This Carbon Based Life

By David Glenn Cox

The American press is filled with piss and vinegar and righteous outrage and indignation, announcing a boycott of the White House press pool. “God Bless America! Land that I love!” Standing on their First Amendment rights, they shout at the White House. “This outrage will not stand!” It should have been done long ago. But the media had never felt their wings being clipped so before. Which is absolute nonsense and total garbage.

The American broadcast media doesn’t give a damn about free speech or a free press. They will gladly regurgitate and embellish Mr. Trump’s lies every day, without fail. “Mr. Trump promises a $5,000 check if Republicans keep their majorities in the House and Senate. With nice follow-up stories, “How will Mr. Trump provide you with that check? Interviewing Little (Mike) Johnson and Treasury Secretary Bessent adding in that they’re ready to play ball with the president to get those checks coming. It’s just another example of the media’s complete inability to tell the truth. Even at gunpoint; they just can’t tell you the truth.

“Mr. Trump offered today to pull Tutti Fruiti ice cream from out of his butt hole!” Now, currently the White House press pool is made up of the five major networks. Each day, one network supplies the cameraman and the camera. Each network gets FREE White House press footage, four out of every five days. But thanks to the emperor’s new edict, each network must fill in those empty spaces and will only get free footage every two days. A 20% increase in each network’s costs. This outrage will not stand!

Those press pool camera operators don’t just sit around the office playing Solitaire and waiting their turn in the barrel. The boss has them doing other jobs and now the boss will have to hire (Gulp) more people to do those same jobs. There is a line in the sand drawn by the networks, and it involves their payroll. “I’ve had all I can stand and I can’t stands no more!” It’s a classic case of a media willingly giving their press rights away only to discover that they aren’t their rights anymore.

It would be easy enough to just put up a green screen with an image of the White House on it and report that Mr. Trump told the following lies today. But damn it all, they want their free stuff again! Holy shit! This professional liar is starting to cost us real money…Let’s boycott, until we get all our free stuff back!

As the criticism of Mr. Trump’s bullshit ballroom grew. Mr. Trump announced there will also be a security center in the basement. As criticism of Mr. Trump’s Dicktory Arch rises. Mr. Trump announces it will also be a military command post with a sniper’s nest inside. What? Do you mean to say that you don’t believe it? All the networks are reporting it as true, it must be true! After all, they’re the champions of the First Amendment!

As I mentioned yesterday, Chinese Premier Xi is coming to America to bitch slap Donald Trump and tell him to get the hell out of Iran before China gets a bad attitude about it. The media tells you this fairy story about the summit being focused on AI and trade. Mr. Trump has made it abundantly clear that he’s moving forward with AI whether you or I or anyone else likes it. The Chinese are going to do likewise, searching for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But all is not well in the swell electronic hell.

Oracle is building a fourteen acre data center in Texas. Oracle has borrowed eighteen billion dollars to build it. The bonds they’ve used to obtain the construction funds are now trading at .89 cents on the dollar. That makes the banks sort of nervous. What if we don’t find any gold? Texas governor Gregg Bubba Abbott steps in and pauses new data center construction permits. Because he cares about you! He really does.

 He knows the public is worried about AI! He knows the Republicans are facing a buzzsaw in November. He only wants to make sure that YOU and Oracle get a fair shake. Abbott is limiting Oracle’s potential competition. If some dipshit like me can figure that out. Why can’t the paid media? Oh, they can, but they just don’t want to. Don’t rock the boat and don’t make the billionaires mad at us. Don’t report the news that will only upset people. Don’t tell them about the coming fuel shortage. Don’t tell them the Chinese are hopping mad over Iran. Don’t tell them that Mr. Trump sent advisors to our very good allies in Saudi Arabia, but no guns or bullets. You’re on your own fellas! TACO is back!

Don’t tell the Saudis why General Chicken hawk doesn’t want to get involved in their war with the Houthis in Yemen. If Mr. Trump were to get involved, it could expand his war with Iran ever further, and possibly close the Red Sea all together. The US would be forced to deploy even more aircraft carriers for even longer deployments. Straining the front, straining the Navy, straining the arsenal and the budget to the breaking point. You boys settle your own war. General Chicken Hawk has his hands full.

Mr. Trump announces to the public that he is considering even more devastating strikes on Iran. But he’s only considering it. The meat puppet media will report it as Donald Trump, the strong and brave! He ain’t afraid of nothing! He’s going to hit them so hard! He can do or say anything! “Look! Up in the sky! It’s a turd! Who’s insane! It’s super Trump.” Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive!” They won’t ever dare to tell you that Donald Trump has reached the end of his tether.

Donald Trump’s polling numbers are the worst ever in the recorded history of the Untied Snakes. But the media might only mention it in passing, but will never focus on Mr. Trump’s unpopularity solely. The farmers are screaming bloody murder with $6.50 diesel fuel with the harvest approaching. The administration answers, “We don’t need any Canadian potash. When we can buy it from Vladimir Putin’s best buddy in Belarus. Do you need it right away? It’ll probably take around a year or so to get it set up.

Mr. Trump’s ill-advised and poorly planned war with Iran is the largest single screw up in all American history. Its magnitude is monumental and its effects will be felt for generations (If there are any) Even three quarters of Fox News viewers consider it a mistake. Little do they suspect what is coming next. Mr. Trump is far out on a limb with a saw. You can guess what comes next. Iran’s largest customer for their oil is China. And China is not getting their Iranian oil. But sure, they’re coming to town to talk about AI and trade. Duh, it’s harvest time in China too!

“Machines are created making it possible to manufacture more in an hour than used to be manufactured in a month; more is produced by the labor of one man than was formerly produced by the labor of a thousand men; fertilizers are available whereby an acre of land can be made to produce from two to three or even four times what it formerly produced; various other inventions and scientific achievements which God has seen fit to disclose to man from time to time make their appearance; but instead of bringing prosperity, ease and comfort, they have meant unemployment; they have meant idleness; they have meant starvation; they have meant pestilence; whereas they should have meant that hours of labor were shortened, that toil was decreased, that more people would be able to consume, that they would have time for pleasure, time for recreation—in fact, everything that could have been done by science and invention and wealth and progress in this country should have been shared among the people. . .” ― Huey Long,
