Ignorance and Confidence
Until Trump came along, I would have said that the Twain quote here was intended as humor.
Now we can see how true it is, as we have an entire voting bloc rooted in ignorance and confidence.
Removing Trump
I seriously doubt that anyone wants to see what is described at left, insofar as it’s unconstitutional.
What most Americans want is:
a) Congress removes Trump from office using the 25th Amendment.
b) He’s then indicted on the wide variety of felonies associated with corruption, inciting a riot, theft of government documents, war crimes, treason, etc.
c) He’s tried, convicted, and incarcerated.
What’s Happened to the United States?
The foreign policy of the United States is a catastrophe, putting it mildly.
We could begin with the tearing up of the internationally negotiated treaty with the world and Iran and then move on to starting a war with them shortly after “obliterating” their nuclear capacity. From there, we have the attempt to annex Greenland from our (former) NATO ally Denmark, trying to make Canada our 51st state, taking over the Panama Canal, and capturing Cuba and Venezuela.
In all, we’ve become a rogue, pariah nation.
Statement from China’s Leader
Did Xi Jinping actually say this? As much as I’d like to believe it, I can’t.
There is nothing noble about the man, and China has been trying to take over the world for the last 6000 years.
To their credit, however, they have used economic pressure rather than military force, and that appears to be winning the day.
Of course, Trump’s tariffs are making China’s job that much easier, as their effects on world trade continues to make the United States increasingly irrelevant.
If left unchecked, the current presidential administration will render America as powerless as Bolivia in world economics.
ICE Agents at Polling Places
The reader who sent me the meme here writes: No problem. I’d also feel safer that no liberal crazy would bust in and harm me.
I wonder how many people have been injured at polling places in the 250-year history of the United States, and I’d be particularly curious as to how many were hurt by liberals, meaning, per the Oxford English Dictionary: “(those) willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas.” Do we seem like bullies and thugs?
As is the custom of the day, we’re fabricating data to scare idiots into demanding solutions to problems that don’t exist. Voter fraud is virtually nonexistent, and among undocumented aliens happens even less frequently, since they don’t have the ID to get on our nation’s voting rolls in the first place.

All Americans Are Learning an Important Lesson
Even our nation’s dimmest bulbs, the tens of millions of people who comprise Trump’s loyal base, are starting to learn something that those of even moderate intelligence find obvious: When you appoint despicable people to government office, they tend to behave in scandalous ways that embarrass the nation.
Trump’s recent actions, e.g., attacking the Pope, depicting himself as Jesus, and starting a war that has sent gas prices skyrocketing are starting to grind on the MAGA crowd.
This bodes well for the recovery of the United States from the malaise into which it has fallen. It appears that there is a point of rock bottom to our nation’s stupidity and depravity.
The Crackpot Du Jour Claims the 2020 Election Was Rigged
Over 60 separate courts have found no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged in favor of Biden. Even given that, every month or so, we have a renewed assertion that a) some crackpot has irrefutable evidence that the election was rigged, and b) that (unfortunately) he can’t release this proof at this point.
To no-one’s surprise, this month it’s FBI Director Kash Patel.
Maybe he thinks he has nothing left to lose.
I advise him to give Mike Lindell a call, the pillow magnate who was ordered to pay over $2.3 million to Eric Coomer, a former Dominion Voting Systems executive, for defaming him with false 2020 election rigging claims. A federal judge later upheld this verdict in March 2026, rejecting attempts to overturn it.
There Is No Imperative to Debate Conspiracy Theorists
As shown at left, scientists are under no obligation to respond to idiots.
We Kill Each Other Over Oil
Ensuring that oil remains the predominant transportation fuel is vital to enabling rich people to get richer.
The fact that war is the main tool to maintain this situation is also key to enormous wealth; the U.S. “defense” budget has topped $1 trillion.
This Insanity Deepens
You might have thought that the scenario at left was impossible. Here’s a racist moron lecturing the Pope on “matters of theology.”
