Our so-called border czar, Tom Homan, allegedly took a bribe for $50,000 to steer contracts to the briber. It came from an undercover FBI agent and it was filmed. An investigation was launched, then squelched by Team Evil. Now the official word is, Homan did nothing wrong. Yeah? Release THAT tape when you release the Epstein Files, would you? Could you? Go ahead, I dare you.

That’s the problem with having a criminal like 47 running the show. He doesn’t know right from wrong. More likely, he just doesn’t care. But I’m of the opinion that taking bribes is wrong…

We now return you once again to our regularly scheduled daytime fun show, ‘Who’s fault is it THIS time?’ Yes, ‘Who’s fault is it this time?’ the game show where two teams try to convince the world the government shutdown is the other team’s fault. Both teams have strong showings this round as Team Useless blames Team Evil for eliminating billions in health care coverage for millions of families and demands the return of the money.

Meanwhile, Team Evil clearly intends to rely on it’s proven response strategy of, “Nah-uh!” with a side of “I know you are, but what am I?” It has been a startlingly successful strategy so far and there’s no reason to change so long as it’s working, right? Team Evil has the advantage in this battle for perception, having a deep bench of media outlets to repeat anything they’re told thousands of times a day.

Team Useless has been less open about their strategy but based on past events, one might guess a strongly worded letter is in order. Meanwhile, work-a-day Joes, average Americans, and MAGA will all suffer as the government shutters once again. It’ll probably be great for our credit rating as a nation, too. “Hey, maybe we’ll pay our bills, maybe we won’t. Deal with it.” Yeah, creditors love stuff like that.

It really sucks to be an American, these days. I’d guess it sucks to be MAGA, too. The One Percent have taken the gloves off and the rest of us stand ready to get pummeled. If the vast majority of this once-great nation can’t figure out how to defend ourselves and figure it out quickly, we should expect to be beaten, battered, and bloodied by the group that sees the masses as parasites and problems.

Perhaps this time, when they shut down the government, we, the people, should take the next step, take a cue from France, and shut down the whole effing country. Regardless of the stories they tell, they need us more than we need them…

Team Evil took money from you. Now they’re going to give it to Argentina. Argentina’s economy is a mess and has been for a long time. Their newest President, Javier Milier, was elected promising a different approach and he brought it. It was slash and burn to spending, very similar to Donny’s DOGE cuts. It cut inflation dramatically.

Of course, it also shoved more than half of Argentina’s population into extreme poverty. Nearly 60% of Argentinian children live in poverty now, with the overall rate in the population hovering around 50%. The rich are doing okay, though, so, there’s that. Donny’s going to send $20 billion of the dollars he took from you to Argentina in an effort to prop up those rich people a little while longer. This whole thing is a crisis in progress so we’ll all just have to wait to see how it plays out…

I really do NOT like this euphemism, “extra-judicial killings.” Those are murders, straight up. The Drumpfster didn’t “engage in extra-judicial killings” when he attacked two different boats off the coast of Venezuela, killing everyone on board. That was murder, pure and simple.

And while we’re on the topic of fact-hiding euphemisms, 47 does not rack up “wins” in his corrupt courts. He gets a rubber stamp. A “win” implies there was some contest. A “win” implies the possibility of a loss. It was a brilliant move to corrupt the higher courts, leaving the lower courts pretty much alone. The lower courts rule according to the law. Then, a corrupted higher court overturns the lower court’s proper ruling and 47 gets his rubber stamp. But it’s not a “win,” it’s corruption. It’s a predetermined outcome as we slide further and further away from our Constitutional Republic…

There was a shooting at an ICE facility. Officially, the word is there was an anti-ICE message written on one of the bullet casings. The only people shot in the attack were detainees, not ICEholes. Why would someone write anti-ICE messages on bullet casings, then go out and shoot the victims of ICE actions and not the ICEholes? (No, I’m NOT suggesting shooting ICEholes, so stuff it.)

Details are still coming out, of course, and it has become a great American pass-time trying to discern if the latest shooter is on the left or the right, though they are FAR more commonly from the right so it’s a little easier on the left. I’ve heard he was radicalized on 4chan, once a bastion of political incorrectness, and a staging ground for incel culture, white-power groups, mass-shooting manifestos. 4chan is now one among many platforms, like Truth Social and Parlor, just as conducive to hate speech.

But the right really, really wants – no, needs – this guy to be a leftist. Donny wanted to issue a new authoritarian order cracking down on “leftist violence” and all of this right-wing violence is making is difficult for him to make his lying case, so someone with a little authority on Team Evil told some stooge to go out and stage the scene by writing an anti-ICE message on the bullet casings and taking a photo.

Being the Einstein he clearly is, the stooge just wrote ‘Anti ICE’ on the bullet casing. Then the official story is that authorities found a bullet casing with “anti ICE messages etched into the casing.” Well, it wasn’t “etched,” it was written with what could be a Sharpie. And the “anti ICE message?” Well, that was just, straight up “Anti-ICE.” Of course it was. Who doesn’t convey their anti-ICE sentiments by simply saying “Anti-ICE?” Why would anyone say, “Screw ICE!” or “ICE is bad!” when they can say, “Anti-ICE?”

If it feels like I’m not buying the whole “leftist shooter” story, that’s because I’m not buying the whole “leftist shooter” story. ANYBODY can write “Anti-ICE” on a bullet casing, right? I wonder who did…
