Ain't That America XXIV

Oh another week where the President-For-Now calls a woman a “piggy,” threatens to murder Democrats and tells a female reporter he doesn’t like her attitude because she asked a hard question. But there is good news in courts, in a MAGAt quitting Congress, and with idiocy in the hands of DUI Pete, so let’s dish a little …

Cankles has called for putting Democrats to death for telling the military they do not have to obey unlawful orders.

Once again, every GOP accusation is an admission, as noted by the fact that Republicans either “didn’t see the story,” think Cankles was “joking” about murder, or “agree with him.”

Vote them all out of office.

Eliyahu “Eli” Weinstein, a New Jersey man whose lengthy prison sentence for fraud convictions was commuted by Cankles in 2021, is back to federal prison for another fraud conviction. US District Judge Michael Shipp handed down a 37-year sentence to Weinstein and ordered him to pay $44,294,803 in restitution, which is due immediately.

Commits fraud, and a grifter lets him out of jail and he immediately commits fraud again.

Wow, no one saw that coming.

Unless they saw this … Andrew Paul Johnson, a pardoned January 6 rioter, has been charged with sex crimes against two children, including molesting a child as young as 11 years old.

He tried to overturn an election and Cankles pardoned him so he could stay free and rape children. I wonder if Cankles, a sexual predator and rapist himself, will pardon him again.

Cankles said he will not rule out the possibility of sending US troops into Venezuela, as a buildup of US forces in the region raises the prospect of military action there.

Why would a man who campaigns for a Nobel Peace Prize want to start a war … Epstein, that’s why.

Cankles plan to offer a “tariff dividend,” a one-time refundable credit of $2,000 per person for tax units with 2025 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) strictly below $100,000, will cost We The People about $450 billion.

No wonder he bankrupts everything he touches.

The Cankles Regime took down a congressionally mandated report on missing and murdered Native Americans from the Department of Justice’s website to comply with an executive order against diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Not One More Report was the product of The Not Invisible Act of 2020, meant to provide tribes with solutions to combat the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous people and educate the general public about the crisis.

Well, I mean, they’re not White and so why should the government care? For more information go to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives [MMIWR]

Cankles told female a reporter “quiet, piggy” during an exchange on Air Force One about the Epstein files. He also waved his own fat piggy finger in CBS News’ Jennifer Jacobs’ face.

Women scare him because women come him, women will take him down while the male reporters who stood by and said nothing are part of that Cankles Boy’s Club.

Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a German refugee camp a year after World War II ended. His family legally emigrated to America in 1952 when he was five but now, more than seventy-four years later, he has found himself in legal limbo in yet another concentration camp, the so-called Alligator Alcatraz detention camp.

He was picked up on a decades-old deportation order that immigration authorities had previously chosen not to enforce but now, as part of the Cankles Regime’s widespread effort to deport millions of immigrants who it claims lack legal standing to be in America, and after living here for decades at 79-years old, Bojerski is locked up again.

That ain’t America.

A recent tweet, where Secretary of Defense, DUI Hire, Pete Hegseth bragged about the names of recent US military operations, has prompted widespread mockery online. Pete posted:

“OPERATION ROUGH RIDER = Freedom of Navigation for U.S. ships.

OPERATION MIDNIGHT HAMMER = Obliteration of Iranian nuclear sites.

“OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR = Destroy Narco-Terrorists killing Americans.”

“Rough Rider,” “Midnight Hammer,” and “Southern Spear” all sound like either gay strippers or adult entertainment titles or both and people came for Pete with their own suggestions:

“OPERATION BRUTAL PENETRATION.”

“OPERATION MORNING WOOD.”

“OPERATION HUSKY FARMBOY

OPERATION THROBBING MEMBER

OPERATION STRAPPING MANSERVANT”

Oh, Pete, you should lay off the sauce or just come out already.

Marjorie Taylor Greene will resign her seat in Congress on January 5, 2026, in reaction to Cankles and the Epstein files and, more likely, to kickstart her campaign to run for governor of Georgia.

Ding dong, the witch is gone

Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chris Deluzio, and Chrissy Houlahan ... clockwise from top left ...  the six Democratic lawmakers that Cankles wants killed hit back with a powerful statement that shows America that they won't be intimidated into silence:

"We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation. What’s most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law. Our servicemembers should know that we have their backs as they fulfill their oath to the Constitution and obligation to follow only lawful orders. It is not only the right thing to do, but also our duty. But this isn’t about any one of us. This isn’t about politics,. This is about who we are as Americans. Every American must unite and condemn the President’s calls for our murder and political violence. This is a time for moral clarity. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage. We will continue to lead and will not be intimidated. Don’t Give Up the Ship!"

Resist.

Demand an apology … yes, I know that won’t happen.

Vote Blue and have Congress impeach this Big Piggy the first chance they get.

A federal judge ordered some public-school districts in Texas to remove Ten Commandment displays from their classroom walls by next month.

Here’s the deal: you want your kids to learn about the Ten Commandments, go to church. You want to teach them to read and write and add and subtract, send them to school.

We have a Separation of Church and State for a reason.

William Pryor Jr., the chief judge in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, gave a chilly reception to Cankles’ bid to revive a racketeering lawsuit accusing his perceived political foes—including Hillary Clinton and James Comey—of conspiring against him with false allegations that he collaborated with Russia

Pryor made it clear that he believes Cankles’ lawsuit violated federal court rules by vaguely linking too many defendants and too many legal claims.

It’s almost like his lawyers don’t know the law.

And then a  federal appeals court rejected Cankles’ effort to revive a defamation lawsuit against CNN, concluding that he has not “adequately alleged” the falsity of the network’s references to his stolen 2020 election claims as “the Big Lie.”

How many times does this Piggy get smacked down before he just stops his bull shiz?

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting agreed to fulfill a $36 million multi-year contract with NPR that it had yanked after pressure from the Cankles Regime. The arrangement resolves litigation filed by NPR accusing the corporation of illegally yielding to fascist demands that the network be financially punished for its news coverage. Katherine Maher, President and CEO of NPR, said in a statement:

“The settlement is a victory for editorial independence and a step toward upholding the First Amendment rights of NPR and the public media system in our legal challenge to [Cankles’] Executive Order.”

It’s also a victory for Resistance.

Department of Defense “contractors” landed on a Mexican beach and accidentally declared it United States territory in a bizarre incident this week.

The group of unidentified men hammered six signs into a beach near Playa Bagdad in Northeast Mexico declaring that the area was “Department of Defense property” and had been classified as a “restricted area” by “the commander.”

The area is roughly twelve miles south of the U.S.-Mexico border and when heavily armed Mexican Navy personnel came to investigate the scene the “contractors” realized they were not in Texas where they would supposed to have landed.

This is our military under Cankles and DUI Pete.

Sean Duffy, the reality show “star” and former Fox News “himbo” has a solution for all the difficulty at airports: Be nice and wear nice clothes.

“We want to push people, as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up, bring civility back to travel.”

Seriously? All those near misses, and crashes at airports, the clusterfuck of the shutdown and its effects on air travel and Little Sean’s plan is to make people put on their good clothes?

The US Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 US troops who fought the Nazis in World War II, as a hate symbol.

That’s right, y’all, get that swastika out of mothballs and wear it and wave it proudly as the Coast Guard now calls it only “potentially” divisive.

Oops … it appears that mere hours after deciding a swastika was no big deal the Coast Guard had changed its mind again and will not allow it to wave.

Here’s Minister of Propaganda, and Paid White House Liar, KKKarolying Leavitt’s response to Cankles calling a female reporter a “piggy”:

“He calls out fake news when he sees it. He gets frustrated with reporters when you lie about him, when you spread fake news about him and his administration, but he also is the most transparent president in history. And he gives all of you in this room, as you all know, unprecedented access. You are in the Oval Office almost every day asking the president questions. I think the president being frank, and open, and honest to your faces rather than hiding behind your backs is frankly a lot more respectful than what you saw in the last administration — where you had a president who lied to your face and then didn’t speak to you for weeks and hid upstairs and didn’t take your question. So I think everyone in this room should appreciate the frankness and the openness that you get from [Cankles] on a near-daily basis.”

I wish the entire room had erupted in their own:

“QUIET PIGGY!”

I don’t know if this is true, but it’s apparently a story told by friends of the Obamas and seemed totally like Barack and Michelle, so I’m going to share it here:

On January 10, 2017, with just ten days left in his presidency, Barack Obama walked into the White House residence late at night to find Michelle packing boxes in their bedroom, and … said, “I feel like I'm abandoning them—all those people who believed in hope and change, and now I'm handing them over to someone who built his campaign on fear and division.”

Michelle stopped packing, sat beside him, and revealed something she'd kept secret for eight years: during his darkest presidential moments, she'd been keeping a journal of letters from ordinary Americans whose lives he'd touched, and she pulled out a worn leather notebook containing 2,847 handwritten entries she'd copied from White House correspondence.

What makes this moment absolutely stunning is that Michelle read him letters until 3:52 AM … [of a] single mother in Detroit whose daughter got health insurance through the Affordable Care Act … a gay couple in Iowa who married legally because of his courage … a young Black girl in Atlanta who told her teacher she could be anything because President Obama proved it was possible … and with each letter, Barack wept harder until Michelle grabbed his face and said:

“You didn't abandon anyone, baby, you showed them what's possible, and that light doesn't go out just because you leave this house.”

The detail that gives chills is that on January 20, 2017, minutes before the incoming President’s inauguration, Barack Obama placed that leather journal in the Resolute Desk drawer with a note for future presidents that read:

“Remember: this office isn't about you; it's about them—never forget the people who trusted you with their dreams.”

Michelle Obama told CBS in 2018 that Barack still carries three of those letters in his wallet, reading them whenever he doubts whether his presidency mattered, and the most worn one is from a nine-year-old boy who wrote:

“Dear President Obama, my dad says you gave him hope when he had none left, so thank you for saving my daddy.”

Proving that presidential legacy isn't measured in legislation or Supreme Court justices, it's measured in the quiet moments when ordinary people found courage because one leader refused to let them give up on America's promise.

Let’s try to get that back. Let’s try to stop a president who threatens to murder Democrats … who pardons child rapists …who drops bombs on boats in the Caribbean apparently for sport … who cares not about missing and murdered indigenous peoples …who may be a child rapist and sexual predator himself … who cares only about the richest of Americans while letting children in this country starve …

The other morning I was walking past our bedroom when I heard Carlos talking to Rosita:

“She’s such a pretty girl. Pretty girl. Ohhhhhh, she’s so pretty. Pretty girl. Such a pretty girl. Who’s the pretty girl.”

“Why don’t you two get a room.”

“This is our room.”

I guess I’m sleeping in the guest room now?

This Tuxedo memory is from November 2019 and is entitled “Tuxedo Went To The Vet”

I noticed Tuxedo had licked the fur off the back of his front leg and so, after Carlos did a quick check, we took him to the vet to see what was what. Turns out it may have been a bug bite that he scratched and then cut into his skin, so he began licking to clean it and the fur came off; or, it is the result of a play fight with either Max or Consuelo. Either way, it’s nothing bad and he’s on antibiotics—which he hates—and a twice daily cleanse of the area.

But this isn’t about that, it’s about the joy of Tuxedo. See, he was a bit of an abused cat when we rescued him; he’d been adopted out several times and always returned to the vet’s office in Miami as “mean.” Then we took him and let him acclimate to our house and the five other cats we had at the time, and Tuxedo has become the sweetest, friendliest cat ever.

And that leads us to the vet’s office in Smallville.

While he cried in the car on the ride, once there he was calm and watching the goings on from inside his carrier. When we got in with the vet tech, as she was weighing him and checking him out, he was perfectly calm and easy going. Then came to thermometer up the butt; and he was calm and handled it like any bottom at any gay bar anywhere … or something. But … as she finished with him, Tuxedo stood on his hind legs and put his paws on my chest and rested his head against me. The vet tech squeeed with delight about the hug he was giving me.

When the doctor came in, the vet tech was holding Tuxedo for the exam, and he stood on his hind legs and gave the vet tech a hug, too. The doctor loved that and asked if Tuxedo would give her a hug and, yes, he did. And then they took his picture while hugging the doctor.

Long story a little shorter … as we left with his medications we stopped to pay at the desk and were asked our pet’s name.

“Tuxedo.”

“The one who hugged the doctor?”

“Um, yeah. Do you want one?”

“Can I?”

And she could.

At the Emmy’s this week first-time nominee, for Reservation Dogs, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai made a powerful statement by arriving with a red handprint over his mouth, symbolizing solidarity with missing and murdered Indigenous women. It stands for all the missing sisters whose voices are not heard. It stands for the silence of the media and law enforcement in the midst of this crisis.

If you didn’t know about the epidemic of missing and murdered Indigenous women, and how little help is giving by local authorities and government agencies to tribal police, take a look at Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA MMIWUSA

A friend posted to Facebook that according to PureWow she, as a Virgo, is one of two excellent cult leaders, with Aquarius, which is me, being the second. I commented that I needed my own cult, and she posted what my cult would be like according to PureWow:

"Fixed air sign Aquarius leads a stylish cult. Ruled by Saturn, planet of discipline and structure, Aquarius is a sign that others naturally look up to as an authority figure. All of the air signs are social and very into spreading knowledge and ideas. But unlike their fellow air signs [Gemini and Libra], Aquarius loves the info, but also has a lot of style in their approach to travel, education and cult-ivation. This is because Aquarius’s ninth house is Libra, another Venus-ruled sign. Aquarius is very strategic when it comes to starting their cult. The PR is always on point. Who can resist a great logo in a cute font? Or a targeted merch drop? Joining the cult of Aquarius is like joining a scene that never goes out of style."

Oh, I need to jumpstart my cult.

Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder recently changed the lyrics to their song “Daughter” to make a politically charged statement.

At a Wrigley Field show last month, in the middle of their song “Daughter,” the band played a portion of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2” but fans noticed a slight variation as Vedder took the opportunity to change the lyrics to something a little timelier. Where the song would normally say, “Teachers leave them kids alone…” Vedder sang:

“Politicians leave our daughters alone.

A woman’s right to choose is her own.”

Just another way to get the message out that one party is pro-women and the other is own women.

There is nothing like having some cakes as a midnight snack; and you all know exactly what I mean.

Speaking of musicians doing good work, Jon Bon Jovi, known for helping the unhoused, the hungry and America’s vets, talked someone out of taking her own life in a video shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

The video shows Bon Jovi slowly approaching a woman on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Bon Jovi happened to be filming a music video for his song “People’s House” when he and his team noticed the woman standing on the outer ledge of the bridge and clenching onto the handrails. He stopped a few feet away from her and spoke to her before moving closer alongside another bystander.

It’s unclear what was said, but Jon and the other individual convinced the woman to return to the main part of the bridge; they helped her back over the railing and then the trio walked away.

Bon Jovi has extensive training in interacting with people in crisis due to his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation. He has chosen not to make a statement regarding his actions out of respect for the woman  but the Nashville Police Department has praised him for his actions.

Y’all know Diddy got nabbed, right? Well, according to the grand jury indictment, during that raid on his homes in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles the feds discovered “more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant” for his ALLEGED Freak Off parties.

Bottom of Form

Diddy was charged with three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. In addition Combs is currently facing at least eight lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, rape, sexual misconduct and more. He remains in jail.

No word on what happened to all that lube but, in a world of Diddy’s be a Bon Jovi or a Vedder.

Atila Escolano Sánchez is a Spanish model and singer which is all very nice, but Would You Hit It?
