The art of NO deal

 Trump abandons subtlety, eyes Venezuela playbook for Cuba. The American president’s ambitions toward Cuba are increasingly obvious. They’re also eerily familiar. (MS NOW)

Trump is bored with his Iran War. The wham bam and destruction he supposed would happen in declaring war in Iran did not turn out the same way as Venezuela, and Trump’s ego got hurt. Trump only functions when his Toy Tin Soldiers are winning, so what to do, what to do, start another incursion or, as Trump says, “excursion,” and win again!

Mr. Art of the Deal, Trump, I believe, has made a deal with Putin and Xi. Putin can have Europe, and Xi can have the Pacific Basin.

Look closely at how Trump has pulled Troops out of Germany and Poland and is threatening to cut funds for America’s participation in NATO. Consider the non-denial of supporting Taiwan militarily after Trump’s fiasco visit to China. Trump believes, I imagine, that he and his authoritarian buds should just divide the hemispheres into little fiefdoms. 

Putin did nothing to assist their ally Venezuela, and so far, Putin ain’t doing shit to assist Cuba. Why, I am certain it is tit for tat, as Trump pulls America out of NATO. And the only thing Xi told Trump is that if he wants to keep the US-China relationship going, it is Taiwan.

Deal maker Trump assumes that he is smarter than Putin and Xi, and somehow, by kissing their asses, Trump looks powerful in the Western Hemisphere.

Trump is dangerous, but he is also very, very dumb. Putin and Xi are dangerous, but compared to Trump, both are very, very smart and more sinister. Trump will continue to weaken America, thinking he has a deal with Putin and Xi, all the while these two insidious and evil dictators will slowly but surely reclaim the world.

 

 

 

 

Watch what happens

 How Trump is angling to give cash to a MAGA paramilitary. Trump's new slush fund functions as a way to encourage insurrectionists to break the law on his behalf. (MS NOW)

Trump understands that he is a criminal, and he knows exactly how much of his family’s corruption he has enabled. Trump relished his time with Epstein, and now realizes that even with the so-called “suicide of Epstein, the truth of Trump’s immoral and illegal behavior is seeping to the surface. Trump does not want to be held accountable for any of his insidious actions, and will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to avoid imprisonment, due diligence, or justice for his past and present.

So, as I see it, there has been a series of dirty deeds deployed by Trump via the Heritage Foundation, the Supreme Court, and his dutiful eunuchs sitting in Congress from the Republican Party, all intended to keep Trump in power and to avoid any consequences for Trump’s anti-American actions.

Gerrymandered districts were the first ploy in fucking over the right to vote. Keep the Congress Republican by eliminating any Democrat challengers. Demand that the activists, authoritarian Republican justices in the Supreme Court, ban the voting rights bill, knowing full well that the spineless Republicans in Congress will do nothing to bring that bill back to life. Hint, but actually intend, that ICE will suddenly be sent to polling places, adding even more paranoia and fear for the minority voters. Bring back Elon Musk into the fold, so he can either rig the voting machines or spend the money he doesn’t spend on taxes to buy the election for Republicans.

And if none of those grifts don’t seem to catch much action, then purchase your own army of Insurrectionists to become violent and vigilantes, creating chaos and confusion, and civil unrest. Let your paramilitary goons know that you have the dollars to pay them to break the law and get away with it.

And then once your paramilitary has caused duress and destruction, blame it on ANTIFA and pretend that with all of this conflict, Marshal Law must be implemented, and of course, stop the citizens of this nation from voting. 

Trump is drowning in guilt and crime; he knows it, his Klan within his Reich knows it, so for Trump and his Fascists who support him to remain in power, eliminate the threat before it begins. This is not conspiracy thinking on my part; this IS observing Trump and his ilk in action!

 

 

 

To sum it up

 To sum it up:

Trump Shrugged Off Soaring Gas Prices As "Peanuts" Amid The Iran War, And People Have A Lot To Say About It.” I don't even think about that,” Trump said. (BuzzFeed).

The Trump Sush Fund, aka the Weaponization Act: $1.8 billion.

The Trump Ballroom: $400 million.

The Trump Reflecting Pool: $15 million

The Trump Arch: $15 million.

The Trump Iran War: Over $25 billion so far, with little end in sight; some estimates put the total as high as $1 trillion.

The estimated cost to taxpayers for Donald Trump's golf trips since returning to office is $155,400,000, based on the average price per round calculated from previous trips. He has golfed on 111 days out of 486 days since taking office. (PBS).

Affordability ain’t on Trump’s radar or agenda. The rising cost of almost every consumer-oriented item is of no concern to Trump. It seems that those who continue to support Trump don’t really care about what things cost, as long as Trump and his Reich prefer racism and bigotry over morals, values, decency, and freedom.

Trump, who it seems does not pay his fair share of income taxes, as well as his children, has no worries about the price of anything for the peons. And so far, his cadre of peons doesn’t seem to mind it either. When Trump proudly and boastfully calls the rising price of gasoline “as peanuts,” I imagine what he means is it just “Chump Change,” because he knows his voters are CHUMPS…willingly so!

 

 

 

No Middle Ground anymore

 Rep. Thomas Massie, a Trump critic, lost the Kentucky Republican primary after the president endorsed Ed Gallrein. (MS NOW)

The Republicans voting in Kentucky have made it VERY clear that they support Pedophiles, Fraudsters, and Corruption. It is not limited to the Republicans in Kentucky, but for any Republican who voted for the candidates that Donald 34-count Felon endorsed and supported.

I may not have agreed with the myriad policies Rep. Massie had supported throughout his tenure as a Congressperson, but Mr. Massie made it loud and clear that he understood that criminal and immoral acts had taken place and that Trump and the Epstein Class should be held accountable for those heinous acts. The majority of Republicans in Congress, a vast MAJORITY, demonstrated their cowardness and immoral priorities by pretending to ignore the facts regarding the girls who were victimized by Epstein/Maxwell/Trump, and God only knows the many, many billionaires and millionaires.

Mr. Massie learned the sad lesson that in today’s Republican Party, decency is deferred to indifference, taking on Trump is treacherous, and speaking up for the people leaves you at a professional loss.

The MAGA/ Republican voters have once again demonstrated their hatred for those who dare to speak up and speak against their Dear Leader, who, I must suppose, is their Racist and Bigoted Idol. 

As I see it, you either care about justice being sought, or you support Trump; there is no middle ground or excuses that can be made.

Once again HE benefits

 First, it was Make America Great Again. The message was more of Make Bigotry and Racism Great Again in America. The idea that Trump could, would, and should be the guy to make magic in America worked well…perhaps because he bragged about grabbing women by the p***y, had been a three-time adulterer, convicted of sexual harassment, was responsible for an attempted insurrection, and, of course, had 34 felony counts charged against him. Maybe it was his hatred for anyone whose skin was not pearly white. 

Then, to keep the Bigots, the Racists, the Christian Nationalists, the Fascists, the Klan, the Oath Keepers, the American Nazi’s, and of course the FOX viewers extremely excited, the new slogan turned into America First. And of course, his cult bought into the bull shit, praising Trump as a man of the people. But alas alack, the con and corruption can never be contained by Trump, and his sycophant billionaire buds, and suddenly it was no longer Making America Great, or America First, nope, it never was about either idea, rather just to further the self-serving, selfish needs of Trump and his Family of Crime.

After filing a highly unusual lawsuit in which President Donald Trump sued his own administration’s Internal Revenue Service, he settled it through his acting attorney general — also his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche — setting up a team of “volunteers” to dole out nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer money out of what the Department of Justice calls “The Anti-Weaponization Fund.” (MS NOW)

Why Trump’s stock trades are so exceptionally corrupt. The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself. (MS NOW)

I thought our government was to be all about “checks and balances,” but that is just ancient American history. The Republican majority in Congress only cares about not being primaried, and the Supreme Court only cares about what their donors, the Heritage Foundation, find important. And here we go again, watching Trump bankrupt the rest of us as he benefits.

 

 

Now it's derogatory

 Mike Johnson rejects ‘new term Christian nationalism’ as ‘derogatory.’ The GOP House speaker made the comments ahead of the Trump-backed, all-day prayer festival on Washington’s National Mall Sunday. (M NOW)

A few right in your face thingies regarding The Republican party of Trump. They easily noticed and blatantly demonstrated. 

Whenever anyone from The Trump Republican begins to argue that their actions are being interpreted as derogatory, dangerous, or disgusting, the very first thingie The Republican Trump politician does is to identify that critic as either a non-Patriot, a left-wing domestic terrorist, a Communist, and accuses them of suffering from Trump Derangement Condition. When truth is told regarding the inappropriate, illegal or ignorant actions by The Republican Trump politicians, the façade of lies begins to melt, it is like the bucket of water thrown at the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz, and the structure of bigotry, racism, theocracy, and Christian Nationalism is now in plain sight, and the nightmare becomes a day mare!

But sadly, The Republican Trump Party has little to no other reason for its existence, other than pretending that somehow Jesus, the white republican Jesus, fought side by side with Washington and his Troops, to make this new country, a Christian Nation. This fear of the other has been a key component in keeping Trump in power. 

Amazing ain’t it, that Christian Nationalism, as part of their beliefs, adore any heterosexual who commits adultery, any person who can sexually harass others successfully, individuals who participate in pedophilia (except if it’s Gay pedophilia), enjoy the thought that slavery was a freeing experience for the slave, and desire for the Confederacy to come back in style.

MAGA Mike makes Trump almost look honest, as he pretends to be offended by being called out as a liar, a hypocrite, a hater, and someone who has only contempt for the US Constitution!

 

 

Another one bites the orange dust

 Bill Cassidy held Trump accountable. Voters responded by humiliating him. Louisiana’s Cassidy is the first elected U.S. senator to lose a primary in more than a decade. (MS NOW)

Rape and Pillage, Crime and Corruption are meaningless for the Republican voters in Louisiana, and they demonstrated their disdain for democracy, prioritizing authoritarianism as their go-to form of government. As I read the results of the Republican primary in Louisiana, it seems that Trump is God, Trump’s form of racism and hate are gifts from God, and if you betray Trump’s bigotry, you will be cast away!

Why this should matter, to say, any American who believes in our democratic Republic, is that Senator Cassidy actually understood that Trump incited an insurrection, and instead of kowtowing like the majority of his Republican “ass lickers,” pretending that the demise of a free and honest government was at stake.

Trump, if anything, is good at revenge; he is very much like a Mob Boss and will stop at nothing to punish anyone who dares tell him that, in fact, this “Emperor has no clothes.”

As much as I appreciated Senator Cassidy doing the right thing then, he has not gone out of his way for the cause of democracy since. He has voted the Republican party line on every illicit, idiotic, and illegal scheme introduced by Trump.  Senator Cassidy is a practicing physician, and yet, to try to prove his fealty to Trump, this physician voted in favor of appointing RKK Junior as Secretary of HHS!

But even though this physician voted in favor of Kennedy and Kennedy’s absolute bull shit non-medical experience, to please Trump, that was not enough loyalty.

A few last words. Cassidy has once again demonstrated that you owe your soul to Trump, and if you commit one iota of disparaging Trump, you lose, because Trump neither forgives nor forgets. And the Republican voters in Louisiana have proudly stated out loud that morals and values are not as important as HATRED!

 

 

 

CLOSED...we've gone fishing

 House Speaker Mike Johnson has effectively stalled action on the Epstein files by adjourning the chamber early, delaying any votes until September. (BBC)

House Speaker Mike Johnson has closed the House for session multiple times, notably during the 2025 government shutdown, which lasted 54 days. This was the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, and the House was not in session for most of that period. Additionally, Johnson frequently canceled votes and sessions when internal tensions flared or legislation wasn't going his way, contributing to an unusually light legislative calendar. (AXIOS)

The Constitution requires that neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate can adjourn for more than three days without the consent of the other chamber. This rule ensures that Congress remains available to conduct legislative business. (USA Facts)

Members of the House of Representatives earn an annual salary of $174,000. Additional leadership positions, such as the Speaker of the House, earn higher salaries, with the Speaker making $223,500. (Indeed).

So, let us understand this, shall we…when MAGA Mike decides that any House business might interfere with the wishes and wants of his Lord and Master, Trump, MAGA Mike just adjourns for a few days, a few weeks, or even a few months. It ain’t the people’s business he is taking care of, but the business of taking care of Trump. Even though the House passed the Epstein Transparency Act, MAGA Mike decides to waylay that information, hoping that it will go away…And as MAGA Mike adds even more “We’ve Gone Fishing Days, Sorry We Are Closed, he and his Republican Fascist cohorts still receive a salary as if they are actually working for their Constituents.

The Trump Iran War, Mile High Gas Prices, Inflation on the rise, Pedophiles, including Trump, still face zero consequences, Affordability is unaffordable, people living paycheck to paycheck if they are lucky enough to have a job, Trump, having the Taxpayers pay for his Ballroom/Reflecting Pool/Triumphant Arch/privatizing public golf courses in DC, and the Voting Rights Act dismantled, but MAGA Mike says don’t worry be happy.

Please explain all of this, and then explain why the fuck you would vote to re-elect or even elect a single Republican come November!

And now this!

 Apparently, President Donald Trump’s “full, complete and unconditional” pardon for the roughly 1,500 rioters who violently assaulted the U.S. Capitol building and Washington police officers on Jan. 6, 2021, including those who pleaded guilty to felony charges and others who were serving prison time, did not go far enough. This week, a new class action lawsuit was filed by a group of participants in the Jan. 6 insurrection, claiming that the federal government owes them $18 million for injuries they allegedly suffered. It might be laughable if there wasn’t a real chance they could collect. (SLATE)

THE MADDNESS DOES NOT STOP, SLOW DOWN, BUT GETS STRONGER, AND STRANGER.

The Trump-inspired Insurrectionists, the Trump-motivated Domestic Terrorists, the people Trump was counting on to keep his Dictatorial position of Dear Leader intact, the Enemies of the State, are now demanding that they were the victims of the January 6^th attack on our nation, and as victims are due compensation. Yep, read that again!

Trump’s Army, Trump’s violent army of insurrectionists, has now decided that we, the people, whom they so despised and wanted to destroy, are the good guys, and the rest of us, not members of Trump’s army, are the villains.

In a real world of law and order, a respect for the Constitution and Democratic principles, this would be nothing but a big laugh, maybe a parody on SNL or an article in ‘The Onion’, but since Trump needs all of the votes he can get to keep the Republican majority in Congress, and keep himself out of jail, this lawsuit has a chance to actually become our reality. 

The crazy, bat shit, criminal actions within and by the Trump Reich keep on piling on!

 

 

Let them STARVE

 The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody.” (Donald Trump)

“When asked about the comment during a Friday night interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Trump said it was a “perfect statement.” “I’d make it again,” he continued. “You can imagine how many people stopped the soundbite at ‘I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation’ so what’s your response to that?” Baier asked, “It’s very simple, when people hear me say it, everybody agrees,” Trump said. “Short-term pain, it’s gonna be short-term pain.” (HuffPost).

Yep, I have to rehash the arrogant, selfish quote by Trump, because, for once, he has stated his true intentions, and when asked again if he might want to rethink his ignorant, nonchalant “I give no shits” commentary, he demonstrates his loathing for anyone who is not one of his billionaire puppet masters.

Trump, aloof, and (no MAGA, not a Populist Idol that you pretend he is), says “short-term pain,” because living from paycheck to paycheck, prioritizing food, healthcare, housing, utilities, and if you can afford to drive your car, are all silly inconveniences.

“Short-term pain,” meh, so what if you run out of money now, boo-hoo, you are not Patriotic enough, you are not American enough, you just don’t care enough. 

Trump does care, however, that Americans’ finances are used to soothe his insecure, narcissistic machinations, such as his Ballroom, his Triumphant Arch, his Reflecting Pool, his swimming pool, and his Golfing outings to not only Mar-a-Lago but also all of his golf properties. Oh yeah, and his billion dollars a day cost to continue a war in Iran, which he started with absolutely no idea or care about how to stop.

Maria Antoinette has been paraphrased as saying to her French citizens, “let them eat cake.” In Trump’s case, it sounds more like let them starve!

 

 

 

 

 

Keep letting them rig

 Tina Peters deserves due process, not political clemency. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has sent a dangerous signal to election deniers that with enough political pressure, accountability becomes negotiable. (MS NOW)

Being pissed off, for me, does not just stop with the Christian Nationalist/Fascists MAGA Republicans, those who believe that Democracy is useless when it doesn’t work in their favor, but when I witness injustice, or is it indifference by Democrat politicians, my ire and anger must be shouted out toward their careless, and “let’s fuck the Constitution actions.

The Democratic Governor of Colorado just provided the same middle finger used by the Republicans to the Constitution and the American public, by permitting clemency toward a very insidious and evil person, who decided that she was the one who could fuck around with democracy.

Tina Peters was found guilty “by a jury of her peers — in conservative Mesa County — on seven counts, including four felonies, of orchestrating an illegal breach of her county’s voting equipment. She let an unauthorized outsider into a secure elections room, directed staff to shut off surveillance cameras and copied hard drives from voting machines — all to try to prove conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that were never true.”  (MS NOW)

Why this should matter, I believe, is evident, but I will shout it out, as I see it. Peters tried her best to deny the people of Colorado their ability to keep their votes legitimate. Peters was found by a jury of her peers to have committed various crimes. Tina Peters gave zero shits about truth. She deserved prison time, and now wham bam thank you, Governor Polis, you too, are playing the same Tina Peters game by saying screw all that law and order, I am more powerful, and I will determine right from wrong.

The other real thing here is that so far, Trump and his Fascist Republicans are doing everything in their power to undermine the Midterm elections. From canceling the Voting Rights Act to gerrymandering districts, the Trump Reich has also been screaming that voting is somehow rigged, especially when the Republicans lose. By ignoring the crimes of Tina Peters, Governor Polis, as I see it, is sanctioning anyone who wants to truly rig the elections to do so, and not to pay any consequences for their felonious actions. Shame on you, Governor Polis, shame.

 

 

A SCHLEPPER

  

A "schlepper" is a Yiddish term that can mean a servant who carries things or a pejorative insult for someone who wanders aimlessly or acts in a slovenly manner. (Yiddish Dictionary)

Schlep: To tote, to drag, to be a burden. (Chabad. Org)

The first thing our SCHLEPPER-IN-CHIEF says upon his departure from China is that they have a ballroom! A jealous Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping’s ballroom in a suck-up post following the Beijing summit. “While flying back from China, the 79-year-old president whined that “China has a Ballroom, and so should the U.S.A”—while suggesting a deadline for his own $400 million vanity project at the White House.” (Daily Beast).

Perhaps his desire for a Ballroom is about the only honest thing Trump and his band of liars within his Reich have stated about his taxpayer-paid trip to try and get out of the Iran War, which he, and he alone, started.

Schlep, he toted his ailing, failing ass to China, praising just how wonderful an authoritarian President Xi is and has been. Schlep, he dragged his sorry ass, sloping shoulders, extra orange dyed skin, and absent look on his face as if someone every five minutes had to remind him where he was. Schlep, it was burdensome to normal Americans who once took pride in a President who did not praise dictators, fought mightily hard for a democratic Taiwan, and insisted that human rights were a priority. 

Watching Trump walk slovenly while complimenting Xi's hard-liner rule, as Trump’s cadre of Oligarchs preened and served as props for Trump…having the tax payer pay for his son Eric (the Dumber of Dumb and Dumber Trump sons and his wife Lara, scamming some business for Trump Enterprises along with Brett Ratner (the douche that directed the flop propaganda production of Melania, and who has been and still is accused of sexual harassment by six women)…and having Trump return home without any “ART OF THE DEAL”, was disgusting.

He is a SCHLEPPER, and all he and his ilk are good for is TO SCHLEP!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I want receipts!

 Trump is in China. Trump praised and praised President Xi of China for being a strong, dynamic leader of the people. Xi had not found the time to meet Trump upon Trump’s arrival, but nonetheless, Trump, who told the media that he and Xi would have the biggest and best hug when they met, trudged onward and into the night, with only a few lower brass Chinese officials and a high band to greet him.

Trump’s entourage included some of the wealthiest and least paying taxpayers of America, the Tech Oligarchs, and Billionaire CEOs, and of course, because if corruption is to be done correctly, the Dumber son of Dumb and Dumber, Eric Trump, and his licking ass wife, Lara Trump.

Not a single expert on Chinese American affairs from the past was invited, because in the case of Trump, as he has publicly stated, he doesn’t prefer to be in the company of anyone who might be smarter than he. Oh, yeah, Little Marco came along for the ride, so he could once again return home and speak to the American people out of both sides of his orange-tinted mouth.

In public, Trump bragged, not only about the greatness of Xi, overlooking Xi’s lack of freedom of speech, tyrannical treatment of those he defines as enemies, and of course Xi’s continued myriad of support of Iran, but did his usual bull shit routine about how, he Trump has known Xi longer than any other President of the US, and how much of a Bro relationship he and XI have.

The cost estimate for this trip is that, just for Trump, the starting price is $3 million for the American taxpayer. But does that take into account the costs borne by all the American Oligarchs who are using taxpayers to pay for their business trips, and, oh yeah, the cost of the American taxpayer picking up the tab for yet one more Trump Family business deal?

Hmm, aside from the end of a democratic Taiwan, and more Chinese products arriving in America, and Trump’s attempt to change the conversation from the Iran War, the Epstein Files, and the affront of affordability, and Trump Family Business, and the Oligarchs making a larger profit, will there be anything in it for those of us who are paying for this?

 

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!
