Isn't a bit MACABRE!

 Top Republicans say they spoke with Mitch McConnell while still in the hospital. (MSN) but… Sen. Lindsey Graham dies at 71 after ‘brief and sudden illness’ (MS NOW)

The Republicans in Congress have, if not a macabre definition of death, or like their view on which life is worth their Pro-Life, they just prefer to pick and choose who is alive and who is dead. Of course, the decision regarding Life and Death always depends on pleasing either Trump or the audience of FOX!

It was easy to declare Lindsey Graham dead, because not only did Lindsey actually die, but he died while a Senator in a state governed by a MAGA Governor, meaning that it will be easy peasy to immediately replace the now deceased Senator. However Mitch McConnell maybe a live or maybe dead, but as far as the Republicans are concerned it is much more beneficial to keep the guy alive, because he lives in a state governed by a Democrat, and even though the Republican State House changed the Constitution to keep him from replacing a deceased Senator, it seems that the odds are a non-MAGA or a non Trumpster might become Senator.

Not hard to follow, is it! If you are in Congress in a red state, with no one but other MAGA Republicans in line to replace you, then the GOP can declare you died. If you are in a red state with a bunch of other people who aren’t MAGA enough for you wanting to replace you, then, according to Republican law, you are really not dead, at least until the next election in November.

The self-described political party identifying as a Pro-Life Party, which is also quite picky on whose life it is that matters…(not an immigrant, not kids needing nutrition or three meals a day, not a female whose pregnancy is life-threatening, and not those who cannot afford health care) but the fetus or zygote in the womb. This same political party is also quite picky about who is dead and whose death is too inconvenient for the party’s own survival!

 

 

'Our House'

 “Our house is a very, very, very fine house. With two cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard. Now everything is easy 'cause of you.” (‘Our House’/Graham Nash)

The White House is often referred to as "The People's House" because it symbolizes the residence and workplace of the President of the United States, representing the American people and their government. This term emphasizes the idea that the White House belongs to the citizens of the nation, not just the president. (White House Historical Association),

Nope, Nah, Not On Your Life. Maybe in a land far, far away, a long, long time ago, once upon a kind of civil-minded government governed by a moral and sane President, the White House, which in reality is owned by the taxpayers of this nation, was the People’s House, but the current squatter living there, rent-free, believes the house belongs to him. 

President Donald Trump shared a photo Wednesday of what he described as the “newly revamped” West Wing of the White House — and it’s as tacky as you might expect. Maple trees and plantings were also added outside the West Wing, per the president. (HUFFPOST).

The White House is becoming the Trump Palace, or even worse, Mar-Lago North. With no regard for the cost of renovation, or rather, the destruction of this once American symbol of democracy, is more symbolic of an empty malignant narcissist, whose only priority in life seems to pretend that the more gold-plated shit you attach to your house equates to being the Alpha Dog! 

There remains a billion-dollar-a-day war going on with Iran, hundreds of billions of dollars are being requested to rebuild the military assets lost in that war, and right now there seems to be an unanswered question regarding whether we, the people, will pay the staggering sum of $600 million for a Ballroom for the billionaire class.

Amidst all of this, this ego-centric flipping of the White House, Trump, (MAGA, Trump, who has given zero shits about you and your everyday cost of living-no, not just the Dumb-Ocrats), has no need to sign to help the rest of us with our housing.

Trump pointedly refused to affix his name to a major housing bill that both houses of Congress recently passed with huge veto-proof margins. The bill became law Saturday without his signature. (MS NOW).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IN SUMMATION

 IN SUMMATION:

It is Friday, July 10, 2026, perhaps just another day in a very dystopian nation I find myself living in, maybe just another day in a very surreal life I find myself living in, or a new version of a much more haunted and insidious Twilight Zone?

Graham Platner is ousted for being a sexual predator, in the same time frame that Trump finally must pay for his sexual predatory actions, yet the Republicans seem nonchalant and uninterested in pointing their fingers at Trump. The ever-abundant adulterer from Texas, Ken Paxton, is off on a fling in France with a married Christian influencer, and nada, nil, zilch, zero disgust has been shared by the Pro-Life MAGA minions.

Mitch is either dead, brain dead, or a real conversationalist, because way too many republicans and their enablers have sworn up and down the media highway that he is fine and dandy and discussing all kinds of politics. His wife (talk about family values) took off to China right after Mitch was 911-ed to the emergency room, and she seems to give more shits about talking to the Vice President of China than spending even an iota of a minute with her husband.

Is anyone truly surprised that the Republicans are replaying a version of the movie “Weekend at Bernie’s,” regarding Mitch, since they have pretended that Trump’s health is A Plus and perfect?

The Trump Iran War, which wasn’t a war until Trump declared we won that war, became a ceasefire, which meant, in Trumpian language, we won that non-war, war once again, and now there is no ceasefire, but still a war, and still costing the taxpayers about a billion dollars a day.

And then we have the Qatari Air Force One, which is almost Air Force One except it doesn’t come with all of the extra security trappings that the original Air Force One had, so after spending a billion dollars on refurbishing Trump’s personal aircraft, we have two Air Force Ones and are once again, as taxpayers, paying the bill for Trump’s bullshit.

In summation, the rabbit hole in which we find ourselves swirling round and round and downward and downward, is opening up into some as deep as the Mariana Trench, which is the deepest oceanic trench on Earth,

 

"weaponizing a car"

 Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday. Multiple witnesses have disputed DHS’ assertion that he “weaponized his vehicle” against an ICE officer. (MS NOW)

How to get away with murder, Trump Reich-style.

The Trump Reich In-Justice Department has a new “get out of jail free” card it uses for its private Militia. For these masked murderers and kidnappers, doing the biding of such heinous creatures as Lieutenant Reichstag Miller and his lacky loser “ya wanna take it outside,” Markwayne Mullin, all you have to say when you commit murder in the first degree is the phrase, “but they weaponized their car!”

It’s an easy phrase to get away with murder, and it will buy you the ICE Nazi from paying any consequences for losing your temper! Or maybe you’re just afraid you’re losing your machismo, or maybe you feel you are low on testosterone, and if you already beat up your wife or girlfriend and still need some kind of MACHO MAN release, just cower behind your mask and taser, and bulletproof vest and say, “but they were weaponizing their car.

And since you are backed by Republicans who seem to prefer Fascism versus Anti Fascism, you really have little to worry about as you gladly commit first-degree murder. Why, you might ask, because the Republicans who swear to their Christian Nationalist American Jesus that they are pro-life don’t give a shit about that life once it is outside a woman’s womb. 

Lots of murder when you are a Trump Reich Hitman, and zero consequences, and apparently you joined this Nazi Klan because you certainly have no conscience!

 

AND...yet

 “For weeks, Donald Trump’s fury has been growing at Republicans for failing to pass voter suppression legislation, demanding that they end the filibuster to do so. In a late-night tirade, he urged them to attach the SAVE Act to a must-pass defense spending bill, a dramatic move that reveals his deep frustration with them.” (The New Republic).

Trump is brain-dead regarding most priorities for America and Americans, but his total fear of finally facing the criminal consequences for his insidious and heinous crimes still firmly resonates in his diminishing and more demented mind. He knows he is a fraud, a felon, a very pathetic pedophile, a Putin puppet, and even if he calls it “the Islamic Republic of Japan, sits directly across from President Zelinsky identifying him as President Putin, and refers to TikTok as Tic Tac, the one item which is very clear traveling from his gut to his brain is his immense fear of going to prison. So he will do anything and everything within his crooked power to eliminate that future opportunity.

And then we have the Republican Party, the guys and gals who, 99% of them, have permitted Trump to ignore the rules and regulations provided in the US Constitution, to absolve the “checks and balances” established in the Constitution, and to rewrite any history in favor of his racist and bigoted priorities. So when I read about the following statement: They (The Republicans) also blame Trump for letting this obsession take his focus off costs. One GOP Senator even tells NBC: “He’s a bully, and he’s f------ things up as fast as he can.” (The New Republic) …I want to SCREAM!

The Republicans sold their souls (whatever that really amounts to) to Trump, hoping to keep them in power. They knew Trump was a criminal, and they decided that their jobs were more important than the job of governing for the citizens. And now, just like the MAGA voters who voted for Trump because they were certain Trump’s actions would only hurt “THE OTHER”, and never them directly, the Republicans suddenly have taken their heads out of Trump’s ass to realize that the bad guy they permitted to be bad is bad for them. And yet, AND YET, these guys and gals of the Republican Party remain obedient, obliging, keeping Trump in office, thus in power.

When you know there is poison in your food, and you still decide to indulge in that meal, the only question to ask is, “How fucked up are you?’

 

 

Is it is, or is it ain't?

 Is he is, or is he ain’t? Amazing how, once you become a Senator or a Representative on the federal level, a public servant, whose salary is paid for by the taxpayer, whose job actually is your job because of the American citizen, you suddenly seem to think somehow you are no longer beholden to those of us who voted you into office, and those of us who pay your working wage! Is he is, or is he ain’t alive?

It has been more than three weeks since Sen. Mitch McConnell was hospitalized, and since then, the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican has not been seen or heard from publicly. (MS NOW)

Trump Refers To 'Islamic Republic Of Japan,' Calls Zelenskyy 'President Putin.' The 80-year-old president blundered his way through a briefing with journalists at the NATO summit. (HUFFPOST)

Is he is, or is he ain’t? In broad daylight, not hidden behind his Truth Social Posts, or reading a speech from a teleprompter, or constantly trying to recite some bit of propaganda from a handwritten piece of paper provided to him by his staff, but sitting there in his usual slouched position, top heavy leaning forward, the President of the United States, sadly the guy who supposedly represents one of the most powerful countries in the world, demonstrated, once again, how senility, dementia, and very old age have ravaged his brain and cognitive abilities. Is he is, or is he ain’t incapable of retaining his job as President?

Is it is, or is it ain’t? There once was no Trump war on Iran; the Strait of Hormuz was open and free. Then there was a war, but it was called Epic Fury, so it was not a war, But when the Defense Department forgot that it wasn’t a war, it was referred to as a war. The Strait was closed, but then we were told it really wasn’t closed. Then, when it wasn’t closed, we closed it to show the Iranians that if the Strait was closed, the only ones who had the real power to close it were the US. Then there was a ceasefire, for a war that was not a war, and now that ceasefire may or may not be over. Is there is, or is there ain’t anyone who can please tell the world what the fuck is really happening regarding the Trump-Iran War?

President Donald Trump threatened Wednesday to unleash more military strikes against Iran after saying that Iranian attacks signaled the end of the ceasefire. "Anything that happens is going to happen very fast," Trump said, though he also suggested the U.S. military might "just finish the job." (yahoo.com)

 

 

Act up NOW

 A Texas-based white supremacist group staged what appeared to be its largest public demonstration to date over the Fourth of July weekend, marching through Washington, D.C., in a brief, coordinated display before dispersing before noon Saturday. (Austin-American Statesman)

As these face-masked white supremacists marched in DC, with absolutely no commentary regarding their actions, Trump did take the time, however, to say: President Donald Trump has been warning recently that communism will pose a threat to the U.S. if Democrats win in the upcoming midterm elections. (Yahoo News).

The Trump Reich, via their masked agents in ICE, arrests people without due cause, kidnaps them off the streets, and places them in jails without the right of habeas corpus, has sent police to arrest those who dare touch the reflecting pool, hiring wealthy donors to work on no-bid federal projects, and has a penchant for financial corruption…the Trump Reich favoring dictators from the most vile regimes across the world…the Trump Reich which has tried and tried to revoke as many Americans rights to one person one vote…this Trump Reich favoring Segregation, trying to dynamite the wall between the church (not any church but the Christian Nationalist American Church) and state, is using their guaranteed guise of “look over there, while we rob you blind,” in an effort to win over the dumb, the disturbed, and the dangerous, are poster boys and girls for the most Authoritarian styled government leading to all of the ugly aspects of a government trying their best to be Fascist.

Confederate flags were paraded during the 4^th of July, and not a single Trump Klan member criticized that. The men marching in DC, with their masks covering their faces, (nothing says being proud of your actions by covering your faces, you know, like the Ku Klux Klan and ICE, were never called out for their actions, but rather the only commentary was by the State Regime Network, known as FOX and way too many GOP Senators, calling them ANTIFA.

I remain afraid. I remain alert. I remain attuned. Way too many plans for the disruption of the November Midterms, by the Trump Reich, are being shown and demonstrated, and instead of reacting, we the people should be acting up, NOW!
