(DCNF)—Kellyanne Conway said on Fox Business Friday that Democrats are “zealous because they’re jealous’ over President Donald Trump’s plan to build a new ballroom at the White House.
Trump initiated demolition of the East Wing at the White House to make way for a 90,000-square-foot state ballroom that his administration plans to build, a move that sent many on the left into hysterics even though it’s funded entirely with private money. Appearing on “The Evening Edit,” Conway said Democrats would “be just fine” if they were invited to the same events.
“You know what I think is going on here? The left is zealous because they’re jealous. And if they get invited to one of these big fancy affairs, they’ll be just fine. I promise you, plus the president’s being transparent. He is issuing a list of the donors,” Conway told host Elizabeth MacDonald.
Conway argued that Trump even pledged his own money to kickstart construction.
“Everybody can see who’s actually funding it. They’re going to be acknowledged on the wall if they’d like to be. But more importantly, he went first. You know how the left is always screaming, Liz, ‘make the billionaires pay for it, make the billionaires pay for it.’ That billionaire, President Trump, he gave practically the first contribution,” Conway noted.
Conway said the ballroom effort ties into Trump’s broader goal of beautifying America ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
“He’s donating his presidential salary, other folks did not do that. He’s doing that in addition to raising money among people and companies that want to contribute to the beautification of America,” Conway added. “We’ve got a lot of big things going on, like America 250 in just a few short months from now, Liz. … We want to show America that our nation’s capital is welcoming to all folks. And so, I just think it’s a lot of high dungeon. I’ve never seen the left so animated about anything other than wanting to give care to illegal immigrants.”
For more than a century, the White House has seen constant upgrades and redesigns. Former President Theodore Roosevelt built the West Wing in 1902 and revamped several key rooms, including the East Room and the State Dining Room. In 1909, William Howard Taft expanded the West Wing and created the first Oval Office, according to The White House.
When structural problems made the mansion unsafe, former President Harry S. Truman gutted the interior and rebuilt it from the inside out while keeping the original outer walls intact. Decades later, former President Richard Nixon added the James S. Brady Briefing Room above the old pool and installed a bowling alley in the basement.
Now, prominent Democrats such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren are blasting Trump for ordering the East Wing’s demolition, accusing him of overreach and misuse of power. Many political figures are wrongly claiming taxpayers are footing the bill, despite the ballroom’s funding coming entirely from private contributions.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
