  With so many Democrats in touch with their inner lapdogs we need to honor our heroes.  J.B. Pritzker has instructed Illinois's  Department of Central Management Services  not to hire any January 6 insurrectionists for state jobs.  "No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government," he said, which means about fifty people including those with pending charges according to the Chicago Sun-Times.  Pritzker has also condemned The Leader's attack on birthright citizenship and his funding freeze, now rescinded.  And he swatted away  Elon Musk's  elementary school "joke" about his weight, which he has probably heard before.  Pritzker/Ocasio-Cortez 2028! Stanford law professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried have requested a pardon price list from the White House.  They miss their boy, cryptofraudster and John Belushi impersonator  Sam Bankman-Fried,  and figure this is the best way to get him home in le...

 During the first month of 2025 there has not been a school shooting large enough to attract media attention, but when there is we will be told (thoughts & prayers) that it's inappropriate to bring up the subject of gun control -- too soon.  A few hours later, it will be too late.  Some things should never be politicized, we will be told.  Think of the families, we will be told. Last night an American Eagle flight from Wichita  collided with a Sikorski Black Hawk helicopter while trying to land at Reagan National Airport.  Both craft fell into the Potomac and 67 people died.  Rescuers were still searching the river when the politicking began. The bankrupt semi-literate felon turns out to be an expert on aviation and air traffic control.  Who knew?  That must be why he  fired  the heads of the Coast Guard and the Transportation Security Administration and the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee on Day Two (January 21 for...

 In lieu of a snake, Roadkill Bob brought Biff the Brainworm to the Senate Finance Committee, where they both lied their asses off about being anti-vax Luddites.  Michael Bennet  (D-CO) provided the voice of sanity, questioning RB on his vaccine theories and why his own children are vaccinated -- but he didn't stop there.  Kennedy lied about saying covid was engineered to spare Chinese people and Ashkenazi Jews.  Kennedy lied about calling Lyme disease a bioweapon.  Kennedy lied about his belief that exposure to pesticides causes children to become transgendered.  Kennedy was shocked to be reminded that he thinks African AIDS is not the same as AIDS elsewhere.  Kennedy denied his support for a woman's right to choose, the only humane position he has ever taken.  Now "every abortion is a tragedy," apparently.   Ron Wyden  (D-OR) inquired about the measles outbreak in American Samoa, which Kennedy managed to make much worse by en...

  California's Department of Water Resources thought it was necessary to issue the above because The Leader was taking credit for water.  More specifically, he was taking credit for ordering the military to -- but let him tell it: Which branch of The United States Military?  The 82nd Airborne Plumbers?  Does "Pacific Northwest and beyond" include the British Columbia section of the 51st state?  Aren't all Environmental arguments Fake insofar as they don't enrich Elon Musk?  When do we get to see video of the Giant Faucet being activated, or was the combat too gruesome?  Were there casualties?  What the fuck are you typing about, you depraved cretin?  Rain has been falling in southern California -- do you want credit for that, too?  And for the mudslides and structural damage that will follow?  Or is Gavin Newsom responsible for them? Eight days into what looks to be the longest four years since the Great War, reality has already che...

  Jeezalou, I take the weekend off and miss an entire trade war.  And it turns out the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, also knows how to use social media.  I'm going to suggest that Colombia was singled out for abuse because it's the birthplace of Judge Juan Merchan, but what do I know?  It's up at the top of South America and it probably caught The Leader's eye because it's not Venezuela. He claims America is "respected again," but it doesn't sound like it.  Not his America, at any rate.  If he read the president's post he probably gave up after the references to people he never heard of, like Walt Whitman.  You want respect?  After two earlier flights arrived,  Mexico  denied landing permission to a third, while Brazil was outraged when deportees arrived in handcuffs after being denied even water on the plane.  Colombia accepted 124 such flights last year, when the passengers were treated humanely, but no more.  Hence t...

 "Beautiful young people are being shot in the battlefield.  You know, the bullet, very flat land as I said, and the bullet goes, there's no, there's no hiding, and the bullet, the only thing gonna stop the bullet is a human body.  And you have to see -- I've seen pictures." Poor old Joe Biden really lost it, didn't he?  Wait, that's not Biden, that's Trump?  Never mind. The listeners at the  World Economic Forum waited patiently for this swamp gas to be translated, but it didn't help.  Do you know why Russia's war against Ukraine goes on?  Because OPEC and Saudi Arabia have not brought down the price of oil, but he's going to get right on that.  Once the price of oil drops, interest rates will follow, for some reason.  He'll demand it.  It's practically done.   If only it were that easy to lower the price of eggs as he promised.  Maybe it's because  avian influenza  has led to the deaths of 136 million lay...

If you own a TV station, need a meteorologist and don't like Nazis,  Sam Kuffel  is now at liberty (as actors used to say).  She criticized Elon Musk's Nazi salute and was fired by CBS58 in Milwaukee.  Even at the local level, even in weather forecasting, gutlessness prevails. Check your Leader feed for overnight rants, where the real governing takes place.  Reacting to news of mass layoffs at CNN (trying to be Fox Lite has resulted only in repelling viewers), the Leader explained, "MSDNC [his clever epithet for MSNBC] is even worse than CNN.  They shouldn't have a right to broadcast -- Only in America!"  A call to revoke their nonexistent broadcast license will undoubtedly follow.  And after Scarborough and Brzezinski stood barefoot in the snow -- no, sorry, that was a different penitent. That was  King Henry II of England, who supposedly asked his knights to rid him of the "turbulent priest" Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury.  F...

 Who's annoying Trumpelthinskin today? The ratings are in from the venerable and non-partisan  Nielsen  company.  On CBS, NBC and ABC, 26.05 million people watched the inauguration, a 32-percent drop from the last two.  And it was a national holiday, so a lot of people were home.  So sad.  Time for James Comer and his Comettes to launch one of their investigations.  Time for the courtiers to insist that billions watched on other platforms, if they know what's good for them. The Leader was back at the National Cathedral for a National Prayer Service yesterday and despite his having been "saved by God" he let someone else lead it.  It's a decision he must regret because  Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde  did not hold back, asking mercy for gay, lesbian and transgender children as well as "the people who pick our crops...who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants and work the night shifts in hospitals."  From an Episcopalian, th...

  One picture says it all.  Is this what the 77 million voted for?  And are you going to believe the Anti-Defamation League or your own lying eyes? An "awkward gesture"?  "A bit of grace"?  "People are on edge"?  This is the ADL, whose mission statement is "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people," not "can't we all just get along?"   In 2022  Admiral Linda Fagan  became the first woman to head the US Coast Guard, and yesterday she was dismissed.  No one will say exactly why, but she's accused of investigating sexual assault cases too vigorously, failing to secure the borders and you guessed it, too much DEI.  Her biography has already been scrubbed from the Coast Guard website.  Others honored with "YOU'RE FIRED!" were Jose Andres (President's Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition), Mark Milley (National Infrastructure Advisory Council), Brian Hook (Wilson Center for Scholars) and Keisha Lance Bottoms (...

  Made it, Ma!  Top of the --- oh, shit. In what we can only hope is a presage of things to come, another Space X billion-dollar firecracker experienced a "rapid unscheduled disassembly" deep in the heart of Texas.  A lot of that flaming crap is Your Tax Dollars at Work, but in the US of Oligarchy does it really matter?  Mi dinero es su dinero. It's not just the rocketry business that's failing on stinky old Joe Biden's watch.  Did you know that Hollywood is in trouble?  Neither did it, but it must be so.  Look: You thought the studios were raking it in with woke talkies like Barbie and Wicked, you deluded libtard.  Yet Foreign Countries have film industries of their own and their product is pouring across the border  tariff free.  Why hasn't Biden stopped this outrage?  Isn't that the president's job?  If we're lucky it's the shiny thing that will distract the Leader for the next four years or until the angels come for him....

Since the ceasefire was announced, Israeli air strikes have killed 81 people and injured almost 200, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.  Ministers  Smotrich and Ben-Gvir,  who make Netanyahu look conciliatory, appear to be the stumbling blocks.  So the slaughter continues. Some wars take longer to conclude than the fighting itself.  More than 100,000 Poles were massacred between 1943 and 1945 by Ukrainian nationalists under the leadership of Nazi occupiers.  Now President Zelenskyy and Prime Minister Tusk have reached an agreement to allow the exhumation of Poles who died in what is known as the  Volhynia massacre .  Poland has been a strong ally of Ukraine during the Russian invasion and this can only bring them closer.  Nobody in Poland wants to be next on Putin's wish list, especially with NATO suddenly looking vulnerable to the whims of Putin's American puppet.  Perhaps in the same spirit UK Prime Minister Starmer visited...
