KKKarolyin’ Leavitt is only twenty-eight years old. To be so young and to have so thoroughly destroyed her name for all time already. Quite an accomplishment. But apparently, she’s done with the self-harm for a while and she’s leaving the regime to go spend time with her family. She DID just have a baby.

The press is focused on who will do the job now. They suggest that with only three months before the midterms, it might be tough to find someone who can lie so easily and so effectively and get him or her up to speed in time. A child could do the job. Hell, a child HAS been doing the job. “Trump is perfect in every way and anybody who says otherwise is just stupid.” See? All you have to be is completely amoral and willing to lie with every breath. Apparently, if you wear a cross, Jesus might not even mind all of that bearing of false witness one does. At least, that seems to be the hope.

Donald Trump attracts amoral and immoral people like light attract moths. Finding some new scum-sucking liar within the ranks should be a pretty straight-forward effort. Maybe 47 can get Fox’s Tomi Lehren to do the job. She’s blond. She’s loyal. She’s happy to lie. She’s comfortable in front of cameras. At thirty-four, she IS a little old for 47. It’s just a suggestion. He probably has some even scummier person in mind already…

I saw a bit in the press on Thursday that said our fearful misleader would be in Washington all day. Word was, he was participating in private meetings that would be closed to the press all day. Based on everything I know about 47, that means he’s going to spend the day watching TV and hiding in the residence. With all of this news about him fleeing his plane while leaving his staff and the press pool behind as bait, I can see it. He doesn’t want to have to answer questions about it.

Never forget, the Drumpfs changed their family name to Trump after Grandpa Drumpf (Frederick) – who made the family fortune trafficking women in the Klondike – was banished in disgrace from Germany for refusing his required military service. It set a precedent. Drumpfs or Trumps are STILL running away to this day…

Just to touch base on it, the budget deficit for 2026, so far, is $1.8 trillion dollars. Yet another promise made, promise not kept by the Drumpfster. The thing is, he cut billions of dollars of services to the American people and the world in general. His random and not-thought-out cuts have killed thousands of people across the globe and promise to kill even more. Every time I turn around, he’s cutting some other service to the people.

So where is all of the money going? His war-that’s-not-a-war? That seems awfully expensive. I suspect the money is flowing freely into his pockets and the pockets of his cronies. I mean, why do YOU think those no-moral morons stay so loyal to him? Those are American citizen tax dollars, from the left AND the right. THAT’S why no more health care? He’s killing you to take your money? $1.8 trillion dollars. So far. It’s only August…

The music industry is working very hard to increase interest in local, live music. No, they don’t KNOW they’re working so hard to increase interest in local, live music. They just think they’re maximizing revenues by eliminating human beings in the music manufacturing process. More and more AI slop is polluting the mainstream airwaves and it isn’t very good.

“So what?” say the industry leaders. “It’s cheap to produce and we don’t have to coddle any Prima Donnas.” Yeah, but it isn’t very good. More accurately, it’s crap. Because it’s cheap, the industry will continue to foist it on us, like it or not. Because we don’t like it, the industry will start to lose revenues. Crap product equals crap return, right? Then we’ll hear a bunch of hand-wringing entreaties, “Oh, no one buys music anymore.” “Why are they canceling their streaming services?” “What’s wrong with people?”

People will be out at the clubs and other places where they can still hear actual music, performed by actual people. The music will be people-generated. Some of it will be bad, of course. Much of it will be good. Some of it will be VERY good. But we’ll have to find it ourselves. The industry is going to press in on the cheapest option, whether that’s a good option or not…

The jobs number was revised down for June by 37,000. The jobs number was revised down for May by 66,000. 103,000 FEWER jobs than originally reported. Kevin Hassett – or should that be Kevin Asshat? – said – and he really said this – if you don’t count the number of people who lost jobs, jobs are actually up! Well, sure. It turns out, that’s not the first time Republicans have massaged the number that way.

Evil Ronald, the Reagan, did the same thing. His team decided to count military members as employed but did NOT count the military jobs they do as available jobs. That artificially boosted jobs numbers. But it was a lie then and it’s an effing lie now. Trump is harming America and Americans…

Our fearful misleader is trying yet another tack to get his name on the Kennedy center, one of his inexplicable obsessions. He stuffed the board with loyalist toadies who voted to renovate the center and put his name on it. The problem was, only Congress can change the name, so his name was removed. Now he’s moving forward with his plan to renovate the place, and that leaves him with the opportunity to put an inscription under the center’s official name that reads, “Restored and Renovated by President (sic) Donald J. Trump.” That will, I presume, very helpfully show people where, exactly, to spit.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think he should be spending a lot MORE time trying to end his illegal war of choice in which he’s bankrupting the nation and squandering strategic weapons stockpiles and maybe LESS time on his interior decorating passion. So far, most of his projects have fallen flat. Either the efforts fail entirely, like the Reflecting Pool, get blocked because they’re illegal, or they look cheap and tawdry. Your war, Dumbass. Focus on ending your war…
