Trumpstein!

 Did Trump engage in sex with under 18's? Of course he did, nobody with a room temp IQ doubts it. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were inseparable for years. They both enjoyed the same things, most of which is illegal, immoral and just plain sick. And now, you'd think Trump never met the guy. The Epstein list is going to be released, it's on Pam Bondi's desk awaiting review, Bondi "reviewed" it and told Trump he's in the files, then all of a sudden there was no Epstein List. Its all a fraud. made up by Obama and Biden and the Democrats. Then, because this pervert cant shut his ass up, he shades Bill Clinton and Larry Summers and a bunch of hedge fund guys, HEY he'll give you the list.

WAIT! There's a list after all? Trump is such a blabbermouth he digs a grave that 99,9% of humans would already be in, yet somehow Trump can get his fellow grifters like Charlie Kirk, Tim Pool, J D Vance, and the rest of the paid con artists profiting off Trumps debauchery to do the ol' 180 and claim they now don't care about Epstein any longer. He's got power and charisma that's for sure but it doesn't change the fact the President of the United States is a kiddie diddler, a felon, a rapist, a thief and a golf cheat.

Trumpstein is one of those guys we call a useful idiot. The Project 2025 scum will use him up, get what they want, then when it's accomplished, Trump will be shooed off to the dustbin of hedonists. Oh well we didn't know, oh my what a horror show, he needs to resign and then Peter Thiel's bitch, J D Vance, can continue the road to authoritarianism. 

Trump's latest foray into I didn't like Epstein, didn't know Epstein, or threw Epstein overboard involves Epstein stealing his employees from Mar A Lago. Purely business, eh? Tomorrow we may hear that Trumpstein was undercover to bring down a child sex trafficker and HAD to partake to keep his cover.

Meanwhile the well-known pimp and perjurer, Ghislaine Maxwell, doing 20 years for various crimes against humanity, was interviewed by Trumps personal lawyer, no not Bondi, in federal prison for some reason which I'm sure is a precursor to her saying Trump is innocent, Clinton and anyone else Trump wants to take down is guilty and she's an innocent victim of Democrats. Trump then pardons her, she stays silent and it all goes away.

What kind of moron buys any of this? I am not sure but trust me there are millions who will.

Did you know there are 4700 financial transactions in the Epstein files? Wouldn't that be interesting to see the names on that list. 47? Trump is 47. There ya go Q anon. Thats enough "evidence" for you to con more people out of money and their intelligence.

Will this whole sordid slog of degeneracy be enough to take Trump down? I have no idea. This guy is a walking scandal day after day and nothing sticks. Yeah, he has 38% approval, but he wasn't that much more popular in 2024 and America said sure why not, FASCISM RULES!

This country is truly in the Age of Stupid.

Ozzy!

 You could say making it to age 76 means Ozzy Osbourne won. Christ the guy should have died 40 years ago. Ozzy was the ultimate front man whether it was Black Sabbath or solo. He was the Prince of Fucking Darkness for gawd sakes.

Ozzy was a chubby kid from England when he was chosen to front Black Sabbath, perhaps the first heavy metal band. Those of us of a certain age and of a certain musical preference knew of Ozzy from the get-go. I mean come on now, War Pigs? Paranoid? Children of the Grave? Those were unlike anything we'd ever heard before. This was punch you in the mouth rock, there was no room onboard for wimps and we all went along for the ride. Dammit, your heroes die just like everyone else.

Ozzy didn't play a damn thing. He just shared the best musicians he could find and went out and rocked the arenas and stadiums. He acted all goofy onstage whether by design or by just being himself. And could he bring you along for the bumpy ride. Ozzy was exhausting to watch. He sweated, he dumped water over his head, he sprayed foam all over the front rows and once bit the head off a bat he thought was a toy. THAT made him a legend among disaffected youth. A pure accident.

The reality show, The Osbournes, made him a household name. He was made fun of, he looked a fool, he let Sharon use him to make cash. Some of us didn't like it, but most people thought it was hilarious. It seemed Ozzy was mush brained, used by his overbearing wife and kids to secure a lifestyle they'd grown accustomed to. He got Parkinsons, obviously from years of drug abuse, alcohol abuse and bad food. Yet he was still pushed out on tours he may not have wanted to be on. Just weeks ago he was pushed onto a stage for the last time on a throne, sang a few songs and left. Forever.

Ozzy wasn't the greatest singer. He wasn't the best frontman. But dammit he was entertaining as hell. But most of all he rocked for 76 years. We should all be so lucky.

Cheers Ozzy.

Chilling Effect Achieved!

The chilling effect is here. Corporate America is scared. They always get scared when their bottom line is threatened because Corporate America doesn't give a shit about the constitution, what they give a shit about is making money. And if they have to kowtow to a mad King, well they've proved they will. ABC settled with the Mad King over nothing. They took Trumps nuisance suit and just paid it. Chilling Effect 1. Paramount (owner of CBS) wants to merge with Skydance and in order to do so need FCC approval. They settled Trumps nuisance suit over an edit done by everyone from CBS down to the Lindell TV for $16 million. Also allegedly provided $16 million of free propaganda to advance authoritarianism. And now? They have fired Stephen Colbert, the Trump critic that holds nothing back. Oh, I guess technically he wasn't "fired" but his show was cancelled as of May 2026 when his contract is up. Trump gloats like the glorified thug he is.

Who's next? Jon Stewart? Jimmy Kimmel? Stewart's contract expires in December 2025. Kimmel's contract is up in 2026. Are they secure? Not with Donnie Dipshit in charge. ABC already folded to the bully boy in chief. Skydance will own Jon Stewart if the merger goes through. Do you think any of the cowardly media conglomerates will stand up to back channel demands to fire Kimmel or Stewart and replace them with "funnyman" Tony Hinchcliffe or "comedian" Theo Van? Will Dennis Miller make a comeback? Larry The Cable Guy hosting a late night ahow dedicated to kissing Trumps ass?

This really is a chilling effect on free speech. Conservatives have been whining for years that they are "censored" by big media. Anyone who has google knows what bullshit that is. But they thrive on being the victims. They hate watch Trump critics just so they can be offended and narc them out to the powers that be. The podcasters, the manosphere, the right wing paid Russian assets, the regime itself, and twitter, the Nazi forum some of us still fight with.

Colin Kaepernick was blacklisted for kneeling during the anthem. Jan 6ers were pardoned for trying to kill the Vice President, breaking into the Capitol and shitting in waste baskets. Breonna Taylor was murdered by a cop for sleeping. The cop who did it will serve one day in jail because Pam Bondi and the DOJ are racists. The Rosenbergs were killed for doing less spying for Russia than most of the people in this regime. Chilling effect.

Trump and his goons will continue to push the envelope further and further. The Democrats will do nothing. The courts will do nothing. The Supreme Court is nothing but a kangaroo court for Harlan Crowe and Donald Trump to do their bidding. We are in the throes of fascism right fucking now. Are you gonna do anything?

In a normal world, which hasn't existed since the Degenerate In Chief descended down the golden escalator to applause from paid actors in 2015 and called all Mexicans rapists and murderers which allowed the slime under the rocks to emerge. In a normal world, Colbert, the ratings winner, would be scooped up by someone. But in this world, are the media chickenshits willing to fight back?

Pardon me while I howl in laughter.

We are fucked.

Divide And Conquer!

 The Moron in Chief continues to throw the world his famous knuckleball regarding economics and it continually rolls to the screen. 25% tariffs on Japan, Mister Japan to be exact, which maybe or maybe not will ever go into effect, could be the stupidest thing this economic illiterate may ever do, Ya see, Japan holds most of the United States' debt in bonds and loans. Ya don't piss off the bank that holds your destiny in their hands. But when it comes to a lifelong deadbeat like Trump, what does he care? This guy has never paid a debt in his life. In fact, one of the dumber things he's ever said, and it's a long list, was he would wipe out the debt by turning it into crypto? WTF? This man child will bankrupt this nation like he did his casinos. President Deadbeat, that's what 49.8% of this stupid country voted for. 

The Big Ugly Bill passed. The Republicans danced, oh how they danced on the backs of the poor, the brown, the elderly, the very white trash that voted for them. They YMCA'd in front of a camera, while the miserable dopes who voted for Trump had no idea what had just happened to them. They gave Trump a prop gavel to pound like a toddler and they all laughed. Oh, how they laughed as President Fisher Price pounded the gavel with a stupid look on his face. The billionaires, the 1%, the Republican politicians funded by moral lepers, the oil and gas leeches, the corporate blood suckers, the masked thugs hired by ICE, the military industrial complex, they all danced. Their time has come.

Meanwhile, the very rural voters who voted 75-90% to deport nonwhites and didn't like the black lady, are about the get reality jammed up their bums. Medicaid will be destroyed, thus destroying rural health clinics, hospitals and nursing homes. Already in rural Nebraska (no we aren't all hicks here) in a county that voted for Trump 94%, a rural hospital is closing due to uncertainty about Medicaid cuts. More to come. Enjoy your bigotry. It's really fucked you now. Karma.

Alligator Alcatraz. A concentration camp in the middle of the Everglades. A tent city with cages. The "worst of the worst" undocumented will be housed there. Ya know, the field workers, restaurant cooks, the home health care workers, the construction workers, the roofers, the very people who make rural America go. The people who will be housed there, with the mosquitos and the bugs and the humidity, are urged to not escape because "Alligator Auschwitz" is surrounded by gators and pythons and other deadly creatures. And the Republicans laughed and put up signs and hoped for escapes so they could be entertained by the thought of a brown person being killed by gators. 

Meanwhile Trump has offered what is called "owner responsibility" which is fancy term for slavery. You see, Trump's goons take workers off farms or construction sites or ranches and then "sells' them back under "owner responsibility". The owner of the farm, ranch or whatever can have back his workers he paid under the table and not pay them at all now. Corporate America salivates over this concept as their already slave wages become actual slave wages. Nothing. All in the name of "shareholders" or "competitiveness" they will come up with new terms to justify their thievery and human trafficking. These are the moral lepers Trump appeals to.

We once fought a war over this. The concept that human beings could be bought and sold as unpaid slaves. The good guys won that war. 

Unfortunately, I am not sure the good guys would win this time. Theres's way too many people out there busting their ass waiting for the riches that will never come. Blaming the browns and the blacks and the gays and the chicks for fucking up their perceived Fatherland. Sorry rubes, the 1950s are not coming back. The tax cuts for the prosperous have been made permanent. And you aint getting any of it.

Resist

Saturdays Suck Lately!

 Every Saturday for the next 4 years? This nitwit of a President seems to do the stupid stuff on the weekends, whether it be a failed "perade" of out of step soldiers walking along or bombing Iran because he was jealous of the positive Fox News coverage of Bibi Netanyahu bombing Iran. The President, a man desperate to show how much of an alpha he is ( spoiler--Hés not), allegedly told Putin what he intended to do so Vlad could warn the Iranians to get their nuclear crap out of harms way, started saying "two weeks" again, and then once there was zero chance of being effective, launched the raid. As the media all bought the bullshit as they always do, practically ejaculating as they described a "bunker buster" bomb "penetrating" a mountain and then "exploding" all over a hole. Meanwhile, the Four Stooges, Moe (Trump), Larry (Rubio), Curly (Hegseth) and Shemp (Jose  D Bowman) strutted out to announce the bombing. As Moe struggled to read a teleprompter, he suddenly glitched and announced he loved God and God Bless Israel. Then the foursome turned and walked back out. Operation Midnight Hammer (ed) had already started for Hegseth, I'm sure.

The MAGAts mostly fell into line, after screaming about no war with Iran, suddenly became neo cons and little John Boltons praising their Dear Leader. If it wasn't so sad that the cultists continue to be culty, it'd be hilarious. After all, they worship fake alphas.

It's all bullshit as we all know. Iran suffered no damage, the response today from Iran, attacking Qatar (after telling them) and did no damage. It's all face saving of course. Trump has his exit ramp now, whether he will be smart enough to take it is debatable. Iran has its exit ramp, and the world will go back to normal. Kissing Netanyahu's ass on our part and Iran posturing for the crazies on theirs. Lets hope it over, for now.

Senator Mike Lee, the shitposting balloon headed Senator from Utah, is attempting to sell of public lands in the Big Beautiful Bill to create "affordable housing". Excuse me while I vomit. Lee, a despicable toady without a soul, of course has no intention to help nor sympathy for the homeless. This is all a ruse to sell public lands to Lee's donor class to build high end resorts, luxury homes with a view and airports for the rich and famous. Lee's lies are legendary; from his denial he wanted to end Social Security after being caught on video saying that exact thing to his blaming a "Marxist" for murdering two Minnesotans he would probably call that exact thing. Lee is opposed by the Democrats of course, but is also opposed by the former Trump Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke who says no no no. Zinke, who made no sense while serving in the Trump practice nightmare of the first administration, suddenly makes sense. Whether he can be bought off remains to be seen but for now, he's the voice of reason. Lee is a real asshole, perhaps even more so than Ted Cruz, and he needs to be stopped. Let's hope Zinke is the Superman of the moment. Fingers crossed.

ICE thugs continue to harass anybody not white. Last week the raided a plant in Omaha and arrested 76 people, most of whom (75%)  had zero criminal records while the rest had minor traffic charges. I would urge people to read the story right here and then tell me people busting their asses to make a living deserve this. Yeah, they used false documentation to get the jobs, fooled the feds and worked like dogs. But using false SS numbers mean the system gets money and will never pay it out. Hmmm.

I made a trip down 24th Street Saturday here in Omaha. This street is the heart of Hispanic Omaha. Food trucks, flea markets, restaurants, thrift shops, grocery stores. Just last month there was a Cinco De Mayo "parede" full of Republican politicians and Hispanic pride. No, after the ICE raid, it's a paranoid hellscape. Businesses shut down, some locked their doors and won't let anyone in they don't know because of course ICE goons have no uniforms and any gringo could be ICE. It's truly sad to see.

Finally, the Commander in Chief truthed out a nice little supportive screed on Juneteenth, stating Americans get too much time off work, hate holidays, and agree with him that there are too many holidays. Oh yeah, Mr. Burns? I don't know of anyone who doesn't welcome days off after so many work weeks. But Scrooge McDumbass firing off this text on Juneteenth was a first salvo at eliminating Juneteenth as a federal holiday. If he succeeds at that, which he will not, gee I wonder what other holiday he will attempt to repeal next. 

I have a dream, that this jerk off beta male just goes away. ASAP!

Resist every day.

Weird Weekend In America!

Protests, "perades", assassinations, manhunts, US Senators mocking political assassinations, and it ended with a declaration of war by a mad King on blue cities while ignoring the Red States and their field workers, meat plant workers and construction workers. This is America today. Within 72 hours all hell breaks loose and this is an everyday occurrence nowadays in President Chaos's world.

Early Saturday morning a kook, dressed as a cop in a mask and driving a car made to resemble a police car, walked up to a house in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, rang the doorbell and when State Rep Melissa Hortman answered he shot her, her husband and their Golden Retriever killing all three. Yes, I do consider a Golden Retriever a person. The culprit then drove to the home of State Senator John Hoffman, rang the bell, and when answered pumped nine bullets into him and 8 into his wife. The cops showed up, the killer ran back into the house and out the backdoor eluding capture. The manhunt took 36 hours until they caught Vance Boelter in a farm field 3 miles from his house. Good job to the law enforcement of Minnesota.

Who is this guy? The Magats jumped immediately, blaming the killings on the fact there was a vote on healthcare for undocumented people and one of the two voted to take it away. This "proves" a Democrat killed one of their own for that vote. The killer was an appointee to a meaningless board of businessmen by Gov Tim Walz, thus "proving" he was a Democrat. Blah blah blah. Same old shit. Jan 6ers were feds, Antifa, or FBI. Trumps attempted assassin was a "radical left lunatic". The gaslighting never stops with these people. A sitting United States Senator, Mike Lee (R-Utah), posted two tweets mocking the killings on some weird ass twitter account while at the same time condemning it on his official Senate account. The guy is not well and hasn't been for years.

Look, it's common knowledge that Vance Boelter is a right wing nutjob. Ranting about abortion and illicit sex, loved Trump and had a hit list of 70 Democrats in various states in the Midwest, all pro-choice. This isn't that hard. I am not blaming MAGAts. I'm blaming Vance Boelter who just happens to be MAGA. Much like I'm not blaming the left for Luigi Mangione. I'm blaming Luigi Mangione. People are individuals, associated with various groups and political views, and certainly may be radicalized by bad actors, but in the end, it's on the killers. Nobody is going to indict Trump for the killing, though Mike Lee might be looked at. Ha who am I kidding, like Patel's FBI would ever do that. This is one sick society we live in. And its only gonna get worse as long as the bull in the china shop is still there.

Trump's lil 79th birthday "perade", held in DC and featuring a not so happy military presence. Out of step marching (many vets say it was on purpose), squeaky tanks, a guy holding a drone, guys sweating to death in Revolutionary War uniforms, more squeaky tanks, and yawning politicians. The crowd was small, empty stands, empty fields and less than enthusiastic troops. Happy Birthday Donnie. $65 million for an ego stroke. But anyway, congrats on 250 years to the United States Army, which my old man served in fighting Nazis 1941-1946. As far as 79th birthdays go, congrats Donnie, it's amazing the Big Macs haven't done a number on you yet.

No Kings protests took place in all 50 states. They were violence free other than MAGAts showing up at a couple of protests with guns and causing trouble. A man was killed in SLC by a volunteer security person firing madly at a guy with a rifle/ So much for volunteer security. The protest here in Omaha took place across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. This was done in deference to the College World Series, taking place in Omaha. We were there. It was too hot for human existence and being age challenged, we left after 90 minutes or so. I despise Trump, but I won't let the disdain kill me.

In Los Angeles, the protests were peaceful, confined to a two-block radius, and then came the sheriffs on horses playing Wyatt Earp and beating on people, shooting tear gas and causing trouble. Why is it ALWAYS the county sheriffs starting the trouble? They did it here in 2020 by charging people sitting down in the street and beating them up and they did it in LA over the weekend. Sheriffs. Man, why not try and become real cops instead of bitter bullies with power? There is open warfare here in Omaha as the Omaha Police Department has warned the Douglas County Sheriff's Department to stay in their own lane. Seems like our Sheriff, a short little man always dressed in tactical gear, can't mind his own business. They came into Omaha and killed a kid, they participated in the ICE raids, and they are always willing to stick their nose in business they don't belong. The OPD has had enough.

Who hasn't had enough? Trump got his "perade", the protests were massive, and Trump is pissed. So, before even condemning the Minnesota murders, he sent a lengthy insane Truth Social post where he declared war on Blue America. Trump and his ICE thugs will invade LA, Chicago, New York and any other blue city he feels like invading. He wants violence, he wants death, he wants to invoke the insurrection act so he can unleash the American military on its citizens. Trump is a despicable 79-year-old despot out for revenge because he's never been accepted into celebrity society he so longs for. If we let him get away with it, we shall be sorry.

Resist. Never Stop. Our country is at stake.

Brian Wilson And Sly Stone!

The deaths of Sly Stone and Brian Wilson remind us boomers of our own mortality. Chrissakes, if the legends die that means we all are gonna die too. It's a fact that we cannot get away from. Time kills us all. But we still have Sly and Brian's music and it will always make that inevitable demise much less painful.

The Beach Boys. As a literal child of the 60's, how can one not be familiar with the sounds of California. I came of musical awareness not because of the Beach Boys but because of the Beatles and the Monkees and the Doors. The Doors were California to me. The Beach Boys were too slick. Too appealing to girls for me. A Beach Boys concert in the mid 70's at the old Civic Auditorium in Omaha, minus Brian Wilson, made me really a non-fan. The screeching girls, the adoration of friends of mine, I didn't get it. We ended up sitting down on the floor and wished it was over. I secretly had taped the concert for another person who couldnt attend, and when I gave them the cassette they acted like they had obtained the Holy Grail. I'm sure the quality was awful but whatever floats your surfboard I guess. Years and years later, I saw a sort of version of the Beach Boys with Mike Love and Bruce Johnston and it wasnt that bad. I even kind of liked it. My older age had caught up with me. Now I understand the genius of Brian Wilson. Listening to the albums I had previously rejected as tripe, I got a whole new perspective, one of a middle-aged man, not of a rebellious teen into the anti-establishment rock of the Doors and the Airplane. Brian had his problems. But don't we all? We aren't in the public limelight, thus we don't get lied about or ridiculed for our weirdo behavior. In fact, a sandbox in my house sounds kind of intriguing now. RIP Brian Wilson.

Sly Stone. Sly and The Family Stone. Never heard of them. And then I bought the Woodstock album. I bought it for Hendrix, for the Who, for CSNY and for the Airplane. What I got was not only them, but an introduction to the band that blew the place up at 3:30 AM. Sly and the Family Stone did Dance to the Music, I want to Take You Higher and Music Lover. Good lord. Who the hell are these guys? And then I heard "All the Squares go home" and fell in love with Cynthia Robinson (RIP Cynthia). What the hell? It was band of blacks and whites and was pure joy. Much like Santana, the diversity appealed to me. But Sly Stone. With his huge afro and wide smile, who could not love this guy? I wore that Woodstock album out listening to those Sly and the Family Stone songs. Wow, the hits after were so come together y'all who couldn't love it? Everyday People, Thank You, Family Affair, Hot Fun in the Summertime. This was the black Beach Boys. Live life, hate nobody, have fun. Then came the drugs, the crazy wedding at Madison Square Garden, the mohawk, the disappearance. Sly Stone and Brian Wilson were kindred spirits. Both did their own thing, were self-destructive and had trouble living among us peasants.

And now they are both gone. I hope they find happiness wherever they are. Genius is a bitch.
