Tennessee 7th Race a Wake-up Call for GOP

December 3, 2025 Buck Banks

“This is one of the biggest flashing red light warning signs we’ve seen yet for Republicans. If every House district in the country shifted left by this same amount — about 15 points — we would be looking at a blue wave far worse than 2018.”

— Republican strategist Matt Whitlock, writing on X, on the Tennessee special House election last night.

Clueless in Kentucky

November 7, 2025 Buck Banks


Some people think of Kentuckians as uninformed, uneducated hicks,
But they want to exercise their right to vote, even in the sticks.
Kentucky’s secretary of state went to work,
Saying they couldn’t vote for mayor of New York,
But assured that Kentucky’s polls would open again for elections — in 2026.

On Tuesday Republicans saw an undeniable exposure of their party’s flaws,
And it’s clear that inflation, jobs and the shutdown were the cause.
Despite his obvious culpability,
Trump shirked all responsibility,
Asserting with caustic certainty, “I WASN’T ON THE BALLOT!” (Oh, but he was!)

Maduro’s Legal Woes
Buck Banks | Jan. 5, 2026

Today Nicolas Maduro was arraigned in New York on charges of narco-terrorism,
He pleaded “not guilty” and claimed to be a “decent man,” not a villain.
But Maduro got bad legal advice:
His lawyer forgot Trump Inherent Vice™ —
He should have pleaded guilty and then bought a Trump Pardon™ for two million.
