Here is a proposed claim for compensation from the Trump $1.776 billion Scam Fund. The legal citations are real. The rest of it, sadly, will not be real. Dear Acting Attorney General Blanche: Please accept this notice of my claim for compensation under the Trump vs. IRS Settlement Agreement. If you can try to suck … Continue reading My Slush Fund Claim

An Alternative “King’s Speech”
This week, the King of England spoke to a Joint Session of Congress. His speech addressed the long-standing “special relationship” between the U.K. and the U.S. I suppose that this is what was rightly expected. I wish, though, that he had instead said something like this: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice-President and all you other traitors … Continue reading An Alternative “King’s Speech”
Jesus H. Trump
The debate today is between those who think that Orange Julius’s use of the image of Christ is blasphemous and those who think it is simply Trump being Trump. I side with the latter group. But, not for their reasons. I agree that in posing as Jesus, Trump is being Trump but not because it … Continue reading Jesus H. Trump
Some Stuff That Just Might Happen
With so many of today’s actual events sounding as if they were made up by someone who’d just gobbled down too many gummies, it is hard to know what really is happening and what isn’t. Pretty soon, we may even see these reports: Today, President Donald J. Trump claimed victory in his war with Iran. He … Continue reading Some Stuff That Just Might Happen
Talk Therapy
How much do we have to take? My God, the avalanche of corruption, mendacity, boorishness, and inhumanity spewing from Orange Julius keeps cascading over us. More and more. I’ve been upset with everything about our Orange Leader for decades, but my ire was lit to a level I had never felt before while I watched … Continue reading Talk Therapy
Time To Talk About Israel
Maybe it’s time to talk about Israel I believe that we are at war in the Middle East right now, as we have been so often in the past 77 years, because of Israel. In 1948, the creation of Israel was a very well-intentioned and humane idea. The centuries long record of victimization of the … Continue reading Time To Talk About Israel
Tariff Tantrum
While he was addressing a group of Governors, a member of his staff slipped Orange Julius (“O.J.”) a note telling him that the Supreme Court had invalidated his precious tariffs. Oh, he was pissed. How dare those treasonous bastards rob him of his favorite toy. He immediately convened a meeting back in the Oval Office … Continue reading Tariff Tantrum
Epstein and Guthrie
At first blush, two of the main stories in this week’s news have nothing in common. I speak of the Epstein files and the sad kidnapping of Savannah Guthrie‘s mother. On another level, however, they are delivering much the same message - the world is different for the rich and famous. Of course, we always … Continue reading Epstein and Guthrie
The Donroe Doctrine is a Crime
“A republic is the best form of government, a government of laws, not arbitrary rule. John Adams In the aftermath of our country’s usurpation of the sovereignty of the Venezuelan independent state, it is time to remember John Adams’s above quote. The MAGA defenders of the invasion of Venezuela certainly have forgotten it, if they … Continue reading The Donroe Doctrine is a Crime
His Best of the Year
Every little clique of society ends the year with some kind of a list. The movie critics award the best movies of the year. The sporting press awards the best athletes of the year. The automobile industry awards the best car of the year. Although I have never seen it, I would bet that somewhere … Continue reading His Best of the Year
