Trading News for Booze

April 20, 2026April 29, 2026 Buck Banks


We read about the resignations of Gonzales and Swalwell,
And we’ve kept up with the cease-fires and damaged oil wells.
But about the Strait of Hormuz,
We were just fed up with the news,
So we went out on a binge with our old drinking buddy, Kash Patel.

His Mistaken Identity

April 14, 2026April 24, 2026 Buck Banks


Trump depicting himself as Jesus is a sign of our broken zeitgeist,
At the same time, his picking a fight with Pope Leo just isn’t nice.
But we can see how the president got confused,
See, Donald Trump has grown quite used
To people exclaiming — following his words or deeds — “Jesus Christ!”

Blockade to Blockade the Blockade

April 13, 2026April 20, 2026 Buck Banks


Trump’s war in Iran is over and won, and now we’ve got it made,
But the Strait of Hormuz is still closed, and that’s affecting trade.
So what is Trump’s solution
To a stand-off without resolution?
Why, the United States will just impose an extra double-secret naval blockade.

Waffle House Warp

April 6, 2026April 12, 2026 Buck Banks


FEMA executive Greg Phillips used to be a complete unknown,
But that was before he started using teleportation to roam.
He entered some spiritual portal,
To transport 50 miles across Georgia,
But no one ever saw him at any of the three Waffle Houses of Rome.

Squeezing a Lemon

April 1, 2026April 8, 2026 Buck Banks


There was a gay, black journo named Don Lemon,
Who stopped in Minneapolis to ask questions.
But ICE got to arresting
And now Trump’s lawyers are testing
The use of the civil rights FACE Act to convict ‘im.

Pete’s Gung-Ho God

March 26, 2026April 1, 2026 Buck Banks


Pete Hegseth’s war God is a wrathful, vengeful, violent Guy,
Who springs into action when the righteous missiles start to fly.
Pete’s God is a Christian evangelical,
With, we assume, adamantine testicles,
Who sends “overwhelming violence of action” raining down from on high.

T.A.C.O. Tuesday in Tehran

March 24, 2026March 30, 2026 Buck Banks


Trump joined Israel to attack Iran with bluster and bravado,
But four weeks in, he’s looking for a way out of the imbroglio.
So he postponed blowing up Iran’s power lines,
Which, by the way, is a humanitarian crime,
Now it’s Tuesday in Tehran, and time for a typical Trump T.A.C.O.

Farce of a Deal

March 24, 2026March 29, 2026 Buck Banks


In his latest fight against windmills, Trump seems to have won,
Canceling $1 billion in wind farm leases by a French corporation.
If the French invest it in American oil and gas,
We give them every one of the billion dollars back,
Which seems like a really stupid way for a government to be run.

On Hormuz, Shoes and News

March 13, 2026March 23, 2026 Buck Banks


While Iran is closing down the Straits of Hormuz,
Trump’s buying cabinet members Florsheim shoes.
He’s not focused on the war,
But he’s on top of the decor,
Would someone please make Trump watch something besides Fox News?

Out of Focus

March 11, 2026March 22, 2026 Buck Banks


At the Pentagon, the Fourth Estate is taking a battering,
With the top-tier media outlets reduced to woolgathering.
And as if to add insult to injury,
Pete Hegseth, in a narcissistic fury,
Banned photographers for taking photos he said were “unflattering.”

Dishonest to a Fault
Buck Banks | Jul. 22, 2026

From Trump’s “stolen election” lies, we can’t get no relief,
He carps on about stolen votes, but he never names the thief.
Somebody needs to tell this guy
Americans aren’t buying his lies,
And that he’s turned us into the United States of Disbelief.

    +175,000

    $4,600

    President Donald Trump is asking for $1,500,000 million for the military for next year. That’s close to $600 billion (adjusted for inflation) more than we were spending on the military in fiscal year 2025, before Trump took office, Alternet reports. This increase is huge by any measure. It comes to around $4,600 per household. It is around 8% of the total budget.

    A new Emerson College survey of likely 2026 voters finds the Democrats with an 11-point advantage over the Republicans on the generic congressional ballot, leading 53% to 42%. President Trump holds a 39% job approval rating, consistent with the past two months, whereas his disapproval increased another point, to 57%.

    30%

    A new American Research Group poll finds just 30% of Americans say they approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 67% say they disapprove.

    61% to 35%

    Wall Street Journal: “Around 40% of voters in the 2024 election said the economy was their top issue, far outstripping any other matter. And those voters favored Donald Trump by 60% to 38%. Many say they were moved by his pledges to tame inflation, rebuild U.S. infrastructure, cut red tape and trim government waste. … About a year and a half later, more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy than approve, 61% to 35%, an average of polls by the Cook Political Report found this month.”
