Have you ever seen a juggler doing the spinning plate trick? You know the one. The performer sets a plate on a long stick and spins it, balancing the plate on the stick. Then, the performer sets up a second one. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then they run back and spin the first one again, keeping it in action. How many plates can they spin before they can’t maintain it anymore? It’s pretty exciting, watching the plates, waiting for them to fall.

That’s how I feel, watching Donny’s Team Evil trying to spin so many lies at the same time. They’re just flying from story to story, trying to keep the spin going. I have to confess, they’ve done pretty well, so far. But it looks like some of the plates might be getting close to falling. I think the first one to go will be this health insurance subsidy fight.

During the Spring, when Chuck Schumer rolled over and signed off on the Continuing Resolution to keep the government open, people on the left were furious with him. We suggested he sold out. But old Chucky had a plan and it is proving a good one.

See, Schumer understood he had no leverage at the time. A shut-down battle, then, would have been nothing but a debate on philosophy. With no tangible results, it would have been easy for the GOP to do what they do best: lie. By the time the rank-and-file discovered the lie, it would be too late. So Schumer signed off then, moving the fight to now.

You see, the GOP went with their standard practice. The lies started flowing right away. Their official position is that the truth always hurts their “official position” so they avoid truth like a bad neighborhood. “The GOP is the party working to protect your health care. WE want to fix it. The mean old Dems won’t let us.” For their part, Dems are pointing out that everyone’s insurance premiums are about to shoot through the roof.

Payments are going to go up hundreds and hundreds of dollars, leaving millions out in the cold. Cons lie that they have until January 1 to address the problem, and they swear on everything they hold dear (they hold nothing dear) that they really, really want to fix it, just not now. Dems are pointing out that this has to happen now, before November 1 because November 1 is when the open enrollment of the exchanges starts. If it’s not settled by then, the higher premiums take hold.

“NOT TRUE!” shout the lying liars of the GOP. “YES, TRUE!” say the notices coming out from the insurance companies to customers telling them of increases of hundreds and hundreds of dollars in their premiums. Essentially, Schumer took the Dems out of the conversation. The GOP says one thing, the notices of increase from the insurance companies say something else. MAGA can pretend the GOP is telling the truth all they want to, but they’re going to pay the higher premiums or, more likely, lose their health insurance.

The GOP is having trouble getting their lie to stick, what with all of those actual increase notices going out. And it’s not the Dems sending the notices, it’s the health insurance companies. Every day, it gets a little more clear – even to MAGA – that the GOP is lying. That particular plate is looking pretty wobbly…

One of the plates the GOP spun was in the Big Ugly Bill, when the GOP stole $140 billion dollars from rural hospitals. Rural hospitals warned they would close as a result. The GOP restored $50 billion dollars of the $140 billion they stole originally and declared “problem solved!”

Now? Rural hospitals have started closing due to inadequate funding. The stories are the stories and the lies are the lies but reality doesn’t give two figs about stories and lies. Reality just keeps being real. This one seems like a plate that has actually fallen. Rural hospitals are closing. They will be very difficult to re-open. Huge swaths of this once-great nation will become health care deserts. Thanks, GOP. I’m sure that’s what people were voting for when they voted for you…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of the plates they’re most worried about is, obviously, the Epstein files. MAGA Mike, the Johnson STILL has the House in recess. So far, it’s all he can think of to stop the Massie petition to release the Epstein files from coming to the floor. If the cons come back, they’ll have to swear in the new Democrat, Adelita Grijalva.

She signs off as the 218th signature on the petition, the release of the files comes to the House floor, and everybody – everybody – even MAGA, gets to watch the GOP protect the pervert millionaires and billionaires – who count it among their “special privileges” to have sex with minors – by voting down the release. Another plate, crashing to the ground…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Qatari military base? Here, in America? Honestly, I can’t wrap my arms around that. I wonder what brought it on? Do you think it’s the new golf course bribe Donny gets in Qatar? Was it the $400 million dollar bribe plane? The “investment” bribe into Jared Kushner’s firm might have been relevant. Perhaps it was just input from one-time Qatari employees, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

In 2017, Donny declared Qatar “funders of terrorism.” Suddenly, they’ve turned into financiers of his personal comfort. So we’ve switched from the terrorist watch list to “How about a military base in the US?” We’re being told the base will be controlled by the US. It won’t be a “foreign” military base. It will just be a normal military base staffed with foreigners. Totally different. No, they’re calling it a “training facility.” In Idaho.

I’m not the only one irritated by this particular spinning plate. MAGA is angry about it, too. On this one, MAGA and I agree: foreign military forces shouldn’t be allowed to establish facilities in the US, most especially when said foreign military has such deep ties to Hamas…

Donny “stopped by” Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday. He had his second “annual” physical. He had his first annual physical in April. Doesn’t EVERYONE have two “annual” physicals a year? Listen, I get it. Donny has some kind of physical ailment going on. We’ve all seen the droopy face. No, every American has seen the droopy face. MAGA was “protected” from the information.

Many suspected a stroke. I can’t say it wasn’t a stroke, but the droopy face was better the next day, and I don’t think stroke victims recover so quickly. I suspect it was Bells Palsy. Full disclosure: I’m no doctor and I don’t even play one on TV. I’m completely unqualified to make any kind of medical diagnosis and my medical opinion isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s my opinion…

Still, I don’t think one needs to be a doctor to see that something is wrong with the guy. There was the droopy face thing. His speeches are always rambling, difficult-to-follow affairs but they have somehow become even MORE disoriented recently. He’s not moving the same as he used to. We saw what were suspected to be urine collection bags around his legs. His cankles. There’s a LOT. (No sign of ear damage, though, since he was never shot.)

Of course, we received a glowing report about how healthy he is. That’s the same result reported for his April annual health check up AND his followup health check in July, after which it was reported he was in excellent health for a guy with chronic venous insufficiency. We ALSO learned that while Donny is steering the Deceived away from vaccines, especially, the Covid vaccine, HE is accepting the Covid vaccine AND the flu vaccine. “Suffer, bitches!” I guess.

So we can look at the guy and see something is wrong but we’re told he’s in excellent health. Uh-huh. In fairness, no political party is going to publicize that their guy is failing fast. But Donny’s an old man. When we can look at him and see the effects of aging, that’s a tough sell. When I hear that he’s in perfect health, six feet six inches tall, and 210 pounds, I don’t believe it. He looks MUCH fatter, shorter, and far less healthy.

A MAGA friend of mine insists Donny is in great health because he plays 18, sometimes 36, holes of golf on a regular basis. Uh-huh. IF he was toting a golf bag around the course and walking from hole to hole, maybe. But Donny doesn’t walk the course. He drives it in a golf cart. Being the lazy miscreant he is, he’s figured out a way to “get some exercise” without ever risking any of that nasty exercise…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, yet another trump ally has been arrested on charges of child sexual abuse. His name is Robert Morris. THIS guy was Donny’s “spiritual advisor.” Holy gods, does that make sense. I won’t say sexual impropriety is a requirement to work for Donny, but it does seem to be a leg up. AM I being hyperbolic? Let’s look, shall we?

It’s important to remember, these are allegations. Of course, these are also rich and powerful people with the ability to silence criticism and/or buy off victims. So who among trump’s team stand accused? Elon Musk, Matt Gaetz (remember him?), Pete Hegseth, and Robert Kennedy, Jr. Hell, there’s even a woman accused of facilitating child sexual abuse, Linda McMahon. Those don’t even include his other “team” of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

And now Robert Morris. Morris is trying to act contrite. He has called it a consensual affair in which the “young lady” seduced him. Just kind of standard pervert b.s., really. He describes it as just “kissing and petting, not intercourse.” To cover his bases, he threw in a “…but it was wrong” at the end, there. Jeez, you think? She was twelve. He just couldn’t resist that hot little twelve year old when she seduced him. It’s people like him that make me wish I could believe in hell, you know?

He wants credit. He thinks he deserves applause for pleading guilty. “Oh,” say his people, “he’s taking responsibility.” Is he? He was sentenced to 10 years for his crime, but he only has to serve six months. I may have put my finger on a reason why so many perverts feel free to assault girls. Six months? SHE has to carry the burden of his choices for the rest of her life. That seems like a more appropriate sentence for the perpetrator, as well, yes? No, I wouldn’t want to go to prison, either. Not even for six months. But six months isn’t enough time to serve for doing what he did…

Holy crap, Stephan Miller went on a talk show and said, out loud, that the President has “plenary authority.” That’s a word worth looking up, plenary. It means, “Complete in all respects; unlimited or full,” and “Full; entire; complete; absolute.” Then he shut his stupid mouth and stood statue still, pretending technology had failed him.

The truth is, he messed up. He said the quiet part out loud. He realized his mistake, didn’t know how to get out of it, and dropped into hibernation mode as a dodge, like an opossum. According to the Constitution of the United States of America, the President does NOT have “plenary authority.” But a dictator would, so long as we’re no longer troubled by that pesky Constitution…

I watched bits of the Pam Bondi evasion dance in front of a Congressional committee the other day. She bobbed and weaved. She sneered. She pitched insults and whined about being insulted. She did everything except answer questions. For that, I give her the win. She didn’t WANT to answer questions and she didn’t answer questions. Remember, the regime doesn’t need to “win.” They need only to NOT lose. She made a fool of herself, but they never laid a glove on her.

It struck me that she was acting like a petulant teenager. Then I realized that’s pretty much the strategy of ALL of Team Evil. THEN I realized that the best way to respond to these children is the exact same way I would respond to my own petulant teenager. I didn’t back down from them when they whined, “Don’t call me a liar!” I said, “Well, you’d have to stop lying, first.” I think that’s the way Americans need to handle these usurpers. Straight up, in your face, exactly the same way one would with any brat of a child…

If I had been sitting on that committee, my first question would have been, “AG Bondi, do you know anything?” because she spent a great deal of time claiming she saw nothing, she hears nothing, she knows nothing. Either that, or she deflected to Kash Patel, her subordinate who, apparently, is doing all kinds of things without her knowledge or permission. But even being seen as an unqualified, out-of-touch supervisor is better than answering a question honestly from these guys…

Aw, crap. Do you know what today is? It’s the first Monday in October. That means the Roberts Supremely Corrupt, Kangaroo Court re-convenes and starts issuing more of those “transformative rulings” they’ve been making. When it comes to these guys, “transformative” is a euphemism for “bullshit…”

“His city is a war zone and he’s lying so that criminals can go in there and destroy people’s lives.” (I added the emphasis.) That’s a claim by dog-killer Kristi Noem, and it’s a dumb one. Just think about it for one second. Noem is claiming that the mayor of Chicago, Illinois, Brandon Johnson, WANTS criminals in his city to destroy people’s lives. IF that makes sense to you, you probably require constant supervision.

Mayors don’t want crime in their cities. There are probably some who oppose crime unless they, themselves, are the beneficiaries of the crime, but most mayors are not beneficiaries of street crime. Noem insisted on Fox Not-News that residents supported the government intervention. I’d guess that if you beat the bushes hard enough, you might find a handful that do. But millions, billions, and kajillions do not. (Hey, this ‘making-up-numbers-as-you-go-along’ thing, like the cons do, is kinda fun!) Kajillions. Who knew?

Meanwhile, US District Judge Karin Immergut, (a Trump appointee, no less) has temporarily blocked deployment of any national guard troops to Oregon. The judge seems to be using the logic that saying a city is a war zone does not, in fact, render the city a war zone. It turns out, a couple of hippies standing around with protest signs in front of ICEhole headquarters doesn’t constitute a war zone…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of protests, I saw a group of Jews, led by a couple of Rabbis, marching in protest against the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza. It’s going to be quite the laugh when the morons in the White House try to label this group anti-Semitic…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey, I learned a new word today. Despite all of the chaos going on around us, now is probably a good time to remember that Donald Trump was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein for something like fifteen years. The evidence is still sketchy but from what I can see, Donny didn’t just participate with Jeffrey as a “beneficiary” of the child sex trafficking, he was part of the scheme.

Since the whole goal was to have sex with girls under the age of eighteen, everybody has been calling 47 a pedophile. It’s the word we know. It turns out, Donny is more likely an Epheophile. Ephebophilia is the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. That sounds more like his preferred target group, mid-to-late adolescents…

Last week, Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-Penn.) cornered MAGA Mike the Johnson in a hallway and this exchange took place:
Dean: “The President is unhinged.”
Johnson: “A lot of folks on your side are, too. I don’t control him.”
Dean: “Oh, my God, please. That performance in front of the generals…”
Johnson: “I didn’t see it.”

“A lot of folks on your side are, too,” is Whataboutism that accidentally tells the truth. MAGA Mike knows the President’s (or in this case, The First Felon’s) mind isn’t working right. He doesn’t care. Then he tries to dismiss the insanity during the speech to the assembled generals with a blithe, “I didn’t see it?” Well you should have, Mike. You should be paying very close attention to what your madman is doing.

You might have heard when he mentioned to a reporter, later, that he’ll be largely protected by his corrupt court’s immunity ruling – but you won’t, Mike. Clearly, you’re protecting him, but are you protecting yourself, Mike? He thinks about himself and his future. You might want to give a little thought to your own, Mike. History WILL remember your name…

Ah, yes, about the shutdown. Democrats are fighting for the return of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies that help people pay skyrocketing premiums for health insurance. The cons are just, “No.” Well, that’s not right. They DO have their lie, “Dems want to give health care to illegals.” But they KNOW that’s a lie. They know the Dems aren’t trying to give health insurance to illegals.

Besides, undocumented people CAN get health care and they do – at hospital emergency rooms where it’s illegal to turn anybody away, and for vastly more expensive care. Sure, it’s stupid but the cons are in charge so “stupid” is the order of the day.

So, here’s the catch about this shutdown. Let’s pretend the cons suddenly, for some reason, decide to get reasonable and do the right thing and return the subsidies. Now the left and the right have a deal in place and the legislation passes. How does one stop the grifter in the White House from just stealing the money, instead?

Despite the actual words written in the actual US Constitution, the way-high court has decided the Constitution is quaint, but not intended to constrain the worst impulses of his troubled mind. They’ve decided that if 47 wants to withhold money Congress has approved, he should be able to do that. So even if Dems and cons come together on an agreement, how do they get 47 to honor the thing?

That’s always the challenge when one is dealing with con-men and grifters, isn’t it? When a person won’t honor an agreement, it’s like there’s no agreement at all…

“Why is FoxNews and Peter Doocy putting on Democratic Senator Mark Kelly to talk about, totally unabated or challenged, healthcare?”
“Fox should either get on board or get off board…”
“They refuse to put up polls that correctly show me at 65% in Popularity…”

Those are actual quotes posted on social media in one post, by one guy. I’ll just let you guess which one. “Totally unabated or challenged?” It sounds like he’s trying to use big words he doesn’t fully understand. “…get on board or get off board?” Yeah, that’s a thing people say, except that it isn’t. “65%” in Popularity? In what world? Which poll? I suspect it’s the “In Donny’s mind” poll. The only polls I see say his popularity hovers just above the MAGA line, 30-35%. Even at that, I’d say there are several MAGA, out there, who won’t confess doubt to pollsters, but will among themselves.

Speaking of which, I’ve learned something about life in Nazi Germany. The people DID know Hitler was a babbling buffoon and they, likely, DID say so to each other, in private. I base that on conversations I have with like-minded people about MAGA and Donny. It’s nice to get historical insights. I just wish it hadn’t come at the expense of the nation I loved…

Hey, remember when Donny swore up one side and down the other he knew nothing of Project 2025 and had absolutely, positively nothing to do with it, whatsoever? Yeah, he lied about that, too. Oh, I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

MAGA will tell you I’m misrepresenting what he meant or said, or in this case, posted. So let’s see, shall we? July 5, 2024, during the “election,” after details about Project 2025 started to be a thorn in his campaign trail side, our Fearful Misleader lied that he had, “no idea who is behind Project 2025.” He added, “some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal,” and that “anything they do, I wish them luck, but have nothing to do with them.”

So, that’s why MAGA believes what they believe. But the truth is, Project 2025 was put together by the evil Heritage Foundation, a conservative stink tank. It was primarily overseen by a guy named Russell Vought, a stink of a conservative. It has all kinds of mean and nasty things rich people want to do to everyone else. In fact, it came across as so mean and nasty, many people simply dismissed the threat. “What, do you think they can pull that off here? In the United States? Get real!” Okay.

Forty-eight percent. Donny has infested the Oval Office (this time) a little over nine months and the “baby” he’s birthing is a grotesque mockery of a decent government. Forty-eight percent of Project 2025 has been completed! In a little over nine months. By Donny and Team Evil. Implementing a program he claimed he had no idea about but now gleefully inflicts on Americans AND MAGA equally. (Only MAGA is surprised.)

In fact, between the evil he’s inflicting on the US in general, and the specific evils he’s visiting on those he considers political enemies, it’s hard to find a happier guy. He gets genuine joy, watching his “lessers” suffer. There’s a website, ‘The Project 2025 Tracker’ (click here). It counts 318 proposals. It lists 118 completed and 67 in progress.

Here’s a short list of some of the 67: End the Flores Settlement Agreement (which sets basic standards of care for immigrant children in custody), “downsize” the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, which focuses too much on “climate alarmism,” Direct the military to assist in building border wall, Ban “critical race theory” and “gender ideology” from public school curriculum, Repeal the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), Eliminate carbon capture utilization and storage programs, End taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood, Eliminate the HHS Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force and install a pro-life task force, Privatize TSA screening, Cut off DOJ grants to states/localities that do not cooperate with Trump’s immigration plans, Terminate the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, Eliminate DEIA programs in Labor policy, Close the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; treat the participation in any DEI initiative as per se grounds for termination, Repeal the Corporate Transparency Act, Require the FAA to “operate more like a business,” Weaken federal employee unions, Remove all unions in the Dept. of Homeland Security.

That’s a hell of a list – and I’ve only selected a choice few. There’s a LOT more stuff they want to do to you and NONE of it is going to benefit you or feel good to you. Much of it will do you direct harm. It’s an agenda built to benefit the One Percent, racists, misogynists, and men. If you’re not in one of those groups, well, it sucks to be you…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There’s another “in-progress” item on the evil Heritage Foundation’s to-do list: Reduce the corporate income tax rate. This one, in part, is why our dysfunctional government is currently mostly not functioning at all. Greed. Remember, greed kills.

See, in order to starve the government of the money it needs to function, pamper the One Percent, and punish the working class, Team Evil has implemented massive tax cuts, both for (rich enough) individuals and corporations. In order to pay for those cuts, at least in part – they STILL add $3.4 trillion dollars to the deficit – Team Evil cut Medicare subsidies. Of course, MAGA doesn’t know about THAT, either.

See, MAGA was told that the $880 billion dollars Team Evil cut from Medicaid was all fraud, waste, and abuse. It defies logic that a governmental agency like Medicaid would allow $880 billion dollars of fraud, waste, and abuse to continue. If you want THAT kind of fraud, waste, and abuse, you have to look to the Pentagon – but nobody looks at the Pentagon. And, really, how DARE I even suggest it? I’ll flog myself appropriately later.

Meanwhile, people are already beginning to receive notices of increases in their health insurance costs for next year. I’ve heard that some people are receiving notices that their premiums are going to increase as much as 97%. Some people will be asked to pay over $800 dollars more – each month! Quick question: with the upper classes doing everything they can think of to impoverish the lower classes, how the hell is Joe Six-pack supposed to come up with an additional $800 a month to cover the increase?

So, the Democrats have dug in their heels. So have the Republicans. The Democrats to restore the Medicare subsidies that made health insurance affordable in this pseudo-free market, capitalist hellhole. Democrats don’t WANT to see millions of Americans (or MAGA, either, for that matter) lose their health insurance. For their part, Republicans don’t want millions of Americans (or MAGA, either, for that matter) to realize they’ve lost their health insurance to the Big Beautiful Bill forced on us BY the GOP.

Fortunately, the GOP has a proven, successful tool to help them get over the hump. They’ll tell a big, beautiful, but scary lie. “Democrats,” they lie, “want to give health insurance to illegals.” While I would prefer a national health care system that just treated whomever needed treatment, that’s not the system we have, here, in MAGAmerica, and in THIS country, it’s illegal for undocumented people to sign up for the Affordable Care Act.

We, the people, don’t DO that. Because, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me,” (Matthew 25:40) and “whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” (Matthew 25:45).

Democrats are trying to restore funding for the premium subsides for American citizens, MAGA, and no one else. Republicans have a message of their own: “Screw you, Jesus!” It’s a bold message, but they’re running with it. I stand with Jesus and the Democrats on this one…

Typically, the President of the United States gains some extra powers during wartime. Presumably, this applies to Donny, too, and he knows it. The Heritage Foundation told him. In fact, in order to do whatever evil he wants to do on any given day, he needs the extra powers of wartime. To that end, he keeps declaring the US is in an “armed conflict” with… well, fill in the blank.

At first it was gangs, but a smarter person – namely a judge – pointed out that a few gang members – or even a lot of them – hardly constitute an invading army. So now it’s drug dealers. He says we’re in an armed conflict with drug dealers and he has declared some of them terrorist threats. He’s using this story as legal cover for his “extrajudicial killings” – they mean “murders” – of people out on boating trips off of the coast of Venezuela.

There have been three boats, seventeen people, he has murdered this way, as of this writing. He makes jokes about attacking them. HE claims they were just chock-full of drugs – the boats, not the people. Then again, he IS the Father of Lies. With him, it’s the occasional truth slipping out that becomes noteworthy. Mostly, he just wants the power and this is the deceit he has chosen.

It seems to be an idea he lifted from Rodrigo Duterte, the ex-president of the Philippines. Now might be a good time to mention, Duterte’s current position is “defendant” at the World Court. He’s on trial for crimes against humanity. He, too, murdered an awful lot of people pretending they were all drug dealers. See? That’s a promising outcome in the long run and we can, collectively, hold the thought.

If it’s good enough for Duterte, it’s certainly good enough for the trumpster. He has already ordered the murders. Now all we have to do is get him to the Hague…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The other day, Donny told a reporter that the Roberts Supremely Corrupted Kangaroo Court’s ruling that the President – or in this case, Donny – has near-perfect immunity would probably help Obama a lot. “But,” he added, “it doesn’t help the people who worked for him at all.”

Tell the truth, if you were one of the people working for 47, wouldn’t that statement make you just a wee bit nervous as he careens on his rampage of revenge and shatters law after law? Donny will claim immunity. His minions will have no such claim…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, he’s done it again. Donny is a very small person and he knows it. Still, he wants everybody to think he’s important and so, from time to time, he tries to prove how important he is by sharing some secret he has. I’m pretty sure that’s how Putin gets information from him.
“Donald, I know you’re important but I bet they won’t let you have the nuclear codes.”
“I do TOO have the codes because I’m the importantist!” Donny whines. “They’re right here, see?”

Vlad does see. So does his lapel camera. As Donny offers up the proof of his “importance,” Vlad just snaps a photo, smiles, and says, “Ah, yes, I can see that you ARE important.”
“The importantist!” Donny insists, proud that he foiled his adversary.

And now he’s done it again. The Felonious Fraudster posted a video of himself because, of course he did. But, it wasn’t “himself.” It was AI generated. I’m not sure he realized. Presumably, he can’t remember making the video and he should know that it’s not really him but I don’t take anything for granted with this guy. He sees himself, that’s good enough for him.

The AI generated video is for Med Beds, a device that is said to restore human beings back to perfect health. It can even restore severed limbs! The video said Med Bed hospitals were to be made public, with every citizen given a free access card. I suppose this was him, teasing the ‘replacement for Obamacare’ he has long promised but never delivered.

The video didn’t stay up long. I suppose because such technology is OBVIOUSLY not intended for the great unwashed. Those things cost, like, an arm and a leg to get into, which is okay, since it puts the arm and the leg right back but still, they’re intended for rich people, not the poors. Donny should NOT have said the poors will gain access and down came the video.

Oh, Med Beds are also said to be a gift from aliens. THAT got me thinking. It sounds so… familiar. Then it came to me. I know the alien species we got that tech from! They’re called The Goa’uld! (That’s ‘Gua,’ as in ‘guacamole’ and ‘oold’ as in, um, ‘oold,’ or sometimes just ‘Gould’ as in ‘Elliot.’) Of course, THAT means Donny also, accidentally, spilled the beans on a super-de-duper, extra-elite US fighting force called ‘Stargate Command.’ The warriors of Stargate Command use other ancient alien technology to travel from planet to planet, liberating each from the evil clutches of the Goa’uld as they go.

The Goa’uld had exactly that technology, only they didn’t call them Med Beds. They called them sarcophagi. (They had a whole ancient Egypt vibe going. It’s a long story.) One could climb into the sarcophagus all beaten and battered and emerge young and beautiful and in perfect health again. I learned all about them by watching what are apparently historical documents recording the exploits of the lead Stargate Command team, called SG-1. And here I thought it was just a television show.

But the President of the United States, or even Donny, wouldn’t be posting videos about fictitious technology created as a plot device on a television show, and promising to make said fictitious technology available to everyone, would he? I mean, would he? A person would have to be ridiculously stupid to fall for such a… um… okay, never mind…

Man, the Niners won a squeaker on Thursday night, didn’t they? It’s been fairly ugly, the way they’ve been winning. BUT, they’ve been winning – and an ugly win is better than a picture-perfect loss. The Niners are banged up. Then again, the Niners are ALWAYS banged up. The Niners don’t have a sideline, they have an infirmary…

Remember Rudy Giuliani? Of course you do, despite the fact that we’ve ALL done so much to try and forget him. Rudy worked for Donny. Father of Lies Donny wanted to, well, lie, about the 2020 election and Rudy did as he was told. He lied. In court. He also lied out of court for his Precious. He proved to be a bad lawyer, but a good soldier.

Rudy did Donny’s bidding, faithfully. But when Rudy was no longer useful to 47, 47 brushed Rudy aside. He refused to pay Rudy’s bill. Then, Rudy got sued for $1.3 billion dollars by Dominion, a voting machine company he defamed. Then Rudy had to pay more millions to two women he had defamed. Then, Rudy lost his license to practice law as a direct result of doing Donny’s bidding and filing several frivolous, baseless lawsuits. Donny got his lies. Rudy got the comeuppance.

The reason I mention it is this: Lindsey Halligan is the person Donny has tapped to destroy her professional future representing more of Donny’s ongoing lies as he attempts to re-write history. She’s perfect for that, by the way. Her LAST gig was attempting to re-write the history of slavery in the US. Now she is going to try to convince a court that James Comey’s legal investigation into 47’s criminal activity with the Russians was selective prosecution and that the selective prosecution of Comey is actually a legal investigation.

She’s in WAY over her head and, apparently, all she has accomplished, so far, is to embarrass herself. She’ll be lucky if, once this ends, she walks away with nothing more than egg on her face. Too many people just never seem to notice, the Father of Lies is also the Don of Destruction. But it’s never his destruction. It’s always the people around him that get destroyed. When it comes to Lindsey Halligan, I’m pretty sure I can see the future…

We’re starting to get a more clear picture of exactly whom in the regime – once this evil is behind us – will be prosecuted for the murders of the people on those Venezuelan boats the US has been blasting out of the water with no evidence of a crime committed by the passengers or crew. Weird little Stephen Miller is at the top of the list, apparently. It’s his idea, his program.

That dude IS weird, too, isn’t he? He likes to pose for photos looking like he thinks he’s a tough guy, large and in charge. But I can’t forget that he’s a “cuck” on the national stage. His wife is off with Elon Musk. One assumes she has been selected to add to Musk’s army of unwanted children and Musk is happily banging away at Miller’s wife on the “project,” though, that’s just a theory. But when she turns up pregnant and hasn’t been anywhere near her husband…

Okay, so here comes the government shutdown. Whose idea was this, anyway? If you ask MAGA, they’ll tell you it’s all the Dems fault. If you ask anyone else, they’ll tell you it’s Donny’s fault. It will be the same end result for the masses, regardless of whose fault it is. More economic upheaval. Great, just great.

The Dems are fighting to restore cuts to the Affordable Care Act the GOP inflicted. “If we don’t extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits, more than 20 million Americans are going to experience dramatically increased premiums, copays, deductibles, in an environment where the cost of living in America is already too high,” Hakim Jeffries told CNN on Sunday.

The GOP responded with the predictable, “The American people suck and really don’t deserve health care. Rich people need more money. Who are you going to believe, your lying eyes… or me?” It’s quite the philosophical battle shaping up…

I hear, unofficially, that people who once left California are coming back. Probably not red-hats, who leave for political reasons. They’ll stay away for political reasons, too. But others looking for better affordability? Yeah, they’re coming back. I get it. California is expensive. For a while, people were fleeing the high cost of living in the state. But it turns out, upon further review, one doesn’t just replace California. If you leave California, you leave California.

Take Texas. Please. I lived in Texas for a short time after I got out of the service. I lived along the gulf coast. It was a nice enough place, but I never got used to the humidity. Yes, you can buy a house for less in Texas, but the state is going to hit you hard on property taxes and you’ll be re-assessed annually. Texas isn’t bad, exactly, but it isn’t California.

I suspect it’s the intangibles of California that bring people back. I’d describe them for you but, they’re intangibles. You just have to sort of feel it for yourself. But I know, having left the state for a time, it doesn’t take long to miss California and want to come back…

As of this writing, the only thing we know, for sure, about this latest nutball attack against innocent people is that the attacker got out of a truck “with two American flags raised in the truck bed and started shooting,” according to Police Chief William Renye. Then he set the place on fire. He was killed in a shootout with police.

Do you know which side is NOT running around with big American flags sticking up from their vehicles? Yeah, that would be lefties. Just the flags, alone, cause me to believe we have yet another nutball rightie who chose violence for his message. They’re almost always righties, so, of course, Donny is looking to the left. That boy just gets everything wrong…

Have we caught up? So many crazy things are happening so fast, it’s hard to keep up. I know, that’s the goal, but I’m still trying. I disregard things like releasing the Amelia Earhart files as a distraction from the Epstein Files. Or the AI photos the White House keeps posting as a distraction from the Epstein Files. Or the troops he deploys as a distraction from the Epstein Files. But no matter what he does trying to distract from the Epstein Files, there’s still tons and tons of foolishness, groups and oodles of incompetence, and mountains of criminality we should try to keep our eyes on. It’s just so effing hard to keep up…
