Pushers

As if we don't have enough to worry about these days from Trump and Vance and Musk, there's now another obvious threat to our national well-being.

Shamelessly loitering in front of grocery stores all across America, these brazen dealers wear green sashes and bring extra muscle along, more commonly known as their parents.

They traffic Thin Mints and Samoas, and few can say no to them, even though they stand four feet six inches tall.

Beat Me to It

Get this.

In its efforts to purge DEI content lickety-split, the Defense Department has flagged over 26,000 images for deletion across every military branch. Women and minorities are the main targets of the directive to obliterate photos and online posts that highlight diversity efforts.

Here's the incredible bit. The AP reports that some photos seem to have been flagged because their file included the word "gay." The result? An image of the Enola Gay, the B-29 bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan, is on the chopping block.

If I'd had a little more time, I would've predicted this as the slapstick outcome of the DEI witch hunt. I would've been kidding.

But Pete Hegseth has his people working so hard on this mission-critical task that they made the farce real before I could make it a joke. And I resent that.

During his painfully long remarks before a joint session of Congress, Trump peddled so many brazen falsehoods that it was difficult to keep up with them all.

Guess I Wasn't Really Awake

This morning I received an email from eBay whose subject line read "Your closet is calling, Leslie."

It turned out the company wants me to buy clothes. But it's a sign of the times that I first thought eBay was sending emergency instructions to queer people.

The "Meeting"

Image:  Facebook


Ukrainians have spent three terrifying and bloody years holding off invading Russian forces.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if some war-weary Ukrainians are clamoring today to open a second front:  against us. That's one possible result of  their president's humiliation in the Oval Office yesterday by a pair of tag-team wrestlers, Donald "The Impotent" Trump and Lambykins Vance.
