Trump Wants to Rename Department of Defense ‘Department of War’

“The Trump administration is advancing plans to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a White House official, after US President Donald Trump raised the prospect on Monday.”

The Jerusalem Post

Donald Trump is a branding expert; there are dozens of golf courses, hotels and apartment buildings throughout the world that bear his name.

The Trump name is toxic, and the fascist-in-chief is determined to restore the toxic names of military bases named after Confederate generals. Over a dozen Army bases have reverted to their long-standing toxic names under his administration.

It’s not surprising that Trump plans to rename the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense was originally established as the War Department in 1789 and was renamed in 1949 to the Department of Defense. This is all part and parcel of Trump’s agenda to turn back the clock to a time when America was more racist, intolerant and jingoistic.

Trump has declared war on the American people; naturally, he wants to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War. Trump deployed the National Guard and U.S. Marines, to Los Angeles, and the National Guard to Washington DC, and he has threatened to dispatch the National Guard to Chicago and NYC.

The wannabe dictator raised the notion of rebranding the Defense Department while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, saying it “just sounded to me better.” It would sound better to a fascist like Trump.

Is Donald Trump Dead?

When the Wicked Witch of the East died after a tornado dropped Dorothy’s house on her, the Munchkins burst out singing in jubilation:

“Ding-dong, the wicked witch is dead,

Wake up, you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed,

Wake up, the wicked witch is dead!”

When the decrepit and demented wannabe King, Donald Trump, finally dies, shouts of relief and songs of celebration will sound throughout America.

The Wicked Witch of the East instituted a reign of terror in Oz, she tortured her slaves, the Munchkins. Trump has presided over a reign of incompetence, corruption, and authoritarianism, he has demonized the LGBTQ community, terrorized immigrants, prosecuted his political enemies and ignored the concerns and needs of the poor.

Rumors have flooded social media that Trump is dead.  The spotlight-loving narcissist who holds press conferences and delivers speeches on an almost daily basis has not been seen in public for two days, naturally everyone is praying and hoping that he has croaked.

Vice President JD Vance, in trying to quash the rumors, only made it worse, insisting he is ready to take the top job in case of a “terrible tragedy.”

I am fervently praying that Trump’s cankles, bruised hands, unsteady gait, incoherent speech and morbid obesity means that the Grim Reaper has finally caught up with him.

I can’t wait to sing:

Ding-dong, the orange buffoon is dead,

Wake up, you sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed,

Wake up, Donald Trump is dead.

Trump’s Bruised Hands Give me Nightmares

Donald Trump’s sphincter-shaped mouth is grotesque, and the toxic rhetoric that emanates from it is nauseating. Trump often juts his chin forward, a gesture that creates shadows and folds in the neck area that resembles an atrophied vagina. His wispy hair looks like cotton candy drenched in urine. He looks like a rabid raccoon due to the stark contrast between his orange spray-on tan and the paler skin around his eyes.

Trump’s face looks like it was stitched together by Dr. Frankenstein, and it never fails to amaze me that his followers see the face of God in this abomination. It is not Trump’s visage but his hands that give me nightmares.

If Trump’s hands had smooth skin, and his nails were perfectly filed they would still be repulsive because they are so tiny. His doll hands are not in proportion with his ungodly girth; they give me the heebie-jeebies.

Trump’s bruised hand and his profligate use of makeup to cover the discolored patch of skin have led even his supporters to fear that he may be at death’s door. His bruised hand and his cankles are symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency.

A morbidly obese septuagenarian, with a vile temper, bruised hands and cankles is not long for this world. I hope the Grim Reaper grabs him by his hands and hurls him into hell.

Happy National Dog Day

“National Dog Day celebrates all breeds, mixed and pure and serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, either from public shelters, rescues and pure breed rescues.

National Dog Day honors family dogs and dogs that work selflessly to save lives, keep us safe and bring comfort.”

Most holidays celebrate human beings, but even the best of our kind have frailties, weaknesses, and deficiencies. As the Good Book says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” According to the Gospel of Robert, “for all humans are sinners, but dogs are sinless angels, sent to guide us in the path of righteousness.

I feel queasy celebrating holidays which commemorate genocidal monsters like Columbus, or slaveowners like George Washinton. But I delight in celebrating “National Dog Day”, how can I not feel good about celebrating such loyal, loving and beautiful innocents.

I wish I could hug every pooch in the world, but since I’m not omnipresent, I will settle for loving on my doggie, Princess. In her view, every day is equivalent to National Dog Day, as I love on her all the time.

On National Dog Day, I hope you will shower your furry friend with hugs, treats and attention. If you do not have a puppy, today is the most appropriate day to adopt one from your local animal shelter.

Happy National Dog Day to all who celebrate!

Trump Fears He Won’t Make it to Heaven

“I want to try and get to heaven, if possible. I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I am really at the bottom of the totem pole. But if I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.”

Fox News is the Trump regime state media, in the same way that Pravda is the official organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Fox News is a mouthpiece, a megaphone for Trump’s Republican Party. Fluffing Trump is a ratings winner for both Fox and Trump.

Trump has a penchant for calling Fox & Friends when something is on his mind and he wants a sympathetic ear. He called his favorite morning cable program to talk about his summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin. Apparently, he believes supporting a ruthless dictator and opposing a ceasefire could earn him favor in the afterlife.

What we can glean from Trump’s musing on his prospects of going to heaven:

The morbidly obese septuagenarian with the cankles, unsteady gait, triple chin and bruised hands is closer to death that we’ve been led to believe. Even an evil shit may wonder about the afterlife when the Grim Reaper is stalking him.

The second thing we can deduce is that Trump is not an evangelical. His top advisors and cabinet members are evangelicals. The first rule of the evangelical club is that salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ, and not by works. But Trump does not believe in God (he thinks he is God), and he does not listen to a word that his evangelical grifters say.

The most important thing we can learn is that Trump was talking nonsense. You can tell he was not serious because he said, “I’m hearing I’m not doing well.” Trump surrounds himself with sycophants, fluffers and flunkies, no one has the balls to tell him that he is not doing well.

Fuck you Trump. If you dare show up at the pearly gates, St. Peter will curse you out.

The Liberty University Sign is an Abomination

Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the James River, Lynchburg is a picturesque city, renowned for its Civil War history, beautiful scenery and small-town charm and hospitality.

When Lynchburgers think of our wonderful burg these activities come to mind: eating a greasy Texas Inn Cheesy Western, climbing the Monument Terrace stairs, watching the Hillcats play in the Bank of the James stadium, shopping in the revitalized downtown, and taking a second mortgage to watch a movie at the River Ridge cinema.

When outsiders think of Lynchburg, the only thing that comes to mind is Liberty University, the Mecca of dispensationalist evangelicalism.

The LU sign, sitting atop Candler’s Mountain can be seen from many vantage points. It’s an aesthetic nightmare, a scar on Candler’s Mountain, and it gives the false impression that LU is central to the town’s identity and daily life.

Austin Candler created a petition on Change.org, titled “Restore Candler’s Mountain to Preserve Family Heritage.” The mountain was named after his ancestor, Daniel Candler.

Candler’s petition seeks to have the “LU” logo changed to a cross, it’s his belief that the gigantic sign mars the Christian heritage embodied by his famous ancestor.

I agree that the LU monogram is an abomination but changing it to a cross wouldn’t be an improvement. How about replacing it with a “Lynchburg” sign, reminiscent of the famous Hollywood sign, that would represent Lynchburg residents, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, or political affiliation.

Masked ICE Agents Kidnap High School Student Walking His Dog

Benjamin Marcelo Guerrero-Cruz, an 18-year-old high school senior, was walking his family’s dog in Van Nuys when he was kidnapped and taken into custody by ICE. The masked Gestapo agents tied his dog to a tree and then unclipped his collar, allowing the family pet to run loose. Benjamin is being held in a cramped holding cell with about 50 others, without access to basic hygiene or adequate food.

You would expect the dateline of this news story to be Tehran, Moscow or another city in a totalitarian regime, and not a city in a country that is supposed to be a democracy. But in Trump’s fascist regime these horrific scenes have become an everyday occurrence.

Trump promised to deport cartel members, sex traffickers, and hardened criminals, but ICE quickly ran out of criminals to deport, and to meet their bloated quotas they are kidnapping and deporting landscapers, construction workers, nannies, and even school children who haven’t committed any crimes.

What was Benjamin’s terrible crime that brought him to the attention of ICE? Allegedly he overstayed his visa.

When I walk my dog, I feel comfortable and at ease and I smile at my neighbors as they greet my pooch. My daily walks provide an opportunity to bond with Princess, interact with neighbors, and engage in physical activity. As a senior citizen, I would be mortified if ICE agents arrested me and released my pet that I regard as a member of my family.

I cannot begin to imagine the trauma that Benjamin is experiencing, his life has been turned upside down, not by common criminals, but by government agents acting like thugs.

Here is the link to a GoFundMe page set up to help Benjamin and his family. Please donate to this worthy cause, thereby demonstrating that there are more of us who cherish our democracy than there are fascist monsters:

Trump’s Military Takeover of DC is a Sheer Demonstration of Power

President Donald Trump held a news conference on August 11, to announce his latest dictatorial move: federal takeover of the DC police and deploying the National Guard to fight a crime wave in the nation’s capital that is not real.

There is no crime wave in DC just like there is no alien invasion, Trump uses these fake emergencies to display his power and to energize his base.

Trump rambled incoherently, as is his wont, leaving no doubt that his brain has turned to mush. Trying to decipher his word salad rant will render you with a migraine at best and scramble your brains at worst. The stable genius bragged that he was meeting Putin in Russia, he will actually meet his fellow dictator in Alaska.

Trump was flanked by former Fox News personalities Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, and United States Attorney General Pam Bondi.

I do not envy these court jesters having to maintain a straight face and pretend that the clown-in-chief is making sense, and at the same time trying not to choke from the stench of his ripe Depends.

I refuse to pretend that there is anything normal about Trump’s fascist regime, and I will use my platform, however small and insignificant it may be, to expose the racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and corruption of Trump and his cronies.

Kenneth Copeland: It’s God’s Will for Every Christian to Have a Debt Free House

According to the Houston Chronicle prosperity gospel televangelist Kenneth Copeland is the wealthiest pastor in America, with a net worth of $750 million in 2021. The religious charlatan owns several mansions, two Lear jets and a fleet of luxury cars.

Copeland built his empire on the backs of trailer park grandmas who send him their tithes and social security checks in the hopes they will prosper by making him prosper. The only ones who prosper from the prosperity gospel are the con artist ministers, and their families.

Copeland Ministries has a YouTube video (21 House Scriptures) that teaches that it is God’s will for every believer to own a “debt free home.” According to this video, Christians can have a new debt free dwelling by supporting the ministry and manifesting their new home.

It’s the American dream to own your own home, but if you are not a millionaire televangelist you will not suddenly own a debt free home. If you work hard, save your money, make a decent down payment, you will own a debt-free house after you pay off the 30-year mortgage.

You’re not going to believe your way into a new home. You are not going to manifest a new house. And you are sure as hell will never afford a new house if you give your hard-earned money to a religious fraudster like Kenneth Copeland.

Your debt free home promised by Copeland is as real as the heavenly mansion of the old hymn, “I’ve, got a mansion.”

To Hell with Evangelicals

A 2023 Pew Research survey found 32% of nonevangelicals had negative views of evangelicals, compared with 18% of nonevangelicals who viewed evangelicals favorably.

I come from an evangelical background, and I share the disdain many nonevangelicals feel for evangelicals. Even some evangelicals have a negative view of evangelicals, which is why there are so many exvangelicals who become disillusioned with its fascist politics and fundamentalist social stances and have left that narrow-minded religious tradition.

Evangelicalism, as practiced by white Americans, is a narrow road that leads to divisiveness, discord, and damnation.

I urge evangelicals to come to their senses, leave their cult, and become exvangelicals. That doesn’t mean you have to embrace atheism; there are many mainline Protestant, Reformed s and Black Bible churches that practice real Christianity.

It is okay to hate evangelicals, just as it is okay to hate Nazis, Al Qaida, conspiracy theorists and fascists. Evangelicals incorporate many elements of Nazism, fascism, and Islamic fundamentalism. In fact, it is our patriotic duty to hate on evangelicals. I believe I have the Lord’s blessing when I say, Fuck evangelicals. Can I get an Amen?

Trump Walks on the White House Roof

When I saw the video of Trump strolling on the White House roof, I had a vision of the buffoon teetering off the edge and suffering a great fall. I imagine his evangelical supporters gathering around the orange carcass and praying that his rotund corpse would defy gravity and ascend to heaven.

Alas there are no fairy tale endings in real life, and the decrepit idiot will survive falls, diseases and STD’s and not die before his term is over.

Trump is not the first president to take a trip to the White House roof. Jimmy Carter took visitors to the roof to stargaze. Willie Nelson confessed in his autobiography that he smoked weed with Carter on the roof of the White House.

When Trump sauntered on the roof, the attention seeking moron answered questions from reporters assembled below. When Carter trekked on the roof, the only onlookers were Secret Service agents.

Carter wrote a poem about one such experience, in which he observed geese flying through the dimming sky over Washington. It begins:

I recall one winter night,

going to the White House roof

to study the Orion nebulae,

but we could barely see the stars,

their images so paled by city lights.

Can you imagine Trump writing a poem about his experience:

I remember a more beautiful day that anyone has ever seen,

going to the White House roof,

surveying my kingdom,

and looking down at the blouse of a reporter with the biggest boobs in the world.

Ben-Gvir Leads Prayers on Temple Mount

“In an unprecedented move, far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir led a group of Jewish worshippers in prayer atop the Temple Mount on Sunday as he marked the Tisha B’Av fast day — the first time that a government minister has overtly worshipped at the flashpoint site in violation of the status quo.”

Times of Israel

There is no more divisive Israeli public figure than Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, he routinely uses inflammatory and racist rhetoric against Arabs in general and Palestinians in particular.  

Ben-Gvir is an Orthodox Jew whose vehement racism and genocidal policies toward Palestinians are camouflaged by religious zealotry.

Israel and Jordan have an agreement allowing Jewish visitors on the Temple Mount but prohibiting them from praying there.  

The Temple Mount in Jerusalem known as the “Noble Sanctuary” by Arabs in the biggest flashpoint in the Middle East, prior provocations by Orthodox Jews in this sacred site have ignited intifadas.

Ostensibly, prayer is a means of communicating with the Almighty, but evangelicals in America and Orthodox Jews in Israel have weaponized prayer. Evangelicals in America publicly pray that God will punish gays and lesbians, and Orthodox Jews in Israel pray that Jehovah will rid Arabs from the Holy Land.

Ben-Gvir did not pray atop the Temple Mount for the peace of Jerusalem, on the contrary he was hoping that his defiant action would incite violence and give Israel an excuse to crush the Palestinians in East Jerusalem.

Ben-Givr is not an aberration, most of Netanyahu’s governing coalition are far-right radicals just like him. It is time for America to stop supporting this racist apartheid regime.

Trump’s Creepy Fascination with Karoline Leavitt’s Lips

President Donald Trump, 79, an adjudicated rapist, serial adulterer and alleged pedophile was asked by Newsmax host Rob Finnerty about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s, 27, performance during her daily press briefings.

Considering that his administration is embroiled in the controversy over his ties to convicted sex trafficker  Jeffrey Epstein, the septuagenarian should have tried to assuage the fears within his own camp that he’s a lecherous old fool by answering like the CEO of a corporation and not the owner pimp of a brothel.

He should have replied: she clearly conveys information, context, and policy to White House correspondents, so they understand my administration’s positions. We know that Leavitt is a hack who channels the Korean news anchor infamous for her enthusiastic and emotional praise of the Dear Leader, but a president can be forgiven for an exaggerated evaluation of his aide.

But Trump should not be forgiven for his sexist and inappropriate response:

 “It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.”

I am also fascinated by Leavitt’s lips, but not in a sexual way. Those lying lips, they indeed move like a machine gun; her rapid-fire delivery eviscerates reporters who dare question the racist and authoritarian policies of her boss.

A CEO who publicly extolled the physical attributes of a subordinate would be summarily fired. It is too bad that the Republican controlled Congress will never impeach and remove Trump from office.
