On Thursday, I posted this: “The dumbass is forever claiming that he talked with this hidden person or that unnamed group and got exactly the answers – and support – he wants. Then when asked for the identities of the people or groups involved always, always, ALWAYS says, “I’m not going to tell you that.”

I’m starting to suspect he might be making stuff up…”

I wrote that because Donny had claimed he had spoken to “one of our ex-Presidents.” He said the unnamed ex-President told him he thought the war was a great idea and that said unnamed ex-President wished HE had done the same. “There,” Donny thought, “Now they’ll think it was good idea.” The press asked him which ex-President and that’s when Donny whipped out his, “I’m not going to tell you that” lie, er, line.

It’s weird he does stuff like that. I mean, the press knows where ALL of the living ex-Presidents are. I assume the trumpster was referring to a living ex-President. So did the press, so they went to each of the living ex-Presidents and asked if they had spoken to any Dumbasses recently. They ALL said no.

It was such an easy lie to debunk. He just pitches stuff out there and expects people to believe him based on, what, his long record of honesty? But, see, MAGA won’t check. His claim that he talked to an ex-President who approved of the action will be put on a loop and broadcast into MAGA minds all day. MAGA media will, simply, not mention the fact-check. After a couple of days of that, MAGA will wholeheartedly approve of his illegal war…

Speaking of which, Donny has now said that he’s thinking about ‘winding down’ his war. Well, awesome. Quick question: do you think Israel is ready to wind down, too? Do you expect Iran to just… accept that it’s time to ‘wind down’ their response to your illegal attack? I won’t spend too much time on those questions, since The Felon is ALSO saying it’s time for American boots on the ground.

So to recap, we’ve won, we’re winning, and we’re about to win. We’re done so we’re leaving but there’s more to do so we’re putting boots on the ground. Iran’s military capability is decimated but we need help in the Strait of Hormuz because of all that military capability Iran is bringing, and the whole thing started in the first place because we had to stop them from getting a bomb we stopped them from getting six months ago.

Pick a preference. Donny has proclaimed it so you can choose that statement from his word salad and feel comforted. But Donny has said everything, which means nothing…

Since stealing his way back into office, trump has been working overtime to hook the US on fossil fuels again and move away from renewables and electric vehicles (EVs). At least, that’s what he has said. But I can’t think of a better way to encourage people to buy EVs or install solar panels than raising the cost of a gallon of gas to $7 dollars or a barrel of oil to $200 dollars. I know people who have already traded in their gas cars for hybrids or EVs.

Now if we can just get the powers that be to allow the sale of Chinese EVs in the US. Word is, they’re better than other EVs in just about every way. Capitalism being what it is, that’s a better mousetrap, right? The world wants to beat a path to China’s EV door. So, Capitalism being what it is, tariffs keep Chinese EVs out of the US pretty much entirely.

Competition in markets is good, right? Well, unless the competition is good. Quality competition is, it appears, problematic and “unfair.” Capitalism being what it is…

The World Happiness Report was released! I’ve been waiting and waiting. The happiest country on Earth? For the Ninth year running? Finland. The least happy is Afghanistan. The US ranked 23rd. I suspect our ranking is a bit high, these days. I don’t know ANYBODY who’s happy. Yeah, sure, we all have happy moments or even good days, but, overall? People aren’t happy right now…

Remember the kerfuffle over 47 going to the dignified transfer of remains wearing a baseball cap? It turns out, when it comes to disrespecting fallen soldiers, that was nothing. He used photos of himself at the dignified transfer wearing his baseball cap in a fundraising message.

That seems kind of counter-intuitive, to me. He’s asking for money using imagery around American soldiers HE got killed by his own stupid actions. How is that NOT, “Send me money and I’ll give you more of this?” So, have at it, MAGA. Send your money AND your children. Donny sure as hell ain’t sending his…

Alright, Fetterman, your cover is blown. You might as well fess up, officially switch to Team Evil, and announce your MAGA loyalties. I shouldn’t be surprised. Fetterman has had several heart attacks. Heart attacks often affect the brain. Brain damage is a key element of MAGA. But he ought to stop hiding behind the ‘D’ after his name and claim his true loyalty, ‘T.’ I hope Pennsylvania will vote in a Democrat soon…

Yes, this war IS a distraction, but none of us have forgotten that Donald Trump and Jeffery Epstein were best friends, and likely in cahoots in a sex-trafficking ring, for years. There’s LOTS of evidence in the files – even as Team Evil tries to hide any evidence that implicates 47. Now there are even suggestions of bodies being buried at Epstein’s old ranch. Nothing has been proven, yet, so bear that in mind.

But it turns out, the DOJ wanted to search that ranch based on charges and evidence before. Guess who intervened to stop that from happening? No, go ahead, guess. You’ll never– Oh, yeah, that’s right, Donald Trump. It was 2019. New Mexico was looking into Zorro Ranch, Epstein’s ranch nicknamed “Playboy Ranch” among the locals. Trump’s DOJ demanded the case be handed to the Feds, then shut the case down.

There are several whispers of odd deaths around the trumpster through the years. Nothing proven, of course. But even with his first wife, Ivana, there are whispers. Now, I remember the ‘Clintons killed all these people’ scam so I’m very aware of how easy it is to whisper. I’ve mostly ignored those charges as noise until now. But now?

I’ve wondered why the now-women in the sex trafficking ring don’t just come out publicly and start naming names. But if ‘death’ is a real possibility for them if they talk, I can see wanting to remain in the shadows. Even with strength in numbers, there might be a risk. DID Virginia Giuffre commit suicide?

So anyway, New Mexico is searching the Zorro Ranch property. People can whisper and point fingers and make suggestions, assertions, and outright accusations all they want to, but authorities aren’t going to expend precious resources on gossip. Something has them interested in taking a closer look. I’m not saying guilty or not guilty. The facts get to determine that, not me.

But it’s just weird, isn’t it? At every turn, if at all possible, Donald Trump has been impeding and/or blocking this investigation going back years, now. He made special arrangements to ensure one of his co-conspirators, Ghislaine, is more comfortable in prison for her part in the scheme. His other one-time best friend and likely partner died under mysterious circumstances and can no longer squeal.

It begs the question: why would Donald Trump work SO hard to quell an investigation into a crime that he insists doesn’t touch him at all? If he’s not doing that with EVERY investigation, why the attention on this one? What is Trump’s connection with this case that makes him so determined to make sure the facts never see the light of day? Why would an innocent man do that? Inquiring minds want to know…
