The United States spends over a trillion dollars per year on defense and security. MAGA Republicans are determined to gut the federal government, but military and security spending is exempt from cuts. We show what we consider important by how we spend our money.
Congress plans to ban deep fake porn. This troubles me greatly. If passed, I won’t be able to make graphics of President Trump fucking the American people.
Hey, MAGA fans, Robert Kennedy, Jr. wants you to swim in a bacteria laden river or lake to boost your immune system. Dive in and open your mouth wide, Americans. Time to cull the herd.
Republican and Democratic legislators alike want criminalize speech in opposition to the nation of Israel. Criticizing Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people is labeled antisemitic. It’s evident that most politicians couldn’t define the difference between antisemitism and anti-zionism if their lives depended on it.
Millions of Palestinians are hungry or starving. What does President Trump talk about? Building a glitzy monument to excess in the West Bank. Spoken like a man who has never missed a meal a day in his life.
Am I the only one who is embarrassed every time King Stupid opens his mouth to speak? His crazy rants remind me of conversations among patients at a state mental hospital.
Four months into the Trump presidency, I’ve concluded that the President is a bully who loves to cause people to fear what might happen to them if they dare go against him. As a result, many law firms, corporations, politicians, and media companies have stopped speaking truth to power. And like most bullies, Trump will fold if people and companies stand their ground. Why so many business leaders and politicians don’t understand this is perplexing, to say the least.
It is clear, at least to me, that former President Joe Biden never should have run for reelection. Had Democrats understood this earlier, they could have had a real primary to choose a candidate to run against Trump. I have no doubt that Kamala Harris would not have won the primary.
Any thoughts about battling climate change are over. President Trump is doing everything he can to destroy the climate. My grandchildren will pay the price for Trump’s anti-climate, anti- environment agenda. Species are dying off, and that includes us.
It’s summertime. Time to attend ballgames and concerts. Last week, we heard A Girl Named Tom. This week, we plan to hear The Fray. Other concerts on the schedule include 1985 (an 80s cover band), Killer Queen (a Queen cover band), Buffalo Rose, and Redferrin (country). Also on the schedule are minor league and Cincinnati Reds baseball games, dirt track car races, and plays, dance recitals, and baseball/softball games. Other concerts will be added later once they are announced.
Bonus: Want a kitten? We have eight of them. Two of last year’s feral cats had a litter of four kittens each. We do what we can for the stray and feral cats who visit our yard. However, we already have four cats — all strays — so we cannot take any more in. I plan to talk to the humane society about establishing a trap/neuter/release program for our community. The cats aren’t to blame; the assholes who abandoned them are. Someone told me that I should stop feeding the cats, and then they will go elsewhere. True, but I firmly believe I have a moral obligation to do what I can for the cats. All the cats survived the winter thanks to the heated boxes we put out for them. On some cold nights, there would be 4-5 cats in the boxes. I still felt sorry for them, but I’m glad they survived the winter.
