 Hey, Donnie, you've wrecked one country's economy and damaged countless other countries' -- what're you gonna do now?


Sharing KFC with the Saudis is more important than what now?  Well, they knew what they were getting into, OK?  The Leader likes soldiers who don't get killed or all shot up or become unsightly and disabled.  He likes parades.

A significant part of the world's population hopes The Leader will choke on a chicken bone, but don't count him out for that peace prize he craves.  Look at these guys, the economic ministers of (left to right) Japan, South Korea and China.  Earlier this week they put aside differences and signed an agreement to face "emerging challenges" (diplomatic language for "the Americans have lost their minds") with a strengthened trade agreement to challenge idiotic new tariffs.  Could Joe Biden have done that?  

Questioned by a reporter as he waddled away for a weekend of cheating at golf and cozying up to Arabs, The Leader was in good spirits:  "I think it's going very well.  It was an operation like when a patient gets operated on."  Oh, please, don't get him started again defining words that every five-year-old knows, we just went through this with groceries.

While many Americans contemplate life liberated from their 401Ks, their Medicaid and their jobs or farms, Warren Buffett is denying that he had good things to say about The Leader's economic genius.  He's warning the rest of us to stop and think before grabbing up blue chip stocks at Walmart prices.  It's a time of uncertainty even if you're worth $167 billion, give or take.  Call me reassured.

But a MAGA named Brian Decker continues to spread the lie about Buffett and claims The Leader is crashing the stock market by 20 percent "on purpose."  And this was shared on Ministry of Truth Social, so who should we believe?  Is it reassuring to think the disaster is the result of deliberate malice rather than advanced dementia?  Yeah, let's do that.

The Commerce Department -- you remember Howie Lutnick, noted Tesla pitchman -- is taking NOAA websites offline tomorrow night to save money.  Rich or poor, you're still subject to weather (I believe Buffett lives in Omaha, in the middle of tornado country) so this is even worse than the chaos at HHS.  Already this year floods and tornados have killed people in Tennessee, Missouri, Arkansas and Indiana, with millions in property damage.  But Florida, bless its heart, is on the case:  the state senate passed SB-56 which makes weather modification and geoengineering third-degree felonies.  No more chemtrails!  Airports must report planes equipped to "disperse substances with climate-altering capabilities"!  Once again Florida legislators fail to distinguish climate from weather.  

It's been a long week.  But Americans are still doing great things.  I leave you with Chanel Tapper, Guinness-certified owner of the world's longest tongue.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Full disclosure

 With Trump and his silk pajamas in recess, the political story of the day must be  Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,  sharing the story that a worm crawled into his brain, ate some of it and died.  The New York Times says it obtained a deposition from his 2012 divorce case and came across this nugget.  At the time of the parasite's discovery, doctors said he also had mercury poisoning, probably from eating a lot of fish.  In the deposition Kennedy says, "I have short-term memory loss and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me."  At least he doesn't blame the worm on vaccines.  Even before his stalking horse earned the nickname Worm Brain, things were going Trump's way.  His boutique judge  Aileen Cannon  postponed indefinitely the stolen documents case that mean old Jack Smith is waiting to present because she has to study eight pending motions from the defense and she's just stumped by their  "novel and difficult questions." ...
