Another week and another clown show of totally stupid policies and programs….
The beautiful Rose Garden is no more replaced with a parking lot with cabana style tables and umbrellas.
To extend the imperial White House Donny has plans for a 90,000 square foot ballroom with lots of gold and little fat cherubs in adornment….and the gold does not stop there….Donny is adorning the White House with more and more gold….gold everywhere….
President Donald Trump’s desire to turn the Oval Office into a lookalike of the Palace of Versailles, Mar-a-Lago, Saddam’s palace, or all three, is showing no signs of slowing down.
Photos taken over the past month show that Trump, 79, has found even more places to add gaudy accents, including gold-plated moldings and designs on the room’s doors, bookcases, and above its fireplace.
The WH is starting to look like an imperial palace the very idea that Donny has wanted all his miserable life.
The Trump group is recruiting for the ICE (spelled Gestapo) will take teenagers…..
“We’re taking father/son bonding to a whole new level.”
That’s how the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday told social media users that it is lifting age limits for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) applicants—evidence, critics said, of the Trump administration’s desperation to fill the ranks of federal agencies tasked with carrying out its cruel and illegal anti-immigrant policies.
In a move reminiscent of how the U.S. military attempted to stem flagging enlistment during the George W. Bush administration’s so-called War on Terror by lowering recruitment standards to welcome felons, gang members, white supremacists, and high school dropouts, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Wednesday that “we are ENDING the age cap for ICE law enforcement.”
Approved applicants will be joining an agency rife with human rights and legal abuses as it scrambles to satisfy alleged ICE arrest quotas and President Donald Trump’s desire to carry out the biggest mass deportation campaign in the nation’s history—a campaign of kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment and expulsion of innocent people, family separation, concentration camps, terrorization of American communities, alleged torture and sexual crimes, and many other outrages.

To try and rig the election in his favor Donny has ordered a new census 5 years ahead of time….
President Trump appears to be gearing up for another census battle, though he’s set to be out of office by 2030, when the next official US census is scheduled.
- “I have instructed our Department of Commerce to immediately begin work on a new and highly accurate CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Thursday. “People who are in our Country illegally WILL NOT BE COUNTED IN THE CENSUS.”
It’s not clear whether Trump was referring to the 2030 census or a separate count that would be conducted earlier, NPR reports. The 14th Amendment requires the “whole number of persons in each state” to be counted to determine how House seats and Electoral College votes are apportioned. It also helps determine how federal funds are distributed.
During Trump’s first term, which overlapped with the 2020 census, the Supreme Court blocked his effort to add a question about citizenship. Trump’s Thursday post came amid Texas’ battle over redistricting, reports CNBC. Earlier this week, Trump said Republicans are “entitled” to five more US House seats from the state.
Will SCOTUS allow this breach in protocol?
My guess is that it is a good possibility.
Then there is that moron in the chair of head of war, Hogsbreath…..and his feelings about women….
The man who oversees the nation’s military reposted a video about a Christian nationalist church that included various pastors saying women should no longer be allowed to vote. The extraordinary repost on X from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, made Thursday night, illustrates his deep and personal connection to a Christian nationalist pastor with extreme views on the role of religion and women, per the AP. In the post, Hegseth commented on an almost seven-minute-long report by CNN examining Doug Wilson, co-founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, or CREC. The report featured a pastor from Wilson’s church advocating the repeal of women’s right to vote from the Constitution, and another pastor saying that in his ideal world, people would vote as households. It also featured a female congregant saying that she submits to her husband.
“All of Christ for All of Life,” Hegseth wrote in his post that accompanied the video. Hegseth’s post had received more than 13,000 likes and 2,000 shares on X as of Saturday morning. Some users agreed with the pastors in the video, while others expressed alarm at the defense secretary promoting Christian nationalist ideas. Doug Pagitt, pastor and executive director of the progressive evangelical organization Vote Common Good, said the ideas in the video are views that “small fringes of Christians keep” and said it was “very disturbing” that Hegseth would amplify them.
Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said on Friday that Hegseth is “a proud member of a church” that’s affiliated with CREC and that he “very much appreciates many of Mr. Wilson’s writings and teachings.” In May, Hegseth invited his personal pastor, Brooks Potteiger, to the Pentagon to lead the first of several Christian prayer services that Hegseth has held inside the government building during working hours. Defense Department employees and service members said they received invitations to the event in their government emails. “I’d like to see the nation be a Christian nation, and I’d like to see the world be a Christian world,” Wilson said in the CNN report.
What a disturbing POS….submit? This douche bag is trying to take us back to the Middle Ages….as far as I am concerned he can take his religion and shove it up his ass.
After that last bit I feel dirty and in need of a shower….but that is the way I feel about everything around Donny and his Merry Band of Morons.
Try to have a great Summer Sunday and as always….Be Well and Be Safe….
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
News this week that Dean cain, the actor who played Superman on TV has joined ICE as an agent. Looks like a good job for a failed actor I suppose. All the golden bling Trump is adding to the Oval Office and doors and fireplaces seems to have been inspied by seeing the offices where Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus, once met Putin.

Best wishes, Pete.
Cain needs a job since most of his movies were panned…..Donny is trying to turn the WH into Versailles….an imperial palace….chuq
Every day in every way the government keeps getting increasingly stupid, even more extremist.
Dandy Don doesn’t have the legal authority to order a new census. Nor does he have the legal authority to alter the way the census is conducted. Period. Not that this seems to make much difference to those sniveling cowards in Congress. He doesn’t have the legal authority to order tariffs either, by law only the Congress does. They don’t care about that, either.He doesn’t have the legal authority to withhold funds that were allocated by law by the US Congress. And they don’t seem to care about that, either. The form of government we have only works if all three branches of the government fully exercise their rights and responsibilities. And right now we have a Congress that utterly abandoned their oaths of office and have turned over complete control of the country to an elderly man who is suffering from dementia, paranoia and delusions.
Legal authority means nothing any more….Donny has SCOTUS watching his back for him….Congress is as useless as used TP….will this streak come to end? From where I sit 2026 may hold thew answer…..chuq
Yes, 2026 is the first real chance we have at turning this around. The way thigs look right now the Dems have a good chance of taking back the senate and the house in the elections.
WE can hope they do not screw it up as they have been known to do in the past. chuq
Will SCOTUS allow this breach in protocol? Based on their recent decisions, there’s little doubt.
Apparently “God” saved Hegseth from his drunkenness so now he wants to pay “Him” back by pushing Christian Nationalism. 🤮
THat sucks…he is not paid to be a missionary….national defense should be his only concern or get out and become a perverted youth pastor. chuq
😄❗ He’d have a field day!
Nan his field day has just begun in DC chuq
