Ain't That America XI

Here we are again with some crazy, and illegal, shiz in the GOP … from The Felon to Border Barbie to the CouchHumper … FauxChristian grifter Mike Johnson … the Pedophile Protection Party … along with some good news, some resistance and some funny …

A self-entitled  asshat who fancies himself a hillbilly … JD Vance’s team had the Army Corps of Engineers in Louisville, Ohio, take the unusual step of changing the outflow of a lake to accommodate a recent boating excursion for his family who were taking yet another vacation.

The Department of Homeland Security is holding up more than $100 million in preapproved funds intended to help hurricane-battered North Carolina clean up storm damage and fix infrastructure still in disrepair almost a year after Helene hit the region.

On July 22, North Carolina Governor Josh Stein sent a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi “DogKiller” Noem urging her to release the funds FEMA had already approved but DHS says FEMA had already “delivered substantial assistance to North Carolina.”

And that’s all! No more! Billionaires need tax breaks and Kristi needs her lips done again and her extensions done again and she has more Kristi Koncentration Kamps to open.

The Kennedy Center is apparently dropping the rainbow ribbon on its lifetime achievement medal following The Fascist takeover. The ribbon will likely be redesigned, possibly in black or gold because the rainbow flag is synonymous with the LGBTQ+ community and that annoys the Diddler on the Roof.

Of note: the ribbon has nothing to do with the LGBTQ+ community; the rainbow ribbon simply symbolizes the wide spectrum of skills and diversity within the performing arts but … scare the base.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is accused of using campaign money to pay his rent according to the Campaign Legal Center who described it as a “clear-cut violation of federal campaign finance laws.” Johnson is currently residing at the home of GOP colleague, Representative Darrell Issa. The complaint detailed five campaign fund disbursements of $2,500, or $12,500 in total, for “rent” to Greene Properties Inc., which is owned by Issa.

Sidenote: Johnson claims he doesn’t have a personal checking account but you know who else doesn’t have checking accounts? Drug dealers and criminals. Just sayin.’

The US Air Force announced it would deny all transgender service members who have served between 15 and 18 years in the military the option to retire early and would instead separate them without retirement benefits.

Transgender men and women who served their country honorably, unlike President Cankles AKA Cadet Bone Spurs AKA The Draft Dodger AKA The Fat Gelatinous Tub of Hate, will have to take a lump-sum separation payment or be removed from the service.

Fuck him.

During an interview with Newsmax, The Felon was asked about KKKaroline Leavitt’s performance during her daily press briefings, and he said:

“She’s become a star. It’s that face, it’s that brain, it’s those lips, the way they move, they move like—she’s a machine gun.”

Those lips are pressed firmly to The Felon’s ass no matter what pervy thing he says.

The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a report unveiling that Leon Skum’s brainchild, DOGE, had generated at least $21.7 billion in waste across the federal government between January 20, 2025, and July 18, 2025.

Think of how many children could be fed, how many unhoused people given a place to live, for $21.7 billion.

The official GOP social media accounts posted an image of The Felon standing in front of a car with a caption saying, “Making Automobiles Great Again.”

Sadly, the car pictured was not an American car, but the Russian Lada.

The stupid, it burns.

Stephen Falco, the so-called “christian” leader of an Indianapolis church is calling for members of the LGBTQ+ community to be put to death or to kill themselves:

“There’s nothing good to be proud about being a faggot. You ought to blow yourself in the head … you’re so disgusting. A bunch of faggots that want to come around, walk on our streets, and demand our children.”

Why is this important? Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith publicly shared his invitation to the “death to gays” church.

PS Beckwith better be careful. He has a severe case of gay face.

PPS Falco should be careful because every single day another so-called man of god is arrested for being a child molester.

Stephen Miller AKA Pee Wee German told Fox News he wants ICE to arrest 3,000 or more immigrants per day.

Of note, no mention of those arrested being criminals. Just brown people with accents.

Stephen Adams, the GOP President of the Utah Senate, just intervened to loosen the age of consent laws after an adult was charged with having sex with a thirteen-year-old child.

The adult in question is a relative of Adams.

The GOP has become the Pedophile Party.

When Democrat Representative Delia Ramirez, a Guatemalan American representing Illinois’s 3rd district, spoke at the Pan-American Congress in Mexico City, she infuriated MAGAts, the GOP and the Department of Homeland Security because they say she said:

"I’m a proud Guatemalan, before I’m an American.”

A video of the event shows Ramirez, who began her speech in English, concluded her remarks with a few words in Spanish …

“Yo soy guatemalteca con mucho orgullo porque primero que soy americana.”

… which translates roughly to:

“I am Guatemalan with great pride because first and foremost I am American.”

But, hey, when you can lie and spread hate why not do that, eh GOP?

JD Vance is on a summer break in Britain even though he’s not always been such a fan of that country once branding it an “Islamist” hellhole bent on ending free speech.

Locals have sworn to make Vance’s vacation as uncomfortable as his recent ski outing in Vermont, where he was accosted by protesters at every turn.

By the way, JD Vance has taken SEVEN vacations in his first 6 months in office: Vermont, India, Greenland, the Vatican, Disneyland, the UK, and Ohio.

Meanwhile, Americans are trying to afford groceries, rent, and meds while getting crushed by taxes and tariffs.

The Smithsonian National Museum of American History is reinstating the references to The Felon's two impeachments in its "American Presidency" exhibit. The museum had previously removed a temporary placard mentioning the impeachments, prompting criticism and accusations of bowing to political pressure but the museum maintains the removal was to address current events and make way for a more permanent update.

He tried to erase history but we will never forget.

Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows tried to gather a quorum to hold a vote on a new congressional map that could flip five Democrat seats to Republicans last week but with more than 50 Democrats nowhere near the Capitol, it didn’t happen.

Representative Gene Wu, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, is fighting an attempt by Attorney General Ken Paxton to vacate him from his elected office if he doesn’t return to the chamber.

 Republicans are asking The Felon to send the FBI to arrest House Democrats to aid and abet the GOP into cheating a win for The Felon.

Democrats’ best bet to flip a Long Island House seat that’s been red for more than a decade falls on Chris Gallant is a Black Hawk pilot, Army veteran, national guardsman, former air traffic controller and union leader , volunteer firefighter and out gay man.

Gallant is looking to turn that stellar resume into a competitive political campaign and help the Democratic Party retake the House majority in 2026.

Vote Blue Long Island.

The Republican-controlled Senate Appropriations Committee dealt a crushing defeat to The Felon by rejecting his brutal cuts to the National Institutes of Health and instead increased the NIH budget by $400 million.

Snap.

Audience members attending a town hall for GOP Representative Mike Flood in Nebraska began booing and jeering Flood shortly after the event started.

Flood kicked off the town hall by talking about The Felon’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” focusing on health care implications for Nebraskans and when he told the crowd there is a work requirement to receive health care, many attendees booed.

The crowd also chanted “tax the rich,” which Flood addressed. He argued that a Democratic plan to raise taxes on the high-income households would hurt businesses and employment. His response did little to quell backlash from audience members.

It’s the same old song-and-dance; the GOP gives tax breaks to the rich telling the rest of America that it will help everyone and yet it never does.

Vote Blue.

Roland Mehrez Beainy, originally from Lebanon and owner of the recently opened Trump Burger restaurant in Houston is facing deportation after failing to leave the U.S. on time and being arrested by the ICEstapo.

I mean, come on! You vote for a guy that says he wants to deport “illegals” and then you open a burger place in his name and then you get deported?

Sorry, not sorry, as Judge Judy would say, “You picked him.”

To celebrate his 41st birthday, the GOP gave JD Vance’s waistline a digital nip and tuck as seen in a photo of Vance overlaid with the message:

“Happy Birthday Vice President J.D. Vance.”

Vance’s left thumb seems to have thinned itself into oblivion, while the stars on the flag behind him—particularly around his head—look distorted and blurred. His right triceps seem almost to vanish, blending into a misshapen arm that doesn’t quite align with the rest of his physique.

And compared to the original image, which was taken on Inauguration Day as Vance arrived to take the oath of office at the Capitol, the space between his waist and right arm appears widened—possibly to make his torso look slimmer.

They left the mascara on though.

Funny, cuz it’s true.

You know what to do …

Ain't That America VII

Well, what a week it's been in America … floods killed over a hundred people in Texas while the government twiddled … now a pair of GOPers are claiming Democrats control the weather … the Cult is real and they love being sent to one of Kristi’s Koncentration Kamps … TACO flipped and flopped on tariffs again … DUI hire Pete Hegseth overstepped after perhaps being over-served … and some good news from couple of spots, even from a Republican … The Felon in tights …

Under pressure from worried farmers and hotel owners, The Felon’s regime put on their Flip Flops to launch a program to streamline issuing visas for temporary, migrant workers to try to make sure fruits get picked, meat is packed and lodgings are cleaned.

I have a suggestion … create a pathway for citizenship to every immigrant and just round up and deport the criminals.

Multiple governors say they’re being increasingly pushed to scrounge for disaster recovery money without the support they traditionally rely on from the federal government. The Felon has the sole power to issue disaster declarations, but states are finding emergencies that would usually qualify for federal assistance are being slow-walked or denied in recent months.

Well, what do they expect? He’s busy helping the 1%.

As FEMA responds to the deadly flooding in Texas, one key resource is missing: FEMA leader. David Richardson, the agency’s acting administrator. He has not been to the site of one of the nation’s deadliest floods in this country in the past 25 years.

Former FEMA officials said Richardson’s absence raises concerns that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem AKA Border Barbie AKA Dogkiller AKA Koncentration Kamp Kristi is controlling FEMA’s response.

The Felon announced plans to impose a 50% tariff on all goods from Brazil, in part due to the prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro over an alleged plot to remain in power after losing an election.

Criminals stick together.

The Felon is so dumb? How dumb is he? So dumb that he praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for speaking “such good English.” Odd,. Cuz Liberia’s official language is … English … while The Felon’s is blabbering bull shit.

Immigrants being detained in federal holding rooms in Lower Manhattan have complained of being unable to bathe or change clothes, cramped conditions, sometimes being provided just one meal a day, and sleeping on concrete benches or the floor.

But they’re brown people so, yeah, the regime doesn’t care.

GOP Representative, and certified asshatted loon, Tim Burchett has cosponsored Marjorie Taylor Greene’s House bill that would ban supposed weather control by the Democrats.

Yes, that’s what they believe and, well, say it’s, true … could Democrats send a hurricane to Large Marge’s house and slide a tornado over Burchett’s home?

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth did not inform the White House before he authorized a pause on weapons shipments to Ukraine, setting off a scramble inside the administration to understand why the halt was implemented and explain it to Congress and the Ukrainian government and the so-called president.

At a press conference, when asked who authorized the pause, the inept, confused, demented, hate-filled lump of gelatinous rotted flesh AKA The Felon, said:

“I don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”

Sounds like a well-oiled machine, doesn’t it?

The TACO is insisting ::: foot stomp head snap ::: that the August 1 tariff deadline set this week in letters to U.S. trading partners is firm and won’t change though it’s the opposite of what he said earlier in the week when he said the deadline was “firm but not 100% firm.”

Flabbier than his fat ass.

After the Big Billionaire Bill passed both the House and Senate, Wisconsin GOP Representative Derrick Van Orden responded to this Tweet:

“17 million people just lost health care. 18 million kids just lost school meals. 3 million Americans just lost food assistance.”

… with:

“YES!”

When they tell you who they are, believe them, and Van Orden has told you he is a goose-stepping fascist who works for The Felon and The Billionaire Class, but does nothing for We The People.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins wants all the immigrants removed from the fields across America and replaced with people on Medicaid.

So, if you’re looking for your Nana to take her to her chemo treatment, check the corn fields.

Arpineh Masihi, a devout MAGAt is being held in a detention center in the Mojave Desert and wants y’all to know that she still supports The Felon.

Masihi was born in Iran but has been in the US since she was three. She became a target for ICE over crimes committed 17 years ago, was arrested in June, and says this from her detention cell

“He’s doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here. I will support him until the day I die. He’s making America great again.”

And they say it’s not a cult. Good luck back in Iran, dear.

A federal judge has once again barred the regime from enforcing The Felon’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship.

US District Judge Joseph Laplante made the ruling after immigrant rights advocates implored him to grant class action status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by implementation of the regime’s racist directive.

One step forward …

North Carolina GOP Senator Thom Tillis has a warning for the regime as he finishes out his time in office:

“The president should know if there is anyone coming up for a nomination through any committee of my jurisdiction that excuse January 6 that they’re not going to get confirmed in my remaining tenure in the US Senate.”

Tillis is still angry about the violent events that unfolded after The Felon sent a mob of criminals, drug dealers and rapists to attack the US Capitol to protest the 2020 election results.

With little discussion, the Pittsburgh City Council unanimously passed three bills intended to provide further safeguards to LGBTQ+ citizens: the first bill prohibits the withholding or denial of elective medical care based on a person’s real or perceived gender identity or expression; the second bill aims to pre-emptively shield the LGBTQ community against being barred from society by future federal legislation; the third bill lessens the legal penalty for engaging in sex work from a misdemeanor to a summary offense.

Good on Pittsburgh.

Federal immigration agents would be banned from wearing most face coverings but be required to wear visible ID during public enforcement operations, according to a proposal from Democratic U.S. Senators Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

If the ICEstapo is doing nothing wrong, then show yourselves, identify yourselves.

In a new documentary, Surviving Ohio State, survivors of sexual predator Dr. Richard Strauss say Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan knew about the sexual abuse the student-athletes suffered and did nothing about it.

Jordan declined to be interviewed for the documentary, but his name is frequently brought up by former Ohio State wrestlers and a referee.

Jordan knew and did nothing; he’s complicit.

And now for a laugh … The Felon was ridiculed last week after the White House posted an image of the gelatinous lump of flesh as Superman with the tagline:

“THE SYMBOL OF HOPE. TRUTH. JUSTICE. THE AMERICAN WAY. SUPERMAN [_____].”

Of course, people had words:

“Guess the Epstein list is your kryptonite, huh?”

“As a Trump voter, this is cringy as hell.”

“Just imagine the response if the Biden White House had posted something like this. But Trump is graded on some kind of never-seen-before curve and this craziness is normalized.”

The AI hilarity is right next to the real blubbering tool.

PS MAGAts are up in arms because the director of the new Superman film, James Gunn, keeps reminding them that Superman is an immigrant!

So there we have it, another week of madness and sadness and fascism and racism down, and another week closer to the midterms where you know what to do ...

Ain't That America IV

Well, what a week or so it's been in America … chickens are now less safe to eat … a two-year-old girl was deported … Black History is removed from the Smithsonian … The Felon refuses FEMA aid to Red States … a con woman was pardoned by a con man … and more:

The USDA is withdrawing a rule to help prevent food poisoning from poultry contaminated with salmonella. Under the Biden Administration effort poultry companies would have been required to keep salmonella bacteria levels under a certain threshold and test for the presence of six strains most associated with illness. If any of those strains were found or standard levels were exceeded, the poultry couldn’t be sold.

Last Thursday the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Services ended the proposed rule “to further assess its approach for addressing Salmonella illnesses associated with poultry product.”

Further assess its approach? They have no approach.

A federal judge says a two-year-old US citizen was deported to Honduras with her mother and sister without due process, amid the Fascist Regime’s drive to ramp up deportations. The child—known only as VML—and her family were apprehended during a routine appointment at a Louisiana immigration office.

The judge wanted to speak with the girl's mother but was told by a government lawyer that it "would not be possible because she (and presumably VML) had just been released in Honduras."

The immigration status of the girl's mother, father and sister remains unclear but, once again, the two-year-old is a US citizen although I’m guessing The Felon will claim she’s a member of MS-13?

This new regime is once again trying to erase Black history, which is also American history, by physically removing the Greensboro, North Carolina, Woolworth’s lunch counter exhibit from the National Museum of African American History and Culture—AKA the “Blacksonian”—because of its “improper ideology.”

The exhibit features portions of the original lunch counter and highlights the story of four Black male students from North Carolina A&T who were brutally attacked after sitting at the whites-only counter February 1, 1960, and refusing to leave when denied service. Their defiance sparked a wave of lunch counter sit-ins across the South and became a major flashpoint in the Civil Rights Movement.

Improper ideology because … oh yeah, it makes white people look racist.

Kristi Noem, AKA DogKiller, AKA Where’s My Purse, AKA Border Barbie, has a new publicity campaign aimed at discouraging illegal immigration but it’s off to a rocky start as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has urged Mexico’s Congress to fast-track a law that would outlaw transmission of the ads on major TV and radio channels and calling it “propaganda.”

The campaign has raised questions in the US about its overtly political messaging and its price tag of $200 million over two years as the ads are appearing at a time when Leon Skum’s DOGE is slashing federal jobs.

This past week, under orders from Hair Furor, FEMA has denied federal assistance for tornadoes in Arkansas, flooding in West Virginia and a windstorm in Washington state. It also has refused North Carolina’s request for extended relief funding in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckleberry Sanders is especially upset at the aid being denied her state since she spent years lying to our faces for The Felon.

Oh Sarah, you’re as dumb as your daddy.

NIOSH’s congressionally mandated Health Hazard Evaluation program is one of many health and safety services on which firefighters depend that’s been shrunk or eliminated by HHS Secretary, and Heroin addict, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “reduction in force” of more than 10,000 employees.

Firefighters are regularly exposed to toxins and chemicals that affect their physical and mental health. The Center for Firefighter Safety, Health and Well-being researches why first responders get sick and die and how to prevent it and now services for hundreds of thousands of people exposed to toxins on 9/11 are hampered by these cuts to NIOSH.

First responders, first to have care cut.

The Felon has pardoned former Las Vegas City Councilwoman Michele Fiore weeks before her sentencing for wire fraud.

In October 2024, a jury convicted Fiore, suspended in July 2024 from her position as justice court judge after deliberating for two hours. The panel convicted her on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and six counts of wire fraud for taking money meant for fallen police officers’ memorials and spending it on herself.

Grifters helping grifters. They call themselves the party of Law and Order except when they’re screwing Law and Order.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned states that they will lose federal funding for roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects if they continue to foster DEI programs; impede The Felon’s immigration enforcement efforts; or defy other directives from the administration.

Duffy laughably claims this is all part of an effort to protect Free Speech but only the speech of the criminal regime.

A 25% U.S. tariff on pharmaceutical imports would increase US drug costs by nearly $51 billion annually, boosting U.S. prices by as much as 12.9% if passed.

But The Felon said …

And speaking of tariffs, The Felon is claiming that he’s already “made 200 deals” on tariffs and has spoken with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who denies that any talks have taken place.

When asked to confirm that number, The Felon muttered “100%”—but could not elaborate on what countries he’s solidified deals with or the terms. And to be clear, there are only 195 countries in the world.

Maybe he included the Penguins?

Leon Skum’s DOGE says it has saved $160 billion through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But in order to save $160B it will cost US taxpayers $135B this fiscal year.

This is what happens when ill-informed racist idiots vote a criminal back into power.

FBI Director Kash Patel said, in a since-deleted social media post, that his agency had arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, Hannah Dugan for allegedly helping an undocumented defendant avoid arrest from ICE.

Dugan is accused of escorting the man and his lawyer out of her courtroom through the jury door after learning that ICE agents were seeking his arrest. The man was taken into custody outside the courthouse after agents chased him on foot.

This is not America.

This week The Felon went to the Vatican to pay his respects to the passing of Pope Francis. Protocol suggested he be seated in the third row but somehow the fat gelatinous tub of diaper wearing narcissism was seated in the front row … where he fell asleep.

How respectful. Of note is Melanie, appearing to clutch her rosary and wish for her husband’s death.

Nineteen Blue states—led by California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York—are suing The Felon regime and the Department of Education’s order that they comply with The Felon regime’s all-white, all the time anti-DEI rules.

Stand up.

Demonstrators gathered last week on the steps of the Department of Health and Human Services [HHS] for a “die-in” over proposed funding cuts that could devastate programs addressing LGBTQ+ health disparities.

Health Secretary, and Heroin addict, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has sought to radically reshape HHS by cutting funding to programs geared toward treating and preventing HIV, a virus that in the US disproportionately affects gay and bisexual men.

Kennedy, not a doctor but in need of psychiatric counseling, has claimed that poppers cause AIDS and has questioned evidence linking HIV to AIDS, a discovery that won a Nobel Prize in 2008.

And so people will die, but I guess it’s just gay and bisexual men so it’s okay?

As part of his effort to overhaul the federal workforce and give that extra money to Billionaires Needing Tax Breaks, The Felon signed an order stripping collective bargaining rights from government employees at the departments of State, Defense, Justice, and HHS, among others. It also impacts the CDC, the FCC, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

But last week a federal judge blocked The Felon’s illegal move and also found that a key section of The Felon’s executive order allowing more than a dozen federal agencies to end collective bargaining with unions to be unlawful.

Resist.

This is an actual question asked by The Felon regime:

“Why should coal miners pay for PBS?”

A typical stupid question but it begs others:

Why should a poor Black family in Detroit pay for a President to golf every weekend?

Why should a single mother of three in Louisiana who works two jobs be denied healthcare so that the CEO of AETNA can get a tax break?

Why is the guy washing dishes in Des Moines paying for the president’s wife’s Secret Service protection so she can live anywhere but the White House?

We could do this all day …but here’s the real question The Felon and the corrupt complicit chicken shit GOP need to answer:

Do you have a heart? Did no one teach you to care about your neighbors? Do you know what ‘empathy’ means? Did no one ever teach you to ‘share’ when you were in kindergarten? Have you ever heard the phrase ‘do unto others’?

I cannot think of a group of people who need to watch Sesame Street more than the GOP. Perhaps if they did they would learn some common decency.

George Santos, the former GOP congressman liar from New York was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison on Friday.

Standing before a judge in Federal District Court a very subdued—some say he was crying—Santos seemed far removed from the swaggering lawmaker whose lies—that he was a college volleyball star and a Wall Street financier with ties to the Holocaust and 9/11, to name a few—turned him into a national punchline and led to mocking impersonations on “Saturday Night Live.”

Sorry, not sorry.
