On Hormuz, Shoes and News

March 13, 2026March 23, 2026 Buck Banks


While Iran is closing down the Straits of Hormuz,
Trump’s buying cabinet members Florsheim shoes.
He’s not focused on the war,
But he’s on top of the decor,
Would someone please make Trump watch something besides Fox News?

Out of Focus

March 11, 2026March 22, 2026 Buck Banks


At the Pentagon, the Fourth Estate is taking a battering,
With the top-tier media outlets reduced to woolgathering.
And as if to add insult to injury,
Pete Hegseth, in a narcissistic fury,
Banned photographers for taking photos he said were “unflattering.”

Mission Inexplicable

March 5, 2026March 11, 2026 Buck Banks


About Donald Trump’s War on Iran, there’s something amiss,
The administration’s explanations and objectives defy analysis.
And on the topic of American casualties,
Trump commented, most callously:
“There will likely be more before it ends. That’s the way it is.”

Word Salad of War

March 4, 2026March 10, 2026 Buck Banks


As we watch markets fall and gas prices rise, Americans want to know more.
Like, if we’re bombing hell out if Iran, how is that not a war?
Oh, Iran represented an eventual immediate threat,
And regime change seemed like a pretty good bet,
But with such obscure objectives, how will we know when Iran is done for?

Today’s Version of the Daily Diversion

February 28, 2026March 7, 2026 Buck Banks


The Trump administration rarely bothers with a strategy or plan,
Preferring to sow chaos and disruption whenever they can.
Every day they must come up with some,
New Epstein-file coverup diversion,
And that, Dear Reader, is why the United States is making war on Iran.

Beam Me Info, Scotty

February 20, 2026February 28, 2026 Buck Banks


Crank up them quantum computers, atomic clocks and Mars space stations,
We’re teetering on the edge of a technological revelation.
We sent it from here and we know where it went,
Even though we only received ninety percent,
But we’ve undoubtably achieved the teleportation of quantum information!

A Lie Too Far

February 18, 2026February 18, 2026 Buck Banks

Tricia McLaughlin, DHS mouthpiece, we bid you a hearty goodbye,
We’re holding back our liberal tears and stifling leftist sighs.
Why she picked now to go,
Nobody seems to know,
But perhaps she hit her limit and just couldn’t tell one more lie.

I Remember Presidents Day

February 16, 2026February 24, 2026 Buck Banks


This Trump administration is really something,
Ignoringing the rule of law, grifting off everything.
So, on this auspicious Presidents Day,
I just wanted to take a moment to say,
Remember back when we had a president and not a mad king?

What Would Q Do?

February 8, 2026February 16, 2026 Buck Banks


Since 4chan in 2017 the QAnon conspiracy has been going strong,
Though the theory of a cabal of cannibal pedophiles could be wrong.
But now the facts emerging from the Epstein files
Have us starting to question our wits and wiles,
And beginning to wonder if the QAnon believers were right all along.

Prescription for Obfuscation

February 6, 2026February 11, 2026 Buck Banks


For Donald Trump, media manipulation is almost a reflex,
Which is how we got to his latest diversion: TrumpRx.
It’s certainly not an affordability solution,
But it is a rather effective prescription
To divert attention away from the Epstein files and illegal sex.

Red Meat Rhetoric
Buck Banks | Apr. 29, 2026

The current state of our national political debate is pathetic,
And politicians’ performative stunts make us crave an emetic.
But when the bullets start flying,
Both sides start denying:
Saying MY violent rhetoric is less violent than YOUR violent rhetoric.

Verbatim

    “This administration is dripping with corruption from top to bottom, but rushing a settlement to steal $1.7 billion taxpayer dollars for a slush fund before a judge can toss your junk lawsuit would be among the most corrupt acts in American political history. This lawsuit has never been anything more than a shakedown of the American people by a crook president and his crook lawyers.”

    — Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), quoted by CNBC, on the reported settlement proposal the Justice Department has with President Trump for his lawsuit against the IRS.

    “Thank you for everything you’ve done for the country. To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow: Good night, and good luck, motherf**kers.”

    — David Letterman, quoted by CNN, speaking to Stephen Colbert as “The Late Show” ends its 33-year run on CBS.

    “They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.”

    — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), speaking at the University of Chicago.

    3.8%

    Wall Street Journal: “Consumer prices rose 3.8% in April from a year earlier, a clear impact of higher gas prices since the start of the war with Iran. … The figures, reported Tuesday by the Labor Department, surpassed the previous month’s reported increase of 3.3%. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had expected inflation of 3.7%.”

    56%

    A survey of 1,000 Americans conducted by YouGov on behalf of NewsGuard found that 24 percent believe the foiled attack by a gunman on April 25 was not a real attempt to kill Trump, the Daily Beast Reports. When expanded to include those who believe the assassination attempt was staged or are “unsure,” the figure rises significantly to 56 percent. Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) also believe that at least one of the assassination attempts against the president—the WHCD dinner incident, the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024, or the foiled attack at one of Trump’s Florida golf courses in September 2024—was staged.

    “About 352,000 Russian soldiers had died in the war against Ukraine through the end of 2025, according to a new estimate, underscoring the high cost that President Vladimir V. Putin is willing to bear to pursue his battlefield aims,” the New York Times reports.

    115,000

    America’s employers delivered a surprising 115,000 new jobs last month despite an economic shock from the Iran war, reported the AP. Hiring beat the 65,000 jobs forecasters had expected, though it decelerated from the 185,000 jobs created in March. The unemployment rate remained at a low 4.3%, the Labor Department reported Friday.

    228

    Washington Post: “Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures or pieces of equipment at U.S. military sites across the Middle East since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft and key radar, communications and air defense equipment. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.”
