No more endless wars...OK, except this one.

"We Love You God"

"We Love You God"

Nobody changes leaders in the middle of war. Trump, hammered in the polls for tariffs and DOGE cuts, is posturing as a war president and using phrases like this attack “was the likes of what the world has never seen,” and “We love you God,” even as he is launching an unprovoked attack on Iran.

Apocalypse...Uh...Not Now. Somewhere Down the Road

It's been a heck of a week, Brownie.

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Pride Edition

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Pride Edition

Musk wanted to stay in his role beyond the 130-day time limit set by statute. But, love grows stale, it seems, and a 4-month relationship is more than Trump could bear. The Oval Office simply couldn't continue to hold two egos of this size. Our daddies are breaking up.

The Book of War

The Book of War

"Americans don’t have the only culture on the planet struggling with values, but we seem unable to stop funding weapons and wars while we take food and hope and health from children."

Open the Pod Bay Doors, HAL...

That was the week that was.

The Thrill is Gone

The Thrill is Gone

Your nighttime dreams are forgotten as you doomscroll yourself awake. There's no time for daydreams as your phone pings with every Trump alert. Our mental health is in decline as the country falls off the World Happiness Chart.

Gulag America

The process, as everyone knows, is called “profiling.” If you approach the checkpoint as a white person, the odds of you being detained are minimal. Traveling north while brown is more problematic.

The Art of the Deal, OK, Sort of...

Yes, it's TDS. Trump Distraction Syndrome.

"You Effed Up. You Trusted Us."

"You Effed Up. You Trusted Us."

Can we get a mulligan on the last election?

The Nazification Escalation

The Nazification Escalation

Ridiculing the Trump deep state as Naziesque, joking around about his Nazi enablers seemed at times to be tiresome and so much amplified hysteria. Not anymore.

The Fourth Reich

The Fourth Reich

Lying and deception have always been a central facet of U.S. politics and policy. What we assumed separated us from the rest of the planet was this false notion that our governmental mechanics outed the bad actors. We put our faith in process, and we were fools.

Boys With Toys

Making hard choices is what we overpay these people to do.

A Lost Son of Texas

A Lost Son of Texas

Freddy’s mother died last August at the age of 94. Were she still with us, she’d have another battle on her hands because The Medal of Honor recipient’s name, photo, and story have been taken down from Pentagon and Department of Defense and the Naval History and Heritage Command web sites.

Well, King George had an excuse.

A Rant: Memo to the 77 Million

A Rant: Memo to the 77 Million

Why hasn't your boy-hero Elon been arrested? Congress has not authorized him to take his chainsaw to budgets that have proved critical to American excellence. Only the signature of his Fuhrer Trump has empowered punk-ass programmers to lop off the lives and services of people like our vets.

You Poor, Dumb Sucker.

Come on, you're just trying to confuse me with information.

Fun with Doublethink

Fun with Doublethink

"...if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed -if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth." -G. Orwell, 1984

Oh, Lost!

Wolfe, like most of us in America today, was mourning the inescapable truth that time moves forward and that we cannot ever truly return to what we once knew, which might be our country’s ugly fate.

I Got a Lot of Problems With You People!

Please! Please! Give us a break from this.

If you have to keep yelling "Incoming!" it loses its punch.

The Quimby Court of the Mango King

The Quimby Court of the Mango King

As for Musk, his super PAC aired $1 million worth of ads that said, “Thank you, President Trump." Another dog pressing his nose against the Mango King's booty.

Wherein we find the only "Big Balls" belong to that 19-year-old DOGE punk.

Donnie Darwin

The blunt force trauma of their cuts is designed to rid this country and the wider world of vulnerable populations and reinforce structures of privilege and power. It has nothing to do with saving taxpayers’ money.
