Digging a hole

  We are nowhere near bottom yet, no matter how it feels. The  Defense Department  is carrying out an Orwellian purge of its past.  Any and all references to women, Black and Hispanic people in the services must be memory-holed by next Wednesday.  For comic effect, the order requires the removal of the word "gay," including images of the B-29 bomber which dropped the first atomic bomb in 1945.  Col. Paul Tibbets's orientation is not in question; his offense was in naming the plane after his mother: The original  Declaration of Independence  is displayed in the rotunda of the National Archives where just anyone can look at it, in a high-tech case filled with argon.  The Leader is afraid for its safety and wants it moved into the Oval Office where he can show it off to visiting Russians and Musk brats can wipe boogers on it.  Coincidentally, during a recent brainstorming session on  Fox & Friends Weekend,  Charlie Hurt hinted...

 House Democrats sang "We Shall Overcome" as  Rep. Al Green  was censured for lese majeste.  All, I assume, except the ten who voted with the Republicans for reasons which would have been unfathomable to John Lewis or Fannie Lou Hamer or anyone else with a conscience.  Overcome what?  The Tremulous Ten were Ami Bera (CA), Ed Case (HI), Jim Costa (CA), Laura Gillen (NY), Jim Himes (CT), Chrissy Houlahan (PA), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Jared Moskowitz (FL), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (WA) and Tom Suozzi (NY).  Last December CNN identified  Moskowitz  as a possible director of FEMA, but the acting director is a reality TV geek called Cameron Hamilton and the DOGE vandals will probably destroy it anyway, so, not an excuse, Jared, you just punked out.  Keep needling James Comer and some people will forget you also supported the censure of Rashida Tlaib. Speaking of punking, The Leader's now-you-see-it-now-you-don't tariffs are making the financial marke...

This is now normal

  How can anyone talk for over ninety minutes without even inadvertently saying something true? I was disappointed when Chief Corey Comperatore failed to attend, as promised by Official White House Press Secretary and Bottle Blonde No. 1  Karoline Leavitt  on Fox & Friends.  Apparently he had a scheduling conflict, having died last July in the big assassination attempt on Donny's ear.  Remember when  Joe Biden  called out for a Congresswoman who had recently died in a car accident?  For a week we had to hear questions about his mental fitness on the very same show.  How old is Leavitt? The Leader was very disappointed in the degree of loyalty expressed.  "I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make [Democrats] happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud," he lamented.  All right, that was true.  He even had Little Mikey eject those who expressed audible disapproval, which was mostly Rep. Al Green yelling, "Y...

Wind your neck in

 January Littlejohn sounds like a character in a Terry Pratchett novel but the reality is much less attractive.  She is a transphobic Florida  activist who gets to sit with Melania von Schtupp at tonight's Joint Hate Rally.  Yes, it's a confirmed Mel sighting.  Grab your cameras before she goes to ground. The  Wall Street Journal  editorial board is Susan Collins-level concerned about the little 650-point hiccup in the Dow yesterday after Grandpa Syphilis confirmed his vindictive tariffs on Canada and Mexico.  They worry that they may have triggered the old fool by using the word "dumbest" to describe his policy, but he says there's just "no room left" to negotiate.  Worse, Claudia Sheinbaum and Justin Trudeau refuse to come to the Oval Office for ritual abuse and accusations of ingratitude, while Marco Rubio tries to become one with a sofa. Somewhere Rex Tillerson is congratulating himself that nobody remembers he was once part of this disa...

Us today, you tomorrow

J.D. Vance was so happy when Musk let him out of his cage to tag-team Volodymyr Zelensky in front of a crowd of so-called journalists that he took his family on a ski weekend in Vermont .  So near and yet so not, Jady.  The place you wanted was New Hampshire, where flat earthers and Sovereign Citizens go to live free and die.  What did you think would happen in Bernieland? Poor Jady.  Now he can go on the Jizzy Watters Comedy Hour and whine about the loss of civility.  It's reached the point where two thugs can't bully the democratically elected president of an independent country without people spitting in their Ovaltine. Or worse.   Haltbakk Bunkers,  the company that supplies fuel to US forces in Norway, says it will no longer do so.  "We have today been witnesses to the biggest shitshow ever presented 'live on TV' by the current American president and his vice president.  Huge credit to the president of Ukraine restraining himself an...
