Ain't That America XXIV

Oh another week where the President-For-Now calls a woman a “piggy,” threatens to murder Democrats and tells a female reporter he doesn’t like her attitude because she asked a hard question. But there is good news in courts, in a MAGAt quitting Congress, and with idiocy in the hands of DUI Pete, so let’s dish a little …

Cankles has called for putting Democrats to death for telling the military they do not have to obey unlawful orders.

Once again, every GOP accusation is an admission, as noted by the fact that Republicans either “didn’t see the story,” think Cankles was “joking” about murder, or “agree with him.”

Vote them all out of office.

Eliyahu “Eli” Weinstein, a New Jersey man whose lengthy prison sentence for fraud convictions was commuted by Cankles in 2021, is back to federal prison for another fraud conviction. US District Judge Michael Shipp handed down a 37-year sentence to Weinstein and ordered him to pay $44,294,803 in restitution, which is due immediately.

Commits fraud, and a grifter lets him out of jail and he immediately commits fraud again.

Wow, no one saw that coming.

Unless they saw this … Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned January 6 rioter, has been charged with sex crimes against two children, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old.

He tried to overturn an election and Cankles pardoned him so he could stay free and rape children. I wonder if Cankles, a sexual predator and rapist himself, will pardon him again.

Cankles said he will not rule out the possibility of sending US troops into Venezuela, as a buildup of US forces in the region raises the prospect of military action there.

Why would a man who campaigns for a Nobel Peace Prize want to start a war … Epstein, that’s why.

Cankles plan to offer a “tariff dividend,” a one-time refundable credit of $2,000 per person for tax units with 2025 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) strictly below $100,000, will cost We The People about $450 billion.

No wonder he bankrupts everything he touches.

The Cankles Regime took down a congressionally mandated report on missing and murdered Native Americans from the Department of Justice’s website to comply with an executive order against diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Not One More Report was the product of The Not Invisible Act of 2020, meant to provide tribes with solutions to combat the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous people and educate the general public about the crisis.

Well, I mean, they’re not White and so why should the government care? For more information go to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives [MMIWR]

Cankles told female a reporter “quiet, piggy” during an exchange on Air Force One about the Epstein files. He also waved his own fat piggy finger in CBS News’ Jennifer Jacobs’ face.

Women scare him because women come him, women will take him down while the male reporters who stood by and said nothing are part of that Cankles Boy’s Club.

Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a German refugee camp a year after World War II ended. His family legally emigrated to America in 1952 when he was five but now, more than seventy-four years later, he has found himself in legal limbo in yet another concentration camp, the so-called Alligator Alcatraz detention camp.

He was picked up on a decades-old deportation order that immigration authorities had previously chosen not to enforce but now, as part of the Cankles Regime’s widespread effort to deport millions of immigrants who it claims lack legal standing to be in America, and after living here for decades at 79-years old, Bojerski is locked up again.

That ain’t America.

A recent tweet, where Secretary of Defense, DUI Hire, Pete Hegseth bragged about the names of recent US military operations, has prompted widespread mockery online. Pete posted:

“OPERATION ROUGH RIDER = Freedom of Navigation for U.S. ships.

OPERATION MIDNIGHT HAMMER = Obliteration of Iranian nuclear sites.

“OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR = Destroy Narco-Terrorists killing Americans.”

“Rough Rider,” “Midnight Hammer,” and “Southern Spear” all sound like either gay strippers or adult entertainment titles or both and people came for Pete with their own suggestions:

“OPERATION BRUTAL PENETRATION.”

“OPERATION MORNING WOOD.”

“OPERATION HUSKY FARMBOY

OPERATION THROBBING MEMBER

OPERATION STRAPPING MANSERVANT”

Oh, Pete, you should lay off the sauce or just come out already.

Marjorie Taylor Greene will resign her seat in Congress on January 5, 2026, in reaction to Cankles and the Epstein files and, more likely, to kickstart her campaign to run for governor of Georgia.

Ding dong, the witch is gone

Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan ... clockwise from top left ...  the six Democratic lawmakers that Cankles wants killed hit back with a powerful statement that shows America that they won't be intimidated into silence:

"We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty. But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics,. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. Don’t Give Up the Ship!"

Resist.

Demand an apology … yes, I know that won’t happen.

Vote Blue and have Congress impeach this Big Piggy the first chance they get.

A federal judge ordered some public-school districts in Texas to remove Ten Commandment displays from their classroom walls by next month.

Here’s the deal: you want your kids to learn about the Ten Commandments, go to church. You want to teach them to read and write and add and subtract, send them to school.

We have a Separation of Church and State for a reason.

William Pryor Jr., the chief judge in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, gave a chilly reception to Cankles’ bid to revive a racketeering lawsuit accusing his perceived political foes—including Hillary Clinton and James Comey—of conspiring against him with false allegations that he collaborated with Russia

Pryor made it clear that he believes Cankles’ lawsuit violated federal court rules by vaguely linking too many defendants and too many legal claims.

It’s almost like his lawyers don’t know the law.

And then a  federal appeals court rejected Cankles’ effort to revive a defamation lawsuit against CNN, concluding that he has not “adequately alleged” the falsity of the network’s references to his stolen 2020 election claims as “the Big Lie.”

How many times does this Piggy get smacked down before he just stops his bull shiz?

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed to fulfill a $36 million multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Cankles Regime. The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to fascist demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage. Katherine Maher, President and CEO of NPR, said in a statement:

“The settlement is a victory for editorial independence and a step toward upholding the First Amendment rights of NPR and the public media system in our legal challenge to [Cankles’] Executive Order.”

It’s also a victory for Resistance.

Department of Defense “contractors” landed on a Mexican beach and accidentally declared it United States territory in a bizarre incident this week.

The group of unidentified men hammered six signs into a beach near Playa Bagdad in Northeast Mexico declaring that the area was “Department of Defense property” and had been classified as a “restricted area” by “the commander.”

The area is roughly twelve miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border and when heavily armed Mexican Navy personnel came to investigate the scene the “contractors” realized they were not in Texas where they would supposed to have landed.

This is our military under Cankles and DUI Pete.

Sean Duffy, the reality show “star” and former Fox News “himbo” has a solution for all the difficulty at airports: Be nice and wear nice clothes.

“We want to push people, as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel.”

Seriously? All those near misses, and crashes at airports, the clusterfuck of the shutdown and its effects on air travel and Little Sean’s plan is to make people put on their good clothes?

The US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 US troops who fought the Nazis in World War II, as a hate symbol.

That’s right, y’all, get that swastika out of mothballs and wear it and wave it proudly as the Coast Guard now calls it only “potentially” divisive.

Oops … it appears that mere hours after deciding a swastika was no big deal the Coast Guard had changed its mind again and will not allow it to wave.

Here’s Minister of Propaganda, and Paid White House Liar, KKKarolying Leavitt’s response to Cankles calling a female reporter a “piggy”:

“He calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration, but he also is the most transparent president in history. And he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access. You are in the Oval Office almost every day asking the president questions. I think the president being frank, and open, and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration — where you had a president who lied to your face and then didn’t speak to you for weeks and hid upstairs and didn’t take your question. So I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from [Cankles] on a near-daily basis.”

I wish the entire room had erupted in their own:

“QUIET PIGGY!”

I don’t know if this is true, but it’s apparently a story told by friends of the Obamas and seemed totally like Barack and Michelle, so I’m going to share it here:

On January 10, 2017, with just ten days left in his presidency, Barack Obama walked into the White House residence late at night to find Michelle packing boxes in their bedroom, and … said, “I feel like I'm abandoning them—all those people who believed in hope and change, and now I'm handing them over to someone who built his campaign on fear and division.”

Michelle stopped packing, sat beside him, and revealed something she'd kept secret for eight years: during his darkest presidential moments, she'd been keeping a journal of letters from ordinary Americans whose lives he'd touched, and she pulled out a worn leather notebook containing 2,847 handwritten entries she'd copied from White House correspondence.

What makes this moment absolutely stunning is that Michelle read him letters until 3:52 AM … [of a] single mother in Detroit whose daughter got health insurance through the Affordable Care Act … a gay couple in Iowa who married legally because of his courage … a young Black girl in Atlanta who told her teacher she could be anything because President Obama proved it was possible … and with each letter, Barack wept harder until Michelle grabbed his face and said:

“You didn't abandon anyone, baby, you showed them what's possible, and that light doesn't go out just because you leave this house.”

The detail that gives chills is that on January 20, 2017, minutes before the incoming President’s inauguration, Barack Obama placed that leather journal in the Resolute Desk drawer with a note for future presidents that read:

“Remember: this office isn't about you; it's about them—never forget the people who trusted you with their dreams.”

Michelle Obama told CBS in 2018 that Barack still carries three of those letters in his wallet, reading them whenever he doubts whether his presidency mattered, and the most worn one is from a nine-year-old boy who wrote:

“Dear President Obama, my dad says you gave him hope when he had none left, so thank you for saving my daddy.”

Proving that presidential legacy isn't measured in legislation or Supreme Court justices, it's measured in the quiet moments when ordinary people found courage because one leader refused to let them give up on America's promise.

Let’s try to get that back. Let’s try to stop a president who threatens to murder Democrats … who pardons child rapists …who drops bombs on boats in the Caribbean apparently for sport … who cares not about missing and murdered indigenous peoples …who may be a child rapist and sexual predator himself … who cares only about the richest of Americans while letting children in this country starve …

An Open Letter To Kathy Griffin ... With A P.S. To Bill Maher

Dear Kathy,

Last week, when that photo of you and The Head hit the internet, I was instantly compelled to write an Open Letter to you. But then I thought I’d hold off, because you’re smart; you’ll realize the idiocy and stupidity of what you’d done, apologize and we’d all move on.

And you did do that ... at first. But then you started losing gigs, from CNN, and from nightclubs around the country—a friend of mine had tickets to see you in September and that show was cancelled last week. And so you chose another tack; you began playing the victim, and it’s not a good look. Kathy.

Last week, at a press conference, you wept and sniveled that your career is over and that Trump “broke” you. No, Kathy, you broke yourself. You didn’t stop for that nanosecond just before the photographer snapped the photo to think if this was the right thing to do. And, I believe that had you paused and thought about it, you might have passed. But you didn’t, and so the fallout is on you, not anyone else.

Yet there you are, crying that the Secret Service  contacted you—they do that when someone makes a death threat against the President and that’s kinda what you did when you held up that mock severed head—and that the Trumps are “trying to ruin my life forever.”

Maybe they are; maybe they should. It was disgusting, but for god’s sake, girl, let it go.

Stop whining and crying about the fallout because the fallout is on you. You should have said it like this:

“I screwed up. I was stupid. The picture was disgusting. I apologize to the President and his family.”

And then you should have closed your mouth on the topic forever. But you can’t do that.

First, you said the video was a parody, meant as a comeback to _____’s remarks last summer—nearly a year ago—about former Fox News personality Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of wherever.”

Seriously, Kathy; you expect anyone to believe that photo was in response to something _____ said a year ago? The man says something idiotic, insane, illogical, stupid, disgusting, nearly every single day, so this “excuse” is one I ain’t buying. Say you’re sorry and move on, mouth shut.  But you can’t ...

“I’m not laying down for this guy. I’m going to keep making jokes about this guy.”

Good. Do that; that’s your gig. But don’t do these kinds of photos ever again. I mean you slipped into Ted Nugent territory; is that where you want to be? Stop this nonsense, stop complaining, stop playing the victim,  until your life truly becomes D-list, if not Z-list.

By doing that photo shoot, and then continuing to talk about it, you are riling up his base, and riling up the most base of the GOP ... in fact, GOP Party spokesmoron Mike Reed said this ... 

“Kathy Griffin’s career was over long before she attempted to make a disgusting joke about decapitating the President. What she did was wrong and President Trump and his family have every right to condemn it.” 

... and then the California GOP sent out a fundraising email calling your photo shoot disrespectful and obscene.

So, thanks for helping them raise money; thanks for getting their base all hopped up again. I seriously thought you were smarter than that.

And stop playing the First Amendment card, the Free Speech card; yeah, you have the right to say whatever you choose, but when you say it, there sometimes are repercussions, and you have to accept those, too.

Even _____’s family coming after you is their First Amendment right, so quit whining about them doing the exact same thing you did. If you say it, own it, accept, and when the shiz hits the fan, apologize and move on.

Move.

PS Bill Maher. Oy. This is a week for allegedly intelligent comedians to say and do stupid things ...

The Real Time host was interviewing GOP Senator Ben Sasse and talking nonchalantly about how some adults still dress up for Halloween. Sasse said he didn’t think that happened in his state, Nebraska, and Maher said he needed to go there; to which Sasse replied:

“You’re welcome. We’d love to have you work in the fields with us.”

And Maher said:

“Work in the fields? Senator, I’m a house n****r. No, it’s a joke.”

Okay, first thing, it’s not a joke, to many white people in this country and to all Black people. Slavery isn’t funny; the n-word isn’t funny when it rolls so easily out of the mouth of a white man.

Worse yet, some in the audience laughed and clapped—while there were some groans. Even Sasse laughed at the comment.

But, the next day, Maher apologized:

“Friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because I’m up reflecting on the things I should or shouldn’t have said on my live show. Last night was a particularly long night as I regret the word I used in the banter of a live moment. The word was offensive and I regret saying it and am very sorry.”

He didn’t make an excuse about being a comic and how he crosses “the line”; he said it was wrong, he was sorry and that should be it. Done.

But, please, Bill, say no more about it. Even to those that are demanding you be fired. I don’t think you should be fired. You said it, wrong, and then you apologized almost instantly. Now keep quiet.

I mean, I am all for Free Speech, and I am all for saying inappropriate things, but racism is not inappropriate, it’s wrong; holding a severed head is wrong.

But the difference between Maher and you, Kathy, is that you keep talking, and whining about this is affecting you. This is a mess that you created, and yet you keep yammering about.

End it.

And to those of you who laughed at the picture, or Maher’s comment, you ought to think twice. I am no fan of _____, but even I knew this was too much; murder, beheading, is not a joke. And do not say to me, “Well, look at all the things “they” did and said about Obama.”

Just because some on the right posted racist pictures and said vile things about Obama does that mean we need to go that low about _____? Or, as Michelle Obama, said, shouldn’t we aim higher? Shouldn’t we stop this kind of chatter?

Yes; when someone says something racist, call them out; when someone posts an idiotic hate-filled picture on social media, call them out. Make it stop by saying you won’t stand for it. Sure, they’ll still be racist, and they’ll still think that photo is funny, but they’ might shut up about it and crawl back under the rug where they belong.

And if we fail—and some of us will—just  apologize, and move on ...

For the love of Free Speech and comedy, Kathy, once again, stop talking.

Rant: [t]Rump and His Threats

Cue rant …

I don’t listen to [t]Rump when he speaks — my remote control has a fully functioning mute button just for that reason — but I do read what he says and, well, it most often annoys me and sometimes it infuriates and sometimes, well …

He said this:

“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the second amendment. And if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the second amendment folks, maybe there is…”

Here’s how I took that:

Hillary is like Obama, if she gets elected she’s coming for your guns — like Obama who has so far in his eight years in office collected one … two … three … oh yeah, no guns at all — but if you wanna stop her from appointing anti-NRA judges to SCOTUS, then the Second Amendment folks can do something about it by not voting for her, and voting for [t][Rump who'll protect your guns.

That’s how I took it; maybe I’m wrong. I might be; I have been before.

Cut to this morning when GMA had professional [t]Rump Ass Kisser, Rudy Giuliani, on to discuss the comment and Rudy says it was nothing … that [t]Rump didn’t mean it …

… well, if it was nothing then why say he didn’t mean it …

… and then he said …

“What about Hillary’s 33,000 emails?”

Seriously. The GOP response to criticism is to not answer the question but shout …

Emails!

Benghazi!

Clinton Foundation!

Sit the fuck down Rudy. You pandering sack of excrement. Your fifteen minutes of fame on bodies of 3,000 dead Americans is over.

And so now, because that fuckwad spoke out, I'm thinking [t]Rump meant what most people think he meant.

Fuck him.

Rant over.

Oops ... maybe not ...

Cue Mini Rant ...

[t]Rump also never said the word "shoot" so for all those liberal news sites and blogs, and you know who you are, who printed the headline that [t]Rump said Hillary should be shot? 

You're part of the problem.

Stop it.

Stop it now.

Okay.

Rant over.

For now.

A Second Centennial Student Is Victimized After Coming Out

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Centennial High School senior Ryan Eichenauer [see post HERE] who, shortly after coming out as gay — though he called it not a coming out but letting people in — received death threats from anonymous students because he had the nerve to be gay and openly gay at that. And now, Noah Ratgen, yet another Centennial High School student is telling the same story, about what happened to him when he came out.

"It hurt — just like calling someone fat or ugly. There's no reason to do it at all. I just don't understand why we're such a big problem." — Noah Ratgen, an 8th grade student at Centennial

After Ratgen came out late last fall, also using social media as a way to tell his classmates, he and his family awoke one morning o find that their driveway had been vandalized.

"On the driveway, written in very large letters: 'God hates fags.' It was absolutely disgusting. I went and washed it off right away." — Brad Ratgen, Noah’s father

The family reported the graffiti to police, but no arrests were ever made; the incident was filed as a hate crime with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. In addition, Centennial Superintendent Brian Dietz says the probe into the death threats left for Ryan Eichenauer was continuing aggressively.

That’s one thing the two incidents have in common: all parties involved commend the school district for their swift action and sensitivity toward the victims. Ryan Eichenauer took to social media to thank the district for how it has handled the situation.

"Centennial High School is a fantastic school, they have done a lot to make sure I, as well as other students, feel safe. I am very glad with how the staff and elders are handling this situation. My only problem is the maturity of other students." — Ryan Eichenauer

It was after learning about what happened to Ryan Eichenauer that the Ratgen family decided to take their story to the media; they wanted Ryan to know he isn't alone in the community when it comes to being targeted for who he is.

"There's reason people do it anonymously. They know it's wrong. They know it's hate-filled. No one wants to be associated. That's why they do it under the cover of darkness at night, why they leave a note on a desk at school." — Brad Ratgen

Both instances began the same way: someone came out as gay. And in both instances the anonymous letter writers and the anonymous vandals used God as the reason for their hate. If these people really believed in God, I wonder how they feel knowing their “God” can hate.

And don’t get me started on those states that are trying to make religious discrimination of the LGBT community legal, because what they are actually doing is making it okay for these so-called God-fearing people to leave death threats on desks and hate messages on the pavement.

That’s not God, no matter what you think of God.
