Ain't That America IX

Another week, and more scandals ... the Jeffrey Epstein scandal is still kicking because You-Know-Who is on The List and In The File … a Republican hates immigrants who are criminals unless they’re in his own family … another Republicans wants Palestinians to starve to death … instead of helping in the aftermath of natural disasters, FEMA will be spending its money to build more concentration camps … but George Santos went to jail and more Good News …

“Without my family, I’m nothing,” read the subject line of an email sent by then-state GOP Representative Gabe Evans to supporters in 2023 telling the story Evans has repeated often throughout his political career of his grandfather, Cuauhtemoc Chavez, who was born in Mexico and earned U.S. citizenship through his Army service in World War II.

But a 1941 INS document shows that Cuauhtemoc entered the country unlawfully with his mother and siblings in 1929 and resided unlawfully in Texas; it also shows that Cuauhtemoc, at 16 years old, was arrested for an “immigration violation” and “made the subject of deportation proceedings.” Cuauhtemoc’s AR-2 form also lists a prior, undated arrest for “attempted burglary.”

A category of immigrants that Evans has said without exception should be deported.

Oops.

The Felon, at a White House reception for Republican lawmakers:

“Where’s Tulsi? She’s like, hotter than everybody. She’s the hottest one in the room right now. Speaker, she’s hotter than you right now, speaker. She’s the hottest person in the room right now, speaker. She found out that Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the elections and they cheated without question. She has all the documents; she has everything that you need. You’ve found things that nobody thought we’d ever find. Would you say there is even a little question there Tulsi? She says no. Very happy and very honored to have you with us. We’re very proud of you, Tulsi.”

I’d take a year of Joe’s stutter over this nonsensical childish bull shit from a rapist.

This week GOP Representative Randy Fine said Palestinians should “starve away” while also claiming the reports of people dying of hunger due to the US-backed Israeli blockade are a “lie.”

This was in response to the news that 15 Palestinians, including four children, died of starvation over 24 hours; reports of starvation deaths from Gaza’s Health Ministry are corroborated by photos and interviews with family members of those who died, including six-week-old Yousef al-Safadi, who lost his life due to the lack of baby formula.

Since winning a special election to replace GOP Representative Mike Waltz, Fine has called for nuking Gaza and has called Muslim members of Congress “terrorists.”

I think the guy who cheers children starving and wants to “nuke” an entire region is the actual terrorist.

Senate Republicans handed The Felon a win with confirmation of one his first judicial nominees, Joshua Divine who has a long record of litigation against women’s reproductive rights, who argued in favor of bringing back literacy tests for voting, who has compared LGBTQ rights to pedophilia and bestiality., and who believes Christians are “obliged ethically to impose their beliefs on others.”

This is why we vote and why we resist.

Facing backlash from MAGA supporters about the handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein The Felon’s regime has begun squawking … Comey … Hillary … Obama … and wants these years old grievances litigated again.

He’s on the list y’all, as a rapist.

The Felon, in another attempt at deflection, is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington’s NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which is considered offensive to Native Americans; he also wants Cleveland’s baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians.

Other folks suggest an entirely different name …

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is preparing to send $608 million to states to construct immigrant detention centers Kristi’s Koncentration Kamps as part of The Felon’s to round up more innocent immigrants.

I guess we don’t need money for the floods in Texas or the fires in the northeast or tornados in the Midwest of hurricanes in the south. We just need more camps for the ICEstapo to fill up.

A U.S. appeals court has declined to lift restrictions imposed by The Felon’s Fascist Regime on White House access by Associated Press journalists after the news organization declined to refer to the body of water long called the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America as he prefers.

Freedom of the Press is dying, y’all.

Oklahoma’s Senate President Pro Tem, Republican  Lonnie Paxton, said an inquiry is underway following “a bizarre and troubling situation” where two board members reported that they saw naked women on State Superintendent, and Nationalist Christian AKA Nat-C, Ryan Walters’ office TV.

This is the guy who wants The Felon Bibles in every classroom, forced daily prayers to Jesus, and purity tests to weed out “woke” and pro-LGBTQ teachers while he watches nekkid women in his office?

Judge Colleen McMahon of the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York issued a preliminary injunction stopping the mass cancellation of National Endowment for the Humanities grants to members of the Authors Guild on the grounds that their First Amendment rights were violated.

The resistance at work.

Disgraced former GOP Representative and Liar and Drag Queen George Santos reported to a federal prison in New Jersey to begin serving a seven-year sentence for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress.

Cell Block Q got a new bitch, y’all!

U.S. District Judge Lindsay C. Jenkins for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern dismissed “in its entirety” The Felon Regime’s lawsuit against Illinois, Cook County and the city of Chicago over “sanctuary city” policies that the fascists say will impede its efforts to crack down on undocumented immigrants. Jenkins says The Felon “lacks standing” to invalidate the state, city and county laws that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.

Well, of course he lacks standing; have you seen his cankles?

District of Massachusetts Judge William Young, appointed by Reagan, has ruled that many of The Felon’s cuts to grants for the National Institutes of Health are now “void and illegal” and declares:

“Have we fallen so low? Have we no shame? I am hesitant to draw this conclusion, but I have an unflinching obligation to draw it—that this represents racial discrimination and discrimination against America’s LGBTQ community. That’s what this is. I would be blind not to call it out. My duty is to call it out. I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this ... I ask myself; how can this be?"

In total, Young has ordered the NIH to move forward with disbursement on funding for 357 grants that fascism tried to kill.

The Felon posted an AI-generated video showing former President Barack Obama being arrested.

If it weren’t so disgusting, the idea that a convicted felon with his own mugshot has to post a faked image of someone he fears, someone he’s jealous of, someone he will never be, would be laughable.

For his family’s holiday this year the Vice president CouchFucker AKA James Donald Bowman AKA James David Bowman AKA James Hamel AKA JD Vance is taking his family to the Cotswolds in England.

The people of the area are less than pleased and if tradition continues CouchFucker-Bowman-Hamel-Vance’s will be booed off the island quite quickly.

Gird your Sofas, Great Britain.

Newly uncovered archived video footage and photos reveal fresh details about The Felon’s friendship with fellow pedophile and rapist Jeffrey Epstein. Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended The Felon’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples.

In a brief call with CNN, The Felon was asked about the wedding photos, responded:

“You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Oops, Demented DonOLD, you lied. Is it because you’re on the list?

An effort is under way among some Pentagon officials to denounce Pete Hegseth as unfit to serve as Defense Secretary. Since May, drafts of a letter have been circulating among high and mid-level military brass and civilian workers to ‘Let the American public know this guy has no clue what he’s doing,’ one of them told DailyMail.com.

Three Pentagon officials—two military and one civilian, and each with at least 20 years in the department—spoke on the condition of anonymity. Aside from losing their jobs, they fear prosecution by the fascists.

Between Epstein and Bondi and Hegseth, The Felon is not having a good week, but we are …

And now for some funny … The Felon has announced that he will get drug prices down ...

“Not 30 or 40 or 50%, not 60%—which would be great. We gonna get em down 1,000%, 600%, 500%, 1500%. These are numbers not even thought to be achievable. Because I used a certain talent that I have and convinced the drug companies that you have no choice. The drug companies – one-fifth, one-half. It’s a tremendous difference and this is for the people in this room. Because this is something that nobody else can do.”

Does he not know math at all?

But he will know this …

We all know about Carlos’ eyesight and his limited knowledge of popular, or current culture, so here’s a little tale about that.

One rainy Sunday I was curled up in a living room chair watching TV and Carlos came into the room:

“What are you watching? Will & Grace?”

‘Why that show? What makes you think it’s Will & Grace?”

“I hear a man and a woman talking and there’s laughing.”

“So any time you hear a TV show with a man and woman talking and laughing it’s Will & Grace?”

“I don’t know … “

“Why don’t you just ask, ‘What are you watching?’

This past weekend I was watching a movie and Carlos enters the room:

“What are you watching? The Terminator?”

“Why that movie?”

“I don’t know. I thought I heard a robot.”

“Why don’t you say, ‘What are you watching?’”

“What are you watching?”

“Spiral.”

“I don’t know that movie.”

“Sigh … I know.”

The man slays me.

This Tuxedo Memory is from March 2019 and is entitled ‘Lazy Weekend ...For Some of Us’

 "We spent the morning on Friday getting the taxes done and were surprised to see we were getting a rather healthy refund.

That was nice. But then, with the onset of spring, and some slightly warmer days, there were lawns to mow and hedges to trim, and a ten-foot-tall holly bush off the deck that needed to be reshaped for spring; a little help with the ladder and I was able to give Holly a haircut.

Sunday was Carlos' turn in the yard and trimming bushes and replanting a tree and weeding along the fence.

Fun times. But we did manage to squeeze in some time with Tuxedo on the deck. Our cats don't go outside because, living in a somewhat rural area, there are all kinds of things they can catch from critters that roam through our yard. Still, Tuxedo is allowed out, and on the table on the deck, but only with supervision, AKA me, and only when it's nice and sunny for him to warm his bones, and then take a breather in the sun.

Not a bad life, really, for us, and Tuxedo.”

I miss those days on the deck with my Boy and my Man.

The Felon’s campaign may talk a big game, but when faced with potential legal action from Beyoncé, they folded like the ill-fitting, makeup-stained suit of their candidate.

On Thursday, Beyoncé issued a cease and desist to The Felon’s campaign after spokesperson Steven Cheung posted a video on social media featuring DonOLD deplaning in Michigan, soundtracked to Beyoncé’s song “Freedom.”

“Freedom” is, of course, the official campaign theme song of Vice President Kamala Harris—a choice that Beyoncé personally approved, so naturally The Felon tried to steal it.

In the Sorry Not Sorry file comes news that former Representative current convicted felon George Santos’ campaign has $562 in cash on hand but also owes $786,932 in debt.

Santos faces at least two years in federal prison for identity theft and up to 20 years in prison for wire fraud.

I don’t think he can all that back even working full-time in the prison laundry.

I guess if you’re a cowboy and you’ll be riding horses all day, it helps to come equipped with the extra padding.

The man who calls himself The Felon’s Prophet, Johnny Enlow, has a very exciting announcement: a big-time celebrity is going to endorse The Felon! And even better that celebrity is … dead. Or maybe a celebrity who faked his or her death? Or a celebrity zombie?

We won’t know right away because Enlow claims he’s “not yet allowed” to reveal the name of the dead celebrity.

Dead celebrities can be hard to work with, I’m guessing.

The so-called “Catwoman,” Jocelyn Wildenstein has given the world a look at her original face. The Swiss socialite, 82, looked like a blond bombshell lounging on a couch with her daughter Diane sitting on her lap. With her hair coiffed in a wavy bob, Wildenstein appeared casual and chic while peering off into the distance.

But then she did this … and then this and Catwoman was born.

And now she looks like this … and then this after having gone through multiple face lifts, eye lifts and more.

Jocelyn’s post comes after she claimed her late ex-husband Alec Wildenstein’s family cutting her off from her $100 million annual divorce settlement payment and so now, to make a few coins to pay for any future renovations to her face, Jocelyn is making a documentary about her life and faces.

This is Uriah Harris. He’s a model, trainer, lifestyle coach, has a nice smile and a pretty body, so I ask: Would You Hit It?

This Tuxedo memory—from February 2019—also doubles as a Tales of Carlos Post:

In our house we have four pets … MaxGoldberg, Tuxedo, Consuelo Roca-Jones, and the dog, Ozzo.

As happens with pets, they tend to bond with one of us slightly more than the other. Ozzo is clearly more attached to Carlos, though he loves to sit with me in the office while I play on the computer. MaxGoldberg, though, likes us equally, and will run back and forth between our laps, never quite sure who he wants to sit with for long.

Now, Tuxedo is mine; he bonded with me first and he’s always been ‘my boy.’ And Carlos sometimes gets jealous of how Tuxedo comes when I call him, and how Tuxedo follows me around the house, and how Tuxedo will sleep on top of me.

Cut to the other night when I walked in the living room and found Tuxedo curled up in Carlos’ lap, fast asleep. Carlos bragged:

“I think he likes me better now.”

I took a seat …

“Don’t bet on it.”

The second my ass hit the chair, Tuxedo was up and walking across  the side table to curl up in my lap and fall asleep. Carlos muttered …

“Stupid cat.”

“Honey, you were just a place card until his real daddy came into the room.”

“Stupid cat.”

It’s gonna get ugly when Carlos finds out that Consuelo, who hates to be held, has been sitting with me at night, sleeping in my lap.

PS Consuelo, never a fan of being held, still sits in my lap on occasion, but shakes her head at Carlos and walks away!

Failed criminal Congressman, and failed drag queen, George Santos, AKA Kitara Ravache, pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

He cried outside as he faux-pologized, possibly because he faces more than six years in prison and owes at least $370,000 in restitution. He’s just a low-rent, back-alley version of The Felon, and a typical ReTHUGlican.

It’s official, the Greatest love Story Never Told is over … on the second anniversary of their marriage JLo filed for divorce from Ben Affleck. Lovely that she chose their wedding anniversary to signal the end of the marriage, but nothing new because last week, on Affleck’s birthday, she posted pictures of the birthday party she threw herself last month.

In Jello’s world it’s all about Jello.

PS Carlos has always called JLo ‘Jello,’ and it always gives me the giggles.

I can smell the desperation from here … independent presidential candidate loon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wanted to meet with Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to discuss the possibility of serving in her administration if he throws his support behind her campaign and she wins.

Harris was a hard pass.

This meeting came on the heels of independent presidential candidate loon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. meeting with thrice-married adulterer, racist, rapist, con artist, traitor, The Felon, to discuss the possibility of serving in his administration if he throws his support behind The Felon’s campaign and he wins.

Seriously. Loon.

I could be wrong but this clearly looks like someone wants cakes for lunch and I really cannot blame him.

A new poll suggests The Felon’s vice-presidential nominee JD Vance is less popular than ... wait for it ... Sarah Palin. Yup, according to FiveThirtyEight's polling tracker, Vance's net favorability/unfavorability rating has dropped from -3 points in July to -9.5 points today; 33.2 % of voters hold a favorable opinion of Vance AKA Sofa Loren while 44.2% hold an unfavorable opinion.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, peaked +21 favorability in August 2008 before plummeting by 23% … still higher that JD.

I guess he can’t see the White House from his house.

The crowd at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago broke into loud chants of “lock him up” after former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton assailed The Felon and his legal woes. It was a new spin on “lock her up” that The Felon endorsed while running against Clinton in 2016.

Clinton did not respond to the chants and tried talking over the crowd but as the commotion gathered strength, she stood at the podium silently, smiling and nodding until the audience quieted down.

Fact: Hillary has done nothing wrong, been convicted of nothing, so locking her up is sort of an idiotic thing to say while The Felon on the other hand …

Lock him up.

Marc Buckner is a South African Instagram star best known for his modeling content and also appeared on The Bachelor South Africa but the real deal is: Would You Hit It? 

GOP Dumpster Fire: Liars, Racists, DEI Hires and Frauds

There’s an old saying about when someone shows you who they are, believe them; and when someone says something, openly and publicly, believe that, too, and not the spin machine that envelopes the liar afterwards.

Here are a few examples of liars, and morons, and weirdos showing us who they are …

Former U.S. Representative and Liar, Kitara Ravache AKA George Santos, is requesting a partially anonymous jury while federal prosecutors are pushing to admit as evidence some of his past campaign lies in his upcoming fraud trial.

Santos’ lawyers argued that individual jurors’ identities should only be known by the judge, the two sides and their attorneys due to the extraordinary level of media attention around the case and their client because the “risk of public ridicule could influence the individual jurors ability to decide Santos’ case solely on the facts and law as presented in Court.”

At trial  prosecutors want to tell the jury about Kitara's lies: including falsely claiming to have graduated from Baruch College; falsely claiming to have graduated from New York University; falsely claiming to have been employed at Citigroup; falsely claiming to have been employed at Goldman Sachs. They said it would “establish the defendant’s state of mind in connection with the charged crimes.”

Sounds fair to me.

Back to banning books in Iowa after the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a district judge’s earlier decision that temporarily halted key parts of a law, which the GOP-led Legislature and GOP Governor Kim Reynolds approved in 2023.

The law also forbids teachers from raising gender identity and sexual orientation issues with younger students.

Books and LGBTQ+ students are bad but hate and ignorance rule in Iowa.

Michele Morrow, the Republican nominee to run K-12 public education in North Carolina, filmed a video after attending the January 6 riots urging The Felon put “the Constitution to the side” and use the military to stay in power.

In a deleted Facebook livestream Morrow called for mass arrests of anyone who helped certify the 2020 election. Morrow had previously called for the public execution of Barack Obama and the death of Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats in comments on a since-deleted X account.

And she has a shot at running schools in North Carolina?

Red States that ban or restrict abortion have flooded anti-abortion counseling centers with nearly $500 million in taxpayer funding since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago.

When Florida passed its six-week abortion ban last year, it allocated $25 million to crisis pregnancy centers and Tennessee dedicated $20 million to the effort last year, up from just $283,000 in the year prior. But no state has spent more in taxpayer funding than Texas, which accounts for almost half of the total spending. The state agency that oversees the program acknowledged it doesn’t monitor how tens of millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent.

For those unaware, “crisis pregnancy centers” lure women in with deceptive marketing hinting that they provide abortions.

JD “Guyliner” Vance marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, uninvited and planned to give reporters a show as he confronted the vice president but his power play, his little boy ego trip, failed once he learned Harris was not present.

“I just wanted to check out my future plane.”

He still thinks he has a shot? He’s been fvcking too many couches.

The Felon’s campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung rushed to defend JD for the unsuccessful storming of Air Force 2 by saying:

“Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what [Kamala Harris] and her team have done on there. The smell alone on that plane must be crazy.”

Cheung’s post appears to lean into racial stereotypes but since he works for a racist, he might be a racist.

Karoline Leavitt, on Fox News Entertainment:

“Kamala Harris picking Tim Walz as her running mate … and her decision not to choose Josh Shapiro. Let’s be honest, she did not choose him because he is a Jewish American and has expressed strong support for Israel in the past … and Kamala Harris continues to cow-toe to the far-left pro-Hamas sympathizers in this great country.”

Clearly, she’s never heard “kowtow” out loud.

That’s Fox, illiterate blond DEI hires.

JD Vance has attacked the military record of Tim Walz during accusing him of “stolen valor” claiming Walz “abandoned” his unit in the National Guard before it was deployed to Iraq.

Tim Walz served in the National Guard for 24 years reaching the rank of commander sergeant major and was deployed to Italy. He decided to leave the National Guard in 2005 to pursue a political career by running for Congress.

 Vance served a single four-year enlistment in the Marines, where he worked for the press office.

He was a secretary, and he wants to be second in command to a man who avoided service five times because his feet hurt..

More lies about Tim Walz being spread by the right:

LIE: One claim is that Walz told CNN that he wants to invest in a “ladder factory” to help people scale the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and illegally enter the U.S.

TRUTH: Posts are misrepresenting a comment Walz made on CNN using a clip from the segment to make it seem as if Walz was advocating for illegal immigration when he was actually discussing how to prevent this from happening.

LIE: Walz changed the Minnesota flag so that it resembles the Somali flag.

TRUTH: Minnesota did unfurl a new state flag and accompanying seal in May and picked one designed by Andrew Prekker as the basis for the flag. Prekker said Walz had nothing to do with the creation of the flag, and Somalia had nothing to do with the flag design.

If you can’t win on truth the cultists resort to the lie.

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott has ordered hospitals in the state to ask patients about their immigration status in order to ascertain the costs of providing medical care to people living in the U.S. illegally.

It’s fearmongering that Abbott and the GOP are involved in; they off no solutions to the border issue, just razor wire and hate.

Montana Republican Tim Sheehy, running for US Senate, says he started an aerial firefighting business in his barn and built it into a publicly traded company on the front lines of increasingly dangerous wildfires. But reports filed with the SEC tell a different story about Bridger Aerospace.

Bridger is facing a cash crunch so dire that there is “substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue” after it $77.4 million last year and $20.1 million in the first three months of 2024.

If that’s what the GOP calls a successful business …

The Felon has announced that he will debate Kamala Harris three times with the first Debate “on Fox News on September 4th, 2024 [and] the second Debate … Fake News ABC, home of George Slopadopoulos … on September 10th, 2024 [and] the third Debate will take place on NBC … on September 25th, 2024.

As of today there’s no evidence that Fox News, NBC, or the Harris campaign have confirmed The Felon’s claim.

I’m sure y’all have heard of the latest attack on Tim Walz by the right, dubbing him “Tampon Tim” in reference to a new state law providing free menstrual products to school students. 

The nickname was trending nationally on X, with Chaya Raichik whose scurrilous “Libs of TikTok” account was one of the first to amplify it and it was picked up by former Fox News Entertainment host Megyn She’ll  Say Anything If It Gets Her Clicks Kelly endorsed the nickname on X.

Trouble is, shocking, that information is a lie; these free menstrual products are only available for free in unisex bathrooms, girls’ bathrooms, the school nurse or the front office.

When called out for her lies Raichik responded with “there’s no law against lying” but Megyn Kelly, another blond DEI hire, won’t admit she’s a liar.

Asked if Kamala Harris is Black, JD Vance said:

“I believe Kamala Harris is whatever she says she is, but I believe, importantly, that [The Felon] is right that she's a chameleon.”

Doublespeak from the man who says many things and then changes his mind.

And since he can't make up his mind, and since his President is a delusional old man, perhaps it's best that we all ...
