An embarrassing dolt

Trump at the U.N.: A Global Embarrassment

Trump may as well have been drunk at the United Nations. In front of the entire world, he babbled his way through a circus act disguised as a speech. Other leaders—some trying not to smirk, some staring in disbelief—surely realized that the supposed leader of the free world was completely off the rails.

It wasn’t diplomacy; it was a late-night rant with a global microphone. Trump hurled insults at nations as if he were still working the crowd at a MAGA rally in some county fairground. He bragged, he lied, and he rambled with that familiar mix of self-congratulation and paranoia. The spectacle was so unhinged that you could almost hear foreign translators asking themselves, “Did he really just say that?”

The MAGA gang back home didn’t notice a thing. They never do. They live on a steady diet of Trump droppings—Fox News clips, right-wing radio, and social media nonsense—that filters out reality. To them, this wasn’t the collapse of American dignity on the world stage; it was “telling it like it is.” But outside the MAGA bubble, other countries looked on and thought: The United States has put a madman in charge.

This wasn’t just bad optics. World leaders left the U.N. session recalculating. They saw a country that once stood for stability and reason now represented by a man who couldn’t string together coherent policy without mixing in a personal grudge. Allies cringed, adversaries cheered, and America’s reputation took another gut punch.

Trump’s insane speech at the U.N. wasn’t just embarrassing—it was dangerous. When the world’s most powerful nation looks unhinged, every dictator and opportunist takes note. And while MAGA continues to clap for the emperor’s naked rants, the rest of the world shakes its head, wondering how long America can survive with a lunatic holding the microphone.

Busted Flat in Baton Rouge

Is America Great Again?

Trump says we’re “winning,” but check your grocery receipt. If this is winning, I’d hate to see losing.

The Grocery Store Reality Show
Food prices are up 25% since 2019, but don’t worry — Trump says it’s fine. A pound of ground beef is $5.35, eggs are 60% higher than pre-Trump, and milk is starting to look like a luxury item. We’re being pissed on and told it’s a gentle rain — except the rain costs $4.50 a gallon and spoils before payday.

The Paycheck Magic Trick
Household income is flatlined at about $74,000, but rent for a two-bedroom is now $1,900. That’s not “great again,” that’s “great depression practice mode.” Home ownership? Forget it. The American dream has been outsourced to millionaires who can actually afford the down payment.

Trump’s Vengeance Tour
Meanwhile, what’s the big man doing about it? Nothing — unless your problem is not enough vengeance in your diet. He’s too busy turning the Oval Office into the world’s pettiest grievance desk. Every rally is the same: shout about enemies, wave fists, sell hats. While Trump’s working out his therapy issues on stage, Americans are working out which bills not to pay this month.

Now Featuring: White-Collar Misery
The fun is just beginning. For years, layoffs were a blue-collar special. Now, white-collar workers are on the chopping block. Tech and finance layoffs are up 50% over last year. That MBA isn’t looking so shiny when you’re back living in your parents’ basement, wondering if DoorDash drivers get dental.

The Gentle Rain Scam
So yes, America is “great again”—if your definition of greatness is paying more for less, watching your job evaporate, and getting lectured by a guy who thinks vengeance is a policy platform. We’re all standing in the downpour of Trump’s second act, and he swears it’s just a gentle, patriotic drizzle.

Spoiler: it’s not rain.

Different Free Speech

Trump’s Free Speech Vacation Package

Remember when the First Amendment meant you could actually say things without worrying about the knock at the door? Well, under Trump’s “Make America Gag Again” program, free speech is now a luxury getaway. You can ski, you can tan, you can shop… just don’t try opening your mouth.

The Poem

You can ski on the mountain, you can tan on the beach,
But whisper the truth and you’ll face a grand breach.

You can shop at the mall, you can grill on your deck,
But say “Trump lies” and they’ll come for your neck.

You can dance at the wedding, you can sing at the wake,
But mocking Dear Leader’s a yuuuge mistake.

You can pledge to the flag, you can pray at the steeple,
But don’t question the Donald—or bye-bye free people.

You can drive in your car, you can stroll down the street,
But speech isn’t “free” when the jail cell’s your suite.

So ski, and go tanning, and keep your mouth shut—
Because freedom’s a right… till Trump kicks your butt.

---

The Amenities Package

Here’s what’s included in your Free Speech Resort stay:

• Fox News Cabana Service: Loungers get a steady drip of conspiracy cocktails, shaken not fact-checked.

• KMOG Radio Karaoke: Sing along to the same three lies on endless repeat—perfect for MAGA family fun nights.

• MAGA Rally Buffet: All-you-can-eat red hats, seasoned with rage and sprinkled with “Lock Her Up” chants.

• 24/7 Surveillance Spa: Where AI tracks your tweets, and Trump personally adjusts the temperature on your ankle monitor.

The Punchline

Think of it as the First Amendment’s new travel advisory:

“You are free to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you in a Trump campaign rally.”

So pack your sunscreen, your skis, and your duct tape—
because in Trump’s America, free speech isn’t a right, it’s an all-inclusive MAGA resort.

1 in 10 Americans is an idiot

Trump’s Harvest of the Simple-Minded

So, with the help of Artificial Intelligence this morning, I asked: what percent of Americans will believe literally anything Trump says? The answer: about one in ten. Which means America is basically running a Costco-size sampler pack of idiots. And—surprise!—most of them vote.

Now, science can’t give us a precise number for “stupid,” but let’s just say it’s not in short supply. Sprinkle in the fun fact that the United States is ranked 28th in education, and suddenly it all makes sense: Trump isn’t campaigning, he’s harvesting low-hanging fruit.

Think about it—if you’ve got millions of people whose critical thinking skills tap out somewhere between “Where’s the TV remote?” and “Did I leave the fridge open?” … you don’t need a platform. You just need a slogan and a red hat.

America doesn’t have a shortage of voters. We have a surplus of gullible ones—and Trump knows exactly how to cash in.

I just watched this video interview of the bumble-flumpers gathered at Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Phoenix.

Imagine showing up to a funeral service dressed in your Trump Halloween costume.

Tea Party is rotten to the core

The Great Tea Party Eviction

So, apparently, I’ve been officially expelled from the Tea Party. Which is impressive, considering I was never actually a member. It’s like getting kicked out of the Vatican when you’ve never even been Catholic.

Here’s how it went down: Shirley Dye — local Tea Party royalty — calls me up and says, “I’ve got a letter for you.” Already shady. But fine, I meet her at the grocery store. She hands me this masterpiece of fiction. According to Shirley & Friends™, I’m persona non grata in their club.

Naturally, they couldn’t keep the fun to themselves. They read the letter out loud at their meeting like it was the Dead Sea Scrolls of MAGA righteousness. And then, for extra spice, they broadcast it on their favorite noise machine: KMOG, our very own MAGA Radio.

Now here’s the kicker: when Shirley gave me the letter, I said, “Great! Let me come to your meeting, stand on stage, and answer questions about all this nonsense.” You’d think they’d jump at the chance to grill me, right? Wrong. That door slammed shut faster than Trump dodging a subpoena.

Because let’s be honest — the Tea Party isn’t allergic to lies. Lies are their multivitamin. Truth, on the other hand? That’s like sunlight to a vampire. They’re not letting it anywhere near their clubhouse.

The Vengeance President our savior Lord Trump and the finger dogs

Trump has reportedly told Attorney General Pam Bondi to go after anyone who dares speak ill of him. Like a loyal lickspittle, she probably will. Meanwhile, Americans sit warm, well-fed, and glued to their TVs—so who cares?

Yesterday, along Highway 87, Democrats held their signs and raised their voices in protest. In return, Trump’s disciples offered the sacred MAGA salute: the middle finger. His Majesty, Lord Trump—perhaps more fittingly, His MAGAsty—rules over a kingdom of grievance. His followers crave revenge, not reason. They don’t see how they were gutted by the very system he embodies. Instead, they revel in flipping off anyone they blame for their misery.

Trump himself has become the ultimate middle finger—a living, orange-hued insult to decency and democracy. His MAGA army, lost in the wilderness of the internet, are spoon-fed stupidity by right-wing dolts and call it truth. They cheer as he burns down the house, never realizing they’re inside it.

Hitler, and Stalin will be coming to your neighborhood soon

AI: The New Engine of Control

Everybody’s singing the AI song like it’s harmless new pop. I don’t hear a tune — I hear an alarm. AI isn’t just another gadget. Left unchecked it becomes the perfect tool for control: faster, cheaper, and far more invasive than any propaganda machine of the past. Autocrats already use it to monitor, repress, and silence dissent; that’s not a dystopian prediction, it’s happening now. (Journal of Democracy)

Imagine a ruler who can know everything you wrote, where you went, who you met, and what you said — a ruler who can flag you as “bad” with an algorithm and make that judgment stick. If you think dictators like Hitler or Stalin would’ve loved this technology, you’re not wrong: history shows authoritarian regimes eagerly reach for better tools of surveillance and social control. AI hands them a power multiplier. (Journal of Democracy)

This isn’t hypothetical geography-class history. Look at today’s examples: China runs hundreds of millions of cameras and increasingly ties them to facial-recognition and profiling systems — roughly a camera for every two people, by some estimates. (Wikipedia) Iran and other repressive states are already using digital tools — apps, cameras, and even AI-assisted monitoring — to enforce dress codes and control women’s lives. (The Guardian) Russia’s digital apparatus likewise tightens control and tracks citizens in ways that chill speech and protest. (Los Angeles Times)

We’re not just talking about cameras. Combine corporate data, phone tracking, facial recognition, predictive algorithms, and censorship tools — and you get an automated system that can flag, isolate, and punish people at scale. The war on free speech has started; AI will make it routine, invisible, and harder to fight. (Journal of Democracy)

And if you’re wondering what a “King Trump” with access to these tools might do — look at how surveillance and suppression already operate elsewhere. This technology won’t create tyranny by itself, but it will make repression faster, cheaper, and more efficient for whoever controls it. Tracking your car, reading your posts, mapping your contacts — these are no longer sci-fi scenarios. They’re the next frontier of control. (Wikipedia)

If we care about freedom, we should stop treating AI as neutral tech and start treating it like the political force it already is: a tool that can champion liberty or crush it, depending on who holds the levers. The choice is political — and we’re running out of time to make it.
