Okay, come on. Shouldn’t SOMEBODY have explained this to him by now? He’s trying to convince the rubes that he’s the “affordability” President by insisting he brought down drug prices by (in his latest rant) “500%, 600%, 700%, and more.” The ONLY truth in his moronic post is that “No other President has been able to do this.”

HE insists health care prices are coming down while people across the land are opening up envelopes to their new, significantly increased health insurance costs. Sadly, it’s an open question as to whether MAGA is going to believe the lying words spewing from his lying mouth, or the paper right in front of their noses…

Remember Sgt Schultz? He was a character in an old comedy show called ‘Hogan’s Heroes,’ set in a German prison camp during WWII, back when Americans didn’t like Fascism. He often said, “I know nothing! I see nothing!” That’s who I think of when Donny tosses out yet another, “I didn’t know about that.”

In view of what seems obvious diminished capacity, though, I’m starting to believe old Donny when he says he knows nothing of this thing or that thing. And he says it a LOT. He says it so much, I have an impression that he isn’t involved with any of the “Presidentin'” stuff any too much. He likes the pageantry parts. He’s not much into the work parts. Those parts are boring and there are no cameras.

So when his answer to Whiskey Pete murdering two survivors of an initial, illegal, murderous attack on a boat was, “I hadn’t heard about that,” I thought, “Well, possible.” I believe him because we hear it too often for it to be just an excuse. He “didn’t know” about Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer after she said helpful things about his raping-girls-with-Epstein problem. He claimed he didn’t know about payments to Stormy Daniels before being convicted for payments to Stormy Daniels.

He claims not to know things so often, many people are referring to his evil regime as the “I don’t know” Presidency. It kind of makes me wonder just who the hell is running the show right now. I suspect the answer is the Heritage Foundation, the authors of Project 2025, which Donny also claimed to know nothing about but then started implementing, as instructed. Donny’s too demented to get into anything more serious than what color the tablecloths in his new ballroom should be.

I have a similar example in my life. My father shuffled off his mortal coil before HIS father did. The thing is, my grandfather was so deeply into the throes of senility by then, the family decided not to tell my grandfather that my father had died. The hitch, you see, is that first, they would have had to remind him of who my father was. I suspect that’s how Team Evil is handling Donny – AND why…

Hey, speaking of Hegseth murdering people with a so-far unsubstantiated claim of “drug runner,” Donny has now promised to pardon a guy, Juan Orlando Hernández, who ran hundreds of pounds of cocaine into the US. An investigation was held. The man was arrested. A trial was held. Evidence was presented. He had a chance to refute that evidence. He was convicted by a jury of twelve. He was sentenced to 42 years in prison.

We’re told that despite all of the evidence against Hernández, Donny’s gut told him something different, no evidence required. I suspect it was Donny’s wallet that told him something different. But when Donny was asked about it? “They said” it was a Biden set-up, that was all he knew. It seems relevant that the guys in the boats never even get the chance to bribe him and probably don’t have the resources in the first place. But if you’ve got the money…

And it IS possible to manipulate such a deeply, deeply uninformed person. It’s actually kind of easy. He doesn’t have enough information of his own – nor interest, sadly – to make a decent decision. They tell him what he wants to hear. I think it always starts with how pretty he is today, then, for example, “Look what Biden did!” The Drumpfster is so triggered by all things Biden – it’s his BBS, or ‘Blame Biden Syndrome’ – he’ll automatically do the opposite.

He pardoned a guy named Ross Ulbricht, too. Remember him? He’s the guy who founded an illegal drug market called ‘the Silk Road.’ At least he didn’t claim ignorance on that one. He just showed it. Ulbricht received his pardon because he was convicted under Biden. That’s it. BBS, you know. Word is, Ulbricht was convicted after moving over $200 million dollars of illegal drugs.

Donny murders unknowns in the Caribbean, ostensibly to fight drug dealing, and lets known drug dealers run free in America. Donny ALSO sends the National Guard into Chicago to fight a crime wave his delusions have convinced him must be real. ALSO, Donny commutes the sentence of Larry Hoover. Who’s Larry Hoover, you ask? According to Ron Safer, a former U.S. attorney in Chicago, Hoover was the leader of a gang called ‘Gangster Disciples.’

Safer points out that Hoover’s gang was one of the largest and most violent drug syndicates in the U.S. Hoover was convicted of state and federal charges including murder and use of a firearm while trafficking drugs. “Larry Hoover was the head of perhaps the most pernicious, efficient drug operation in the United States,” Safer said. “They sold over $100 million of drugs a year in the city of Chicago alone. They were responsible for countless murders. They supported their drug territories with ruthless violence.”

Frankly, Donny has been SO friendly to drug dealers through the years, it kind of causes me to wonder if there’s something else about Venezuela, some unknown, unknowable draw that compels him to invade Venezuela. Something it’s hard to put one’s finger on. It’s a dark reason, a buried reason. Some slippery, dark, liquid reason. If only I could see (oil) the hidden secret (oil) that might cause the US (oil) to invade a foreign sovereign nation (oil) without provocation (oil). Nope. It’s a complete mystery…

The last time the Forty-Niners (9-4) beat the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland, Joe Montana was their Quarterback. They went on to win the Stupid Bowl. I doubt THIS team will do what THAT team did, but hope springs eternal. The Niners are beat to hell but they keep playing. True, they’re playing teams that are struggling this year, but they’re winning games they should win.

The team gets a bye this next week to rest and recuperate, with Tennessee after that. At 1-11, Tennessee is struggling, too. The Niners should pull off a win there. After that? Ouch. They face the Colts (8-4), the Bears (9-3), and the Seahawks (9-3). Those last three games are the real test. The Niners need to beat good teams if they’re going to compete in the playoffs. Any one of those last three, preferably more, would be a good start…
