Well, here we go again. Another day and another amazingly true story in the continuing saga of King Donald goes to Alaska. Last time, as you remember. Karoline unwed mother Leavitt to Beaver Barbie spokesmodel. Said the King was going to Alaska for a “Listening exercise.” Yesterday, all that changed. Now Donald is Ming the Merciless! And he’s going to Alaska to pound his fist on the table and huff and puff. And Vladimir had better listen if he knows what’s good for him. Or King Donald will pound his fist on the table and huff and puff some more. I wonder how you say TACO in Russian?
The fourth story in as many days. A liar always over embellishes their story, trying to over convince you it is true. Tuesday, he’s just listening. Wednesday, he’s thunder and lightning. Old Vlad had better look out! The King is constipated with ideas and Vlad had better listen! President Zelensky won’t be there, and the Ukrainians won’t be there, and they won’t accept negotiations where they aren’t present. So, this spectacle is for you, my American friends. Roar! He’s tough, and he’s mean! He’s full of it and he’s bluffing!
The king’s military takeover of Washington D.C. has already shown results. Federal Agents struck by sub sandwiches and or other food products are down by 100%. Federal prosecutor for the District of Columbia and former Fox News propagandist Jeanie Pirro says the sandwich attacker will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Just as soon as they can hire some lawyers and investigators. It seems nobody wants to work there anymore! They fear being forced to mangle cases and ruin their careers. And they also fear someday there might sort of Nuremberg style hearings, and they will all go to jail.
MS. Pirro reminds me, we had a kid back in high school gym class once, with that same low voice. I think his name was Jim or Gene Pirro. She reminds me of him a lot, without the Botox of course. The same deep voice and those same beady little eyes. That same vindictive tone and sneer. I wonder if old Jim could be her brother? It seems nobody wants to work for the federal government anymore. The VA can’t find any doctors and the Justice Department can find any lawyers.
The king will rewrite history in the Smithsonian Museums. The Wright Brothers flew at Kitty Hawk with the aid of Thaddeus Trump, Great Grandfather of our king. And in the African American Museum, of course. Happy Negros sang joyously in the fields. Fully content and proud to be Americans. Living contented lives where everyone had a job and unemployment was unheard of! The Vietnam War memorial is Closed for renovation. Bone spurs! The silent killer! A deadly threat to good health!
It’s vital in all fascist governments to control the public narrative. To hear the Nazis tell it, Poland was poised to attack at any moment and Germany was just protecting herself. We had to attack Saddam, he was building a bomb and had chemical weapons that he could deliver in forty-five minutes and had these dangerous aluminum tubes! Stalin assured the Russian people NATO was just waiting for the right opportunity to attack! Kim Jong Un tells his people the same thing. Our king doesn’t know the difference between making history and making up history.
The Kennedy Center honors! A country singer, a ham actor, a one hit wonder and KISS. I bet you didn’t have that one on your bingo card. Also, a famous English actor no one has ever heard of. In his most famous role in a British sitcom no one in this country has ever watched. Sure, let’s honor them! But even a Broadway actor appears as a theatrical giant next to a three-chord rock and roll novelty act spitting fake blood on the stage. (Brother! That’s art!)
Will the Kennedy Center be honoring the original Kiss or the replacements? Gene Simmons and some guys who showed up after the fire was long gone. If we are going to honor Kiss, what about the Village People? What about Chuck Norris or action movie giants like Stephen Segal? You know, the real greats of Hollywood. Why not Spinal Tap? It’s not their fault that Rob Reiner is woke. It seems the connecting thread is they are all in their eighties or damn close and were popular in the 1970s. Who else do we know who is in their eighties?
Meanwhile; show us all where reality touched you! The thirty-year bond auction went poorly, and yields are beginning to spike. Just like jobs at the VA and the Justice department, fewer investors are interested in purchasing US debt. They see the writing on the wall. They see what the tariffs are going to do. They see they will remove 15 to 40% of consumer spending power from the economy. They see what is written on the wind.
A Fascist government busy taking away rights and busy telling lies. The king removed the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics because the king didn’t like the numbers. So, the king will appoint someone new. There, that’ll fix it! An entire government made up of lies and fabrications. Stunts and horror shows. All to make the king feel better about himself. The mad king holed up inside of a soap bubble and isolated from the truth.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics report on final demand (economic activity) has been down for five straight months. Lower than any time in 2024. Prices are going up and demand is going down. Commodity prices are near catastrophic levels. The US index of consumer sentiment is up this month to 61.70 but down from 66.40 one year ago.
“But you can’t make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can’t last.”
― Ray Bradbury
“There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. ”
― George Orwell
Thank you for reading and supporting “This Carbon-Based Life” It only hurts when I laugh. So, it hurts all the time. As laughter is my method for avoiding the truth.
