Ain't That America V

Well, what a week or so it's been in America … The Felon has launched a propaganda website …RFK Jr. once again proved himself mentally ill … The Felon admitted that tariffs will hurt Americans … Pam Bondi went full Nazi and stupid  … a Nebraska GOP asshat laid out plans to gut Medicaid while Lying Mike Johnson said there would be no cuts … DOGE is the Cybertruck of government agencies … The Felon’s first 100 days were golf and lies, and lies about golf …the GOP and planes don’t mix …Marco Rubio lived his parent’s dream of becoming an anti-immigrant fascist … the GOP clearly puts party over country, but … the Equality Act is up for a new vote … a wrongfully detained man was released .. Mark Carney and Canada .. pools show The Felon to be the worst … and impeachment charges were brought up …

The White House has launched its own Drudge Report-esque website—White House Wire—to spotlight positive news stories on The Felon.

Talk about your fake news.

Heroin addict and victim of a brain worm, Robert Kennedy Jr claims that the MMR, or Measles, vaccine contains a lot of aborted fetus debris and DNA particles.

No. Seriously.

The Felon acknowledged that toy shortages are possible as his tariff hikes ripple through the economy after the CEOs of Walmart, Target and Home Depot privately warned him about the likelihood of shortages and price spikes.

Huh. It’s almost as if he admits he’s a liar.

In the midst of The Felon’s major immigration crackdown and violent law enforcement techniques, Attorney General Barbie Pam Bondi boasted about her plans to kill American citizens:

“That’s keeping America safe. We’ve rescinded the death penalty. I’m signing death warrants.”

Bondi also claimed that “119 million lives have been saved” due to fentanyl seizures and the next day that number more than doubled to 258 million.

There are 340 million Americans so is she suggesting that anywhere from 35% to 75% of us are hooked on fentanyl or is she just another blithering lying fascist idiot.

Nebraska’s GOP Representative Don Bacon is drawing a red line on Medicaid cuts saying he won’t accept more than $500 billion in reductions to the program.

Just $500B.

On the other side, Hose Speaker Little Lying Mike Johnson, Nationalist Christian or Nat-C, says do not believe the lies the Democrat Party says about the GOP gutting Medicaid.

Even the GOP doesn’t have an effing clue as to what they’re ]doing.

DOGE promised $2 trillion in savings but now says it has saved the government just $160 billion but, in fact, the government has actually been spending more compared to this time last year as spending rose by $156 billion since The Felon took office.

Grifters, all of ‘em.

The Felon’s First 100 Days:

He promised to reduce the price of eggs and then egg prices reached record highs. He promised to bring everyday prices down but everyday prices have risen. He promised a booming economy but tanked the stock market. He promised to create jobs and then fired 100s of 1000s of government workers.

And then there was SignalGate, trade wars, Social Security benefits at risk, deported citizens, declassified the JFK files—but not the Epstein files, ended federal support for paper straws, ended production of the penny.

But the rich got their tax breaks so …

An F/-18E Super Hornet assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was lost at sea during a towing incident in the hangar bay on Monday.

The plane cost $66 million.

What is it with this regime and airplanes?

In addition to El Salvador, The Felon’s regime is seeking other countries willing to accept illegally deported people from America and Marco Rubio, whose family escaped the fascist Castro regime in Cuba only to see their son join a fascist regime, says:

“We want to send you some of the most despicable human beings to your countries … the further away the better.”

He wants these Latino immigrants sent to Libya and Rwanda.

His family must be so proud.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is open to renaming New York’s Penn Station after The Felon after his regime announced that the federal government would take over its redevelopment.

Stepping with the fascists, Kathy? Because you’ll re=name it after him and then he’ll pull funding.

That’s what grifters do.

House Republican leaders are moving to thwart Democratic efforts to probe DUI hired Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s controversial use of Signal, using their power to stop the minority party from forcing a vote that could embarrass The Felon.

Anything goes in the Party Over Country group as long as their gelatinous tub of lard doesn’t look bad.

As leaders in the House and Senate are set to reintroduce the Equality Act—historic federal legislation that would ensure comprehensive nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people everywhere—a coalition of civil rights organizations urgently calls for the legislation’s swift passage.

The bill’s reintroduction comes amidst a dangerous rise in anti-LGBTQ+ legislative and executive actions, including the erosion of nondiscrimination protections and weaponization of federal authorities against marginalized communities.

The nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute found that national support for the Equality Act topped 75 %, including a majority of Republicans and Independents.

But fascists in power … the march goes on.

A federal judge dealt a blow to The Felon’s regime and ordered the release  of Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, who was arrested at his U.S. citizenship appointment.

Now do Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

One thing to remember during The Felon’s first 100 days that he helped Mark Carney win the Canadian election.

I mean, he did that one thing right, eh?

A majority of Americans say The Felon is a “dangerous dictator” who poses a threat to democracy and believe he’s overstepped his authority by actions such as the mass firing of federal employees and the illegal deportations without due process.

Forty percent of Americans expressed favorable views.

Fifty-two percent expressed unfavorable views.

Forty percent still seems high.

Great Britain and the European Union are set to sign a formal declaration committing to “free and open trade” in defiance of The Felon’s tariff agenda.

A leaked draft seen by POLITICO promises a “new strategic partnership” between London and Brussels based on “maintaining global economic stability and our mutual commitment to free and open trade.”

The rest of the world will turn away from us thanks to the Bankruptcy King.

This week Democrat Congressman from Michigan, Shri Thanedar, introduced articles of impeachment against The Felon citing a sweeping abuse of power, flagrant violations of the Constitution, and acts of tyranny that undermine American democracy and threaten the rule of law.

Doubtful much will come of this right now, but the Cultists and Fox news are already playing the race card and wondering how someone named Shri Thanedar was elected to political office.

Ain't That America II ...

Well, what a week or so it's been in America; Pam Bondi is bought and paid for; DOGE is corrupt; the CDC has given up on the Norovirus, too; books are being banned; Black history, AKA American History, is being erased; The Felon proves again that he's an angry little racist; Leon bought the presidency and made billions for himself; The Felon denied FEMA aid to hurricane victims; Linda McMahon proved you can be an uneducated tool and still run the Department of Education ...
And then Warren Buffet has an idea, and it will take We The People to get it done ...

In 2013, Florida AG Pam Bondi announced a fraud investigation into The Felon University. A few days later, The Felon Foundation gave $25,000 to a Bondi re-election group. Bondi then announced she would not investigate The Felon University. It is illegal for tax-exempt charities to engage in political activity and The Felon paid a $2,500 fine. A Bondi advisor said Bondi had solicited the contribution. If done as a quid pro quo that would be illegal.

The Felon and his daughter-wife Ivanka Felon then donated $500 each to Bondi’s campaign. In 2014, The Felon and his daughter-wife Ivanka Felon donated $125K to the Florida GOP, which helped with Bondi’s campaign. The Felon rented out Mar-Illegal to Bondi at a $135K discount for a fundraiser where he was a “special guest.”

Bondi spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of The Felon and now she works as his personal AG.

An unsigned agreement between DOGE and the Department of Labor provides significant insight into the working protocols between DOGE and federal agencies. Notably, the agreement calls for the Department of Labor to reimburse the DOGE up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE affiliates.

The agreement is backdated to start on January 20, the day The Felon was inaugurated, and ends on July 4, 2026—a timeline consistent with the executive order that created DOGE.

Paying DOGE an estimated $1.3 million for the services of four employees over that timespan would establish an annualized pay of about $217,000 … more than $20K above the pay scale for career civil servants. Musk has repeatedly claimed that DOGE workers would not be paid.

The fraud is coming from inside DOGE.

All of the full-time employees in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vessel Sanitation Program are now off the job, gutting the agency’s ability to investigate outbreaks and conduct health inspections on cruise ships. The cuts to the program’s inspectors baffled CDC officials since the staff is not paid for by taxpayer dollars but through fees from cruise ships companies.

All this, as the U.S. has been battling a record surge of norovirus, largely driven by a new strain of the virus.

A Florida law that has pushed public schools to remove thousands of books, including literary classics, from their shelves could get even more restrictive as Republican lawmakers move to close a “loophole” they say still allows volumes depicting nudity or sexual conduct to remain on campuses.

New bills backed by GOP legislators would mean school districts could no longer consider a book’s artistic, literary, political or scientific value when deciding whether to keep it. Instead, any book that “describes sexual conduct” could face removal … books like “No David!” by David Shannon, showing cartoonish bare bottoms out of fear they depict the prohibited “sexual conduct” and classics such as Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” also have been pulled.

The asshat behind the bill, wingnut Clay Yarborough says if he took photos of some pages in the targeted books, he would “go to federal prison” for child porn.

Seriously.

An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the racist regime; also gone are references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.”

Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery.

It starts with erasing history …

A portrait of The Felon that depicts him raising his fist after that publicity stunt staged attempt on his ear is replacing an image of former President Obama in a prominent spot inside the White House.

Someone’s tiny orange mushroom dick is twisted …

PS Why would anyone hang a picture in their house of the moment after a gunman tried to kill them unless ... oh yeah, staged shooting.

Leon Skum bought the presidency for The Felon for an estimated $300M but what did he get for his money other than a room at Mar-Illegal and rides on Air Force One?

Well, SpaceX—best known for its exploding rockets—landed a $5.92 BILLION contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches—the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into space.

While Leon Skum and DOGE cut essential services to We The People he gets a taxpayer funded windfall.

After helping to elect The Felon to the presidency in 2024, and after the devastating damage from Hurricane Helene, this week The Felon denied North Carolina’s request for more FEMA relief calling it “unwarranted.”

But his golf weekends are fully taxpayer funded …

This week, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO who is now charged with making decisions for 100 million American school children, repeatedly referred to AI technology as “A1.”

Yes, the steak sauce.

“Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how that can be helpful.”

For McMahon it proved how inept and incompetent and in desperate need to be reschooled she is, but for Kraft Heinz’s A.1. steak sauce, it was free product placement and the brand jumped on Instagram with a spoofed ad for a McMahon-inspired A.1. bottle:

“For educational purposes only.”

And the post was captioned:

“You heard her. Every school should have access to A.1.”

The Felon only hires the “best” people …

Warren Buffett has a simple fix to end the deficit and it’s good:

"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Fair is fair. How does this sound?

1. No Tenure/No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress—past, present & future—participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 12/31/2025. The American people did not make this contract with Congress. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their terms, then go home and back to work.

The 26th amendment—granting the right to vote for 18-year-olds—took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple. The people demanded it. That was in 1971 before computers, email, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, 7 took a year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.”

Sounds good to me …

Bobservations

The other morning I went into the laundry room to get some clothes from the dryer and noticed one of the mats that sit beneath the litter boxes was wet. I walked out to the kitchen and said to Carlos:

“I think one of the cats peed outside the litter box.”

“That was me.”

You peed outside the litter box?”

“I don’t pee in the litter box—”

“Just poop then?”

“You’re not funny.”

Yes.I.Am.

This Tuxedo Memory is from March 2019 …

We spent Friday morning getting the taxes done and were surprised to see we were getting a rather healthy refund.

That was nice. But then, with the onset of spring, and some slightly warmer days, there were lawns to mow and hedges to trim, and a ten-foot-tall holly bush off the deck that needed to be reshaped for spring; a little help with the ladder and I was able to give Holly a haircut. Sunday was Carlos' turn in the yard and trimming bushes and replanting a tree and weeding along the fence.

Fun times. But we did manage to squeeze in some time with Tuxedo on the deck. Our cats don't go  outside because, living in a somewhat rural area, there are all kinds of things they can catch from critters that roam throughout the yard. Still, Tuxedo is allowed out, and on the table on the deck, but only with supervision, AKA me, and only when it's nice and sunny for him to warm his bones  and then take a breather in the sun.

Not a bad life, really, for us, and Tuxedo.

In Wisconsin, Democrat Shaundel Washington-Spivey made history as the first Black and first openly gay mayor of La Crosse.

This is how the Resistance works.

Think on this … if dog killer and adulterer, Kommandant Kristi Noem, was able to fly to that torture camp in El Salvador and film a photo op in front of hundreds of caged prisoners, then either she or The Felon could get on a goddamn plane right now to retrieve  Abrego Garcia, the father they sent down there by “mistake.”

I’ve seen many cakes in my lifetimes, but these cakes rank right up there in the Top Two Cakes of All-Time.

Also, think on this … over 5.3 million people turned out last Saturday for the Hands-Off protests around the country and not one capitol building was stormed, not one police officer attacked.

That’s the difference …

A guy sitting at a bar said to the guy next to him:

“I’ve got a great MAGA joke …”

“Hey man, before you tell that joke you should know that the bartender is MAGA, the bouncer is MAGA, that big guy shooting pool is MAGA, and his giant rugby buddy is MAGA. The off-duty cop is MAGA and I’m MAGA … so are you sure you wanna tell that joke?”

“Not if I’m gonna have to explain it seven times.”

Truth.

The White House is denying reports that it plans to hold a military parade in Washington on The Felon’s spawn day in June even though local officials have been in contact with the administration about a celebration.

The cost of the parade is said to be $92 million for a draft dodger but not a penny for actual veterans or service men and women who need healthcare from the VA, or housing, or food, or jobs.

This is some fecking bull shiz, y’all.

Australian Jarrod Scott is a rare combination of hot model and environmental activist—check out his Instagram to see—and if you hit it you might learn about saving the oceans, so … Would You Hit It?

Ain't That America ...

Well, what a week or so it's been in America; The Felon disrespects the troops and locks up innocent people because ... brown skin, while Leon tries to buy an election and whines about his money woes while Leon; while some GOP Senators stood against The Felon's attack on federal judges, Democrats stood with Republicans to push The Felon's agenda along.
But, million of Americans  ... including yours truly who protested at the South Carolina Statehouse, marched against the fascist regime, so all is not bad ... yet. 

This past weekend, while four U.S. soldiers—Troy Knutson-Collins, 28; Jose Duenez Jr., 25; Edvin Franco, 25; and Dante Taitano—who died in a tragic training accident in Lithuania were being honored in a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, the current draft-dodging, bone spurred, anti-military, anti-service president spent the weekend hosting a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at his Florida resort and attending a fundraising dinner.

Listen up: he doesn’t give a flying fuck about this country; he doesn’t give a fuck about the “suckers and losers,” as he calls them, who die in service to America, he only cares about his ego and his wallet and his Kids Meal and his wee orange dick.

The Felon administration “accidentally” sent Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian immigrant, to a notorious Salvadorian prison and says it can’t do anything to get him back even though the man had protected immigration status in America, specifically barring him from being sent back to that country for fear of persecution.

But he’s an immigrant so The Felon and The Flunkies don’t care.

Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered their staff not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.

The agency would have emphasized the importance of vaccinating people against the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that has spread to 19 states, but a CDC spokesperson says the agency decided against releasing the assessment “because it does not say anything that the public doesn’t already know.”

People are dying, but tariffs and tax breaks for the wealthy deserve the attention.

While Leon Skum runs around with a chain saw looking for government waste—like Fat Boy Golf Trips every weekend—five senators who visited Guantánamo Bay criticized the migrant mission there as a waste of resources.

Really? Huh? See, the Pentagon estimated the operation cost $40 million in its first month to detain 85 migrants. That’s $470,588.23 per migrant for the month, or $15,180.26 per migrant per day.

Imagine how many school children could be fed for that much money.

Oh, and there are 1,000 government employees staffing the migrant operation to watch less than a hundred people but again … brown people with accents.

Remember those $1 million checks Leon Skum offered people in Wisconsin to sway their voted to the GOP? Well, y’all know it didn’t work but at least one of the people who received a check was Nicholas Jacobs, the chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.

Scams from Nazi Leon? Go figure.

Foreign arrivals into major U.S. airports fell in March compared to the same time last year suggesting a reluctance to visit America.

The country makes over a $1 trillion a year on tourism but, hey, rich people need a tax cut.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recovering heroin addict and human vessel for brain worms … and secretary of the Health and Human Services Department says he plans to reinstate many employees and programs he began cutting last week.

Wait; you cut programs and fired workers last week but this week you want to reinstate some programs and hire some workers back?

That brain worm is really noshing on the gray matter.

Leon Skum blasted top Felon enabler and alleged trade adviser Peter Navarro overnight, calling out his education and lack of corporate credentials after the two-day rout in the stock market cost Skum nearly $18 billion just on his Tesla stock.

Boo Hoo; billionaire do-nothing Nazi lost some coins.

The Felon says he will relax limits on automobile pollution from cars saying that the move doesn’t “mean a damn bit of difference to the environment” even though decades of science show that the pollution from automobile tailpipes has harmed the environment and public health.

But hey, a fat gelatinous rapist knows best, eh?

Republican senators … you read that right … are warning that any efforts to impeach James Boasberg, the federal judge who ruled against The Felon’s deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members and is now handling a lawsuit related to the SignalGate scandal but his corrupt, inept, monumentally stupid regime would be dead on arrival in the Senate.

Senior Senate Republicans also say they will oppose any effort by Speaker Little Mike Johnson to defund federal courts that rule against the regime’s agenda, sending a message that they want to de-escalate The Felon’s war against the federal judiciary.

Now, if more GOPers would step up … perhaps America will survive this criminal enterprise.

They’re saying that millions of people ... some say 5,000,000 ... came out for the Hands-Off march in all 50 states over the weekend to protest The Felon’s attack on We The People.

The people are angry, everywhere, across all states and party lines …

The Resistance is building.
