Trump’s Peace-Prize Resume

Trump has publicly asserted that his administration ended the following conflicts:

  • Israel–Hamas: Brokered a ceasefire in October 2025 after two years of war. Despite hostage releases, over 400 Palestinians and 3 Israeli soldiers have died since the deal, raising doubts about its durability.
  • Cambodia–Thailand: Trump signed a peace agreement in late October 2025. Fighting resumed shortly after, undermining the claim.
  • India–Pakistan: Claimed credit for a ceasefire, but India disputed the characterization and no formal peace was ratified.
  • Rwanda–DR Congo: Mediated talks that led to a tentative agreement, though implementation remains incomplete.
  • Armenia–Azerbaijan: Brokered a deal that still awaits ratification and has not fully stopped hostilities.
  • Egypt–Ethiopia: Claimed resolution of Nile River disputes, but tensions persist and no binding treaty was signed.
  • Kosovo–Serbia: Facilitated talks that led to a temporary agreement, though enforcement is weak.
  • Israel–Iran: Claimed credit for ending a 12-day war, but threats and proxy skirmishes continue.

The Places Trump has disturbed the Peace, threatened, or provoked a war

Canada – Trump wants to force it to be our 51st state. –

Portland, Oregon – Even nude cyclists and frogs couldn’t stop I.C.E. invasion.

Greenland – The easy way, or the hard way!

Venezuela  – First they came for the fishing boats.

Los Angeles, California – He sent the national guard against the will of the Mayor and the Governor.

Washington, D.C. – Now MAGA can go to Washington restaurants safely, that is, if you’re not worried about employees spitting in your food.

Minneapolis, Minnesota – The murder of Renee Nicole Good.

Chicago, Illinois – Chicago Chicago, that tawdlin’ town.

Denmark – Nice island you got there.  It would be a shame if anything happened to it.

Norway – Give me the Peace Prize, or I’m gonna stop being so peaceful.

Cuba – Little Marco wants Cuba.

Ukraine – Trump’s first impeachment case.  He’s had a special feeling for them in the place where his heart should be.

Europe – Let’s just say that Trump has screwed up everything so much that we’re rooting for German soldiers to prevent a U.S. invasion of Greenland.

Nigeria – One small step for Trump.  One giant step to bringing apartheid back to Africa.

Trump is attacking the home states of his political foes.

Obama, Chicago – Operation Midway Blitz involving large-scale operations and helicopter-led raids on Chicago.

Kamala Harris – California – Major raids in Los, Angeles.

Tim Walz – Minnesota – Major raids in Minneapolis, which included the murder of Renee Good.

All this from the man who claimed that Biden weaponized the Justice Department.

I.C.E. stands for Ignorant Collaborators Employed by the Gestapo.

If you’re doing something honorable, why do you need to wear a mask to hide your face?

Real cops don’t wear masks to cover their faces, unless they’re the Lone Ranger.

End the I.C.E. Age.  Impeach Trump and his henchmen.

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Earl

Questions We’ll Still Be Asking in 2026

Yes, we the people are still talking about Jeffrey Epstein.  We know from his trial and your trial with E. Jean Carroll that you and your beastie bestie were both sexual predators.  How were you, or people you know, involved in his sex trafficking?  We’d also like to know why Ghislane Maxwell was transferred to a country club prison after meeting with your personal lawyer, B. Todd Blanche.  Will you pardon her if she keeps her mouth shut about you and Jeffrey Epstein?  How many times was your name redacted from those Epstein files?

We’re wondering why our government, which used to only kill foreign nationals in secrecy through CIA covert black operations, is now openly committing War Crimes and atrocities against Venezuela and putting the incidents on television for the whole world to see.  Of course, we will probably never see the video of the second drone attack on September 2, 2025, the strike that was ordered to kill two survivors in the water.  Does “Kill Them All” also mean Leave no witnesses?  Have you ever read the Geneva Convention? When push comes to shove, who will you throw under the bus to save yourself, Pete Hegseth or fat generals?

People are also talking about the Venezuelan Oil Tankers that were pirated, not by Somolli pirates, but by U.S. armed forces.  Is this about oil, or are you trying to start a war with Venezuela?  We’ve noticed that you are cozying up to the idea of calling illegal drugs “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” Donald Rumsfeld would be proud of you. 

We’d also like to know why you’re more interested in helping Russia than Ukraine.  Do you want to do to Greenland, what Russia is trying to do to Ukraine?  You tried to force Ukraine to sign a peace deal that was written exclusively by the Russians without any input at all from Ukraine.  Whose side are you on?

What incriminating evidence does Russia have on you?  The Mueller Findings resulted in the arrest of many of your associates.  Is that why you closed those and other investigations?

Why, at the 2018 Helsinki summit, did you publicly side with Russian President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election?  Does it have anything to do with your multiple Casino Bankruptcies and subsequent financial recovery thanks to the help of Russian Oligarchs?  Will you give U.S. citizenship to any Russian with $5 million dollars, while deporting actual American citizens and sending them to brutal prisons in foreign countries, even after numerous court decisions have barred you from doing this?

Why are you purposely driving us away from NATO and the rest of our democracy-loving allies around the world, while you praise dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un?

We’ll also talking about the skyrocketing cost of living for the average person, while Billionaires get huge tax breaks. 

Why won’t you admit that your Tariffs are basically a sales tax that is forcing American Consumers to pay higher prices, while you still try to peddle the lie that China is paying the Tariff?

We’d like to have answers on why American Math scores rank 36th in the world, and why even you, a college graduate, are so mathematically ignorant that you repeatedly claim to lower drug prices by 500%, 600%, 700% 800% or more, when everybody with a rudimentary knowledge of math knows that lowering a price by 100% makes it free.  We know that you were already convicted of 34 counts of Felony Fraud in New York.  Was that bad math, or just another con like Trump University, which defrauded students and the Trump Foundation that robbed charities?

Why do you continue to annoy and threaten Canada and Greenland?

Why did you pardon violent Insurrectionists who attacked police officers and pardon people who defrauded Americans of millions of dollars, and even pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of smuggling tons of drugs into the U.S.?  Maybe you just don’t like the idea of former Presidents going to prison for their crimes.

What was your involvement in the January 6th insurrection?  You called the people who were arrested, heroes and patriots, so you must have been in favor of it.

What about the Fake Electors you used to try to nullify the election you lost?  Who was behind that?

How about the Georgia phone call where you tried to pressure Brad Raffensberger to give you the election?  How many votes did you want him to add to your total?

We have questions about why foreign tourists no longer wish to visit and spend their money in the United States.  We also would like to know why you’re trying to turn the United States into a police state, sending armed troops into states where they are not needed or wanted.

We still have questions about the Classified Documents you stored in your guest bathroom and shared with others at Mar-a-Lago who did not have security clearances.

Why did you destroy the East Wing of the White House?  Was it so that you could have a fancy ballroom to entertain the billionaires who have donated to your campaign for Kingship of the United States?  Why are you giving billionaires big tax breaks while shutting off American humanitarian aid that saved the lives of thousands of impoverished people worldwide, mostly children?

Why do Cabinet meeting always have to start with a full round of ass kissing?

Why do you insist on defying court orders and the Constitution, which you swore under oath to uphold?

We know all about the Hush Money Case you tried to deny, but we have questions about what quid pro quo you plan to give the Billionaires who are contributing to your campaign and funneling money to you?  How much outside money have you gotten as President.  How much did you grift on the hats, t-shirts, watches, coins, mug-shot mugs, phony AI action cards, etc.?  Where, for that matter, are the tax returns you vowed to release once the IRS cases were settled?  Are they tucked away in the same safety deposit box as the Health plan you’ve been promising to release for over a decade?

We also have plenty of Emoluments Questions that we’d like answered.  What was the quid pro quo in the $400 million aircraft presented by the Qatari royal family and the U.S. and Qatar finalized aviation and defense agreements totaling over $243 billion, including Qatar Airways’ purchase of up to 210 Boeing aircraft?  Will that plane be going to your Presidential Library? We know you don’t like to read. Will there be any books besides Mein Kampf in your library?

Have you tried on the ceremonial gold crown you got from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung?  This preceded expanded U.S.–South Korea security cooperation and trade adjustments.

Do you really believe that a made up FIFA Peace Prize qualifies you for a Nobel Peace Prize?

You also got gold bars and ancient artifacts from several Middle Eastern nations, some of which are estimated to be worth tens of millions. These were presented during diplomatic visits that coincided with defense procurement and energy deals.  How big a bribe does a country have to make to get a deal with the United States nowadays?  How much has your family’s net worth grown since you’ve been in office? How many golf courses have you opened around the world?

You accused President Biden of weaponizing the Justice Department, but you’re the one who has turned it loose on your political rivals and political enemies such as James Comey and Letitia James.   How do you explain that?  How do you explain your campaign against Freedom of Speech for comedians like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and others?

Whose idea was it to put up the ridiculous picture of an autopen for Joe Biden on the Presidential Walk of Fame?  Are you really claiming that you never used the autopen, even though there are so many people who you claim not to know who have been given pardons by you?  Who added the disgusting plaques which mock the other Presidents?  Did you write those yourself?  They look like some of the revolting middle-of-the-night tweets that you post on your mendacious social media site.

If you are still alive, will you run for an illegal 3rd term in 2028?  In a follow-up question, do you think you’ll still be alive in 2028?  What medical problems are you covering up with bandages and make-up? Why did your doctors order an MRI test?  Do you take medical advice from Robert Kennedy, Jr.?

Speaking of the Kennedys, where do you come off putting your name on the Kennedy Center? 

And Trump Class Battleships??? You know that “Trump Class” is an oxymoron don’t you?

Do you really think that all that orange make-up you pour on makes you look better than Zohran Mamdani?

Will you ever apologize to the Central Park Five, who you tried to have put to death for a crime they didn’t commit?

Tell me, Mr. President — what exactly should we be done talking about, and which news stories are too inconvenient to revisit in 2026?

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Earl

Own Goal

In soccer, the most humiliating mistake a player can make is the own goal — kicking the ball into the net you’re supposed to be defending. For Republicans, their own goal was Donald Trump.

Terrified of his MAGA voting bloc, Republican congressmen abandoned their constitutional duty of checks and balances. They kissed the ring, rubber-stamped his Cabinet picks, and confirmed judges without scrutiny. In doing so, they surrendered their power — not to the people, but to one man.

The result was a Cabinet filled with incompetence. Loyalty tests replaced qualifications. Pete Hegseth, among others, became emblematic of this rot — a figure whose reckless decisions may one day be judged in the harsh light of accountability. Meanwhile, scandals were buried, Epstein files delayed, and oversight abandoned, all to avoid the wrath of Dear Leader. This wasn’t governance. It was capitulation. And like any own goal, the damage was self-inflicted.

The consequences of this submission are now plain. By elevating loyalty over competence, Republicans enabled chaos, and did nothing to lower the cost of living for working-class people. Families struggling with rent, groceries, and healthcare found no relief from a party too busy protecting Trump’s ego to protect their constituents. The GOP’s obsession with appeasement left ordinary Americans footing the bill for dysfunction.

And then came the moment that crystallized the absurdity: Nobel-snubbed Donald Trump accepting the inaugural “FIFA Peace Prize.” A made-up gold trophy, a medal, and a certificate — handed to a man whose tenure was marked by division, not diplomacy. It was a parody of statesmanship, a photo op masquerading as honor. The image of Trump smirking beside a bewildered FIFA official will live on as the perfect metaphor for the GOP’s descent — a party so committed to the illusion of victory that it mistook satire for achievement.

Now, the scoreboard is shifting. Miami just elected a Democratic mayor for the first time in 30 years. That victory is more than symbolic; it is a crack in the dam. Gerrymandering won’t save the GOP in 2026 when voters connect the dots: Republicans chose to confirm incompetence, cover up corruption, and ignore the economic pain of working families. The floodgates are opening, and history will remember not just Trump’s failures, but the complicity of those who enabled him.

The irony is rich. In their desperation to protect themselves from Trump’s base, Republicans scored against their own team. They weakened their brand, alienated moderates, and set the stage for a blue wave in 2026 and a blue tsunami in 2028. Miami is the first ripple, but it won’t be the last.

The GOP thought they were defending their net. Instead, they kicked the ball straight in. And history will record the Trump era not as a victory, but as the greatest own goal in American politics.

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Pay to Play

In 2025, President Trump issued a wave of controversial pardons that raised eyebrows across the political spectrum. While presidential clemency is a constitutional power, the pattern of recipients suggests a troubling trend: those with wealth, influence, or political loyalty were far more likely to receive mercy than those without.

The Donors and Allies Who Walked Free

  • Juan Orlando Hernández: The former president of Honduras was convicted of trafficking over 400 tons of cocaine into the United States. His pardon followed lobbying efforts by Trump ally Roger Stone. Roger Stone, by the way, was pardoned by President Donald Trump on December 23, 2020. He received a full and unconditional pardon for his conviction related to charges of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and other offenses connected to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Stone had been sentenced to 40 months in prison, but his sentence was commuted and then fully pardoned by Trump.
  • David Gentile: Orchestrated a $1.6 billion Ponzi-style fraud targeting over 10,000 investors. Praised by Trump’s pardon czar Alice Marie Johnson.
  • George Santos: Convicted of wire fraud, identity theft, and campaign finance violations. A vocal supporter of Trump.
  • Changpeng Zhao: Founder of Binance, convicted of money laundering. Binance had promoted Trump family crypto ventures.
  • Trevor Milton: Founder of Nikola, convicted of securities fraud. His business aligned with Trump’s economic messaging.
  • Rod Blagojevich: Former Illinois governor who attempted to sell Obama’s Senate seat. A former contestant on Trump’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”
  • Devon Archer: Convicted in a $60 million bond fraud. His ties to Hunter Biden were used by Trump to fuel political attacks.
  • BitMEX Co-founders: Pardoned for violating anti-money laundering laws. Their crypto influence aligned with Trump’s push for digital finance.
  • Henry Cuellar and wife: Facing federal bribery charges. Trump framed their case as DOJ overreach.
  • Michele Fiore: Convicted of charity fraud involving police memorial funds. A vocal MAGA supporter.
  • Scott Jenkins: Involved in a “cash-for-badges” scheme. Tied to Trump-aligned law enforcement circles.
  • Let’s, also, not forget the 1600 MAGA-merch-wearing insurrectionists who were pardoned by Trump for their attack on the Capital and Capital Police. He called them heroic patriots.

These pardons share a common thread: political loyalty, economic influence, or usefulness to Trump’s narrative. While no direct bribes have been proven, the optics suggest a system where clemency is granted not based on justice, but on proximity to power.

Meanwhile, over 80 Venezuelan boatmen—accused of drug smuggling but never tried—were killed in U.S.-led maritime strikes. They had no lobbyists, no campaign donations, no celebrity connections. They didn’t “Pay to Play.” They paid with their lives, and Trump and Hegseth should pay for their “Kill them all” war crimes with Impeachment and prison.

No Kings, the Rally Heard ’round the World

Yesterday’s No Kings Rally wasn’t just a protest — it was a reckoning. A mosaic of causes, signs, and voices, all bound together by one unifying thread: We the People have been stirred to action. Not by policy differences. Not by party loyalty. But by the cruelty, the malignant narcissism, and the corrosive influence of Donald Trump.

Fascism began as a Roman metaphor: a bundle of sticks (fasces) symbolizing strength through unity. One stick breaks easily. A bundle resists. Mussolini twisted that into authoritarianism. Hitler weaponized it. And Trump? He tried to make the bundle serve only him — demanding loyalty, punishing dissent, and mocking the vulnerable.

But yesterday, we reclaimed the bundle. Not as a tool of domination, but as a symbol of democratic resistance. Many years ago, Chief Tecumseh taught the same lesson with arrows. The Founders echoed it with E Pluribus Unum. And yesterday, the signs told the story.

The signs and speeches were about:

  • Protecting reproductive freedom
  • Defending LGBTQ+ rights
  • Expanding healthcare access
  • Preserving Social Security and Medicare
  • Combating climate change
  • Supporting veterans and mental health
  • Raising wages and strengthening unions
  • Reforming immigration and criminal justice
  • Fighting voter suppression and gun violence

These weren’t isolated chants. They were verses in a shared anthem: We the People demand better. And we demand it together — because cruelty in power has a way of clarifying what really matters.

And then came the sign that stopped me cold: “They’re eating the Epstein files.”

It wasn’t just funny. It was surgical. A jab at the elite’s appetite for secrecy, distraction, and self-preservation. As the files trickle out, the public appetite for truth grows — and so does the suspicion that someone’s chewing through the evidence.

This wasn’t a rally of factions. It was a rally of fusion. The bundle is back — not in the hands of tyrants, but in the grip of citizens. We’re demanding accountability from Government, and we’re doing it together.

So next time someone asks what the rally was about, tell them this: It was about E Pluribus Unum. It was about We the People. It was about refusing to be ruled by cruel tyrants ever again.

Be there for the next rally.  Courage is contagious.

Peace & Love and all of the above,

Earl

The Department of Vengeance

As America prepares for the No Kings Rally — a celebration of democratic resistance and constitutional humility — it’s worth asking: what kind of kingdom are we resisting?

Recent headlines suggest we’re not just dealing with a president. We’re dealing with a monarch-in-waiting, armed not with a crown, but with a blacklist.

He’s already renamed the Department of Defense the Department of War — now he’s eyeing the Department of Justice for a makeover: the Department of Vengeance.

Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire to punish his political enemies. He’s called himself “your retribution”. He’s floated criminal referrals for Letitia James, who dared to hold him accountable for civil fraud. He’s targeted James Comey and John Bolton, not for crimes, but for defiance. And he’s done it all while testing the waters of public appetite for vengeance — a campaign strategy that doubles as a loyalty test.

This isn’t justice. It’s grievance cosplay.

The so-called Department of Vengeance isn’t a real agency, but it might as well be. Trump’s allies have proposed purges of federal institutions, loyalty oaths for civil servants, and even a new “Department of Government Efficiency” — a euphemism for gutting agencies that don’t kiss the ring.

Let’s be clear: this is not about restoring order.  It’s about rewriting the rules so that dissent becomes disloyalty, and accountability becomes treason.

And yet, the system resists. Grand juries refuse to indict political targets. Judges push back. Juries — those pesky peers — still ask for evidence, not vendettas. The machinery of democracy may be creaky, but it hasn’t collapsed.  Journalists, too, are standing up.  They walked out of the Pentagon after they refused to sign agreements that they would only write approved stories.

So, as we gather for the No Kings Rally, let’s remember: the crown isn’t just a metaphor. It’s a warning. When a leader builds a Department of Vengeance, he’s not just settling scores. He’s auditioning for tyranny.  Trump is a wannabe Fascist, but like John Bolton once said, “To be a fascist, you have to have a philosophy. Trump’s not capable of that. You know, Adolf Hitler wrote a profoundly troubling book called Mein KampfMy Struggle. Donald Trump couldn’t even read his way all the way through that book, let alone write something like it.”

Nonetheless, Dumb Donnie wants his revenge fantasies. We just want to keep our republic.  Join the rally and help us.

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Earl

Don’t Believe Me, Just Watch

Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda, is most often associated with the quote: “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”  Goebbels’ propaganda strategy was repetition, emotional appeal, and the manipulation of public perception.

Jen Psaki recently aired a chilling montage: 36 Sinclair-affiliated newscasters in 36 different cities reciting the same exact script, word for word. It wasn’t a blooper reel—it was a broadcast strategy to “flood the zone” with their message.  “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.”   Ironically, their message was “We’re concerned about the troubling trend of false news…” Obviously, the irony was lost on them.  What are the odds that 36 different opinion influencers in 36 different cities all had the very same word-for-word opinion about a current problem?  You have better odds of hitting the Powerball Grand Prize. When 36 newscasters in 36 different cities say the same exact thing, it’s not journalism—it’s choreography.

This isn’t just lazy journalism. It’s tactical repetition—a propaganda technique.  Joseph Goebbels believed that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes truth, not through evidence, but through echo.  The modern Republican messaging follows this blueprint with eerie precision. When a false claim emerges—whether about elections, vaccines, or climate—it’s not debated. It’s deployed. Within hours, the same phrases surface across Fox News, congressional tweets, and local radio. It’s not persuasion. It’s programming.  This isn’t about disagreement. It’s about manufactured consensus. The goal isn’t to win an argument—it’s to flood the zone with noise until truth becomes indistinguishable from fiction.

  • It starts with Centralized Messaging: GOP operatives distribute talking points like marching orders. The purpose is Repetition Over Reason: The same phrases—“weaponized DOJ,” “rigged election,” “woke indoctrination”—are repeated ad nauseam.  Then comes the Emotional Anchoring: Lies are tied to fear, patriotism, or outrage, bypassing logic and triggering tribal loyalty.  The final step is to Flood the Zone. Currently, the Republicans are blaming the government shutdown on Democrats. Not with nuance, not with evidence, but with a synchronized chant: “Democrats are shutting down the government to give billions in healthcare to illegal aliens.” It’s an outrageous lie. A loud, coordinated, cynical lie. But it’s everywhere—on cable news, in press releases, across social media. The goal isn’t persuasion. It’s saturation. “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.” 

This isn’t new. But the scale, speed, and shamelessness of its practitioners are unprecedented.

When truth becomes optional, democracy becomes ornamental. Plato warned that unchecked rhetoric leads to tyranny. Goebbels promoted it. And today’s Republican echo chamber is actually proving that it works in real time.  They were able to get a twice impeached, convicted rapist and felon elected to the highest office by spreading lies without caring if they were true or not, “They’re eating the dogs!”

We don’t need censorship. We need media literacy, moral clarity, and the courage to call the repetition of lies what it really is: a weapon.

“Don’t believe me, just watch.”

Bigger than Kimmel: Psaki shows what’s really behind the comedian’s suspension

If you don’t want to hear the entire story, fast forward 5 minutes into the video to get to the reveal.

If you’re disappointed that this post was all about Propaganda instead of Bruno Mars, I included the Bruno Mars video to make you feel better.

Internal Combustion

Trump won the election claiming that immigrants were drug smuggling, rapist, pet eating criminals, and he would get rid of all of them.  Instead of putting criminals in jail, on his first day in office, he let 1500 J6 rioters out of jail, including violent criminals who assaulted police officers, leaders of terrorist organizations like the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, king-pin drug dealers, and child pornographers.  I guess he’s hoping that these thugs will rally to his defense again when he needs to stage his next coup attempt.

Trump also won the election claiming that he would end the war in Ukraine on Day One.  He didn’t, and now it’s Day 4.

Trump also won the election saying that he knows how to hire the best people, but he nominated some of the absolute worst possible people to his cabinet and to head the Department of Defense and other government offices.  The only qualifications he seemed to care about were sycophantic loyalty to him and a Fox News employee I.D.

Now I hear that Donald J. Musk and Elon Trump are engaged in a jealous power struggle.   How sweet.  I hope nobody breaks up this fight.

To all those Americans who are worried and afraid of this administration, I offer hope.

Trump claims that God saved him in an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.  But, will that same God save him from attacks from within.  History has shown us that sometimes the greatest attacks come from that direction.  Trump hates real sharks, but he is now surrounding himself with a vicious hoard of deadly land sharks, that would make his buddy Hannibal Lecter nervous.  He has hand-picked a group of advisors who have no moral compass, and many are heavily armed gun nuts.  He hasn’t learned from history, because he is too stupid to even study history.

Philip II of Macedonia: He was assassinated by one of his bodyguards, Pausanias of Orestis, in 336 BC.

Xerxes I: The Persian king was killed by his Royal Guard commander, Artabanus, in 465 BCE.

Caligula: The Roman Emperor was assassinated by members of his own guard in 41 AD.

Laurent Kabila: The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo was shot by one of his bodyguards in 2001.

Salmaan Taseer: The Governor of Punjab, Pakistan, was killed by his bodyguard in 2011.

Indira Gandhi: The Prime Minister of India was assassinated by her own bodyguards on October 31, 1984. Her bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, were both Sikhs. This tragic event occurred in the aftermath of Operation Blue Star, a military operation ordered by Gandhi to remove Sikh militants from the Golden Temple in Amritsar.

Trump has surrounded himself with predators who will do anything to feed their own narcissistic fever dreams.  Alex Jones is a right-wing conspiracy theorist and talk show host known for his controversial views and clashes with various public figures, including Elon Musk.  Steve Bannon is also going after Elon Musk.  When they’re finished with him, or he is finished with them, there will eventually be a power struggle with Trump himself.  Trump’s friends don’t always stay his friends.  Just look at his fixer lawyer Michael Cohen.  They hate each other now.

Cannibalism is present in the animal kingdom.

Praying Mantises: Female mantises sometimes eat their mates during or after mating.

Black Widows: The female black widow spider is notorious for eating the male after mating.

Lions: Occasionally, a new dominant male lion will kill and sometimes eat the cubs of the previous male.

Hamsters: In certain stressful conditions or if resources are scarce, mother hamsters might eat their young.

Sharks: Some shark species practice intrauterine cannibalism, where the larger embryos consume their smaller siblings within the womb.

Polar Bears: These bears sometimes resort to cannibalism, especially when food is scarce.

So, keep the faith that Trump’s evil oligarchy will not last.  It’s survival of the nastiest in the Trump world, and they will eventually start eating their own.  In the meanwhile, organize to flip the Congress in 2026, so that we can quickly fix whatever damage Trump causes.  In the immortal words used by Abraham Lincoln, “This too shall pass.”  As Trump surrounds himself with vipers, he should also be aware of the immortal words of the very mortal Caesar, “Et tu, Brute?”

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Earl

Monday, Monday, Can’t Trust That Day

On Monday, January 20, 2025, Donald J. Trump, a convicted felon, who is no longer permitted to own a gun, will be handed the nuclear codes as he is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

There might be a slight rumbling in the cemetery grounds in Plains, Georgia on that day as the flags that have been lowered to half-mast to honor President Jimmy Carter, will be raised to full staff for the day just to accommodate the Narcissist-in-Chief. The predicted cold weather, though, will force the ceremony to be held indoors.  Too bad.  I’d really like to see all the 77 million Maga-morons who voted for him freezing their asses off on the National Mall as they waited for the price of bacon and eggs to instantly come down.  I guess that his staff will just have to Photoshop the indoor ceremony to make it look like a record crowd.

I’m wondering if all the people Trump nominated for cabinet positions will be there.  If so, will there be anyone left to work at Fox “News” that day.

Of course, there will be entertainment.  The one remaining member of The original Village People will sing YMCA, so that America will get to see Donald Trump do his “crazy hand jive” where he appears to be giving hand jobs to two people at the very same time.

I wonder if Trump will just use the same dance moves when Kid Rock takes the stage to sing:

Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy

Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy

Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up jump the boogie
Bawitdaba, da-bang, da-bang, diggy-diggy-diggy
Said the boogie, said up drop the boogie (get ready)
My name is Kid
Kid Rock!

Ahhh, they don’t write love ballads like that anymore.

I wonder if the bookies in Las Vegas are taking bets on which Bible he will use for the swearing -in ceremony.  It has to be the $60 one he hawks with Lee Greenwood.  Product placement, baby.

I also wonder if he’ll bother to bring back all the classified documents he has been storing in his Mar A Lago bathroom.  Since he charges his Secret Service security detail an exorbitant amount for protecting him, while he is there, I can only think that he will also hand his new Secretary of the Treasury, a hefty bill for the four long years he has stored the documents.  Let’s see, $2,000 a month for 48 months….

I can’t really see much difference between Trump’s new official photograph and his State of Georgia mugshot, but I guess he wanted to show a new suit and tie so he can peddle swatches of the material to his cult followers for $99 a swatch. After all, a buck is a buck, at least until Elon converts it all to Dogecoins.

I’m just surprised he isn’t wearing his pirate ear patch anymore.  I guess they stopped selling.

So, America, enjoy the weekend, or like they say, “Eat, drink, and be merry for Monday we die or get deported.”

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Oh Canada, We Stand On Guard for Thee

Remember when Trump changed the course of a mighty hurricane by using a Sharpie pen?  Well, his Sharpie pen is still changing the world.  The latest change was that the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America.

He’s not ready to stop there, though.  In a recent press conference, President-elect, Donald Trump announced his intentions to acquire Canada, the Panama Canal, and Greenland.  Remember back in 2003 when we were upset with the French for opposing our invasion of Iraq, and we reacted by swapping out the word “French” for the word “Freedom.”  We had Freedom Fries, Freedom Bread, Freedom Dressing, Freedom Toast, Freedom Vanilla, Freedom Manicure, Freedom Doors, Freedom Onion Soup, Freedom Braids, Freedom Kissing, and Freedom Ticklers.

Now that Trump is preparing an invasion to acquire Canada as the 51st State, how long will it be before the far right starts texting things like Freedom Club Whisky, Freedom Dry ginger ale, Freedom Bacon, and Freedom Geese?  Maybe, they’ll finally stop shooting Bud Lite cans with assault weapons and switch to blasting cases of Molson Canadian Ale, excuse me, Molson Freedom Ale.

To prepare myself for the world domination plans of the Orange Menace and his ultra rich creepy sidekick, Elon, I watched the movie Canadian Bacon, starring Alan Alda, John Candy, and Rhea Pearlman.  In the movie, Alan Alda plays a President with a low approval rating who tries to start a Cold War with Canada to appease defense contractors and boost his ratings.  John Candy plays the sheriff of Niagara Falls, who is swept up in the madness and invades Canada.  Rhea Pearlman plays a wonderfully psycho Deputy Sheriff who blasts the hell out of the Toronto Tower.  I sure hope they never show that movie to Donald Trump while he’s in the White House.

When Trump is finished with Canada, I guess he’ll start on Panama, and be texting about Freedom Hats, Freedom Jack, and Freedom Red.  Then, Panamanians will be subject to the same slurs he now uses on other immigrants from the south, drug smuggling rapists who eat your pets.  Freedom Red, Freedom Red.  He’ll steal your woman, then he’ll rob your head, Freedom Red, Freedom Red.

I can’t think of anything with Greenland in the name except, well, Greenland, itself.  Since those on the far right believe that Global Climate Change is a hoax and the Green New Deal is absolute poison to them, I guess they’ll just change the name of the country from Greenland to Oil-land, or more likely, Trumpland.  Oil and minerals rights might be the reason that Trump wants it.  Unless, of course, since it is halfway between the U.S. and Russia, he could be planning weekend getaways with his favorite dictator, Vladimir Putin.  Suck it, Kim Jong Un.

Trump’s trying to sell his Greenland acquisition idea as a 21st century Louisiana Purchase.  To me, it just seems like another con to divert America’s attention from the fact that he can’t lower the price of eggs and bacon and that his 25% tariff will probably even raise the cost of many items.

Many Canadians are worried about Trump’s plan to make it the 51st State, especially since Trudeau resigned as Prime Minister soon after Trump’s announcement.  I would like to remind them that in 2024, there were about 240 million eligible voters in the U.S.  Approximately 75 million voted for Trump.  Approximately 72.5 million voted for Harris.  Around 95 million eligible voters did not vote at all.  Thus, around 68.8% of eligible voters did not vote for Trump.  Trump may have an iron grip on his MAGA supporters but, I want to reassure our Canadian neighbors that the rest of us still live in the real world, and we will oppose him.  “Oh Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

Peace & Love, and all of the above,

Earl
