February 1, 2026: Mr. Blogger has fallen behind badly in his reporting of daily events in this Year X, Month II, Day I, in the Great Chronicle of Donald J. Trump.
Lately, he has been inundated with news from the Epstein Files – hardly a scrap of which is good. Well, not counting the fact that former-Prince Andrew just ended up getting his once-upon-a-time royal ass placed under arrest.
With that apology in mind, let us do what we can, as we pick up the cudgels of the First Amendment, and use our free speech and free press rights to wallop sense (metaphorically only) into Trump supporters.
So far, the wallop-fest isn’t working.
In fact, the cult-like attributes of the MAGA movement appear from an outsider’s perspective to be metastasizing. On “X,” recently, Donald’s fans began posting this Bible-themed picture:
Considering the fact it now costs a cool million (or more) to join the Mar-a-Lago club, I’m not sure this image is based in…
Reality.

MEANWHILE, plans are afoot to install a 15-foot-tall statue, nicknamed “Don Colossus,” at the president’s golf club in Doral, Florida. The bronze monster, gilded in gold, shows Donald Trump holding a meme coin and cost $300,000. Promoters behind a meme coin $PATRIOT hope the money they spent on the Colossus will cause investors to flock to buy the coins, and they (the investors) will become fabulously wealthy – and Donald will always have his statue to gaze upon.
(Some say the statue is only 12-feet tall – but there may be confusion, based on whether to count the pedestal or not.)
Pastor Mark Burns, one of the organizers of the installation event, promises that the president himself will attend the unveiling.

Donald is looking quite plump. |

Gas price magic!
2/3/26: I am trying to be fair, in assessing the president’s success in solving the “affordability crisis,” which he insists he had. So I keep taking pictures of the gas price sign at the UDF store closest to my house. I did blow a chance one day, a month or two back, to snap a picture when the price was down to $2.33 per gallon. By the time I finished running my errands, and came home, it was back up to $2.75.
Today, I stopped to snap this picture:
Meanwhile, Donald keeps telling us that gas is only $2 per gallon at some mythic station just down the road.
But the famous “Trump Math” appears to be involved. For example, this past October, the President of the United States stepped in front of a bank of cameras to claim that gas prices were down 70%, from where they were when on Joe Biden’s last day in the White House. If we figure gas was $3.06 on January 19, 2020, Sleepy Joe’s last full day in office, then a 70% drop would leave stations pumping fuel at 92¢ per gallon, regular.
Here in Glendale, Ohio, the price
drop appears to be closer to 2%. Almost as if no one has ever explained numbers
to this president.
UPDATE: When I passed the station on February 27, gas was selling at $2.49 per gallon, which would be more like an 18% reduction (I did that percentage in my head, so it might be off a percent or two.
(Still nowhere close to 70%.)

Donald slashes the deficit – in his own mind.
2/6/26: One of my favorite Trump promises of all time, almost as good as his “Mexico will pay for the wall,” was when he said, if he had eight years in office, that he could erase the entire federal deficit, built up since the first time George Washington took the oath of office in 1789.
In part, Donald said he could do it by passing huge tax cuts for the superrich – which would “pay for themselves,” and then he would follow up with tariffs in this second term – that nobody in America paid – and other hocus pocus fiscal policies. For example, why not make houses more affordable, by having banks offer 50-year mortgages, that you could even pass down to your kids.
Maybe the grandkids!
Soooooooooooo….
The Congressional Budget Office now reports that federal deficits will increase by $1.4 trillion over the next decade, based solely on Trump’s policies since he sat his buns back down in the Oval Office.
And that’s not counting his budget busting tricks during his first term, which also exploded the debt.
The deficit for Fiscal Year 2025 was $1.9 trillion. The deficit for Fiscal Year 2026 is projected to match that red ink bath. Over the coming decade, the CBO warns that $23.1 trillion will added to the stack of IOU’s we keep writing ourselves.
I’m sorry to say this, my MAGA friends. If you really believe Donald Dumpling is going to reduce the deficit, you should log on to the Debt Clock and watch the dials spin and spin and spin.
At a little after 10 a.m. today, the total federal debt (upper left corner) had hit:
___
2/8/26: Donald has been hard at work hard lately on plans for the nation’s 250th birthday, and that includes soliciting donations to a “Freedom 250” fund raising operation – which money he controls.
If you will hand over $1 million you will have a chance to attend a thank you dinner and have your photo taken with The Dumpling, in all his robust glory.
If you donate $2.5 million you will garner a speaking part during the July 4 celebration, kind of like when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963.
Only with a check for $2.5 million required.
___
2/9/26: A minor note of interest: Two of the three Alexander brothers, Oren and Alon, are standing trial in New York, where they are accused of drugging and raping at least eight victims. That would include at least two underage girls, with alleged crimes dating back to 2008.
Film of one assault, occurring in April 2009, when the victim was seventeen, is apparently available to prosecutors.
During testimony, the 17-year-old might have been describing a sexual assault right out of the Epstein playbook. “She stated that she was working as a model at the time [emphasis added for purposes of comparison],” The New York Times reports, “and that occasionally party promoters brought her to parties and clubs in New York. At those events, she said, people would give her drugs and alcohol, which frequently caused her to lose her memory.”
Plus, the brothers appear in the Epstein Files, as well!
At least one 16-year-old victim in the Files claims she was “lured” upstairs at a party thrown by Jeffrey Epstein, and then allegedly raped by Oren and Alon, while Tal, their other brother, molested a 14-year-old.
And that claimant also suggested that Donald and Bill Clinton attended “big orgy parties” thrown by Epstein.
We can also report that the three Alexander brothers, were invited to a Hanukah celebration at the White House in December 2020.
During Donald’s first try at
president.

WELL, if Team Trump can’t keep young women safe from predators – including members of Team Trump, such as RFK Jr. and Pete Hegseth – at least they can keep us safe from flags!
On Monday, the National Park Service removed the Gay Pride flag from in front of the Stonewall Inn in New York City. It was at that Inn, in June 1969, that a crowd gathered to protest the targeted arrest of gay men – touching off the modern fight for gay rights in this country.
Also removed recently – but then ordered replaced by a federal judge – were panels at the Independence National Historic Park in Philadelphia, which indicated (correctly) that the first president, George Washington, owned slaves, and how not all Americans were thrilled to know that.
According to most historians, George owned at least 123 slaves, that Martha Washington owned another 153, and that 40 others were “rented” to work at the president’s Mount Vernon estate.
(The blogger is an admirer of Mr.
Washington – but he does have a few warts we should not ignore.)
___
2/10/26: Apparently, “affordability” is still an issue – even though Donald insists the word was made up by Democrats as part of their latest hoax. Such as hoax-like numbers showing that U.S. consumers are carrying $1.28 trillion in credit card debt, the heaviest burden on record.
Let’s assume the average consumer is paying 14% interest.
That would mean, in one year, the credit card companies would pocket a little more than $914,000,000,000.
(But don’t worry, we’re all going to get Tariff Dividend checks!)
*
WE CAN ALSO REPORT that the January jobs numbers came in better than expected (so, yay, Dumpling!) with a net of 130,000 people put to work, and unemployment dropping to 4.3 percent.
Trump officials have called the report a “blockbuster,” and touted the president’s policies as a “spectacular” success.
We can also point out that the number of federal employees has been slashed by more than 10%, which Trump fans will tell you is great news (unless one of their relatives working for the Social Security Administration or CDC got the axe).
In any case, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised jobs numbers for November and December, as BLS always does, for two months after they are initially recorded. With November’s report now locked in, and December’s report scheduled for one more revision, we can report that Donald’s job-creating magic was missing in 2025.
If we do the math and stick all the job losses for January in Joe Biden’s column, we find that only 229,000 jobs were added in the last eleven months of the year – with The Dumpling at the helm.
For comparison purposes, note that in 2016, 256,000 jobs were added in March, 247,000 in June, 373,000 in July, and 306,000 in September, and 220,000 in January 2017, when President Barrack Hussein Obama turned over the job to Donald, himself.
(Donald whined and said that he had “inherited a mess.”)
(The man whines quite a bit.)
___
2/11/26: There was a time when Judge Jeanine Pirro was rumored to have a drinking problem. So, someone should probably check up on the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia today.
This blogger would not be surprised if she were to be found passed out at a table in Don Jr’s clubhouse, where members are admitted only if they can afford the $500,000 membership fee.
In any case, Pirro tried to work up an indictment against six Democratic lawmakers who had ventured to suggest that our troops, if given an illegal order, did not have to follow said order. And Donald Dumpling took offense and lost his shit, posting on social media
“Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL.”
Then he suggested they should be put to death – but later backed off from that vengeful comment – not because he knew he was wrong – but because public reaction was generally against him.
Well, then, The Dumpling reasoned, he would just have to order Pirro to indict the half-dozen “traitors” and see what would happen.
The only problem:
The Uniform Code of Military Justice makes clear: A soldier, sailor, etc. does not need to follow an order that a reasonable person would know was illegal. Such as: “Men, we’re going to shoot a bunch of peaceful protesters in the legs, because the President of the United States wants us to open fire.”
Pirro rolled the dice anyway, and Team Pirro slapped together an indictment and presented it to a grand jury and the grand jury essentially said:
“FU. We’re not going to indict.”
“Not even Sen. Mark Kelly,” Pirro pleaded.
“No, FU,” the jury responded.
Sen. Elissa Slotkin, one of the
other targets of a mendacious President Trump, noted shortly after the news
broke, “Today, it was a grand jury of anonymous American citizens who upheld
the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. Hopefully, this
ends this politicized investigation for good. But today wasn’t just an
embarrassing day for the Administration. It was another sad day for our
country.”
FUN FACT: A typical grand jury has 16 to 23 members, and 12 or more must vote to advance the indictment.
Pirro’s work was of such sterling quality that she ended up with zero votes for indictment. Yes. Zero. They could have sent a poodle to court to bark at the jurors, and they would have had the same result:
0 votes.
This continues an alarming trend where Team Trump sycophants at the Department of Justice are involved. Twice, grand juries in Virginia were entreated to indict Letitia James – the New York attorney general behind the case that led to Donald getting 34 felony convictions.
Grand jury said no.
Twice.
A grand jury in Washington D.C. refused to indict a man on a felony charge, after he threw a Subway sandwich at federal agents.
In Chicago, yet another grand jury refused to indict two citizens who were lawfully carrying firearms during an anti-ICE protest, with a lawyer for one of the defendants saying that in all his years of work he had never seen a federal grand jury return a “no bill,” that is, refusing to advance the case.
Then a federal judge dismissed a case against James Comey, former head of the F.B.I., brought after President Trump all but demanded it be filed – because the U.S. District Attorney in charge of the case was illegally appointed.
(Damn that constitutional requirement that the Senate confirm such choices!)
(That illegally appointed individual was Lindsey Hannigan – a former insurance lawyer.)
As The New York Times points out, in 2016, the last year for which the Department of Justice has published records, grand juries were presented with 155,000 cases and refused to indict in:
6 cases.
As the Times explains:
This is
how grand juries were meant to work. The Supreme Court chief justice Earl
Warren once described grand juries as “a primary security to
the innocent against hasty, malicious and oppressive persecution.” John Jay,
our first chief justice, called them “one of the best institutions that
ever was devised for bringing offenders to justice without endangering the
peace and security of the innocent.”
Colonial grand juries often refused to enforce British revenue and sedition laws, including the infamous Stamp Act. The Constitution’s framers enshrined the power of grand juries in the Fifth Amendment. They viewed grand juries not just as criminal case screeners, but as a bulwark against oppressive government.

2/12/26: It was a dull day in D.C. on Thursday. There was nothing left of the East Wing to tear down and kicking the rubble was no fun. Plus, Donald’s base wasn’t all that keen on attacking Greenland – and then all the commotion about the Epstein Files was a pain in the royal orange posterior.
Donald scratched his noggin’ and/or his fat tush and decided he could make the entire world worse if only….
“I know!” he told himself gleefully. “We can have the EPA repeal its bedrock position that climate change endangers human health and the global environment.”
That finding, from 2009, has allowed
the EPA to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse
gases. And all the MAGA faithful and all the nations of the world that agree
with Donald cheered and vowed to keep working to turn the planet into a
real-live version of the Easy Bake Oven.
Yes, indeed, the United States of America stands four-square with three entire other nations that have said, in their own ways, that climate change is not real. Bonus points to any reader who can name numbers 2, 3 and 4, without looking at a world map.
FUN FACT: Going back to 1986, the U.S. has bombed all three, but only two of the three at Donald Dumpling’s command.
As The New York Times explains,
“This is
about as big as it gets,” President Trump said at the White House as a smiling
Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, stood by.
“We are officially terminating the so-called ‘endangerment finding,’ a
disastrous Obama-era policy,” he said.
Mr. Trump called it a “radical rule” that became “the basis for the Green New Scam,” a label the president gives to any effort to curb emissions or develop renewable energy.
According to an official announcement by the EPA, in one swift wave of Donald’s Sharpie pen, he was saving American taxpayers $1.3 trillion in regulatory costs. The Coal Barons and Masters of Big Oil could not have been happier – unless the Trump administration also cut taxes for billionaires – which, of course, it already had.
“Let’s go pollute some air and maybe dump a few million barrels of oil in the ‘Gulf of America’ again,” they said.
(Remember the Deepwater Horizon fun!)
___
2/13/26: Jeremy Carl’s chances of being confirmed by the U.S. Senate to be Assistant Secretary of State for the United Nations and International Organizations took a torpedo today during a public hearing.
Mr. Carl has written or said, for example, that “white culture” in this country is being erased, that this country should remain a “white, Christian nation,” and that Jews, if I might paraphrase, are a bunch of whiners.
“Jews have loved to play the victim,” Carl has written. “The Holocaust dominates so much of modern Jewish history. Jews love to see themselves as oppressed. Everyone has traumas in their past. How much are we going to relitigate them?”
“Hitler,” he insisted, “is always a convenient bad example.”
Carl has also complained that “Anti-white discrimination is the most pervasive and political salient form of racism today.”
He has said that the January 6 attackers on the Capitol were treated worse than African Americans in the Jim Crow era – which should strike even the semi-informed American as an absurdity to utter.
For example, we have the Jim Crow era lynchings:
 |
A Jim Crow-era lynching. |
In fact, poor Mr. Carl is afraid that “whites are victims of cultural genocide.” He is a firm believer in the “white replacement theory,” that says the Democrats want to bring in more black and brown people and take over the country that way. About the only racist trope he hasn’t brought up is the old-fashioned claim that miscegenation will pollute the blood of the white race.
But he tippy toes close to the line.
(Since the president himself refers to dark-skinned Somali immigrants as “garbage” and countries full of dark-skinned Haitians and Africans as “shitholes,” no one should be surprised if Mr. Carl really loves white people.)
___
Billionaires behaving badly?
2/14/26: Deep into the cesspool that has been Donald J. Trump’s second term in office, I believe all Americans – even those who love The Dumpling – can agree. One of his signature moves is working magnificently. As in the new GOP healthcare plan for ordinary Americans…
Okay. Not that one.
I mean, of course, tax cuts for billionaires – and with those cuts, Donald has promised, the U.S. economy will boom. In fact, those cuts will “pay for themselves,” and the deficit will disappear, like ice melting in Greenland.
No ignore that promise, too.
In fact, I mean this glorious news. In December, the Wall Street Journal noted that billionaire wealth had reached the highest level ever – and that the pile of loot owned by 2,900 people had climbed by $1.8 trillion in just one year.
That is: from $14 trillion to $15.8 trillion. Or put it another way, the average billionaire last year saw his, her or “they” wealth increase by $620,689,655.17. Then again. We’re no longer minting pennies.
So, only .15¢, there at the end.
*
The Ten-Digit Club.
WHEN DISCUSSING billionaires, the numbers can be confusing, but both the Journal and CNBC agree that billionaires now control $15.8 trillion. And both sources agree that 287 new billionaires were minted last year, thanks to President Trump’s valiant efforts to help the little guys in red hats afford eggs.
Well, forget the eggs. CNBC has far more exciting news to report. As the last days of 2025 faded into history, we learned that there were now 2,919 members of the Ten Digit Club, including 860 lucky individuals who did nothing more taxing (physically, we mean) than to inherit their plunder.
America’s 924 billionaires did even better than the superrich in countries like China and Russia, with the combined wealth of our billionaires rising by 18 per cent, to $17.5 trillion. Or so CNBC said.
Well, you can’t fool me! I had a D- average in Algebra II. I did a double take after glancing at CNBC’s report, which had America’s billionaires controlling more cash and assets than all the billionaires in the world, including themselves.
I checked Fortune magazine for help and noted that they said America’s 924 fattest cats controlled a measly $7.5 trillion. So, CNBC had a typo, I guess. And then came a touch of sadness for these folks. According to Fortune, citing the Swiss bank, UBS (Motto: “We’ll do business with anyone, including Ghislaine Maxwell”), the U.S. saw eighteen members of the Ten-Digit Club fall out of the billionaire class into the Nine-Digit Loser’s Guild.
No doubt, those poor saps have trouble walking out their front doors and being mocked for their threadbare clothes and broken-down footwear.
You can find other numbers, like Oxfam’s report that the Ten-Digit folks now control $18.3 trillion and that their piece of the Wealth Pie surged by $2.5 trillion in one year. That slice of banana crème pie would more than equal the share of the bottom half of humanity, or 4.1 billion people on this earth.
Oxfam also pointed out that – just as Jesus would have wanted – a billionaire has 4,000 times better chances of holding political office than a poor dolt like me.
Or, I am guessing, than almost every rank-and-file member of the Trump-loving, Trump-worshipping MAGA crew.
*
Ten-Digit Club members who are also in the Epstein Files.
IT WOULD SEEM to me that if you were a billionaire, you would have a lot of loose change – and so you could spend it any way you liked, including on lawyers, if you ever got caught in compromising activities. So, let’s look at a few members of the elite Ten-Digit Club who are in the news lately. There’s Donald, himself, whose wealth jumped $3 billion in just one year, to $7.3 billion – which just so happens to be a year in which he yanked all the levers of power that he could.
(I know many of my MAGA friends are proud to announce that Don sacrifices his presidential salary every year – pretty much gifting back the $400,000 taxpayers would have had to shell out to support him.)
Then again, I am no dope, and if we divide 400,000 into 3,000,000,000, and make life simple by knocking off five zeroes (4 divided into 30,000, which is also equal to 2 divided into 15,000, or 1 into 7,500) I think we will all agree that The Dumpling is doing just jim-dandy as it is.
Finally, since our topic for today is “billionaires and their pie slices,” let’s mention a few other billionaires in the news. You have Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and he’s doing better than good.
All of the following have now
been exposed, to greater or lesser degree, in the Epstein Files.
We’re going to kick it off with Mr. Lutnick because his denial of ties to Jeffrey the Pedophile was so emphatic.
(Lied about when he cut ties with Epstein.)
Then there’s Steve Tisch:
(Epstein offered to bring a Russian girl to meet him. He asked, “Is she fun?”)
Then include Andrew Farkas (no cool graphic found)
2.3
billion USD 
(Called his friendship with Jeffrey a “blessing.”)
Toss in Reid Hoffman:
(None other than Donald Trump has called for Hoffman to be investigated.)
(Pot calls kettle?)
Sir Richard Branson:
(Sarah Ransome, an Epstein victim, says Jeffrey had tapes of Branson.)
And Glenn Dubin:
(His wife was Epstein’s “true love.” Glenn has been accused of raping a victim.)
And John Paulson:
(Paulson has donated heavily, hoping to thwart Rep. Thomas Massie’s reelection.)
(Massie is a leader in Congress, demanding Epstein investigations.)
(Has been accused of sexual assault by one of the victims.)
There’s also Ronald Lauder:
(Ties in the art world with Epstein; I’m still checking on his story.)
And Thomas Pritzker:
(He, too, has been accused of sexual assault.)
And don’t forget this big galoot:
7.3 billion USD 
(He has been accused of rape of a 13-year-old.)
(Even Donald has to admit he used to say Jeffrey was “a great guy.”)
(The current president is named in 1,739 Epstein Files documents.)
(Donald J. Trump is named in 122 more.)
We would be remiss if we forgot to include Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, an Emirati businessman:
7 or 8 billion USD 
(Seen in the Files talking about “sampling” women on his yacht.)
Give it up for:
(Sought out meetings with Epstein; had at least five scheduled, 2013-2016.)
(Not necessarily criminal – but his firm, denied such meetings ever occurred.)
And Les Wexner:
(Wexner was named as a co-conspirator in an indictment never filed.)
(He once gave Epstein power of attorney over his finances.)
(Being named a “co-conspirator” is never good.)
And Mikhail Prokhorov:
(It would appear Epstein set him up with a girlfriend.)
(That girlfriend sought advice from Jeffrey about how to proceed.)
Josh Harris:
(Ongoing business ties to Epstein.)
And let’s not ignore Mr. Black!
(Leon has been accused of rape; may have been blackmailed by Jeffrey.)
(Asked Epstein for advice on how to deal with an ex-girlfriend.)
Don’t sleep on Peter Theil!
(Epstein called Thiel “a great friend.”)
(Thiel was “outed” as gay, by the website Gawker. He put the site out of business.)
(Gawker first published Epstein’s black book –
including notations purportedly pointing at guilty individuals.)
(That version of the book can no longer be located on the internet.)
(More recently: Thiel bankrolled J.D. Vance and his rise in politics.)
And Bill Gates:
(Visited Epstein’s Paris apartment where a stable of girls was kept.)
(Epstein tried to blackmail Gates.)
Plus, Mark Zuckerberg:
(His photo shows up in the Epstein Files – in a meeting which included Elon Musk.)
(Photo likely taken by Jeffrey Epstein.)
(Epstein hints that Zuck attended a “wild party.”)
Plus, Sergey Brin:
(Visited Epstein’s island at least once, had close contacts with Ghislaine Maxwell.)
(Like: Sexual?)
(Arranged dinner at Epstein’s NYC mansion.)
Well, then, we have:
(Elon says he “REFUSED” to go to Epstein’s island. He capitalized the word.)
(Emails show he asked to come.)
(Elon and his brother had extensive contacts with Epstein.)
(Kimbal Musk was hooked up with girls by the sex-trafficker.)
(So, there’s your quick rundown for today.)
___
2/16/26: Today, all Americans celebrated Presidents’ Day, and toasted Millard Fillmore and William Henry Harrison, and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison who – admit it – you did not actually remember were presidents.
I think you could argue that Mr. Trump’s day was especially good, after he learned that Sen. Tommy Tuberville wanted the day to be renamed “President Donald J. Trump Day.” Also, Tommy wanted to see Donald’s stone scowl gazing down upon tourists from Mount Rushmore.
*
NO ONE HAD THE NERVE to tell Donald the bad news, however. It turns out, the blogger is not alone in his assessment of this president. In one recent poll 12% of Americans said they thought Trump was the best president ever. (Better than Fillmore?) Another 21% told pollsters they thought he was “better than average.”
Sadly, the most popular choice, at 40% was, “The worst president in U.S. history.” Another 12% said Don was “worse than average.”
Somehow, one out of every five Americans said they had no opinion. I would compare this to having no opinion if given a choice: “Which do you prefer to eat: Donuts or dog poop?”
___
2/17/26: The Trump Organization (motto: “We’ll fleece the country, while you stand there gaping.”) has filed for a trademark “on airports and dozens of related things found there, from buses shuttling passengers to umbrellas and travel bags to flight suits.”
This comes after the bozos in the Florida legislature move to name the Palm Beach airport after Donald – not to mention the dispute (drummed up by Donald himself) over funding for a tunnel between New York and New Jersey – and the other dispute (also drummed up by Donald) for funding at the Dulles International Airport in Virginia. The president believes firmly that since he is the greatest president ever, and since Congress has already allocated the funds, that he should get the tunnel and the airport named after him, because he is a very humble man, considering his greatness.
Also, Trump Umbrellas will be
coming soon to the Trump International Airport in Virginia. Also Trump Burger
restaurants (where the “Donald Burger” will come with a side of “Melania Fries,”
and ketchup will be the only condiment allowed), and Trump Gift Stores, where
only books written by Trump Family Members will be sold. The new Trump Dollar
Coin, coming soon, will be required for all payments,
including for all flights in and out of the airport.
(Expect the Trump Family to trademark the coin, too.)

IN OTHER UNDEMOCRATIC NEWS, the University of North Texas has pulled an exhibition of artwork by a Mexican-born artist, Victor Quiñonez after one week. “Not from Here, Not from There” had been scheduled to run for three months,
His sin? Too much nudity?
Crappy work?
Nope: He included material that stood as a protest against ICE, an agency he labeled as “Immigration and Cruelty Enforcement.” (ICE motto: “We’ll shoot you, even if you are a U.S. citizen, if we want to.”)
That motto joke is the blogger’s.
Faculty at North Texas were not amused. In a letter to school administrators they asked how “the removal of legally protected artistic expression” advanced student learning.
“Universities exist, at their best, as places where ideas are encountered rather than concealed,” they stated. “Art, particularly art that engages questions of identity, belonging and lived experience, is not ornamental. It asks something of us. It invites reflection, disagreement, curiosity and growth. These are not disruptions to be avoided; they are central to the work of education.”
(Thirty percent of students at North Texas identify as Hispanic or Latino.)

2/18/26: How bad is Donald Dumpling doing in the polls these days? Well, we’re glad you asked. RealClearPolitics continues to collect the numbers – and The Dumpling’s approval rating is definitely slumping.
Trump’s sycophants don’t dare
deliver bad news. So, you know which poll they’re going to tell him about.
___
2/19/26: As of today, I think we can all agree that the Epstein Files are “really boring stuff,” and everyone knows the Files prove Donald Trump is totally innocent, and it was all “a big Democratic hoax!”
Wednesday, the president Made America Great Again when he made the bold decision to release all the U.S. government files….
On ALIENS! Unredacted! Unlike the Epstein Files!
In fact, he knew we’d all be so excited that he posted on Truth Social, that he was ordering the Department of Defense/War to let the public see all materials “related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters.”
Yes. “Extremely interesting.”
“And important!”
P.S. Also on Wednesday, in case you missed it, the British government arrested former Prince Andrew – the brother of King Charles – basically because his name is splattered all over the Epstein Files.
(Nice try, Donald Dumpling. We’re still calling for a real
investigation.)
Anything else Donald did today that should appall even his loyal supporters? You would think. At a rally today in Georgia, where the president wanted everyone to know he had created the greatest economy ever, he mused about awarding himself a medal. And not just some participation award.
The Big C.
Reminiscing about a trip he took in 2018, he informed the audience,
“I decided to go to Iraq. I was extremely brave. So brave in
fact that I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor. I said to
my people, am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor? And
you know, I’ve given out so many to guys that are seriously brave. I mean, they
come in and their arms are missing, their legs are missing. Their stories are
so unbelievable. And I said that’s a little stretch if I gave myself one.”
Then, he added, “Someday I’m going to try. I’m going to test the law,” he said. “Maybe I’ll win in court after everyone sues me.”
(A “little stretch?” The guy is a fat f**king moron.)

“Rhetoric intended to intimidate judges.”
2/20/26: In a 6-3 ruling today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s signature tariff plan – essentially ruling that he lacked the power to slap tariffs on any country, any product or service, and at any percentage, whenever he liked.
Such as on a bad day, when Melania refused to sleep with him – which is apparently every day.
Naturally, the president took defeat with the usual grace he shows at these moments.
He let rip. First, he labeled the “Democratic” appointed justices “a disgrace to our nation.” As for the three “Republican” judges, two of whom he picked for their seats, he referred to them as “fools” and “lapdogs.” Frankly, he added, he thought those justices were “an embarrassment to their families.”
And, of course, Donald had to project. Since he knows how easily he is moved by a chance to grab more money, he assumed that the six judges in the majority were “swayed by foreign interests.”
Did he have evidence that the judges were corrupt? He did not, because he is Donald J. Trump, and his fans don’t care whether he tells the truth or just babbles endlessly.
With good reason, the New York City Bar Association condemned the attacks:
In his
2024 year-end report, Chief Justice John Roberts warned of the grave risks to
our democracy posed by rhetoric intended to intimidate judges for performing
their constitutional duties. While recognizing that fair criticism of judicial
opinions is a valued and protected feature of our republic, the Chief Justice
drew a clear distinction between principled disagreement and personal attacks
or unfounded allegations of political bias. As he wrote, “[a]ttempts to
intimidate judges for their rulings in cases are inappropriate and should be
vigorously opposed.” Chief Justice Roberts further cautioned that public
officials must be mindful that intemperate statements about judges may
prompt dangerous reactions [emphasis added] by others. …
…Statements from the President that portray judges as corrupt, disloyal, or enemies of the nation normalize hostility toward the judiciary and erode public confidence in the fair and impartial administration of justice. President Trump’s statement that Justices Barrett and Gorsuch are “an embarrassment to their families” is particularly irresponsible given attacks on family members of judges in recent years, including the 2020 murder of Judge Esther Salas’s son and the wounding of her husband.
If any president can truly
intimidate the courts – or, intimidate the free press – or chill free speech,
as with comedians and even pollsters – we are indeed in very dangerous
territory. If a president can manage all of these, we are listening to the
first peels of the bells announcing the death of freedom as we know it.

2/21/26: We can report today that there is nothing to report, related to Donald Trump’s brilliant plan to end the war in Ukraine in one day, even before he took office. It is now Day 476, since Donald won the 2024 election, that being the day when he promised the clock would start ticking, and you could set your alarm clock, because that war would be over in 24 hours.
In fact, Donald made that promise at least 53 times. He would end the war – even before he took office.
Because the world loved him and
respected him and everyone in Greenland wanted to start wearing red MAGA hats.

HAS ANYONE seen F.B.I. Director Kash Patel lately? No? Well, he’s probably up to his pop-eyes in Epstein Files, trying to figure out who he’s going to arrest first.
What?
You say he flew on an F.B.I. jet to Milan, so he could watch Olympic hockey, because he’s a big hockey fan?
Well, he did; but don’t worry. A spokesperson for the Agency tells us that Kash is in Italy strictly on business – to talk to Italian law enforcement. He just happens to plan to go see the hockey playoff games while there.
I guess this beats the time he used a $60 million government jet to fly to State College, Pa., to see his girlfriend sing the National Anthem at another event, and stuck taxpayers with the tab.
When Patel got caught that time, he reportedly fired the official in charge of the Bureau’s fleet of aircraft.
And is this creepy? President Trump now has a banner flying at the Department of Justice:
At the bottom of the banner is the slogan, “Make America Safe Again.” I think the next step is cool armbands and a new Trump Youth Group.
I’m getting that vibe.

WE CAN ALSO REPORT that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s plan to bring back measles is working great, as he continues to tell everyone that vaccines will make you grow third eyes. As of today, we are enjoying a boffo run of … measles.
With 982 cases reported already,
2026 promises to be worse than 2025, which (good job, RFK Jr.) was, by far, the
worst year since 2000, when the disease was declared eradicated in this
country.

Trump healthcare plan finally ready.
2/22/26: No way of knowing where President Trump came up with this idea – but he finally has a healthcare plan ready for…Greenland. Sunday, he decided to send a U.S. hospital ship, the Mercy, steaming north from Louisiana.
He would supply the people of that island with free medical care – and show them what they are missing by not succumbing to his charms and begging to jump in line ahead of Canada to become our newest-and-least-populous state.
We should point out for the most clueless citizens among us, that Greenlanders enjoy free medical care, from the pediatric ward all the way up to any time spent in nursing homes, as is true in Denmark.
Well, F-them. We have more
billionaires.
*
If the numbers of billionaires and measles cases are rising, we must sadly report that our nation’s standing, as measured by Transparency International, related to public corruption, is sinking.
It’s kind of a Trump Thing.
With Donald in charge, we have fallen to 29th place, in terms of our ability to handle public corruption. We get thumped, for instance, by Denmark (#1), Uruguay (#17) and Barbados (#24).
We do, at least, beat China (#76), Mexico (#141), Russia (#157) and Somalia and South Sudan (tied, dead last, at #181).
Not only did we drop one spot, our score fell to 64, our lowest rating ever, with “100” representing “very clean” and “0” representing a “give-us-your-money-or-we-will-shoot-you” form of government. Mexico, for example, where drug cartels often rule, scores 27. Haiti scores 16. Venezuela scores 10, but not “10” as in hot.
Somalia and South Sudan rack up 9 points, each.
During Donald’s first term, the United States dropped eight points, from 75 to 67. So, you could say we’re probably looking at another period of steep decline. For context, Canada finished in 16th place in 2025, with the same score we used to have when President Obama left office.
(Canada, soon to become our newest, more-corrupted state.)
As reported by Newser,
“We are
very concerned about the situation in the United States,” Transparency
International CEO Maira Martini says, warning that the downward trend “might
continue.” Forbes notes that the
current rankings don’t even include anything that happened at the end of last
year and early this year, a “particularly chaotic time” for policies of the
Trump administration.

2/23/26: donald
j. trump continued to take defeat at the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court with the equanimity we have learned to expect. That
is, he announced that until further notice he would be labeling the court the
“supreme court (using lower case letters for a while based on a complete lack
of respect).”
___
2/24/26: President Trump’s first State of the Union Address of his second term is in the books, and Mr. Blogger will start off by admitting he did not choose to watch the performance.
No doubt, Republicans will say it was the best speech ever given by any human, living or dead.
A few tidbits I did pick up by reading (that way, I can see what Trump said, without listening to his grating voice):
Longest State of the Union Address ever – Rounding up slightly, Trump kept talking for 108 butt-numbing minutes. His favorite topic? The greatness of Donald J. Trump. Really, he could have talked about his greatness all night and still not have told you how great he really is, which is immeasurably so.
(That is the longest State of the Union Address going back to at
least 1964.)
Trump also forced Congress to sit and listen as he babbled on for 99 ½ minutes on March 4, 2025, giving him the top two spots for longest BS session. Trump now holds five spots on the Top Ten list of longest talks at #1, #2, #5, #6, #8. Bill Clinton holds four of the other Top Ten spots. Joe Biden’s 2023 address clocks in at 73 minutes, good for tenth place on the Hot Hair list.
I did notice, during a brief listen, that Donald promised to start a retirement program for all workers – promising that the U.S. government would kick in a $1,000 contribution ever year, to match the workers’ contributions – if any. Not a bad idea; but can we be honest. The federal government is going broke and Donald doesn’t give a damn, as long as he can keep a grip on the levers of power.
We can also report that Trump is now hawking expensive watches – and you can see him on commercials for those fine timepieces, on Fox News.
This “red beauty,” as Donald tells fans during a commercial, can be yours for only $499, and I think we can say that it will go nicely with your Gold Trump Phone, also yours for $499, but (so far) badly delayed in shipment.
Almost like a scam.
You can “pre-order” a Presidential Blue piece, for $699, you can go First Lady Violet, at $499, you can go Victory Winner 18K Gold Plated for $899, but the First Lady Confetti Jewel, at $1,199 is sold out.
And the Inauguration Jewel model is also sold out, at a cool $1,499. In fact, I see you can even pay using bitcoin, if you prefer.
I had heard that at least one model was selling for $100,000, but when I scanned the website (because what liberal blogger doesn’t dream of acquiring an expensive Donald J. Timepiece, I couldn’t find it.
So, I will quote the Pensacola News Journal which says, yes, such an offering did exist, or still does, and also that they had turned up a cheaper choice for only $2,999. (We also learn by reading, that the company selling the devices has paid the president under a “Name, Image, and Licensing” deal.
Which brings us next to Donald Dumpling’s tired ranting during the State of the Union Address on Tuesday. “Affordability,” he insisted with a sneer, is a made-up problem now that all good Americans understand they live in a “golden age” of great time-keeping choices, and part of “a dirty, rotten lie” pushed by Democrats. In fact, those Democrats hate expensive watches, not to mention America. During his long-running ramble across fact and fiction, the president took time to say of his opponents, “These people are crazy. I’m telling ya, they’re crazy.”
In case any viewers at home were still awake after listening to nearly two hours of Trumpian boasting and blather, he added, sarcastically, “Boy oh boy, we’re lucky we have a country with people like this – Democrats are destroying our country, but we’ve stopped it just in the nick of time.”
(Ha, ha, “nick of time.” Makes me want to fork out $2,999 for a watch.)
There were, of course, memorable moments. The U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team was honored after winning the gold; but the women’s version, which also won gold, was not in attendance. (At least partly because Trump had been caught on video saying he’d be forced to invite them to the White House – or he’d be impeached.)
Personally, I enjoyed the moment where Rep. Al Green, a Texas Democrat, held up a sign that read, “BLACK PEOPLE AREN’T APES.” This seemed like a solid statement to make, but a number of GOP lawmakers were offended. Sen. Markey Mullins, for one, tried to snatch the sign out of Rep. Green’s grasp, but Green was too quick for him – but did soon get ejected from the proceedings.
I, for one, am left wondering. Was Sen. Mullins offended because he did think black people were apes?
With today’s version of a once great party, you can never count core racism out.
It also caught my attention when Donald Trump brought up the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska by – of course – some repulsive illegal immigrant. Point made, Donald. We all need to hate on all immigrants.
Iryna should be alive today, to enjoy the coming of another spring, and her mother could be seen, at that moment, weeping in the House chamber, where the president spoke. But call me a dope, I guess. Or “crazy.” I would say that Zarutska’s murder was a true horror. I would also say that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – resulting in the murder of tens of thousands of Ukrainians, is an equal horror, only multiplied many, many times.
I might also mention that people I know, many of whom find Trump to be a repulsive political specimen, believe that we should also care about individuals shot and killed by masked ICE agents.
So, yes. I believe we should be supporting Ukraine, not kissing up to Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian ass.
A few other notable moments. Trump said he would “never” allow Iran to get nuclear weapons – which problem, I thought, had been solved when we “obliterated” their nuclear weapons production facilities not so long ago.
And I really, really, really enjoyed the president’s latest plan not just to reduce the federal deficit – which was ballooning as he spoke. No problem! He was going to turn J.D. Vance loose. Vance would tackle the “corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation” and occurs, oddly enough, only in blue states.
A miracle, of sorts.
“He’ll get it done,” Donald promised. “And we’re able to find enough of that fraud – we will actually have a balanced budget overnight.”
Good God! It was just the latest example of “Trump Math,” and one of many, where actual numbers go to die. Trump Math is where drug prices drop by 1500%, where gasoline prices per gallon are currently down 70% since he took over, where finding blue state fraud is going to erase a $1.9 trillion deficit – which we are projected to run in Fiscal Year 2026 – and you can buy a watch hawked by a real, live President of the United States.
I think it’s safe to say that Donald and all his family members, and all his bosom friends are doing great, in terms of “affordability,” and if you’re not, you are just part of the problem, I think.
Probably, you’re “sick.”

2/26/26: Hey, how are we doing with the release of every stick of the Epstein Files? Not so good, If you haven’t noticed.
Multiple news outlets have been digging into the same story – that specific files in the Files have not been released.
We know, if we are keeping up with news about the Epstein Files, that all kinds of disgusting behavior, not to mention felonious sexual abuse of all imaginable kinds, have now been revealed.
Heads have been chopped off (metaphorically), all around the world, as ordinary people and the free press dig deep into the morass. But not Donald J. Trump’s head. Nope. Not a single hair has been mussed! According to White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson, The Dumpling has “been totally exonerated on anything related to Epstein.”
(I am worrying, frankly, whether Ms. Jackson might be illiterate or not.)
Look, I’m no fan of Donald, obviously; but I’ve spent a couple of hundred hours delving into the Files. I am not one to pronounce guilt, not on Mr. Trump, or Mr. Clinton, or Mr. Elon Musk, or Mr. Kimbal Musk, his younger brother. I’m not sure Mr. Leon Black, or Mr. Bill Gates, or Mrs. Glenn Dubin committed any crimes. I am sure of this. No one whose name appears hundreds or thousands of times in the Epstein Files has been “totally exonerated.”
If you say that they have, you almost have to be lying.
Now, it turns out, that a certain set of files are missing, namely documents related to at least four F.B.I. interviews with a woman who came forward in July 2019, soon after Jeffrey Epstein was finally arrested and charged with federal crimes. Agents followed up on her claims in August and October, and would have taken notes (all missing, so far) and filed reports (all but one missing, as well).
We do know that the alleged victim said she was repeatedly raped, sometimes violently by Epstein, back in the 80s, when she was only 13 to 15. No one would doubt the Epstein was capable of any kind of sexual crime – but the victim also claimed she was violently assaulted by a young version of the current President of the United States.
This victim claimed she did not know who Epstein was, until he was arrested in the summer of 2019, when a friend sent her a picture – which she told F.B.I. agents she had kept on her phone. What we do know is that agents said it was a widely-distributed photo of Donald and Jeffrey together. When she was asked if they could take a picture of her phone, showing the picture she had been sent on her screen, she asked that President Trump be cropped out. Her lawyer, who sat in on the interviews, interjected, explaining that his client “was concerned about implicating additional individuals, and specifically any that were well known, due to fear of retaliation.”
Was her claim corroborated in any way? We don’t know, because we don’t know where all the Files are. The New York Times notes that a lawyer who used to represent the woman in a lawsuit against the Epstein estate declined to comment. That suit was later dropped; but court records do not reveal whether she was compensated or not.
Hard to assess the truth of this
woman’s accusations when the public records are clearly incomplete.

Problem solved: Eat more liver!
2/27/26: The stock market ended the month with two bad days, diving more than 500 points Friday on hot inflation news. The Labor Department announced that the producer price index rose 0.5% in January, with an annual increase of 2.9%.
The core PPI, which excludes food and energy, climbed 0.8% on the month and 3.6% year over year.
This liberal blogger is not going to kick Donald Dumpling while he’s down; but he’s running into some of the same problems as his predecessor – and Donald delighted in kicking Joe when he was down.
Many of the forces that drive inflation are beyond the power of political leaders to control. But one bold member of Trump’s cabinet has a solution for all Americans who are struggling with rising grocery prices.
Eat more liver!
RFK Jr., often seen touting measles, today explained that while beef prices were indeed very high, you could always eat “cheaper cuts,” such as liver. Don’t be buying porterhouse steak, he said. Buy a pound of gristle!
Also
cheap: weasel meat.
 |
RFK Jr. seen gasping at the price of weasel meat. |
Beef is not. Between January 2025 and January 2026, the average pound of beef rose in cost from $5.54 to $6.75.
That is an increase of 23.6%.
(I hope I did the math right.)
(Then again, my math is always going to be better than President Trump’s.)
During his State of the Union Address on Tuesday, a confident but clueless president declared, “This is the golden age of America,” Donald Trump boasted. “The roaring economy is roaring like never before.”
Several new agencies decided to poll average Americans, to see if they were hearing all the roaring.
A Reuters/IPSOS poll found that
68% of adults disagreed with the statement: The U.S.
economy is booming.
FUN FACT: Did you know that a survey was done on which foods Americans hated the most? Well, good news. There was. Four out of every ten persons polled said they “hated” liver, and another good chunk of the population said they “disliked it.” We should probably include the 8% of respondents who said they “weren’t sure” about liver – which I think we can assume means they had never been forced to try it.
The second most hated food, at 36%
of all Americans, was anchovies.

“We would actually be entitled to it.”
AT A RALLY in Corpus Christi, today, Donald Dumpling did what Donald does best. He managed to tell lies and threaten democracy all in one breath. “Maybe we do one more term,” he suggested to his MAGA-hatted fans. “Should we do one more?” he asked. “One more term! Well, we’re entitled to it after they cheated like hell in the second. We would actually be entitled to it.”
So, a few quick notes to end the month on (what else) a few more low notes. Bill O’Reilly, once the sourpuss face of Fox News (before all the sexual assault allegations and payments to victims brought him down) has called for the Department of Justice to “make an example” of actor Robert DeNiro. And for… what?
In a recent interview, DeNiro warned that Trump “will never leave” office (see “entitled,” above) meaning it’s up to Americans to “get rid of him.”
The actor went on to add, “We have to make him leave.”
On his own show (if you even knew he had a show), Bill-O decided that DeNiro was threatening the president. “I’d make an example of this guy, De Niro,” O’Reilly told listeners. “And I wouldn’t do it for vindictive or politics. I wouldn’t do that. But enough’s enough on the threats.”
“He better have a lawyer,” O’Reilly added. He hoped the Secret Service would pull the actor in for an interrogation.
But no. Not vindictive.
Well, why worry? We all know that the Twenty-Second Amendment to the Constitution limits a president to two terms.
So, if we count on our thumbs, and then check our math, we find that Donald was the 45th president. That’s one term.
And now he’s the 47th.
That’s…two.
Someone’s going to need to tell Donald Dumpling the bad news – and yes, Bill-O, you anti-First Amendment fool – it will be up to us to make Trump (if necessary) and as many of his enablers and kiss-ups leave office, when we vote.
Both this November, and again in 2028.
Speaking of the First Amendment – which the Founders listed first, because they thought it was most important, did you, Bill-O., or any of those of you who listen to Bill-O. bluster, did you know Donald was threatening to sue Trevor Noah, the comedian who hosted the Grammys earlier this month.
For?
A joke. What Noah suggested was this, that it made sense that the president wanted Greenland “because Epstein’s island is gone, [and] he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
Ever the picture of maturity in such matters, the President of the United States turned to social media to match words with Noah, calling him a “poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.”
Plus, he was going to sue for
defamation.

The Miracles of Donald Trump.
AMID the flotsam and jetsam of this month’s news, perhaps you tuned out Donald’s Unending State of the Union Talk-Marathon.
One highlight was easy to miss, when The Dumpling said again that he had ended a nuclear war between India and Pakistan, before it could start, and that the leader of Pakistan had thanked him, saying, “thirty-five million people …would have died if it were not for my involvement.”
I was reminded of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s claim, on Donald Trump’s hundredth day in office, last April, that by stemming the flow of fentanyl, he had already saved the lives of 119 million Americans.
Bondi was quite emphatic, glaring into the cameras, and demanding that the “fake news” people report that story. So, I did the math that Bondi didn’t do – because she’s a numbskull and a sycophant. At that rate, as I noted, by the end of the first year of Trump’s second term, 434,350,000 American lives would be saved, which was only one hundred million more lives than there are to be saved.
In fact, since we are now 39 days deep into Donald’s second year of his second try at president, we can figure that another 46,410,000 lives have been saved, bringing the tally of American lives saved to 480,860,000. This blogger is too lazy right now to do the exact math, but at 1.19 million lives save per day (just ask Pam Bondi!) we will pass the 500 million mark sometime around the middle of March.
So, if you’re still reading this
blog, thanks. And you owe ever breathe you take today, and from this day
forward, to the Miracles of Donald Trump.
*
We might also note that thanks to RFK Jr., the United States has already had 1,136 cases of measles in the first two months of this year. If we continue at this rate for the rest of the year, we will pile up nearly 7,000 cases of a disease once considered “eradicated” in the United States.
This will be quite the “accomplishment” considering that from 2000 to 2024, the United States totaled 4,485 cases. Then Team Donald set a one-year record in 2025, with 2, 281 cases, and decided to try to do even “better” in 2026.
Give RFK Jr. and his crazy “experts” three more years, and perhaps we can Make America Healthy Again, as in 1990, when the U.S. had 27,808 measles cases – in an era before almost everyone got vaccinated.
So far, this year, if you have a
child under age five who gets infected, you have a 1 in 16 chance they will be hospitalized.
*
Perhaps a fitting end to any month with Donald Dumpling in charge would be to mention the racist video he posted – but which he then claimed he did not mean to post – and it was all the fault of some unnamed, low-level dope on his White House staff. And some random dude on the internet, who posted it first, which would mean that the President of the United States could be roped in by random dudes on the internet.
In that post, Donald promoted a video that ended, 62 seconds later, showing Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
Then White House Press Secretary Karolyn Leavitt defended the video and said it was just good fun, depicting Donald as the lion in “Lion King,” and the Obamas as a pair of apes. Then the video stayed up for twelve hours, no doubt to the delight of racist-inclined Americans everywhere. Then, the chair of the Hardin County, Kentucky GOP had to apologize for posting the same racist video – as if he, too, was easily fooled by blatant racism. Or, you had to wonder: Were they people secretly fans of racism, if you dug deep enough to find out?
The racism seemed to be so blatant, that even U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, a veritable “Uncle Tom” in the ranks of the GOP, had to come out and condemn it. “Praying it was fake because it’s the most racist thing I’ve seen out of this White House.”
Keep in mind, this is a White House where Stephen Miller, the aide with the greatest influence over the president, has secretly made clear that he believes in the “white replacement theory.”
And he thinks more Americans should read the Camp of the Saints.
Online sleuths began to do a little digging, to see if they could find the White House aide who pushed the racist video along and soon discovered, by mistake, that a “Johnny Maga” account on X, which had almost 290,000 followers, and showed itself to be the work of a brown-skinned person, was run from inside the White House.
(Your tax dollars at work!!!)
Even better, the aide in charge of the account was named Garrett Wade – a rather noticeably-non-brown-colored gentleman named, as seen below.
Even a very real Johnny or Bobby or Billy Bobby MAGA fan will probably notice the skin-color dichotomy.
Then again, a true MAGA can mistake an entire mob of 10,000 MAGAs attacking the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, for “Antifa” instigators.
We should also take notice of the douchebag dustup where the White House has posted a video of a member of the U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey Team mocking Canadians. That video prompted that member, Brady Tkachuk, to point out it was fake. In it, Tkachuk is made to say, “They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple syrup eating f---s a lesson.”
Naturally, the fake video piled up 11.1 million views on the White House Tik-Tok channel, which means at least 50 million Trump fans will too incurious to realize it wasn’t real – and that at least 20% of those fans will revel in the fact that pretty much only white people play hockey. Not that any Trump fans could be………
Racists.

“Which would likely take years to do.”
2/28/26: We come to the last day of February 2026 and must report that President Trump has partnered with Israel (again) to bomb Iran (again).
This attack, the president wants all Americans to know, was necessary to stop Iran from gaining possession of nuclear weapons – just like it was critical to keep North Korea from getting more nuclear weapons, during Donald’s first term in office.
But, not to worry. As we learned, back in 2018, Donald was going to convince Kim Jong-un to hand over all his nukes, and we would all rest snug in our beds. Only Kim did not turn over a single nuke and kept building more.
Also, Donald bombed Iran last summer and got mad at the free press for refusing to believe that that series of bombing attacks had “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear weapons development facilities.
And, once again, made us all snug in our beds.
“Take it from the people who know,” the official White House website announced last summer. The Iranian nuclear weapons production facilities had been “obliterated.” Donald said so.
Vice President Vance agree, assuring us: “I can say to the American people with great confidence [that the Iranians] are much further away from a nuclear program today than they were 24 hours ago.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also thrilled with results. “This was complete and total obliteration” he announced.
Another person who “knew,” crowed that we had crushed Iran’s nuclear development program, claiming, “we set it back by years, I repeat, years.”
Secretary of War and Killing People Pete Hegseth was even more emphatic:
Based on everything we have seen – and I’ve seen it all – our bombing campaign obliterated Iran’s ability to create nuclear weapons. Our massive bombs hit exactly the right spot at each target and worked perfectly. The impact of those bombs is buried under a mountain of rubble in Iran; so anyone who says the bombs were not devastating is just trying to undermine the President and the successful mission.”
All the toadies chipped in; Special Envoy Steve Witkoff exclaimed:
We put 12 bunker buster bombs on Fordow. There’s no doubt that it breached the canopy, there’s no doubt that it was well within reach of the depth that these bunker buster bombs go to, and there’s no doubt that it was obliterated – so the reporting out there that in some way suggests that we did not achieve the objective is just completely preposterous.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: “The operation was a resounding success. Our missiles were delivered precisely and accurately, obliterating key Iranian capabilities needed to quickly assemble a nuclear weapon.”
David Albright, president of the Institute for Science and International Security announced: “Overall, Israel’s and U.S. attacks have effectively destroyed Iran’s centrifuge enrichment program. It will be a long time before Iran comes anywhere near the capability it had before the attack.”
Spencer Faragasso, Senior Research Fellow, at the Institute for Science and International Security was also in the know. “Overall,” he said, “it may possibly take years for Iran to reconstitute the capabilities it lost at these facilities.”
So: Problem solved.
And fuck any news outlet who said it was not.
In fact, if you missed it the White House posted a second article to support the claims in the first:
Just a taste from this article should suffice: “CIA can confirm that a body of credible intelligence indicates Iran’s Nuclear Program has been severely damaged by the recent, targeted strikes,” Director John Ratcliff announced. “This includes new intelligence from a historically reliable and accurate source/method that several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed and would have to be rebuilt over the course of years.”
And, finally, from Tulsi Gabbard, again:
New intelligence confirms what @POTUS has stated numerous times: Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed. If the Iranians chose to rebuild, they would have to rebuild all three facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Esfahan) entirely, which would likely take years to do. The propaganda media has deployed their usual tactic: selectively release portions of illegally leaked classified intelligence assessments (intentionally leaving out the fact that the assessment was written with “low confidence”) to try to undermine President Trump’s decisive leadership and the brave servicemen and women who flawlessly executed a truly historic mission to keep the American people safe and secure.
