Epstein, Springsteen, and Trumpenstein

Same old same old

When we last checked in on our dashing hero Donald Trump, he was enthusiastically salivating over the chance to sign the “Take it Down” internet censorship bill. A few days ago, he did indeed sign this very Orwellian legislation. Most of us don’t deal in “revenge porn,” whatever that is, but we have good reason to fear this odious act.

So that’s at least one thing Trump has accomplished thus far in his second go round; making it even more difficult for truly dissenting views to be accessed online. And this is also the only thing the Republican majority in the House and Senate- you know, the alternative to the hopelessly evil “Woke” Democrats- has managed to do. Well, I think they snuck yet another pay raise for themselves in there. It’s hard to tell, because they do that so regularly. Why no Republican-led legislation to deport millions of illegals? Or end birth right citizenship? Or approve of the DOGE efforts to expose (and presumably at some point eliminate) all that governmental waste, fraud, and abuse? It’s almost like the MAGA forces have no power in Congress. It’s almost like the RINOs still rule the Stupid Party. It’s almost like the entire MAGA movement is all smoke and no fire. Or as I call it, the Trumpenstein Project.

Other than the dangerous “Take it Down” act, try to find out exactly what Trump has and hasn’t actually accomplished. He wrote a lot of executive orders, many of them which sounded really good, but have any actually been implemented? Other than the pardoning of the January 6 political prisoners? I’ll give him credit for that, so Trumpenstein has done two things, one good and one bad. If official reports are to be believed, his “mass deportation” has resulted in fewer illegals leaving the country than there were under Joe Biden. Both sides have reason to lie about these numbers, as the Left wants to hysterically suggest Trump is deporting everyone named Jose, and the Right is trying to portray it as a genuine “mass deportation,” where Trump is keeping up with those “promises made, promises delivered.” I haven’t driven by my Home Depot at 7 in the morning lately, but my guess is the parking lot is as full as ever.

In true Trumpenstein fashion, he has resumed troll tweeting (well now it would be categorized as Truth Socializing) ridiculous celebrities, usually in the middle of the night. Well, I guess he has to do something when he’s not on the golf course. Bruce Springsteen, whose music helped comprise the soundtrack of my youth, has admittedly become a really pathetic caricature of “The Boss.” He fell recently walking towards the stage, and sometimes manages to look like he’s in the beginning stages of transitioning to perhaps become the “ Bossette.” Or to be Woody Allen’s stunt double. Anyway, he said some predictable nasty things about Trump, what you’d expect from your typical celebrity with TDS. And Trumpenstein lashed back, at 2:00 in the morning no less, with a flurry of name calling that would make any “Woke” partisan proud. He really utilized every grammar school epithet he could think of, calling Springsteen everything except “poo-poo head.”

Trump, in fact, demanded an investigation into this “dried out ‘prune’ of a rocker” and others. In his patented all caps fashion, the leader of the free world charged, “HOW MUCH DID KAMALA HARRIS PAY BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN FOR HIS POOR PERFORMANCE DURING HER CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE ACCEPT THAT MONEY IF HE IS SUCH A FAN OF HERS? ISN’T THAT A MAJOR AND ILLEGAL CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION? WHAT ABOUT BEYONCÉ? …AND HOW MUCH WENT TO OPRAH, AND BONO???” As he did throughout Trump 1.0, the president is acting as if he’s an immature old man in a trailer park, not the head of the executive branch of the government. Such unhinged ranting will be the extent of all this. If there were to be any “investigation,” wouldn’t he start the process? Or at least push the Republicans in Congress to hold meaningless hearings?

Trumpenstein always finds time to respond to those who “disrespect” him. There aren’t many other billionaires who adopt this kind of ghetto mentality. He isn’t quite as proactive on carrying out his most hopeful campaign promises, however. Like actually doing a “mass deportation.” What happened to Tom “Mad Dog” Homan? He seemed like such a hard ass, didn’t he? Boris Karloff was pretty good at portraying demented mad scientists, too. That’s the entertainment biz for you. Trying to determine what is actually in Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax budget is as difficult as figuring out any other Trump policy. It’s a typically huge bill, so I haven’t read it, but there doesn’t seem to be anything in there about eliminating Social Security taxes. The most recent claim is that it eliminates taxes on overtime and tips. But is that only for government employees, who largely don’t work overtime? As for tips, that’s a good thing, but how many servers were reporting that anyhow?

Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill looks very much like previous budgets from other Republicans. Non-MAGA types. RINOs. He wants to retain his old tax rates, and that assures that, as always, the more income you have, the greater the tax cut. I’ve tried to explain that to blue collar supporters of Trump. “Tax cuts” are for the rich, because they have the most income. You can’t really cut income taxes on laborers, because they’re barely making any income. I wasn’t any more successful in trying to enlighten the Reagan supporters I worked with back in the 1980s. You’re not getting a tax cut. The CEO we all hate is. And what happened to Trump’s great suggestion of no taxes for anyone making less than $150,000? So in other words, meet the new Trumpenstein, same as the old Trumpenstein. No one’s impeaching him this time. There isn’t any phony “Russiagate” to contend with. Just Bruce Springsteen, I guess.

Trumpenstein 2.0 appears to be unraveling fast. His FBI director, Kash Patel, who we at least thought would be better than Hall of Fame Swamp Creature William Barr, just recently chimed in on the mysterious death of Jeffrey Epstein. Shockingly, unlike 100% of the MAGA faithful who hailed his appointment, Patel insists that Epstein killed himself. And sitting next to him was his assistant, former talk show host Dan Bongino, who expressed his strong agreement. In this regard, Bongino was going against 100% of his former radio audience. Bongino declared “I’ve seen the file.” Oh, you mean the one that the government says is missing all the stuff from Epstein’s safe? You know, that contained loads of video tapes and photos of compromised individuals, many of them undoubtedly famous? It’s astonishing that these figures can make these statements with straight faces. As the old expression goes, we know they’re lying, they know we know they’re lying, and still they lie.

So I suppose this assures us that there won’t be any “mass arrests” under Kash Patel. Remember “trust AG Barr?” So four more years of “two more weeks.” Really, how can they not have prosecuted the acting head of USAID, who wrote an email telling everyone to destroy evidence before DOGE could see it? That seems a lot more serious than a rape allegation from a mentally disturbed woman who couldn’t remember the year it happened, but what do I know? I didn’t even finish community college. Speaking of DOGE, what’s going on with that now? Did they ever begin auditing any other departments? Certainly not the promised audit of the Pentagon, as Trumpenstein pushed through a trillion dollar defense budget, the largest in history. You might even call it “big and beautiful.” Lots of bombs for the Hootie-Tooties in Yemen, and perhaps those “state sponsors of terrorism” in Iran.

I have to think that Trump is going to lose his MAGA base. He’s already lost Marjorie Taylor Greene. “I represent the base and when I’m frustrated and upset over the direction of things, you better be clear, the base is not happy," Greene tweeted out earlier this month. "I campaigned for no more foreign wars. And now we are supposedly on the verge of going to war with Iran. "I don’t think we should be bombing foreign countries on behalf of other foreign countries especially when they have their own nuclear weapons and massive military strength….When you are losing MTG, you are losing the base. And Trump isn’t on the ballot in the future, so do the math on that.” Thomas Massie, the best the House has to offer, is despised by Trump. It’s a Trumpenstein thing, you wouldn’t understand. If the Republicans are no longer the Stupid Party, why isn’t Massie, or Greene, or Andy Biggs, Speaker of the House?

And Trump is now fired up over the belated admission by the establishment that Joe Biden was cognitively impaired during his presidency. He wants Congress to look into that. Sure, Kash Patel is working on indictments of key figures in the Biden administration as we speak. I don’t know if this is more important to Trumpenstein than Springsteen, Beyonce, Bono and other pretentious celebrities getting paid big money to support Kamala Harris. But it’s clearly a more pressing issue than our crumbling infrastructure. Or those new factories that have yet to be built, to go along with his tariffs. Or the corruption that is entrenched at all levels of the system, with no one ever held accountable for it. Trump once called it “draining the swamp.” Now in his second term, Trump has yet to touch a single Swamp creature. Bruce Springsteen will be indicted before James Comey or any other denizen of the Swamp.

On the treatment of Whites in South Africa, however, Trump is suddenly becoming bold. He admitted fifty four White South Africans into the country as political refugees. The same societal leaders that have been orgasmic over the immigration explosion during the last few decades suddenly found some migrants they didn’t like. It brought back memories of the handful of illegal immigrants that Ron DeSantis dropped off in Martha’s Vineyard a few years ago. Demonstrating that government can indeed respond on this issue, the Republican governor had those pathetic migrants escorted out of the One Percenter playground in hours. But the South African farmers were different; startlingly White, and bereft of any of the qualities that have made other African-Americans the toast of America 2.0. So it’s not all migrants they sympathize with, it’s only the nonwhite ones. Whites cannot be victims, cannot be persecuted. Period. Some migrants are more equal than others.

And then, topping that, Trump met with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa in the White House. Going beyond the scripted scolding he gave Ukrainian comedian turned dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump hit all the right talking points. He even had the lights dimmed and played the videos of South African leaders urging that Whites be murdered, and their land stolen. It took some courage to make even this small, symbolic gesture. And it marked the first time that I know of, that Trump has ever mentioned the White race as president. He also pointed out the endless crosses adorning the highways, each commemorating a White farmer killed by Blacks. Trump is at least raising an issue which has never been raised in polite society before. And incurring even more wrath from the crowd that prefers their migrants to be exclusively nonwhite males of prime fighting age. So, give Trump his due here. Ramaphosa and his crew’s smiles betrayed a very wicked sense of humor.

So this was at least some kind of “winning.” But Trump’s “wins” are all like this; WWE style verbal salvos, fired at targets who are undeniably terrible people. As Trump himself said, “I don’t know what to do” about the plight of the White Afrikaners. We all enjoyed him throwing Zelenskyy out of the White House. But it appears that the little penis piano playing leader hasn’t missed a single payment from the U.S. taxpayers. Is Trump going to intervene militarily in South Africa? Well, the Left would finally mention the word peace again in such a case. Bringing thousands of White migrants into this country certainly doesn’t solve the immigration problem. It may counter the Great Replacement in a small way, as young White Americans simply won’t have babies. Ultimately, Trump chewing out some horrific state controlled journalist, or a tyrannical foreign leader, is the only sign that he is fighting the elite.

As I’ve said, I don’t know why I continue to pay attention to politics. I’ve followed it virtually all my life, and really nothing I ever wanted to happen ever happened. We still have this overwhelming corruption, which simply cannot be confronted. We still have the world’s worst disparity of wealth, which has resulted in at least half of the country having almost nothing financially. We still have this dilapidated infrastructure, which remains unaddressed after more than sixty years. We have no real economic opportunities for 80 percent of the people. We have a new generation giving up on marriage, and relationships. We do have increasingly realistic AI sex bots, however. Which those who would most want them probably won’t be able to afford. But we have leaders who will continue to tell you how “great” things are, and how “great” you are for “sacrificing” when they tell you to. Which is basically always.

Yesterday, I watched the congressional hearings on the JFK assassination, chaired by the lovely Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. Sure, I know nothing will be done about it, but it is nice to hear all those Republicans state publicly that there was a conspiracy to kill JFK. One of the committee witnesses was my friend Doug Horne, who is a top notch researcher on the subject, and has been on my “I Protest” podcast. Of course, it was essentially pointless to watch it, no matter how beautiful Rep. Luna’s smile was. It’s a distraction for those desperate for truth. Some truth. Any truth. We’re not getting it from Trumpenstein, and certainly not from the literally Satanic Democrats. We’re not getting it from the state controlled mainstream media, or much of the alt media. So I enjoyed these hearings for what they were; a brief glimpse into how a Congress representing the People might act. That may be the best we can hope for.
