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 Funny Papers

Benjamin Slyngstad, Bill Bramhall, Jack Ohman, Gary Huck, Matt Wuerker, Ted Littleford, Michael de Adder, Rick McKee, Tim Campbell, Max Espinoza, Steve Cousineau, John Buss, Trevor Irvin, Randy Bish,

Why Is It ...

… that people don’t realize that my emotional baggage is basically the tough life experiences that have made me into the hilariously twisted empathetic sexy fuck that I am today.

… that my morning routine, every morning, is just convincing myself not to go back to bed.

… that people forget that I have quite the ability to multitask … I can listen, ignore and forget all at the same time.

… that if you see me talking to myself, pay me no mind. I’m having a staff meeting.

… that when people tell me to take it down a notch it guarantees a five notch increase; do not ever try to de-notch me.

… that while I am not exactly sure what my spirit animal is, I’m confident it has rabies.

… that I wish I could Google search my own mind … ask it “what are my favorite movies” or “what’s the name of that place with the really good egg rolls.”

… that people need to know that, at this age, if I tell you I do not care, please believe me.

… that I feel the need to toot my own horn after making it through another day of not turning feelings into felonies.

… that people who aren’t from South Carolina don’t realize the average summertime temperature is a hundred-and-fuck-you.

I Didn't Say It ...

Gilles Rocca, Italian actor and reality show star, on developing his feminine side based on the strong women that reared him:

“The alpha male? I almost feel more like a woman than a man. I have a predominantly feminine side. Yes, my aesthetic is very masculine, but inside it’s different. Perhaps having had a very strong upbringing from my mother, I learned a lot. My mother’s upbringing made me understand how important it is to bring out my feminine side. I was very male up to a certain point in my life, where I didn’t show my weaknesses, where I wanted to show that I was the muscular one, the strong one, but in reality I was hiding so many weaknesses that over the years I’ve managed to bring out, not fight them, but embrace them. If I were to be attracted to a man, there wouldn’t be any problems,” Rocca shared. “Would I give myself to a man? Well, if I liked a man, yes, absolutely, I’d accept his advances; I wouldn’t have any problems. I like women. But I’m absolutely open; in fact, I don’t even think it’s a question of openness, but rather that it’s a natural thing; that is, respecting your instincts, what you like, what you feel. I saw even more closely a world of passion, talent, suffering, and love … In such a horrible world we live in, we still need to assert our rights, and if we take these rights away from someone else, we don’t complain when they take them away from us. Love has no gender or race… love is just love.”

Those last four words just say it all: love is just love.

And wherever you find it, in whomever you find it, it’s not wrong.

Tim Walz, former candidate for Vice President, responding to KKKarolying Leavitt saying Democrats are “Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals”:

“Most Republicans are good people. Most Democrats are good people. The White House says outrageous things to make you hate your neighbor. Your neighbor isn’t the problem. The White house is.”

Cankles, Pee Wee German, KKKarolying Leavitt, Pammy Jo Bondi and Kristi the Dog Killer, and all the other sycophants and enablers, liars and cheats,  are the problem.

Jack Schlossberg, Democrat candidate for New York's 12th congressional district in the 2026, on Cankles fixation with the Kennedy name:

“{He] is so  obsessed with the Kennedys and the Kennedy name that he caged one and put it in his cabinet—a rabid dog in his cabinet. Put a collar on my cousin RFK Jr. and has him there barking, spreading lies and misinformation.”

Rabid dog is right, frothing at the mouth as he spews his ignorance but Cankles looks the other way because he hears Kennedy.

Tom Nichols, professor emeritus of national security affairs at the US Naval War College, speaking truth about Cankles:

“One of the things that genuinely mystifies me: [He] is one of the least masculine, least adult people in public life. Needy, whiny, defensive, pleading, scared of women, terrified of more powerful men. I am at a loss as to why his bases sees him as manly or strong.”

And yet he’s really just a Piggy.

Beto O’Rourke, outspoken Democrat who may be running for Senate in Texas, on the idea of being ‘nice’:

“While you’re twiddling your thumbs and playing nice and trying to be bipartisan they are killing your fucking country and taking away our Democracy. We are either going to fight or we are going to surrender, and I plan on fighting.”

Fight, Beto, but do it. Stand up and speak up and fight, rather than just talking. Don’t plan on fighting, start fighting.

Walk the walk. Resist!

Josh Stein, North Carolina Democrat Attorney General, on the ICEstapo arresting immigrants in Charlotte:

“We’ve seen masked, heavily armed agents in paramilitary garb driving unmarked cars, targeting American citizens based on their skin color, racially profiling, and picking up random people in parking lots and off of our sidewalks. This is not making us safer. It’s stoking fear and dividing our community.”

The Department of Homeland Security has said it’s focusing on North Carolina because of so-called sanctuary policies to protect immigrants from the terrorists in the ICEstapo.

One of the first things we need to do when the regime is gone, is put Kristi Noem on trial for the atrocities she let happen, she encouraged, she condoned..

Laura Dern, actor, on being a gay icon:

"There's nothing more incredible! I am honored to have incredible support. My origin story of really knowing the connection I was privileged to be a part of was Ellen's 'Puppy Episode.' It's so crazy that it wasn't that long ago and far more open of a time to explore story in so many ways. My connection came through letters! What that episode meant to so many people. In fact, a letter from a grandmother who was thanking Ellen and I for helping her get closer to and understand her grandson was one of my favorite letters that I ever received. We can work together to open up a sense of compassion and empathy that sadly is not there from those who live in fear. To be welcomed into community, for me, has been the greatest gift ever! That means the world."

Even in 1997, which wasn’t all that long ago, it was quite daring, quite a stance, for Laura Dern to play a lesbian on television in one of the biggest TV episodes ever. And she did it, and her career didn’t tank. In fact, she gained an entirely new fan base who welcome her and accepted her.

Blogiversary!?!??!! Who Knew!

So, on Friday, November 21, 2008, this appeared on the interwebz:

Newbie

I'm new to this blog thing, but I do love to talk and I do have an opinion—hell I have thousands of opinions—so I guess that's as good a place to start. Let's talk about.........Me!

I am a happily-partnered gay male, and I have been with the love of my life for the last eight years. We met online in an AOL chatroom—no, not THAT kind of chatroom—and became Instant Messenger friends, and then email friends, and then phone friends and then friends across the country and then I went from California to Miami to meet him, and that was that.

A few months later I'd left California and settled in Miami—talk about culture shock! We stayed in Miami for about six years until Carlos—the aforementioned partner—accepted a job in Smallville, South Carolina, and we loaded up the truck and moved to....well, not Beverly Hills, but Smallville. A small town. A cute town.

A town full of nice people who didn't seem at all peeved that the newest arrivals were a couple of mo's from Miami.

That's a start, I think. More to come.....I hope.

And that’s how it all started and here we are today some eighteen years and 11,600 posts and 96,000 comments later.

Who knew? But enough about me … thanks to everyone who follows and comments and blogs ... let’s keep going …

Bobservations

Last week at the Food Lion I was doing the grocery shopping while Carlos was at the deli counter and there was a Hot Man Alert … the alarms go off inside my head … dressed as men in the South do: boots, a baseball cap, a camo jacket and blue jeans. But this guy’s jeans were worn through all the right spots and were loose but hugging all the right places. And, while I was not stalking him, he did seem to be everywhere I went in the store, so as Carlos and I were driving home I relayed the story to him and added that:

“I wanted feel his basket.”

And Carlos said:

“You mean you wanted to fill his basket [cart].”

“I said what I said.”

Sometimes you just gotta …

This Tuxedo Says is from June 2021 …

Tuxedo never went to school, and so he doesn’t know from mathematics, but even he can see how this seems all kinds of wrong!

Tuxedo had zero fucks or McConnell, just like his Daddy!

Keep in mind that Pammy Jo Bondi’s politicized DOJ is fighting against the California redistricting effort which the people of California approved but is doing nothing about the Texas redistricting that occurred without voter input.

The corruption is real folks.

Speaking of Hot Men … cuz I was just doing that back up there a second ago … if this is the dress code for baseball games I need to get my ass to the ballpark for more games.

Does anyone else find it weird how Marjorie Taylor Greene has been despised for years by Democrats, and yours truly, but she never needed private security until yesterday, when her own party turned on her because MAGAts are violent and they follow their Dear leader.

PS I don’t trust Marge and think her sudden anti-Cankles switch is just a ploy to get her reelected next year.

Since Thanksgiving is next Thursday that episode of Bobservations will not air that day so I thought I’d share an actual text conversation between Carlos and myself where he slayed me.

It starts like this … still slightly kitchen-less we’ve been eating and ordering take-out a few nights every week and one night Carlos suggested take-out from Masa Street Food for dinner. I told him I wanted something different than my usual and asked about tamales and it went like this, starting with Carlos to me:

“Hi sweetheart. I checked with Masa and they have three kinds of tanales. They have chicken tamales with salsa verde, chicken tamales with mole, or poblano and cheese tammales. Those are the three kinds of tamales that they have. Let me know what you would like me to order. Love you.”

“I’ll look at their menu now. I’ll have one of each tamale and call you when I’m done so you can order for me top pick up. Love you.”

“In other words, just to be clear, do you want three tamales?”

“Yes, please. One of each.”

“Ok, that is, one chicken with salsa verde, one chicken with mole, and one poblano and cheese, for a total of three tamales. Just want to be sure.”

“Do you want me to draw you a fucking picture of three motherfucking tamales?”

“I don’t think they have that kind of tamale at the restaurant.”

Carlos slayed; and before anyone says a word about my language, Carlos knows me, knows my foul mouth and knows I was joking with him, which is why, yes, he slayed!

A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

This is Resistance! Keep it going!!
