Ain't That America XXVIII

Let’s once again start with some good news, good votes, standing against the regime, and speaking up before discussing the Grieving Grifter and Melanie’s panties …

In a special election for Kentucky State Senate District 37, Democrat Gary Clemons won the election with 72.5% of the vote.

This is the Resistance at work.

After a closed-door deposition with the House Judiciary Committee last week, attorneys for Jack Smith, the former special counsel who led the criminal cases against Cankles, demanded their client to be allowed to testify in an open forum:

“[We] reiterate our request for an open and public hearing. During the investigation of [Cankles], Mr. Smith steadfastly followed Justice Department policies, observed all legal requirements, and took actions based on the facts and the law. He stands by his decisions.”

The GOP is scared that Smith will speak in public and reveal the facts of this case and proof Cankles guilty of criminal activity.

Ohio Democrat Representative Joyce Beatty is calling out faux-christian KKKarolying Leavitt for not telling the truth about the “unanimous vote” to add Cankles’ name to the Kennedy Center; Leavitt lied:

“I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the [Cankles]-Kennedy Center.”

Surprise, but this was not the case at all, and Joyce Beatty, who serves as an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center, shared a very different version:

“I'm Congresswoman Joyce Beatty … I was on that call. And as I tried to push my button to voice my concern, to ask questions, and certainly not to vote in support of this, I was muted. Each time I tried to speak, I was muted. Participants were not allowed to voice their concerns who were online. Yet it was said at the end, it was a unanimous vote.”

This is completely unsurprising, as the regime lies about literally everything.

A Siena College poll shows that New York Governor Kathy Hochul has a 19-point lead over her Republican challenger, New York GOP Representative Elise Stefanik, in a hypothetical 2026 general election matchup.

And so Stefanik, who garnered zero support from Cankles has quit the race before it really began and has announced she will also resign from Congress.

This is one goose-stepper who was kicked to the curb by her own regime.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that former Superintendent, and cultist, Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Board of Education [OSBE] violated the Open Meeting Act by approving new K-12 social studies standards promoting Christianity to public school students by making changes to standards without notifying the public or providing notice to the other OSBE members.

The court declared the standards invalid according to Americans United and reinstated the prior version of the standards enacted in 2019.

Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis has announced that she will not seek re-election to the Senate in 2026:

“It’s an incredible honor to represent Wyoming in the U.S. Senate, and throughout my time here, Wyoming has been my one-and-only priority … Deciding not to run for re-election does represent a change of heart for me, but in the difficult, exhausting session weeks this fall I’ve come to accept that I do not have six more years in me. I am a devout legislator, but I feel like a sprinter in a marathon. The energy required doesn’t match up.”

If anyone thinks this isn't Lummis getting out now and then running for office once Cankles is gone so she can play the "I did nothing wrong" card is a special kind of stupid.

A Cynthia Lummis kind of stupid.

Senate leaders gave up on trying to pass a government funding package before adjourning for the holidays, punting the issue to the new year—when lawmakers will have just a few weeks left to avoid another government shutdown.

Senators tried to make an eleventh-hour attempt to find a path forward on bringing up a bundle of five bills but Democratic Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper of Colorado announced they would hold up the package after White House budget director Russ Vought’s decision to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

It has been reported that the dismantling of the climate center is retribution from the regime for Colorado Democrat Governor Jared Polis refusing to allow a pardon of QAnon nutbag Tina Peters from state prison.

Resisting extortion!

Minnesota Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar, one of the first Muslim women in Congress, wants GOP Representative Randy Fine expelled for Islamophobic remarks. The Minnesota Democrat’s campaign sent out an email blast citing comments Fine made in a House committee hearing stating about “mainstream Muslims” specifically:’

“I don’t know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction, I think you destroy them first.”

Fine proudly shared the clip of his Hate Speech online.

Fine also called for denaturalizing and expelling all Muslims living in the United States.

At the end of CBS’ heavily promoted Saturday night town hall with Erika “Grieving Grifter” Kirk, CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss promised viewers that there would be “many more conversations like this in the weeks and months ahead” on the network.

Trouble is, no one was watching ; according to early numbers from Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel measurement, the one-hour CBS News town hall drew 1.548 million total viewers and 237,000 in the coveted advertising demographic of viewers aged 25 to 54.

The Erika Kirk sit-down declined 11% in total viewership compared to the network’s normal programming of reruns and was down 41% percent in that key demographic.

And like Cankles, CBS is rewriting history saying the town hall was actually up compared to the network’s programming in recent weeks.

Uh huh.

In September, Cankles’ assistant Margo Martin shared a video of a hallway filled with the portraits of former presidents and calling it the "The Presidential Walk of Fame.” The video she shared panned over multiple portraits of former presidents before lingering on an image of Biden's autopen signature.

Cankles has long lied that Biden’s pardons were signed using an autopen, citing a report which has been used by rightwingnut and mainstream media morons to fuel claims about Biden’s cognitive decline.

The Biden plaque that refers to him as "the worst President in American History" who took office "as a result of the most corrupt Election ever seen in the United States."

A plaque installed under the portrait of former President Barack Obama refers to him as “one of the most divisive political figures in American history." It, among other things, criticizes the Affordable Care Act as "ineffective" and derides other policies that would be "later terminated by [a narcissistic, racist fuckmonkey called [Cankles].”

It’s really a Walk of Shame of a President who cannot get anything done other than bitch and moan and kvetch about being a loser.

I want to plaque dedicated to Cankles:

I like it.

Erika “Grieving Grifter” Kirk says Turning Point USA, the hate group her husband founded, would work to elect JD Vance president in 2028 as infighting over the future of the GOP took center stage:

“We are going to get my husband’s friend JD Vance elected [in 2028].”

I’m not sure, I wasn’t there, but I wonder if she mentioned that she would then become First Lady once she orders CouchFucker to dump Usha. And, if so, does she know she'd be playing second fiddle to a sofa?

The Justice Department released thousands of new records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week but at least 550 pages in the documents are fully redacted because nothing says transparency like blacked out text and nothing says Cankles isn’t a child raping pervert like making sure any mention of his name is not seen.

I need Pammy Jo Bondi to be arrested for crimes against America and aiding and abetting a rapist.

PS Democrat Congressman Ro Khanna and GOP Representative Thomas Massie say they are committed to holding Justice Department officials, especially Pammy Jo Bondi, accountable for their failure to release all eligible Epstein files by Friday’s deadline.

Good.

At a rally in North Carolina over the weekend to talk about affordability—gas is down to just 30-cents in some areas, and eggs are free, and healthcare is … well, eggs are fee—Cankles got wrapped up in one of his Doddering Demented DonOLD rants about Melanie’s panties and the FBI raid on Mar-Illegal:

"They went into my wife's closet ... they looked at her drawers … Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded perfect, wrapped. They're, like, so perfect. I think that she steams them."

With the American people facing double and triple costs for healthcare in the New Year, with a rapist in the White House threatening war with Venezuela, his main concern were that his wife’s panties … which he has been in since Melanie said “I do” were touched and not by him.

Seriously.

What can we do? Oh, I know …. 

Ain't That America XXVII

We’re doing things a bit backwards today and starting with good news, resistance news, and news of a shift in the GOP, before moving on to the Party of Party Over Country, swearing their allegiance to a rapist, racist, predator, adulterer, con artist and war criminal, so let’s go …

In the wake of the Florida’s mandated removal of the Key West’s Pride crosswalks homeowners across the island have made their yards a little brighter by painting seven of their fence posts in rainbow colors.

But alas, the rainbows are also unpermitted in the historic district as Susan Kent learned the hard way when a neighbor, Penny Walker, a self-proclaimed “Christian Republican,” filed a complaint. Kent received a letter from the city’s Historic Architectural Review Commission alerting her that the city had received a complaint from Walker, who took to X to boast about her hate.

Kent painted over her rainbow to come into compliance but also said:

“Don’t worry, I have something else planned.”

This is Resistance ay work.

And in the same vein, St. Petersburg, Florida said it is honoring the Pride street murals removed earlier this by installing eleven “Pride-inspired bike racks” along Central Avenue and 25th Street. The city says the bike racks are “a vibrant way to honor the Pride street murals that were removed earlier this year due to state requirements.”

Again we see the Resistance at work ... in Florida where the city of Miami has elected its first Democrat Mayor in over 30 years!

Last week House of Representatives voted to overturn Cankles’ executive order ending collective bargaining rights for two-thirds of the federal workforce. It marks the first time in Cankles second term that the House secured enough votes to smack his bulbous orange melon.

The measure faces an uphill battle as it heads to the GOP-controlled Senate but the House did its job for a change.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis has told Cankles he cannot pardon Tina Peters:

“Tina Peters was convicted by a jury of her peers, prosecuted by a Republican District Attorney, and found guilty of violating Colorado state laws, including criminal impersonation. No President has jurisdiction over state law nor the power to pardon a person for state convictions. This is a matter for the courts to decide, and we will abide by court orders.”

Snap.

Shortly after that Cankles “symbolically” pardoned Peters which means absolutely nothing.

Indiana Republican state senators voted against a redrawn congressional map that would have favored their party in the 2026 elections, a resounding rejection of a plan pushed by Cankles to help his floundering GOP win all nine of the state’s congressional districts.

Twenty-one senators from the Republican supermajority and all 10 of the chamber’s Democrats voted down the redistricting proposal, which would have split the city of Indianapolis into four districts and potentially eliminated the districts of the state’s two Democratic congressional representatives.

Good on the Indiana GOP.

For a second time in a week, a federal grand jury in Virginia has refused to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud and once again told Pam Bondi and her criminal DOJ to pound sand.

My guess is that Pam Bondi will run around Virginia looking for a court to do her dirty work for her but it looks like she won’t have any luck.

Illinois Democrat Representative Delia Ramirez is pressing the House Judiciary Committee to begin impeachment hearings into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem AKA Border Barbie AKA DogKiller Kristi AKA Koncentration Kamp Kristi.

Michigan Democrat Representative Haley Stevens filed articles of impeachment against HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on a litany of charges mostly related to his efforts to roll back public health measures.

Another Michigan Democrat, Representative Shri Thanedar  filed articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary DUI-hire Pete Hegseth over both Signalgate and a reported double-tap strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean.

If we take the House in November these criminals can be removed from office.

The Secretary of State is America’s top diplomat managing foreign policy, negotiations, passports, and advising the President, but in the case of Marco Rubio it’s also Font Control.

You see, last week Rubio  ordered American diplomats to use the Times New Roman font in official communications and drop Calibri, which was brought in during the Joe Biden administration and is now described as a “woke” font.

Seriously.

As the cost of nearly everything is going up, and the so-called president says the affordability crisis is a Democratic hoax, Ohio GOP Senator Jon Husted has a solution:  

“Look, there are three ways to make things more affordable: earn more, keep more of what you earn, and drive down prices.”

Or maybe vote these self-entitled, multimillionaires who don’t worry about the costs of things out of office.

Nancy Mace, South Carolina’s GOP loon of a Representative is playing the ‘poor me’ card:

“We have to take our security very seriously, if you’re conservative, if you’re well known, if you have fought the transgender community exponentially like I have, in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s public assassination— the death threats, the amount of political violence, the celebration of the killing of conservatives is deeply disturbing …  I had an incident just three weeks ago — it was the last time I was in public — I had a leftist person come up to me aggressively, physically threaten me in front of a group of people, including my security.”

In the three weeks that Mace claims to have been in hiding, she’s made a least a dozen appearances on cable news and has voted on multiple bills before the House, including just a few minutes ago, so once again Nancy Mace shows herself to be a liar.

Cankles and several administration officials have already informally discussed the idea of preemptively pardoning an array of his advisers, policymakers, and others who the president believes will likely be criminally investigated once Democrats are back in power.

But, gosh, is this the regime admitting they are criminals if they are seeking pardons before any charges, much less any investigations, occur?

Ahead of his reelection bid next year, Senator, and former Miss South Carolina Magnolia Queen, Lindsey Graham dropped his support for the Dream Act, a bill to help undocumented immigrants and a bill that he co-sponsored each time it was introduced for nearly a decade, saying:

“Yeah, there will be no Dream Act. Not until you deal with the millions of people here illegally.”

Is he suggesting there are now more undocumented immigrants in this country than were here for the last ten years or … is he just following orders from Cankles so he can have his cotillion at Mar-Illegal?

House Speaker Mike Johnson said the military’s decision to attack an alleged drug-smuggling vessel for a second time to kill survivors of an initial strike was “entirely appropriate” and followed Defense Department rules.

How Christ-like.

Erika Kirk, AKA The Grieving Grifter,  says some of her late husband’s controversial comments, lacked context and that he should not “be deteriorated” to a few sentences. Things like:

“MLK was awful. He's not a good person. He said one good thing he actually didn't believe.”

“There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

“The Democrat Party supports everything that God hates,

“This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift more conservative. Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge.”

“Black Women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously.”

Yes, Erika, I see exactly what you mean … about how Charlie said women should submit their husbands and how they are not I charge and yet here you are making money off the fetid corpse of your former racist husband.

Take a seat, grifter.

Cankles went to the Army-Navy game to do the coin toss and proved himself a bumbling buffoon who cannot even toss a coin; in fact, he looks like he setting a baby bird free, and then points to the ground like a child to where the coin landed:

Help us!

This Is The GOP & Why You Need To Vote Blue

Here we are again, with a wee taste of the lunacy, racism, criminality, and bigotry and hate inside the GOP and it’s going around the country …

CONGRESS

Eight Senate Republicans, head cheerleader Mike Lee of Utah, and Mean Girls J.D. Vance of Ohio, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Eric Schmitt of Missouri, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Rick Scot and Marco Rubio of Florida, and Roger Marshall or Kansas, are vowing to oppose major legislation and Biden nominees led by the Democratic Senate, following the guilty verdicts for Hair Furor.

These eight traitors to their jobs and to the Constitution of the United States say they will oppose any increases to non-security related funding, Biden judicial and political nominations and “expedited consideration and passage” of Democratic legislation.

Of note, it was just last year when heavy rains left thousands stranded in the mud at Burning Man that Head Cheerleader of Hair Furor Mike Lee declared it to be God’s punishment for the attendees’ supposed promiscuity. But he has no problem with a serial adulterer, sexual predator who fucks porn stars and then lies and cheats to cover it up.

THAT’S the GOP.

FLORIDA

The Florida Board of Education approved several tweaks to the state’s standards for teaching social studies but left intact controversial pieces on Black history that sparked widespread backlash last year.

Florida’s new teaching standards include the same requirement that middle school students learn “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”

In addition lessons surrounding the 1920 Ocoee massacre and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre will be labeled as violence perpetrated “against and by” African Americans.

Racism in the Sunshine State will be taught in schools.

TEXAS

University of Texas at Austin professor Daniel Bonevac, and others in the state university system, claim that “pregnancy is not a disease, and [therefore] elective abortions are not ‘health care.'”

He also claims that pregnancy is the result of “voluntary and consensual sexual intercourse”—never rape or incest—and students should not be allowed time off to get abortions. And if the students disobey and miss class for abortion care the professors should be allowed to flunk students.

Look at it like this: a college professor forces a female student into a sexual relationship if she wants to pass his class but if she gets pregnant and has an abortion, the professor can flunk her.

Texas needs to abort these asshatted professors.

Also in Texas ... according to the newly-adopted Texas Republican Party platform homosexuality is an abnormal lifestyle choice and so there should be no granting of special legal entitlements or creation of special status for homosexual behavior, regardless of state of origin. The GOP also says they oppose any criminal or civil penalties against those who oppose homosexuality out of faith, conviction, or belief in traditional values.

Texas hates fags.

LOUISIANA

First-of-its-kind legislation that classifies two abortion-inducing drugs as controlled and dangerous substances was signed into law by Louisiana GOP Governor Jeff Landry. Landry, clearly a moron, boasts that the drugs can still be obtained, even though medication abortion is illegal in his state.

The measure makes Louisiana the only state to categorize mifepristone and misoprostol in this way, adding them to Schedule IV of the state’s Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law.

The policy drew support from anti-abortion advocates and alarm from medical professionals and abortion-rights activists in a state where both medication and surgical abortion are illegal.

Louisiana hates women and doesn’t believe that have the right to control their own bodies.

COLORADO

The Colorado Republican Party is issuing a call to its members to pull their children from public school, saying Democrats are using schools to “turn more kids trans.”

Yes, Democrats have that much power.

Under the leadership of Colorado GOP Chairperson Dave Williams the state Republican Party has tacked to the hard right despite holding less electoral power than at any time since before World War II.

And since they have so little power, howsabout voting them all from office so they will have zero power?

SOUTH DAKOTA

A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes.

It came only months after Republican Governor , Liar and Dog Killer  Kristi Noem sent a letter to the regents that railed against “liberal ideologies” on college campuses and called for the board to ban drag shows on campus and “remove all references to preferred pronouns in school materials,” among other things.

All nine voting members of the board were appointed by Noem so it’s no surprise they goose-step behind her. As of now Kristi Noem has been banned from all tribal lands in her state.

Let’s follow that lead and ban her from office as soon as possible.

And that’s just a small taste of GOP lunacy ... anti-women’s rights, voter fraud, anti-transgender hate, traitors, anti-abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ+ and more.

So what do we do if we want more Good News? We ...

Architecture Wednesday: Birch Street Mid-Century

This midcentury-modern masterpiece, built in 1964 with over 4,400 square feet, is nestled amongst beautiful mature trees in Denver.

The architectural and structural example of classic post-and-beam styling , spacious rooms with vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows are filled with original custom wood paneling and cabinetry, and walls of windows across the entire back of the home which features covered patios on two sides. Plus, there’s a finished basement, perfect for an in-law suite or rental unit.

It’s got a bit of everything, but before I take ownership let’s update all of the lighting, and some of that outdated tiling. Let’s ditch all the mirrors in the primary bath and closet and perhaps rethink that curvy floor in the shower area? And while I know they call it a breakfast nook, there’s actually two dining areas. The kitchen needs updating, a refresh on the cabinets and new hardware, and all the bathrooms are dated.

But this is what they mean by “good bones;” this house is, yes, large, but also spacious, it just needs some careful tweaking to make it look new and fresh and still midcentury …

As always, click to emBIGGERate …
