Here’s my speculative take, for what it’s worth. This isn’t a catfight. Sure, Susie Wiles schoolmarmed Trump’s political comeback. But no amount of political strategery can compete with naked seduction. Because the only aides Trump values more than those who stroke his ego are those who stroke his manhood. And, when it comes to the… Read more.

MAGA’s Education Policy Is MEAN: Make Education Awful Nationwide
That leaked Signal chat from Trump’s national security team proves why this administration’s cuts to education are the bureaucratic equivalent of cutting off its nose to spite its face. So the dumbest administration in US history is dismantling the Department of Education. The irony would be laughable – if it weren’t so, well, Orwellian. Still,… Read more.
Trump Is Insourcing Jobs from China, Outsourcing Prisons to El Salvador, Defying Judges at Home
Trump takes jingoistic pride in forcing US companies to bring manufacturing jobs back to America. If they refuse, he threatens tariffs that would make exporting foreign-made products back to the US prohibitively expensive. And he couldn’t care less if this wrecks the global economy – so long as he can claim he’s making manufacturing in… Read more.
James Bond: Fassbender’s Humblebrag About Craig Better Left Unsaid
Fassbender’s concession becomes a suggestion Michael Fassbender appeared on Happy Sad Confused recently. And he made a shocking revelation worthy of that podcast’s quirky name. Fassbender said that, during his audition to play James Bond, he suggested Daniel Craig would be better. You might wonder about the self-esteem or state of mind of an actor… Read more.
Marco Rubio Serving as More Token Latino than Secretary of State
A secretary of state in name only I said from the start that Marco Rubio’s nomination as Secretary of State was about tokenism, not diplomacy. Trump proved me right by stacking his administration with White, DEI (“didn’t earn it”) special envoys, making Rubio irrelevant. Case in point: Richard Grenell, Trump’s envoy of special envoys, was… Read more.
Trump Addresses Nation He’s Made More Divided and Hated Than Ever
President Trump didn’t say anything in his Congressional address last night that he hasn’t said a thousand times. He repeated the same pathological lies and gaslighting tropes, bragging that America is stronger and more respected than ever. In fact, America hasn’t been this divided at home since the Civil War. And it hasn’t been this… Read more.
Republicans Feast on Trump’s Orwellian Beatitudes at National Prayer Breakfast
President Trump delivering the sermon at a national prayer breakfast is like the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan delivering the keynote address at the NAACP convention. Yet, DC politicians dutifully assembled on Thursday to hear his MAGA sermon. But MAGA evangelicals listening to Trump’s blasphemous, self-worshipping drivel had to feel trapped in a… Read more.
MAGA Corporate Values: Andreessen Horowitz Hires Vigilante Daniel Penny
Corporations have lost their soul In corporate America, virtue signaling has morphed into a cult-like ritual. But in their zeal to prove loyalty, corporations now take more pride in hiring far-right MAGA celebrities than they ever did in hiring minorities under DEI policies. Only that explains Andreessen Horowitz hiring Daniel Penny. It is one of… Read more.
Sen. Kennedy Turns Presser on New Orleans Terrorist Attack into MAGA Spectacle
Senator Kennedy: Theatrics trumps service Louisiana Senator John Kennedy cares more about entertaining MAGA Republicans with one-liners than serving his constituents. His disgraceful performance at yesterday’s press conference following the New Orleans terrorist attack proves it. While most public officials focused on the tragic loss of 15 lives, Kennedy seized the mic and ranted like… Read more.
Jerry Seinfeld Regrets ‘Anti-Woke’ Rant
Jerry Seinfeld regrets accusing the ‘extreme left’ of killing comedy. No, it’s not as dramatic as his Seinfeld castmate Michael Richards’ apology for his infamous racist rant. But Elon Musk and other hate-baiting trolls on his ex-Twitter hellscape, along with Trump’s MAGA propagandists on Fox News, were the only ones applauding Seinfeld. So he had… Read more.
