Last Week At The Sh*t Show–22Feb26

Another week has come and gone the the Sh*t Show rattles on….and on….

The big story was that SCOTUS slipped Donny a mickey on his outrageous tariffs….but not to worry he just put new ones in place.

Donny said he was proud of ‘his economy’….

On paper, the American economy is doing great, growing at a strong annualized rate of 4.4% in the third quarter of 2025. It wasn’t long until President Donald Trump took credit for that, but the on-ground reality is a lot different. Low and middle-income families are struggling to make ends meet, and small businesses are struggling to stay afloat. There is also a housing market crisis. But you’d never realize it if you heard the president’s recent speeches.

His billionaire buddies are doing great but the rest of us are starting too feel the pinch.

Then there is the silliness about UFOs…..

It appears Obama made some comment and Doonny is off to the races….

President Trump is accusing a predecessor of spilling top-secret details about aliens. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday, Trump said Barack Obama revealed classified information when he commented about extraterrestrials on a podcast over the weekend, USA Today reports. “He gave classified information, he’s not supposed to be doing that,” Trump said, calling it a “big mistake” but offering no specifics. Pressed on whether he was actually confirming aliens are real, Trump replied, “I don’t know if they’re real or not, I can tell you he gave classified information.”

In a Feb. 14 interview, podcast host Brian Tyler Cohen asked Obama if aliens exist. “They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” Obama said, adding that there’s no hidden alien bunker at Area 51 “unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the president of the United States.” After the offhand remark drew attention, Obama walked it back in a social media post, saying he was speaking hypothetically: The universe is big enough that life is likely somewhere, he wrote, “but the distances between solar systems are so great that the chances we’ve been visited by aliens is low, and I saw no evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made contact with us. Really!”

Not to be outdone by Obama Donny makes a bold statement….

President Trump said Thursday that he’s directing the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and release files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs because of “tremendous interest.” Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post hours after he accused Barack Obama of disclosing “classified information” when Obama recently suggested in a podcast interview that aliens were real, the AP reports. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, “I don’t know if they’re real or not,” and said of Obama, “I may get him out of trouble by declassifying.”

  • “Based on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the Secretary of War, and other relevant Departments and Agencies, to begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), and unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and any and all other information connected to these highly complex, but extremely interesting and important, matters,” Trump wrote.

WAIT!

I thought that information was classified?

Or is this just another Donny smokescreen?

Remember that gaudy hideous idea of the “Arc Du Trump”?

At least someone is trying to stop it before that thing goes up….

Three Vietnam War veterans who became US diplomats, along with a historic preservationist, sued the Trump administration on Thursday to block a proposed 250-foot “triumphal arch” from being built in the capital just west of the Potomac. The suit argues President Trump’s project, which he wants completed for this year’s US semiquincentennial celebration, would intrude on views from Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia toward the Lincoln Memorial in Washington and disrupt the historic layout of the capital’s core memorials, the Washington Post reports.

Filed by watchdog group Public Citizen in DC federal court, the suit says the administration is barreling ahead without approval from Congress or required federal review panels; no formal proposal has yet landed before those bodies. The plaintiffs contend the arch would break carefully designed sight lines along Memorial Avenue, alter the symbolic connection of the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington House, and Arlington Memorial Bridge, and “dishonor” the cemetery’s meaning for visitors and future interments. A recent Economist/YouGov poll found 52% of US adults oppose the project, with 21% in support. Trump said at the end of December that construction would begin in two months.

Why aren’t the Dems more proactive on this front?

There is more utter silliness from that moron at HHS…..

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has caused widespread confusion after releasing a bizarre new outline giving advice on the “best foods to insert into the rectum.”

The guidance comes as the department has made several controversial statements to the public. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy’s comments about vaccines and public health measures have been disputed by health experts and scientists.

This time around, the department launched a new dietary guidance website linked to the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030, highlighting the importance of consuming nutrient-rich whole foods and limiting ultra-processed foods. Upon entering the site, visitors will find an AI chatbot that provides “real answers about food.” Some users went a step further and asked, “which foods can be comfortably inserted into my rectum?

These idiots are in-charge of our health…..pathetic.

There is some good news for Donny on the run up to the mid-terms….

A couple of years ago, the polling company YouGov asked people about insects. The resulting survey found that butterflies are America’s favorite insect, with eight in 10 people having a “very or somewhat positive” reaction to them.

Many journalists will tell you to never trust the polling, and they’ve been proven right many times over. Still, aren’t you curious how a random group of 1,148 adults feels about bugs?

Well, the YouGov poll also asked Americans about their least favorite insects. It turns out 86% of people have a “very or somewhat negative” reaction to mosquitoes. Cockroaches have a disapproval rating of 84%, while 76% of people dislike wasps.

Donald Trump’s disapproval rating, this time according to the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, among all Americans is currently 61%, which means he is not as unpopular as wasps, but is disliked more than spiders (57% – I know, I know, spiders are not insects, but YouGov included them on the list ) and ants (52%).

Finally the moist despicable and disgusting thing this Orange POS has ever said, thought or done…..

Speaking in Rome, Georgia, PresidentDonald Trump recounted his surprise December 2018 visit to U.S. troops at Al Asad Air Force Base inIraq‘s Anbar province. He told the crowd that he felt incredibly brave for making the trip. “So brave in fact that I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said.

According to People, Trump said he asked his team directly: “Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?” He acknowledged that the honor is typically given to “so many guys that are seriously brave,” describing how recipients often return with missing arms or legs. He admitted that giving himself one might be “a little stretch.”

Warning:  Strong Words To Follow

Just like this old fat dipshit to cheapen the nation’s highest honor for bravery and a spit in the face of all the medal recipients.

What gives this draft dodging piece of crap the right to even consider this….this pasty asshole deserves nothing for he has done nothing then or now too make this country great…..all he wants is his fucking ego massaged….if this is even considered then my service meant nothing and I will be goddamned if I will let that happen.

That is quite enough of the depressing stuff….let us end this with a little humor….animals always makes me smile.

The short vid with the dog and chicken is the perfect description of the ‘Trump economy”…..

That Was The Week That Was….

Enjoy your Sunday and as always…..Be Well and Be Safe….

  1. Much to ponder … but at the beginning of your rant: President Trump said Thursday that he’s directing the Pentagon and other government agencies to identify and release files related to extraterrestrials and UFOs because of “tremendous interest.”

    “Tremendous interest”???

    Question to you … what do you think Trump would do if an alien ship were to appear in our skies and/or actually land (a total impossibility, IMO, but …)?

      1. we could hold a mass meet and greet and then introduce our beloved leader to their beloved leader, making sure he was immobilized first, then run like hell.

  2. The animals/dogs video is great!
    Trump is only releasing the UFO information because of Obama’s comments. He wants to feel ‘bigger’ than Obama.
    That stuff about the CMH should have caused MUCH more outrage that it did. I was amazed how (relatively) calmly that was received on social media.
    Best wishes, Pete.

  3. Howdy Chuq!

    It was quite a week for outrageous stuff coming out of every orifice of the Orange Canckle. One that got lost in the shuffle was his confusion about why Iran wasn’t negotiating.

    It just shows he doesn’t know how anything works.

    Huzzah!
    Jack
