As we start our year long celebration of our nation the silliness just keeps rolling out of the clown tent we call DC….
Donny got his way….his bill to kill 11+ million has past the House and headed to his desk and was signed on 4Jul25….
The CBO also estimates that nearly 12 million will lose health coverage.
The legislation includes $150 billion in additional military spending, and the White House plans to use $113 billion of it to supplement the 2026 military budget, bringing it to approximately $1.006 trillion, representing a 13% increase from 2025.
That was the giant news of the week….Donny is cashing in on his presidency….at least past presidents waiting until they were out of office before cashing in…..but not the greedy Donny.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to unveil “Trump Fragrances,” a new line of perfumes and colognes marketed as symbols of “winning, strength, and success.” The fragrances, available for both men and women, retail for $249 per 3.3-ounce bottle and feature packaging emblazoned with golden statues of Trump himself.
This latest venture comes on the heels of a flood of Trump-branded products ranging from $399 sneakers and Bibles to cryptocurrency, digital trading cards, and luxury real estate projects, many launched since his return to the presidency earlier this year.
A recent New York Times investigation revealed that Trump and his family have raked in millions through ventures that blur the line between public office and private enterprise. Trump’s personal financial disclosures show over $57 million in 2024 earnings from branded merchandise, including $2.5 million from fragrances and sneakers alone.

This past week was mostly about his terrible bill but there were a few spots of hilarity….
A “deranged” cannibal immigrant allegedly began eating his own arms during a deportation flight, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed on Tuesday. The disturbing incident was recounted during her visit with President Donald Trump to the newly constructed “Alligator Alcatraz” deportation facility deep in the Florida Everglades.
“The other day I was talking to some [US] Marshals that had been partnering with ICE,” Noem said. “They were they said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself, and they had to get him off and get him medical attention.”
Noem initially shared this last week during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. Describing a conversation with a US Marshal, Noem said she was told, “off-handedly,” that there was a cannibal on a “planeload of illegals.” When she asked what was meant by “cannibal,” the marshal allegedly replied, “He started to eat his own arms.”
“You know, what bothered me the most is that this US Marshal just said it like it was normal,” Noem responded. “He said he was literally eating his own arms. That is what he did. He called himself a cannibal and ate other people and ate himself that day.”
Just another true Trumpite that has the IQ of her shoe size.
Then there is the taxpayers footing his golfing addiction…..
The Secret Service is allocating more than $600,000 to rent golf carts and portable toilets for use in Bedminster, New Jersey, the home of President Donald Trump’s private country club, according to a review of government procurement data by The Independent.
On June 3, the agency signed a pair of definitive contracts with Associates Golf Car Service of Poughkeepsie, New York, and Restroom Resources LLC of Wrightstown, New Jersey, federal records show.
The agreement with Associates Golf Car Service Inc., for ‘Golf Car Rental and Transportation Services,” is worth a potential $550,930 and runs through June 2, 2026. Restroom Resources’s work order for “portable restroom rentals and services” is worth up to $80,385, runs through May 31, 2026, and comes with a three-year renewal option, for a potential total of $333,801. Taxpayers, as is customary, will be footing both bills.
Have not heard a lot of outrage about these golf outings….but if it were a Dem president then we would have to hear crap for days and weeks….hypocritical bunch of idiots.
Donny will get a $16 million windfall from Paramount….
A rep for President Trump’s legal team is calling it “another win for the American people” in the realm of “fake news”: Paramount late Tuesday announced that it will pay $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit over the editing of an October 60 Minutes interview with then-presidential rival Kamala Harris. The payment will cover Trump’s legal fees, with the remainder earmarked for his future presidential library. CBS said in a statement that the money would not be paid to Trump “directly or indirectly,” reports Reuters. “The settlement does not include a statement of apology or regret,” the company added. As part of the deal, Paramount will release written transcripts of future 60 Minutes interviews with presidential candidates.
CBS originally described the suit as “completely without merit,” and legal experts widely thought CBS would win an eventual court battle. News organizations have broad discretion in editing, and CBS did not report anything factually inaccurate. The Times calls the settlement “an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major media organization.”
MSM running scared…..spineless reporting does nothing to help the people understand what is happening to their beloved country.
Then there is the re-hash of the desire from 4 years ago on Mt. Rushmore….
A Tennessee congressman is calling for President Trump’s face to be added to Mount Rushmore, urging federal officials to study the possibility of expanding the iconic monument to reflect what he calls a new chapter in American history. GOP Rep. Andy Ogles has penned a letter asking Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to conduct a feasibility study that would examine the technical, legal, and cultural implications of such an addition.
Ogles posted on X that Mount Rushmore “must evolve to reflect the full arc of American history” and argued that Trump would be a fitting addition. “Given the scale and scope of [his] recent achievements—especially the impending enactment of the Big Beautiful Bill, the historic act that will ignite America’s Golden Age—it is essential that we immortalize President Trump’s likeness on Mount Rushmore,” Ogles wrote Thursday.
The dictator would be happy and reward this dickhead for his loyalty.
Speaking of dictator….a piece of art has appeared
on the Mall in DC….
A new sculpture on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., has drawn the ire and intrigue of many as it seemingly calls out Donald Trump and his current administration. The 8-foot-tall installation, which features a reconstruction of the Statue of Liberty‘s head being crushed by a large gold-colored thumbs-up, has ignited both support and backlash from the public.

I have mentioned this earlier….but here is the skinny….
President Donald Trump announced on Monday a limited edition, self-branded fragrance with a gold statue of him on the bottle, urging his supporters to “get one for your loved ones.”
“Trump Fragrances are here,” announced Trump in a Truth Social post. “They’re called ‘Victory 45-47’ because they’re all about Winning, Strength, and Success — For men and women. Get yourself a bottle, and don’t forget to get one for your loved ones too. Enjoy, have fun, and keep winning!”
The fragrance is available in two versions – one for men and one for women – and will set back supporters a whopping $249 for each 100ml bottle.
On the store page, the cologne for men boasts “rich, masculine notes with a refined, lasting finish,” and is advertised towards “men who lead with strength, confidence, and purpose.”
More crap added to the crappy line of Trump merch…..and money in his wallet from idiots.
Enough of this Sh*t Show for today…..
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and safe holiday weekend.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
The way he is expanding the presidency to include his personal business endeavours is honestly quite astounding. Is there no law or clause that prevents a sitting president from doing this? If not, there should be. That could never happen here, as it would lead to his immediate removal and trigger an election on a vote of no confidence.
Best wishes, Pete.
I think Honor, Intelligence, and Dignity should count, too. And that wonderful line from the TinMan, “if I only had a brain…”
Sadly those so-called ‘laws’ are vague and he has a wealth of political hack judges on his side….I agree these types of self-enrichment by a sitting president should be outlawed. chuq
I think he would look lovely with his face pasted on Mr. Rushmore: trouble is, you’d need to have a serous amount of glue to keep his head up there. What you do with the rest of the body, I don’t care.
I don’t know what sickens me the most, him trying to start six world wars at once, or turning the WhiteHouse into a Promotional Blanket for his wonderfulness. I just do not understand how he is allowed to pull this crap without being booted out of office…
For me I find it disgusting that he spends all his time berating opponents and self-enrichment. Time to change that. chuq
Personally I am thinking that the Statue of Liberty has outlived her use and ought to be crated up and sent back to France now. Her very presence is capable of telling migrants it is alright to come to the United States.. which, for now, is not true any longer according to all the reports I have been hearing. Get rid of the temptation is what I say.
Or the US could go back to being the beacon of hope in the world….chuq
