Trump Spotted with Bulge in Crotch Area, What’s Up?

Donald Trump, a morbidly obese octogenarian who eschews exercise and subsists on Diet Cokes and Big Macs, was declared to be in “excellent health” after his annual physical examination in April 2025.

The quack who proclaimed that Trump is in excellent health must be a proctologist whose head is so far up his patient’s ass that he cannot see his glaring cognitive decline and deteriorating physical condition.

Recent images of Trump prove that he is in even worse physical shape than we imagined. A photograph taken just a week ago at a UFC fight depicts the president with a noticeable bulge in the crotch area of his pants. Stormy Daniels who has seen his pecker up and close (the only way you can see it is up and close) will tell you that his shriveled mushroom shaped prick will not cause even the slightest bulge. A more likely explanation is that the incontinent bastard was wearing a Foley catheter, a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine that is collected into a bag.

Other photographs have led to speculation that the decrepit fool is wearing a hidden leg brace. Trump has a fat head, a huge stomach and an even bigger ass, and spindly legs. Of course, he is wearing a leg brace, which is the only way his skinny legs can support his humongous body. No wonder he recently stumbled on the steps of Air Force One.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again. Am I the only one hoping Trump will have a great fall from the top of the stairs of Air Force One?

Despite Rep. Mary Miller Declaring June ‘Family Month’ June Will Always Be Recognized as ‘Pride Month’

We must be wary of any Republican politician who gains the fulsome endorsement of Donald Trump. The racist-in-chief endorsed Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) a “champion of our America First Agenda” in her most recent re-election bid.

Although Miller has not gained the notoriety of such MAGA stalwarts as Laurent Boebert or Marjorie Taylor Green, she’s just as loathsome and despicable. Miller who has a penchant for quoting Hitler favorably, recently protested that “a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives.” Actually, the person who led prayer was a Sikh and not a Muslim, but she she’s not interested in showing any respect or even acknowledging any cleric who isn’t an evangelical Christian.

On Tuesday she introduced a resolution declaring June “Family Month” in a rebuke of Pride. “By recognizing June as Family Month, we reject the lie of ‘Pride’ and instead honor God’s timeless and perfect design,” she told the Daily Wire.

Despite the protests from homophobes like Miller, June is recognized as Pride Month worldwide, with many countries celebrating LGBTQ culture and achievement throughout the month.

Many biblical heroes had multiple wives, for example King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. The Bible does not explicitly forbid polygamy; would Miller consider King Solomon as her poster boy for “Family Month”?

June will always and forever be recognized as Pride Month, but gays and lesbians are not averse to celebrating families. The true meaning of family extends beyond blood and legal ties, encompassing individuals who love and support each other unconditionally. Family has many iterations: nuclear families, single-parent families, extended families, and blended families. We should celebrate families whether its two moms and children, two dads and children, or two individuals and no children.

Happy Pride Month to the diverse families that make America such a wonderful country.

Democracy’s Epic Failure: we Elected Trump, a Steaming Pile of Human excrement

Twice impeached, adjudicated rapist and convicted felon Donald J. Trump is the most unqualified, incompetent and corrupt president in American history.

The grifter-in-chief made no attempt to lend legitimacy to his regime and to distract the public from his sheer ineptitude by hiring competent, qualified and experienced professionals to serve in his Cabinet.

Instead, the sociopath went out of his way to hire morally reprehensible and clueless fools to staff the most important positions in his administration.

They were selected for their ability to flatter Trump and stroke his ego. Forgive me, I shouldn’t use polite language to soften the depravity. They were hired as fluffers to stroke his puny presidential pecker.

The always televised Trump Cabinet meetings are humiliation rituals where his subordinates (many of them former critics) showcase their fealty and devotion.

Trump calls on his deputies one by one, they effusively praise him, and they try to outdo each other in their flattery of their orange messiah. The circle jerk and orgy of obsequiousness is enough to make North Korea’s Dear Leader blush.

A foreigner unfamiliar with American politics, who witnessed a cabinet meeting, would think that the American people elected a gifted, wise and benevolent leader.

If only they knew that our democracy failed, and we elected a steaming pile of human excrement.

Evangelicals Outraged Cynthia Erivo Cast to Play Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar

Evangelicals are outraged that Cynthia Erivo who is obviously female, queer and black has been cast to play the titular role in an upcoming three-night production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

Erivo is eminently qualified to play the part of Jesus; she previously portrayed Superstar’s Mary Magdalen in the all-female 2020 concept album Jesus Christ Superstar: She is Risen. The renowned Broadway star won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical in the Color Purple.

Erivo dismissed her critics saying “Why not?  Hopefully they will come to realize, Oh, it’s a musical, the gayest place on Earth.” She makes a solid point, there is a significant presence of LGBT individuals, especially gay men, in the Broadway community. Broadway is a welcoming space for the queer community, and evangelicals should check their homophobia at the door whenever they attend a musical.

Some two thousand years ago Jesus Christ was born a brown-skinned Jew, a despised religious and ethnic minority, in the Roman empire. If Jesus came today, who’s to say he wouldn’t be born as a black, queer woman?

The production, which will run from August 1 through August 3, will also feature Andrew Lambert in the role of traitor Judas. The gay-hating evangelicals probably think this is a perfect role for an actor and singer who is openly gay.

Evangelicals should chill the hell out, going to a musical is all about having fun and enjoying the pageantry and soul-stirring songs.

Trump’s PDB Should Be Delivered by Topless Adult Movie Stars

“Trump’s intelligence chief is exploring ways to revamp his routine intelligence briefing in order to build his trust in the material and make it more aligned with how he likes to consume information.

One idea that’s been discussed is creating a video version of the PDB that’s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast.”

NBC News

The Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) is a classified briefing that includes written text, as well as graphs and images.

Trump is functionally illiterate with the attention span of a toddler. He cannot read a children’s book in one sitting, if it is longer than a three-minute read. His intelligence briefers should eliminate all written documents, even if the data is presented in comic book format.

It’s an excellent idea to create a video version of the PDB that is made to resemble a Fox News broadcast. Fox is a propaganda arm of the administration, and the horndog-in-chief has hired several former Fox News fluffers to serve in the White House.

Fox News anchors and reporters are blond buxom babes with a penchant for wearing short skirts and sporting plunging necklines. The only females that Trump likes more than them are porn stars. The new PDB should employ topless porn stars to read the classified intelligence analysis.

Trump will be more likely to remember and take a warning seriously that Iran has significantly increased its uranium enrichment capabilities if it’s whispered seductively by a naked porn star than if it’s read sternly by an intelligence officer.

Trump Posts Meme Saying, ‘He’s on a Mission from God’ Featuring Pepe the Frog

Shortly after a trade court blocked his new “Liberation Day”’ tariffs Donald Trump posted a meme of himself on Truth Social with the words “He’s on a mission from God & nothing can stop what is Coming.”

The menacing picture depicts the disgraced president walking down a dark city street and it includes the alt-right symbol Pepe the Frog in the background.

People who are not steeped in MAGA conspiracy theories will simply interpret the meme as Trump’s response to the courts striking down his tariff regime.

But the Dear Leader’s followers will interpret the inclusion of Pepe as a hidden message to the faithful that he will root out and destroy the cannibalistic Democratic pedophiles from within the deep state and liberal ruling class. They will comfort themselves with the belief that their Orange Message is on a Mission from God to deport Brown and Black migrants, demonize and criminalize the LGBT community, decimate Medicare, SNAP and Medicaid, and declare war on everyone who hasn’t swallowed the Kool-Aid.

In the classic 1980 film The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood were on a “mission from God” to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised. They were trying to get their band back together to raise money and pay off the orphanage’s back taxes.

Damn Trump for co-opting the famous phrase from Blues Brothers. If Belushi were still alive he’d do a sequel wherein Jake and Elwood would be on a mission from God to save America by destroying Trump.

Melania Trump Releases Audiobook of Her Memoir with Artificial Intelligence

“Melania Trump has enlisted artificial intelligence to replicate her voice for the audiobook release of her recent memoir, ‘Melania.’”

San Francisco Chronicle

A conspiracy theory has been floating around for about a decade that the real Melania Trump has dead, and she has been replaced by a body double, clone or android.

Melania had cosmetic surgery on the area around her eyes. The crow’s feet were erased by pulling the skin back, taut. The procedure caused her eyes to slant back, giving her an ethereal ET look.

The conspiracy has gained credence because it is easy to believe that someone who looks like an extraterrestrial might be a clone or an android.

Nobody should be surprised that this fake personality has used AI to replicate her voice for the audiobook version of her memoir.

Melania has lived in the United States since the 1990’s, but she can barely speak English, so it makes sense that her autobiography is narrated entirely using artificial intelligence.

If Melania can barely speak English, it only reasonable to deduce that she cannot write anything more complicated than a love letter to Justin Trudeau. Although no ghostwriter has been officially acknowledged by Melania or her publisher, my bet is that the only part of the book she wrote was the title.

Would I buy an overpriced ghostwritten autobiography (oxymoron) that is probably replete with lies, which will enrich an already obscenely wealthy trophy wife of a corrupt billionaire president? Hell to the no!

Trump Inspires MAGA Revivals of Greed and Hate

“The Museum of the Bible based in Washington, D.C., recently sponsored an event organizer Joshua Feuerstein described as ‘an opportunity for Christian pastors to come to a revival at Mar-a-Lago,’ Trump’s Florida resort.

The cheapest tickets for the event (held not at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort but 80 miles away at Trump National Doral) were $500, with ‘a special discounted offer exclusively for pastors.’ The $7,000, $3,500 and $1,750 VIP tickets sold out.”

BaptistNews.Com

Religious revivals in American history originated in poor and rural communities. The Spirit of the Lord moved not in magnificent cathedrals but in revival meetings held in tents with dirt floors.

In the old-timey revival meetings, worshippers sought a closer walk with God manifest by speaking in tongues, rolling down the dirt floors (hence the term holy rollers) and exuberant praise and worship.

The revivals of the MAGA era originate in arena size mega churches where the unholy spirit of mammon moves the cultists to fund Trump’s crusade to turn our democracy into a White Nationalist Christian theocracy.

The speakers at the Museum of the Bible revival event included conspiracy theorist and disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and actor, comedian, conspiracy theorist and alleged serial rapist Russell Brand. With speakers like that I expect a revival of corruption, misinformation, and misogyny to break out.

With VIP (Very Insecure Pricks?) tickets sold for as high as $7,000, this was not a revival event for the poor that that attended the revivals of our past. I wonder, was the climax of this event a circle jerk where Brooks Brothers clad assholes splattered a golden statue of Donald Trump with their jizz?

Hegseth Holds Evangelical Prayer Service at Pentagon

Donald Trump does not have a conservative ideology or political philosophy that informs his policies and speeches, and he is not interested in pressuring Congress in enacting a legislative agenda that aligns with a traditional Republican platform.

Trump’s agenda is burnishing his brand and exploiting his office for financial gain. Trumpism permeates every aspect of his administration. He has populated his Cabinet with sycophants who are members of his evangelical cult.

The leader of this cult is Donald Trump and not Jesus Christ, and their motto is not “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” but screw others before they screw you.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is one of these MAGA Christians, his public profession of faith in Jesus Christ is in direct contradiction to his boozing, womanizing and predatory nature.

In a move that bulldozed the separation between Church and State, he hosted an evangelical prayer service at the Pentagon. The event was called the “Secretary of Defense Christian Prayer and Worship Service. It was broadcast throughout the building on its internal cable network.

Can you imagine the outcry if a Defense Secretary held a Muslim Prayer and Worship Service or a Wiccan Prayer and Casting Spells Service?

Standing behind a podium bearing the logo of the Defense Department, Hegseth declared that “this is precisely where I need to be, exactly where we need to be as a nation, at this moment in prayer, on bended knee, recognizing the providence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In a church pulpit Hegseth is free to recognize the “providence of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ”, but when he’s standing behind a podium bearing the logo of the Defense Department, he should be recognizing the authority of the Constitution of the United States.  

What a hypocrite, we all know that Hegseth would rather be at a bar, guzzling beer, harassing the female bartenders and toasting his real Lord and Savior, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Jr. Mocks Jill Biden After Her Husband’s Prostate Cancer Diagnosis

President Donald J. Trump and his family live and breathe politics; their malign MAGA ideology permeates their every word, verbal and written.

They never put politics aside, everything they say and do is calculated to disseminate their poisonous political beliefs.

When Joe Biden’s personal office released a statement that the former president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, which had spread to his bones, Donald Trump Jr. put politics aside and wished him a speedy recovery.

But the momentary light of compassion and empathy for his political enemy was soon snuffed out, and only hours later he posted this toxic tweet:

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???”

Junior is as evil as his father, but he’s not quite as dumb as the old man. His tweet was an attempt as sarcasm, he is aware that Jill Biden has a doctorate degree in education, not medicine.

But now is the time to put politics aside, it is not the time to stoke conspiracy theories and imply that Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer while he was still in office.

Whether it is from dementia, cancer or simply old age, Joe Biden will soon give up the ghost. For the love of God, put an end to the vilification of the former president and allow him to live out his last days in peace.

Evil Pumpkin Head Donald Trump Calls Bruce Springsteen a ‘Dried Out Old Prune’

Donald Trump, the former reality show star, craves the adulation of rock stars, but most of the entertainers who support him are aging, washed-up pop stars like Kid Rock, Black Nazis like Kanye West, calcified country crooners like Billy Ray Cyrus and notorious misogynists and accused child molesters like Ted Nugent.

Bruce Springsteen is an icon, a legend and still a superstar at 75 years-old, and he will never disgrace himself by praising the steaming pile of human excrement known as Donald Trump.

To the contrary, the Boss called the Trump administration corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous. On his tour opening show in Manchester, U.K. he urged his audience to fight against Trump’s fascism:

“Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American spirit to rise with us, raise your voices and stand with us against authoritarianism and let freedom ring.”

Trump responded to Springsteen’s withering attack by calling him a “dried out old prune.” The rock legend is four years younger than Trump, is in excellent physical and mental health and his concerts typically run for about three hours. That doesn’t seem like a dried out old prune to me.

Trump on the other hand, looks like a decaying Jack-o’-lantern pumpkin that’s been tossed on the side of the road.

Trump would be well-advised to bask in the attention of losers like West and Nugent, and not to tangle with winners like Bruce Springsteen.

Of Childhood, Rocky Road Candy Bars and a Wonderful Sister

My father was a sheet metal worker earning a subsistence wage, and my mother stayed at home to take care of her five children. I listened with envy when my classmates gushed over where they spent their summer vacations. We lived in Daly City, just outside of San Francisco, and for us a vacation meant an all-day bus pass to visit the familiar landmarks of the City by the Bay.

When we were in elementary school my siblings and I received a candy bar in lieu of an allowance. Although we complained about not getting money, we were nonetheless grateful for the rare delicacy. I savored every scrumptious bite of that Hershey’s milk chocolate bar, Nestle Crunch milk chocolate and crisped rice candy bar or a Rocky Road chewy marshmallow confection.

Ironically, though I can now afford to buy a boatload of candy, due to my history of diabetes I rarely eat any. For my birthday, my sister Jackie usually sends me a package of my favorite candy bar, Rocky Road. As a child there were only two varieties of Rocky Road, the original milk chocolate, and the mint. But the packages my sister sends me include many varieties, the original milk chocolate version, mint, s’mores, and even dark chocolate with sea salt.

For a glorious moment I’m no longer a senior citizen worried about obesity or diabetes but a hungry child with a ravenous appetite, and in just a couple of days I consume every delectable Rocky Road candy bar.

Trump: ‘I Know Words, the Best Words’

“I know words, I know the best words.”

Donald Trump

Trump is a functionally illiterate person averse to reading anything more substantial than editorials in conservative publications praising his administration. He does not have the attention span or intellect to read even the CliffsNotes of the great works of literature.

This ignorant narcissist can nevertheless boast that he has written about a dozen books. Of course, every book in his canon was ghostwritten.

Trump knows words, the best words that are the lexicon of elementary school children. Like most children he loves superlatives and generously sprinkles his speeches with them.

Like most kindergartners he has a penchant for fixating on words and phrases, whether it is “tariffs”, “build the wall” or “MAGA.”

And like most toddlers he often makes up his nonsensical words like “covfefe”, and he considers himself a genius for inventing them.

Trump’s favorite word is “Trump;” squirts scribble their names on walls and etch their names on furniture and Trump loves to Sharpie his John Hancock on important documents and name buildings after himself.

The moron took credit for creating a new word while blathering about lowering drug prices — a word (equalize) that’s been in the English language for centuries.

“Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing. There’s a new word that I came up with, which is probably the best word.”

 I know words, the best words, the most wonderful words in the world, and the word that best fits Trump is moron!

MAGA Terrified of Statue of Black Woman in Times Square

There are two permanent statues in Times Square: Father Francis P. Duffy and Geroge M. Cohan. A temporary statue of a Black woman, “Grounded in the Stars” was recently installed, and it has generated instant controversy.

I doubt any opinion pieces have been written about the Duffy and Cohan statues, but everybody has an opinion about the new work of art.

The giant 12-foot-tall bronze sculpture depicts a young heavyset Black woman, with braided hair, standing with hands on her hips, as she gazes into the open space.

MAGA cultists, have their panties in a twist over the sculpture created by British artist Thomas J. Price. They are more terrified of a sculpture of a Black woman than they are of a statue of a goat-head Baphomet or one of Chairman Mao wearing his trademark Mao suit and a cap with a 5-pointed red star sewn on to the front.

The hands on her hips denote confidence, the faraway look speaks of a contemplative spirit, the braided hair represents pride in her heritage, the T-shirt and pants outfit signifies a down-to-earth quality that resonates with most of the tourists who visit Times Square.

Of course, Trumpers are terrified of a confident and contemplative Black woman, especially when she stands 12-foot tall. They know that she is not going to put up with any of their racist bullshit.

The only thing I do not like about the sculpture is that it is temporary, it should be permanently installed.

Trump Hates Africans, But he Loves Afrikaners

“The Trump administration is treating Afrikaners, white descendants of mainly Dutch colonizers in South Africa, as ‘refugees’ and plans to bring them to the United States next week.

Trump is even planning on a welcome delegation of government officials to greet the first 54 people as they arrive at Dulles Airport on Monday.”

TNR

Donald Trump’s anti-immigration policy is rooted in racism and xenophobia. He demonizes immigrants from Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean, and he frequently repeats the false claim that prisoners from “the Congo” have been released into the United States to prey on Americans. No doubt Maga cultists have nightmares about headhunters from the Congo breaking into their trailer homes, stealing their beer, raping their cousins (i.e. wives) and BBQing their pets.

Trump hates Africans, but he loves Afrikaners, white South Africans of Dutch descent, who implemented and enforced apartheid, the discriminatory system of racial segregation.

Afrikaner farmers claim to face violence and discrimination; the South African government denies their allegations of racial discrimination. Elon Musk, who grew up under the benefits of apartheid in South Africa claims that Afrikaners are facing genocide. Elon has tremendous influence; is he being rewarded for his financial generosity?

In his first day in office Trump banned virtually all refugees as part of his crusade to make America white again. But Trump is giving Afrikaners priority status, expediting the process of their resettlement.

In addition to the welcoming committee will the Afrikaners be granted a free stay in the Lincoln bedroom.

Donald Trump Channels Marie Antoinette

I imagine Donald Trump had hundreds of dolls i.e., action figures to play with as a child. We know that the Manhattan Trump Tower had an entire floor for Barron Trump’s toys, including a Mercedes Benz, electric toy car, which had the logo and a license plate reading ‘BARRON’.

The manchild with doll hands still has dolls on his mind. In response to warning that his tariffs will lead to empty store shelves, Trump said: “Maybe children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, you know, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally.”

Trump grew up in a billionaires’ milieu where every young girl has dozens of dolls to play with, but if a working-class family were gifted 30 dolls, they would sell most of them on eBay to help pay the bills.

A disturbing image just came to me: the buffoon dressed in drag as Marie Antoinette saying, “let them eat cake, and let their daughters play with two dolls.”

Trump does not care how his tariffs will impact ordinary Americans, not only will they impact the price of toys made in China, but they will impact the price of houses, cars, furniture and just about every product imaginable.

All I need is one doll, a voodoo doll to represent Trump. I would insert a pin in his heart.

We know the fate that befell Marie Antoinette, Trump would be well-advised to reconsider his catastrophic tariffs war.

Trump Mocks Catholics by Posting AI Pic of Himself as Pope

Donald Trump is not a Roman Catholic, does not attend church regularly, is clueless about Catholic dogma and rituals, and he would mistake rosary beads for anal beads and the papal staff for a pimp stick.

Nevertheless, this sociopath heathen thought it would be humorous to post an AI-generated image on social media of himself seated in an ornate chair, dressed in white papal vestments and headdress.

The evangelicals’ orange messiah posted the pic just days after he said he would like to be the next pope.

The embodiment of the antichrist dressed as the pope, hilarious. I am not Catholic nor particularly religious, but I fail to see the humor.

The sacrilegious post elicited instant outrage from devout Catholics who consider Trump’s brand of humor a blatant insult to Catholics and a mockery of their faith.

But the MAGA faithful defend their Dear Leader, arguing that there is nothing wrong with him having a little harmless fun.

Vice President JD Vance, who is a Catholic, defended Trump for sharing the irreverent photo, writing in a social media post he is “fine with people telling jokes.”

Trump and Vance are the jokes, and they should keep their mouths shut when their critics post images of Trump dressed as a clown.

Lady in High Heels: ‘You Go Girl’ or “Bitch, Please!’

Stiletto heels, commonly known as “fuck me pumps” that exaggerate a sexual image are still extremely popular in this era of gender equality.

High heel shoes alter the alignment of the female form, causing the wearer to arch their back, thrust their boobs forward and elongate their legs. This ridiculous posture supposedly creates the appearance of a confident and poised woman, ready to take on the world.

When I see a woman wearing heels, I do not see a sexy and confident woman; I see an insecure bimbo who cares more about appearances than she does about wearing comfortable shoes that don’t negatively impact her back.

Anna Paulina Luna posted on X a list of six bills the Republican House has recently passed. She sat in a blazer and black trousers in front of an American flag, smiling while reading TIME magazine. She was wearing Christian Louboutin shoes with 5-inch heels that sell for around $845.

Bitch, please. It is obscene for a legislator to wear such expensive shoes. It is ridiculous for a powerful woman to feel the need to wear stiletto heels to emphasize her confidence and sexuality.

Trump is a Steaming Pile of Human Shit

The golden rule of those basking in their golden years is: Respect your elders.

I am a boomer, but I call bullshit on this hackneyed mantra. When I was a child and anyone in authority, be it a teacher, member of the clergy or my parents told me to revere my elders I nodded in agreement, even though I realized that most adults are not worthy of veneration.

Respect is a two-way street; it is not something that is bestowed automatically simply because someone is older. Respect must be earned, and I urge the younger generations to respect only those who treat them with respect and whose words and actions are worthy of admiration.

Case in point: Donald Trump

In deference to his prestigious office and advanced years should we treat Donald Trump with respect?

Does Trump treat anyone with respect? It’s a rhetorical question, everyone knows that he is vindictive towards his enemies, contemptuous of his allies, and disrespectful towards everyone who does not bow down before him.

Are Trump’s words and actions worthy of respect? Almost every word that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth is a lie, an obscenity or sheer lunacy. His every action is self-serving and calculated to enrich his bank accounts or burnish his brand.

Youngsters, please feel free to heap profanities on the steaming pile of human shit.

Trump’s Blue Suit at Pope Francis’ Funeral Sparks Outrage

The Vatican’s dress code requires male guests attending papal funerals to wear a formal black suit, black tie, and a black lapel pin.

President Donald Trump was sharply criticized for wearing his trademark blue suit, paired with a blue tie and an American flag lapel pin.

The 78-year-old president stuck out like a sore thumb in a sea of attendees dressed in black, the proper color for such an event.

Catholics and non-Catholics alike consider black attire appropriate for funerals, but nobody should be surprised that an attention seeking narcissist did not follow social conventions.

I am surprised Trump did not attend the papal funeral in his birthday suit, expecting everyone to praise his most splendid funeral suit befitting the Emperor of the World.

Trump should have worn mismatched clothing, oversized shoes, a pink wig and painted his nose red, befitting his status as the biggest clown in the world.

But even if Trump had worn a formal black suit and a black tie, he would still have been out of place. A leader who embodies the spirt of the antichrist has no place in a funeral honoring a pope who patterned his life and ministry after Christ.

Donald Trump: ‘Vladimir, Stop’

“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir Stop.

Donald Trump

Trump posted this plaintive plea after Putin launched one of the most damaging attacks on a Ukrainian city since it invaded its neighbor more than three years ago.

It came a day after Trump said he believed “Russia is ready” for a peace deal with Ukraine.

Of course, Trump thinks Russia is ready for a peace deal, after all he’s given Putin everything he wants, including conceding that Crimea belongs to Russia.

Trump is besotted with the Russian dictator, and he’s made many concessions on Ukraine’s behalf, while not asking for any concessions from him.

During his presidential campaign, the dealmaker-in-chief repeatedly bragged that he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine “in 24 hours” upon taking office. Almost one hundred days later and he’s ready to quit negotiations if there isn’t a deal in the next few days.

“Vladimir, stop,” is not a demand from a statesman in control of the negotiations, it’s a desperate plea from a weakling supplicant.

“Vladimir, stop,” is not what the putative Leader of the Free World tells a 3rd rate power who is mercilessly bombing a smaller nation.

“Vladimer, stop,” isn’t President Ronald Reagan instructing Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.”

“Vladimir, stop,” is a desperate appeal from a weak and cowardly piece of garbage.

“Vladimir, stop,” is the embarrassing supplication that embodies the weakness and veniality of the Trump administration.

Racist GOP Congresswomen Vilify Rep. Al Green as a Pimp, a Boy and a Faker

Al Green is the representative from Texas’s 9th congressional district, throughout his congressional tenure, he has focused on issues impacting the poor and minorities such as fair housing, fair hiring practices and abortion rights.

Green, 77, has mobility issues and is seldom seen without his trademark cane. The human rights warrior waved his cane and shouted truth to power when President Donald Trump delivered a speech to a joint session of Congress in early March. Thank God someone had the moral integrity to interrupt Trump’s litany of lies and obscenities.

Green transformed his walking cane, a symbol of weakness and infirmity, into a symbol of power and strength. He reminded me of Moses waving his rod to part the Red Sea.

But fervent evangelical and MAGA firebrand Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert had a different take. She said Green didn’t need the cane to walk, adding the racist insult, “If that gold-plated cane isn’t a pimp cane, I don’t know what is.”

Recently GOP Rep. Diana Harshbarger said, “Boy, put that cane… He does not need that cane. That cane is a prop. I swear it’s not real. It may hold a gun inside.”

MAGA Republicans don’t even try to hide their blatant racism: they call an elderly statesman a “boy”, accuse him of faking his need for a cane, and imply he may be hiding a gun inside it.

We need a legion of courageous warriors like Green to speak truth to power and defeat the fascist Trump and his racist MAGA followers.

Trump’s Reaction to FSU Mass Shooting: ‘Things Like This Take Place’

“While speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Donald Trump made his first public comments on the shooting. ‘It’s a shame. Horrible thing. Horrible thing. Things like this take place.’”

Yahoo.com

A shooter opened fire on campus at Florida State University, killing two people and injuring six others. Unfortunately, this is a sickening scenario that has become commonplace in high schools, universities, houses of worship, concert venues and almost anywhere that people congregate in public.

When such senseless acts of violence take place, reporters ask the president, who is supposed to be the consoler-in-chief, to say a few words to try to make sense of the senseless.

The current president is a sociopath incapable of empathy, so we should not be surprised that his initial reaction was: “things like this take place.” He might as well have said, “shit happens.”

When questioned later by reporters on whether another mass shooting should result in changes to gun legislation, Trump instead defended the Second Amendment.

Trump was not so cavalier when an assassin’s bullet nicked his ear. He milked the moment for all it was worth, wearing a bandage that looked like a sanitary pad for weeks afterward.

A vacuous statement like “Things like this take place” from the president and “thoughts and prayer” offered by the MAGA faithful are like a slap on the face to the victims’ families.

We need to take gun violence seriously and we need gun legislation that bans assault rifles. That’s what the victims’ of gun violence want.

Trump and MAGA Faithful Incapable of Empathy

The Old Testament God was vengeful, jealous, and quick to wrath, and his chosen people lived by the code of exacting a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye. If Jehovah ordered the Israelites to commit genocide against the peoples who were living in the promised land, you could not expect them to express empathy for foreigners.

The God of the New Testament is forgiving, tolerant and merciful, and his followers lived by the Golden Rule.

MAGA evangelicals disdain Jesus as woke and weak, and they embrace the macho deity of the Old Testament who didn’t flinch from drowning every man, woman, and child in the world, except for Noah and his incestuous family.

Trump is a sociopath incapable of empathy, and in the eyes of his supporters, the sociopathy of their orange messiah is superior to the empathy of Jesus.

They have no empathy for immigrants who are fleeing poverty and persecution in their homelands and seeking freedom and dignity in America. They have no empathy for the LGBTQ community who are not seeking any special rights, but seeking equality in the church, workplace and in the public square. They have no sympathy for Blacks, Latinos and other racial minorities who are struggling to make America a more perfect union. They have no empathy for anyone who doesn’t look like them.

I’d rather follow the Golden Rule than subscribe to the “they who have the gold make the rules” philosophy of the Oligarchs and their MAGA useful idiots.

I am Disgusted by Blue Origin’s All-Female Crew Joy Ride

The broadcast and cable news networks extended saturation coverage to the Blue Origin all female flight crew of pop star Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey’s BFF Gayle King, Jeff Bezos’ fiancé Lauren Sanchez, social entrepreneur Amanda Nguyen, film producer Kerianne Flynn, and honest to goodness rocket scientist Aisha Bowe. The inclusion of Bowe did not give any legitimacy to this 11-minute fantasy flight, they might as well have sent six Hooter girls to space.

Blue Origin proudly declared that the celebrity crew had officially become astronauts. However, according to rules issued by the FAA, Perry and her fellow passengers are not really astronauts at all. They are technically classified as “space travelers,” in fact they are just glorified space cadets.

This was not an example of female empowerment, but another glaring example of our obsession with celebrity culture. It appears that most of the preparation for this joy ride was spent lathering on the make-up.

The millions wasted on this made-for-TV event should have been used to pay for university scholarships for dozens of financially needy women.

Katy Perry melodramatically kissed the ground after returning from her flight. Really? Anybody who thinks this circus deserved saturation media coverage can kiss my ass.
