No bad dogs

Posted on June 18, 2026June 18, 2026 by Mike 1 Comment

MEMPHIS, TN — A Memphis man learned the hard way this week that not every backyard appliance is part of the city’s unofficial “take what you can carry” rewards program.

Police say 41-year-old Leonard “Lil Riblet” Barksdale allegedly hopped a privacy fence in Southeast Memphis around 2:13 AM after spotting what he reportedly described as:

“a lightly supervised gas grill.”

According to neighbors, Lil Riblet moved through the backyard “with the confidence of a man who’s never once considered consequences.”

That confidence lasted approximately four seconds.

Because waiting in the yard was Memphiszilla…

a pit bull described by witnesses as:

“Built like a refrigerator with childhood trauma.”

Authorities say the dog immediately activated what experts are now calling:

“The Find Out Phase.”

Neighbors reported hearing screaming so intense one woman thought somebody was auditioning for a gospel solo three streets over.

One resident said:

“That man hit notes that could remove wallpaper.”

Police say Lil Riblet attempted multiple escape strategies, including:

Climbing a trampoline

Throwing a lawn chair as a peace offering

Yelling “BAD DOG” in a voice cracking like a middle school clarinet

And at one point allegedly trying to negotiate: “Bro please… I don’t even need the grill anymore.”

But Memphiszilla was reportedly unmoved.

Investigators say the suspect eventually climbed onto a patio table and called 911 HIMSELF while the dog circled below like a furry tax collector.

Dispatchers reportedly struggled to understand him because he was simultaneously crying, wheezing, and screaming:

“HE GOT MY SLIDES!”

When officers arrived, they found Lil Riblet apologizing directly to Jesus.

I won’t even speculate on what that jibber-jabber about his “slides” might be all about. In any event, TH’s closer is priceless:

In Memphis, you might steal somebody’s grill…

…but sometimes the grill comes with teeth.

Heh. Effing BRILLIANT, start to finish. Yes, there’s a pic of the shredded spook included, which is sure to make your day no matter how rotten a mood you’re in.

“Reparations”

Posted on June 12, 2026June 12, 2026 by Mike 2 Comments

Or, as it is more commonly known in law-enforcement circles, extortion.

Dem lawmaker bizarrely claims black Americans will stop voting if they don’t get reparations

Oh no. No, not that. Please, I’m begging here.

Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., said during an interview on Sunday that Black Americans would stop voting if they aren’t given reparations.

Lee slammed President Donald Trump’s “anti-weaponization fund,” and argued, “They are playing psychological warfare with us.”

“And that’s what they do,” she continued. “Because, again, they’re trying to disenfranchise you. Because if you believe that you’re never going to get reparations from this system, then you tap out, and you don’t just tap out of the conversation, you tap out of the system. You don’t want to vote anymore. You don’t participate anymore.”

Hey, wait a minnit here. Didn’t you just say that nigger sooperdoopergenii would be disenfranchising themselves? Or is it dat ol’ Debbil Wyte Maing who’s gonna do it? I’m all confused now. Maybe THAT’S the point…?

Gee whiz, a “mass exodus of black Americans to Africa”? Please, NO, anything but that! We’ll quadruple your monthly welfare bribe-out; give all of you a brand-new Cad-O-Lack to put up on cinderblocks out front of your tarpaper shack; free jumbo-size bags of BBQ pork rinds for all Cullud Peepuhs, etc. Just pleasepleasepleasePLEEAAASSSSE don’t go back to De Muthalan’ on us, Br’er Fox!

No “Show more…” workaround, because who gives a fuck what that yammerhead says. Ace spells it out:

Well, as they say, good. There is a certain sector of the black population, the Afro-Marxist BlacKKK, that is filled with violent racism and antisocial pathology and nigh-constant racial incitement and hoaxes and implacable hatred and seething resentment that can never be appeased, and I will gladly support them making their way to the Utopia (that is totally real) where they’ll all be successful now that they’re free of the White Oppression which seriously you guys is the only thing holding them back.

I look forward to future news of the technologically-advanced Super-Nation of Wakanda being finally made a reality.

So do I, buddy. So do I.

Moar stupid “liberal” tricks

It’s not that they don’t know anything. Its that so much of what they think they know…isn’t so.

First, you had shitlib sooperdoopergenius and all-round assclown Rahm Hakeem Abdullah Mohammed Emmanuel Jeffries whinging about how Trump isn’t a real fan of the basketball Knickerbockers, despite The Donald’s having been attending Knicks games at the MSG with various celebrity and/or hot-babe guests for about, oh, thirty-forty years or thereabouts, which assorted people proceeded to confirm via scads of photographic evidence in support of.

And then Kathy Hoccchhhptui stepped in, with one of the most spectacular self-beclownings of all time. To wit:

What’s the point of even questioning Trump’s fandom? It’s stupid, and Democrats only embarrass themselves when they try. Heck, it was just a couple of weeks ago that Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) set this same trap for herself when Trump’s plans to attend the game were first made public. She posed what she thought was a clever trivia challenge. “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 championship team and see how he does,” Hochul said.

Just one leeeeetle problem wid dat, Madame Goobernator. To wit ag’in:

The Knicks didn’t win the championship in 1993. Their last title came in 1973. Hochul’s gotcha question exposed a gap in her own knowledge of the franchise she was pretending to defend.

Heh. What a maroon. Not to worry though, Kath, thanks for playing; as a consolation prize, you’ll be receiving a copy of the home version of our game and this lovely oven mitt with your initials hand-stitched on the back.

Late show hosts, then and now

Posted on May 24, 2026 by Mike

Lakeside Joe runs down the differences.

If you watch re-runs of Johnny Carson, one thing will stand out the most, and it’s that Carson had the unique ability to deliver jokes in a casual, midwestern-everyman tone; like chatting with the audience over a drink. He made it feel effortless and inclusive, as if he was one of them poking fun at the day’s absurdities (kind of like we do with snark on social media – everyone’s fair game) He recovered from weak jokes by leaning into them self-deprecatingly, which often got bigger laughs.

When Carson did his final show, one in five Americans were watching. Colbert’s final audience was a minor fraction of that. The numbers tell the whole story of what late night became:

Then: When Johnny Carson signed off in 1992, it’s been estimated that 55 million Americans watched – out of about 250 million. More than one in five.

Now: Stephen Colbert’s final Late Show drew 6.7 million – out of roughly 342 million. Under 2%.

The shift: same chair, a far bigger country, a fraction of the audience.

The reason: Carson made the whole country laugh; Colbert made half the country the butt of his ‘jokes’. Late night didn’t die of natural causes. It chose a side, aimed nine of every ten jokes at that side’s enemies, and then acted shocked when half the country stopped watching. Carson understood he was a guest in everyone’s living room. His successors decided the living room needed a lecture. Carson hosted an entire country. Colbert played ‘host’ to a minority who’s clubhouse was closed to anyone with half a brain.

That’s about the size of it, yeah. If the smarmy gasbag Colbert was even half as smart as he seems to think he is, you’d think he woulda realized that alienating half your audience from your very first night might not be such a hot idea. Which, hate to have to hip all you shitlib Supergenii!™ and all, actually has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with whether or not Trump can “take a joke,” by the by.

Yet another of those occasions when, after the initial flush of hearty approbation, one can only shake one’s head ruefuly and softly mutter, “What the hell took ya so long, anyhow?“

Remember back in March when Marxist influencer Hasan Piker, members of Code Pink, and other commies went to Cuba to essentially back up the regime, denounce Donald Trump and the United States, and make a mockery of the lives of the Cuban people? Well, it looks like they Trump administration isn’t letting that go lightly.

Fox New Digital is reporting that the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued administrative subpoenas to Piker and Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of Code Pink. According to Fox, it’s “part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime.”

If you’ll recall, Piker and Benjamin were some of the faces of the group “Nuestra América Convoy,” mostly communist sympathizers who traveled to Cuba from multiple countries. They claimed they were there to bring humanitarian aid and investigate how U.S. sanctions and blockades were impacting the people of the country, but they spent their time cozying up with the Cuban regime and left the island nation shouting the regime’s propagandic talking points.

While in Cuba, the group also stayed in a five-star hotel with power and held a concert (spoiler alert: it wasn’t acoustic) while much of the country suffered a blackout. They wined and dined at the hotel, while many people in the country dig through garbage to find food. They also took vehicle tours through the streets of Havana, as if they were on some sort of poverty porn safari tour and left claiming the people were out in the streets, having a good time.

Anyway, these subpoenas are called “Requests for Information,” and they seek to find out more about the financial, logistical, and communications information involved in planning the trip to determine if they violated any of the many U.S. sanctions on Cuba, including potentially unlicensed travel-related transactions, financing, logistics, delivery of goods, or contacts with sanctioned Cuban entities/government personnel.

Fox reported earlier on Saturday that the Justice and Treasury Departments are “investigating U.S. nonprofits and activist groups for allegedly coordinating lobbying, messaging, fundraising, delegations, and political organizing efforts with Cuban government officials as part of a possible foreign influence campaign operating inside the United States.”

According to Fox, 145 U.S. organizations that report around $1 billion in combined revenue “are mobilizing in support of the Cuban government and the Communist Party of Cuba.

Meh, it’ll do for starters, I suppose. But really, the heck with all that Subpoenas-But-Not-QUITE-Subpoenas ducking and diving, shucking and jiving, &c; instead, lock the rotten, traitorous bastards up and throw away the stinking key—at least until we can get the 20-trapdoors-no-waiting factory-style-execution gallows assembled; the stairs to the main platform built and bolted to the side; and the nooses all properly knotted.

In fact, we probably oughta consider having somebody with a HUUUGE assembly line like, say, Ford or GM, start cranking said mass-hanging platforms out and getting them distributed to every urban zone, college town, and other shitlib enclaves in the nation most ricky-tick, so’s we can beat the rush and not fall behind.

The art of NO deal

Hate to have to say it, but Trump is an idiot, and he’s screwing the pooch by the numbers.

Trump: No Need to Rush Anything With Iran

Frankly, I would rather see action rather than talk

I would like to see oil prices and inflation back down

And I am sick and tired of Iran poking us in the eye on the world stage, and making it look like we’re desperate for some sort…

Here’s the ugly truth of the matter, via Lakeside Joe.

That penultimate line—“The regime can only be stopped by force” et al—assumes something not so far in evidence, namely that “At some point, Trump will be convinced of this reality.” It’s my considered opinion that Trump, being at heart a basically decent sort who derives no pleasure from killing people in job lots, would vastly prefer to make some kind of deal with the Mullah regime, even though any deal the howling Western infidel makes with the Mullahs won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

Which in turn means that Trump, having an entirely unrealistic view of the opponents he is confronting—ie, a far too charitable one regarding their willingness to deal fairly and honestly with “the Great Satan,” among other things—should never have dragged us into the Iran quagmire in the first place. His Presidency will be regarded by future historians, if any, as a catastrophe, one this piss-poor excuse for a nation will be paying for for generations, possibly even centuries. Sorry, but IMO that’s the long and the short of it.

Update! Just got off the phone with my brother Jeff, who just minutes ago shelled out $1100.00 at a truck stop to fill up his Freightliner with diesel fuel, but won’t make anything close to that much this week. He says another month or so of losing money like this and he’ll be out of business, and the truck will be up for sale. No need to rush anything, eh, Donald? *spit*

It begins update! Jeff called back to tell me that a friend and co-worker of his just gave the company his notice and put his truck up for sale. He’s taken a job driving a dump truck, for just slightly more than minimum wage. For as long as THAT lasts, anyway. He says thanks a pantload, Donald!

The Pope of Woke.

Pope Leo’s pick to be bishop of West Virginia is a formerly undocumented immigrant who was smuggled into the U.S. in a car trunk.

Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala has called for Catholics to speak out against President Trump’s treatment of immigrants. https://t.co/mbCbdug0Fk

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost)

May 1, 2026

A response strong enough to make a Pope blush, had he even the tiniest smidgeon of fucking sense.

This was not a dreamer. Evelio originally came here from El Salvador illegally as a grown man in 1990. He had already been deported at least once before. Soon after his arrival, he was granted TPS because of the civil war back home. Eventually learned English and became a US citizen in 2006. His is a sympathetic case from a bygone era when most of America thought we could look the other way at such things given the

But we are not now in that era.

Our national debt is now over 1,000% higher than it was when Evelio first arrived. Illegal immigration has swelled over 300%. Whole industries have replaced the American-born family man with illegal aliens. The amount of school children who only speak Spanish has doubled since 1990. The median age of a first time home buyer in 1990 was 28-30, while today it is 41. It was twice as likely a 30-year old man would be married with children in 1990 compared to now.

Barely 2% of West Virginia is Hispanic. Barely 1% of the state speaks Spanish. This is a purely political appointment by a woke pope trying to shoehorn his open borders agenda into a state Trump has won by 40 points three times. There’s nothing prophetic here, but it’s all shamefully political. An open borders agenda the pope himself isn’t forced to abide by, because Vatican City has strict enforcement policies and walls. This is like if MSNBC picked offices in the church, all the while never allowing the illegals in Martha’s Vineyard where their primetime hosts spend their summers.
overall prosperous state of things.

I dunno, seems kind of petty and churlish for someone at the head of Saint Peter’s Holy Catholic Church.

Re-establishing the distinction between “exception” and “rule”

What fargin’ idjit put the fargin’ inmates in charge of the fargin’ asyum in the first fargin’ place, prithee tell?

Vermont pays $566K in damages, legal fees to Christian school it banned from all sports competitions for years
A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized Tuesday after the school was barred from athletics and academic competitions for two years

FIRST ON FOX: State education agencies in Vermont have paid over $566,000 in damages and legal fees to a Christian school that was banned from all sports and academic competitions for two years after its girls’ basketball team refused to compete against a trans athlete in 2023.

A settlement agreement following mediation was finalized on Tuesday that awarded the plaintiffs, including the Mid Vermont Christian School and its law firm Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), the $566,000.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Vermont Principals’ Association and the Vermont State Board of Education for a response.

The settlement comes after a years-long saga in which all the school’s sports teams, and even its academic teams, like spelling bee and mathletes, had to travel out of state to compete against other schools.

The academics-team ban sorta gives the underlying intention here away as being punitive, as opposed to reformatory or remedial. Also petty, spiteful, childish, and sooooo cheap.

But yeah, let’s just give shitlib-run states total control over, basically, EVERYFUCKINGTHING: activities,; interpersonal relationships; interests and avocations; entertainment choices; diets; careers; health care; family life; crime & punishment; you name it. Hey, what could go wrong, amIright?

The conflict dates back to an afternoon early in the 2023 school year at Mid Vermont Christian, when the school decided to forfeit a girls’ basketball postseason game against a team with a trans athlete.

Their Christian faith was more important to them than a game. But it was still a hard call, and it brought some tears.

“We were all in agreement that the right decision was to not compromise our beliefs and to withdraw, but the conversation with the players was the hardest,” Mid Vermont Christian girls’ basketball coach Chris Goodwin told Fox News Digital.

“Because you play a 20-game season, and you put in the work and the expectation is that you enter the postseason tournament with a shot to see how you’re going to do and to see how far you can get. So there were some teary eyes, and some sad faces, but in the end, they all really did understand that it was the right thing to do.”

Of course it was. For the state government, the local city council, the school board, and essentially every relevant authority to flout the will of We The People by…

Summarily rubbishing long-acknowledged standards identifying what does, and does NOT, constitute “male” and “female”
Playing up to a baying mob of degenerates, psychopaths, and violence-prone thugs via not merely tolerating their delusions and depravities, but by insisting that EVERYBODY ELSE must wholeheartedly endorse this mass mental infarction as well, or else face the unleashed wrath of the rabid jackal pack incited by their own conniving selves
Wantonly put young women at risk of serious physical harm by forcing them to compete in athletic events against generally taller, heavier, faster, stronger young males—scientifically and statistically proven to have bigger, denser bones; greater muscle mass and elasticity; more stamina, etc—thus in effect scrapping all those female-only sports teams, leagues, divisions, and organizations without reference to scientific fact, observable reality, fair play, or good old-fashioned common sense
Reordering entire communities so they might more closely comport with Left/liberal dogma, Wokester shibboleths, and transitory fads, further enabling said unasked-for, unwarranted, and unwelcome reordering via discarding/denouncing traditional intellectual, moral, religious, and/or legal strictures without ever offering their sane, sensible opponents so much as a token public hearing in which they might effectively argue their position
Prioritizing the arbitrary wants (NOT needs) of a statistically-barely-existent fringe of warped freaky-deaks over the safety, well-being, and clearly expressed will of the vast majority of well-adjusted, peaceable, Normal Vermonters

…civil authority at every level breaks faith, both implicitly and explicitly, with those they (mis)rule. I daresay our Founding Fathers would have wasted not an instant quibbling amongst themselves over what the response to such a heinous breach of trust and honor ought to be. Not only would they have known right away what needed to be done, they’d have gone right ahead and done it, too.

IMHO, the State of Vermont let itself off pretty light with that relatively measly half-mill payout to the hapless peasantry it ran roughshod over. On the other hand, though, the schooling those innocent victims of Vermont’s PC tyranny just received in whether, and how far, their government Lords ’n’ Masters should be trusted is not something they’re likely to forget very soon…or at all, actually.

Admittedly, I would much prefer that all Ladies’ restrooms in Vermont’s legislature building be converted to Unisex with immediate effect, so that those exalted Vermont State Congressdames might enjoy the selfsame privilege they callously foisted upon young female athletes: that of having mentally-unbalanced Manwomen running around waving their goobs at ‘em each and every time they hit the powder room to “freshen up.”

Big points for RFKJ.

The Way RFK Jr. Turned the Tables on This Democrat Was Amazing
Democrats thought they had Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. right where they wanted him. On Friday, Kennedy was on Capitol Hill so that Democrats could grandstand on the HHS budget, the 25th Amendment, and whatever else they needed clips of to include in their fundraising pitches. They thought they could abuse Kennedy and he’d just take it.

They were wrong. Very, very wrong.

During the hearing, Democrats came loaded with their usual talking points about proposed Medicaid changes harming the poor and the sick. What they didn’t anticipate was Kennedy coming armed with numbers that reframed the entire argument. Instead of playing defense, he walked into that hearing room and went on offense.

Kennedy’s central point was straightforward: the administration isn’t cutting Medicaid. It’s cleaning it up.

Then came my favorite moment of the exchange. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) decided to challenge Kennedy with what he clearly thought was a devastating question. “Have you met with any of the 1.4 million people who have lost their health insurance just this last year from dropping off of Obamacare?” Casar asked. “Have you sat down and talked to those folks about the fact they won’t have their health insurance again?”

The question was stupid, but the implication was obvious. According to Cesar, Kennedy was supposedly indifferent to real Americans losing coverage.

Kennedy’s response was about as devastating as it gets. “They’re almost all illegal immigrants,” he told him.

There was a brief pause before Cesar stuttered his way through a response and then proceeded to talk over Kennedy as he attempted to make a critical point.

“We found 1.5 million illegal immigrants illegally collecting Medicaid,” Kennedy said.

Heh. Go get the goddamned idiots, Sec Kennedy, sir.

“How it works”

Mayor Mammyjammy says, like he has the least inkling.

Mamdani Unveils Innovative Plan to Tax New Yorkers to Pay for Their Low-Cost Groceries
Comrade Zohran Mamdani, the Communist Twelver-Shi’ite Mayor of New York, on Tuesday unveiled his plan for government-run grocery stores as if they were actually a good thing. Dear Mayor, who always has the best interests of The People at heart, has set aside $70 million for this foray into government-sanctioned theft and redistribution, and says that this exercise in vote-buying and making people dependents of the state will be operational in late 2027. So there’s something to look forward to, at least if you’re in the habit of collecting signposts on the highway to civilizational destruction.

In full socialist states, high walls and guards with machine guns keep the productive people from fleeing, and the threat of the gulag keeps them working. In Mamdani’s New York, the productive people will grow tired of paying for everyone’s groceries, and will leave the city. Unless Mamdani can figure out a way to tax everyone who has ever lived in New York City, his socialist grocery stores will fail.

Mamdani, however, is all for trying the socialist “experiment” again anyway, despite unanimously negative results. “New York City,” he said with grandiose ebullience, “it is time for a grand experiment once again, just as LaGuardia used government to respond to the challenges of the Great Depression, we will use government to respond to rising prices and unaffordable groceries.”

It’s time for the socialist experiment again? Really? Millions killed and millions more in the gulags weren’t enough? The killing fields of Democratic Kampuchea weren’t enough? The failed economies of the entire Soviet bloc weren’t enough? This is like doing a basic science experiment for the umpteenth time and wondering if it will come out differently this time: will the boiling water not become steam this time? No, the same thing will happen that happened all the other times. Socialism will fail again.

Mamdani explained: “Now, here’s how it works. The city will subsidize a core set of staples. A private operator will run the store, but the answer to the standards that the city will set these standards include requirements that at our stores, bread will be cheaper, eggs will be cheaper, grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation, and workers will be treated with dignity.”

That’s swell, but here is how it works also: The stores will quickly run out of the low-cost items, as the demand will far exceed the supply. After all, who doesn’t want free stuff? There will be long, long lines to get virtually anything at these stores, and after they run for a while, those who are paying for them will go broke or leave the city or both, and they will collapse. If you’re skeptical about this, note that this was exactly what happened to city-run grocery stores in Kansas City, and much of it happened also in New York City itself when a private firm ran a week-long experimental low-cost grocery store back in February.

Not one of these collectivist/authoritarian/totalitarian jackwagons ever seems to be at all interested in asking the most obvious, common-sensical questions of themselves as regards their proven-failure program. Why, one might almost conclude they’re frightened to death of the answers or sumpin’.

Common sense on the Court

Posted on March 23, 2026 by Mike

Sounds about right to me. But then, I’m inclined to be sensible like that, see.

Supreme Court sounds skeptical of late-arriving ballots, a Trump target
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules.

An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be affected.

The legal challenge is part of Trump’s broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states. Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi pitting the state against Trump’s Republican administration and the Republican and Libertarian parties. At issue is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.

Via Ace, who adds:

It’s obviously just farming fake votes to steal elections in the unconstitutional overtime period.

And the Justices appear to believe that when the Constitution specifies an Election Day, it means AN Election DAY, not an election week or an election month or an unspecified election period allowing the printing of millions of fake ballots.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

1, that’s all false, and 2, this has nothing to do with the actual legal question at hand, which is: When the Constitution speaks of an (singular) Election Day, do they mean it or were they just joshing?

It’s amazing how leftwing communists routinely invent words and penumbras that don’t appear in the Constitution, but, when faced with the Constitution’s actual words, claim “Oh that doesn’t matter, that’s like 100 years old, man.”

“Amazing” isn’t quite strong enough to meet the case, but maybe that’s just cynical ol’ me talking.

Taxation

Is theft.

California Chased Out Another Billionaire, Bringing the Total Money Lost To…
Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick says he’s the latest billionaire to join the exodus out of California as the “billionaire tax” initiative gathers signatures for the November ballot. “On December 18, I moved to Texas,” he told TPBN hosts John Coogan and Jordi Hays. “I don’t know what’s so specific about December 18, but let’s just say it’s prior to January.”

If the initiative passes, it would levy a one-time 5% tax on the entire net worth of the state’s billionaires, backdated to Jan. 1, 2026. That much you probably already knew.

What you might not know about the so-called Billionaire’s Tax Act is who is pushing for it and why — or how much it’s already cost the state.

The initiative’s primary sponsor is SEIU-United Healthcare Workers West (SEIU-UHW), which hopes to literally cash in on the tech sector’s riches. The Billionaire’s Tax Act, according to the union, would direct any funds raised “primarily to healthcare funding and food assistance programs through the newly created 2026 Billionaire Tax Reserve Fund.”

I think we know how that would play out in the real world: as a slush fund by, for, and of the SEIU.

Well, I mean, y’know, DUH.

That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson’s death that made Michelle’s absence on Friday all the more glaring. “Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons’ kitchen table when she was a teenager,” the statement read. “And in his two historic runs for president, he laid the foundation for my own campaign to the highest office of the land.” If there was ever a funeral Michelle had a personal, deeply rooted reason to attend, this was it.

So what’s the excuse this time?

The Obamas have been the subject of divorce rumors for a while now, and to say they’ve not handled them well is an understatement. They appeared on a podcast together, which looked painfully scripted, and of course, there’s the obligatory birthday, anniversary, Father’s Day, and Mother’s Day posts on social media. The choreographed podcast appearances and coordinated anniversary posts on social media prove nothing. Bill and Hillary Clinton have been photographed holding hands, too; no one believes they have a happy marriage.

Last June, Michelle said she was relieved she didn’t have a son, because he would have been “another Barack.” That’s not the kind of thing a happily married woman says in public.

The real tell is the explanation Michelle keeps offering. “One of the major decisions I made this year was to stay put and not attend funerals and inaugurations and all the things that I’m supposed to attend,” she told NPR last year. “That was a part of me using my ambition to say, ‘Let me define what I want to do, apart from what I’m supposed to do.'”

That would be a compelling argument if she were actually retreating from the public eye. She’s not. She’s recently “written” a book. She does podcast interviews regularly. She gives speeches. From where I sit, she seems to be declining the specific events where the public would see her standing next to her husband.

There’s a meaningful difference between stepping back from the spotlight and stepping away from your spouse.

There is at that. Bottom line: this “marriage” is a total sham, conceived and arranged from the start as a distraction from a politically-inconvenient truth; namely, that Big Mike’s “husband”—widely known for years in Chicago as “Bathhouse Barry” for very good reasons—is in fact a homosexual; and Big Mike “herself” is probably a man—more of one than her fake, ghey “husband” will ever be, at any rate.

Punks pack it in

Punk Fail? Rockers Cancel Festival Over Trump
Jello Biafra leads wave of rockers pulling out of tour over tepid Trump ties

Tolerance is the new counter-culture. And it’s in short supply in the current punk scene.

Now, a gaggle of punk bands planning to tour the country is calling it quits. The reason why is so very, very 2026.

It’s all about Trump Derangement Syndrome.

No, we can’t all get along, apparently, and the Punk in the Park tour’s demise has little to do with the bands in question.

Denver’s far-Left Westword shared the ugly reason for the cancellation – “continued fallout over the organizer’s recently exposed political leanings, particularly financially supporting Trump’s second presidential campaign…”

Cameron Collins is the owner of the tour’s parent company, the Dallas-based Brew Ha Ha Productions. Collins contributed to President Trump’s most recent presidential campaign.

That was enough to stop the tour cold.

Dropkick Murphys was among the acts to bail on the tour. The group’s anti-Trump bona fides are clear, and the members are planning to play an anti-ICE concert in Minneapolis on March 6.

The Dead Kennedys planned to keep some of its earlier tour commitments for fans who already bought tickets. They still vowed not to perform at future shows due to Collins’ contributions.

That wasn’t enough for its former lead signer, Jello Biafra. The punk rocker slammed his former bandmates for not dropping out of every tour event.

Period.

Gee, how very moral of these über-sanctimonious twerps. I’m quite impressed with their courageous, selfless stand against blackest E-ville™.
