The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently requested that the federal lawsuit filed by an NGO to stop construction of the White House ballroom be dismissed following the assassination attempt at the Correspondents’ Dinner on April 25, 2026.

The DOJ is seeking dismissal of the National Trust for Historic Preservation lawsuit against the construction of the new White House ballroom.

According to the DOJ, the existing injunction on the ballroom’s construction should be lifted due to national security concerns. The department argues that the project is essential for protecting the President and includes security features such as bomb shelters and threat-resistant materials.

The motion also states that the National Trust suffers from “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a phrase commonly used by supporters of President Trump to criticize opposition to his policies and administration.

The National Trust’s lawsuit seeks to halt the $400 million ballroom project, arguing that it poses risks to historic preservation. The DOJ’s motion, filed on April 27, 2026, has sparked debate over both its tone and substance, with critics claiming it reads more like a political statement than a traditional legal filing.

This raises an interesting question: does the DOJ recognize that there was previously a bill introduced before the Minnesota Senate titled “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) Addition to the Definition of Mental Illness”?

The proposed legislation stated:

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” means the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal persons in reaction to the policies of President Donald J. Trump and overt acts of aggression and violence against anyone supporting President Donald J. Trump.

Note the use of the word “violence.”

Citing Trump Derangement Syndrome could arguably require diagnostic criteria. The proposed Minnesota legislation further stated:

“Mental illness” means Trump Derangement Syndrome or an organic disorder of the brain, or a clinically significant disorder of thought, mood, perception, orientation, memory, or behavior that is detailed in a diagnostic codes list published by the commissioner and that seriously limits a person's capacity to function in primary aspects of daily living, such as personal relations, living arrangements, work, and recreation.

Again, note that symptoms were described as being “detailed in a diagnostic codes list.”

John Fetterman has publicly supported construction of the White House ballroom, arguing that it is necessary for events involving the U.S. government’s line of succession. He has reportedly called on opponents to “drop the TDS” and support the project, which he believes would enhance security for such events. This position was notably linked to both a social media post and a The New York Times op-ed by Senator Fetterman titled:

“Democrats Cannot ‘Simply Be the Opposite’ of Trump”

If Senator Fetterman’s argument holds true, then perhaps Democrats cannot continue using lawsuits as political tools to oppose President Trump and his supporters at every turn.

If the President prevails and the lawsuit is ultimately withdrawn because of what supporters characterize as the National Trust’s “TDS,” could that create broader questions about politically motivated litigation rooted in ideological hostility?

A psychotherapist interviewed on Fox News program The Faulkner Focus appeared under the headline:

“Psychotherapist says ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ is real pathology, plaguing 75 percent of his patients.”

Dr. Jonathan Alpert described the condition as “the defining pathology of our time” based on observations from his practice. He stated that he has personally seen symptoms of what he calls Trump Derangement Syndrome in approximately three-quarters of his patients.

Was the Correspondents’ Dinner shooting an example of TDS in action?

Does TDS contribute to media bias and rhetoric from public figures, including entertainers such as Jimmy Kimmel, who critics argue have used inflammatory language directed at President Trump and his family?

Additional online research into TDS reveals two articles in Psychology Today by Dr. Alex Pattakos. His most recent article, published on September 4, 2024, begins:

“Early in 2018, I published a post, ‘Why the Left’s Obsession With Donald Trump Will Backfire.’”

Dr. Pattakos further explains:

“Signs of TDS can be observed along a continuum of reactions, ranging from verbal expressions of intense hostility toward President Trump to overt acts of aggression and even violence against anyone supporting or anything symbolizing him.”

Again, note the reference to “violence.”

For those seeking help, there is even a TDS treatment site created by Count Metalmind, who describes himself as:

“Inspired by Hunter S. Thompson to dissect reality, expose inconvenient truths & shatter dogma... This medical analysis is brought to you by Count Metalmind, the Gonzo Professor of Political Psychology.”

I admit I find Count Metalmind’s perspective interesting, especially because I dedicated my last two books to Hunter S. Thompson. Ironically, this article was also published on my 70th birthday.

Finally, here is my own proposed solution: perhaps someone should create “TDS Anonymous.” I have been sober for 43 years because Alcoholics Anonymous works. It works for people all over the world.

The DOJ motion reportedly references Trump Derangement Syndrome three separate times. If the National Trust for Historic Preservation truly suffers from what supporters describe as TDS, some argue that Judge Richard Leon should dismiss the case entirely and recommend treatment rather than litigation.

The last hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights was held on January 7, 2026, focusing on the issue of holding so-called “rogue judges” accountable.

Some now ask whether it may be time for Judge Leon to appear before the same committee and explain why preserving aging buildings should take precedence over protecting the President, White House staff, and supporters from future security threats.

Top 3 Reasons Grok xAI Can Help Young Journalists (the Next Generation of Truth-Hunters)

1. Instant, Relentless Research and Fact-Checking Muscle

Journalism moves at warp speed. Deadlines are brutal. Sources are scattered. Misinformation is everywhere.

Grok cuts through the chaos. It digs through data, cross-references claims across perspectives, pulls historical context, analyzes documents, images, and PDFs you upload, and searches X and the web in real time. No sleep. No clickbait bias. No paywalls.

Young journalists often get trapped in rabbit holes or stalled by sketchy leads. Grok reduces the noise so they can focus on writing, sharpening angles, and increasing impact—like a 24/7 research partner who never says, “That’s not my job.”

2. Sharpening Critical Thinking and Story-Crafting—Without the Fluff

Grok doesn’t just regurgitate information. It pushes back.

It pokes holes in your angle, brainstorms counterarguments, suggests stronger framing, role-plays tough editors or sources, and simulates debates. In an era dominated by echo chambers, this kind of friction builds intellectual muscle fast.

Young journalists are supposed to question everything—including themselves. Grok helps them do that relentlessly, honestly, and without ego.

3. Leveling the Playing Field for Independents and Underdogs

Major outlets have teams, budgets, and institutional power. Freelancers, students, and small publications often don’t.

Grok provides enterprise-level tools for free—or close to it. Semantic searches on X for emerging trends and voices. Deep site and document analysis. Evidence synthesis. Unbiased brainstorming. No quotas. No corporate filters. Just merit-based support.

1. In journalism’s shrinking meritocracy, Grok becomes a tireless co-pilot—one that scales with a journalist’s hustle, curiosity, and ambition.

This is my first piece for Most Influential Women, because being sober for 44 years is the most important thing in my life.

I just watched my go-to video of the demi-god of rock and roll, Chuck Berry, playing “Johnny B. Goode” in 1958.

Movies and TV series about Percy Jackson taught me what a demi-god is. They’re half god, fathered or mothered by Olympic gods.

Here is my unapologetic disclosure as I list my Marquis Who’s Who political affiliation: MAGA.

My first demi-god is Pete Hegseth, SecWar. When he got rid of DEI in the military, I cheered—after serving in the Navy from 1977 to 1980 as an advanced electronics technician.

Why Pete Hegseth?

Getting rid of DEI will never erase the discomfort of living with three out of four lesbian roommates.

But number one is this: we’re both recovering alcoholics.

SecWar is going through his first two years of sobriety, one day at a time. It’s called Alcoholics Anonymous for a reason.

Back to SecWar.

For your critics, from an online search:

Pete Hegseth served in the U.S. Army National Guard, where he was commissioned as an infantry officer after graduating from Princeton University in 2003.

His combat experience includes serving in Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan, where he taught counterinsurgency tactics. Hegseth rose to the rank of Major, and his military honors include two Bronze Star Medals, two Army Commendation Medals, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

Next is demi-god Dan Bongino. Talk about authentic. Yay—he’s back on Rumble.com/Dan at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Then VP JD Vance. Watch his movie Hillbilly Elegy. He’s got a black belt in Al-Anon, the group formed for those living with active alcoholics to fight codependency. He knows alcoholism is nothing to mess around with. And thank God for Mamaw.

If I drink, I’ll be dead in three days—and I still have tons of things to do.

I’m a huge fan of demi-goddess Tina Turner. I’ve loved her since I was 16, in 1970. I saw the Ike and Tina Revue in Seattle in 1973. She was 70 on her final tour. I’m 71 and am still being chosen by groups such as Marquis Who’s Who and Most Influential Women for my writing.

I live with and believe in at least two sides of our world: the seen and the unseen. I wrote The Cassandra Frost Collection: Articles on Intuition, Remote Viewing, and Consciousness to help people learn that living with the paranormal, ETs, Jesus Christ, dreams, and contact with deceased relatives is normal. Whatever has caused you to either be scared senseless or say “Fuck yeah,” it’s time to accept your evolution and learn to live your calling—or remain a mess.

And it’s A-OK to be a mess. Jelly Roll sings, “I’m not OK.” But he also sings, “I’m not OK, but it’s all gonna be alright.”

My shoulder tattoo is a Medicine Wheel with the four colors in the four directions and an eagle feather.

I am Alaskan Native/Athabascan and Cherokee. I inherited my alcoholism and the gift of storytelling. My calling is that of an award-winning investigative journalist and author—right down to my love of music.

My journalism mentor is the demi-god Hunter S. Thompson. I dedicated both books to him and wrote about his hardcore love of music. I was listening to Metallica’s “Unforgiven” when the title Vampires of Charity popped into my head.

My go-to song is Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb,” followed by Tina Turner’s “The Best,” then Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust.”

I end Vampires of Charity with this:

“There is one inspirational video clip. It’s from Blade. Blade is being roughed up in a vampire library, and the guy stabbing him with silver stakes notices that Blade is laughing—he’s got an earpiece. Blade says, ‘I’m expecting company.’ The wall blows out, and Whistler asks, ‘Catch you fuckers at a bad time?’”

The first thing I’m asked after telling someone about my books is, “Aren’t you scared?”

No.

My reasons are spiritual.

When I attended a remote viewing conference in Clearwater, Florida, in 2002, I stood listening to Lyn Buchanan, a Stargate veteran, as he told the most unbelievable stories. I confessed, “It feels good to know I’m not crazy.” He looked down at me and kindly growled, “Doesn’t it?” He also taught me how to bend spoons.

There was a huge image of the Virgin Mary burned into the window of a local Clearwater church. While visiting the site, I watched Jesus hanging on a large wooden crucifix. He began breathing, and I heard, “Fear nothing. Have no fear,” in my head.

Back to politics.

President Trump was touched by God after surviving two assassination attempts, including being shot in the head. After I sent him copies of my books, he sent me back a thank-you note.

I also received a Christmas card from him and demi-goddess Melania.

His brother died of alcoholism.

Trump’s chief of staff, demi-goddess Susie Wiles, described him as having an “alcoholic’s personality,” referring to his big personality and belief that he can do anything—despite the fact that he does not drink. Her perspective reflects how high-functioning alcoholics often exhibit exaggerated traits. She has also spoken about her father, Pat Summerall, a former NFL player and broadcaster, who struggled with alcoholism.

According to Newsmax:

Susie Wiles is on Forbes’ 2025 list of the World’s Most Powerful Women, distinguishing herself as the only American woman in politics to make the list.
