News and Commentary about the current state of Politics in America. (It's broken.)
WELL. There is not only no "art", and there also is NO "deal" when it comes to Donald Trump. There goes one of our closest trading and military partners,
South Korea. Easy come, easy go. Who needs allies? Who needs trade? Who needs a reputation for keeping one's word, and being respected? Who needs to rise to the challenge of setting the bar for integrity, justice and democracy?
Not Trump. So America doesn...
Trump Regime BS of the Day Report:
Seriously. There is something ridiculous, outrageous, or terrifying that comes out every single day - sometimes several TIMES a day. But today's BS is not only fake, not only will it confuse Americans, it is also going to cause a great deal of unnecessary pain and suffering.
The Wall Street Journal and Reuters have both just reported that Kennedy is planning to announce a link between autism and...
A Nobel Prize if he ditches RFK Jr? Things just got even weirder.
It's all about the Covid vaccine - Trump and RFK Jr have been in a tug-of-war about them. And the bottom line is NOT about our health, but only what LOOKS better for each of them, politically.
Do YOU want a vaccine? Sure. You can get one. Except you need a prescription from your doctor, now. (Ka-ching! Office visit charge).
And then since the CDC doesn't recommend on...
FOX News did not cover the news conference on the Capitol steps by the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Instead it covered a presser held by Trump in the Oval Office, supposedly because his meeting with the president of Poland was SO much more important.
So, important, in fact, that Trump organized a "spectacular" military flyover to "honor" a Polish army F-16 pilot. Oh, a war hero? No. Um, he ...
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
One of the sad, but true, principles of the Trump Administration is to flood the Zone with bullshit. So much news, so much scandal, so much outrageous behavior, so many egregious missteps and cruel actions, so many flat out lies, that we tend to be overwhelmed and forget things that happened a week ago. So this is just your friendly little reminder that they have still not released the Epstein files. Fortu...
Calling attention to a bit of bad news, or an outrageous statement, in a typical news day during the Trump Administration is rather like pointing out a grain of sand at the beach.
But given that tor day is Labor Day one particular item stands out. The giant glowering portrait of Trump, hung on a banner on the department of labor, with the words, “American Workers First.”
It is to laugh.
To say that Trump is putting workers first is l...
DICTATORS ON PARADE!
TRUMP ISN'T GOING TO THE PARTY... Awwwww.
China's President Xi is having his BIG MILITARY PARADE on Monday, and Putin and Kim Jong Un are going. But poor little Donnie wasn't invited.
THAT's OK. Donnie's getting a new Parade of his OWN - so nyah nyah nyah - he didn't want to go to your stinking parade, ANYWAY.
Yeah, President Xi is kinda rubbing Donnie's nose in the fact that NOBODY likes him now. Not Europe and no...
She's been fired. She ain't going.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Susan Monarez was appointed by Trump and confirmed by the Senate only four weeks ago.
And now, Trump and RFK Jr want her OUT. Why? For doing her JOB. Seems they just expected her to gut her agency and rubber-stamp their policies. SURPRISE. She won't.
She refused.
So Kennedy fired her. Health and Human Services (HHS) announced Wednes...
Now it’s time for The Week in Teh Stupid,” where we track and document the most misleading or dishonest statements from the Trump administration. This episode covers the week of August 20th through August 27th, 2025.
Before we begin, a bit of explanation. The term “Teh stupid” refers to a situation where people complain online about stupidity and misspell the word “the.” In the past, on my own Facebook account I have occasionally po...
“Let them die, and "decrease the surplus population."
That is of course a quote of Ebenezer Scrooge from Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” And now we have a host of Scrooges in the federal Government. Starting with the Head Pudding himself, Donald Trump.
Trump is ending grants for medical research and trials, including for cancer, even children's cancer, in universities and hospitals.
He is allowing RFK Jr to end vaccine dev...
IT’S A NICE COUNTRY YOU HAVE HERE. BE A SHAME IF ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED TO IT.
The president of the United States is a grifter. Donald Trump has been accused of using his power and influence for personal financial gain—often described as grifting. These include direct constitutional violations, questionable financial maneuvers, and ethically fraught business entanglements:
He can do this because - surprise - he’s the president. He com...
We have a whole bunch of small stories today, bullet points. I call them bullet points because each one feels like a bullet hitting you. They are coming in rapid succession, so pull up your pants and hold on.

BREAKING - Trump said Thursday morning that hewill join law enforcement officials on D.C. streets Thursday night- outcosplaying Kristi Noem - for a reality-TV- worthy publicity stunt to prove he OWNS DC and the people in it.
Trump is stopping tours of the White House while "his" palace ballroom is being erected in place of the East Wing. Which is expected to be completed ... oh.... in two years, maybe?
We can be SURE - CERTAIN - that...
One of the key factors in the success of our government over the past 250 years is the idea of separation. Certain parts of the government are required to be separate from other parts. And they are not to interfere with each other. "Do not cross the streams."
A powerful and important example of this is in the three major branches of our government: legislative, executive and judicial. Each are co-equal branches. Each perfo...
What the hell am I doing here?
I had not planned on starting a podcast. I was very comfortable, sharing Facebook memes with a line or two of commentary. It was easy. It was quick. It was painless.
But I really doubt it was achieving anything. I also suspect the Facebook algorithm was not kind to me.
But I am outraged at what is happening in this country right now. In fact, I have been outraged since 2015. That’s TEN YEARS now.
So let's...
