April 2nd Has Arrived

   What about Trumpie's tariffs? Have they arrived yet? Hmmm.

Mr. La Pen's Daughter Found Guilty in French Court

     So, we have the popular politician and political leader of the Far right conservatives guilty of criminal activity. Ms. La Pen was convicted of the misuse of EU funds for her own use, campaign funding. Approx. $4 millions of dolars were used for her personal campaign while running for office. 

     She was sentenced to 4 years in prison: 2 of which were suspended , and 2 years of monitored release to a facility. She will be ineligible to run for office for 5 years. Her attorneys will appeal. So much for a Far Right takeover of Europe/France/Germany.

     Her late father, who ran the far right on France for years, forgot to mention about the use of public funds for one's own campaign(s). She now know about this abuse. Will she impart this lesson to her party? Hmmmmm.

Inside View of HHS: Robert Kennedy's Playpen

       Last Friday, March 28, a staff member at HHS, Peter Marks, submitted a letter of resignation from his position of managing biologics. He worked in that FDA division during COVID and helped then Pres. Trump to get Operation Warp Speed up and running.

      Mr. Marks says in his letter that he was willing to work with Mr. Robert Kennedy after he was appointed Secretary by Pres. Trump. He offered to work with Mr. Kennedy to address concerns regarding vaccine safety and transparency. Sadly, Mr. Marks continued: "It has become clear to me and others in the department that truth and transparency are not desired by by this Secretary, but RATHER HE WISHES SUBSERVIENT CONFIRMATION OF HIS OWN MISINFORMATION AND    LIES.

     SO, HERE WE ARE: stuck in a time warp filled with lies promoted as alternatives to facts and scientific truths. Thank you, Senators of the Republican persuasion. Thank you, DJT, leader of those same Republican Senators. The Secretary is now ordering all research on mRNA vaccines to be reported to his office.  Now his office(him) will start spewing forth with orders to shut down this valuable tool that has been one of the most remarkable success stories of the 21st century.

    Red State voters are reveling in the first months of Dear Leaders administration.

     You ain't seen nothin' yet.

 

 

Ukraine Recently

      Remember Ukraine? It was invaded by Russya over 3 years ago in an attempt to take over the country because Mad Vlad needed more elbow room. (lebensraum). After 700,000+ casualties, the Kremlin is getting nervous. However, a change in leadership from Biden to trump has given the Kremlin some hope that Trumpie will pull out American support for the government of Volodymyr Zelensky.

       Time will tell; but in the meantime a media report today describes the American military's support of the Ukrainian military and its defense of the country against the Russyan invaders. The article and photos demonstrate the depth of support that continues. The  HIMARS weapon is noted as a significant factor for Ukrainian forces on the ground. Have a look in NYT.

March Madness Continues Today

      The roster of Final Four participants will be filled out today as two more games are played for 2 more spots. Houston v. Tennessee will be one game, and Auburn v. Michigan St. the other. The winners will play next week against Duke U. and U. of Florida.

Lawsuit Filed for FOIA Request Denial

      The First Amendment Coalition filed a lawsuit this past week after the White House denied a FOIA request for DOGE communications between Musk and his staffers @ the DOGE office.  Hmmm. How interesting.  

When in Doubt, Send in the Clowns

        New information has come out about the details of the operation against the Houthis in the Red Sea region was revealed today, Wednesday. The "pathetic" group of Trump appointees makes the world look over them and to their appointing authority: DJT.

       Sec. of Defense, Peter Hegseth, said that 'no classified' information was included in discussions among the participants attending the SIGNAL chat.  Hmmmmmm. The Atlantic magazine released more information today that counters that statement. The information gleaned from the discussion included time lines for the operation-the bombing of Houthi positions and the timing. Not secret? Not classified? Not worrisome? And then we have POTUS responding that it's not a problem, not an issue, and it's all Joe Biden's fault, or Mr. Goldberg of the magazine.

     I wonder what the pilots of the jets that carried out the mission think of all this? Maybe the media types can go to the USS Harry Truman and ask them, post mission. How would they respond to these questions? Maybe they would be honest and explain their concerns about OPSEC(operational security, a term thrown around during the chat as if it meant something).

     Some of the best comments came from Vice President James Vance. He made sure of his position as anti-Europe and the necessity of making the NATO/EU countries pay in some manner for the US' operation that keeps the Suez Canal fully functioning as a conduit for European container shipping. Ol' Elegy author opposed the timing of the operation, opining that it would be better to wait a month or more, adding he supports the POTUS fully on the decision to go(OPSEC?).

      Reports are coming in that the new subscriber numbers for the Atlantic are through the roof,  as Mr. Goldberg continues to dominate media coverage of the Federal government's predicament.

SIGNAL Group Chat Discussed in Congress Hearing

       The Senate Intelligence Committee interviewed the nation's top leaders regarding intelligence oversight. Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intel was among the group; also Sec. of Defense, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, -F.B.I. Director, and a couple of high -ranking general officers. Instead of a state of readiness discussion, the topic was the group chat now resounding around the globe.

      The Senators wanted answers; they got excuses and handoffs of responsibility. Their finger pointing was directed to the un-appointed 'chat' participant: Jeffrey Goldberg, a senior editor/reporter for the Atlantic magazine. He was invited to join the chat group. He reported in the Atlantic that he attended the group chat that discussed an impending attack on Houthi rebels in Yemen that took place within hours of this chat.  Those officials said that nothing discussed was "classified". This statement, on its face, is a lie. Military operations are classified by their very nature. The information contained therein is viable in real time and can cause untold damage to military committed to the operation. To say otherwise by leaders is to cast serious doubt on their competence and commitment to the security of combat units and the men and women in those units.  

     Perhaps the South African Jackal should be called in to sanitize the group: send them all home on paid leave until such time as the orders can be written that will fire them once and for all. The MuskRat knows how to cut Federal excess and this group represents unqualified simpletons whose lack of experience clearly makes the whole unfit to serve anywhere in the federal workforce.

      Trumpie only  exacerbates the problem by making absurd responses. Many of those responding to questions pointed the finger at Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic. He was astounded that he was invited to join the chat; but he was and he joiuned in to see if it was in fact a group chat. It was, as he reported in the magazine article yesterday.

     Additionally, the special envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, was included in the chat while he was in Moskva, visiting the Rus in the Kremlin. Was the FSB included in the chat? Of, corse. How could they not and be called the FSB?

     Elon: fix this now.

Venezuela Opens the Door: Again.

      So, we get the photos again of deported migrants being repatriated back home to Venezuela. Old Maduro has relented, under Trumpie pressure, to accept deportees air lifted home. What did it take to accomplish this act. Hmmmm. What oil cartel took up the deal and carried it across the goal line? No doubt, a deal was struck by some Muskratee who hand carried the paper work from the White House to Caracas over the weekend.

       The deals are flying off the printer with increasing speed as the 100 Day Period of the 2nd Empire closes in on results. What a circus we have witnessed. Think about how the will of one has become the new norm of politics in North America. Have we seen this before? Not here, but in many other places: Russya, China, old Ottoman, Africa, Old Europe, old Germany, old Italy, etc., etc., etc....

       And now the I.R.S. is getting some action, as in a reduction of manpower. Wheeeeeeee. No more audits; no more tax bills, wheeeeeeeeeee. Freedom from taxation. Who needs taxes? Not us said the billionaires, only 'those' people.

Democrats? Deadocrats.

How About the PANAMA Deal

        So, we now know that Wall St. heavyweight Blackrock has worked a deal for port operations in the former CAnal Zone, now known as Panama. The investment bank signed on with Hutchinson Co. of Hong Kong to buy a majority interest in port ops, east and west ends of the canal. And Beijing-(Xi & Co.) doesn't like this. What can they do about it. Very little as it turns out. Hutchinson & Co. started moving money and ops out of Hong Kong years ago after the billionaire head of the company realized that Xi would be an opponent of good business practice.

       Bye, bye, Hong Kong; Hello any place else. 

Pete Hegseth: Dept. of Suspense Head

        Well, the whole country is laughing, except those in the military who work for the "new" Defense Department 'Boob of the Month'. Pete Hegseth, Sec. of Defense, is on the carpet-not the red carpet of fame, but the  RED carpet of SHAME. The new Boob @ the Dept. of Defense is walking back his crowd chat with other boobs who discussed secret war plans on chat app SIGNAL. Signal developers like the media coverage; MAGA fools don't. as of today. Hmmmmm. How could this serious faux pax be walked back? MAybe if they bribe the editor in chief of the Atlantic magazine they 'll get lucky. Fat chance. This is a once in a career bump up by a magazine editor.

      Ol Pete Hegseth has demonstrated his incompetence, again. And what about his co-conspirators? They're right there with him. Boobs, all. Again, the poor infantry will have to pay the price if push comes to shove. With this cabal of idiots in charge, the military is screwed, big time.

      MAGA will want to change the spelling of magazine to eliminate any confusion with its movement. And Trumpie says he didn't know anything about no signals.

Truth in Advertising

    Ah, realtors: they are ranked just below lawyers for low lifes. In today's WSJ, there's a section with special ads for locations with recent disaster effects. One property is in the Pacific Palisades section on the coast of California. The beautiful home is listed -with photos-as a 4 x 4 home, well appointed.

    It gives the address as  532-N.Las Casas Ave., 90272. (note the 902-- zip code area). The lister is---Zillow, the online realty site.. One problem:

  The home is gone-burned to the ground in the devastating Malibu Fire of recent time. Really? Who would do this? Typical corporate business model.

     Gives the NAR another 'black eye'. Well deserved, too.

Truth in advertising? Not today, Bunkie. Maybe tomorrow, but not today. Given the "new" definition oif truth spewing forth from the White House, we might have to wait awhile for truth to be redefined, again.

March Madness Underway and starts Today.

    Game Time: 12:00 noon EST

Putin Agrees to Stop Targeting Infrastructure in Ukraine

        So, VOVA, former KGB Lt.Col., will now agree to stop blowing up poer plants, and EV charging stations in Ukraine. No doubt some buffoons will trumpet this statement about to indicate the Kremlin Jackal has demonstrated a willingness to talk about peace in Ukraine. Some will acknowledge that this is just Rus Posturing and means nothing. There's no 'there, there'.

       The Kremlin is in a bind: the war initiated by Kremlin scum continues, Rus conscripts continue to die by the hundreds, and progress is measured by how many didn't die today. Volodymyr Zelensky, meanwhile, continues to make progress in Europe to enlist greater support from EU governments in his attempts to thwart the Rus invaders.

       The fictional "Deal Maker" in the White House has talked with Putin, this past Tuesday most recently, and negotiated 'the agreement to stop targeting electrical generating sites in Ukraine. Wow, amazing. We are soooooooo proud.  Maybe now we can expect a breakthrough when it comes to all the children taken by the Rus army units in Ukraine that captured the babies and shipped them home to distribute the captured Ukrainians to sterile Rus peoples who can't produce any offspring because of the copious amounts of state-issued vodka that suppresses free thinking and other revolutionary thoughts(not to mention lack of ability to perform).

     So, the world watches as the Rus continue their onslaught down south.

South African Jackal Not a US Officer

      If you work for the US government in many departments, often you are "commissioned" as an officer. In the military, there are officers and 'enlisted' members. In the Dept. of State, there are civilian employees and 'commissioned' Foreign Service Officers. The 'commissions' are signed by, among others, the President of the United States. A commissioned Foreign Service Officer has a document signed by the POTUS at the time of appointment. This document is proof positive that the individual has some recognized powers and skills essential to the performance of his duties.

     So, now we have the Oranged-haired Baboon stumbling around the White House as the duly elected head of state. Since January 20th, the baboon has appointed various individuals to perform duties pertinent to the assigned role, wherever that may be. We also have seen something new: the Department of Government Efficiency. Ha,, ha, ha, haaaaa. And the baboon in the White House appointed the Mushrat/South African Jackal as the leader. And now we know the truth: the Baboon didn't commission the Jackal; the Jackal has no 'status' as an officer in our government. He leads nothing, officially! He's a "paper tiger" in every sense of the term. Or, as some have described him, he's nothing more than a wandering bumpkin looking for some free publicity so he can sell cars(Tesle's).

    All the childish disruptions that have recently occurred have little if any legal foundation. Federal courts have now issued a dozen decisions and opinions against moves instituted by DOGE. Most of the employees of DOGE have had very little scrutiny since being "hired". Claims of their being vetted are as valid as their boss's appointment to head a 'department'. 

     The populous will continue to deal with the theatrics of the White House baboon as the Musk Rat tromps around, wielding tools as a symbol of his masculinity and manliness, similar to his friend DJT. All those folks who didn't vote for anybody last November are probably wondering what would be different if they had paid a bit of attention to the political situation of 2024. Perhaps things would be different today across the "red" regions of the country. Perhaps not. We'll never know. 

Astronauts Return-Safe and Sound(?)-Maybe

         Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams  and two other astronauts returned to earth yesterday, splashing down off the coast of Florida, east of St. Augustine. The capsule was gently placed on the retrieval barge and the group was gently lifted to the craft.

      So, after a 8 1/2 month exercise in the ISS(International Space Station), Wilmore and Williams will spend the next few days acclimatizing to Mother Earth's environment where gravity will come back into play. Much ado was made of the voyage, not the least of Elon "The Muskrat" Musk involvement. The original space craft used initially was a Boeing unit called Starliner. Upon arrival at the ISS, the Starliner craft developed leaks in its propulsion systems. It was decided that this craft would be too risky to return the 2 recent arrivals. It returned empty on its own without incident. Williams and Wilmore were then included in the regular rotation of ISS astronaut crews. Nine more months to go.

     The two celebrated both their birthdays, Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving. They included many ongoing research projects that kept them very busy, including ISS maintenance. When they returned, they were joined by 2 regular rotating astronauts.

      Now, at ages 59, and 61, their recovery and adjustment to earth will be closely observed. It is known that the body ages more quickly in space.  Fluids build up not just in the extremities, but in various other locations, including the brain. Bone density is reduced due to lack of gravity. It may or may NOT return to normal levels, which could be late life issues for the two. If they aged excessively at the known rate, the two are 10 earth  years older, physically. Mentally, TBD.

Welcome home you two. Well done. Both are former Navy pilots=experienced.

Will the White House Disappear Mt. Tahoma

      As Mayor of Tahoma, I'm charged with keeping tabs on names that include "Tahoma". It is commonly known and accepted that 'tahoma' comes from an indigenous tribal language that translates or was translated to mean "snow-covered", or "snowy mountain", or "mountain peak with snow", or maybe "there's snow up there on d' mountain".

          A few years ago,  Mt. Rainier was named for Rear Admiral Peter Rainier Jr. by his friend, Captain George Vancouver. Vancouver was an explorer who mapped the western coastal regions of North America. The mountain is still considered an active volcano, one of the many that are found along the Pacific Rim that encircle the Pacific Ocean north through Alaska, across the Aleutian Islands, south through the Rus peoples Kamchatka Peninsula, on to Japan(Mt. Fuji), then to the Philippine Islands(Mt. Mayon here), and on to the island nations, ending in Indonesia(home to the remnant Krakatoa,et.al.)

     In the Navajo language, 'Tahoma' means "waters edge". A noted artist, Quincy Tahoma(b.1920, d. 1956 age 35).  Quincy served as a "code talker" in the US Army during WW II. He worked at the Santa Fe Indian school where he developed pastoral landscapes. He established a gallery in Santa fe that he shared with famed artist Harrison Begay. After the war, his subject matter included bloody Indian war subjects and action scenes with Plains Indians. Clara Lee Tanner and Dorothy Dunn considered Quincy to  one of the great creative artists of the American Southwest.

        So, ddespite over 100 years of controversy, the name "Rainier" sticks to the glaciated slopes of the volcano. additionally, the mountain is the most glaciated geologic feature in North America with 26 active glaciers on its slopes.(Will have to verify such a claim these days!).

       So, we have a "name changer" in the White House now, DJT. See claim that the Gulf of Mexico is now the "Gulf of America". Would the MAyor be surorised if Tahoma would be named in the middle of the night as "Trump Town"?  or maybe "Trumpie Ville"?  or "Lago di Trump"? All of this will take 4 years at least to shake out. Meanwhile, keep your eyes on Mt. rainier on the map.(s). 

   George Vancouver's expedition of 1791-1795 on the British ship HMS Discovery explored the west Coast of North America including British Columbia, Alaska, and the Aleutian Islands. Vancouver also was aboard a ship of Captain Cook's 2nd voyage.

HAMAS Pirates Agree to release American Hostage

      The world has witnessed another example of abhorrent behavior by the world's most notorious pirate Group- HAMAS of Gaza. While killing over 1200 Israeli victims on October 7th, they took over 200 hostages to use to further their  warped cause of terrorism. MAny of those hostegs were killed while in captivity while being denied all human rights. So, during this temporary halt to the conflict, HAMAS continues in their heinous crimes against humanity.

     Isreal has little patience with these murderers, but they continue to negotiate while the world watches. President Trump is also watching and waiting. HAMAS is in the crosshairs(shooting term, not hairdressers) of Trump.  He has stated that 'his' patience with terrorists is running short.

    The clock is ticking for Palestinians. HAMAS does not care one bit. 

Steph Curry Sets New Record

    In last night's NBA contest, all eyes were on Steph Curry. Will tonight be the night? He has reached a new number for fans to think about: he has put 4000 3-point baskets in the books. While only scoring in the low teens last nigh(out shot by teammate Draymond Green), he was not too concerned. But finally he nailed the basket and a new high as the only player in NBA history to have achieve this lofty goal. During the post game interview, he acknowledged that he remembers his 1st 3-point basket early in his wonderful career. This means as much, too. 

   Keep on playing, Steph.

Italian Workers Respond to Muskrat Email

          Hundreds of Italian workers in Italy received emails this past week asking them what are they doing on the job. This was sent by DOGE scum at the behest of Trumpie's South African Jackal Elon "Chainsaw" Musk. Many were perplexed as to how they might respond to such a query.

        Hmmmm. Some responded with claims of 'slicing pizza'. Some responded with a question, "right know or yesterday?". But, the more creative types and those jaded by years of dealing with Italy's notorious bureaucracy,  responded with "Ba, fun' 'cul'. " Translated, this oft use and well known phrase among ALL Italians means KISS MY ASS"!

       So, even among Europeans across the Atlantic, workers are familiar with the likes of DOGErs. The MuskRat is reeling after his SpaceX mission to rescue two NASA astronauts at the I.S.S. was scrapped yesterday. They might try again today. If this is scrapped, the Jackal might have to go to Brownsville Texas and fix the computers.

      Oh, and thanks to trumpie and his bizarre economics, the price of 1 ounce(Troy) of gold surged past $3000/oz. A record. Well done, Trumpie and your throng of Bootlickers now running our gov'ment into the toilet.

Columbia

       I.C.E. arrests former student leader at Columbia University where he led protests against Israeli aarmy efforts to eliminate HAMAS terrorists in their GAZA haven. Today, students on campus are gathering in support of "free speech", hoping to cow the already cowed administration. Trump announced he is withholding $400 millions in federal funding because of the schools lack of protections for Jewish students on campus and the unwillingness to control supporters of HAMAS terrorists.

     This is a big win for Trumpie and his goal of stifling Libs everywhere across the landscape. He is just beginning and the academics are trembling in their beds as they wait for the "knock" on the door at midnight. 

     The protest leader/spokesman is a palestinian Mahmoud Kahlil. He is a former grad student at Columbia and has made a court appearance after his arrest. His case for deportation is being promoted by DJT/POTUS. we'll see soon enough how much sway can affect the courts in this case. There's a lot of sway from the Oval Office as we have collectively observed since inauguration day on 1.20/25.

Drones Over Moskva

       The Rus folks got a surprise visit from some Ukrainians this week. The Ukrainians came to visit not in person-too cold in February/March. They came in the form of armed drones controlled fromafar, sent from Ukraine(or maybe not). Russia Today announced the unexpected visits and reported they were unruly visitors who had no respect for local property, damaging many building during the visits.

       The Kremlin voice-Pepe Lavrov, announced outrage at this gesture, while a cease fire is proposed by Putin's Bro trumpie.  Hmmmm. Will the Rus peoples protest-hardly. They remember what happened recently to Alexei Navalny in Siberia-death by starvation and freezing. So, no protests. Maybe the North Korean troops ordered to attack into well-aimed machine gun fire will protest; maybe not.

      Perhaps the EU will consider an offer for peace; maybe not. Will Volodymyr Zelensky offer peace at any price? Hardly. Despite his well televised abuse by Pres. Trumpie and his Boot Licker VP-James Vance, Zelensky continues to lead his country's efforts to repel the Rys Invasion Forces in his country. As Easter approaches, Christians across the world are praying for Pope Francis I and all Ukrainian people, not Putin or any Rus anywhere.

Gavin Gruesom:Podcaster

    Just what the Dems need now: a "new" podcaster. The Dems can't get out of their own way as they try to remain somewhat relevant as they search for a new leader. Good luck with that. Maybe podcasting will launch a pretty face, but it won't be from California. Gruesom Newsom is a known entity and will never advance the Libs cause beyond the California/Nevada border-too much baggage folks. 

       So now his handlers, advisors, sycophants, wives and girlfriends suggested he start a podcast. Be hip; be something, be anything but the Governor of the Left Coast. So: podcaster. And who does he open up with: the South African Jackal's main opponent-Steve Bannon, Trumpie's rejected advisor, the "War Room" podcaster, and ex-con, former leader of Breitbarth Radio. Is Gavin hoping for relevance? No, he's hoping for some clicks. Not happening by any number.

       He can't tout his success in California, not after the devastating fires that ripped through Malibu in the middle of winter. Can you imagine: wildfires destroying lives and property any place in the US in the middle of winter? Well, the property insurance industry has taken a multibillion dollar hit this year that ultimately will be shouldered on the backs of California's beleaguered home owners reeling from huge increases in their insurance costs. Gov. Gruesom announced a suspension of the CEQA Act that called for planning reviews of anything built larger than an outhouse in California, hoping that local planners would speed up plan approvals before  2050(many fire victims have already sold the smoldering sites to speculators).

      Gavin just bought a $10 million dollar estate in Ross, Marin County, where he can hobnob with other techies and bureaucrats(no fires this year).

      Maybe Gavin will report live from Ross, California. Wouldn't that be fun! What will Gavin's audience have to say after a few more podcasts about the Dems' rebounding efforts? Hmmmmmm.            

Gruesom Newsom Flips-Again

      So, the Sacramento Solon- Marin County's Man on the Job in Sacto, has again changed his position. This time in regarding LGBTQ policy. He will no longer support trans children on girls sports teams. Wow-what a flip! Momentous even for a classic flipper/opportunist pol. This sad individual is the Dems answer to DJT. Not exactly the type of pol even calfornia voters would like to see in the White House in 4 years. 

       We have suffered through DJT's 1st term(COVID term); then suffered through 4 years of Sleepy Joe Biden(successfully propped up by his wife-Dr. Jill and a willing Party), and now we must suffer through another 4 year term-"The Retribution Tour".

    Gavin Newsom must lie in bed at night, staring at the ceiling, thinking of the Oval Office and why he deserves that place. What has this man done that gives him confidence that he would make it acceptable to be POTUS? Hmmmm. Delusional thoughts seem to be at a cheap price these days. Newsom was/is a wine merchant.  Foreign policy-he visited Europe once. Family man: got divorced, remarried, has significant offspring in grammar school. Forward thinker-Mayor of San Francisco and didn't do anything to enhance business excepting turning the town into a haven for tech nerds and Twitter/Uber (Now X, but left for Texas).

     So Gavin seems to think that the Dems/Blues will send him on-to somewhere else where he won't have to work for a living. Just show up and look pretty, get paid.  Marin County, 'nough said.

   Back in the box, Gavin.

South African Jackal Spanked by Stumpie

       During the most recent Cabinet Meeting in the White House, the Muskrat berated a sitting member, Sec. of State Marco Rubio, for not doing enough firing of 'excess staffers'. Marco Rubio fired back that his advice was not needed and that as Secretary, he makes all decisions regarding staffing. The Jackal snapped back that he's got license to reduce the Federal workforce as he sees fit.

     At this point, Stumpie interjected with the comment that the agency secretaries have control of their respective employees and that the Jackal is only in "advisory role" at the fake dept. of gov. efficiency. This was a clear slap in the face of the Musk Rat. Musk Rat doesn't  like to conform to orders he doesn't give out. Stumpie also doesn't take orders- he gives them out. Hmmmmmmm.

     Is this the end of the high profile "Bromance" we've been reading about for the last few months? Could be. Additionally, Musk Rat's space company has a little egg on its face. One of his rockets blew up this week during a launch from the launch pad in Brownsville, Texas, and 2 nearby airports had air traffic controllers scrambling to re-route commercial aircraft away from the zone of falling debris. The rocket team was able to retrieve the booster section, again, but the payload section was destroyed after it failed after l;iftoff. This was probably what set off the Jackal's temper during the Cabinet meeting in Washington. This is the 2nd failure during launching by Space X. Musk Rat was having a 'bad' day all around. His detractors were having a 'good' day.

Grifter Imposes Tariffs

   So, Stumpie now wants a 30 day reprieve for auto tariffs on cars made in Mexico and Canada. No doubt, some thoughtful insiders told Stumpie that lots of Repulsicans would be offended, especially those in Congress representing voters in certain states. So the Grifter-in-Chief issued a stop work order to the Tariff Enforcers to have another look see on the auto industry. We call this back tracking; or backlashing; or stupidity; or just plain stupid.

        Stumpie hasn't had an original thought of any consequence in 20-30 years. He has buffaloed observers and followers for decades as he has bluffed, lied, cajoled, ranted his way through media outlets who use his persona to gather sales and onlookers for profits. And now, we, the people, have to live with the results. When will this nightmare  end for the United States? Maybe after Putin croaks; or maybe when Elon croaks; or after Vance croaks; or after Mike Johnson croaks; or......... whenever.

       We(the 1.5 million who voted this nut case into the White House) have only those voters to blame; but what about the 90 millions who didn't vote-do we give them a pass? NO. Absolutely not; those abstaining voters put this Stump into the role where he now resides. Yes, 90 million Americans decided that it was not in their best interest to show up at the polls and cast a vote for America. Shame on you; better yet, a curse on your house----F O R E V E R.

Trumpie Speaks: Who Listens

        My, my, my. Democrats laugh at President Stump.

Trumpie Will Talk: To the US Congress Tonight

     So, tonight, on the day of imposing tariffs on 3 of our largest trading partners (China, Mexico, and Canada), he probably might mention these acts/facts, and spin them to be positive for our economy. However, economists and trade representatives might differ with him.

     So, how many lies and half truths will spew forth from the 'Mouth That Roared". It will be interesting for by now, most republicans are looking for a hiding place from the voters. Those 'flippers', we know them, will be the hardest to find as they scurry about looking for an exit. Some democrats will avoid the  joint session, a gesture sure to make no impression on anybody over 5 years of age. The President will blather on about how he convinced the president of Ukraine that he, Volodymyr, started the war, and as a result must accept DJT's advice and give up territory of his country to the invaders(Mad Vlad & Co.).  Well, now European leaders are venturing forth on their own to deal with this turn of events in the US. The historic contract with the West has been upended by a blowhard/ incompetent boob elected by the slimmest of margins because the Dems didn't show up at the polls. (90 millions of eligible voters stayed home) and America can only look in the mirror and say, "We did it to ourselves".

     What information will he foist on the viewers tonight? It could be some fantasy thought up by James Vance, or Kash Patel, or Robbie Kennedy, head of HHW, or Tulsi Gabbard, head of National Security, or Billy Long, or Emil Bose III, or some Heritage Foundation gopher. Can't wait as the media trips over the words he'll use to mock the USA/Europe/Canada/Mexico/Colombia/Ukraine/ Great Britain/Germany/ France.and others.

     Maybe he'll introduce his plans for tomorrow, given that he can only think ahead 1 day. Maybe he'll mention Elon the Muskrat, aka The South African Jackal. Good Ol' Elon, a perfect fit for anti-Americanism in the White House. What does John Boltonb really think of Elon? Time will tell.

     The Mayor Of Tahoma will skip the speech tonight, I have to rearrange my socks drawer.

 

James David Vance: Yale Product

      So, we have seen the vice president of the USA make a fool of himself on national TV. This is in line with his boot-licking persona developed while attending Yale University, where Donald Trump attended for awhile. James Vance is noted for writing a pathetic memoir about a dysfunctional childhood in an area of the US that is historically dysfunctional. Then he hooked up with right wing crazies who used him to gain a US Senate seat where he could be a member of the right wing Crazy caucus.

        Then Peter Thiel, money bags Pete, funded his advance on the national seen by telling Trumpie that this pawn would be perfect to support voters who think Trumpie is some national savior. Sadly, 90 million would be voters decided to stay home and Trump /Vance won the popular vote, thereby ascending to the White House, Trumpie for the 2nd time.  Vance was on full display kissing the boots of Trumpie as he insulted Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine who came to the White House to discuss terms for an agreement that Trumpie touted as a must -do to guarantee American support for Ukraine at this time of crisis caused by the invasion of the country by Russyan military forces ordered by Mad Vlad of Kremlin fame.

     Trumpie went out of his way to insult the courageous Ukrainian whose country has been fighting on its own for 3 years. A deal was not achieved as Trumpie mis-read his guest who did not fall into line of Trumpie's child-like deal offering.

   So, there was James David Vance mocking this hero along with Trumpie in a despicable display of incompetence, hubris, ignorance, and many more standard dictionary definitions of shitheads, assholes, fools, dickheads, and other commonly used expressions found in the American vernacular used to describe bad actors.

HAMAS: Still a Pirate Org.

     Today was to be the final day of the cease fire in GAZA, to give the pirates time to deliver the hostages taken at the start of the invasion of Israel. Also, Israel would release several hundred of the pirates taken prisoner during the fighting. Included would be dozens of dead bodies of Israelis murdered while in captivity in GAZA. So, the Palestinian scum are talikning while rearming their pirates to take advantage of the Israelis who want their people returned. No peace will be achieved after the exchange is made as HAMAS is still a force. Until they give up their arms and their leadership is rewmoved, the conflict qwill continue.

White House Diplomacy: Act II

         Trumpie and his resident Boot Licker: Mr. Vance, hosted Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House yesterday. The goal: to sign an agreement that allows the USA to mine Ukrainian minerals necessary for strategic industries in the US. All media types were invited to record the events. Cameras were turned on, and Trumpie geared up to make a splash that would be duly noted by the public and his vast array of political croniwes now dependent on his "largesse" with taxpayer funds.

      Within a very short time period, it became evident that Trumpie is an ignoramus of gross proportions and Vice President Vance is right up there with him. The two boobs tripped over each other as they combined to belittle, humiliate, and insult the leader of a sovereign country that has been at war with Vladimir Putin and his thugs for over 3 years. This hero, a man who has endured the effects of total war on his country, has come with hat in hand to the US to ask for continued help to fight this invasion. He even has to endure the recent statements from these two idiots who claim erroneously that Ukraine started this war. That alone is evidence of the mental health deficiencies of the POTUS and VPOTUS. THios may go down in history as the worst display of stupidity in our long history.

     Sad but true the US electorate has put these two pathetic creatures in positions of power. When weill this end? Only time will tell; and as the efforts to shrink the federal government continue unabated, the future does not look good for the country as a whole.
