It’s Not Pretty. . . .

Since January 20, taxpayers have shelled out nearly $71 million for Sleepy Drumpf’s golf hobby. That’s $6.5 Mil each month. HuffPost estimates it will total $300 million before this 2nd term ends.

BTW, he ain’t looking any healthier for all that “exercise”.

Just Sayin'.

Lessons On Pleasing Drümpf.

Offer him a “classic” salute, and shout “All Hail” when he walks into a room.

Then add the classic “Yes, Dear Leader” in response to everything he says. . . .

Remember. . . .too much love is better than not enough love

I thought today I'd change the subject. Ignore the chaos for a day.

I probably flew 2 or 3 million miles between 1975 and 1995. (FYI, those are actual miles, not bonus miles.) In any case, this article seemed a welcome diversion from "real life".

Liars Lie!

Treasury Secretary Bessent offers a list of creative justifications (lies) to defend Drumpf’s economic collapse.

The reality is Higher Unemployment, Tax Cuts for Billionaires, Shrinking of Affordable Healthcare, Hungry Americans.

Liars are always gonna LIE! Drumpf must go.

RE: Sedition.

There was no sedition. Cadet Hegseth and President Bone Spurs missed the part where all 6 people in the video said military personnel must defy ILLEGAL orders. They probably believe Lt. Calley's ordering the massacre of civilians at My Lai was OK.

Just read Tatiana Schlossberg’s (New Yorker) essay, “A Battle with My Blood”. It’s simultaneously difficult and uplifting.

It also reminds me of the ruination of public health by RFK Jr., a thoughtless, know-nothing idiot—is that redundant?

Thank you, Tatiana.

DRUMPF & THE COAST GUARD SIDE WITH HITLER.

New US Coast Guard policy says to display a swastika is not HATEFUL. Really? Ask every American family whose son or daughter was in Europe, 1941-45. Ask families of the millions of Jews & Gypsies gassed and shot by Nazis.

There was clearly a (not so) little piggy in the room. And it wasn't one of the reporters. Drumpf always finds a way to go as low as possible. And then even lower. He's such a disgrace.

Remember this past summer's big ugly tax giveaway, courtesy of Drumpf & the GOP? They cut $1 trillion from Federal health care so the wealthy could get another tax break. Get Ready! Rural & urban hospitals that serve the poorest among us are bracing for the worst.

Here Comes Drumpf’s Big Distraction.

Early next year, Drumpf will green-light war with Venezuela. He will NOT call it “War”, but war it will be. He’ll wait until after Christmas to avoid it being called “Drumpf’s Christmas War.” The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford is already nearby. Get ready!

Drumpf’s War On Fishermen

“Alejandro Carranza, a Colombian fisherman who, his family said, had long plied the Caribbean in search of marlin and tuna, called his teenage daughter. He told her he was going fishing, she said, and would return in a few days. He never made it back.” (NYT)

Drumpf didn’t show up at this week’s COP30 Climate Conference in Brazil but hey, Newsom did.

I guess Drumpf "Gatsby" was too busy. Besides, he's disavowed global climate cooperation, withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris accord, and blocked renewable energy projects at home.

Now that’s vision .

Enough already. Stop analyzing. Stop hand-wringing.

Mamdani won more than 50%.
Democrats said “yes”,
Many Independents said “yes”,
7% chose Sliwa rather than Cuomo.

OK OK OK. I tried to be positive but, of course, Drumpf just can't help himself.

Today Drumpf told states to “'immediately undo' any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if they do not comply." (NYT).

He's a complete douche!

My apologies. I needed something completely removed from that worthless, do-nothing ass in (what's left of) the White House. Something positive, inspiring and uplifting.

Again, completely removed from the aforementioned ass.

• gilded the Oval Office
• paved the Rose Garden
• took a wrecking ball to the East Wing
• building his ugly ballroom
• cut food assistance
• cut medicaid support

Inside a Walmart Dumpster: “I grabbed as much as I could,” she said. “I wasn’t even looking to make sure that it was safe.” (NYT, Nov 7).

For many in America, the dumpster means food. And that's a national disgrace.

Obviously, Drumpf and his administration really don’t give a shit.

As we approach 40 days (and 40 nights) of Drumpf’s government shutdown, traveler's should remember that Air Traffic Controllers are NOT being paid. Drumpf’s 3-step plan:

1. Stop paying air traffic controllers.
2. Expect no problems.
3. Repeat.

FYI, Noah is currently unavailable.

And when Drumpf loses,
