025 Now the big question...why? As I said, I think this is a great cover story (and useful too on its face) to clean up these rotting Democrat cities, but I think the big move here is to have the National Guard deployed Nationwide to quell unrest when President Trump starts arresting the Deep State. And it's absolutely brilliant! He's literally moving all the chess pieces into place right out in the open and because of this brilliant cover story he's doing it mostly without any undue extra attention. BioClandestine summarized it extremely well in this post: Trump is conducting a strong messaging campaign to bring maximum attention to the crime reduction in DC, thanks to the NG and federal presence. Trump is making sure the public see that he is stopping crime, so they will accept him replicating this in cities nationwide.

Trump is making sure the public see that he is stopping crime, so they will accept him replicating this in cities nationwide. This was always the plan. Trump has to deploy the NG to Democrat-run cities nationwide, but not make it seem like a military takeover. Trump is doing it nice and slow, to avoid creating widespread panic. After Trump has the NG deployed in cities nationwide, not only will crime be significantly reduced, but Trump will have a standing deterrent on-hand to address any backlash for upcoming high-profile arrests related to Russiagate and the grand conspiracy case. It’s beautiful. And here: If it was ever going to happen, it would look like this. — Clandestine (@WarClandestine) August 25, 2025 Yes indeed! Almost EXACTLY by the book of how you'd do it if you were in his shoes and you needed to make sure you had all your troops strategically deployed before you actually started rounding the criminals up. It's so brilliant. Another great summary here from my friend Awakened Outlaw: I tasked Grok with considering the significance of Trump's decision to rename the Dept. of Defense to the Dept. of War.

Is it symbolic? Sure. Of course, it is. But I believe it's more than likely this signals something much larger - which would also ties into the gentle introduction of the National Guard to assist in reestablishing order, starting with DC. *Even then, the introduction of the National Guard came AFTER it being inundated with Federal agents as an even more palatable stop gap for the initial move. And let us not forget to mention JAG Officers being (oddly) assigned to Federal Prosecutors in DC to prosecute crime. Oh, and about the entirely recent creation of what amounts to National Guard SWAT force, deployable anywhere in the US within an hour. That too. All that said, none of this is happening in independent silos, IMHO. All of this, and so much more in the news, is all one big thing. And from my perspective it's getting clearer by the day that the stage is being slowly and meticulously set for something unlike we've ever seen and/or imagined before. Just keep in mind that if this was happening, you couldn't just foist all of it at once on the public. You'd probably go about it exactly as is being done now. _____ "Alert: President Trump has signed an executive order creating the “National Rapid Response Task Force,” a specialized National Guard unit designed to deploy to any American city within an hour to suppress riots or Democrat unrest." ~ @defense_civil25 Hang tight everyone....you're gonna LOVE how this story ends! And yes indeed, we are close to seeing that ending. After a very long and arduous 10+ years, this movie is about to wrap up in brilliant fashion. I can't wait!
