Maybe having Canada as our 51st state isn’t such a bad idea after all
I need to credit my friends Monte and Loloma with his one.
The MAGAts are always telling us how smart Donald Trump is. He’s 10 steps ahead of everyone else. He’s playing five-dimensional chess. Everything he does is calculated. He’s simply following the master plan – that only he can see.
I’d like to ask the MAGAts something.
He’s been raving for some time now about Canada becoming America’s 51st state. He brought up just the other day during a meeting with the head of NATO.
Canadians have made it very clear they’re not interested in becoming America’s 51st state. They’re quite happy being a sovereign nation, and they hate Donald Trump – they really hate him.
But let’s say that in some inconceivable fever dream rendition of the near future, perhaps induced by a tab of LSD, Canada, against its will, became the 51st state in the American union. Whom do you think 40 million pissed-off Canadians would vote for in the next election?
MAGA?
The Republicans?
Dementia Donald Trump?
Hell no! They’d vote for the opposition. The GOP would have its ass handed to it. We would finally see an end to the political existence of Trump, the Republicans and MAGA.
Hmmm. That doesn’t sound very smart to me. In fact, it sounds fucking stupid.
Why would Trump pursue such a course? Is there a hidden McGuffin I haven’t taken into account?
Or maybe he’s just a fucking idiot who doesn’t know what he’s going to do from one hour to the next.
I know one thing: Maybe having Canada as our 51st state isn’t such a bad idea after all.

It wasn’t long ago that President Michelin Man, that svelte, sleek, 225-pound, 6-foot 2-inch glistening example of American manhood – oh, give me a break. The guy’s 5-10 and weighs damn near 300 pounds and the only reason he glistens is because they’ve pumped him so full of Zocor the fat is oozing from his skin pores.
He and that little couch-fucking sock puppet of a vice president, J.D. Vance, who looks like one of those Christmas Nutcracker dolls that Ivanka dressed up with some eyeliner – they had to put plastic slipcovers on the Oval Office couch because Vice President Sock Puppet couldn’t remember to bring his trick towel – they were meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and they were making fun of him for not wearing a suit.
Actually, it wasn’t they who were making fun of him. It was a guy by the name of Brian Glenn, a fake reporter who’s a corpulent sac of pus. He has to wear a suit because that big belly of his would maim innocent bystanders if he didn’t.
He’s best known for being Marjorie Taylor Greene’s boyfriend. You know who Marjorie Taylor Greene is – that so-called U.S. representative from Georgia who spends all her time in the gym training for the Special Olympics. She’s also Pam Bondi’s sponsor in Bottle Blondes Anonymous. Anyway, it was Glenn who was making fun of Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit.
Meanwhile, just a few days ago, President Michelin Man hosted a meeting with another world leader, El Salvador’s “cool dictator” whose name I will not even attempt to spell because it looks like something out of Star Trek. He’s at left in the photo and let me ask you guys something: Is that a suit? With all that black is he the “cool dictator” or the “goth dictator”? Or maybe he’s just trying to evoke that Undertaker Chic look.
At any rate, why weren’t they making fun of him for not wearing a suit? Is it because they were afraid that one day he might be handing them orange jump suits and controlling their supply of Vaseline and Preparation H?
It’s just another example of MAGA hypocrisy. You know, like that kid on TikTok – what’s his name? Harry something. The kid with rosy cheeks who’s always bashing the Republicans and MAGA, and they bash him back, calling him “soy boy” and “beta male” – that is until they found out he was hooking up with every woman he could lay his hands on. They were instantly jealous. That’s because they’re all basement-dwelling incels who couldn’t get a date with a girl if they were incarcerated in a SuperMax prison for women. The only time they come out of the house is to go on a pew-pew spree like that nutcase at FSU.
I can’t wait for all these MAGA freaks to fly off to Mars with Elon Musk and eat asparagus the rest of their lives.
It’s gonna be a beautiful day.

So let me see if I’ve got this straight.
Our “president,” Donald J. Corleone Trump, wants to invade Canada and force it to become our 51st state, snatch Greenland from our NATO ally Denmark, send the military into Mexico to wage war with the drug cartels, invade Panama and seize the Panama Canal, start a trade war with the entire world and simultaneous to all this shit balance the budget, pay down the debt, rebuild the country, solve the fentanyl crisis, bring down the price of eggs, bring down the price of gasoline AND cram 300 pounds of lard into an alleged 225-pound frame, thus defying the laws of gravity and physics, but he CAN’T get one guy – ONE GUY – out of a prison in El Salvador owned and operated by his pal, the cool dictator, who by the way looks like he should be working in a hair care salon in Beverly Hills. Donald J. Corleone Trump can’t do that?
I’m sorry guys but I gotta call bullshit on that one. That is some Grade A, world-class bullshit.
Does he think the rest of us are as dumb as the people who voted for him?
He needs to get off his lard ass, do what the Supreme Court told him to do and get that guy back here.
And while he’s at it, tell that Stepford Wife attorney general of his, Pam Bondi, to fix her roots. They’re looking pretty bad. Maybe the cool dictator hair salon guy can take care of that for her.
One last thing: I noticed the cool dictator wasn’t wearing a suit when he met with Trump, but nobody said a word. Where is Brian Glenn, corpulent trichinosis worm boyfriend of Queen of the Convenience Store Dumpster Trade Marjorie Taylor Greene, when you need him?

At a press conference recently, Donald Strump’s White House Spokesbitch Karoline Leavitt, oh she of the smug, imperious dismissal, brought up the subject of Strump’s surging popularity in the polls.
For somebody who doesn’t care about the polls, he sure spends a lot of time looking at them.
Specifically, Ms. Leavitt – or can we be less formal and call her Kar Kar – referenced a poll published in the Daily Mail that showed el presidente’s popularity at record highs.
Before I go any farther, let me ask something: What is it with MAGA women’s obsession with blindingly blonde hair? I think Ms. Leavitt and Pam Bondi should start a 12-step group for bottle blondes. It must be an Aryan thing, like the MAGA “men” wearing blood red ties – not just “blood red ties” but arterial blood red ties. I haven’t seen that much red since the May Day celebration in Moscow’s Red Square.
The Daily Mail is a UK-based tabloid newspaper. My British friends tell me it is to the U.K. what The National Enquirer is to the U.S. We all know the tabloids are purveyors of the very finest journalism, such as: “Queen Gives Birth to Bigfoot’s Love Child,” “Flying Saucer Lands in Trafalgar Square and out Walks Younger, Dapper Winston Churchill,” or “Donald Strump’s Popularity Surges in New Poll.”
Meanwhile, in the world of Big Boy Journalism, which publishes REAL polls, Donald Strump’s popularity is circling the toilet bowl.
But that’s OK, Kar Kar. You take the good news wherever you can find it. You keep us up to date on the whereabouts of Bigfoot. Maybe somebody will slap him with a paternity suit.
That’s the view from zero elevation. You have yourself a sweet day … Kar Kar.

Is see where some of Jabba the Trump’s lapdogs have taken to wearing lapel pins with his likeness.
The last time we saw anything like that was when Chairman Mao eradicated tens of millions of his Chinese countrymen during the famines and the Cultural Revolution.
And you say MAGA isn’t a cult – ha!
The only thing I’d use with a Trump likeness is a roll of toilet paper.

Well, the Giant Orange Space Turd shut down his tariffs, at least temporarily, and as a result the stock market went into orbit and MAGAts flooded the zone with really awful Star Trek analogies.
“Uh, yeah, man, it’s 5-D chess. The president is playing 5-D chess. It’s all part of the plan.”
Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Listening to MAGAts talk about 5-D chess is like placing a keyboard in front of a lap poodle and expecting it to type Shakespeare.
The ONLY reason the Giant Orange Space Turd delayed his tariffs is because the lobotomites and mouth-breathers who work for him, dumb as they are, recognized this starship was headed toward a black hole.
Sorry to burst your bubble, MAGAts, but the Giant Orange Space Turd is not a Mister Spock-style savant playing the long game with the economy. No no, MAGAts, this cancellation of tariffs is a colossal admission of failure of both policy and mind. It’s as if the Giant Orange Space Turd beamed down to Planet of the Idiots and they forgot to transport his brain.
You want another Star Trek analogy? Here’s one: Let’s hope the Giant Orange Space Turd goes where no one has gone before.
And stays there.
Live long and prosper!

I suppose you’ve heard about the four American soldiers who were unalived during a training exercise in Lithuania.
I don’t know if you are aware of the fact that the Lithuanians gave those soldiers a beautiful send-off. Thousands of Lithuanian citizens lined the streets to pay their respects as the soldiers were transported to the airport. The Lithuanian president said that military service in their country is not just a duty but an emotion.
Contrast that with the reception they received at Dover Air Force Base in the United States. Our president was too busy playing golf down in South Florida to attend the dignified transfer. He sent that drunk, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth – gosh, I hope he was sober.
And speaking of golf, I don’t if you knew this but every time the president travels to Florida to play golf it costs the American taxpayers between $3.5 million and $5 million.
Trump was inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025. Since that date he has come to Florida to play golf seven times. He also took a trip to the Super Bowl and he visited the Daytona 500, so that’s nine of these jaunts at a cost of $3.5 million to $5 million apiece. By my reckoning, using the $5 million figure because the math is easier, that’s $45 million the American taxpayer has shelled out to haul his fat ass around so he could have some fun.
I understand presidents need to occasionally get out, enjoy life and do some things. However, we’ve been told that times are dire – so dire that Trump had to hire a foreign national, Elon Musk, to come in like the Grim Reaper and slash hundreds of thousands of jobs, lay waste to government services and eviscerate federal agencies, all in the name of saving money. If times are so dire, why are we having to pay $45 million in three months for the president’s fun?
And when you put the numbers together they come out something like this: If he’s averaging two of these trips per month then that’s $10 million, or $120 million per year. If he actually makes it through all four years of his term the taxpayers will have spent almost half a billion dollars on this guy to cheat at golf. People are losing their jobs, federal services are being cut – hell, they don’t even have rangers at the national parks – but the president gets to play golf.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
By the way, there were members of Congress at the dignified transfer at Dover. They were all Democrats. I guess the Republicans were too busy committing sex offenses and stealing our money to pay their respects.
Oh, and I may be wrong about this, but looking at the names of the fallen soldiers, and seeing their photos, I believe three of the four were people of color, exactly the kind of people President Sex Offender is trying to deport.
Maybe he just didn’t have time for more “suckers and losers” as he once put it.
The man is a sorry excuse for a human being. The people who defend him are almost as bad.

Stock markets around the world are crashing. As east Asian markets came online late last night trading on the Taiwan and China markets had to be temporarily halted as investors scrambled to protect their assets from the insanity of Donald J. Trump.
Over the weekend, all the social media experts, with their PhDs and Nobel Prizes in economics, finance and business, were saying, “Don’t worry. This is all part of a plan. This is the temporary pain we must go through until we come out on the other side.”
What a load of horseshit. There is NO plan that requires the destruction of an asset in order to protect it. That would be like unaliving a cancer patient and then saying, “See there? Problem solved!”
Meanwhile the real economists, the folks with the PhDs and Nobel Prizes in economics, finance and business, the people who went to real colleges for decades to earn their degrees, have to a man and woman said that Trump’s economic “plan” is nothing more than voodoo economics and will end in disaster. They’re all bailing for the bomb shelters.
I don’t know what Trump’s intentions are and thank God I don’t. My brain doesn’t work that way and I’m not evil. But I do know this: He’s either out of his mind or he’s evil, take your pick. He should be in prison – or a mental institution.
He’s destroying people’s lives, and destroying lives is wrong.
He needs to be stopped.

He has also published stories in Penthouse Comix, and worked with artist Dave Dorman on many projects, including the illustrated novella “Roadkill,” a short story for the Andrew Vachss anthology Underground from Dark Horse, an ashcan titled “December” for Hero Illustrated, and several of Dorman’s Wasted Lands novellas and comics, such as Rail from Image and “The Uninvited.” Stone’s novel, Dead Heat, won the 1996 International Horror Guild’s award for best first novel and was a runner-up for the Bram Stoker Award. Stone has also been a finalist for the IHG award for short fiction, the British Fantasy Award for best novella, and a semifinalist for the Nebula and Writers of the Future awards. His stories have appeared in anthologies that have won the Bram Stoker Award and the World Fantasy Award. Two of his works were optioned for film, the novella “Black Tide” and short story “Crisis Line.”
Stone recently retired after a 41-year career in journalism. He won numerous awards for his work, and in 1986 was named Florida’s best columnist in his circulation division by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors. In 2001 he received an honorable mention from the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association for his essay “When Freedom of Speech Ends” and in 2003 he was voted Best of the Best in the category of columnists by Emerald Coast Magazine. He participated in book signings and awareness campaigns, and was a guest on local television and radio programs.
As an addendum, Stone is single, kills tomatoes and morning glories with ruthless efficiency, once tied the stem of a cocktail cherry in a knot with his tongue, and carries a permanent scar on his chest after having been shot with a paintball gun. He’s in his 60s as of this writing but doesn’t look a day over 94.

I’ve got a question for the MAGAts:
The other day I filled up the gas tank on my car. The price seemed kind of high so I checked – gas was 23 cents a gallon higher on Wednesday than it was on Jan. 20, 2025, when Joe Biden left office.
Why is that?
I thought your boy, Diaper Donnie, was going to fix all that! Isn’t that what he said? Prices will come down? On day one?
He can’t use the pandemic as an excuse. The United States is the world’s number one producer of oil, so he can’t use that as an excuse. America leads the world in exploring for new oil resources, so he can’t even use that for an excuse.
It’s like the price of eggs. Didn’t he say he was going to lower to the price of eggs? Because I checked this week – eggs are A DOLLAR higher now than they were when Sleepy Joe left office. A DOLLAR!
I don’t get it. Gas prices are higher. Egg prices are higher. Unemployment is higher. Inflation is higher. The only things lower are the stock market and consumer confidence.
Trump said he would lower the price of eggs. Then he said we might have to go through some temporary pain before prices come down. Now he’s saying he wishes people would stop bitching about the price of eggs.
Wow, what an accomplishment. I’m so glad you, ahem, “intellectually impaired individuals” elected Donald Trump president.
He really is making America “great” again.
Or is that “grate”?

A couple of alarming developments:
1. The Trump regime has decided any law firm engaging in frivolous litigation will be sanctioned by the federal government, meaning the firm’s attorneys would lose their security clearances and the firm itself would be barred from government contracts. The regime decides which lawsuits are frivolous.
This is the stuff of banana republics. Litigation is the last and best defense against the Trump regime’s abuses of power.
2. Americans re-entering the country are subject to having their electronic devices searched at the discretion of security personnel.
Anything you might have in your phone is now available for scrutiny by the government.
While this has always been the case, the Trump regime has weaponized the inspection of electronic devices, denying entry to non-citizens and harassing citizens whose devices contain media critical of the regime.
War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.
