After reading RFK Jr.'s sex poems

 I want to become a monk.  His past affair with journalist Olivia Nuzzi took a literary turn.  The Bard of Smut.  Also from the ticker a federal judge has tossed the indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and ex-NY Attorney General Letitia James.  Betcha didn't see that coming!  Pentagon wants to court-martial Sen. Mark Kelly over his taking part in that refuse illegal orders video.  Russia/Ukraine peace plan still being worked on and Trump has some kind of health care plan.

I long for the slow news days.

I'm 62 years old come next March

 Can I get a 50 year mortgage?

Well it took an act of Congress for Trump to finally fulfill one of his campaign promises namely to release the full Epstein Files.  Transparency in government.  Who's Bubba?

The Hoax is about to get interesting

 The dog that hasn't barked is calling it that.  Today House Speaker Mike Johnson finally swore in Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva AZ and tomorrow she'll be the 218th vote on a discharge petition for DOJ to release the full Jeffrey Epstein Files.  Today was a document dump of a ton of old Epstein e-mails three of which claim Trump knew of the underage girls and the trafficking.  I don't keep old e-mails around do you but anyway WH reportedly put pressure on Republican Congresswoman from Colorado Lauren Boebert to take her name off the petition.  I mean if it's a hoax who gives a 🐀's ass ya know? So that'll be the news for awhile as Trump moves more aircraft carriers into the Caribbean.  One might almost be tempted to say that's a distraction.

Good time to travel no? Hop on a flight

 What was the bone of contention again to cause the entire Government to shut down?  Health care for illegals?  Release of the Epstein Files?  A UFO cover-up?  I forget.  Trump likes to break his own records.  Longest government  shutdown in history.  Second longest also held by Trump during his first term.  Trump doesn't like the government being open apparently.  Homan and ICE still doing their work though come rain or shine.  Meanwhile Pelosi's retiring after 100 years in the Congress.

My toilet bowl started glowing last night.  Are they retesting the nuclear program in Yonkers?

Last Tango at the White House

 Maybe they can play some Nazi Waltz music.

Construction has already begun on the East Room or the facade as Trump would have it since he says he respects the existing structure.  A big ballroom.  $250 million tab to be picked up by Trump and some private donors.  Is Bob Vila involved?  Will Taylor Swift perform?  What about a cineplex where they can show such classics like The Boys From Brazil?    Will Homan do stand-up?  Maybe show a compilation like ICE Bloopers and Practical Jokes.  Will they put a basketball court on the grounds?  After Diddy and Ghislaine Maxwell are pardoned will they be honorees?  

TRUMP - The everything but the cost-of-living president. 

I thought you weren't supposed to talk about this stuff

 Trump reveals the CIA is conducting covert operations in Venezuela.  Kinda like saying you have a mole in the Mafia.  Meanwhile Trump continues to blow fishing or drug boats out of the water.  Whatever happened to boarding the vessel first and checking for flares and life preservers?  Does Hegseth have enough hair gel?

Donald Trump's America

 What would Norman Rockwell have done with this?  ICE goes viral.  Maybe these are the trainees who signed up for the 50K bonus.  At one point in the video (entire video about 4 minutes long) one ICE agent looks like he's trying to hump the poor guy.  In the middle of a busy Chicago street!  Horns honking, even a funeral procession passing through at one point.  Plenty of other ICE Follies vids on YouTube.  Compilations, best of moments.  A blend of Keystone Cops, Benny Hill and if the Little Rascals were grown up.  You can't make this shit up.  If I were new to blogging I'd probably use this as my blog title.

Homan should be hauled before Congress.  I sure hope these assholes don't come to Yonkers.   How long will it take to restore a normal fully functioning democracy again?

They passed the big bad beautiful bill then shut the government down

 Kind of makes no sense but Trump says it's no big deal.  The Epstein Files also no big deal.  An illegal migrant picking your lettuce now that's a big deal!

Why I was against the Jimmy Kimmel suspension

 There's the free speech thing of course but more than this it makes Kimmel into an undeserved martyr and he will return Tuesday night puffed up with his own self-importance.  Also his lame joke about the Charlie Kirk shooter being MAGA widely missed the mark.  If you read the kid's texts to his trans lover right after the shooting he's not all that right-wing as it turns out.  Middle-wing or even left-wing maybe but since Kimmel is way past my bedtime anyway meander down any tributary stream of discussion you like.  My bones are getting old.  In my drawer I have the Tylenol arthritis version.  What do I do now?

The Kash Patel Comedy Hour

 During his two day testimony before the Senate and House FBI Director Kash Patel claimed Jeffrey Epstein only trafficked young girls to himself.  He further said previous administrations looked into the matter and could find no credible evidence that other clients even existed.  According to news reports Patel did not read any of the reports himself or interview any of the surviving victims.  Now a word from our sponsors......

Charlie Kirk

Conspiracy theorists are already saying Netanyahu and the Mossad had right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk assassinated.  For the record I do not subscribe to this but the thought occurred Bibi is out of control at the moment and it's not entirely out of the realm.  Many people even experts are describing yesterday's events at Utah Valley University as a professional hit.  One precise shot from a rooftop at least 200 yards away and the bullet hit Kirk's jugular.  Cops recovered a high-powered bolt-action rifle from the scene.  The FBI describe the shooter as college age and are said to have recovered palm and forearm prints.  Image released of person of interest.  Broad condemnation of the act from both the Left and the Right.  I'll save further thoughts for the Comments section.

So when does Trump take over Yonkers?

Scanning my daily Trump feed and there's always something that jumps out.  Today it's Trump threatens to take over the city of Chicago.  The possible scenarios I can come up with to justify the feds taking over any police force are scant indeed.  Say 90% of that police force is racist or else extremely incompetent or corrupt.  With Trump policy however one of the cardinal guiding principles is to take the most drastic action first.  To fight crime why don't Trump and Vance just put on superhero capes and come to a town near you?  If this is conservatism then I have tits;)

Right-wing influencers love Trump more than the base does

The base is adrift over Epstein, Iran and the genocide in Gaza.  MTG has threatened to leave the party.  Meanwhile on my YouTube feed the right-wing influencers like Megyn Kelly are more in love with Trump than ever.  In the meantime Trump is going to meet with his BFF Putin in Alaska.  Trump feels Zelensky should cede Crimea to Russia.  This would be like if we gave a part of Poland to Hitler.  Trump's second term is so strange he wants to treat the country to a third term.

You have now entered the political Twilight Zone

 The weird Trump cult continues.  No special requirements.  No need to graduate from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.  Homan will train you.  Just a willingness for a patriotic 14-year old boy to beat up his neighbor.

You Can't Make This Shit Up.  An ongoing series. 

Why the Epstein Files matter

 OK so Trump's name is on the List.  According to the WSJ Bondi told him this some time ago.  A fairly common reaction I'm seeing though is why does it matter?  I'm seeing this at some conservative blogs I peruse from time to time like the Left is using this against Trump and that's all it is but the Democratic chef at work yesterday who hates Trump with a passion also said he's tired of hearing about Epstein and everyone knows he cheated so what does it matter?  There's some serious conflation going on here.  People are putting this on the same level as if Trump made numerous visits to the Playboy Mansion and played polo ponies with Hef and made business deals in the grotto.  Epstein/Maxwell involved sex trafficking of underage girls on a mass scale which by definition involves lack of consent.  It's like I remember some comedian I forget the name and he made fun of what he called Japanese creepy porn and said they look like they're not enjoying themselves.  So with Epstein we were not dealing with high-priced consenting escorts but very young girls probably under duress.

Tired of the Epstein Files?  You risk looking like a perv.  It matters.  The Left had nothing to do with it.  The deification of Trump is weird and cultlike.  We like to deal with facts here.

Trump promises to flood the zone in NYC with ICE

 Just what we need more drama and social unrest courtesy of Hardass Homan and it's gonna get hot too.  It's amazing that they got rid of all the criminal aliens already.  The worst of the worst all gone.  Geeez that was quick!  Now they can focus on the regular aliens.  Mexicans with string trimmers, taco stands, fence installers, gardeners and landscapers, hotel and restaurant workers, construction sites.  Who knows where they'll be sent to.  Some Aleutian island?  BTW what's a Cuban person gonna do in Africa?  Wondering who does the Homan Estate?

Chronic moral insufficiency

 Homan bankrupting small farmers in CA through the ongoing ICE raids.  The majority of the field workforce gone in many cases.  The migrant farm workers have either been arrested or are afraid to report to work.  Skilled laborers.  Fruit rotting on the vines.  You I'll be paying more for produce in the near future.  Agriculture Sec'y promises automation and putting Medicaid workers to work in the fields or something like that it's confusing.  As ICE is obviously afraid to go after the criminal aliens we might soon be left with some sort of imbalance.  After Homan's work is finally done they might be the only ones left after all the hard-working law-abiding ones have been deported.  Hannity and Charlie Kirk will be able to afford a bag of cherries.  You won't. 

Welcome to Trump's dystopia.

Trump wants DOJ to reveal what Epstein had for breakfast

 Always skirting the issue.  He has asked Pam Bondi to release the grand jury transcripts in the Jeffrey Epstein case even though nobody asked for that.  The Guardian reports that Trump and Epstein were BFFs for 15 years and the WSJ says Trump once sent him a racy card for his birthday.  Other than that they were barely acquaintances.  Trump wants to sue the WSJ btw.  What else is new.

Don't cry for me Maurene Comey.  Daughter of former FBI head James Comey the DOJ has fired her as a federal prosecutor.  She did a half-assed job in the Diddy case.  Not gonna lose sleep.

Trump wants to re-open the legendary Alcatraz to the tune of $2 billion.  Where is the money gonna come from out of his ass?

The surreal Trump Administration continues......

Can Homan and Hannity be deported to Iceland?

 Homan is a scary dude.  Imagine going home and finding him in your closet.  The next Halloween mask?  So according to the Washington Post there's an internal ICE memo circulating to send some illegals to countries where they're not even citizens.  But doesn't this increase illegal immigration in those countries because they're not even citizens there?  So the cycle perpetuates itself.  Stupid me and my dictionary definitions I thought to deport someone meant to send them back to their home country from which they came.  The Homan game plan only complicates matters immeasurably.  Are atolls in the Pacific included?  Makes no sense.  I don't even think ICE goes after real criminals because they're afraid.  Leave that to real law enforcement.  Oh Trump and Noem will say they do but I think they're more comfortable harassing random undocumented people on farms and in the street.  Basically a rogue agency that Dr. Phil is in love with.  Bunch of amateurs who look like they were just hired walking around in neck gaiters in 95 degree weather surrounding and bothering people.

Any ideas where we can send Charlie Kirk?

The media is weirdly uninterested in Jeffrey Epstein

 I get news updates on my devices of course and being a busy man I often just scan them.  A quick perusal however seems to show much of the MSM taking the position of the Trump Administration on the matter of the Jeffrey Epstein Files.  MAGA is in a major rift as you probably heard as what was promised was not delivered exactly.  The media is treating it all as just another fevered conspiracy theory from the Far Right but I would frame it somewhat differently.  Going forward are the customers or clients of a major sex trafficking ring now routinely to be let off the hook?  WHY?  Legit legal question.  Can't be that hard for the federal government to figure out who was in that customer base or at least some of the players.  Diddy too was recently brought to trial on running a sex trafficking ring as well.  He was pretty much acquitted on that but as a theoretical question why was no one else brought to trial just him?  Only the figureheads or alleged figureheads.  It's not the least bit conspiracy-minded to ask such questions.  The media like CNN is framing this as only MAGA cares.  It's time to stop controlling the narrative at the behest of the Trump Administration and just ask simple basic and logical questions.  That's all for today folks.
