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!
