"Because I have common sense and, unfortunately, a lot of people don't."
 Donnie Trump 1-30-25 

As of last Friday, for the first time in American history, the "President" has total control of the Department of Justice and the FBI. And Nazi Elon Musk and his soldiers have control of the Treasury Department's computers with access to the entire financial records of everyone receiving Social Security, Disability, and Medicare and Medicaid benefits. Elon says it's time to cut the fat in order to extend tax cuts for the upper one percent. And who among us disagree with that? 

Last Monday The Full Diaper announced that Colombia had succumbed to his iron will and agreed to accept immigrants flown to them. And Colombia was misspelled in the statement. An hour later the President of Colombia announced that Trump was full of baked beans. They would not accept prisoners flown in on military transports in handcuffs and leg irons. Trump never retracted that statement and his minions repeat it to this very hour. Trump then fired 12 DOJ investigators and ICE raids began in NYC with Dr. Phil filming them. Phil hasn't been a licensed psychologist since 2007 and in a particularly amusing moment was seen screaming to a man in cuffs "How do you know who I am?!" The immigrant answered, "My neighbor has a tv." Insiders report that contrary to press releases, merit among new employees takes a backseat to loyalty to the Ruby Red Rapist. They are asked to describe the moment they had their "MAGA conversion." I'm waiting for the rapture myself. 

Tuesday saw the debut of Trump's new photogenic press secretary Karoline Leavitt whom the subservient New York Times described as a razor sharp tough cookie. Leavitt followed in the proud tradition of her predecessors Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Kayley McEnany and lied her crucifix necklace off. Did you know she's 27 years old and is married to a 55 year old millionaire real estate magnate? Hard to believe! She exaggerated fentanyl deaths by 2000 percent and said arresting migrant workers was an example of Trump "promises kept." Kayley also said the press was the enemy of the people and they were going to allow MAGA podcasters like Tim Pool and Ben Shapiro to join the press conferences because the public demands it.

After announcing that all federal funds would be frozen for 90 days to weed out woke, DEI, and environmental programs a district judge issued a stay for a week. Something about Medicaid funded surgeries and Meals on Wheels being canceled. This freeze was Russell Voight's idea. More about him later. Wednesday was the 3 and a half hour testimony of Robert F Kennedy Jr and his voice and brain worm for Health and Human Services Secretary. In short this man is a compulsive liar, conspiracy theorist, animal abuser, and marital philanderer. What he is not is a doctor nor a scientist. Among his beliefs are that blacks need different vaccines than whites, mifepristone still needs to be researched after 25 years of use, and frogs injected with fluoride turn gay. I didn't make that up. He denied actual quotes from his past and yelled at Senators. 

Obviously he has no fear of melanoma because his skin tone can best be described as "fire engine red." The Republicans will vote him in. And he doesn't know the difference between Medicare and Medicaid but he does know that the premiums are too high. Yes, he's that stupid. 

RFK Jr fielded more questions on Thursday but we also had the hearings for the Russian informant Tulsi "Pepe Le" Gabbard and the One Eyed Assassin $Kash Patel (his dollar sign, not mine). Tulsi's hearing was 4 hours and she refused to answer questions repeatedly. Edwin Snowden, who gave secrets to Russia, is not a traitor, and Putin has every right to conquer and take Ukraine to rebuild the Soviet empire. And she would be in charge of the nation's intelligence information. $Kash Patel would be the director of the FBI and he has published an enemies list of 50 people he would arrest and detain with the help of Attorney General Pam "Easily Bribed" Bondi. These enemies of Orange Jesus include politicians and reporters. He perjured himself time after time by saying his quotes were taken "out of context." I didn't say she was fat, I said she was full bodied. 

In the wake of an aircraft and helicopter collision in Washington DC the dementia plagued Trump declared it was too bad 70 people died and it was Barack Obama and Joe Biden's fault. Never mind Elon Musk got rid of the FAA director just days before. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had a few shots of Kessler's and said DEI initiatives in the military air corps were over.

Our new Transportation Secretary is the white male former star of MTV's "Real World" Sean McDuffy, and he went to the podium and praised Trump's strength and leadership. VP Shady Vance stood up and said there will be no more DEI air traffic controllers. Trump said only people who are "psychologically very very smart" will work for him. If you are a black lesbian amputee you don't have a snowball's chance in Hell. 

Saturday was Happy Tariff Day and people in my community in Southwest Missouri celebrated by flooding Facebook with messages stating that people who believe this will lead to inflation are "crying mangirls" and "libtards." And 200 FBI agents were fired along with 100 DOJ officials. 

For those of you of a certain age a great treat was when the drive in had a triple feature. My personal favorite was the one at the Springfield Drive In that had "Psycho From Texas." (A forgotten classic) Today's "Meet the Press" had 3 stars with each one getting more absurd than the previous. We began with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, still fresh from her 5 plus year extramarital affair with Corey Lewandowski, wearing her Beyonce Cowboy Carter outfit. She bragged about capturing criminals last week in NYC. " Freeze! Hair Extensions ICE!" Trade wars with Canada and Mexico won't cause inflation. Instead they will block immigrants and fentanyl from our fair land. Donnie Trump is very strong and all the countries around the world will fall in line if they know what's good for them. (Drunk Pete Hegseth stated last week bombing Mexico is on the table) If prices go up it won't be our fault. If legal migrants are worried about being deported, that's the media's fault. If women and children are imprisoned at Gitmo, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba that's....and then she changed the subject. She said the American people walk up to her and tell her they feel so much safer with her and the Felonious Monk in charge. And they wish they were as drop dead gorgeous as her. 

Next was Missouri Republican Senator Eric Schmitt. His Warren Zevon song is "Lawyers, Stock Brokers, and Realtors." How about that plane crash? Thoughts and prayers. Beers and bong hits. DEI is code for black people. We have 87 thousand new IRS agents coming for American citizens. That is an out and out lie. These new agents are replacing those who have retired or quit. But hey! It's MAGA! Lies are the standard! Schmitt believes tariffs are the best thing since Mickey's Banana Flips. Canada is a fentanyl hotbed, and Russell Voight as author of Project 2025 would be a great director for the Office of Management and Budget. And Pepe Le Tulsi would be a great overseer of national intelligence. Forget about her ties to the former murderous regime in Syria and her involvement in the religious surfer cult in Hawaii. Look it up. Hoo boy! America loves her! Thanks Eric! 

Last on this three headed monster was Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly. He's a former Air Force pilot and astronaut with the haircut to prove it. Tariffs are not related to border security. The recently passed "Say Her Name" Laken Riley Act allowing Dreamers to be deported for shoplifting prompted Kelly to answer in classic Democratic halfspeak "I hope not." When people say the Democratic Party has no leaders, believe them. 

In other political news Marjorie Traitor Greene was pissed off because Lauren "Handsy" Boebert made the news and she didn't. January 29th was the first day of the Chinese calendar Year of the Snake for you few remaining Duran Duran fans. 

And yesterday Diaper Donnie went out to the White House front lawn and dropped his Depends. Those gathered saw the shadow of Trump's stomach which means six more weeks of binge drinking for the Secretary of Defense. 

Sick of politicians, harassment and laws
All we do is get screwed up by other people's flaws
World turned upside down now, nothing else to do
Live in concrete jungles that blocks up the view
And that ain't no joke
You can disappear in smoke
