Ain't That America II ...

Well, what a week or so it's been in America; Pam Bondi is bought and paid for; DOGE is corrupt; the CDC has given up on the Norovirus, too; books are being banned; Black history, AKA American History, is being erased; The Felon proves again that he's an angry little racist; Leon bought the presidency and made billions for himself; The Felon denied FEMA aid to hurricane victims; Linda McMahon proved you can be an uneducated tool and still run the Department of Education ...

And then Warren Buffet has an idea, and it will take We The People to get it done ...

In 2013, Florida AG Pam Bondi announced a fraud investigation into The Felon University. A few days later, The Felon Foundation gave $25,000 to a Bondi re-election group. Bondi then announced she would not investigate The Felon University. It is illegal for tax-exempt charities to engage in political activity and The Felon paid a $2,500 fine. A Bondi advisor said Bondi had solicited the contribution. If done as a quid pro quo that would be illegal.

The Felon and his daughter-wife Ivanka Felon then donated $500 each to Bondi’s campaign. In 2014, The Felon and his daughter-wife Ivanka Felon donated $125K to the Florida GOP, which helped with Bondi’s campaign. The Felon rented out Mar-Illegal to Bondi at a $135K discount for a fundraiser where he was a “special guest.”

Bondi spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of The Felon and now she works as his personal AG.

An unsigned agreement between DOGE and the Department of Labor provides significant insight into the working protocols between DOGE and federal agencies. Notably, the agreement calls for the Department of Labor to reimburse the DOGE up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE affiliates.

The agreement is backdated to start on January 20, the day The Felon was inaugurated, and ends on July 4, 2026—a timeline consistent with the executive order that created DOGE.

Paying DOGE an estimated $1.3 million for the services of four employees over that timespan would establish an annualized pay of about $217,000 … more than $20K above the pay scale for career civil servants. Musk has repeatedly claimed that DOGE workers would not be paid.

The fraud is coming from inside DOGE.

All of the full-time employees in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Vessel Sanitation Program are now off the job, gutting the agency’s ability to investigate outbreaks and conduct health inspections on cruise ships. The cuts to the program’s inspectors baffled CDC officials since the staff is not paid for by taxpayer dollars but through fees from cruise ships companies.

All this, as the U.S. has been battling a record surge of norovirus, largely driven by a new strain of the virus.

A Florida law that has pushed public schools to remove thousands of books, including literary classics, from their shelves could get even more restrictive as Republican lawmakers move to close a “loophole” they say still allows volumes depicting nudity or sexual conduct to remain on campuses.

New bills backed by GOP legislators would mean school districts could no longer consider a book’s artistic, literary, political or scientific value when deciding whether to keep it. Instead, any book that “describes sexual conduct” could face removal … books like “No David!” by David Shannon, showing cartoonish bare bottoms out of fear they depict the prohibited “sexual conduct” and classics such as Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and Ernest Hemingway’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls” also have been pulled.

The asshat behind the bill, wingnut Clay Yarborough says if he took photos of some pages in the targeted books, he would “go to federal prison” for child porn.

Seriously.

An image of and quote from Harriet Tubman have been removed from a National Parks webpage about the “Underground Railroad,” following several prominent changes to government websites under the racist regime; also gone are references to “enslaved” people and the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850.

The webpage now leads with commemorative stamps of various civil rights leaders with text including the phrase “Black/White Cooperation.”

Whereas previously, the article started with a description of enslaved peoples’ efforts to free themselves and the organization of the Underground Railroad after the Fugitive Slave Act, the article now starts with two paragraphs that emphasize the “American ideals of liberty and freedom” and do not specifically mention slavery.

It starts with erasing history …

A portrait of The Felon that depicts him raising his fist after that publicity stunt staged attempt on his ear is replacing an image of former President Obama in a prominent spot inside the White House.

Someone’s tiny orange mushroom dick is twisted …

PS Why would anyone hang a picture in their house of the moment after a gunman tried to kill them unless ... oh yeah, staged shooting.

Leon Skum bought the presidency for The Felon for an estimated $300M but what did he get for his money other than a room at Mar-Illegal and rides on Air Force One?

Well, SpaceX—best known for its exploding rockets—landed a $5.92 BILLION contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches—the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into space.

While Leon Skum and DOGE cut essential services to We The People he gets a taxpayer funded windfall.

After helping to elect The Felon to the presidency in 2024, and after the devastating damage from Hurricane Helene, this week The Felon denied North Carolina’s request for more FEMA relief calling it “unwarranted.”

But his golf weekends are fully taxpayer funded …

This week, Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO who is now charged with making decisions for 100 million American school children, repeatedly referred to AI technology as “A1.”

Yes, the steak sauce.

“Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything. It wasn’t all that long ago that it was, ‘We’re going to have internet in our schools!’ Now let’s see A1 and how that can be helpful.”

For McMahon it proved how inept and incompetent and in desperate need to be reschooled she is, but for Kraft Heinz’s A.1. steak sauce, it was free product placement and the brand jumped on Instagram with a spoofed ad for a McMahon-inspired A.1. bottle:

“For educational purposes only.”

And the post was captioned:

“You heard her. Every school should have access to A.1.”

The Felon only hires the “best” people …

Warren Buffett has a simple fix to end the deficit and it’s good:

"You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Fair is fair. How does this sound?

1. No Tenure/No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

2. Congress—past, present & future—participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 12/31/2025. The American people did not make this contract with Congress. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their terms, then go home and back to work.

The 26th amendment—granting the right to vote for 18-year-olds—took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple. The people demanded it. That was in 1971 before computers, email, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, 7 took a year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.”

Sounds good to me …

Ain't That America ...

Well, what a week or so it's been in America; The Felon disrespects the troops and locks up innocent people because ... brown skin, while Leon tries to buy an election and whines about his money woes while Leon; while some GOP Senators stood against The Felon's attack on federal judges, Democrats stood with Republicans to push The Felon's agenda along.

But, million of Americans  ... including yours truly who protested at the South Carolina Statehouse, marched against the fascist regime, so all is not bad ... yet. 

This past weekend, while four U.S. soldiers—Troy Knutson-Collins, 28; Jose Duenez Jr., 25; Edvin Franco, 25; and Dante Taitano—who died in a tragic training accident in Lithuania were being honored in a dignified transfer ceremony at Dover Air Force Base, the current draft-dodging, bone spurred, anti-military, anti-service president spent the weekend hosting a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at his Florida resort and attending a fundraising dinner.

Listen up: he doesn’t give a flying fuck about this country; he doesn’t give a fuck about the “suckers and losers,” as he calls them, who die in service to America, he only cares about his ego and his wallet and his Kids Meal and his wee orange dick.

The Felon administration “accidentally” sent Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian immigrant, to a notorious Salvadorian prison and says it can’t do anything to get him back even though the man had protected immigration status in America, specifically barring him from being sent back to that country for fear of persecution.

But he’s an immigrant so The Felon and The Flunkies don’t care.

Leaders at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ordered their staff not to release their experts’ assessment that found the risk of catching measles is high in areas near outbreaks where vaccination rates are lagging.

The agency would have emphasized the importance of vaccinating people against the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that has spread to 19 states, but a CDC spokesperson says the agency decided against releasing the assessment “because it does not say anything that the public doesn’t already know.”

People are dying, but tariffs and tax breaks for the wealthy deserve the attention.

While Leon Skum runs around with a chain saw looking for government waste—like Fat Boy Golf Trips every weekend—five senators who visited Guantánamo Bay criticized the migrant mission there as a waste of resources.

Really? Huh? See, the Pentagon estimated the operation cost $40 million in its first month to detain 85 migrants. That’s $470,588.23 per migrant for the month, or $15,180.26 per migrant per day.

Imagine how many school children could be fed for that much money.

Oh, and there are 1,000 government employees staffing the migrant operation to watch less than a hundred people but again … brown people with accents.

Remember those $1 million checks Leon Skum offered people in Wisconsin to sway their voted to the GOP? Well, y’all know it didn’t work but at least one of the people who received a check was Nicholas Jacobs, the chair of the Wisconsin College Republicans.

Scams from Nazi Leon? Go figure.

Foreign arrivals into major U.S. airports fell in March compared to the same time last year suggesting a reluctance to visit America.

The country makes over a $1 trillion a year on tourism but, hey, rich people need a tax cut.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., recovering heroin addict and human vessel for brain worms … and secretary of the Health and Human Services Department says he plans to reinstate many employees and programs he began cutting last week.

Wait; you cut programs and fired workers last week but this week you want to reinstate some programs and hire some workers back?

That brain worm is really noshing on the gray matter.

Leon Skum blasted top Felon enabler and alleged trade adviser Peter Navarro overnight, calling out his education and lack of corporate credentials after the two-day rout in the stock market cost Skum nearly $18 billion just on his Tesla stock.

Boo Hoo; billionaire do-nothing Nazi lost some coins.

The Felon says he will relax limits on automobile pollution from cars saying that the move doesn’t “mean a damn bit of difference to the environment” even though decades of science show that the pollution from automobile tailpipes has harmed the environment and public health.

But hey, a fat gelatinous rapist knows best, eh?

Republican senators … you read that right … are warning that any efforts to impeach James Boasberg, the federal judge who ruled against The Felon’s deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members and is now handling a lawsuit related to the SignalGate scandal but his corrupt, inept, monumentally stupid regime would be dead on arrival in the Senate.

Senior Senate Republicans also say they will oppose any effort by Speaker Little Mike Johnson to defund federal courts that rule against the regime’s agenda, sending a message that they want to de-escalate The Felon’s war against the federal judiciary.

Now, if more GOPers would step up … perhaps America will survive this criminal enterprise.

They’re saying that millions of people ... some say 5,000,000 ... came out for the Hands-Off march in all 50 states over the weekend to protest The Felon’s attack on We The People.

The people are angry, everywhere, across all states and party lines …

The Resistance is building.
