Make the cost $47mm and El Heavy will double down on the event. Americans should stay away, or show up waving flags from Russia or China ...

Ultra-smart business guys El Heavy and Leon should realize that it would be cheaper to train these immigrants in marketable trades, make them learn American English, pay taxes and join the conga line of immigrants who then become citizens. Spending millions to transport and house these folks far away, then spend on the legal cost to defend the government's actions make no sense in comparison ...

Grok might teach Leon about how to have a sense of humor. Or it could be shut down next week ...

Strong arm tactics have come into fashion
The muscle boys are back in style
They shatter the bones of descension
And never crack a smile
Well, if that's the way breaks are gotten
You know I'm gonna give it a try
All I want is everything

--"All I Want is Everything" Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes

Here in Okiehomie the locals don't have to worry about tourists showing up, except for the undocumented Chinese sex workers found each week when illegal MJ grows are busted...

And suddenly, many sub-categories on Porn sites went dark, rather than pay the tariffs...

There are many, many employers who will pay more for these people to stay in the US. Let's let the free market decide. There is nothing like workers seeking their value and highest wage in the labor market. That's what makes America a great place...

Too bad for all the farmers who voted for Trump. They knew what they were voting for. Elections have consequences and those consequences will include that people will go hungry, farms will fail, the US will be forced to import many ag products it once produced in abundance and children, college students with unpaid loans and those on Medicaid will be forced into the fields to survive. And for years to come Biden will be blamed, like he just left the room after passing gas...

The leadership members of our national defense and security organs might as well be shouting out the window at each other, barking out government secrets left, right and center...

Hey there, Scotty:
I look forward to the day soon enough when your locality will not have money to repair roads or failing bridges, where addicts again wander the street because Medicaid-funded treatment has ended, where there is much less airline traffic because not enough controllers are available, when your neighborhood gets damaged by a tornado or hurricane that could not be tracked accurately because of cuts to NOAA, where your children cannot get student loans so get to fight for low-wage, dead end factory jobs, and where your environment gets warmer but your local electric utility responds by burning more coal in power plants. On that day you will attempt to blame Diamond Joe Biden, but the truth will be taht your tangerine-colored god brought all of this upon you, and thus made America worse again...

The economy will be so easy to explain when we get onto the campaign trail next year. The two weeks of bad times will be so far behind us, almost no one will remember. It will be smooth sailing to re-election. The congressional races will be so easy, President Trump will not even have to come out to any districts to help rally voters to the MAGA cause...
--GOP MAGA functionaries, in their wettest dreams

Today, May 5, West Texas Intermediate for near term delivery is at $57.18/barrel, down from over $72 on election day. The good news: gas prices are lower. The bad news is coming for all those 'Drill Baby drill" folks, who have known for a long time that the cheap oil has already been developed, and nowadays the cost to develop new wells is such that oil has to be over $80 for many to break even. In other words, no one in the oil patch is developing new oil wells...

In less than 24 hours some administration spokesmodel will come out and declare that 'The president was only joking! Cannot you insane liberals take a joke?' or something to that effect. When caught in a situation where something he says is clearly, wildly wrong, it's always the 'joke defense'. Sadly, Trump is serious when he sends up these trial balloons. It's only when the outrage and the pushback becomes too much is the idea withdrawn.. Americans must keep pushing back...

I'm sure that this of no concern to the MAGA population in Texas, Okiehomie, Missoura, Southern Illinois (pronounced: Northwest Kentucky) and Indiana, where tornadoes are apt to visit, upon short notice...

Oh, those US soldiers are coming. Of course, when they get there they will face an adversary perhaps better armed than Hezbollah, except for the missiles and drones--but those can be sourced easily...

A place where public onanists are welcome, and even encouraged. As long as they are facing the statue of Leon...

Here in Okiehomie we get about 36" or rain in a year. Last month, in the 405 they got 12-20". Oh, but that happens, said no one ever...

Billions more for a wall that has already proven to be easily surmounted, at the cost of getting addicts clean, feeding children and repairing roads. Your MAGA neighbors will not be able to make the connection, but will travel to some God-forsaken part of west Texas to see a monument to hubris, mental illness and cowardice...

Who knew that ending a war would be hard? I mean, we have one country that was attacked when they peacefully visited another country, and the country that attacked the visitors had so many of its beautiful soldiers killed because Biden gave them weapons. Russia was within its rights to fight back, and now look what happened. This is Biden's fault. He caused this war ...

For the umpteenth time: Cryptocurrencies are vehicles for naked speculation and criminal activity, and nothing more. Der Dotard is too stupid to be a speculator, so he's into crypto for the crimes...

At its base, the teachings of the Catholic Church can be summed up as follows:
-love the Lord thy God with all your heart and all your soul
-love each other as yourself
-feed the hungry
-clothe the naked
-welcome the stranger
-visit those imprisoned
-be a voice for those who cannot be heard
-give up your belongings and take up the Cross

I find it very unlikely that such will be the message of St. Isadore School in Okiehomie. I also hope for the day--sometime soon after the SCOTUS rules in favor of this school--that Muslims somewhere in this country will seek a similar school charter, with Islamic tenets taught on the state's dime. Hijinks will ensue, with the hypocrisy and bigotry laid base...

I think the majority of Americans are tired of this sort of winning, which feels a lot like losing...

Too many of these creeps denying rights and expelling citizens from our shore are our neighbors or people we see at church. The enemies of freedom are among us...

Angering our nation's trading partners is not a strategy that will bring success to this nation's business class. Angering, ignoring and belittling countries which seek our friendship, protection and social support is a sure-fire way to lose friends and drive them into the arms of our adversaries. Breaking those newly-formed bonds can take generations and cost more than the alternative. A certain fat orange criminal insurrectionist and his ketamine-addict friend do not understand such, to our nation's harm...

Oh no, these polls are all fake. Actually, sir, the American people love you! By the way, I know you will be busy in the 2026 election season, so there is no need at all for you to come off the golf course to campaign in my district. I can handle it, knowing you are in my corner. There is no need for you to appear on a stage with me, or in television ads, or on billboards, flyers, posters or anything else. My campaign organizers have it covered. You can certainly help drum up the vote in South Carolina, or Oklahoma--yes, appear there and help!
