Don’t Ask — Don’t!

February 18, 2016 Buck Banks

Debates just bring Marco Rubio down.
They turn his boyish smile into a frown.
So at South Carolina sessions,
He doesn’t take audience questions,
He’s holding town hall meetings without the “town.”

Missed that Race

February 9, 2016 Buck Banks

We’re all enjoying the Robo Marco campaign drama.
The bullies will soon send him crying to his mama.

Misguided little fella
That he’s not running for president against Barack Obama.

Endorsing Recordless Rubio

February 5, 2016February 5, 2016 Buck Banks

Rick dropped out and said of Marco, “I’m for him.”
But when asked for Rubio’s accomplishments, he couldn’t list ’em.
So when’s an endorsement
Mostly an impediment?
When it comes from a washed-up has-been like Rick Santorum.

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.

    $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.

    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.”
