Year: 2026

The Low Road

August 11, 2026 Buck Banks


The contractor Trump hired was under-qualified and overpaid,
Though Trump says it was done by vandals with sharp blades.
But the damage wasn’t done by an Olympian vandal,
Trump did it himself, which is why it’s a scandal:
The Reflecting Pool was ruined by Trump’s 10-SUV motorcade.

Flight of Fancy

August 10, 2026 Buck Banks


Ron DeSantis once was one of the GOP’s rising stars,
But he fell from grace so very fast and so very far.
Congress gave Florida a $197 million allocation
Earmarked for electric car charging stations,
But DeSaneless would rather fund landing pads for flying cars.

Hey, JD, Can You Define Fraud?

August 7, 2026 Buck Banks

“If you are committing fraud against the American people, all of us in public leadership should be trying to stop it and throw you in prison for enriching yourself off the American taxpayer.”

— Vice President JD Vance, on Fox News.

Binds that Tie

August 7, 2026 Buck Banks


JD Vance’s social awkwardness extends into his married life,
Because he can’t stop referring to Usha as his “Indian wife.”
JD has also said he’s still wishin’
That Usha wasn’t Hindu, but Christian,
And that’s why JD’s looking down a very long road of marital strife.

‘No Gag Reflex’

August 3, 2026August 3, 2026 Buck Banks


He’s upended the traditional food pyramid, he wants you to know,
And he’s protected us from vaccinations, though not measles and polio.
He’s tackling the goal of food affordability,
He’s extolling roadkill, which is cheap — there’s plenty!
And now Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is going to have his own TV cooking show.

Another Broken Promise

July 31, 2026 Buck Banks


The Trump administration just ended a Medicare Plan D drug subsidy,
They repeatedly said, “Hands off Medicare,” so this is true treachery.
Coming on the eve of the 2026 midterms,
It’s making Republican lawmakers squirm,
So they don’t believe in “affordability,” but how about “electability?”

El-Sayed Calls B.S. on Democratic Party

July 31, 2026 Buck Banks

Resting in Peace

July 30, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump’s relationship to his “friends” is impugnable,
The late Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is a prime example.
Trump delivered a pro-forma eulogy —
A product of his diseased psychology,
And then he fell asleep during Lindsey Graham’s state funeral.

Toxin Got Johnson

July 28, 2026 Buck Banks


Speaker Mike Johnson is an odious, Bible-thumping little twit,
Between Trump’s ire and contentious colleagues, he’s in a snit.
With nothing happening in the House,
One might expect the speaker to grouse,
And for once we agree — like Mike said: “I’m sick of this shit.”

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.

    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%

    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.”
