Modern Populism’s Cynicism

July 13, 2026August 7, 2026 Buck Banks


From Donald Trump the world’s modern populists are taking a cue,
When scandal erupts they dish out a helping of “deep state” stew.
If a cabal of elites attacks democracy,
The modern populists cry out “WWTD!”
For when globalists attack, modern populists ask, “What Would Trump Do?”

Ersatz Filial Piety

July 12, 2026July 31, 2026 Buck Banks


Eric Trump got the Palm Beach airport renamed in honor of his pop,
But the vain attempt to curry favor with daddy was bound to flop.
See, the logo Eric provided
Has now widely been derided
As just another instance of half-assed Trump-produced AI slop.

Kicking EAC’s Ass

July 10, 2026 Buck Banks


Donald Trump is determined to influence the 2026 midterm election,
And the subservient conservative Supreme Court gave him permission.
Trump fired the Democrats on the EAC,
And how that effects the midterms, we’ll see,
But the mob boss likely will get his way — through subversion and coercion.

Where Credit Is Due

July 9, 2026 Buck Banks


When Walmart slashes prices, you can’t ignore it.
If it means more affordable food, you have to adore it.
Donald Trump is allergic to “affordability,”
Unless it’s someone else’s liability,
So when Walmart cut costs, Trump shabbily tried to take credit for it.

20 Minutes with Mitch

July 8, 2026July 24, 2026 Buck Banks


The recent news out of Kentucky was just awful,
They found the senator unconscious and horizontal.
And since his hospitalization,
There’s been little news about his condition,
But now everybody’s having a 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.

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.

    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.”
