Ain't That America XVII

Well, the retribution has begun as Cankles is siccing his DOJ Lapdog Pammy Jo Bondi on his so-called enemies … he’s asking to release the Amelia Earhart files because of Jeffrey Epstein … he’s doxing Democrats … Border Barbie is helping her friends and donors while others suffer … and more. On the upside, Melanie has released a line of Christmas Ornaments … I haven’t seen them but I imagine they were created in the Devil’s Sweatshop with child labor … so let’s go ….

Cankles wants to release the files about Amelia Earhart and there are two possible reasons. One, a donor of his paid him to do it, or … Two, he needs another distraction from the Epstein Files.

Personally, I think that unless Amelia Earhart crashed on Epstein Island, no one cares.

Democrat Representative Mikie Sherrill and other leading Democrats want an investigation into a politically motivated leak by Cankles and the GOP of Sherrill’s unredacted military service records, which included her Social Security number and other personal details, to her GOP opponent in the New Jersey gubernatorial election.

This is the game they’re playing, putting out personal information of their opponents which could endanger their lives and their families.

Mob Boss Cankles is behind this.

For months, the complaints have rolled in from parts of the country hit by natural disasters that FEMA was moving too slowly in sending aid to communities ravaged by floods and hurricanes. Many officials blamed Koncentration Kamp Kristi Noem, whose agency oversees FEMA, after records obtained by ProPublica show how one locality found a way to get FEMA aid more quickly: ask one of Border Barbie’s political donors for help.

Those records show that Noem expedited more than $11 million of federal money to rebuild a historic pier in Naples, Florida that was damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022, after a major donor contacted her. Noem flew to Naples on a government plane to tour the pier herself, and then had dinner with the donor, local cardiologist Sinan Gursoy.

Noem’s top adviser, and ALLEGED lover Corey Lewandowski, also owns a home in Naples near the pier; Lewandowski is an unpaid staffer—I’m thinking Staffer With Benefits—at DHS serving as Noem’s de facto chief of staff.

Grifters and liars and cheaters.

Texas GOP Gover Hot Wheels AKA Greg Abbott has signed a bill to restrict which restrooms transgender people can use in government buildings and schools and fines institutions up to $125,000 for violations.

Texas which has seen power grid outages, hurricanes, floods, school shootings, church shooting and all kinds of violence is more concerned about who pees where and not about taking care of the citizens of the state.

When Cankles took office eight months ago, the DOJ 36 experienced attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians and police officers; today it has two. The other thirty-four have either quit under pressure, resigned in protest or been detailed to other matters across the nation.

It’s almost like the Cankles Regime doesn’t want lawyers to look into corruption. I wonder why.

Bill Berrien, a Republican running for governor  of Wisconsin, is a so-called conservative who stands up for family values, and is especially critical of transgender individuals, saying they are engaged in “radical social experimentation.”

But, big surprise,  Berrien’s online footprint tells a different story: on Medium.com Berrien has an account that follows transgender porn star Jiz Lee and the authors of sexually explicit essays, like Octavio Morrison, author of “7 Types of Orgasmic Sensations” and Emma Austin, who has posted items such as “Pegging is A-OK,” and “I Love Getting Jackhammered.” In the past, he “liked” an article on “Polyamory Today” entitled, “My Husband Loves Watching Me Flirt With Another Man.”

Every GOP accusation is an admission, especially given that Berrien has been voraciously trying to scrub his dirty little online secrets.

UPDATE Bill Berrien has ended his Republican campaign for governor.

Exactly two months after Cankles signed his so-called Big Beautiful Bill a Virginia health care company blamed the law for the closure of three rural clinics serving communities along the Blue Ridge Mountains. The closures, Augusta Medical Group said in its statement, were part of the company’s “ongoing response to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the resulting realities for healthcare delivery.”

Keep this in mind as we move ahead and vote; the GOP passed this bill and now people in rural Virginia have far less access to healthcare.

At the UN last week, war criminal and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told fellow world leaders that Israel “must finish the job” against Hamas in Gaza, giving a defiant speech despite growing international isolation over his refusal to end the devastating war in Gaza.

As he spoke dozens of delegates from multiple nations walked out of the General Assembly hall en masse.

The US delegation, which has backed Netanyahu, stayed put but neither the US nor the UK sent their most senior officials or even their UN ambassador to their section.

Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Leon Skum’s cost-cutting blitz are now being asked to return to work and the General Services Administration has given the employees until the end of the week to accept or decline reinstatement.

No one saw this coming … except for everyone but Cankles and his Minions.

Democrat Adelita Grijalva won a special election for the Arizona congressional seat held by her late father. Grijalva, a former Pima County supervisor and Tucson school board member, captured Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, which includes Tucson, and will serve out the remaining 15 months of her father, Representative Raúl Grijalva’s term after he passed away in March.

On the down side, Little Mike Johnson is putting off swearing her in as she would be another vote to release the Epstein  Files and Little Mike is Cankles' Little Bitch.

The Wall Street Journal, its parent company and Rupert Murdoch asked a federal judge to dismiss Cankles’ $10 billion defamation lawsuit over the publication’s report on his relationship with BFF Jeffrey Epstein.

Cankles claimed that the article could damage the reputation, hold for laughter, of a man who cheated on his first wife with the woman who became his second wife , and the cheated on his second wife with the Slovenian Hooker who became his third wife, and then cheated on his third wife with a porn star, all the while bragging about grabbing women by the pussy and being a sexual predator with Jeffrey Epstein.

Seriously? That reputation?

Participants gathered on the Melbourne Causeway in Florida to shine a Rainbow light on LGBTQ rights with the Light Up Melbourne with Pride event. Participants marched to the top of the causeway and lit it up in support of LGBTQ+ Americans.

This comes on the heels, the Gogo boot heels, of Governor Ronnie DeSantis who has banned the painting on sidewalks and crosswalks in the Rainbow colors.

Sorry, Ronnie, you cannot erase us.

And speaking of Melbourne, Florida … a push to rename a street in Melbourne after conservative activist Charlie Kirk has failed.

The Melbourne City Council voted down the proposal during a tense meeting when council chambers were packed with people who wanted to voice their opinions on Charlie Kirk and whether or not a road in the city should be named after him.

Good.

US District Judge Rita Lin of the Northern District of California has ordered the Cankles Regime to restore $500 million in UCLA medical research grants, halting for now a nearly two-month funding crisis that UC leaders said threatened the future of the nation’s premier public university system.

The opinion added hundreds of UCLA’s NIH grants to an ongoing class-action lawsuit that already led to the reversal of tens of millions of dollars in grants from the National Science Foundation, Environmental Protection Agency, National Endowment for the Humanities and other federal agencies to the University of California.

Lin ruled that the NIH grants were suspended by form letters that were unspecific to the research, a likely violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which regulates executive branch rulemaking.

This week Cankles’ lapdog FCC Chair Brendan Carr was seen wearing a gold Cankles-Head lapel pin.

Members of the Fascist Cabinet as well as Congressional GOP goose-steppers are also wearing the pin lest they  suffer the wrath of their Dear Cult Leader.

We talked earlier about the “unendable” wars that Cankle says he ended since flopping his gelatinous buttocks in the Oval Office and so, here they are:

Egypt and Ethiopia have argued over an Ethiopian dam project on the Blue Nile, but they were not in a raging war in which thousands of people were being killed.

He also did not stop the conflict between Serbia and Kosovo from resuming because they were also not at war.

The conflict involving the Democratic Republic of Congo and neighboring Rwanda has not actually been resolved.

And India denies that Cankles was responsible for mediating its ceasefire, its truce, with neighboring Pakistan.

So, yeah, he lied … and no one is surprised … but wait, there’s more:

Cankles says grocery prices are down during his presidency but the fact is prices are up and going higher because of his tariffs.

Cankles says inflation has been defeated but the fact is that it’s also accelerating., up 2.9% last month, from 2.7% previously.

Cankles said European electricity bills are high,--which is true—but that ours are coming way down when the fact is electricity bills are up over 6.2% from when Biden was in office.

Cankles claimed that he has secured $17 trillion in investment in the US and yet his own White House Press Secretary, KaroLying Leavitt says it was $9 trillion in investment; did someone lose $8 trillion?

Cankles says China builds a lot of wind turbines and manufactures them for others, but barely uses wind power but, again, the fact is that China is the world leader in the use of wind power.

The man is delusional AF.

After Dr. RFK BrainWorm announced that Tylenol causes autism he pushed a “cure” for it, something called Leucovorin [folic acid]. Of note, is that Dr. Snake Oil Salesman Oz’s supplement company, iHerb, sells  folic acid so it looks like BrainWorm is trying to make coins for Snake Oil.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent pledged to provide “all options for stabilization” to Argentine President Javier Milei as the South American country faces a market selloff in recent weeks. Options include, but aren’t limited to, currency swap lines, direct currency repurchases and US dollar-denominated debt from the Treasury’s exchange stabilization fund.

Funny, he wants to save Argentina’s economy while he destroys the American economy.

Slovenian Hooker and Floor Lamp Model Melanie has unveiled a line of Christmas ornaments―but fans … fans?? Seriously—will have to cough up $90 a piece or almost $500 for a set of six. But I do have a question: will there be ornaments with one of Melanie’s most famous phrases:

“Who gives a fuck about Christmas?”

Remember, Melanie was caught on tape uttering that line! And so I say:

“Who gives a fuck about giving coins to the Slovenian Hooker wife of a Fascist Pig?”

Not me.

Spend your money on better things, like donations to Blue candidates and then …

GOP Dumpster Fire: Liars, Racists, DEI Hires and Frauds

There’s an old saying about when someone shows you who they are, believe them; and when someone says something, openly and publicly, believe that, too, and not the spin machine that envelopes the liar afterwards.

Here are a few examples of liars, and morons, and weirdos showing us who they are …

Former U.S. Representative and Liar, Kitara Ravache AKA George Santos, is requesting a partially anonymous jury while federal prosecutors are pushing to admit as evidence some of his past campaign lies in his upcoming fraud trial.

Santos’ lawyers argued that individual jurors’ identities should only be known by the judge, the two sides and their attorneys due to the extraordinary level of media attention around the case and their client because the “risk of public ridicule could influence the individual jurors ability to decide Santos’ case solely on the facts and law as presented in Court.”

At trial  prosecutors want to tell the jury about Kitara's lies: including falsely claiming to have graduated from Baruch College; falsely claiming to have graduated from New York University; falsely claiming to have been employed at Citigroup; falsely claiming to have been employed at Goldman Sachs. They said it would “establish the defendant’s state of mind in connection with the charged crimes.”

Sounds fair to me.

Back to banning books in Iowa after the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district judge’s earlier decision that temporarily halted key parts of a law, which the GOP-led Legislature and GOP Governor Kim Reynolds approved in 2023.

The law also forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with younger students.

Books and LGBTQ+ students are bad but hate and ignorance rule in Iowa.

Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee to run K-12 public education in North Carolina, filmed a video after attending the January 6 riots urging The Felon put “the Constitution to the side” and use the military to stay in power.

In a deleted Facebook livestream Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election. Morrow had previously called for the public execution of Barack Obama and the death of Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in comments on a since-deleted X account.

And she has a shot at running schools in North Carolina?

Red States that ban or restrict abortion have flooded anti-abortion counseling centers with nearly $500 million in taxpayer funding since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

When Florida passed its six-week abortion ban last year, it allocated $25 million to crisis pregnancy centers and Tennessee dedicated $20 million to the effort last year, up from just $283,000 in the year prior. But no state has spent more in taxpayer funding than Texas, which accounts for almost half of the total spending. The state agency that oversees the program acknowledged it doesn’t monitor how tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent.

For those unaware, “crisis pregnancy centers” lure women in with deceptive marketing hinting that they provide abortions.

JD “Guyliner” Vance marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, uninvited and planned to give reporters a show as he confronted the vice president but his power play, his little boy ego trip, failed once he learned Harris was not present.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane.”

He still thinks he has a shot? He’s been fvcking too many couches.

The Felon’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung rushed to defend JD for the unsuccessful storming of Air Force 2 by saying:

“Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what [Kamala Harris] and her team have done on there. The smell alone on that plane must be crazy.”

Cheung’s post appears to lean into racial stereotypes but since he works for a racist, he might be a racist.

Karoline Leavitt, on Fox News Entertainment:

“Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her running mate … and her decision not to choose Josh Shapiro. Let’s be honest, she did not choose him because he is a Jewish American and has expressed strong support for Israel in the past … and Kamala Harris continues to cow-toe to the far-left pro-Hamas sympathizers in this great country.”

Clearly, she’s never heard “kowtow” out loud.

That’s Fox, illiterate blond DEI hires.

JD Vance has attacked the military record of Tim Walz during accusing him of “stolen valor” claiming Walz “abandoned” his unit in the National Guard before it was deployed to Iraq.

Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years reaching the rank of commander sergeant major and was deployed to Italy. He decided to leave the National Guard in 2005 to pursue a political career by running for Congress.

 Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the Marines, where he worked for the press office.

He was a secretary, and he wants to be second in command to a man who avoided service five times because his feet hurt..

More lies about Tim Walz being spread by the right:

LIE: One claim is that Walz told CNN that he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help people scale the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and illegally enter the U.S.

TRUTH: Posts are misrepresenting a comment Walz made on CNN using a clip from the segment to make it seem as if Walz was advocating for illegal immigration when he was actually discussing how to prevent this from happening.

LIE: Walz changed the Minnesota flag so that it resembles the Somali flag.

TRUTH: Minnesota did unfurl a new state flag and accompanying seal in May and picked one designed by Andrew Prekker as the basis for the flag. Prekker said Walz had nothing to do with the creation of the flag, and Somalia had nothing to do with the flag design.

If you can’t win on truth the cultists resort to the lie.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has ordered hospitals in the state to ask patients about their immigration status in order to ascertain the costs of providing medical care to people living in the U.S. illegally.

It’s fearmongering that Abbott and the GOP are involved in; they off no solutions to the border issue, just razor wire and hate.

Montana Republican Tim Sheehy, running for US Senate, says he started an aerial firefighting business in his barn and built it into a publicly traded company on the front lines of increasingly dangerous wildfires. But reports filed with the SEC tell a different story about Bridger Aerospace.

Bridger is facing a cash crunch so dire that there is “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue” after it $77.4 million last year and $20.1 million in the first three months of 2024.

If that’s what the GOP calls a successful business …

The Felon has announced that he will debate Kamala Harris three times with the first Debate “on Fox News on September 4th, 2024 [and] the second Debate … Fake News ABC, home of George Slopadopoulos … on September 10th, 2024 [and] the third Debate will take place on NBC … on September 25th, 2024.

As of today there’s no evidence that Fox News, NBC, or the Harris campaign have confirmed The Felon’s claim.

I’m sure y’all have heard of the latest attack on Tim Walz by the right, dubbing him “Tampon Tim” in reference to a new state law providing free menstrual products to school students. 

The nickname was trending nationally on X, with Chaya Raichik whose scurrilous “Libs of TikTok” account was one of the first to amplify it and it was picked up by former Fox News Entertainment host Megyn She’ll  Say Anything If It Gets Her Clicks Kelly endorsed the nickname on X.

Trouble is, shocking, that information is a lie; these free menstrual products are only available for free in unisex bathrooms, girls’ bathrooms, the school nurse or the front office.

When called out for her lies Raichik responded with “there’s no law against lying” but Megyn Kelly, another blond DEI hire, won’t admit she’s a liar.

Asked if Kamala Harris is Black, JD Vance said:

“I believe Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is, but I believe, importantly, that [The Felon] is right that she's a chameleon.”

Doublespeak from the man who says many things and then changes his mind.

And since he can't make up his mind, and since his President is a delusional old man, perhaps it's best that we all ...
