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......

Trump wants to ban drug advertising on TV

I see it as a free speech issue but Trump being Trump wants to protect us.  I see a little Bobby influence here.  RFK Jr. the nation's doctor.  Actually these Big Pharma produced TV ads are so well made you want the drug even if you don't have the ailment.  Guy or gal climbing a mountain at sunrise or kayaking.  Rare side effects may include swallowing your tongue or sticking your head in the oven.  I don't think Trump will ever get to the cost-of-living in his second term.  Too much on his plate.  Maybe he's saving it for his third term.

And Happy Tremfya to you.

Back to business as usual

The shitshow must go on.

D.C. police apparently not obeying their ICE overlords so Trump may declare another emergency.   Rubio and Bibi meet in Israel to discuss possible annexation of the West Bank.  Bibi bombing high-rises in Gaza City for no apparent reason.  If the Supremes don't approve of Trump's tariff policy he may have to pay the money back.  Good times.

I haven't checked my updates but is Rosie O'Donnell still a threat to Humanity?

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.

If Hamas leaders are vacationing in Paris

Does Bibi then bomb Paris?  What are the Rules of War anymore?  Trump gave a muted response to the latest saying he wasn't thrilled by Tuesay's attack by Israel targeting senior Hamas leaders in the Qatari capital of Doha.  Trump wants to keep his jet but also Bibi as a BFF.  Reading Zionist reaction online to the strike saying Netanyahu has balls of steel and now has a real achievement under his belt.  Meanwhile there's been a little Polish action in the Russia/Ukraine War first time a NATO member got involved in the conflict.  Poland said it shot down Russian drones that invaded its airspace.  Mad players on the world scene.  Putin Bibi and Trump.  What could go wrong?

I suppose I have to talk about it

 I had wanted things to become less contentious around here but it's inescapable.  RFK Jr. being grilled by the Senate.  From the clips I watched seemed mainly about covid and the covid vaccines.  They really built a religion around these covid vaccines so many people were predicting there would be an orchestrated coordinated attack against RFK Jr. by the elites right about now.  In fact there's a leaked memo from Bio about this.  The rest of us have moved on however but some people are still taking the shots.  I'm not sure when full immunity is supposed to kick in maybe after the 17th booster?  I'm thinking there would be at least a public clamoring for a better product on the market by now.  This is not about the public health it's about the $$$$$$.  I didn't want to go down this road again.  Not a fanboy of RFK Jr. but a large swath of the public has lost faith in ThE SciEnCe.  You know it's really weird the Left used to criticize Big Pharma.  Guess times have changed:)

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;)

Judges don't set trade policy

 Federal Appeals Court says many of Trump's tariffs are illegal.  Seems to me trade policy is of no concern to the Judiciary.  I don't personally agree with most of Trump's tariffs but seems to me he has the right to do it.  That power is rightfully and solely invested in the Executive Branch.  The President should have the right to do some things.  Seems to me.  What does it seem to you?

The Trump Follies

Some might say every day but I would say maybe every three days or so I see a strange Trump headline.  It's totally random and without reason.  One day he might outlaw Smokey the Bear.  He might rename a bridge after Melania or build an ICE center in the Grand Canyon.  It could be whatever.  He might wake up one morning and decide the American Triangle is a more fitting name than the Bermuda Triangle.  I've taken some editorial license here but Junior ICE agents might be a real thing.  So now the latest blurb I've seen is the FBI raids the Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton who served under Trump the first time.  Many times now I just read the headline and don't delve much into the story.  I had thought now that we're into Trump's second and hopefully final term the weirdness would peter out after awhile and we could return to normal governing but no.  The current surreal landscape of American politics.  Like Dali applied to Trump.  It's an art form.

Does Trump have plans for a Greater Israel?

 Bibi has a dream, a vision for a Greater Israel.  Not a fan of the 2 State solution.  In it he gets all of Gaza of course, Lebanon, parts of Syria and Saudi Arabia, the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt, Iraq, part of Yonkers?  He sees this as a Biblical mandate, a spiritual mission.  Pure Zionism.  Bibi's Greater Israel Project.  What's in it for Trump?

Gain of Fauci

 So what's new on the health front?  YouTube is the McDonaldizing of information so I tend to go there.  Bite-size med news.  Casual hobby of mine poking around health topics.  Did not know gum disease can cause severe headaches.  Teeth can be at the root of a lot of stuff.  The human body is complicated.  The lymphatic system is your sewer system and it can get clogged from time to time.  In my YouTube feed.  After 60 everything goes downhill.  Ass leakage, fungal toes.  Sore hip.  Hair growing out of your ears.  Scattered sleep.  You laugh you pull a muscle.  Brain fog.  Nowadays when you see the doctor you're supposed to tell him what drug you want him to put you on.  Saw an old guy once in the library walking down the stairs backwards.  My late Dad did that.  Supposed to ease the pain or something.   Things to look forward to.

I still have my goblet of Christian Brothers in the evening and two good cups of strong coffee in the morning.   No rest for the weary.  Keep going.  Learn some things.  Posting about Trump everyday hurts the brain.

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. 

The ICE Age

 When compassion, empathy and logic became extinct.  Pondering weird and strange careers or at least those jobs that don't make you feel good about yourself at the end of the day.  Putting animals to sleep in a shelter.  Working in a slaughterhouse.  Abortionist.  Corpse cosmetologist - fairly benign but off the beaten path.  Pornos - said to the Jamaican chef one day do people actually have sex that way and he shook his head no and we both laughed.  So the ICE career I hear they're recruiting.  So say busting into some Latino home and taking away the Grandma and making all the kids cry or shutting down a taco stand and then going home to dinner, playing Xbox or kicking back and watching the game do you get that sense of accomplishment like you helped humanity that day and made the world a better place?  Takes a certain type.

Had to post something today to keep up with the faster-paced blogs.  You know AOC said something and we have to discuss it or Schumer farted on the Senate floor.  Trump's whole second term is just chase down the immigrants.  Could be a video game.  Homan has a good day and goes home and bangs his wife;)

Not getting the Stephen Colbert brouhaha

 So the guy's Late Show was canceled.  Lost millions of dollars for CBS.  Was never into him.  Didn't find him funny.  Past my bedtime.  Leno wondering why late-night comedians turn so partisan and lose half their audience.  The one thing I remember about Colbert is he had on some cringeworthy covidian vax dancers sketch once.   The demise of Colbert.  There are more important things to protest.

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.

CDC says American fertility rate at all-time low

 In keeping with the philosophy of natalism Trump is managing this issue by deporting as many people as possible and specifically targeting the group who tend to have the most kids the Spanish.  Do the math.

I don't wanna hear anything more from this Administration about having more kids.

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?

Trump's retro channel

 The classics.  Everything but the cost-of-living.  Tulsi Gabbard investigating Obama over RussiaGate.  The claim:  Obama manufactured intel to show Russia interfered in the 2016 election.  That's the one Hillary lost.  Alleged Russian collusion.  Putin wanted Trump to win etc. etc.  We all know the story.  What's that brown stuff on Tulsi's nose btw?  Trump wants Obama arrested but will he deport Rosie O'Donnell first?  Stay tuned.....

At this stage of the game if you still have Trump bumper stickers on your vehicle you're a cultist

 I know at least two people like this.  One at my workplace and the other one a neighbor.  After only a few months into Trump's second term any reasonable person left right or middle would have concerns.  I get the denialism up to a point but something has to give.  Trump sending illegals to places other than their home countries how is this even legal?  Trump now suing the WSJ over its factual reporting on his long-standing friendship with Jeffrey Epstein he's trying to chill a free press and the list goes on.  I'm not big on political bumper stickers but sometimes there comes a time you have to scrape them off.  The Trump cult scene at this point it kind of has the feel of the acid scene in the cemetery in Easy Rider.  I just long for the days when we can get a mature adult of whatever political persuasion in the WH again.  You ever notice Rubio's face?  Every once in a while you get that WTF's going on look.
