Hungary for Democracy

April 13, 2026April 13, 2026 Buck Banks


It’s all over for Hungary’s dictator, Viktor Orban,
For 16 years he was the country’s hard-right strongman.
But democracy’s a stubborn bitch,
And voters wanted a liberal switch,
And that’s how Hungary’s Viktor Orban got shit-canned.

Poetic Justice

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.

    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.
