Ain't That America XXX ... or Triple X-rated Thanks To Kid Rock

Another week and the upside is that no Americans were murdered by the ICEstapo, even though we have a few hours left in the weekend. But still it’s been a week of grifter and tax dodging, and billionaires getting rich while the rest of us pay their share of taxes and higher prices for nearly everything, and of the so-called president proving yet against that he is a blatant racist.

Oh America …

Over there in Milan, after getting booed at the opening Ceremonies of the Olympic, JD Vance found another way to piss people off … JD Vance’s nearly forty car motorcade Milan delayed multiple athletes and staff heading to their events; Team USA figure skater Alysa Liu was among those caught in the disruption, as the athlete nearly missed her skate after the vice president’s oversized convoy blocked access to the Milano skating venue.

Seriously, can anyone tell me what JD does during his time in office other than vacationing and getting booed?

And why forty cars? How many love seats does a CouchFucker need?

 

Cankles is renovating the Kennedy Center to the tune of $200 million at a time when the economy is in the toilet and people cannot buy food or healthcare or heat. Of course, since no one wants to perform there and acts keep cancelling now would be a good time for a refresh. But do we really need another gold-plated tribute to the Fat Bastard’s ego?

That was a rhetorical question.

 

Remember when the GOP swore that the Democrats would take your guns? Well, in another case of Every GOP Accusation Is An Admission, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Box Wine Pirro has vowed to arrest anyone who comes into DC  with a gun, regardless of whether or not you have a license in another district or are a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else.

 

One of Cankles’ lap dogs, Secretary of the Navy John Phelan, has been named on a flight manifest found among millions of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showing that he flew in 2006 from London to New York on Epstein’s private plane.

Pedophiles stick together.

 

An overtly racist video clip of the Barack and Michelle Obama was posted on Cankles’ Truth Social. The clip, which portrayed the Obamas as apes, used a centuries-old trope against the first Black president and first lady in U.S. history during the first week of Black History Month.

The White first blamed a staffer, suggesting that Cankles doesn’t do his own posting, but that was denied. And the good “christian” KKKarolyin’ Leavitt dismissed criticism of the video as “fake outrage.”

Racism is fake outrage? I guess, perhaps yes, to racists, like Leavitt who also said:

“This is from an internet meme video depicting [Cankles] as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from [T]he Lion King.”

Let’s be clear … Cankles is a racist fuck; he lobbied to have five young Black men executed for a crime he did not commit; he was found guilty of refusing to rent his apartments to people of color;  he suggested Barack Obama is not an American, though Cankles himself has been married to two immigrants, both arriving here illegally.

When they show you who they are the first time, believe them.

 

The NYC Health Department announced that it has joined the World Health Organization’s [WHO] Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network [GOARN], becoming the first municipal health department in the United States to join this worldwide network of public health organizations after the U.S. withdrew from the WHO in January 2026.

GOARN provides international public health information and resources to control outbreaks and public health emergencies across the globe. The NYC Health Department follows California and Illinois health departments in joining GOARN.

New York will be safe, I guess, but the rest of the country? Not so much.

 

Mikey Weinstein, the president and founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said the nonprofit received reports from eight bases around the world that U.S. military members were being “pressured” to see “Melanie: From Whore House to White House.”

Cimon!!! These people put their lives at risk and now they are forced to watch this crap? Many are saying they preferred water-boarding.

 

If you wonder why Jeff Bezos shelled out $75 million to make “Melanie: From Whore House to White House”—with $40 million going directly to the Slovenian Hooker’s bank account, please note that Republicans’ tax cuts shaved billions off Amazon’s tax bill. Last year the company says it ran a $1.2 billion tax bill, down from $9 billion the previous year, even as profits jumped by 45% to nearly $90 billion.

Huh, you make $90 billion more last year than the year before and yet your taxes go down $8 billion.

Stop trusting the GOP and for the love of the goddess stop buying from Amazon.

 

Gus Kenworthy, a freestyle skier who will compete for Team GB at the 2026 Winter Olympics after defecting from Team USA, urinated a political message in the snow:

He later admitted it was urine and I will say this about Gus: he has great penmanship, er penismanship.

 

Tennessee GOP Senator Marsha “I Don’t Own A Brush” Blackburn has urged Chief Justice John Roberts to launch an investigation into liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson because … wait for it, it’s stupid like Marsha … Brown Jackson attended the Grammy Awards last Sunday … because she had been nominated for a Grammy for narrating the audiobook version of her memoir, “Lovely One.”

Blackburn is angry that others at the awards show made anti-ICE jokes:

“While it is by no means unheard of or unusual for a Supreme Court justice to attend a public function, very rarely—if ever—have justices of our nation’s highest Court been present at an event at which attendees have amplified such far-left rhetoric.”

Fuck off, Marsha, you’re just mad Brown Jackson wrote a book and you’ve never read a book.

Oh, and on the flipside Blackburn is facing allegations that she and her campaign engaged in “flagrant violations” of federal and state law by using donations from her Senate campaign for her gubernatorial race.

Has the entire GOP turned into a bunch of grifters?

 

Franklin Graham, one of those so-called religious hacks who haven’t a fucking clue what they are talking about, released this statement about Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show:

“Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform. The NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, TPUSA and Erika Kirk for providing an alternative—The All-American Halftime Show with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom!”

Graham’s complaint comes one day after critics resurfaced the lyrics to a Kid Rock song entitled, “Balls In Your Mouth” … I will give you the first few lines of this All-American Classic:

Cruising through town in my jacked up truck
Eyes open ’cause I’m scopin for a big butt slut
One that I can take straight back to my house
And have suck my dick and put my balls in her mouth

Graham is naturally getting slaughtered on social media for being an utter asshat.

Y’all know what to do; when they come for Free Speech and the Free Press, when they show themselves to be racist and misogynistic, when you see the grift right before your eyes, trust that it’s true and vote them all out …

Carlos doesn’t like kids; he says they’re loud and dirty and obnoxious and the only thing he likes about them is when I am asked if I like children and I say:

“Yes. Deep-fried with a side of Ranch dressing.”

But I digress. Carlos was set to translate at the courthouse here in Camden and I dropped him off on my way to work. He knows the building very well and finds his way around with ease. The courts were slightly back up so he sat on a bench in the hallway waiting for the lawyer and client to be called for their hearing.

As he sat there, two screaming girls were running amok in the hallway and finally their mother put the kibosh on the shenanigans. So, they walked to the bench where Carlos sat and began talking to him:

“What is that?”

“My cane.”

“What’s it for?”

“It helps me get around because I can’t see.”

“You can’t see?”

“Nope.”

And that started a long game of how many fingers am I holding up, until one girl asked him how he got to the courthouse:

“Did you drive?”

“No, someone dropped me off.”

“How did you get up here.”

And he talked about counting steps and listening to the sounds in the hallways to find the elevators and the stairs and the courtroom doors, and those little girls sat with him and questioned him and studied him and chatted with him learned a little something from him about being differently abled.

I said:

“See you do like kids.”

“No I don’t.”

“You do because I would have asked to have them fried and served with Ranch.”

And I wasn’t wrong. But he is far sweeter and more patient with kids than he likes to let on.

He’s really a sweetheart.

This Tuxedo Says is from July 2020:

"Tuxedo has been trying to explain the asshattery of All Lives Matter on Facebook for weeks now … this time he chose a direct route."

And we can continue to do that every day since then, y’all.

Right before other state lawmakers were set to be sworn in, Texas Democrat Representative Venton Jones asked his boyfriend, Gregory Scott Jr., to marry him:

In a time when our love and our very existence are challenged, often in the halls of this very building, this moment is a reminder that love conquers all. Gregory and I stand as proof that progress is unstoppable, and no amount of hate can erase the truth of who we are.”

In Texas, y’all; in the statehouse!

Of note, the Democrats gave us our first African American President and our first African American Vice President.

Republicans gave us our first Convicted Felon President.

See, there is a difference.

Last week on Jeopardy, journalist and hottie Drew Goins showed up to the competition in a sweater that gave us well-rounded pecs and nipples to gawk at.

PS He won.

South Carolina’s Nancy Mace descended even further into madness this week after Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett called her a child:

“I am no child! Do not call me a child. I am no child. Don’t even start, I am a grown woman, 47 years old.”

And then Nancy Mace, a grown woman, not a child, asked Crockett if she wanted to “take it outside.”

Doesn’t get more childish, Nancy.

As The Felon prepares to return to the White House, Amazon has cut commitments protecting Black and LGBTQ+ people. Statements that said Amazon supported the rights of transgender people and LGBTQ+ and Black employees disappeared from a company webpage in December.

So, if you’re trans, Black or Gay, Amazon has clearly stated they don’t give a fuck about you and if you still want to shop there because it’s easy peasy, then maybe you don’t give a fuck about equality either.

When I heard that Carrie Underwood was going to perform at The Felon’s inauguration, my first thought was to boycott her music and then I realized I have been boycotting her music since she first started singing.

PS The flag is not meant to be worn as a tank top, hon; that’s not patriotism.

During a confirmation hearing for defense secretary nominee, alcoholic, homophobe, sexual predator and misogynist Pete Hegseth, GOP Senator Eric Schmitt complained about Wokeness in the military. while sitting in front of a sign that misspelled the word “military.”

You cannot make this shiz up.

Carlos has a serious issue with time, being late almost, almost, always. On the other hand, I was raised to almost, almost, always be early.

The other day, though, I got stuck at work chatting with co-workers and was late picking him up; he was annoyed. And we had a small spat about it, where I apologized—I should have called—but also reminded him that he has no sense of time and he is almost, almost, always late and has no issue with making people wait.

Cut to this morning; we had to leave early because Ozzo had a surgery and a dental cleaning planned and we had to have him at the vet’s office between seven and seven-thirty. We usually have breakfast at 7:30 so I suggested Carlos, who gets up first, have his breakfast first, and I’d eat after we dropped the dog off because I don’t need to go in as early.

I awoke at 6:45. We had fifteen minutes to leave, so I jumped out of bed and brushed my teeth, got dressed, threw on a ball cap and went out to the kitchen where Carlos … was preparing to make a couple of Café con Leches! I said:
“We have to go! We have to get Ozzo to the vet before 7:30.”
Carlos was stunned:
“Well, when can I have breakfast!”
“You’re right, call the vet and tell them we’ll be there at eight or so … after you have breakfast because they’ll wait on surgery for your breakfast!”
This is the same man who, when we lived in Miami, had a forty-five-minute commute to work each morning, and one morning, as we ate breakfast, he noticed he had just twenty minutes to get to work.
“Oh my god! I’m gonna be so late …”
I started to get up from the table.
“…so, I’ll have one more piece of toast.”
Seriously.
In Perhaps He Shouldn’t Speak news … Kanye West is back and under fire for Tweeting his support for Candace Owens, a pro-Trump, anti-Black Lives Matter conservative:
“I love the way Candace Owens thinks … only free thinkers.”
Kanye failed to notice that Owens is the conservative communications director for Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that spreads right-leaning values on college campuses and is thisclose to the _____ White House. Owens oversees the group’s “urban engagement” which means she attempts to dismantle arguments about white privilege put forward by black activists and the Democratic Party and defends the NRA because “they helped to train black Americans to use guns to defend themselves against the Ku Klux Klan, a Democrat terrorist group.”

Again, Kanye, take a seat and let the grownups talk.
When Sean Hannity was named in court this week as a client of _____’s fixer Michael Cohen, he insisted their discussions were limited to the subject of buying property:
“I’ve said many times on my radio show: I hate the stock market, I prefer real estate. Michael knows real estate.”
Apparently so; Hannity’s chosen investment strategy is confirmed by thousands of pages of public records detailing a real estate portfolio of remarkable scale. The records link Hannity to a group of shell companies that spent at least $90 million on more than 870 homes in seven states over the past decade. Hannity is the hidden owner behind some of the shell companies and his attorney did not dispute that he owns all of them. But, for some of the mortgages, Hannity obtained funding from HUD, Secretary Ben Carson’s department.

Hannity did not disclose his cooperation with HUD when he had Carson on his show last June, but, during that segment, he railed against the state of public housing.

Naturally, Hannity, Carson and Fox aren’t talking because … criminals.
I’ve shared this story before but, years ago Carlos and I went to Disneyworld in Orlando. After a fabulous day we stayed for the fireworks and then began walking toward the exit; we held hands as we walked and noticed a lesbian couple walking ahead of us also holding hands.

A voice behind us shouted, “What is this? Gay Days?”

And one of the lesbian shouted back, “For us, every day is gay day.”

And now, all these years later, Disney is going even more gay by paying homage to the LGBTQ community with a red cap featuring rainbow-colored ears and a pair of Mickey Mouse hands forming a rainbow heart on the front.

Every day is gay day at Disney!
In This Is High-Larious news, remember when _____ used to boast about his appointment of Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch as one of his big accomplishments?

Now, maybe not so much. It seems Gorsuch recently sided with left-leaning Justices Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer in a case dealing with an immigrant who was facing deportation.

And now _____ is said to be fuming.

Liberal and pro-immigrant? I call it well-deserved bad karma for _____, Mitch McTurtle and the entire GOP for stealing that SCOTUS seat. They should've done the right thing and put Merrick Garland on the bench.
Oops. After 11 hours of political pushing and shoving at the Utah Republican Convention delegates forced Mittsy Romney into a primary election against state Representative Mike Kennedy for that U.S. Senate race.

Kennedy finished in first place, with 51% of the vote to Romney’s 49% percent, but neither reached the magic 60% number the get the nod.

Still, it’ll be nice to see Mittsy, who used to blast _____ but now kisses his fat ass, have to actually work for this.

Hopefully the people of Utah will just say ‘No.’
More Oops? As the Pee Tape saga continues to unfold, _____ claims he told James Comey that, well, he didn’t need to hire hookers—when he hires porn stars—and that he was only in Russia for one day when the ALLEGED golden showers took place.

But, it turns out that was another _____ lie as flight records prove he was in Moscow during the “Rainy” season for 45 hours … clearly overnight. Plus, _____’s own bodyguard had contradicted the story.

Now, I’m not saying he was peed on in Russia, but he’s clearly lying about a lot of that trip so… maybe?

As I said to _____ on Twitter:
“Urine trouble!”
I’m’a just say this … I don’t like Beyoncé. I don’t find her talented, unless talent these days is a wig machine, a weave, and an ass shaking.

There. Sue me.
Don Blankenship, a Republican running for the U.S. Senate in West Virginia suggested that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell faced conflicts of interests because his wife, Elaine Chao’s, father is a “wealthy Chinaperson.”

Blankenship is running for the Senate as a proud West Virginian with Appalachian roots, but his primary residence is a $2.4 million villa with palm trees and an infinity pool near Las Vegas.

Yup, he’s clearly a Republican who says one thing while living the other.

Oh, and even better, Blankenship is married to a Chinese immigrant, but maybe her father isn’t a rich “Chinaperson.”
Okay, so now Amazon has announced that they can deliver your packages to your car, rather than your home because they will be able to access the trunk of your car, open it, and put your packages inside; in addition, if the trunk is full, they will also be able to unlock your car and put your order inside the vehicle.

We just learned about our privacy being invaded, and personal information stolen, corrupted on Facebook and now people are going to let Amazon be able to open your car and leave something inside for you.

I cannot wait for the first Amazon customer to sue the company because their car was stolen by someone who hacked into Amazon’s system.
Dear Starbucks,

‘After you get done closing all your stores and giving your employees a racial-bias education, could you close America and offer it to the entire country.

Asking for a country.
Did you see the photo of _____ and French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House when _____ wiped the “dandruff” off Macron’s shoulder and then said:
"They're all saying what a great relationship we have, and they're actually correct. We do have a very special relationship. In fact, I'll get that little piece of dandruff off–we have to make him perfect. He is perfect."
I kinda hoped Macron would have reached out to _____’s shoulder, tried to wipe it off, and the said:
‘Huh. Ignorant, unqualified, racist, rapist, blowhard doesn’t come off as easy.”
That would’a been fun.
In Hot Men News … a new show on BBC America, Killing Eve, features a couple of rugged looking older men who may, or may not, tickle my, um, ivories … Edward Akrout and Owen McDonnell.

On the other end of the age spectrum, we have Garrett Hodges, a high school football player and singer who, until this week, was a contestant on American idol. I love a jock with perfectly manicured brows.


Just sayin’.

Good News Friday: Jeff & MacKenzie Bezos Give $2.5 Million in Support of Same-Sex Marriage


This is the tale of the 1% standing up for the rights of the, and I’m guessing here, the 10%
Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon.com, and his wife, MacKenzie, are donating $2.5 million to help pass that same-sex marriage referendum in Washington. This makes the couple among the largest financial backers of marriage equality rights in the entire country.
And I say Bravo and Brava!
The donation has doubled the money available to Referendum 74 proponents, who are calling it a “game-changing gift that gives them a fighting chance” in November.
Zach Silk, the campaign manager for Washington United For Marriage, says, “To get this from a straight, married couple sends a powerful message that marriage is seen as a fundamental question of fairness.”
 Thursday in an interview.
Bezos joins a growing list of heterosexual business executives—like Bill Gates and Steven Ballmer--who are replacing wealthy gay people as the some of the biggest donors to the movement behind marriage equality. Those two men each gave $100,000, but with his seven-figure gift, Bezos has now set the bar even higher.
Jennifer Cast, one of Amazon’s earliest employees and a lesbian mother of four, and a now a fundraiser for the pro-referendum effort, emailed Bezos recently about marriage equality.
In her e-mail, Cast asked Bezos to understand the importance of the issue to her and her longtime partner: “I want to have the right to marry the love of my life and to let my children and grandchildren know their family is honored like a ‘real’ family. We need help from straight people. To be very frank, we need help from wealthy straight people who care about us and who want to help us win.”
Cast says she gad no idea how Bezos would respond until she received an email back from him:
 “Jen,” the e-mail said, “this is right for so many reasons. We’re in for $2.5 million. Jeff & MacKenzie.”
Jeff and MacKenzie Bezos are an extremely private couple, and declined, through a public relations representative, to be interviewed about their donation, but their gift speaks volumes. Loudly.
