Pensito IllustrationWhere Donald Trump’s “facts” come from has always been a mystery.
He serves up his version of events without context or consistency.
Though offered with details and relish,
His renditions always seek to embellish
His foreknowledge, role and influence on all aspects of his “fake history.”
Pensito IllustrationTrump’s latest environmental proclamation is typically deranged.
Is there anyone on the planet who is, from reality, more estranged?
To Trump, greenhouse gasses
Are as disposable as Epstein lasses,
So now he wants to “revoke” the EPA rule that there exists climate change.
Pensito IllustrationTrump’s is the most tenuous of authoritarian tyrannies,
Founded on a web of paranoid hostilities and mental deficiencies.
It thrives on delusional finger-pointing
Crowned by sanctimonious self-anointing,
Culminating in a “harmonic convergence of competing conspiracies.“
Tesla Diner in Hollywood blocking the view Big eye ouchie. At Tesla’s new Hollywood Diner & Drive-In, progress looks like a four-story movie screen blocking the view from the apartment building next door. One Tesla Diner diner said he loved the diner’s Blade Runner vibes. “Looks good on the eyes,” he said. When asked if apartment dwellers might enjoy the oversized spectacle on their doorstep, Roman didn’t miss a beat: “Probably not. That is a huge ouchy for their eyes.”
Meanwhile in Gilead. At a town hall in Tennessee a pregnant woman stood up to tell what happened when the state’s broken moral compass aimed itself directly at her uterus. She and her partner of 15 years are parents of a 13-year-old, but because they are unmarried her doctor denied medical care for her and her unborn child. The denial was based on the state’s 2025 Medical Ethics Defense Act, which puts Christo-fascist morality ahead of science.
Totally not thinking about Epstein now. Trump has been unloading distraction after distraction to avert public attention from his career-killing Trumpstein scandal. One of the low points was his playing politics with First People’s identity. Trump ordered the Washington Commanders to bring back the name “Redskins.” And he’s threatening the owners with withholding stadium permits as leverage. Worse of all, he called his policy “MIGA” — Make Indians Great Again.
Radar causes weather disasters. An diocratic group calling themselves Veterans on Patrol is out to destroy Doppler radar systems because, they say, radar caused the floods in Texas and other disasters. On July 6, they claimed credit for disabling a system in Oklahoma City at the height of tornado season.
Pensito Illustration It takes a lot of goading to illicit a Barack Obama reaction,
But Trump pushed his button with his “treason” accusation.
Trump went low to divert from Epstein,
Obama went lower, and got really mean:
“These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.”
Elon throttled Starlink because Ukranians were killing Russians,
But by throttling it, Elon enabled Russians to kill Ukranians.
So the world’s richest, weirdest guy,
Gets to decide who lives and who dies?
That’s too much power in the hands of a dude who wants to be a Martian.
“Stephen Miller is a stone-cold racist. His track record speaks for itself, and I’ve got zero interest in working with that kind of individual.”
— “House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries called White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a ‘stone-cold racist’ and said he can’t work with him,” Punchbowl News reports.
“Take, for example, the French Revolution. Remember when Marie Antoinette said, ‘Let them eat cake’? Now, is that a problem of accountability and tyranny, a corrupt government? Or is it a problem of affordability and standard of living? It’s both! Authoritarianism and tyranny are extremely expensive for the people. And it’s the exact same thing when you go down the line with Donald Trump. So, are we going to go after the corruption? Yeah, you’re damn right. And are we going to go after affordability and making people’s lives easier? Yeah, you’re damn right. We’re going to do both of them.”
“Here’s the problem with the red meat: It becomes an addiction. Once you go there and you put that out there, then you’re forced to defend it. So what do they do? They double down. They triple down again.”
— Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D), quoted by the Washington Post, on Republicans relying on anti-Muslim attacks in the Michigan U.S. Senate race.
<2>U.S. inflation was higher than expected last month as the rising prices that powered sweeping Democratic victories in last week’s midterm elections appear likely to pose ongoing challenges for the White House and the Federal Reserve, the Associated Press reported. The consumer price index rose 0.4% from September to October, the Labor Department said Tuesday, down from 0.6% the previous month. The government did not report a yearly inflation rate because last year’s government shutdown meant no data was released for October 2025. But excluding the volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 0.3%, the same as the preceding month. Both figures were a tenth of a point higher than forecast, and at an annual rate would be well above the Fed’s 2% target.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating held near the lowest level of his political career, depressed by national concerns over rising prices that tanked his Republican Party in last week’s midterm elections, according to ?a Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday. Some 32% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance ?in the White House, unchanged from two prior Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between late ?October and early November. It was one percentage point higher than his 31% rating ?in a Reuters/Ipsos poll in mid-October, the lowest of his career in politics, reported Reuters.
A record number of women are running for state legislative seats this November, more than two-thirds of whom are Democrats, reports Florida Phoenix. Across the 46 states with legislative seats on the ballot, a total of 3,824 women are running — up from 2022’s previous record of 3,621 women candidates, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. Women make up 35.5% of all state legislative candidates this cycle. Currently, women hold about one-third of state legislative seats across the country — a record level of representation but nowhere near parity.
“Prediction markets about the 2026 midterm elections have surpassed $1.4 billion in trading volume as Election Day fast approaches,” CNN reports. “This year has seen massive growth in the prediction industry, where people can bet on real-world events like sports, entertainment and the weather. While small-scale election markets have been around for a while, they gained traction before the 2024 presidential election and have seen huge numbers for the 2026 midterms.”
G. Elliot Morris: “Low-knowledge 2024 voters say they backed Trump by 8 points, according to our poll. Today they give him a net job approval of ?27, a 35-point shift. Compare that to Trump’s approval rating among voters who got both questions right: These voters backed Harris by 1 point and now give Trump a net ?24 approval, a 23-point shift. … Low-information voters have moved against Trump at a higher rate than high-information voters, by 12 points.”
