I offer a Trumpslation for the bizarre message Trump II posted regarded the tragic murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. Trump usurps others, even in death.
President Trump has announced that he will be making an announcement to the nation this evening at 9 PM EST.
Speculation on what this will be about is all over the board, but much of it centers on the Administration's provocative confrontation with Venezuela.
It's difficult to forecast what will happen, because we are dealing with a group of people who live in an alternative reality of lies and purposeful imaginings designed to manipulate public opinion, and the outsized looting of the nation by wealthy, willful sociopaths.
Whatever happens, let us not overlook or excuse the terrible responsibility that is being laid upon those who watch all this unfolding and ask, 'What is truth?', and then cynically turn away from it.
Trump II denigrated Somali immigrants to the U.S.:
"We always take people from Somalia, places that are a disaster, right?" the president told the audience in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania. "Filthy, dirty, disgusting, ridden with crime. The only thing they’re good at is going after ships."
And then Trump II usurped that skill by seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker.
Classic Trump: lambast, denigrate, insult and then subsume the very core of those insulted.
After reading the title of the article, I must thank Pam Bondi for the hearty laugh.
It was my second of the day. The first arose from seeing the faces of numerous TechGods atop robot dog bodies "pooping out" works of art. The various juxtapositions tickled me deep in my funny bone.
Bondi's was nearly as good. Everything about it is comical. It's a bizarre assembly of words, especially in light of the person she works for.
Trump II turned Congresspersons stating the law on soldiers' obligations to refuse illegal orders into sedition worthy of death. Bondi's boss walked that back a skosh but kept his main points intact.
Tax crimes? That is the IRS' bailiwick. Didn't Trump II just cut the IRS budget, eviscerating tax enforcement?
Trump just freed a bunch of fraudsters, who I am relatively certain did not pay taxes on their stolen gains.
As for regular law enforcement, I expect they won't touch tax crimes. We couldn't get our local police to charge an employee with embezzlement when we had all the evidence assembled for them to use. Local authorities had no interest in a person who'd stolen my wife's credit card number and ordered expensive NIKEs for her four year old kid. We had name, address and documentation from the vendor and they lived in the same town.
Most of the items under Bondi's laundry list of "agendas" fall under free speech, which she is charged with defending, not making up fake threats and tossing out excessive legal consequences like Trump II.
As for tax crimes, shouldn't that AI "enhanced collections" find suspicious returns, current and past? Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said AI was the key to enforcement. Which pooping dog's AI will Scott use?
In summary, local authorities don't care about tax crimes. The vast majority of Americans do not want a fascist government, straight up or Christian Nationalist.
Violence is often linked to mental health issues as most people find harming innocent people for any reason to be against their faith and a violation of basic human decency.
Independent voters are fleeing the Red Team. Trump was supposed to help on the economy and stay relatively between the Presidential lines like he did in his first term. .
I sincerely doubt Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth will succeed at court martialing a U.S. Senator over the exact words Hegseth used when Obama was President. That does not mean he won't try.
That's what worries me about Bondi's threat. It's performative, like TechGod headed dogs pooping art. Can we please get back to substantive?
Can Congress or the Supremes reign in the Kranky Old Guy in the White House? He just lost a match with Sabrina Carpenter with the White House committing not one, but two, own goals. Me thinks the FIFA boys are laughing. It's Trump comedy 360...
Will Jesus return as a flash memory? One famous podcaster posed that possibility.
Joe Rogan: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? AI could absolutely return as Jesus."
Someone has spent too much time talking to faithless TechGods, a group intent on usurping all of God's powers (all seeing, all knowing, capable of creation & destruction & all powerful).
Joe Rogan reduced virgin women to computers. He made God a programmer, an AI trainer. Revelations has Jesus returning in physical form, not AI "returning" as something it has never been or ever could be.
Trump II has given TechGods a taste of government sponsored power and they like it, as well as tapping Uncle Sam's wallet for huge dollar sums.
Our government allowed TechGods to cause significant harm to our youth and criminals have jumped on AI to prey on people in new ways. Ignore all that says the podcast.
“You combine Teslas, Optimus robot (Elon Musk’s Tesla Bot), and the best foundational artificial intelligence model…
And you do not get Mother Mary, Father Joseph or baby Jesus. You get a sci-fi world that young TechGods dreamed about as teens.
Jesus the AI simulation with 85% accuracy is coming. Beware its hallucinations. They could be downright devilish.
Another U.S. political figure on the Red Ream usurped Franklin the Turtle, this time to promote Bitcoin.
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too. ---John Kenneth Galbraith
Trump II pardoned Rep. Henry Cuellar prior to his scheduled trial in April 2026. The "Just Us" Department previously reported:
....beginning in at least December 2014 and continuing through at least November 2021, Congressman Cuellar and Imelda Cuellar allegedly accepted approximately $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: an oil and gas company wholly owned and controlled by the Government of Azerbaijan, and a bank headquartered in Mexico City.
The bribe payments were allegedly laundered, pursuant to sham consulting contracts, through a series of front companies and middlemen into shell companies owned by Imelda Cuellar, who performed little to no legitimate work under the contracts.
In exchange for the bribes paid by the Azerbaijani oil and gas company, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to use his office to influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Azerbaijan.
In exchange for the bribes paid by the Mexican bank, Congressman Cuellar allegedly agreed to influence legislative activity and to advise and pressure high-ranking U.S. Executive Branch officials regarding measures beneficial to the bank.
Front companies, shell companies, no work contracts...this is the way politically connected people get paid outrageous sums for multiple jobs, most of which sound full time.
It's what supported Jeffrey Epstein and his child predation ring for several decades.
Once the raccoon sobered up from his liquor store drunken rampage he asked his public defender to approach the White House for a pardon or at least a cleaner bathroom in which to crash in his drunken stupor. "Just not the East Wing!"
When he's not napping Trump II can deliver blistering take downs of a seemingly endless scroll of people. The Kranky Old Guy in the White House may need his meds adjusted.
A physician letter is not a radiologist report, one read by a qualified human being. His doctor letter sounded like something written by AI.
We know how Trump II's brain works:
1) adulation-good
2) deal fees (transparent and hidden)-good
3) more adulation-good
4) spotlight on someone else-bad
5) any constraints on his behavior-bad
6) relationship boundaries-bad
7) constraint on the his power as President-bad
Trump II is the old guy in the nursing home lobby making demands, demeaning others and has no visitors because he never befriended anyone. People were there to be used and tossed aside. Everything is a game of accumulation and usurpation.
Trump II needs willing sycophants to carry out his will. Every Goldfinger needs an Odd Job or Pussy Galore. Trump has Stephen Cheung, who resembles Odd Job. I wouldn't call Scott Bessent Pussy Galore but he willingly debases himself on a regular basis for Trump II.
Making up new rules for independent positions and applying them retroactively is bizarre. A residency requirement? Does it have to be a Red state within the district? Might it need to be a certain sized home square foot wise? How about solar panels? Are those disqualifying?
Kranky Trump and Skanky Bessent, that's a bad combination at least for an independent Fed.
Update 12-5-25: Stephen Cheung came to the defense of Bill Pulte, currently under investigation for possible misuse of his office.
Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth used children's books "Franklin the turtle" to defend summary execution of suspected drug boats in the Caribbean.
A different Franklin, Founding Father Ben offered:
“The punishment of murder by death is contrary to reason, and to the order and happiness of society, and contrary to divine revelation.”
There is little to no virtue in Trump's savage whims. I see no evidence of anything divine in his absurd justifications and outright refusal to answer for actions taken by the Executive Branch.
Nearly everything Trump II does is contrary to ethics and reason. He and his family are oriented to a small subsection of society, something called the parallel economy.
Apparently the parallel economy is a Gilded Age experience where government connections are bought and sold over caviar, champagne and lobster.
Franklin the Founding Father might want to pull out a bazooka on that.
Update 12-2-25: The organization with Franklin property rights objected to Hegseth's appropriation.
“Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity,” the publishing house Kids Can Press wrote in a statement on X.
“We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values,” the statement read.
A Pentagon spokesperson confessed that his boss had appropriated Franklin without permission:
“We doubt Franklin the Turtle wants to be inclusive of drug cartels… or laud the kindness and empathy of narco-terrorists.”
Trump II's irreality strategy now incorporates an official section on whitehouse.gov.
It should be a hit for those who can't buy enough $TRUMP, currently at $5.70 and fifty days from its next unlock which will add nearly 51 million unreleased "Fight, Fight, Fight" tokens. On January 17, 2025 $TRUMP rose to $73.43.
Those who maxed out their credit cards to buy at the top have lost 92% of their initial investment. Paying 22% interest in order to lose 92% of the borrowed money is a giant financial hole.
Somethings are truly shameful, like Trump II's treatment of women, reporters, women reporters, anyone who expresses different thoughts than he holds, anyone who points out inconsistencies in his varying savage whims, anyone who questions his obscene and endless money making ventures (domestic and international) and anyone who does not want to see the name TRUMP or DJT emblazoned on every building and street corner, much less the new name for the GOP, the political party from which Independent voters now flee.
Every time Trump II says "third term", another independent voter runs away.
Odd Job and Pablum have a new garbage site. Their dumpster site will eventually go up in flames.
The failure of the current government in the States is becoming more evident. They can barely say anything that is not untrue anymore.
The economy is slumping, but they are trying their best to hide it, and keep promoting the thought that 'next year' everything will be better. I doubt that it will.
These are reivers and predators, not builders. Destroyers, rather than producers. They are in it wholly for themselves. And it shows if one has eyes to see.
It's a shame really. But I imagine we will go through some painful times, and then bounce back once again.
Foolishness will have its way, and will not be deterred from its own destruction.
Kranky Trump calledCNN's Caitlin Collins "always stupid and nasty," bringing more shame to the White House.
As for FBI Assistant Director Dan Bongino he said of his past life as a Red Team Media figure:
“Listen, I was paid in the past, Sean, for my opinions. That’s clear. And one day I will be back in that space, but that’s not what I’m paid for now. I’m paid to be your deputy director, and we base investigations on facts.”
Dan may want to consider a move to White House media if wants to continue spouting non-fact based opinions.
Trump II's Kranksgiving had him golfing daily while acting like the bully nursing home resident, yelling at people he doesn't like. It looks arbitrary but I'm sure Trump II has a purpose.
HHS Chief Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took an Air Force One McDonald's unhappy meal pic and AI'd it for Thanksgiving.
RFK Jr. became the turkey after AI butchered his right hand into something alien. A younger RFK Jr. could use that hand to throw a split finger fastball. Instead he repeatedly pitches nonsense, like his boss.
What AI has done for RFK Jr.'s hand it can do for you. It can distort and maim images and information.
Trump II pardoned two turkeys yesterday (in addition to thousands of people who'd committed foul crimes). In his speech Trump channeled the spirit of Kranksgiving by bringing up his political opponents.
The image of the loud mouthed, nursing home bully returned to my mind. Kranky is as kranky does.
It's Kranksgiving on the new Rose Garden patio. Enjoy your umbrella drinks under cloudy skies, high of 45 and low of 32. The umbrella may help to block the wind. The Trump's won't be with you.
First lady Melania Trump joined President Donald Trump as they began a six-day Thanksgiving visit to Palm Beach on Tuesday, Nov. 25. The first couple arrived hours after hosting an annual turkey-pardoning ceremony in which the president sought to counter the politically fraught affordability debate by citing "incredible strides" in lowering food prices.
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro, who spent part of his youth in the Palm Beaches, communications director Steven Cheung and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also flew on Air Force One, which landed at Palm Beach International Airport at 8:22 p.m.
Independent voters who'd aligned with Trump in 2024 have now abandoned the President, according to the article. It stated one poll had Trump II's approval rating at 34%. Apparently other people don't like kranky either.
Update: The Florida sun did not change Trump II's Kranksgiving spirit as he went after a NYT reporter, calling her ugly on the inside and out."
Update 11-28-25: It was nice having a Thanksgiving holiday break from Trump's incessant berating and bragging.
Trump II's Kranksgiving included a phone call with military members where he offered a golf rant that savaged Biden's golf game and elevated Trump's to near perfection. Trump has spent 24% of his second term in office on the golf course.
The kranky old guy in the nursing home lobby enjoys smacking his "competition." That's who Trump reminds me of.
Update 11-30-25: Trump II golfed for the fourth day in a row on Saturday but that has not helped diminish his Krankiness. It's an extended Kranksgiving for Trump II. He may go for fiver.
Trump pardoned another fraudster, this one a private equity underwriter (PEU) who'd defrauded more than 10,000 investors. After serving twelve days in jail, Trump II released David Gentile of GPB Capital.
Update 12-3-25: Trump golfed five days straight over his Kranksgiving holiday. That totals nine golf days out of 30 for November 2025.
Bloomberg reported on a prior Trump pardon of Eli Weinstein. Weinstein went back to committing fraud while never attempting to make restitution to prior victims.
Red Team Rep. Mike McCaul toldThis Week with George Stephanopolous yesterday on the topic of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal:
The inception of this agreement seems to have come from a Witkoff discussion with the Russian Dmitriev, who heads up the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Steve Witcoff is the investor playing dipolmat from the U.S. side. He has The Witcoff Group and co-founded World Liberty Financial with Trump II.
The National Wealth Fund of Russia is essentially a state owned private equity underwriter (PEU).
Ukraine is a take over target, people, land, resources, etc...
The people behind the peace deal are investors carving up Ukrainian prizes (the spoils of war).
The American worker experienced this as private equity took over company after company, traumatized workers and customers, loaded firms down with debt, siphoned fees and special dividends and enjoyed tax advantages all along the way.
That's how PEUs became "policy making billionaires," paving the way for the first TechGod trillionaire.
Trump II pushed the PEU playbook on federal workers via DOGE, which he just officially ended. It's still there just buried within several different government departments.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/Cryptobro brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
Update 11-26-25: General Kellogg told Fox News that Jared Kushner is involved in the Russia-Ukraine peace deal. Jared's Affinity Partners is a PEU that invests Saudi SWF money, at least $2 billion of it.
Bloomberg reported that Steve Witcoff advised Russia on how to sell the peace deal to Trump II.
Russia's SWF Chief Dmitriev told Axios he spent three days in Miami from Oct. 24.
Russia's TASSreported on the meeting before it happened.
Update 11-28-25: Another story on the Russian SWF germination of the current peace piece deal.
Update 11-30-25: Witkoff, Rubio and Kushner met with Ukrainian diplomats to work on the peace piece plan.
...the teams sat down at the Shell Bay Club, a golf and racket club developed by Witkoff in Hallandale Beach.
Update 12-5-25: Jared and Ivanka made huge sums while working at the White House for free.
Fresh off flipping his position on releasing the Epstein files, Trump II changed on his characterization of New York mayor elect Zohran Mamdani. Trump II's recent election defeats have him searching for a way to manipulate independent voters back into his camp.
Independents joined in Fall 2024 for economic reasons and have been extremely disappointed in Trump's tampering with nearly everything, while ignoring ever increasing prices. Independent voters fled the Red Team in a huge way causing recent election victory margins of 14-16%. Those are mandates, anti-Trump mandates.
Trump II will do whatever he needs to in the present moment to reveal his greatness. There are no consistent, underlying principles or foundational beliefs. Every issue and event exists to reflect Trump II's magnificence and brilliance such that the world can bow down and say, "thank you Daddy."
Trump's earliest and biggest supporter, Marjorie Taylor Greene, is leaving Congress in January. She offered this on social media:
“If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can’t even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well,”
Apparently, Marjorie saw the guest list for the Black-Tie White House dinner with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. That's exactly who attended.
Trump II needs Mamdani's popularity to rub off on him. Trump needs to be seen as committed to alleviating what Mamdani has referred to as a "cost of living crisis."
Today's bear hug in the Oval Office began Trump's usurping of Mamdani's biggest strength in order to make up for Donald's biggest weakness.
Don't donate more than a pint of public goodwill, Zohran. Trump will take it all.
The world has a split screen where both sides reveal powerful people protected from accountability for their crimes. One side of the screen has the Jeffrey Epstein survivors asking yet again for justice to be meted for crimes committed over twenty eight years and involved over 1,000 victims..
The other side has Trump II defending Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for his country's brutal execution of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump II spoke ill of the victim before saying "Things happen." The Crown Prince referred to it as "a mistake."
Trump insults the living and the dead. He pardons violent criminals, financial fraudsters and saved "the backside" of the Crown Prince (his words).
Trump spoke highly of the Crown Prince in his rambling speech at the U.S. Saudi Investment Conference. It sounded similar to the way he has described Ghislaine Maxwell.
Mohammed bin Salman has been Trump-habbed, as have the Jan 6 rioters. Is Ghislaine next in Trump's "Just Us" irreality?
Trump II indicated the Crown Prince will be on the Board of Peace that will manage Gaza. Should underage girls and journalists, be concerned?
Update 11-20-25: Add execution of Congress members to Trump II's list of desires.
Update 11-30-25: Prior to his recent visit, the Crown Prince sent more business Trump's way.
Trump II was nearly ejected as lead dog in the Epstein files Iditarod. As he faced the prospect of having his nose not far from Rep. Thomas Massie's rectum, Trump flip flopped.
... (Epstein) documents expose a reality less about a shadowy cabal and more about a system of power that operates in plain sight, indifferent to conviction or consequence.
Private equity profits fueled Epstein's predatory operation. Apollo founder Leon Black provided $170 million to Epstein. TechGods sought out Epstein, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk & Peter Thiel.
The billionaires that make government policy enjoy a certain level of protection from what might put ordinary Americans behind bars.
Speaking of protection, Trump II will host a big dinner for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Trump does not want reporters asking about old controversies, Epstein or Khashoggi. We will see if reporters comply....
“This is Trump, you know, at his narcissistic worst because it’s just the mere fact he can’t abide being on the losing side,” Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb said in the interview Monday.
“He could not abide the wholesale repudiation that was headed his way tomorrow when hundreds of Republicans defected and voted to reveal these documents,” he continued.
Trump II's retaliatory rage is on overdrive this weekend. The protector of pedophiles is aggressively fighting the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and attacking one of the lead proponents of sharing that information with the American public.
A former Trump pardon recipient (who said he would turn his life to good) was convicted of running yet another Ponzi scheme, stealing $40 million from his new clients and not paying the $229 million restitution to his prior victims.
I'm sure Trump II, the digital Caligula, can spare another pardon for this repeat financial fraudster.
Trump went after yet another late night comedian and his FCC bootlicker promptly shared his boss' tantrum via his boss' anti-social media site.
Trump II will host the Saudi Crown Prince for a Black Tie dinner this Tuesday. The guest list is not available on the White House website. It will feature two of the top retaliators on the global stage, Trump II and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Both utilize the long arm of government to enact revenge on their enemies, protect their evil friends and personally profit excessively from the people they are supposed to serve.
Update: Trump II wrote on his anti-social media site:
"...House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide..."
Those Red Team House Whips must have whiplash from that Trump II flip flop.
Trump II became a follower on releasing the Epstein files.
Update 11-20-25: Add execution of Congress members to Trump II's list of desires.
Trump II has one simple thing he can do to move the Epstein situation toward a conclusion, release the files. The fact that he is doing anything but that is concerning. It's as if he's sat in the warm Epstein pot for so long, Trump does not realize it's boiling.
The files will show the political giants and major funders from both Teams that Epstein cultivated. It may or may not be clear which ones also preyed on Epstein's underage girls.
"Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring?"-J.D. Vance, TechGod 2021
Now, Trump II hates that people are talking about it. The victims knew Trump was deep in the Epstein circle. The government has consistently shunned Epstein's over 1,000 victims at every turn. That includes both Red and Blue political teams.
I imagine the Trump "Just Us" Department shopped the list of predators for Blue Team members and any never Trumpers of the Red version.
Trump just put in his retaliatory order with Pam Bondi. He'd like the Larry Summers, Bill Clinton & Reid Hoffman. And leave off the Leon Black, Ghislaine Maxwell & the Birthday Book.
Give the people the information, not some twisted version of Trump II's irreality.
Rep. Jamie Raskin said he learned from a whistleblower that Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving special treatment in prison and is in the process of filing a commutation application.
Special treatment includes customized meals, visits by guests allowed to take their computers into the visit and communicate on behalf of Maxwell, service dog in training for her to play with and special time in the prison exercise yard. Ghislaine is reportedly working on a commutation letter as well.
U.S. citizens hate a two tiered system of justice almost as much as they detest pedophiles. Trump II promotes "Just Us" while protecting his former wingman's pedophile circle, where Donald sits firmly in the center.
As for why Trump II would give Maxwell such care and concern, consider this from ABC News:
"I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump," Epstein wrote in a typo-riddled message to Maxwell in April 2011. "[Victim] spent hours at my house with him ,, he has never once been mentioned."
"I have been thinking about that ... " Maxwell replied.
Spoken like a true wing-man and wing-woman in spring 2011. Does any NDA with that victim include all three names, Trump, Epstein & Maxwell?
Eight Blue Team Senators struck a deal to advance the funding bill and reopen government. The over 40 day game of political chicken cost considerable political capital amongst independent voters. Independents considered the Blue Team the equivalent of herpes, but Trump's mouth gonorrhea repulsed the non-MAGA majority.
News reports indicate the government may reopen late this week. That is if our "Savage Whim" President doesn't demolish the deal like he did to the White House East Wing.
Trump II's pardon shitdown, sold as "Just Us", continues in full force with his pardoning at least seventy seven co-conspirators who tried to keep the Donald in the Oval Orifice come January 2021.
The White House Office of Pardon Attorney has not updated their webpage since October 22, 2025.
Disappointed supporters of the Blue Team may recall their cave to America's policy making billionaire class, comprised of private equity underwriters (PEU) and their new political influencer brethren, TechGods and CryptoBros.
Blue Team Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema took turns saving private equity's preferred "carried interest" taxation.
Back then I called the two teams, the Insane Reds and the Blue Lucys. I'm not sure much has changed.
Now Congress can get down to the people's business. That includes serving as a check on both the Presidency as well as the Supreme Court.
It also means turning their attention back to voters, not catering to PEU Legends, TechGods and CryptoBros. That bipartisan catering to policy making billionaires has gone on for far too long.
Update: Trump wants to short SNAP recipients in November. He offered two new ways for financiers to make bigger bank, 15 year car loans and 50 year mortgages. Rising up the pardon list is Epstein's pedo concierge Ghislaine Maxwell.
A Ronald Reagan appointed judge resigned in order to speak out against Trump II, the digital Caligula.
The judge said what news organizations and universities cannot, for fear of giant lawsuits. Add assault on the rule of law to his history of sexual assault, assault on tasteful interior decorating, assault on historic preservation, assault on the memory of outstanding Americans, assault on conventions of losing elections gracefully, assault on judicial decisions via his pardonic whimsy......the list goes on and on in Biblical scroll like fashion.
Virtually everything Trump II does is an assault on something or someone. I thank the Judge for his courageous act and for his naming the rectum in the room.
Update 11-20-25: Add execution of Congress members to Trump II's list of desires.
The demolition derby known as the longest government shutdown in history may end soon. The game of political chicken wrecked a car each day as Senate Reds and Blues refused to veer from their crash trajectories. Each day the Senators exited the wreck, seemingly unscathed.
Election Day 2025 showed there to be internal damage as the public increasingly realizes our leaders care not about us and feel no pressure to show up and do their @#%&*!#$ jobs.
The team in charge of all three branches of government? Independents fled from that group, the one they supported just one year ago. Hispanics turned on their new party, repulsed by the government's treatment of Spanish speaking people with brown skin. The Red team dismissed instances of U.S. citizens, even military veterans, being detained for days with no charges.
The good news is people suffering had no impact on Trump II's golf schedule or his Great Gatsby Halloween soiree. Trump golfed six times in October and celebrated his last round of the month with the demolition of the East Wing of the White House. I guess he wants to make it whiter.
Congress should be feeling serious heat from constituents to do their job and fund government of the people, by the people and for the people. That's not government of the policy making billionaire, by the policy making billionaire and for the policy making billionaire (PEU/TechGods/CryptoBros).
Update 11-9-25: Trump II golfed on November 1st and again on the 8th. He is golfing again today, for the eleventh time since the government shutdown began.
The Senate reached a deal to end the government shutdown and a vote this evening will show if that deal passes. The vote is currently underway according to the Senate live feed. One vote remains:
It will be the deciding vote. There must be some serious offers being extended to this Senator.
The final vote was a Yea, the bill passed and the end of the shutdown may be in sight.
Update 11-13-25: Trump II's SBA Chief went on CNBC to offer nonsense regarding the shutdown. She blamed the Blue Team for not caving sooner while Trump golfed and worked to keep the Epstein files from becoming public.
As Eric Prince called for the return of Colonialism and others want the return of the Aristocracy, First Lady Melania Trump, the wife of our digital Caligula, accepted the FoxNation "Patriot of the Year" award. I named her speech the "Ode to a Few."
There's a strong shout out to TechGods, the greater (Peter Thiel) and the lesser (VP J.D. Vance).
Melania worked in a nod to employers, which includes private equity underwriters (PEU). For fifteen years they've been known as "policy making billionaires."
There's a tip of the hat to Trump II, builder of cities. Trump's newest buildings are going up outside of the U.S. in the oil rich Middle East.
The "common good" arises from "their creation." Not yours, not mine.
Note how God is completely absent from this speech and how many of God's powers have been usurped by TechGods trying to build the science fiction of their youth.
Elon Musk deserves his $1 trillion pay package, recently approved by shareholders, because everything at Tesla is his creation. Musk referred to Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) as "corporate terrorists" after they recommended a no vote on his pay package. One can read his Tesla employee reviews on Glassdoor and know that Elon is missing significant knowledge about leadership, as are many of his fellow TechGods.
Aristocracy is back. TechGods have one simple task, to please Trump II, emotionally and monetarily. As long as Daddy is happy, TechGods can garner huge chunks of federal business and tap Uncle Sam's wallet for $ billions.
We know how much the government pays for a hammer. How much might that "all night algorithm" fetch under a Trump approved deal? Surely, someone at World Liberty Financial knows.
That which is natural and beautiful has virtually no relation to this administration, Trump's band of cabinet lackeys or his insufferable TechGod supporters. TechGods are thrilled that they can dismantle freedoms and harm citizens for riches/status beyond belief.
From God's creation, many wonderful things can arise. TechGods and Trump II intend to pilfer, naturally and inevitably. It's anything but beautiful. It's unGodly.
Trump II, the digital Caligula, pardoned two more fraudsters, the former Tennessee Speaker of the House and his former Chief of Staff. Obviously, they are members of the political Red Team.
The case involved setting up a corporation with a non-existent person as CEO to target government funds. The real person running the organization had to leave his political advisor job due to racist and sexist e-mails. The Speaker of the House exchanged sexually explicit texts with his staffer.
This pardoned pair set up a scheme to churn available government money for the benefit of a creepy former staff member. That sounds on brand for Trump. It also fits with the trajectory of our politically connected business climate that warmed significantly over the last fifteen years for private equity underwriters (PEU), TechGods and CryptoBros.
House Speaker Mike Johnson tried to explain that food prices always go up. What happened to supply and demand? Flashback one month:
President Trump told the United Nations General Assembly late last month: “Grocery prices are down, mortgage rates are down, and inflation has been defeated.”
The Red Team got shellacked in Tuesday's elections with independent voters running away from Republican candidates. I'm not sure Mike Johnson is going to win them back with his "food prices always go up" lecture.
"Always go up" is the Trump mantra for the financial markets and he pried open 401(k) accounts for a spate of risky ventures, private equity, private credit, and crypto. We'll see what Trump II, the digital Caligula and Mike Johnson say if those don't work out for retirees in the manner sold to them.
When did Mike Johnson start using Trump's makeup? I assume that's why his nose looks so different.
I don't want to think about how it might have been applied.
Independent voters sent the political Red Team a huge message in yesterday's elections. As usual, Trump II, pretended not to hear it. The results did ignite his easily triggered, grossly excessive retaliatory impulses. AND SO IT BEGINS
Stick a sock in it, old man. Shut up for once and listen. Independent voters, the group that swings elections, do not want you remaking everything in your image and purloining the public treasury for your family's personal wealth. That began decades ago and it's taken many people time to realize the depths of the insider money funnel fueling both political teams. Trump II made it obvious.
President IT ride your evil clown bus down the revenge ravine and back up the hill of spoils. It's all you are capable of doing. And that's why so many voted for anything but that...
Update 11-20-25: Add execution of Congress members to Trump II's list of desires.
Now that CBS toed the line and allowed Trump II to blather spontaneously with no pesky interruptions, his Tower of Bullshit is nearly complete. The news is to take direct quotes from Trump II and handle them as if they are fine crystal and a magnanimous gift from a King.
When all the news stations become amplifiers for Trump's blatant nonsense his "Tower of Babble On" will be finished. Any similarities between Trump's newest tower of toilets and an AI data center all are purposeful. Neither are in touch with the real world, are voracious consumers of resources, hallucinate frequently and lack any semblance of an ethical, spiritual or moral center.
The January 6th Garden of Tourists sits in a special courtyard for news reporters to use for lunch breaks, when management allows. Building vending machines only accept USD1 or $TRUMP payments. Tips for Trump II are automatically included and will be used to fund his AI library.
The 13th floor is a private club for TechGods and CryptoBros, costing $10,000 a day per person. That's pennies on the dollar each TechGod/CryptoBro stands to pull from the federal treasury under Trump II, the digital Caligula.
The news has a new job, dictation. Given Trump II's nasty personality we can upgrade that job to prick-tation. Bend over reporters and listen intently for Trump has a new line to insert.
While the regular news falls apart America's comedians regularly come to
the rescue and shine the light on Trump's persistent and grandiose
entitlement. Thank God for them.
Brandi Carlisle's new son "Church and State" has roots. Nearly fifty years ago rock band U2 sprung from Irish religious conflict. Their early songs had a distinct sound and often had religious themes.
Around the same time conservative Christian groups formed in the United States. Rev. Jerry Falwell started the Moral Majority and Rev. Pat Robertson established what is now Regent University.
During the time Rev. Billy Graham allied with political leaders. He later grew to rue this decision.
Billy Graham would have spoken less and studied more. As Billy Graham got older, he increasingly valued the life of the mind. Pragmatism and activism needed to be better balanced with more contemplation and deeper thought.
The second regret was that he would have spent more time with his family. The demands of his work and extensive travel detrimentally impacted his family life. Both his wife and children have spoken transparently about the challenges they faced with a father and spouse who was so often absent.
The third regret was not spending enough time in the spiritual nurture of his own soul and fellowship with other Christians who could have taught him, encouraged him, and rebuked him when necessary.
The fourth regret may also be surprising. It was the regret of endorsing partisan politics. As a pastor to presidents and politicians, Billy Graham puts it this way, “There have been times I undoubtedly stepped over the line between politics and my calling as an evangelist.”
Christian Conservatives and U2 did not click. Heavenly wisdom and earthly power usually mix poorly.
Those are the roots for "Church and State." They exist in today's soil, the hardpan desert of Christian Nationalism, a harsh, violent Old Testament version where kings, jewels, armies, loyalty and obedience are prized and where Jesus, the One who taught us a better way, is shoveled to the side.
The roots exist in today's air, polluted by TechGods who have usurped God's domains. God trusted creation to us, not inference machines (AI).
God's heavenly promise of healing and wholeness in heaven is replaced by lurid TechGods wanting to live forever. Revelations in The Bible has been twisted to keep government out of the TechGods business, which by their right is unfettered, unlimited and untaxed.
Some of us believe the TechGods next act (AI) will be legions more harmful than their last (social media).
Some of us believe the people's government should protect us from clear evils, greed, violence (including from authorities), sexual predation, fraud, and persecution, religious and otherwise.
Some of us believe faithfulness begins with loving God and loving our neighbor and extends to keeping alive the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I am grateful to Brandi Carlisle for taking me back and giving voice to the unheard and diminished in today's cacophonous environment, where politicians use religion to divide and manipulate.
Loving God and loving your neighbor are nowhere to be seen in today's political environment. How can that be in a State that wants a specific form of Church? That church must not be real.
Trump II offered several positions recently that I believe he wants to spread in lice like fashion to other areas. First, restarting nuclear testing. It's OK because "everyone else" is doing it, like the kids "6-7". It's not much of stretch to steer that to the Senate where eliminating the filibuster is referred to as "the nuclear option." Trump wants detonations, everywhere, maybe 6 or 7 a week.
The second area where the Trump non-hair weave may be in play, Muslims. Trump threatened to send troops to Nigeria to stop Muslims from killing Christians. Nevermind the practicality or legality of his proposal. There is a Muslim running for Mayor of New York City. Trump wants an image of Muslims killing Christians in people's heads as they go to the polls on election day.
The weave is also a good disguise for Trump's savage whims which have no consistent moral or logical foundation. His retaliatory impulse rages 24 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
There are no discernable behaviors or words showing knowledge of or commitment to the teachings of Christ. Trump does not do service or follow-ship. His iron will, when heated properly, also works well as a hair press.
Be the weave, Donald.....you can work in 6 or 7 ideas as you wave your hands.
Update: The weave is a public diversion for backstage goings on. Biden's pardon of someone he may not know, invalid. Trump's pardon of someone who used $2 billion of WLFI USD1 stablecoin and who Trump doesn't know and pretends there is no question, same sorry thing.
Politicians Red and Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters/policy making billionaires) and their new TechGod/CryptoBro brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
Politics is an insufficient way to explain our world, given its ever shifting sands, serial mistruths and mind numbing double standards. Trump speaks Pablum. He offers blather.
Trump is acting in a rather erratic, and some would say bizarre, manner. I don't think this is as much of a departure from his past performance as some of his apologists may offer.
It's important to remember how strongly his priorities are centered around what he most wants at the moment.
He is intellectually lazy to a fault, and intolerant of any information that does not suit his preconceived notions which are remarkably uninformed. He makes things up as naturally as the average person breathes, and his sycophants imitate him.
His respect for the Constitution and the rule of law is almost nil. And he appeals to others with the same sort of limited perspective.
A recipe for disaster to be sure. And that's what makes it significant for us as investors. Ignore it if you wish, but at some point Cloud Cuckoo-land is going to come crashing down with severe real world consequences for the people are just trying to get by and make a living.
But a significant portion of the American public is caught up in their rebellious fit, and seems determined to bring a wreckage of devices to fruition. This is what motivates a defiance of a reality they reject, preferring to substitute their own.
There is plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle. Make no mistake. But the impulse to reform is being strangled in a fog of engineered distractions and adversarial deceits.
For a 250 year old, America has been acting like a petulant brat, for some time.
Trump II's series of wingman have risen to his defense war making. Elon Musk was Doink, George Santos is Yank and Scott Bessent is Prinx to Trump's Pablum.
Bessent's citing Obama's golfing as problematic is Trump level projection/deflection at its purest nonsense. Trump's henchmen could write for the late night comedians. Their material is that laughable.
The British monarchy took concrete steps to deal with their Epstein problem while Trump II attempts to bury Epstein evidence in concrete.
Maybe that's the reason for demolishing the East Wing. They needed more square footage to dump all those files and videos. Look for Trump II to have a hard hat on supervising the pour. That's the only pour he cares about.
