Trump and China

 The exact cost of Trump's trip to China has not been publicly disclosed, but estimates for his trips to similar destinations have ranged significantly, with some reports suggesting costs could be around $3 million per trip based on previous travel expenses. (the dispatch.com)

The trip to China is being funded by the U.S. government, as the CEOs are part of a delegation accompanying President Trump. This includes business leaders with significant interests in China, highlighting the importance of their presence during negotiations. Trump Will Bring 5 Billionaires Worth A Combined $870 Billion On His China Trip. (Forbes)

The “Look Over There,” Trump trick book (so we don’t look for the release of the Epstein Files, or the price of gasoline, the rise in inflation, and of course, Trump’s war of choice in Iran) now includes his trip to China. 

Bidding farewell as Trump travels to China, ready to drool over yet another authoritarian leader, President Xi, Trump actually left us with a bit of truth, something he is averse to. Trump stated, "Not even a little bit" when asked about considering Americans' financial situations during negotiations with Iran, emphasizing that his only concern is preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

A few things, as one of the millions of taxpayers paying for this trip. What is Eric and Laura Trump doing there, and how much more will it cost me for them to do a private bunch of Trump Empire deals? If 5 of the Billionaires whose net worth is a combined $870 Billion and who are also going to do some private business deals while in China, how come they can’t pay, or better yet, why didn’t they insist on paying for this business excursion?

And oh yeah, Trump, what exactly will you be trading to get Xi, to stop aiding the Iranians in shooting down our bases, supporting their government and their proxies? Trump goes to China, watch out, Taiwan!

'A Clockwork Orange'

 A Clockwork Orange explores themes of free will versus state control, highlighting the conflict between individual choice and societal order. It questions the nature of goodness and the morality of using psychological conditioning to enforce behavior, suggesting that true morality must come from within rather than be imposed externally. (SparkNotes-a 1971 film directed by Stanley Kubrick)

As I read the headlines, listen to podcasts, and watch actual lurid, insidious, and immoral acts in real time, my head reels, my gut aches, and I feel my body shake, knowing that these days of Trump and his Fascist army of sycophants are not a movie, but my reality. As in like the movie ‘A Clockwork Orange’, issues of goodness versus evil, accommodating the actions of the worst people in society, and having to witness the psychological dystopia, have become an everyday ritual in America, and I fear becoming ritualized like the fabricated “apple pie”, “white picket fence”, and “baseball.”

The Supreme Court, the supposed highest court in the land, where facts and law are to be upheld, has turned into a Racist sewage plant. The Legislative Branch of Government, which was established as a guardrail against the tyranny of the Executive Branch, has become nothing but a make-a-wish come true for Trump. Corporate Media, for the most part, no longer cares about serving the people, but prioritizes bathing in profits by soothing the very insecure ego of Trump. ICE murdered people, and they remain free to do more. The Congress prefers to arrest trans people but ignores heterosexuals who are pedophiles. The HAVES have more, while the HAVE-NOTS receive less and less.

 I do not want to live in the world ‘A Clockwork Orange’ depicts, I do not want to be forced to live only the life that the “state” chooses, I do not want to become so used to violence, criminality, banality, corruption, vanity, and selfishness. I grow more afraid each day, as we still permit a sick, both mentally and physically, to rule as if he were the God he assumes he should be. I grow frustrated as to how this movie ends!

Once again hypocricy

 What Republicans said about suspending gas tax under Biden. (The Hill)

Then: The move was not received well by Hawley, who said on a radio show that “this is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard of.” ( Sen. Josh Hawley) …. “What the administration, of course, is coming up with is yet another gimmick, another Band-Aid and something they know is dead on arrival up here in Congress,” (Sen. John Thune) …““If he just suspends this gas tax for a period of three months — first of all, he would end up extending the suspension before the midterms for the reasons you alluded to a minute ago — but even if it were just three months, there’s a lot of revenue that still has to — we still have to pay for the upkeep and the maintenance of our interstate transportation network,” (Sen. Mike Lee) (The Hill)

Now: Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced plans to introduce a bill on social media Monday. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) followed up with her own message soon after. (POLITICO)

The words hypocrisy and double standards are no longer relevant when it comes to the Republican, opps, I mean, the Trump Party. It is useless to spend time calling out the men and women who refuse to admit that they are partisan hacks, ready and able to look the fool, act the fool, and remain foolish while stepping on their own words and pretending that, well that was then and this is now, and because this IS now, it is a whole different playing field, and set of rules.

I am certain that if someone had the time and patience, they could list almost eight dozen hypocritical and double standards promoted by the Republican Party. Are they liars? Are they Con Artists? Are they Snake Oil Salespeople? Are they Spinless? Are they the very worst DNA of a Politician? And then what does it say for those who encourage them and keep on voting them into office? 

 

 

hemorrhaging

 Trump is once again hemorrhaging, but like so many other times, he is not losing his own blood, but the blood from everyone else who is not Trump or his children and wife. Trump is imploding; his malignant narcissism, which has been his one and only reason to be, is being challenged, not of course by the Republican Party Politicians, or the Billionaire Tech Bros, or even the Corporate Media, nope, by none other than the Iranians. War is declared, war is won, then war is declared once again. Then a twelve-point, ten-point, one-point peace plan is delivered and disregarded. A cease-fire exists until it doesn’t. Threats of total annihilation are screamed across social media, with strict and severe deadlines demanded. And then once again the threats become nothing but a two-year-old boy whining about taking a nap, and his parents, in this case the Iranians, just tell him to stay in his room until his temper tantrum is finished.

Very few people in this nation, wielding power and prestige, have found the courage to place the freedoms and values of the American public above the Mob Boss demands of Trump. (If we as a nation survive this lunacy and cowardness, hopefully those who had placed their own fortunes above and beyond democracy will not only be publicly shamed, but the public will demand they go rot in some dark, dank corner of a cave.

Trump, they say, is tiring of the war; of course, he is, because the glitter of his military toys has stopped glistening for him. Because it is not his finances, he does nothing and lets our losses go on and on, forcing those of us who actually pay income taxes to foot the bill. Trump has once again demonstrated that he is bogus, bluster, and bull shit, but an excellent bully. Except this time, it seems the Iranians have called his bluff.

Trump is hemorrhaging, but it is not his blood which is pouring out; it is the blood of America and Americans, which, if not stopped, will actually bleed us to death! 

Radicals

 The White House's new counterterrorism strategy includes targeting "radically pro-transgender" groups as potential domestic threats, while omitting any mention of right-wing extremism. This approach has been criticized for misrepresenting the actual risks associated with violence and terrorism in the U.S. (Advocate)

Well, now, how convenient, ignore the wealthy billionaires who support Trump and are listed in the Epstein Files. They pose zero problems because they are heterosexuals, and everyone knows that if you have a whole lot of wealth, and with that whole lot of money, you support Republicans and especially Trump, you are no terrorist, let alone a domestic terrorist. But somehow, if you are a trans person, you are a bad person, a very naughty person out to demolish the integrity, safety, and democratic principles of this nation.  

“Radically pro-gender, if you use the word radically, then of course it means that no bathroom stall is safe, no little girl is safe, and your family values will be drained like your swimming pool by the end of summer.

Sebastian Gorka, the National Counter Terrorism senior director, outlined the policy in comments to The Daily Wire on Wednesday. “In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national counterterrorism activities will prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-gender, or anarchist, such as Antifa,” Gorka said. (American faith.com)

Forget the American Neo Nazi’s, ignore the Christian Nationalist groups, omit the Oath Keepers, play dumb regarding The Heritage Foundation or Turning Point USA…nope, they are just a bunch of white so-called Christians eating apple pie and painting picket fences white.

“Look Over There,” folks ignore anything that might resemble reality!

 

Another necessary suicide

 Cole Allen pleads not guilty to attempting to assassinate President Trump. (MS NOW)

I had no idea that Cole Allen had been placed on suicide watch while in jail. It seems that even after being tested with mental health professionals, and statements by Cole Allen’s attorneys with both groups stating that Cole Allen never acted in any way or communicated a desire to commit suicide, Trump’s private attorney, Jeanine Pirro, made the decision to keep Cole Allen in isolation and to be stripped searched, and of course, placed on suicide watch. Hmm. Makes one wonder don’t it, you know regarding that SUICIDE THINGIE!

I suppose if sudden SUICIDE worked in the Epstein case, perhaps two times is a charm, and the Trump goons could conveniently make the entire case against Cole Allen disappear. I suppose it’s better than having your wife fall down stairs. And I guess it is just Vladimir Putin-ish to have them just fall off balconies or die from some exotic poison! Just saying!

Oh yeah, also, Cole Allen’s attorneys made mention that the two Trump private attorneys, Todd (I can get down on my knees better than Bondi, Mr. President) Blanche, and the ex-FOX propagandist, Pirro, both said they were witnesses, so how the fuck can they act as judges or prosecutors? That is, unless this is an authoritarian Reich?

Ahead of his arraignment, Allen filed a motion seeking to disqualify Pirro and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche from involvement in the case, noting that both of them “were present at the scene during the alleged incident” and “have made statements indicating that they were witnesses to events at the Washington Hilton that evening.”  The defendant’s lawyers further observed in the motion that Trump is the primary alleged victim in the case and that the president and Pirro “have a well-document [sic] relationship for over three decades.” (MS NOW)

Ya' think we are gonna have Mid terms

 Todd Blanche, the U.S. Deputy Attorney General, has publicly supported the idea of having ICE agents at polling stations, stating that "illegals can't vote." This has sparked debate, with critics concerned about potential voter intimidation. (Daily Beast)

Two prominent things that any peon working within the Trump Reich does really well are when asked to tell a truth, they shout, or defer, or act like three-year-olds, almost saying, “If I am what, then what are you?” And the other blatant, sad, sick sociopathic habit they have is to project their evil intentions, never by admitting out loud they intend to commit one more form of fraud or crime, but to suggest someone else did it, or just for “shits and giggles,” propose the possibility of those actions.

Our already fragile Democracy is teetering further to the right. The Supreme Court has dismantled Voting Rights. Red States without voter approval have gerrymandered districts, eliminating most too many of their minorities from having a real chance of representation. And now, we have a real preview of EXACTLY what Trump and his personal and private Department of Injustice plan on doing to rig the Midterms: permit ICE to show up to polling places.  

Todd Blanche makes Pam Bondi look like a Nun, as he is eager to fuck over Americans in favor of not fucking up his chances of becoming Trump’s next Attorney General. Sure, there has been a blue wave, but Trump is placing lots of dams to make certain that wave is drowned out by his Fascist machinations.

Trump fears a Democrat Party majority, knowing the truth about his Epstein Pedophile actions will finally be found out, and Trump is well aware of the grift and fraud he and his Crime Family have committed.

I worry, and have worried that inch by inch step by step Trump has been empowered to dismantle my freedoms, and I worry more about is evil intentions as the Midterms arrive!

 

All that glitters is not gold

 MAGA Pastor's Defense Of New Golden Trump Statue Mocked With Biblical Comparison. “Saying ‘this is not a golden calf’ as you put up a golden calf doesn't cancel that fact out,” one user on X wrote. The statue, named “Don Colossus,” depicts Trump raising his fist in the air, similar to his gesture during the failed 2024 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, and was commissioned by a group of crypto investors. (HuffPost)

Literally, Oh My God. ““This statue is not about worship. It is about honor. It is a celebration of life and a powerful symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the will to keep fighting for America,” Burns wrote on X. “It also reminds us of the hand of God over President Trump’s life. We thank God for preserving him and not allowing his life to be taken, not once, but multiple times.” Said Pastor Mark Burns.

This African American Pastor, without hesitation, or any sign of embarrassment, semblance of hypocrisy identified, a man a jury found guilty of sexual harassment, a three-time adulterer, a fraudster, a blatant liar, and an overt bigot and racist, as a patriot, a fighter for freedom, and someone his God is protecting. Holy shit, Pastor Mark Burns, have you no self-esteem, have you zero truth or honor, have you only disrespect for your religion and your God!

As an African American Pastor, Mark Burns, do you not witness the demise of voting rights for the African American population? Are you blind to the injustice embraced by the Republican Party and the MAGA movement? Literally Holy Shit, Sir.

“This is absolutely idol worship,” said former Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (Ill.)

“This is literally described in the bible as a sin,” sports and politics commentator Keith Olbermann wrote. “Maybe you could read it, ‘Pastor.’ It’s available in all popular bookstores.” 

The 'EVERYMAN', NOPE

 U.S. consumer sentiment has dropped to its lowest point since 1952, with the Consumer Sentiment Index reaching a record low of 48.2 in May 2026. This decline reflects growing concerns over high prices and economic uncertainty. (Trading Economics)

Republicans are largely downplaying the impact of rising energy prices due to the conflict with Iran, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune suggesting that prices will return to prewar levels soon. Some GOP members acknowledge the volatility but believe it is not a major issue at this time. (NBC News).

I know, I know that the world in which Trump lives is an imaginary, gold-plated palace surrounded by adoring peons, who cling to his every lie. But here in the real world, facts should matter, and as a matter of fact, most of we the people, not we the MAGA, are suffering the consequences of fools. 

Maybe for those who supported Trump because he feigned belief in Christian Nationalism, or bathed royally in bigotry, loathes with great zest and zeal any person of color, or pledged an undying allegiance to White Superiority, the fact that even as they are suffering economically, the only thing that matters is that their Idol Trump hates exactly as they do…a kind of ‘EVERYMAN’ for them.

Oh yeah, and as consumer sentiment dropped to its lowest point, for Trump and his billionaire enablers, the priorities of this Reich include building a stadium for an MMA fight on the White House lawn…building a billion-dollar ballroom…building golden arches, redesigning the Reflecting pool…applauding as Trump flies off to his myriad of private golf courses…and all of the side deals the Trump Crime Family has grifted.

 

They walk alike, they talk alike

 “They walk alike, they talk alike, at times they even look alike, what a crazy pair…” (the opening lines from the theme song of the Patty Duke Show, circa 1963-1966)

“Vladimir Putin has used his annual Victory Day speech in Moscow's Red Square to justify his war in Ukraine and denounce Nato. Speaking in front of hundreds of military personnel, the Russian president said he was fighting a "just" war and called Ukraine an "aggressive force" that is being "armed and supported by the whole bloc of Nato". (BBC)

President Trump recently criticized NATO, stating that the alliance "wasn't there when we needed them" during the Iran conflict, and suggested the U.S. might reconsider its membership. He has repeatedly expressed frustration with NATO members not fully supporting U.S. military operations, particularly against Iran. Donald Trump recently blamed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for starting the war with Russia, suggesting that both Zelensky and President Biden share responsibility for the conflict's casualties. (BBC)

America First, but first make Russia a priority. Make America Great Again, not before pleasing the whims and wishes, or is it the demands of Vlad Putin to help make him great again? A compromised President, nothing to worry about Republican voters because as long as this Russian Kompromat (is a Russian term meaning "compromising material", often used to describe damaging information about individuals, particularly public figures, that can be used for blackmail or to discredit them. It has been a common tactic in Russian politics since the Stalin era, involving various forms of evidence (including sexual or scandalous content), who remains your favorite bigot, fuck our own Democracy.

The evidence becomes clearer and clearer, and yet, all that CLEAR EVIDENCE remains ignored, because the people who voted for and still support Trump hate America!

 

 

 

 

 

My opinions

 Just a few of my opinions on Saturday, May 9, 2026. I find that if I don’t express my angst, my anger, my frustration in some manner, I might implode.

Trump renews offensive against Pope Leo, claims pontiff is ‘endangering’ Catholics. There was no reason for the president to start publicly scolding the pontiff again, but he apparently couldn’t help himself. (MS NOW)----I believe a few things, regarding the madman Trump. First, I do believe that as a part of his malignant narcissism, Trump does indeed believe he is a God, and as such, cannot permit any other human to have higher powers than Trump. And I also believe that since Pope Leo happens to be an American citizen, Trump is jealous that any other American might be perceived as having more power than the sad, sick, and deranged Trump.

The government finally released its UFO files. Prepare to be underwhelmed. The Defense Department released 161 documents on unidentified aerial phenomena Friday. Secretary Pete Hegseth called it a “historic transparency effort.” Researchers called it more of the same. (MS NOW)------ I believe a few things regarding this disclosure. One is that Trump knew he was nowhere in the UFO files, even though many of us believe he is in fact some kind of alien creature. And I believe that Trump is running out of “look over there,” bull shit, so suddenly these files are released, buying him a little more time to not discuss the files in which he does appear, the Epstein Files.

Handwriting on newly released note matches one found after Epstein’s death, experts tell AP Three forensic document examiners who reviewed the notes at the request of The Associated Press concluded that they have or appear to have common authorship. (MS NOW)------Interesting, how suddenly, hidden in some random book, we now discover a handwritten note, presumably by Jeffrey Epstein. Two notes with the same handwriting, but none of the experts can definitely claim it is Epstein’s handwriting. Hmm. There are thousands of pages still missing from the DOJ collection of Epstein evidence, but wham bam thank you ma’am, out of the supposed suicide note is discovered. One more look over there bull shit attempt, to cover up the heinous, insidious, and criminal behaviors of Trump and his billionaire pedophile buds. I am certain all of the wealthy pedophiles are betting on the fact that they can outlast the rest of us in discovering their dark, dirty, and dangerous past.

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Don't Worry, Be Happy"

 Here's a little song I wrote. You might want to sing it note for note. Don't worry be happy. In every life we have some trouble. But when you worry you make it double. Don't worry be happy. Don't worry be happy now. (Don’t Worry, Be Happy/Bobby McFerrin)

Republicans who slammed Biden’s gas prices are preaching patience for Trump. Four years after lambasting the Biden administration, GOP lawmakers are urging voters to be patient as gas prices climb over $4.50 per gallon. (MS NOW)

Senator Foghorn Leghorn, John Kennedy of the Banana Republic of Louisiana, which officially made it impossible for the African American community to have real representation in Congress, sitting on his arrogant ass on his throne in the Senate, insists that Americans should be patient.

“There are trade-offs,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., recently told MS NOW. “I think the American people understand it. They’ve been through conflicts in the Middle East before. They know these prices will come down once the conflict is over.”

 This I have no idea regarding how priorities of real-life people in America actually work, a douchebag in the Senate imagines that Americans will understand. Understand what Senator Foghorn Leghorn, why we are at war, and what our plans are to end this war, which by Trump’s original statement, might last only a few weeks and is now two months and ten days old. Or Senator Ass wipe, exactly what tradeoffs are you suggesting Americans Trade Off? Should we trade off paying for rent, so we can pay for gas? Should we trade off paying for medical coverage to pay rent? Should we trade off buying a decent amount of groceries to keep three meals on the table for rent?

Be happy, don’t worry, be happy insist the Republicans in Congress…what a bunch of arrogant and insincere people!

 

A "love tap!"

 President Trump described the recent U.S. retaliatory attacks on Iranian targets as merely a “love tap,” downplaying concerns about the ceasefire with Iran during a statement on May 7, 2026. (FOX).

The Commander-In-Chief, aka the Commander-In-Ineptitude, has coined a new term for US warfare: “love tap.”  Hmm, “love tap,” coming from the mouth of a beast who has never demonstrated love for anything but himself, it is not only awkward hearing him say this, but very worrisome that the guy who is commanding a nation with destructive power calls any kind of skirmish a “love tap!” 

A “love tap,” as in nothing to see here, folks, just a wee bit of a spat between two lovers, no harm, no foul, just some domestic dispute, where both parties will certainly kiss and make up! Holy Shit!

And as if Trump’s description of war as a “love spat” was not scary enough. Demented Don Old, showcasing why he needed three cognitive tests, and most likely a fourth and fifth, went on to comment on more warfare issues with Iran.

“Trump, in a post on social media Thursday, said that “there was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers.” He added that “numerous small boats” were sunk by U.S. forces and Iranian missiles launched at destroyers were “easily knocked down.” “They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean,” Trump said of the missiles, “very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” (The Washington Post)

The isn’t it time for grandpa to be placed in a nursing home, Trump, compared Iranian missiles as dying butterflies, and of course with Trump, those butterflies were beautifully dying. Holy Shit!

 

 

The absurdity

 The lack of insight, the inability of introspection, the pure devotion to lies, the bathing in oxygen, each and every member of the Trump Reich, has no intentions of speaking a truth, or realizing just how insidious and useless they are in helping America to thrive, and remain of any moral purpose in this world in which we live!

Ambassador Mike Waltz, in a push for a U.N. resolution, they and other Gulf countries intend to put to a security council vote. It demands Iran stop attacks, remove all mines and cease tolling ships passing through the strait. “If a country chooses to oppose such a simple proposition, do they really want peace?” Waltz said. “Now is the time for choosing. Are the countries of the council choosing to stand with a regime that slaughters its own people, that brutalizes its neighbors, that strangles the world’s economy?” (The Washington Post)

The US Ambassador to the United Nations has the audacity to call out other countries for slaughtering their own people. Yet here in Trump-Landia, our government, in cold blood, murdered Rene Good and Alex Petti right in front of everyone’s face murdered Rene Good, Alex Petti, shot them, because they were abiding by the laws of the US Constitution and protesting the government.

Then this Trump schmuck has the audacity to say brutalizes its own people. ICE grabs people out of their homes, out of their cars, cuffs innocent children, and kidnaps individuals with absolutely no due process.

And to top it off, Mike Waltz has the audacity to say that it strangles the world economy. Illegal tariffs by the Trump Reich, without any foresight or plans, Trump wages war with Iran, completely absent regarding the repercussions of doing so as it relates to the Strait of Hormuz.

Ambassador Mike Waltz, one more perfect example of the kind of low-life, dumb as dirt, immoral liar that completely describes this entire Trump Reich!

 

 

 

Don't worry, be Patriotic

 Gas prices have risen by more than $1.50 per gallon since President Donald Trump launched attacks against Iran almost 10 weeks ago, and throughout that time, Republican lawmakers have offered a consistent response to the increased costs: It’s a sacrifice we have to make. (MS NOW)

So, now as the Republicans want to charge the taxpayer with a $1billion elites only ballroom, as the Trump-initiated war in Iran is on, then off, then maybe on or maybe off again, as Trump flies off to play golf one more thousandth time, costing the taxpayers to fly him on his frequent vacations, as SNAP benefits and health Care Costs continue to rise because the Republicans only seem to care about being Pro-Life, when it comes to controlling women’s bodies, SO NOW, we are being told that increased costs of gasoline is a Patriotic sacrifice we all should just shut up about and be grateful that it is costing the taxpayers a billion dollars a day.

The Republicans who were outraged at the $3.15 price of gasoline during the Biden Administration don’t feel like discussing with the media why, now that gasoline prices are higher than that and climbing, they suddenly call upon patience. And when asked why, suddenly these same Republicans feel it is Patriotic to support the Trump War, they remind reporters that it is none of their business.

No accountability to the public, none. Fearing repercussions from their Dear Leader, these cowards in Congress provide a middle finger to the American public. How in the world, unless you are a billionaire, a bigot, a racist, or just a person who enjoys shooting yourself in your own foot, could even consider voting Republican in November or ever!

What, now!

 Operation Epic Fury, according to the bull shit artists glowing like enriched uranium, from within the White House, is over. Not necessarily because the war with Iran is over, but to skirt the legalities of declaring a war without the consent of Congress, Operation Epic Fury, like magic, is finished. Wham bam no thank you, ma’am! Remember that Operation Fury was never necessary because until Trump decided to both try and keep the Epstein Files from contaminating the news, and to think that somehow, he, Trump, could pull off an invasion of Iran surpassing any President before him. Like almost every gimmick Trump has tried and failed at, Operation Epic Fury was dead on arrival, but this time, this death actually caused the lives of many Americans and thousands of non-Americans.

Now, because Trump said so, and his German Nazi enablers like Hegseth and Rubio have been instructed to do so, we can forget Operation Epic Fury (because it was so successful-NOT), and the newest line of bull shit to erupt from the radioactive, miserable lives of the White House liars is something more American-sounding, more benevolent, as in Project Freedom. You know a project to reopen the Straits, which had been opened until Operation Epic Fury closed them. Uh-Huh!

So, now Trump and his Fascist leaning, self-serving anti-American slot of sycophants, thinking that all Americans either watch FOX or listen to Right Wing Podcasts, are certain that this newest con can convince the USA citizens that this entire war was created to keep freedom of the seas alive. 

But wait, just as Rubio and Hegseth were “just following orders,” the demented mind of Trump stepped up and declared that, for now, Project Freedom is on hold. 

Trump announced the U.S. will temporarily pause “Project Freedom,” which involves escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, following requests from Pakistan and other countries. The president cited recent U.S. military gains and ongoing negotiations as reasons for the pause, emphasizing that the blockade against Iran will remain in place. The suspension is intended to create space for talks between the U.S. and Iran to be finalized, with the operation expected to resume if an agreement is not reached. (MS NOW).

WOW, just to be clear, the enriched uranium was never removed, the fall of the Iranian Regime did not fully collapse, as a matter of fact, more hardliners are in power, the Iranian people did not rise up, the Strait, which was already open, is now closed. There is war, then there isn’t, there are peace talks, but then they do not exist. There is a ceasefire, but not always. There was a need for Epic Fury costing billions of dollars, but that is so passe that instead we have Project Freedom, except not right now. 

God Bless America!

 

 

Republicans just do not care

 GOP offers $1B for White House security, sparking dispute over ballroom. Senate Republicans maintain their proposal would authorize security construction, but not Trump’s ballroom. The White House disagrees. (The Washington Post)

It never ends when it comes to the Republican Party placing the American debt deeper and deeper in deficit mode. These are the same hypocrites who have decried that it is too costly to provide affordable health care, nutrition programs, after-school care, or universal pre-school. This is the Party that has decided not to tax billionaires their fair percentage based on their wealth. This is the Party that so far has no problem in stopping the billion-dollar-a-day expense for Trump’s “look over there war” in Iran. 

This is the Party that keeps telling us don’t worry about the price of groceries, it’s Biden’s fault, and if you are a true Patriot, then spending $4 or $5 or $6 on gas should not upset you, and besides, once the Trump Iran War is over, gasoline will be so cheap that you will thank Trump.

Now the $400 million ballroom, which at first was going to be $300 million and was going to be paid by the billionaires who do not pay their fair share of taxes, is no longer $400 million but $1billion, because somehow whatever the fuck kind of security the White House once had is obsolete. And on top of that, Republican bull shit, let’s kiss Trump’s orange ass, insidious action, Führer Trump is still having his selfish, self-serving hissy fit by insisting that this money IS GOING TO PAY FOR THE BALLROOM.

The greed, the grift, the gluttony, and the right in our face of FUCK OFF PEASANTS by the Republicans is disgusting…and yet there are fools enough in this nation who support them!

 

He JUST doesn't care

  

About 17,000 Spirit Airlines employees lost their jobs overnight when the airline abruptly shut down operations. They are now unemployed, have no access to health care, and all that floated from the toilet bowl, which is the Trump Reich, is:

Team Trump tries to blame Biden for Spirit Airlines’ collapse, but reality gets in the way. 

There’s ample evidence to the contrary. As The Associated Press reported, “Although Spirit had gone bankrupt twice before, the company said high oil prices, which have been rising because of the war with Iran, made it impossible to stay aloft.” NBC News added, “Spirit, which has struggled to maintain consistent profitability since the Covid-19 pandemic, had been looking to emerge from its second bankruptcy in less than a year. But those plans were derailed amid soaring jet fuel costs sparked by the outbreak of the war with Iran.” (MS NOW)

Trump was at his Doral Golf Club on Sunday, May 3, 2026. Trump was busy working with architects to dismantle the three public golf courses in Washington, DC, hoping to transform them into a collage of his golf courses across the nation and around the world. Trump was getting ready to fly his personal jet (no, not Air Force One), but the grift, I mean gift, jet from the government of Qatar. Trump was busy painting the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Pool some kind of sky blue. Trump, once he flew to his Doral golf club in Florida, used Air Force One to fly 80 minutes to visit his two other golf clubs in Florida.

Demolishing the White House, building a Ballroom, planning a Golden Arch, playing golf, none of which seems to say, “America First,” rather all of which scream “Trump First.”

Unemployed, no affordable health coverage, price of groceries rising like the flood waters of a broken dam, and gasoline at the pump at a 20% increase in just the last few days. The Trump War in Iran continues at an estimated cost of a billion dollars a day, with new details finally finding oxygen, that the destruction to the American bases in the Middle East, hit by the Iranians, will cost the taxpayer billions and billions of dollars.

What a strange way to make America great, again!

 

 

Like, DUH!

 Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Top Republicans say Trump pulling troops from Germany sends ‘wrong signal’ to Putin. The GOP statement is a rare rebuke of Trump, whose foreign policy and other decisions have largely gone unchallenged by congressional Republicans. (MS NOW)

Like DUH…I read articles like this, and my mind kind of explodes. Top Republicans suddenly have a “whack on the side of the head,” it’s as if they have been sleepwalking these past few months, paying zero attention to the Trump Reich and his Lieutenants, who have criticized President Zelensky of Ukraine, or have insisted that the only peace plan for Ukraine is for Ukraine to cede its territory to Putin, that Russia had invaded.

Add to that, the red-carpet welcome Trump lavished on Putin when he landed in Alaska, the hours-long phone call Trump had with Putin regarding Iran, and of course the permission for Russian oil to be back on the petroleum market, boasting income for Russia to pay for the military intervention into Ukraine.

And let’s go back in time when Trump publicly asked if “Russia was listening!”

The top Republicans have been way too silent, way too eager to please Trump’s desires to side with Putin and Russia, at the expense of our allies and at the detriment of NATO. Pretending that Trump is either a Russian agent, being blackmailed by Putin, or so enamored of becoming a dictator like his idol Putin, because doing so kept them from getting on Trump’s enemy list, has been nothing but an outright fuck you to our Democracy and to those of us who prefer freedom to Fascism.

So suddenly these top Republicans have crawled out of Trump’s ass, to actually see the truth!

 

 

 

 

He can identify ANIMALS

 President Donald Trump rambled about his ability to correctly identify animals as he touted his mental acuity on Friday, while suggesting his own supporters would not pass such a test. I took three of them. Aced all of them, by the way,” Trump rambled. “I’m the only president to take a cognitive test, because I don’t think Obama could pass it. I don’t.”

“I’m in a room of brilliant people, but a lot of you wouldn’t have been able to answer those 10 questions,” the president declared. “And when I got the score in the test, the doctor said, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen—’” (The Daily Beast)

Speaking to a large group of his supporters at ‘The Villages’, in Florida, the largest retirement village in the USA, Trump touted that he is such a brainiac, that somehow, because his IQ is bigger, best and better than most human beings, his doctors insisted he take cognitive tests, not only one or two, but because he is so smart he has taken three!

Cognitive tests for seniors are assessments designed to evaluate mental functions such as memory, attention, and reasoning. These tests help identify potential cognitive impairments and can guide further evaluation if necessary. (Alzheimer’s Association).

I am taking a large inhale of air as I write this, because as much as I want to laugh at this older, demented man, lacking any insight or ability of introspection, I am feeling a knot in my stomach, because this man is not someone’s grandpa in need of intervention; he happens to be the President of the United States. He is the Commander-In-Chief; he is the guy with the nuclear codes. I must wonder, who in the Cabal of enablers has zero care for the welfare of this nation?

Oh, yeah, and the residents of ‘The Villages’ who support him seem to have no problem being told that they may be smart, but compared to him, they are idiots! But then again they continue to support him, so maybe they are, indeed, idiots!

 

So, NOW his War is TERMINATED

 White House tells Congress Iran war has been ‘terminated,’ skirting 60-day clock. President Trump’s letters come at a key moment on Capitol Hill, where Republican criticism of the conflict has been relatively muted as lawmakers have warily eyed the two-month marker that could force a war powers vote. (MS NOW)

Well, that was easy, wham bam, he began the war, wham bam, right now, he says he ended the war. So, to avoid any flak from the fleckless Republican led majority in Congress, Trump schemers and liars decided that whatever the changing goals were to end this, as Trump summarized, “EXCURSION” (and I thought English was Melania’s second language have taken place, not right before the American public’s eye, but in that imaginary dungeon in which Trump thrives.

So, now that Trump has terminated his Let’s Hide the Epstein Files War, does that mean that the approximate $1Billioin a day it is costing the taxpayers has also ended? Does that mean that the $4 to $6 a gallon price of gasoline, American drivers and workers will terminate and go back down to at $3 a gallon? Does that mean the Gulf of Hormuz reopened again, like it was before Trump started a war, and then it was closed? Umm, does that mean that all of the nuclear materials are once again under international supervision, as in the plan implemented by Obama, which Trump immediately fucked over? And does that mean that the regime change happened, or is that still a secret!

The con goes on, and on, and on. It continues because 99% of the Republicans do not care for truth, or honor or for the American people, but prefer thinking that they will remain in power by supporting this lying piece of Despot shitwipe!

 

Despotism

 Despotism is a form of government where a single ruler has absolute power and authority, often exercising it in an oppressive or tyrannical manner. This type of rule is characterized by a lack of checks and balances, leading to arbitrary and unfair governance. (Merriam-Webster).

250 years later, and what have we become, a nation that has permitted a Despot to become a king, and a political party a sack of shitty enablers. Kowtowing has become a national pastime, our Justice system a roadblock for individual freedoms, monopolies piling up faster than the cars of a derailed railroad, and our once fourth branch of government has been co-opted by the billionaires and board members who prefer big bucks rather than fair and balanced.

The interests of Americans take a back seat to Trump’s kingly demands. Our nearly 80-year-old president has an authoritarian obsession with remaking America in his image. (MS NOW)

How easy it was for the Fascists/Christian Nationalists/ Heritage Foundation/ Dark Monied domestic terrorists to pretend that all they wanted and all they were was Populists, making America great and making America first. Sell the snake oil that there were THE OTHERS out there who, like the monster under your bed, were coming for the hearts and souls of decent men and women who had hate in their hearts, bigotry in their blood, and selfishness in their souls.

A Ballroom, for the King and his billionaire bogus buds. Corruption in the form of the Trump family grifting off the taxpayer. Avoidance of the Constitution, replacing it with cliff notes of the Bible and babble of faux preachers and pastors. A felon, a rapist, and an accused pedophile, and his merry band of dangerous “what’s in it for me,” gangsters propping up a malignant narcissist, and all we the people seem capable of doing is watching the rape of our democracy!

 

 

upon our 250th

 US Supreme Court guts key provision of Voting Rights Act. (Reuters)

Upon our 250^th anniversary as a Republic, after decades of attempts to correct the wrongs that drift into the crevices of a democracy still trying to grow and develop into more than just an idea, an ideal, we find ourselves traveling back in time, permitting those who are the antithetical purposes of creating a society free of confining its citizens.

The same people who decided that women do not have ownership over their own bodies, the people who claim that a President, is much more like a King or Queen, the same people who roil at the idea of any kind of legal and ethical guidelines for their behavior, have decided that any which way this nation can legally stop its citizens from voting, is exactly the way forward as we end our 250^th year of existence, and begin a new anniversary facing backwards rather than forward.

This Court, which praised the existence of Dark Money, which prescribed gerrymandered districts as some kind of Constitutional right, this Court, which has redefined the Executive Branch as the pillar of our government to practice authoritarianism, has decided that the legalities of the rules of law weigh less than the partisan politics, preferring philosophical definitions above reproach.

And here we have Justices sitting on the highest court in the land, who, at their own whims, or worst of all, the whims of their moneyed puppet masters, or their pastors or preachers, can reshape and remake our freedoms for the entirety of their lives as Justices.

250 years, and suddenly every single right and freedom we have fought for is facing its death!

Seeing is believing

Seeing is believing:

Donald Trump expressed frustration on Truth Social, stating that "it's too much work" to manage the demands of his presidency and social media presence. He often shares his thoughts late at night, reflecting his busy schedule and the challenges he faces. (The Independent) 

Too much work, says the President of the United States. Then dude quit, there ain’t a whole lot of people who would be sad to see you go. I mean, it must be a whole lot of work to make up bull shit promises, lies, and having to ignore all of that. It must be even more work to invent a war and then have to think about what you just did! Or maybe just become a podcaster and forget your job as President.

Today, Tuesday, April 28, 2026, we had a photo op of the Royal Family from Great Britain, standing with the two people who think they are the Royal Family of America. But what caught my eye, (after watching Trump seem to sway and pivot, and almost lose his balance, or listening to this very demented man try to read a speech from a piece of paper right in front of his eyes), was the fact that standing next to the King of England and the King of America were their two “tricks” standing all in white. Melania and Camilla both have had affairs with married men, both having committed adulterous affairs, and now both are supposed to represent a high moral standard. And their now husbands both having done a fine job cheating on their ex-wives!

If you have not viewed any of the videos of fearful, terrorized participants running for cover, hiding under tables, or crawling on the floor to escape the ballroom during the White House Correspondents' Dinner, it is worth a watch.  There, we had ladies in high heels and ball gowns, men in tuxedos, all having to fend for their lives while dressed up. It must have been difficult… but was it as difficult as the kids in sneakers and T-shirts and teachers in casual clothing who had to duck and cover, hover in a corner or a dark room? I am still waiting to hear from anyone who had to go through the trauma of that night, print or write or blog about how terrifying it was for them, but how much more horrifying it must have been and still remains for the victims of each and every school shooting! 

 

Ain't that peculiar

 “Ain't that peculiar? A peculiar-arity. Ain't that peculiar, baby? Peculiar as can be.” (‘Ain’t That Peculiar’ A. Warren/S. Robinson)

3 days after correspondents’ dinner, FBI still unsure who shot officer outside ballroom. The Secret Service officer was wearing a bulletproof vest, but sources say investigators haven’t found the fragment that pierced it — and can’t definitively say whether it came from the suspect. (MS NOW)………. This is beginning to sound like the Parker Brothers Board Game of CLUE, who dunnit’, damn it! Every time you play the game of CLUE, it is a different person who had dunnit’

Trump stated he was evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner and waited to see what was happening after JD Vance was rushed off stage. (NBC News)……..So Trump sat in his seat a few seconds longer than his VP, to see what was happening, it almost seems as if he knew what would happen, but had to make sure there was just the right amount of PR chaos!

The Washington Post reported that the Trump administration actually provided a lower level of security for the dinner than it has done in many other meetings of top officials, despite the president attending along with several members of his cabinet. In such cases the Secret Service are often given oversight of all security and the event designated a “national specialsecurity event”, which did not happen on Saturday, the paper reported, citing local and federal officials. (The Guardian)…….. Interesting that when the top echelon of the Trump Reich is all together, the highest security procedures are not established. Kind of, almost like the same excuse used by the White House when the supposed assassination attempt in Butler, PA. happened. Sources cited a less secure detail. Amazing, ain’t it? It's almost as if someone knew that shit was about to happen, and it would be much easier to let it happen!

 

 

 

Now It's the TOP-Secret Ballroom

 “What happened last night is exactly the reason that our great Military, Secret Service, Law Enforcement and, for different reasons, every President for the last 150 years, have been DEMANDING that a large, safe, and secure Ballroom be built ON THE GROUNDS OF THE WHITE HOUSE,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday morning. He said that the shooting incident, which caused Trump and senior administration to be hustled out of the Hilton hotel complex, and hundreds of guests to duck for cover, “would never have happened with the Militarily Top Secret Ballroom currently under construction at the White House”. (The Guardian)

A BALLROOM, no longer just one more scam by Trump for him to build something large using taxpayers’ dollars, no longer a personal ego trip by a malignant narcissist, now suddenly the purpose of THE BALLROOM, all along had been just for security reasons. And to make certain this lie reached a critical level of suddenly becoming truth, a well-staged Press conference in the unsafe Hilton Hotel had been planned to speak about it. And if you looked at each and every ass licking Trump sycophant standing adoringly ogling Trump, not a one of them seemed to be suffering any traumatic consequences.

So, the stateroom in the White House, as Trump said, one of the safest places, is no longer safe enough. So, Trump insinuates that he is not safe going out in public, so one has to wonder: when he does go out and about in communities, will he be carrying a pocket-sized ballroom? And when Trump is busy playing golf (which he calls his Executive Time), will the Secret Service carry ballrooms in their pockets, which all you need is water for them to expand?

The first thing out of this Snake Oil Salesman Felon, is not I am glad everyone is safe, I want to work with both Political Parties and deal with gun violence or political rhetoric which causes chasms within our Republic…NOPE, the very first thing on Trump’s mind is that he wants his $400 million ballroom, and he wants it now!

 

 

 

Not gonna ignore it

 I refuse to ignore this latest con from the Trump Administration. It would be too convenient, to place a hanky to my eyes and as the tears fell, pretend that what I just witnessed was true, was out of the blue…No, I will not fall prey to the evil and insidious games Trump and his Reich play, day in and day out on Americans, hoping indeed that we will continue to remain gullible.

There are way too many instances of either déjà vu, Groundhog Day once again, and once again, the Trump Reich is doing their best to gaslight Americans. 

As of April 26, 2026, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has ordered a major review of the Secret Service following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, indicating she is likely meeting with them to address security concerns. (MS NOW)

Huh! Trump’s ass licker Chief of Staff is meeting with the Secret Service, not the FBI, not the CIA, not the DOJ. Come on, the entire Upper Echelon was in the same room at the same time, and gunshots were heard, and they had to evacuate King Trump and his Court Jesters, and Susie Wiles, with zero experience in crime or justice or attempted murder, was the one meeting with the Secret Service.

And then there is Trump praising the Secret Service, even though way too many experts report that there was not a lapse in security procedures, but not enough security. If you paid any attention to the so-called assassination in Butler, the same two problems of lapse in security and not enough security were at issue. Makes a curious person wonder why, when suddenly an assassination attempt takes place, there ain’t enough security and the security seem haphazard. Kind of like insinuating that if we cut back on procedure, we, the Trump Reich, can make things happen the way we want.

Nope, as I said and will insist on stating, something is very rotten going on, and on, and on!

HMMM!

 I need a little more to understand regarding this incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night. I mean, I am an American citizen, and a whole lot of my taxpayer dollars were spent at that event, so I am puzzled, and want some answers. No, not the lies and bull shit which will flow from the White House cadre of criminals, but some truthful answers, the kind you never find on FOX!

So, we have the braggadocios P***y Grabber, and accused Pedophile (Trump), and his wife, I have never known or been with or even recall having been with any Pedophile (Melania), along with almost the entire ass licking, subservient, spineless, and ballless clown Trump Cabinet Members in the same place at the same time, and we are to believe that with all of those American Royalty, the FBI, the Secret Service, the DC Metropolitan Police, (all of whom we the people pay their salaries) were unable to establish the amount of security, and precaution, and standards, to keep anyone, EVERYONE, from entering the area with firearms or knives, or weapons of any sort!

Hmm! No, I mean HMM! The very first thing, of course coming from the mouths of the acting DOJ Director and Trump’s personal lawyer, is that this suspect intended to harm Trump. And yet, and yet with almost the entire gaggle of US Government goons assembled in one place, this incident, by the “lone wolf,” (I love when they define the attempted murderer as a “lone wolf”, it sounds so dramatic, was able to take place, or, just because this is the Trump Reich, maybe it had been staged. Just saying!

No one was hurt. I am relieved because the FBI, the Secret Service, or the Metro Police finally apprehended the suspect, but imagine if, in fact, the President and the Vice President had been murdered, we would have woken up to President Mike Johnson. And that is a very frightening thing!

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

“For the third time in less than two years, Trump found himself under the threat of gunfire. Hundreds of people — table after table — dove to the floor, reporters huddling next to Trump officials and other dinner guests, some draped by white linen tablecloths, others pressed up against the ballroom’s walls. (The Washington Post)

Three times, hmmm. One must wonder if, this time, it was real or a means by which the Trump Reich needed another reason to have the public look the other way, and stop looking at low polling numbers, the Epstein Files, The Trump/Iran War/the prices of groceries and gasoline/and the deterioration of both Trump’s mental and physical health.

Thankfully, this time, no other innocent people were killed, and it seems that the injuries were not life-threatening. 

Of course, Trump posted a picture of the alleged shooter shirtless on the hotel’s kitchen floor. Good graphics to show the people that they arrested him. Lots of this and that floating around, from the fact that the suspect was a hotel guest, to the fact that he was out to harm as many members of the Trump Cabinet.

Hmm, one must wonder how this could have happened. I mean, almost the entire Trump Reich was to be in one place at one time, so where were all of the security systems in place by both the Secret Service and the FBI? 

I remember, as a young child, being read the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, and wondering, not how many times a liar can get away with telling his falsehoods, but just how many times a person remains stupid enough to believe them. And then I remember thinking, when the lie is no longer a lie, and morphs into the truth, how can you ever be able to tell the difference the next time it happens! 

 

  

"EXECUTIVE TIME"

 When you are aloof, arrogant, and uninterested in the common man and woman, insincere, and never truly give any fucks about anyone but yourself, and you happen to be President of the United States, you, of course, board a plane, leave the White House, and travel to your palace. You do all of this knowing that the cost of jet fuel is at its all-time high, but since you do not pay for any of your vacations, you, of course, don’t care that your travels have been extraordinarily expensive for the taxpayer.

Trump is flying to Mar-A-Lago for one night to participate in a grift. He is then flying back to Washington, all during a period in time when his war is still raging, and because of his war, the price of fuel has skyrocketed. I suppose for Trump, this is just “chump change,” and the chumps paying for his self-serving absence from the White House are you and me.

To make matters worse, the lying press secretary, Karo-Lying Leavitt, has told reporters that Trump’s trip to Florida is considered “EXECUTIVE TIME!” Karo-Lying Leavitt has often used the made-up term “Executive Time” whenever Trump flies to Mar-A-Lago, plays golf there, or is off to one of his other resorts to play golf. The term “EXECUTIVE TIME” is just one more “look over there” term coming from the White House, to continue to confuse the American public. 

After several weeks away from his Palm Beach home, President Donald Trump returned to his Mar-a-Lago Club. His visit coincides with a major cryptocurrency gathering at the private Mar-a-Lago Club that is facing scrutiny from Democratic senators who questioned Trump's role in planning, promoting and, they say, profiting from the event. Trump arrived Friday, April 24 and is expected to leave sometime Saturday, April 25. First lady Melania Trump's birthday is Sunday, April 26. (USA Today)

All the TIME in the world!

 President Trump has stated, "Whatever it takes," indicating that the war with Iran could last longer than the initially projected four to five weeks, and he emphasized, "I don’t get bored," suggesting he is committed to the operation for as long as necessary. (NBC News)

Trump understands the equation. “I have all the time in the World, but Iran doesn’t,” he declared on social media Thursday. He then lashed out at media narratives suggesting he’s desperate to end the war. “Don’t rush me. Don’t rush me,” Trump told reporters. “Every story I see, ‘Oh, Trump is under time pressure,’ I’m not. No, no. You know who’s under time pressure? They are.” (CNN)

Now that Trump says he has all the time in the world to do whatever he, and only he, so desires to do regarding the Iran War (Congress could actually speed up that timeline by denying war powers acts and, of course, the budget for the Trump/Iran War, but I digress).

All we, the people, have to do is just continue to pay higher gasoline prices. Higher grocery prices, higher fertilizer prices, which of course will add to even higher grocery prices. Because Trump gives zero shits about anyone who is not Trump, all we the people will have to do, as Trump has all the time in the world, is witness our government spending a billion dollars a day on Trump’s War of choice. (The Iran war is costing the U.S. roughly $1 billion per day, with estimates ranging from $1 billion to $2 billion daily. The total cost has reached over $11.3 billion in the first six days alone.)

All we, the people, can do while Trump has no idea how to end this war he started, is watch as Erick Trump (the dumbest of the sons, Trump Dumb and Dumber) scams American taxpayers with his company’s drone business. We can watch while Trump talks about his ballroom, his freedom arch, his repainting of the White House walls, and of course, as he flies to his Palace in Florida.

When will someone with power finally say to Trump you have no more time in the world you are fired?

An Influencer...a what?

 “Conservative influencer Brilyn Hollyhand, who billed himself as the new Charlie Kirk shortly after Kirk’s death, is getting mocked online for a particularly offensive hypothetical he discussed that was supposed to make people angry at the left.

“From where I’m standing right here,” Hollyhand, age 19, said, “a 12-year-old girl could travel two hours, claim they’re going to school, get an abortion, have a baby ripped limb-by-limb out of her body, drive back into the States, come home ‘from school.’ Parents have no idea, and politicians are just giddy.”

“That’s what’s allowed in this country.” (LGBTQ Nation)

This dud, er, I mean wanna be dude, who looks like a Charlie Kirk mannequin with the same lying eyes, and lips that double speak, has decided that a 12 year old girl getting pregnant is not the issue or important enough to discuss, rather the real immoral thingie, for this 19 year old adolescent snake oil salesman, is that she at 12 years of age should carry that baby whether she was raped by her dad or brother, uncle or grandpap, and that at the age of 12 should enjoy motherhood.

I am a man of a certain age, and thank goodness, within the madness of growing up in the 1960s, my contemporaries did not have the sudden rise to power of people called influencers. I still do understand how unqualified, very opinionated and biased, often bigoted, and mostly uneducated folks gain the trust and notoriety to become influencers! 

For this douchebag, who himself has far from a life lived, to pontificate hypothetically that a 12-year-old girl is somehow a woman, reminds me of the same people on the right who think that the girls raped and sexually abused by Trump and Epstein, and the cauldron of billionaires, are old enough to just relax and stop complaining!

Does this right-wing Conservative Christian nationalism ever end? Will those who do damage to others ever be held accountable, and when will this whole influencer bull shit just dry up and go away?

 

 

"I'm Sorry, So Sorry"

 I'm sorry, so sorry. That I was such a fool. I didn't know. Love could be so cruel. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yes. (I'm sorry) I'm sorry. (So sorry) So sorry. Please accept my apology. But love is blind. And I was too blind to see. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yes. (‘I’m Sorry/by Self & Allbritten)

I ain’t buyin’ what your sellin’ Tuck! Nope bud, your history of lyin’ goes way back, as far back as your decisions to change your opinion when that opinion ain’t sellin’ anymore. Tuck, my man you made millions upon millions working your voodoo over at FOX. You were paid richly for the con, and you knew exactly who was in the market to purchase your home-made bigotry, racism, xenophobia, and paranoia. You ain’t no dummy Tuck, just a cold hearted liar, the kind of guy who most likely would set fire to a theater, lock the doors on the way out and then blame the entire fiasco on some minority, someone you delight in identifyin’ as the other.

I imagine you have already selected the next best bull shit person to become King of the Morons, so you pretend that somehow you have a conscience. You hurt lots of people, Tuck, and until Trump’s popularity began to slide, you suddenly came up with this newest rendition of SORRY!

Oh, yeah, Tuck, you can tell your ex-co-star Megan (please notice me) Kelly over at FOX propaganda and bull shit, that I ain’t buyin’ the snake oil she is tryin’ to sell. Ms. (but I am important too) Kelly changes her mind a lot more than you do; she is less cautious than you, perhaps more insecure than you, who knows. 

So, sorry Tuck, and Megan, your sleaze bag tricks are nothing but ploys and plots, schemes, and scams to jump the Trump ship, and I suppose highjack whatever hateful cruise liner comes along next!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conveniently it is now your body

 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday announced an end to the mandatory flu vaccine for all service members, citing a need to restore ‘medical autonomy.’ (MS NOW)

I have so many things to say, I must contain myself or this blog will become as long a read as the novel ‘War and Peace!’ But I will SAY this, if anything, Pete (Vlad The Impaler) Hegseth is superior at, it is his inability to witness his own hypocrisy in action, in plain sight. 

Pete (The Impaler) Hegseth has the audacity to say he wants to restore MEDICAL AUTONOMY, I mean, Holiest of fucks! Hey Petey Boy, when a female desires to decide the fate of her pregnancy, or if she so desires to take the Morning After Pill, you and your Christian Nationalists want her arrested or even tried for murder. You and your White Nationalists have zero tolerance for HER MEDICAL AUTONOMY. NONE!

“We’re seizing this moment to discard any absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities,” Hegseth said in a video posted to his social media channels. “In this case, this includes the universal flu vaccine and the mandate behind it.” (Washington Post)

Of course, Pete (The Impaler had no time to read about bouts of disease that killed the Military in every war from WWI to Vietnam, because if he did so, he would realize that one of the biggest threats to our Troops is disease.

“But we will not force you, because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable,” he said. (Washington Post)

Once again, Mr. Bull Shit and Mr. Christian Nationalist, and of course, the guy who is so insecure about his own masculinity, spew their bull shit when they SHOUT, “your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.” Perhaps Petey thinks vaccines make you a “sissy,” maybe he thinks that believing in the use of vaccines makes you too woke. But fuck it, Petey, how dare you use the excuse it’s your body and that makes it non-negotiable. 

I know you loathe women, no, not in divorcing them or getting physical with them in a drunken state, but you loathe them when they decide that if they want to seek an abortion, or a pill to make certain there is no pregnancy, it somehow AIN’T their body there choice! 

 

 

A "JAGOFF"

 Jagoff is a derogatory slang term from Pittsburghese that refers to a person who is a jerk, stupid, or inept. It is commonly used in the Pittsburgh area and has roots in the northern British Isles, derived from the verb "to jag," meaning "to prick or poke."

A jagoff is a jerk, idiot, or really any kind of irritating or unlikeable person, not unlike douchebag. It’s closely associated with the city of Pittsburgh, ya jagoff. (Slang dictionary)

Here are some ways to best describe a JAGOFF.

 Although Trump is the Commander-in-Chief, his irrational and at times bizarre and disturbing behavior is so counterproductive that it seems that military officials reportedly kept him out of the Situation Room during a high-stakes rescue mission in Iran due to concerns about his volatile demeanor. Translated into Pittsburghese, because Trump is such a Jagoff, it was best to keep him away from making any decisions that could affect the lives of the Troops. (Military Times)

Trump’s major concern has always been how to make a profit, no matter who else might lose. His greed is his oxygen. Because the only established goal Trump seems to have with the War in Iran, Trump has been JAGGING OFF investors, with his on-again, off-again declaration of victory or a ceasefire, or the end of the war. One might wonder what this JAGOFF is up to:

Trump's inconsistent messaging regarding the war with Iran appears to be a strategy to manipulate the markets, particularly in response to fluctuating oil prices. Analysts suggest that his announcements often coincide with significant market movements, indicating potential insider trading and market manipulation. (New Republic)

Trump ain’t the only Political JAGOFF, currently floating in the Washington DC toilet, actually, there is a major JAGOFF from the Pittsburgh area, who also deserves his cred as a full-fledged JAGOFF, and that is PA Senator John Fetterman. This JAGOFF has voted to confirm a vast majority of Trump’s personal picks as JAGOFFS, and Johnny Boy continues to ignore the wants and wishes of the vast majority of Pennsylvanian constituents who thought that by not voting for the JAFOFF Dr. OZ, they were going to get a real ally!
