18 VIII 2025: TACO Tutti

Well, Trump hasn’t sold out Ukraine, not yet. But it’s obviously where he’s headed. Don Putin demands this, and if Trumpie doesn’t pay up, well, maybe Trump’s already dirt-caked reputation could get even worse. There could be some sort of blackmail between Don Putin and his “friend” Trumpie. 

Or maybe Trump is in love with Putin, just like Krazy Kat, convinced that Ignatz loves her despite the fact that he keeps throwing bricks at her.

17 VIII 2025: D.C. crime surge since January

Crime in Washington, D.C. had been moderating until January when the Capital saw an unprecedented surge in crime. Areas of the greatest growth in crime include vandalism, illegal terminations, denial of civil rights, unrestrained lying and all forms of deceit, failure to obey court orders, embezzling, and virtually criminal expenditure of government funds on illegitimate trips and events.  Almost all Republicans in Congress are guilty of failing to do their sworn duty. The executive branch is guilty of acts that imperil national security,  the economy, and American civil culture.

12 VIII 2025: Why was that man masked?

I read that savages disguised as agents of ICE are arresting women and raping them. This was bound to happen. Indeed, I would like to know the criteria for employment as an ICE operative. Level of education? criminal history? etc.

In American history, the only people to wear masks were bandits or white nationalists, i.e., the Ku Klux Klan. Generally, the only government agents to wear masks have been executioners. So why are the ICE boys wearing masks? To prevent their being recognized and harassed by their neighbors as the MAGAs’ claim? or isn’t it because people who are doing detestable things usually wear masks?

11 VIII 2025: Keeping up with Hitler

President Trump hasn’t caught up with 

der Führer, but he’s giving it his best try

Hitler persecuted                 Jews

Trump persecutes                immigrants

Hitler employed a personal army:     SS

Trump employs a personal army:     ICE

Hitler persecuted                gypsies    

Trump demonizes the         homeless

Hitler persecuted anyone      unAryan 

Trump persecutes                 LGBTQ

9 VIII 2025: Trump’s ballroom

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land,

Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal, these words appear:

My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

7 VIII 2025: White supremacist trash

Some noticeably dumb Republicans in the House (Byron Donalds of FLA and Andy Ogles of TN) have been howling about Rep. Delia C. Ramirez’s assertion of pride in her Guatamalan heritage. Tom Homan, Hulk Hogan’s chosen successor, has dismissed what Ramirez said as “disgusting” — he knows all there is to know about disgusting.

Numb-skulls united in their on-going drive  to roil the base. Racist, white-supremacist, probably evangelicals, except for Homan who claims to be a Catholic. Indeed, Homan claims to have a more correct idea of what it is to be a Catholic than the Pope.

Oh, what trash gets on to the airwaves!

2 VIII 2025: The Trump of Hearts

I read about Trump’s firing the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor statistics because he didn’t like the figures the Bureau reported. He is like the Queen of Hearts in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Wikipedia describes her as follows: “She is a childish, foul-tempered monarch whom Carroll himself describes as “a blind fury”, and who is quick to give death sentences at even the slightest of offenses. One of her most famous lines is the oft-repeated “Off with his/her head!” / “Off with their heads!”

1 VIII 2025: Belshazzar Trump

When not vandalizing America’s government and heritage, Trump is vandalizing government buildings. Trump, who has the aesthetics of an urbanized red-neck, has already twice vandalized the White House and is now planning to increase the damage by re-building to accommodate a 650 person ballroom. Apparently Trump thinks he knows about ballrooms and, of course, has the taste to see to it that the decor of the proposed ballroom will be a perennial embarrassment to the United States.

Trump wants space in the White House for really big events like Belshazzar’s Feast in the Book of Daniel. King Belshazzar was throwing a really big event for 1000 of his retainers. He, his concubines, and his guests were drinking their wine from the vessels looted from the Temple in Jerusalem, living it up, until Belshazzar saw the writing upon the wall …

31 VII 2025: Trump’s appointments could be much worse

Most of Donald Trump’s appointees are incompetent and corrupt. He has usually selected people whom he knows, e.g., his one-time lawyers, golf buddies, and celebrities more notorious than they are renowned. However, the appointments made by the depraved Roman Emperor Elagabalus show us how lucky we are:  “As prefect of the guard he appointed a dancer⁠ who had been on the stage at Rome, as prefect of the watch a chariot-driver named Cordius,⁠ and as prefect of the grain-supply a barber named Claudius,⁠ and to the other posts of distinction he advanced men whose sole recommendation was the enormous size of their privates.”

22 VI 2025: Denial points the way to the truth

1) Is there any rational American who does not think that Trump might have been involved in Epstein’s underworld? Trump’s record certainly warrants this suspicion.

2) If there’s nothing there, why have they dropped everything in order to hide it?

3) I want to know what the 100 FBI agents did or did not find in their survey of the Epstein materials. Of course, we won’t ever know this. Indeed, if these 100 agents found Trump in the Epstein papers, I’m sure that Trump is not there any longer.

3) Speaker Johnson’s behavior adds to my suspicion.

4) And we have learned that the more energetically Trump denies something, the more likely it is to be true.

5) How long before Trump pulls a Jimmy Swaggert and does an “I have sinned” routine”?
