Selfie of Karoline Leavitt Wearing ‘Make America Blond Again’ Shirt is Real

Leave a comment

“A photograph is circulating that allegedly shows White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wearing a black T-shirt with white writing that reads: “Make America Blonde Again.” The picture appears to depict the Trump administration spokesperson taking a selfie in a mirror at a hair salon.”

Snopes.com

Snopes verdict: True! Not fake news. Not the product of digital editing or artificial intelligence software.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is the quintessential female face of the MAGA Trump administration: deer in the headlights stare, heavy eye makeup, pronounced facial contour, and blond locks befitting a Nazi Queen.

Of course, she usually wears the requisite MAGA accessory: a dangling ostentatious gold cross dangling from her neck.

Leavitt taking a selfie while wearing a black T-shirt with white writing that reads, “Make America Blond Again”, is the ultimate dumb blond joke. Leavitt’s blank stare indicates that she is oblivious to the racist connotations of her controversial shirt.

Her T-Shirt is as offensive as a red MAGA cap. When exactly was America great for Blacks, Latinos or Native Americans? The further back we go back in time the more of a dystopian nightmare life in America was for racial, sexual, and religious minorities.

We need to make America great by making White Nationalist Christian bimbos too ashamed and afraid to wear blatantly racist attire.

Elon Musk Humiliates Himself Trying to Buy Wisconsin Supreme Court

Leave a comment

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, subscribes to the philosophy that “he who dies with the most toys wins.” Musk bought Tesla and turned it into the most successful EV company in the world before his affinity for extremist rightwing political parties in Europe and his bromance with Donald Trump sent Tesla shares plummeting.

He bought Twitter and turned the world’s most successful micro-blogging into a toxic site infested with racists and conspiracy theorists. Advertisers, corporations, and liberals deserted the site, nobody wants to be associated with his malignant social media platform.

Musk’s most controversial purchase was Trump, he poured more than a quarter of a billion dollars into the sociopath’s presidential campaign. Trump rewarded Musk by making him co-president and giving him free rein to slash the federal budget. Musk’s purchase of Trump is destined to be a bigger disaster than Twitter and Tesla combined.

After buying the American presidency Musk was under the delusion that there wasn’t anything he couldn’t buy. He tried to buy Wisconsin’s democracy to corrupt Wisconsin’s judiciary. The billionaire did everything in his power to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat: he poured $20 million into the race, paid voters $100 to sign a petition against “activist judges” and gave out three $1million checks to voters.

But Wisconsin voters told Musk “You can’t buy our Supreme Court.” Liberal Judge Susan Crawford crushed Musk’s candidate, Judge Brad Schimel.

Hopefully, Musk’s humiliation will cause him to exit politics and concentrate on saving Tesla.

After Trump Meets with Laura Loomer, Security Officials get Loomered

Leave a comment

Donald Trump has been urged to fire Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and other top security officials by influential pundits and top tier politicians following the devastating leak of extremely sensitive war plans. But Trump dismisses SignalGate as fake news and a witch hunt, and he refuses to fire or even discipline anyone involved in the debacle.

But after one 30-minute meeting with Laura Loomer, a MAGA influencer who is batshit crazy, he fired have a dozen security officials because she accused them of being disloyal neo-cons, and not due to their incompetence that endangered the lives of military personnel.

Loomer, a MAGA firebreather, has a penchant for posting Islamophobic and anti-immigrant posts on social media and she infamously made vile racist attacks against Kamala Harris. Naturally, she has the ear of the racist-in chief Donald Trump, and he values her opinion even though she is not officially a member of his administration.

Loomer is so notorious for ambush-style interviews that her surname has become a verb; politicians rarely agree to be interviewed by her for fear of “getting Loomered.”

The wrong individuals got Loomered, instead of low-level security officials, it should have Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Security Adviser Mike Walz who got Loomered.

Of course, it’s Trump who should be fired for surrounding himself with incompetent sycophants and crazy conspiracy theorists who care more about fluffing their messiah and furthering their own careers than they do about defending the rule of law and preserving our democracy.

Karoline Leavitt says SignalGate Case Closed

Leave a comment

When White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stands behind the podium that bears the presidential seal, she usually has a large cross dangling from her neck. She is sending a signal to the assembled reporters and to television viewers that she is representing President Donald Trump, her orange messiah.

During her Monday press briefing Leavitt was asked for an update on any review to the SignalGate debacle that witnessed a reporter accidentally added to a group chat in which top Trump officials discussed a war strike on Yemen.

“This case has been closed here at the White House, as far as we are concerned,” she snapped. “There have been steps made to ensure that something like that can obviously never happen again.”

“Case closed”. The message could not be any clearer, the Trump administration is done talking about the group war chat, and everyone else should fall in line, including reporters.

The case has never been opened, and the administration has not explicitly stated what steps, if any, have been taken to ensure that such a colossal mistake will never happen again.

Case not closed. Most of the White House correspondents are not members of the cult, and their job is to hold regime officials accountable for their mistakes and lapses in judgment.

SignalGate is unacceptable. Reporters must demand answers. Citizens must demand accountability. We must hold the Trump administration accountable for their gross incompetence and glaring arrogance that is making our country less safe, and our democracy more fragile.

Roy Cohn was the embodiment of evil, in his autobiography he dubbed himself, “a new strain of sonofabitch.” He was Senator Joseph McCarthy’s chief counsel during the Army-McCarthy hearings in 1954, when he assisted McCarthy in his crusade to destroy democracy in the name of fighting communism.

Cohn had a sociopath’s instinct for sniffing out evil, and he represented and mentored Donald Trump during Trump’s early business career.

Trump’s never forgotten the three rules he learned from his mentor: always attack, always deny everything, and always declare victory. These rules have served Trump well in his business, entertainment, and political careers.

Trump is a pathological practiced liar, and his penchant for lying has permeated his administration. They deny the unpleasant, inconvenient, and incriminating truth, attack those who speak truth to power, and they always declare victory even when they are standing in the rubble of a devastating defeat.

So, when caught red-handed sharing classified information on a public messaging app, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the other security officials, did what their sociopath boss would have done: brazenly lie.

Signalgate was an egregious act of incompetence, and an unparalleled display of arrogance that risked national security, put the lives of our miliary personnel at risk and flouted laws that try to ensure government accountability.

Signalgate has exposed that deceitful brats who express themselves with emojis hold the highest offices in our government and are beholden to the King of Lies.

Putin Gifted a Portrait of Trump to the US President

“Russian President Vladimir Putin gave U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff a portrait of President Trump to deliver to the U.S. president as a gift, the Kremlin confirmed on Monday.”

The Hill

Donald Trump an authoritarian sociopath, has a history of developing crushes on dictators. The overweight lover rhapsodized about his dalliance with Kim Jong Un, the Dear Leader of North Korea: “He wrote me beautiful letters. And they’re great letters. We fell in love.” After they consummated their love the first time, I bet he used a Sharpie to draw a heart on Kim’s butt, while Kim set off rockets in his mind.

Kim is Trump’s side piece; the love of his life is the ruthless Russian dictator Valdimir Putin. He is a brutal tyrant who assassinates his political opponents, invades countries bordering Russia, and destabilizes democracies by disseminating fake news, but Trump almost never criticizes him. To the contrary, the orange hued Romeo, with a penchant for uttering superlatives, saves the most sensational ones for his Russian lover.

Putin does not have any homoerotic feelings for Trump, but he encourages the idiot’s infatuation with him for political expediency. Putin knows the narcissist will be thrilled with a portrait of himself, and the gift will pay of dividends in the peace negotiations over Ukraine.

I would not be surprised if Putin also gave the orange buffoon a glossy poster of Putin. Imagine Trump admiring Putin’s poster with his ravenous raccoon eyes and his industrious tiny hands.

Elon Musk is the CEO of the American Oligarchy

In a parliamentary government, the real executive power rests with the prime minister, who is the head of government. The president, usually a non-entity, serves as a ceremonial head of state. For example, everybody knows that the prime minister of Israel is the bombastic Benjamin Netanyahu, while almost nobody knows that Isaac Herzog is the president.

America is a constitutional federal republic, and the executive power rests with the president. In the second Trump administration, Trump acts like the president of a parliamentary style government; he loves the pomp and circumstance of the presidency and is in his element signing executive orders and making speeches.

The real executive power rests with Elon Musk, he is the CEO of the USA, and he is busy turning our democracy into an oligarchy. Two months into the Musk administration, the United States is in chaos mode. Musk is downsizing the federal government like an efficiency expert on crack. Musk is taking the patented Republican passion for limited government to an insane level, slashing the government to the bone.

Tariffs levied and then rescinded, legions of workers fired one week and then rehired the next, judicial orders blatantly ignored, what will be the end result of all this chaos?

We’re already in a constitutional crisis, will the Musk regime end in Civil War? An entrenched oligarchy? White Christian Nationalist theocracy?

We are in 1933 Germany when Hitler assumed power, and we don’t have a minute to lose, we must take back our country now.

Franklin Graham Cautions Trump on Profanity! Goddamn Wanker!

Matthew 12:36: “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak.”

Franklin Graham, one of the most prominent evangelical Trump cheerleaders, has urged Donald Trump, privately and publicly, to refrain from uttering profanities at press conferences and speeches.

As President of the United States and nominal Leader of the Free World, Trump has a bully pulpit that amplifies his every utterance, even his most banal and profane tweets.

Trump will have a lot to answer for on Judgment Day; almost every word that emanates from his sphincter-shaped month is careless. Trump’s brain isn’t a computer that weighs the meaning of every word and calculates how it may resonate with different audiences, it’s a megaphone that blares his unfiltered diatribes.

Graham gets his panties in a twist whenever Trump cusses, but MAGA cultists cream their pants when their Orange Messiah swears, especially when the profanity is directed at a political opponent. Trump has uttered expletives in evangelical churches, with nary a murmur of disapproval from the god-fearing folks. They aren’t bothered even when Trump spits out a “goddam.”

Graham chastises Trump for using four-letter words, but he has nothing to say about Trump’s racism, misogyny, greed, mendacity, fascist tendencies, and overall contemptible behavior.

Goddamn Franklin straight to hell, the hypocrite will have a lot to answer for in the Day of Judgement. He will have to give an account for all his sermons praising Donald Trump, who is the embodiment of evil.

Trump Turnberry Golf Course Wrecked by Pro-Palestinian Activists

“Pro-Palestine activists have took aim a Scottish golf course owned by Donald Trump this weekend, after they defaced buildings and dug-up holes on the green. Messages where also sprayed across the lawns, reading ‘Gaza is not for sale’.”

The London Economic

Trump-branded hotels and commercial buildings are his best-known real estate properties, but the avid golfer’s most prized possessions are his golf courses; he owns many including in the USA, Scotland, Ireland, and even in the United Arab Emirates.

I imagine Trump’s concept of heaven is a golf resort where the greens have pristine bermudagrass, every par-3-hole results in a hole-in-one, and every caddie has an Uncle Tom grin frozen on his face.

If you want to hurt Trump do not hire a gang of thugs to beat up his supporters, he has nothing but contempt for the blue-collar evangelicals who make up most of his base, and he could care less if they suffer in his name.

The pro-Palestinian activists who vandalized his Trump Turnberry Golf Course claim their action was in protest of Trump’s desire to ethnically cleanse Gaza and turn it into a Riviera of the Middle East.

I hope American pro-Palestinian activists take notes and make every Trump golf course in America look like rubble strewn Gaza.

Trump Will Lead Evangelicals to Damnation and Fascism

Evangelicals embrace superstition and conspiracy theories and reject science, empirical facts, and common sense. Evangelicals are woefully ignorant of the Bible; they memorize select verses and brandish them as swords to slay gay people, feminists, and liberals.

They don’t recognize that the Good Book was compiled over a period of about 1,500 years and written by different authors from various backgrounds. They consider the Bible to be one book and therefore feel free to cherry pick verses from disparate books in the Bible to construct their own dogmas which are alien to orthodox Christianity. They treat Scripture as a Lego set, each verse a Lego piece that they use to construct monstrous ideas that are antithetical to the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Atheists are more biblically literate than evangelicals, and they are immune from being conned by shyster evangelists and corrupt politicians who use religious rhetoric to sway the electorate.

Evangelicals are so ignorant of the Bible, and so unfamiliar with the Jesus of the Gospels that they worship a sociopath who has nothing in common with Jesus and everything in common with the antichrist.

You might as well tilt at windmills than use the Bible, common sense, or facts to prove to evangelicals that they are following Trump down a road that leads to damnation and fascism.

They are beyond spiritual or political redemption, and it is an exercise in futility to engage with them. Instead, expend your time and energy in encouraging Democrats to save our democracy.

Trump Calls Himself a King

Troll-in-chief Donald Trump blocked New York City’s congestion pricing program, reversing a federal approval granted last year. The congestion toll charges drivers $9 to enter Manhattan, and it was successful in easing Manhattan’s notorious congestion and helped fund public transit.

Trump’s action is out of pocket, unconstitutional, and just another example of him acting as if he’s a king who isn’t subject to any laws and can do whatever he pleases.

Trump celebrated his action online, posting on Truth Social: “CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!”

The White House’s official Instagram account shared an image of Trump with a crown and the words “LONG LIVE THE KING.”

Nary a word of protest from conservatives, they weren’t offended in the least by the spectacle of the president of the greatest democracy in the world acting like a king and calling himself a king.

The MAGA crowd ridiculed liberals for being offended and praised Trump’s gift of trolling. But can you imagine if President Barack Obama had referred to himself as a king? They would have said: Maybe he’s the King of Kenya, or perhaps he’s one of those faux Nigerian princes who swindles white Americans out of their money.

If Joe Biden had called himself a king, Trump’s followers would have compared him to King George III of Great Britain who suffered from dementia.

Trump is not a king, he is a wannabe dictator, and a sorry excuse for a president.

Trump: ‘He Who Saves His Country Does Not Violate any Law’

Donald Trump’s fascist philosophy summarized in one-sentence, “He who saves his Country does not violate any law”, is pinned atop his Truth Social profile.

This quotation is attributed to Napolean Bonaparte a narcissist personality who like Trump had an illusion of grandiosity, a craving for admiration and a singular lack of empathy.

This reminds me of Richard Nixon’s infamous line: “Well when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.” The Republican Party of the 1970’s wasn’t as cynical and corrupt as Trump’s GOP, and Republican statesmen joined their Democratic colleagues in forcing Nixon to resign.

Trump makes Nixon look like a piker, and his scandals and assaults on democracy makes Watergate look like a peccadillo.

In his first weeks of his presidency Trump has dramatically expanded the power of the executive branch by issuing over a hundred executive orders that impede on the House’s power of the purse and that have challenged the judiciary branch.

Trump’s execrable line is basically a “FU” to the legal challenges that he faces, he is drunk with power and confident that he will prevail over Congress, the Supreme Court and everyone who still believes in our democracy.

“He who serves his Country does not violate any law” is a challenge to those of us who aren’t enthralled by the authoritarian sociopath. Are we going to let Trump destroy our democracy? I hope we will do everything within our power to defend our democracy from Trump and his enablers, supporters, and sycophants.

Is JD Vance a Worse Human Being than Trump?

Donald Trump is a pathological liar, serial adulterer, adjudicated rapist, wannabe dictator, conniving fraudster, lifelong racist, and just a general stinking pile of human shit.

If the Almighty finally has enough of the orange messiah and smites the morbidly obese sociopath with a heart attack, we’ll be better off with JD Vance as president, right? Maybe not.

But is the cynical bastard who once called Trump a “moral disaster, cynical asshole, cultural heroin and possible America’s Hitler” and who experienced an epiphany and now praises Trump as the MAGA messiah who will make America great again, really an improvement?

Say what you will about Trump, and there is plenty negative to say about the blathering idiot, but he would never allow anyone to insult his wife. Trump is no wimpy Ted Cruz; he would go nuclear against anyone foolish enough to denigrate his trophy wife.

Marko Elez, a 25-year-old DOGE employee, is a blatant racist who has posted many racist posts on X, including:

“Just for the record, I was racist before it was cool.”

“You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.”

“Normalize Indian hate.”

After the Wall Street Journal exposed Elez’ racist tweets, he resigned from DOGE in disgrace. Elon Musk ran a poll on X asking if he should be rehired, and of course 80 percent Of X’s racist subscribers said he should be rehired. And of course, the racist Trump administration rehired Elez.

Did JD Vance who is married to an Indian American, and has three children with her denounce the racism of the DOGE employee and demand that he never be rehired? Not exactly.

Here was Vance’s reaction:

I obviously disagree with some of Elez’s posts, but I don’t think stupid social media activity should ruin a kid’s life. We shouldn’t reward journalists who try to destroy people. Ever. So, I say bring him back. If he’s a bad dude or a terrible member of the team, fire him for that.

What a cowardly piece of garbage! Elez is an unrepentant racist who never apologized for his racist tweets, and that automatically makes him a bad dude who has no business being a member of DOGE.

Unfortunately, Trumpism will not die with Trump, not as long as there are assholes like Vance and his ilk in prominent positions in government.

Elon Musk and Lil X Dominate Oval Office Presser with Donald Trump

MAGA King Donald Trump and zillionaire Elon Musk appeared together at the Oval Office, where they defended Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) unconstitutional and draconian efforts to downsize the federal government and slash spending.

Whenever the megalomaniac Trump appears in a photo-op with any of his aides, his sycophants defer to their Dear Leader, gaze lovingly at him, and speak only if he deigns to give them a few seconds to lavish praise on him.

But this time Musk dominated the presser, he spoke at length and most of the reporters, cognizant of who the real power is, addressed their questions to him, and not Trump.

In fact, Trump was the third wheel, all the attention was focused on Musk and his four-year-old son X Æ A-Xii, affectionally known as “Lil X.” The little brat made faces and picked his nose while his dad spoke. At one time Lil X was about a foot away from Trump while he was picking his nose, and the president remarked that he was a little genius.

Can you imagine if Kanye West visited the Oval Office with his five-year-old son Psalm West in tow, and the little kid picked his nose? I guarantee racist Trump wouldn’t feel led of the Spirit to call him a genius, and the infamous germaphobe would be terrified that he might touch him and infect him with his boogers.

The tech entrepreneur has 12 children with three different women, and I doubt Lil X receives much attention from his father, which is probably a good thing. Trump bought Twitter, rebranded it X, and turned it into a toxic waste site, let’s hope Lil X fares better than X.

Trump: ‘To Get Gravitas You Have to be a Horrible Human Being’

Donald Trump was in a reflective mood at the National Prayer Breakfast after his administration unleased chaos by beginning his mass deportation program, shutting down US AID, announced his plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, and the GOP-controlled Congress confirmed the first batch of clowns, charlatans and crooks to his cabinet.

“To get gravitas, you have to be controversial and in many cases, a horrible human being,” the orange MAGA messiah mused at the Washington Hilton.

The dictionary definition of “gravitas” is “dignity seriousness or solemnity of manner.” Synonyms include dignity, bearing, comportment, mien, and presence.

Trump is the antitheses of a statesman who is blessed with gravitas, he has all the gravitas of cotton candy drenched in urine.

Trump is mistaking “notoriety” for “gravitas.” Trump has indeed achieved notoriety by being a horrible human being who persecutes his political enemies, demonizes marginalized groups like the LGBTQ community, especially trans people, and criminalizes migrants whose only crime is seeking a better life in America.

Trump’s sycophants are totally behind his crusade to get gravitas by being a horrible human being, their mantra is “let Trump be Trump”, which basically means “let Trump be a jerk.”

Trump’s speech at the prayer meeting was met with wild applause by the audience of MAGA evangelicals, but for the rest of us it was a portent that when Trump’s devolution is complete he will be a horrible human being that makes the antichrist look like a boy scout.

ICE Barbie Kristi Noem Gets Dolled Up for Deportation Raid Photo-Op

Immediately after being sworn in Donald Trump signed executive orders empowering law enforcement agents to deport undocumented migrants who have committed felonies.

Federal officers immediately swept into sanctuary cities, nabbing thousands of migrant criminals, including many whose only “crime” was applying for asylum.  

Trump’s political allies have adopted desperate measures to prove that they are just as racist as their Dear Leader, indulging in the hateful rhetoric that America is being invaded by hordes of black and brown criminals from shithole countries.

Kristi Noem the former South Dakota governor, infamous dog killer, and Trump’s new Homeland Security Secretary, is already portraying herself as the biggest enemy of migrants.

In photos posted to X by Noem, she donned a bullet-proof vest and a cap with a police crest and posed alongside ICE and DEA agents, brandishing assault rifles.

The Ice Barbie attempted to soften her macho appearance by apparently using a trowel to apply pancake makeup, lip gloss and mascara.

She posted a video of law enforcement perp-walking an undocumented immigrant with the caption, “Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets.”

The biggest dirtbag is Trump who is constructing a facility capable of holding 30,000 deported migrants at Guantánamo Bay naval base. This deplorable action by Trump will only add to the wretched history of Gitmo where terrorism suspects were imprisoned and tortured during Bush’s Global War on Terrorism.

Noem who cosplays at being an Ice Barbie ICE Agent is just as bad as Trump; they are the racist dirtbags what must be dumped in the garbage if we are to survive as a democracy.

The Symbiotic Relationship Between Trump and White Evangelicals

The toxic and symbiotic relationship between Donald Trump and white evangelicals has changed since 2016 when the Bible thumpers initially tentatively embraced the amoral bastard.

Back then they were queasy and hesitant to publicly support the pathological liar, serial philanderer and unethical real estate tycoon. The sanctimonious hypocrites distanced themselves from his immoral conduct, penchant for uttering profanities and petty vindictiveness, but they embraced his stand against abortion and his affinity for the Zionist state of Israel.

They regarded Trump as a corrupt politician but nevertheless a messiah chosen by the Almighty to Make America Great Again and to turn back the tide of moral decadence.

But now white evangelicals are as corrupt, petty and vindictive as their Dear Leader. Trump has a cultlike hold on his evangelical devotees, and they support him not despite the fact that he’s amoral, but precisely because he’s a ruthless moral monster who’s on a mission from God to destroy liberals.

In 2016 they cringed when Trump uttered an obscenity at his MAGA rallies, now they laugh and recite the profanity along with him. They experience a spiritual orgasm when Trump engages in violent and hateful rhetoric. In short, they have become indistinguishable from their evil leader, and they have turned into the moral decadence that is ruining our great democracy.

The end stage of this symbiotic relationship is when the parasite from hell Trump, has sucked every last drop of goodness that may have existed at one time in the white evangelical movement.

Homophobe Franklin Graham Will Deliver Invocation at Trump Inauguration

On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was sworn in as the Chancellor of Germany and the Nazi Party assumed control. No Jewish Germans were present to celebrate the ascendancy of their arch enemy as the absolute ruler of Germany.

On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the President of the United States, and the MAGA movement will control the presidency, both chambers of Congress and the Supreme Court. Unfortunately, Log Cabin Republicans and other gay Republicans will be president to celebrate the return to power of the enemy of the LGBTQ community.

The invocation at Trump’s inauguration will be delivered by two raging homophobes: evangelical minister Franklin Graham and Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Both of these “men of God” are well known for their vitriolic anti-gay rhetoric. Graham said celebrating LGBTQ Pride is like celebrating “lying, adultery, or murder” and he castigated Pete Buttigieg for having the temerity to be and out and proud gay man. Dolan is a vehement opponent of same-sex marriage, and he said gay people are entitled to “friendship” not sexual love.”

The closing prayer will feature Rabbi Ari Berman, an Orthodox Jew, a branch of the Jewish faith that is not LGBTQ affirming. It seems like the organizers of the Trump inauguration went out of their way to feature the most notorious anti-gay clergy.

Why would any self-respecting member of the LGBTQ community attend an inauguration ceremony with such a glaring anti-gay vibe? I won’t even watch this travesty on TV.

Why is Trump Glaring in His Inaugural Photo?

Donald Trump’s newest official portrait, captured by his chief photographer, Daniel Torok, and not by a vindictive tabloid paparazzo perfectly captures his malevolent essence.  

In the photo, the president-elect dons a stern expression, eyebrow cocked as if he is contemplating what evil he is going to unleash in the next four years. The disturbing image deliberately bears an uncanny resemblance to Trump’s mug shot, as if he wants to convey the message that his enemies must gird themselves for biblical style retribution and vengeance.

Trump is depicted sternly squinting, bathed from lighting from below, as if the faux lighting is emanating from the pit of hell. This photo is an antithesis of portraitists who employ “heavenly light” to express God’s delight in the object of their painting.

Nobody should be surprised that Trump is not smiling, he eschews smiling in photos because he equates smiles with weakness and scowls with strength.

This is the image which will be printed in the programs his MAGA cultists will clutch on Inauguration Day, reminding them that their orange messiah is no wimpy Jesus.

The grifter-in-chief has a talent for hawking Trump-branded merchandize to his devotees, and I would not be surprised if he sells a signed limited-edition print of his official inaguaration portrait.

I will not be buying any prints of his photographs, and I will studiously avoid watching his unsmiling ugly mug whenever it pollutes my TV screen.

Trump Wants to Rename Gulf of Mexico ‘Gulf of America’

“President-elect Donald Trump proposed renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America,” citing U.S. dominance and economic activity in the region, while also hinting at tariffs on Mexico over drug trafficking concerns.”

TimesNowNews.Com

Donald Trump, aka the stable genius, and wannabe oceanographer doesn’t know the difference between a gulf, a bay and an ocean, nevertheless he wants to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”

I see no need to rename the Gulf of Mexico, considering that the US gulf coastline is smaller than the Mexican gulf coastline. Anyway, it was known as the Gulf of Mexico or “Gulfo de Mexico”, long before there was an entity called America, created in a territory formerly occupied by indigenous people from Mexico and the United States.

I am actually surprised Trump, the noted egomaniac, doesn’t float buoys in the gulf branded with his name, and renames it the “Gulf of Trump.”

MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she would quickly introduce a bill renaming the Gulf of Mexico, shortly after hearing the Dear Leader’s remarks. Her bill will quickly pass since the House is infested with Trump sycophants, but Mexicans, most Americans and the rest of the world will still call it the Gulf of Mexico.

Regardless of what it’s called, Trump the climate change denier will “drill baby drill” and pollute the Gulf of Mexico with offshore oil and natural gas rigs.

Trump hasn’t been inaugurated yet but he’s already chaos and confusion with his ridiculous statements.

Trump’s White House Needs a Pet to Counter the Oppressive Evil

It is hard to reconcile the vengeful and horrific acts of the Old Testament deity with the loving and forgiving nature of the Jesus Christ of the New Testament. How can a devout person rationalize the Hebrew Bible’s endorsement of slavery, genocide, homophobia, misogyny, and xenophobia? Except for Noah and his family, Jehovah drowned every human being in the world including babies, pregnant women, the elderly and the mentally feeble. That is horrific beyond imagination, but what’s even worse was the wholesale murder of innocent and sentient animals who are incapable of evil thoughts or deeds and are at the mercy of humans and God.

You do not have to believe in the Calvinist doctrine of the total depravity of man, to concur that people really suck.

When Joe Biden’s term ends, his last remaining pet, a tabby called Willow, will leave with him, leaving the White House bereft of cats and dogs.

Even the best politicians like Biden are inherently corrupt to some extent, and the worst like incoming President Donald Trump are incorrigible moral monsters.

The White House needs a loyal dog, a mischievous but loveable cat or what the hell even a hamster, to counter the evil of the people who live and work there.

Trump has given no indication that he is going to bring a pet with him. None of the lap dogs in his Cabinet qualify as pets, and I would not want to be anywhere near the vicinity of this pet-free infernal building.

Taliban Bans Windows So Women Can’t Be Seen

“The Taliban has banned windows in residential buildings to stop women from being seen while they are at home in Afghanistan.

‘Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts.’”

Independent

The Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Islam and Judaism, are inherently patriarchic and misogynist by design.

Since seizing power in 2021 the Taliban has declared war on women, blocking them from the workplace, education, and public places. Women are prohibited from singing or reading aloud.

Women are such a threat to the patriarchy that the Taliban seeks to render them invisible. The sight of a women collecting water from a well can lead men to commit “obscene acts.” Are they referring to masturbation; what a sexually repressive theocracy.

Christian fundamentalists are just as misogynist as Islamist fundamentalists. Many evangelical churches cite 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35 as justification from banning women from leadership positions in the church:  

“As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.”

The mere sight of a woman is a threat to the established order in the Taliban’s Afghanistan and Trump’s America.

Religious zealots can board up every window in every building but they can’t make women disappear.

Because Trump, My Annual List of New Year’s Resolutions Postponed

New Year’s resolutions are goals individuals make to improve their family life, career prospects, spiritual growth and civic engagement.

This annual tradition is predicated on possessing a measure of optimism about the future.

But a person staring at the abyss, contemplating living the next four under the reign of a raging sociopath, afflicted with dementia and whose agenda is chaos, isn’t going to have any damn New Year’s resolutions.

So, for the first time in decades, I will not post my annual list of New Year’s resolutions.

Only lunatics or a mentally challenged persons would have the audacity to post a list of goals to improve their lives when the writing is on the wall that our democracy will devolve into a fascist Christian nationalist dystopia.

My annual list of New Year’s resolutions is postponed until the Almighty acts like a vengeful and bloodthirsty Old Testament deity again and smites Donald Trump with a terminal case of brain cancer and gonorrhea.

Happy New Year!

Why is Trump Teasing Takeovers of Greenland and the Panama Canal?

Donald Trump shares a trait common with most dictators, a compulsion to expand the territory of their country. He has expressed a desire to take control of the Panama Canal, to purchase Greenland and he even joked about making Canada the 51st state.

Authoritarian leaders invent bogus reasons for expanding their borders, for example Putin falsely claimed De-Nazification of Ukraine as pretext for war.

Trump is falsely claiming that the Panama Canal and Greenland pose serious economic and national security threats to the USA.

Trump’s threat to buy Greenland is especially nonsensical given that it is a semiautonomous state owned by Denmark, a NATO member. Greenland no more poses a security threat to the United States than Jeffrey Epstein’s Lolita Island.

Maybe Trump, the former real estate developer, thinks that Greenland is a lush paradise where he can build golf courses, not realizing that contrary to the nation’s name, 80 percent of Greenland is covered in ice with only the southern portion being green.

Trump doesn’t have any real intentions to militarily take control of the Panama Canal, he is just trying to intimidate Panama to lower the fees it charges to use its namesake canal.

Trump is using his threats to take control of Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal to energize his base. On Truth Social, he posted an image of an American flag planted in the middle of the Panama Canal.

But the only thing he is accomplishing is making America a laughingstock in the world community.

History Will Remember Joe Biden as a Failure

President-elect Donald Trump takes up all the oxygen in the room, and President Joe Biden in the waning weeks and days of his term is starving for oxygen and relevance.

The besotted Biden can’t compete with Trump’s parade of chaotic and clownish cabinet nominees and the buffoonish billionaire grabs all the spotlight from every media outlet. Time Magazine’s Person of the Year might as well move into the White House already, and the forgotten man might as well move into a geriatric hospital.

Biden may not be gone yet, but he’s already forgotten, a much-reduced figurehead, a husk of his former self, a wisp of a man reduced by dementia and old age to a pathetic figure.

Biden’s arrogance and pride accelerated his downfall, if he has only kept his implicit promise that he would be a transitional figure and not run for reelection the fascist Trump would not have returned to power.

If Biden had only kept his explicit promise that he would not pardon his degenerate son who was justly convicted of tax and gun offenses brought by his own Justice Department, the last days of his administration would not be marked by pessimism, regret and frustration.

The last chapter of Biden’s public career will be to attend the inauguration of a despot who will reverse all the accomplishments of his administration and destroy all the underpinnings of our democracy.

Goodbye Joe Biden, you are forgotten by your contemporaries and history will remember you as an abject failure.
