Tea and Vitriol

The Democrats had stunning victories against the Republicans in the Mid-Term elections last week. They retook both Houses of Congress, flipping seats that had been Republican strongholds for decades. Frankly, it was a large-scale rejection of The Donald and Trumpism, with which MAGA extremists and  Republican politicians are inextricably linked. It was NOT an approval of the candidates the Democratic National Committee puked up at us. Yet this victory clearly went to the Democrats' heads. Despite the fact that the new Congress will not take place until January 3, 2027, they sought to entertain us with yet another attempted impeachment proceeding. This time it was against The Donald's Secretary of Defense, who prefers to be called the Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hegseth is NOT unique in The Donald's cabinet. A former television news personality, apart from his bellicose big mouth, he has no experience in government, let alone in high appointed national office. A verbose b...

 Yawn. The Donald has lost the Nobel Peace Prize. Again. And he's whining about it. Again. He blamed Norway for his not receiving the prize for promoting and working towards world peace and cooperation. "To their discredit," he whined. But The Donald is too deluded not to recognize that he has done as much to promote world peace and cooperation as did Genghis Khan! The Donald kept referring to his "accomplishments" and claimed to have ended eight wars. He didn't. He started wars and his current war with Iran has no end in sight, while disrupting global economies. The Donald has bullied Canada and Greenland, threatening them with annexation. He has placed an embargo on Cuba hoping to destroy that country and return it to US satellite status, like it was prior to their revolution, when it was America's whorehouse. The Donald kidnapped Venezuela's president in violation of international law, which means nothing to him. His frequent imposition of frivolo...

For the record, let me state that neither the Democrats nor Republicans exhibit every or any political virtues to be found under Heaven.  Politicians of both parties have achieved their successes by demagoguery to demonize their opponents. While this has allowed them victories within their own spheres of influence, their constant harangues have never achieved slam dunk victories that have given either party super majorities in Congress. For the average American, this means that nothing has really changed, no matter which group of scalawags get razor thin majorities in Congress. This polarization has resulted in apathy among most of the electorate. If people vote at all, and those numbers are pretty dismal considering what is usually at stake, they tend to vote against something rather than for a candidate. And this, despite their protests, suits politicians just fine. Most seek election to public office to take advantage of the abundant opportunities to enrich themselves and their ...

  The Donald is up to his old tricks again. While he fancies himself as Lord God King of the Universe, when crossed The Donald behaves like your typical schoolyard bully: He threatens. Most of the time his threats are empty because he simply does NOT have the power to realize them, but his threats expose the moral bankruptcy of himself, his crime family and his administration. When dealing with the war against Iran, which he and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu started and cannot win, he stated that he was more than willing to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide to win. Then he stated that he already won the war, which he hasn't. The world has come to see him as a mentally unstable, pathological liar whose credibility has vanished and cannot be trusted. And an oversexed, incontinent liar at that, surrounded by a shady group of henchmen and henchwomen wo, like The Donald, have no grasp of economics on any scale, nor history, nor diplomacy or even decency and manne...

I think that by now all but the most completely brainwashed Americans have recognized the moral bankruptcy of The Donald's second administration. The Donald himself is a bully, a war monger, a braggart and a pathological liar, claiming victory in his and Benny's war against Iran which they have clearly lost and peace is further way than ever. He and his cabinet can best be described as international war criminals, crying foul and accusing others of flouting international law which never hindered their own international actions. The Trump dynasty itself can be best described as a "Crime Family," whose practices of corruption have exceeded even the Clinton and Biden Crime Families. One might say that that the Trump Crime Family came to its predilection for corruption "honestly." Given the antics of The Donald's grandfather and father, one might say that criminal behavior is in their genes. It's in their nature and therefore cannot help it. Even worse i...

July 4, 2026, is the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence, which broke with the United Kingdom and ended its dominion over the 13 American colonies. It is, therefore, America's 250th birthday. Yet, as an American, I cannot get worked up about it. I am old enough to remember the Bicentennial. We had just survived the nightmares of the Vietnam War and President Nixon's Watergate scandal, which almost destroyed America and brought the Nixon regime crashing down in ruins. However, the Bicentennial helped put that behind us. It was a celebration of America and Americans, with festivities across our nation celebrating that fact, televised so that people who could not be present would be able to witness them, both here and abroad. The Bicentennial reaffirmed our national pride, illustrating to the world that we had stood on the brink of utter chaos and destruction, only to come back stronger and more united than ever. Even the p...

Let's face it, The Donald's second administration has been an utter failure both domestically and globally. He has been unable to fulfill any of the campaign promises he made. That is NOT unusual among politicians seeking election to public office. However, the promises he made were so exorbitant that his inability to realize them make them even more glaring. So, he lies and tells everyone that his agenda has been successful when everyone can see that he hasn't been. Apart from pissing off friend and foe alike, The Donald's only successes have been to bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean Sea, kidnap Venezuela's Maduro and bully his successor there into submission. He and the Trump Crime Family have also used his position as president to enrich themselves in largely unethical practices of influence peddling, with his son-in-law Jared Kushner as the prime example of this brand of corruption in his administration. With the exception of MAGA extremists, most Americans ar...

 Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground, you in midair. Where are the clowns? Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around one who can't move. But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns. Just when I stopped opening doors, finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours. Making my entrance again with my usual flair. Sure of my lines, but no one is there. Don't you love farce? My fault, I fear. I thought that you wanted what I want. Sorry, my dear. But where are the clowns? Quick, send in the clowns. Don't bother, they're here. Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career. But where are the clowns? There ought to be clowns. Well, maybe next year. "Send in the Clowns" was the most famous song in the musical "A Little Night Music." It was about numerous people of the demimonde whose timing was off throughout their lives. Sort of like The Donald's second presidenti...

I will be the first to admit it: I voted for Donald Trump in 2024. And in 2016 and 2020. Between the evil Billary Clinton, senile horse's ass Sloppy Joe Biden and braying jackass Kamala Harris, I feel as though there was no other choice than The Donald. And there really wasn't. Because as bad choices as they all were, they are NOT the disease destroying America. They were merely the ugly red rash that indicated the presence of the disease, like with syphilis. America was hopelessly polarized long before these characters came along, puked up on the US electorate courtesy of both the Democratic and Republican parties, promoting their agendas through the use of demagoguery. It was successful, but it boosted totally unsuitable corrupt characters to the highest office in our land, some might even say of the whole world. Under these circumstances, it would only been a matter of time before a power-mad megalomaniac would achieve the presidency. And that has happened now. Yes, I have ...

King Charles III of the Disunited Kingdom and his current wife, Queen Camilla, began their state visit to the US on Monday. Yawn. It is lacking the tumultuous fanfare state visits usually produce because of the media circus produced by the supposed assassination attempt of the president and/or high-ranking government officials at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday Night. THAT incident has raised a lot more questions than the government has provided logical or believable explanations, which is giving the media plenty to concern itself with, to the exclusion of all else. Yet less than twelve hours after the incident, it was announced the King Charles III and his wife would make a four-day state visit to the US starting on Monday! While King Charles III had been invited to the US to celebrate our 250th "birthday," nobody was sure when or if he would come, given the health concerns over his ongoing treatment for cancer. The idea of that visit seems ironic, anyway. ...

  Let me clear about one thing: I voted for The Donald in 2016, 2020 and 2024. In 2024, the majority of Americans were fed up with the international and domestic embarrassment of the Biden regime and the Biden Crime Family. Americans have long been accustomed to corruption in politics, but the Biden Crime Family was a case of "just too much," and blatantly so. One can excuse Sloppy Joe because of his obvious senility, which is why the Democratic National Committee kept him out of sight for most of the 2020 campaign. As for his running mate? Kamala Harris was a DEI hire, based on her sex, bi-racial ancestry and the color of her skin. The fact that she was a blithering idiot meant nothing to the DNC. In fact, it was the DNC that ruled the Biden regime. Sloppy Joe and Kamelhead merely reigned. Then came 2024, and The Donald beat the DNC by a healthy margin, both in the popular vote and the Electoral College. It was NOT the landslide that The Donald would later claim. But for one...

Let me state for the record that I am a lapsed Catholic. I survived the ordeal of a Catholic education and walking through the penguin compound at zoos still makes me nervous. However, I will argue to my dying day that people have the right to practice their religion even if I do not subscribe to them. It is a right enshrined in our own Bill of Rights in the Constitution. This, however, does not give practitioners of various religions the right to harangue people in order to proselytize them or to preach politics from the pulpit, which I have seen only too often during political campaigns in Rochester, New York and I can safely assume it occurs elsewhere as well. This violates the principal of separation of church and state. Violators and their churches can lose their tax-free status if caught. But I do not consider talking about peace, ending the violence and bloodshed of wars or constraining elected political leaders to behave with more modesty, humility, humanity, decency and approp...

At the start of the insincere ceasefire in The Donald and Benny's war against Iran, Melania Trump has chosen to speak yesterday. And what did The Donald's third wife have to say to the press? Nothing about The Donald's arrogance that has shattered old international alliances. Nothing about the disruptions to global trade and the global economy caused by The Donald and Benny's unilateral war against Iran. Nothing about the bloodshed, death, destruction and violations of international law that The Donald and Benny have wrought upon the world. No. Melania spoke about herself and how she has been maligned by social media and the liberal press regarding her association with deceased convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his procuress-in-chief Ghislaine Maxwell. Wearing an exquisite, tailored suit and her standard Joan Crawford "come fuck me" pumps with four-inch heels, Melania strode forcefully across the room to a podium where her prepared speech was already lai...

The whole world has seen that The Donald and Benny's war against Iran hasn't gone to plan. Despite their tortured efforts to destroy Iran and remake it to suit their own egos and agendas, that hasn't happened and the war, with its death and destruction still goes on. This has infuriated The Donald, who supposedly penned "The Art of the Deal." He expected Iran to capitulate on Day One of his and Benny's war against them, and gratefully accept any deal that he might offer, no matter how humiliating. Only Iran has repeatedly said "No deal!" The Donald knows only how to insult, threaten and intimidate. Those are his methods and they are not working here. His latest bullying tactic was to threaten Iran with "Hell on earth" if they did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to shipping, specifically the shipping of oil, which the world economy depends upon and 20% of it passes through the Strait of Hormuz. The Donald gave Iran 48 hours to comply. Then h...

It's no secret that The Donald and Benny's war against Iran isn't going exactly as they hoped when they started it. Iran didn't collapse; despite the horrendous amounts of death and destruction The Donald and Benny have inflicted upon them, Iran's massive retaliation against them has proved that they might be bloodied but unbowed. This fact has pissed off The Donald and Benny more than somewhat, especially since the allies of the US in the Persian Gulf and Israel itself are facing the brunt of Iran's wrath, which might be lessening but not completely abating. The biggest problem with The Donald and Benny's war is one of credibility. Nobody can truly believe everything and anything they say about their war. That's because The Donald and Benny are inveterate liars. Don't get me wrong, most politicians ARE liars, especially in supposedly democratic regimes that are subject to the will of their peoples and face re-election challenges at regular intervals...

Melanija Knavs is a Slovenian-born immigrant who came to America thirty years ago to become a "fashion model." I use that term politely. Most of the clothing she modeled could be found in exclusive catalogs and would be sent in plain brown wrappers. They left little to the imagination, and she happily displayed her breasts, buttocks and beaver in pursuit of her career. Since Slovenia wasn't nearly big enough to contain her, she set off for Paris and Milan, where she changed her name to "Melania Knauss" and there met Paolo Zampolli, a businessman based in New York City. It was Zampolli who hired Melania and brought her to Manhattan, arranged for her Green Card and whereupon he introduced her to multi-millionaire Donald Trump, who was then between wives. The Donald, with a taste for flashy women and prostitutes, eventually made her his third wife in 2005. Like any self-respecting pimp, Zampolli was later awarded political appointments by The Donald, once he had be...

 Kamelhead Harris has written a book? Supposedly. She is claiming authorship of "107 Days," recalling her extremely brief campaign for the presidency of the United States AFTER senile horse's ass Sloppy Joe Biden was pressured into abandoning his re-election campaign. That occurred only because of his incredibly piss poor showing during his internationally televised debate with The Donald . If any thinking individuals had any doubts about Sloppy Joe's competence before, that one debate effectively ended them. So, without a primary, a need to save face and to prove that they had faith in their DEI hire for the 2020 presidential race, the Democratic National Committee shoved Kamelhead into the presidential candidate slot. Kamelhead's campaign until the election lasted 107 days, hence the title of "her" book. Which most people doubt that she had written herself. She is now touring America to promote "her" book and making the liberal talk-show cir...
