As I’ve mentioned before, I have no idea why I still pay the slightest attention to politics. I derive absolutely no enjoyment from it. Changes that are absolutely essential never come. The changes that do occur just make things worse. And we continue to be “represented” by carnival barkers and grifters with capped teeth.
Behind these shameless frontmen/frontwomen/fronttheythems are an illusory group we still can’t really identify. Jews? Freemasons? The Vatican? I think it’s something like the Illuminati, but of course I have no real knowledge. I haven’t been invited to a single Bilderberg meeting, or all male funfest at Bohemian Grove. But as Truman’s Secretary of Defense James Forrestal told Joe McCarthy, before someone pushed him out of a window at Bethesda Naval Hospital, if there wasn’t a giant conspiracy, once in a while they’d make a mistake in our favor. The historical record shows that they have never made a mistake in our favor, except possibly the founding of the Republic, or the election of JFK. As William Henry Harrison said, before he died after barely a month as president, “all the measures of the government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer.” That’s a pretty profound quote.
So maybe it isn’t surprising that Harrison, colorfully known as Tippicanoe, stood too long in the rain giving his inaugural address. He was old, and it was raining, or maybe it was too cold. So what else could he do but die in office? That quote I unearthed is probably unknown to 99.9 percent of Americans. But then, practically anything of real political or historical significance is unknown to 99.9 percent of Americans. We are a dumbed down lot, and almost all are historically illiterate. So here comes a Thought Criminal like me, trying to dispense real history- hidden history- to the public. That’s never going to make you rich, but it does provide a sense of satisfaction. The few seemingly honest political figures always seem to get screwed. Murdered, like Huey Long and the Kennedys. Slandered, like everyone from William Jennings Bryan to Cynthia McKinney. They will allow a Thomas Massie, just for their entertainment.
The People, at least the 70 million or so MAGA voters, are under the impression that they have “won” something with Trump back in office. I heard Alex Jones brag about all the “winning” that’s been going on. I must have missed that. The DOGE disclosures were great. But there has yet to be a single person held accountable for the 800 zillion or so in fraud that Elon Musk claims has been discovered. And I don’t see any benefits coming from the 800 gazillion or so that Musk claims has been saved. Trump has variously said that everyone making under $150,000 should pay no taxes, that tips, overtime and Social Security shouldn’t be taxed, and that the income tax should be eliminated. I just had to pay my taxes again last month. Trump even said he might abolish the IRS. Trump, if you haven’t noticed, says that he “might” do a lot of things. And then, of course, there’s that $ 5,000 taxpayer refund from DOGE.
The status of all these Trump promises is difficult to ascertain. That’s the magic of Trumpenstein. You just say different things that often are in diametrical opposition to each other, and no one calls you out on it. The mainstream demons don’t want to remind him of his suggestions which might actually make things better, and the MAGA people are simply stuck in the 4D chess, “two more weeks” mode. Big arrests are coming! Kash Patel means business! There were stories all over the alt media in recent days about how DOGE discovered that Clinton sycophant and probable cannibal John Podesta had set up a $375 billion EPA slush fund under Biden. I don’t know, but that sounds like it’s some kind of crime. Let me know when Kash Patel, or Pam Bondi, prosecutes him. Podesta’s bizarre emails were tied to the Pizzagate scandal, which hasn’t been “debunked.” Recently, by the way, the guy who shot up Comet Pizza was killed by police. Just another mistake that wasn’t made in our favor.
These stories flare up for a few days, and then disappear into the memory hole. Already, the JFK hearings have been forgotten. Now, former Rep. Curt Weldon, who never displayed any kind of independence when he was in Congress, has suddenly become a vocal 9/11 Truther. Ron Johnson is supposedly interested. I’m sure our “representatives” will get to the bottom of it. And with the recent “suicide” of Virginia Giuffre, the lovely Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s interest in the Epstein files has been rekindled. She took Pam Bondi to task again, because Pam Bondi doesn’t appear to be doing anything with all the juicy files she has had “on her desk” for at least a few months. It’s probably only me, but Luna looks even cuter when she’s angry. At any rate, the Epstein list is MIA, like all those American POWs we left behind in Korea and Vietnam. No one did anything about that, either.
As I drive around my county, which I’m told is one of the richest in the country, I see lots of evidence of things not being done. Perpetual construction that never results in any improvements, but does back traffic up with pointless lane closures. Third World- style overgrown grass in common areas. Buildings which have been empty for a long time, large enough to hold countless homeless citizens and save them from shitting on our streets. And ancient power grids, which result in power outages from normal rainfall and brisk winds. Keep in mind, the lines in our neighborhood are all underground. Yet when they were all above ground, subject to all that rain, snow, ice, and wind, we only occasionally lost power for a few hours during thunderstorms. It’s a technological advancement thing, you wouldn’t understand. Just like you never saw infections in hospitals when everyone was smoking cigarettes. But I digress.
One of the funniest episodes of South Park satirized the world of pro wrestling. They spoofed how the “action” now in most matches comes from the wrestlers “dissing” each other in the ring. Grabbing the microphone and unleashing another snappy zinger, as the crowd goes wild. That’s how our WWE politics works under Trumpenstein. He’s kind of the commissioner- the Vince McMahon- of our political world now. And he even appointed McMahon’s estranged wife Linda to head the Department of Education. I guess being married to a wrestling guru qualifies you for that. But then, Trump has vowed to abolish the Department of Education, so who cares? He could have nominated ‘Lil Wayne, one of the many rappers he pardoned, for that matter. Has the Department of Education been abolished? Who knows? Trying to find out anything that really happened under Trump is almost impossible.
Both sides in our laughable two party system have a reason to lie about everything Trumpenstein says or does. Mass deportations? Yes, he is breaking up families! Whole communities are disappearing! Who will nanny our kids in Spanish only? While the MAGA faithful shout, he’s cleaning house, just like he said! Promises made, promises kept! I still don’t understand the saga of the alleged MS-13 gang member who was sent to the mega-prison in El Salvador. Something about symbols on his fingers. I just can’t get that worked up about it, even if he was MS-13. I’m waiting for the millions that need to be deported to be deported. And not for taxpayers to pay El Salvador to house them there. Now Trumpenstein is reviving his old, ridiculous “touchback’ amnesty, which involves them self-deporting, and then being brought back in legally. What? Exactly what benefit do we get from that? I clearly don’t understand “winning.”
What about Elon Musk? And DOGE? Is he still there? Is DOGE still auditing anything? If so, what? What happened to the Pentagon audit that Trump approved? For that matter, what happened to the guided tour of Fort Knox? Lots of promises. How many were kept? Has Trump placed an actual, tangible tariff on any country? We hear bluster, constantly shifting figures, but what really was done? Has this crazy stock market roller coaster ride been the result of threats, rather than policy? As can’t be repeated enough, where Trump is involved, everything is unclear. This is your official “opposition” to all the tyranny and corruption, ladies and gentlemen. Instituting tariffs before rebuilding factories. Vacillating between pleas for peace and warmongering. “Mass deporting” fewer illegals than Biden. Name calling and buffoonery. Trump governs like the WWE Hall of Famer he is.
