The 85th Groundhog Day this year

 Amid fresh U.S. strikes in Iran, Trump goes on the defensive following Republican pushback. The president effectively told his ostensible conservative allies, “Trust me.” Many of them effectively responded, “No.” (MS NOW)

Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and we are celebrating Groundhog Day, yet once again. There wasn’t a war with Iran till Trump decided it should be a war, a war he gloated about with the same zeal and zest as our invasion of Venezuela, but then it didn’t turn out that way. Then, after there was no clear victory or, for that matter, any decisive action on behalf of Trump's Toy Soldiers, Trump was always one step closer to the Twilight Zone, and then reality declared victory anyway. What the fuck he must have thought, whatever I say or do, should be reality because I am a gift to the American Nationalists, from Jesus Christ!

Then, with prices soaring, nations across the world rationing gasoline and energy products, farmers in the US running low on fertilizer, and rotting soybeans, Trump, with his Cosplay Secretary of War and Machismo, “Pistol” Pete, said it is no longer a war but now a Ceasefire.

But never to be outdone, and demonstrating a loser, when the once open Strait of Hormuz was blockaded, to make matters even worse, but to raise Trump’s ego, the US decided to blockade the blockade. Genius, except it made matters worse, and the war, which was no longer a war, became a war again, but this time with a new name, to maybe confuse the MAGA minions who, if given a test to locate Iran, would fail. Let alone asking them to pinpoint the Strait of Hormuz!

And now the man who intended on suing his government regarding the release of his family’s tax returns, the dude who once said the Ballroom would only cost $200 million, the douchebag who insisted that in a mere few weeks this Iran thing would be over and they would no longer have the capacity for nuclear weapons, and a more moderate US friendly regime, the guy who said rising gasoline prices are “just peanuts,” has the audacity to tell his eager enablers the Republicans, to “just trust me,”

Most of the rest of us not in the cult or fearful of being primaried scoff and smirk, as there is nothing TRUSTABLE about Trump. But Trump knows a gullible fool when he sees one, and is assuming that once again his eunuch in Congress will trust him! 

 

 

 

Trump's Memorial Day

And finally, on this Memorial Day, 2026, under the Trump Reich.

The timing is quite interesting. Trump demands that the BALLROOM be built, and that the billion-dollar expense be paid for by the taxpayers (of course, not the billionaires who donate to Trump, because in fact the taxes that they do pay are mere chump change). And wham bam oh my God ma’am, there is a breach to the security perimeters of the White House. Holy shit, how did all of that happen so quickly? (As a tidbit, as of May 2026, Donald Trump has spent 111 days golfing, which is about 22.6% of his presidency.) And like oh so many other Trump attempted assassinations, there is almost no media follow-up or Truth Social statements spewing from Trump regarding these people.

Now, we are told that the once-open and free-to-use Strait of Hormuz is about to reopen, but it will no longer be free to sail through. We are told that there will be no immediate discussion regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and that the Iranian regime, albeit with new hardliners, is still the reigning government, and that the majority of weapons that were supposedly eliminated are at 70% in stock. We are told that the ceasefire is still in place, albeit a few attacks on ships have occurred; that was then, and this is now. We haven’t been told, but it is clear to see that the current reality for Iran is that, somehow, it is in a MUCH stronger position in the Middle East than it was before Trump declared war and thought that Iran would be another pushover nation like Venezuela!

Oh yeah, and Trump plans on building a larger-than-life Arch of Triumph between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery, hoping to place it to shadow, rather than maintain the prominence of two of America’s landmarks depicting freedom, justice, democracy, and justice.

  

"To lie or not to lie?"

 Trump Tells Republicans to Defend His Slush Fund by Lying. The Department of Justice has given Republicans a list of talking points not grounded in reality. (The New Republic)

Well, it ain’t too often to read about Trump telling a truth, but as the New Republic article states, Trump is at least being honest when he tells his eunuchs within the Republican Party to lie, and keep on lying because once again, truth is dangerous.

“The document says the fund is about “seeking accountability” for millions of Americans “who were victims of lawfare and weaponization.” It falsely claims the president cannot profit from it, lets senators know they can get a piece of the action themselves (wink, wink), and even attempts to paint the fund as a bipartisan win. “Democrats can submit claims, too,” the document states happily. (The New Republic)

I understand that there have been tsunamis after tsunamis of grifting, corruption, criminal behavior, and con jobs oozing from the Trump Reich, so one more “Get Rich Quick,” bottle of snake oil could be easily overlooked, but $1,776 billion is a whole lot of bottles of that snake oil being sold, and that is something NO ONE should overlook!

We know that Trump lies, is a liar, lives to lie, and let no lie ever die. Sadly, now, we have the guy who is the acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche, assisting in spreading the pandemic of all of the Trump lies, so one must wonder who will survive the insidiousness of these lies. (As an aside, and I am not an attorney, but how can it be that Mr. Blanche retains his license to practice law when Mr. Blanche has perjured himself in front of the Senate and now is inciting the Republican Congress to do the same?)

Now, we must watch, sadly, once again, as the Republicans decide the Shakespearean dilemma, “To lie or not to lie, that is the question?”

 

 

Their Master Race?

 Hmm…

The May 24 event in Las Vegas, backed by Trump-aligned investors including Peter Thiel, the Antichrist-obsessed cofounder of Palantir and PayPal, and Donald Trump Jr., through his MAGA-branded investment firm, is being marketed as an Olympic-style competition in which participants are encouraged to use performance-enhancing drugs. It seems MAGA world won’t be satisfied unless every aspect of human life is infected with a brazen disregard for ethics, from the White House to the running track. (MS NOW)

The Romans had their Colosseum, from which the Emperor and his ilk of the wealthiest of his ass lickers witnessed the well-built athletes try to decapitate and destroy one another. Fun for the wealthy watching the mere mortals bleed. The wanna-be Emperor in Washington, DC, and his 1%-wealthier sideshow hucksters wanna have their own fun in Las Vegas. Ya gotta wonder, if these Roman DUDES were watching the Gladiators for sport, or perhaps, to please some kind of sexual gratification!

And then this:

“President Donald Trump gushed over the physique of New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart during a bizarre rant about trans athletes in Suffern, New York, on Friday. During his tangent, Trump pointed out Dart in the crowd and marveled at the 23-year-old’s body, saying, “Is there any woman in the audience who thinks they can tackle that guy?” (HuffPost)

A CNN host was audibly stunned by Donald Trump’s latest strange comments about “young, handsome men,” so much so that her exasperated one-word comment was picked up by a hot mic and then shared online. “President, thank you very much, young handsome guy,” Trump told Peña. “It’s always nice to be young and handsome.” “It doesn’t mean we have to like you. I don’t like young, handsome men. Women, I like. Men, I don’t have any interest.” (LGBTQ Nation)

Seems Trump and his MAGA buddies are very fixated on the genitals, the physiques, the sexual identities of lots of people. One must wonder OUT LOUD, why! Kind of confusing to me, just how much time and effort these MAGA billionaires, MAGA minions, and the entire Trump Reich remind me of the Nazi’s and their quest for the MASTER RACE!

 

 

 

 

And ONCE AGAIN

 There is no official set number of days that Congress must be in session each year, but the Constitution requires that neither chamber can go more than three days without formally meeting unless agreed otherwise. (USA facts.com)

The annual salary of a member of the House of Representatives is $174,000, which translates to a daily pay rate of approximately $477.78 when divided by 365 days. (closeup.org) The daily pay rate for U.S. Senators is approximately $477, based on an annual salary of $174,000. (U.S. Senate)

MAGA Mike Johnson, once again, to appease Trump, and not his Constituents or “We the People”, has decided to close down the House of Representatives, because, ONCE AGAIN, MAGA Mike Johnson did not have enough votes to permit Trump to legally continue his war in Iran! So, as has been the regular routine for MAGA Mike, who believes he only works for Trump and not “We the People,” Mr. Johnson decided to fuck over the American public in favor of pleasing the President! John Thune, the Leader in the Senate, also decided to release his flock of Trump ass lickers, because too many of his Republican majority ass lickers are finally pissed off because Trump has once again decided that keeping Republicans in power is less of a priority than keeping Trump’s power in place.

Why this matters, to me and for me, is that the people we elect who get paid to work for “We the People”, are NOT working for “We the People”, are ONCE AGAIN, not at work, and still getting paid by “We the People’s” tax dollars, pretending that they have zero obligation toward the American voters, who have provided them the chance to be employed!

And why I write about this is the fact that ONCE AGAIN, “We the People”, are being screwed! As the character, Sonny, pontificated in the movie,’ Dog Day Afternoon’, “Kiss me. When I am being fucked, I like to be kissed.”

 

Please be AFRAID, right now

 Trump Blurts Out Plot to Rig Midterms after Humiliating Fox Poll Hits.

“It’s no accident that on Thursday, Trump let out a rambling diatribe, demanding Republicans pass his onerous voter suppression legislation. Critically, Trump said straight out that if they do, Democrats will “never be elected again.” Trump admitted that the whole point of his bill is to ensure one-party rule in perpetuity, in the GOP’s favor—exactly why he wants it passed before the midterms. (The New Republic)

Be afraid, NOW, America. Be worried, NOW, America. Donald Trump is afraid and worried that he will be out of power and in prison. Trump knows just how guilty he has been and remains, and inch by inch, as his lies are beginning to unravel, this demented, immoral, criminally insane rotted man will go to extreme lengths to remain KING! 

I will repeat and repeat and repeat my warnings that Trump’s desperation only brings despair, danger, and doom for the United States. So far, there have only been teeny, tiny punctures in Trump’s attempt at total AUTOCRACY by the Republican Party. The only Republican politicians who have rediscovered their spine, or backbone, or balls, are the dumb ass fuck ass lickers who spent time up Trump’s anal opening only to find that they didn’t kiss his ass just the way he preferred. Suddenly, each and every one of them who is either retiring from office or did not win their primary is acting like BRAVEHEART, ready to do battle against the evilest person to grace American history.

I have mentioned it before, but it must be spoken about every day: gerrymandered districts, elimination of the Voting Rights Act, the initiative for the SAVE Act, acting AG, Blanche’s non-commitment that perhaps ICE could be located at polling places, these are just the opening salvos, only a part of the fire power Trump is using or plans on using to stop fair elections in November. Be afraid NOW because, as President and so far with the willing enablers within the Republican Party, all kinds of harm and mayhem lurk on the horizon!

 

 

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.
