Lame Enhanced Games

June 3, 2026June 26, 2026 Buck Banks

When Peter Thiel and Don Jr. funded the Enhanced Games, they had one hope:
That Olympic-level athletes would perform better when competing on dope.
But world records went unbroken
And Pete and Donnie took a soakin’,
Now they’re stuck, sliding down that slippery, money-losing transhumanism slope.

A Media Catch-22

June 2, 2026June 18, 2026 Buck Banks


Pentqgon Pete’s “Defensive” Department’s created a new Catch-22,
Hegseth’s war on the media is petty, but what’s a Fox host to do?
By designating the room “classified,”
He’s left reporters hamstrung and hog-tied,
Because the PRESS can’t access the Pentagon PRESS office, they’re screwed.

Bothersome Biden Babble

May 30, 2026 Buck Banks


The Dems want to move on from 2024, but the Bidens won’t let them go.
Jill’s out with her memoir and making the rounds of the talk shows.
Joe’s suing the Department of Justice,
Hunter’s doing far-right podcasts,
Please just shut the F up Bidens, that means you: Hunter, Jill and Joe!

Pope Broke Kids’ Trope

May 29, 2026 Buck Banks


The pope is God’s earthbound representative of heaven,
He prays, shepherds his flock and offers communion.
But Pope Leo is cool,
He’s nobody’s fool,
Although he did just ruin the kids’ internet meme, “6-7.”

The Great Negotiator

May 28, 2026June 9, 2026 Buck Banks


In negotiating with Iran, Trump can’t just pull a deal off the shelf,
Not after starting the war and then asking NATO allies for help.
The guy from “The Art of the Deal”
Is only good at the Art of the Steal,
And then he’s a great negotiator when he’s self-dealing with himself.

That Benighted Burgum

May 27, 2026 Buck Banks


Trump’s Interior secretary Doug Burgum is a dope.
Oval Office photo ops are the extent of his scope.
Still, he went on Fox News
To share his idiotic views,
And criticized the encyclical penned by the Pope.

From Prop to Slop

May 24, 2026June 6, 2026 Buck Banks


Most authoritarians support their regime with propaganda,
It scores points with other dictators to whom they pander.
But Trump’s the kind of guy
Who likes to use AI,
Which is why his odious output qualifies as “slopaganda.”

Musk Fuss Tossed

May 19, 2026 Buck Banks


It was a lawsuit about deceit, artificial intelligence and market manipulation,
As the courtroom drama between Musk and Altman gripped a war-weary nation.
In the end the jury found there was no crime,
Just Elon Musk’s ketamine-addled sense of time.
What did him in wasn’t a lofty principle, it was a three-year statute of limitations.

Trump Skips His Prayer Rally

May 18, 2026 Buck Banks


For once, Trump staged an event that didn’t seem to be too grifty,
It was a taxpayer-funded religious event called Rededicate 250.
Trump sent a tape from April — his speech was plodding,
But he wasn’t there because instead he went golfing,
So he missed the prayers and hymns and Christians who attended — sparsely.

Dearly Departed DNC

May 16, 2026 Buck Banks


If the DNC won’t release its 2024 election autopsy, it can’t be read,
Anyway, it’s probably just a lot of finger pointing he said/she said.
Still, enquiring minds want to know
What happened in the 2024 shit show,
Not that it much matters because the subject of the autopsy’s still dead.

Ass in a Morass
Buck Banks | Jul. 24, 2026

Trump and the Iranians seem to be in different realities,
Though they share a callousness toward the war’s casualties.
Is Trump insane
Or just insanely vain?
And how can we extract ourselves from his “Quagmire of the Vanities?”

    “If any politician wants to get mothers on their side, they should adopt this issue. It’s such an obvious electoral winner. And what I’ve learned is there is no force in the universe stronger than mothers trying to protect their kids.”

    — Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, quoted by Politico, on the threats posed by social media and artificial intelligence.

    “Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021,” CNN reports. “Harp posted more than 150 tweets that day, urging Republicans to ‘FIGHT FOR TRUMP’ as he began his speech near the White House. She echoed the president’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden’s election win. Harp’s X account appears suspended. It’s unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts.”

    $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.
