<p><strong>KEGS-BREATH SPINS THE FACTS AND SPEWS THE BULLSHIT</strong></p>
<p>Sycophant of Defense, Peter &#8220;Kegs-breath&#8221; Hegseth’s bumbling press conference early this morning should have been an SNL skit. No need to hire an actor, though Jim Carey as <em>Ace Ventura: Pet Detective</em> nailed the creepy-cringe best. Or perhaps it was <em>LIAR LIAR</em>.</p>
<p>Kegger&#8217;s lengthy list of ludicrous lies, errrr I mean &#8220;responses&#8221; to media questions on Wednesday about the so-called Iran-U.S. &#8220;ceasefire&#8221; [1] was an astonishing display of self-delusion. I didn&#8217;t know whether to cry or laugh. All that was missing from the clown circus was the rampaging gorilla pounding his chest with a calliope as the soundtrack.</p>
<p><em>da da da da dada&#8230;.da da da da dada&#8230;dunda da dunda&#8230;.dunda dunda da da&#8230;..</em></p>
<blockquote><p>[Note 1: &#8220;Ceasefire,&#8221; my ass! Not even 18 hours have yet passed and meanwhile &#8212; Israel continues its ruthless military aggression in this unprovoked war with multiple attacks on Iran both yesterday and today. In their tit-for-tat response, Iran re-launched further attacks this morning on a number of Gulf-nation targets, including Kuwait. Oh, and Israel blasted more missiles into defenseless Lebanon today, more than any period of the war, so far &#8212; with more than 1,000,000 already homeless from that deliberate orchestrated war crime&#8230;&#8230;..and this is a CEASEFIRE? Perhaps someone can define what a fucking &#8220;WAR&#8221; is to me!]</p></blockquote>
<p>Watching and listening to Christian Nationalist Kegs-breath bragging about &#8220;peace in our time,&#8221; you&#8217;d think World War II had just ended. This wasn&#8217;t a cock walk, it was a chicken dance. We witnessed the boyish bluster and bravado that one expects out on a second-grade playground during recess quarreling over who gets to kick the ball.</p>
<p>By the way, Kegger, pro-tip: Those limp-ass suits you always wear look like they were plucked off a final clearance rack at Burlington. You look like you should be delivering a local weather report in Paducah, not representing the entire United States armed forces. Please. Go out and buy a decent suit&#8211;you can probably charge it to the taxpayer.</p>
<p>Quoting the bombastic self-congratulatory dimwit:</p>
<p>&#8220;[Iran] thought they could bleed America with impunity. Well, they just learned the hard way what happens when you try to fight us directly. The Iranians, humiliated and demoralized [2] &#8212; we control their fate, not the other way around. That&#8217;s why they came to the table.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>[Note 2: Huh? What? Excuse me? Run that by me again? I must be hearing things. What did you have for breakfast, Mr. Secretary &#8212; a keg of Bloody Mary&#8217;s? You say the Iranians were in your own words, &#8220;humiliated and demoralized?&#8221; Hmm, you might want to look at the scenes from Tehran today, &#8230;.pause.<br />
Note to Sec. Hogsbreath: Tehran is the capital of Iran. Now, please continue&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;.where they were waving Iranian flags and dancing in the streets. In fact, everyone living in the real world of sanity outside the crazed MAGAsphere recognized that Iran ******WON****** this conflict, at least to date, even if temporarily.</p></blockquote>
<p>Putting it in words that perhaps Kegger can understand, if this was halftime of a football game, you&#8217;re LOSING right now by two touchdowns, and your quarterback is Ryan Leaf hooked up to an oxygen tank and your coach is the guy calling plays for the New York Jets. But hey, ANY LIE gets swallowed by the dirt dumb MAGA base, reported on the FUX NEWS Network. Blowing tens of billions of dollars and getting humiliated on the world stage is what masquerades as &#8220;winning&#8221; in the Republic of Trumpistan.]</p>
<p>Continuing:</p>
<p>&#8220;You see, had Iran refused our terms, the next targets would have been their power plants, bridges, and oil and energy infrastructure, targets they could not defend and could not realistically rebuild. We were locked and loaded. President Trump had the power to cripple Iran&#8217;s entire economy in minutes. But he choose mercy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ooooof! Medic! Sorry, I just busted a testicle. What ??? Did he really say this? Trump &#8220;choose MERCY.&#8221; ???</p>
<p>You mean the same pedo-madman who only days ago threatened to bomb a country &#8220;back in the Stone Age&#8221; and &#8220;wipe out an entire civilization?&#8221; You mean that Ambassador of Mercy?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be clear: First, Iran did not &#8220;accept U.S. terms.&#8221; Quit. Fucking. Lying. Trump&#8217;s family bungalow of corrupt insider-trading flunkies accepted Iran&#8217;s terms. Remember, the repeatedly-stated Trump demand that the Strait of Hormuz be opened to shipping immediately? Well, guess what there, Sport. Guess who still controls that vital traffic waterway and is now even charging million-dollar tolls on all shipping? Go ahead, say it, admit it &#8212; it&#8217;s IRAN! You barking ass-lung.</p>
<p>Facts show, the United States gained NOTHING so far from this self-defeating, murderous, crazy crusade of a fiasco. The Trump regime was outplayed, out-negotiated, outmaneuvered, and ultimately humiliated by a bunch of Islamic fanatics&#8230;..which is pretty goddamned sad when you think about it. Seeing all the clever and creative social media posts by various Iranian officials who bitch-slapped and kicked ass was the ultimate illustration of shame. It&#8217;s pretty sad when your getting punked on social media by people whose minds are rooted in the 12th Century.</p>
<p>The final exchange with Kegs-breath is perhaps the most revealing of all:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8211; <strong>Media Question:</strong> &#8220;Iran has continued striking targets well into this morning. At what point are we beyond a grace period?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211;<strong> Sec. Hegseth Replies:</strong> &#8220;Iran would be wise to get the carrier pigeon to their troops out in remote locations to know not to shoot, not to shoot any longer.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Media Response: </strong>&#8220;But they&#8217;re still firing ballistic missiles!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8211; <strong>Sec. Hegseth Replies:</strong> &#8220;Excuse me, why are you so rude?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just &#8212;&#8212;- wow.</p>
<p>So weak and pathetic. My fellow Americans, this guy calls himself the &#8220;Secretary of War.&#8221;</p>
<p>If a war had a sad clown face, this is it.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#160; &#160; THE RISE AND FALL OF PLANET EARTH (EARTHRISE REDUX) There&#8217;s a painfully bitter irony to NASA&#8217;s Artemis space mission *up there* and what&#8217;s happening *down here* right now. Those brave astronauts up there remind us of what&#8217;s humanly possible when the best of us work together for something big. Meanwhile, down here on planet earth, the most powerful petty men of troubled nations push us to the very brink of self-destruction, while invoking divine providence. Think of the absurd polarity. A manned space rocket soars further and faster than any craft ever conceived or constructed in the history of human civilization; yet the same nation&#8217;s leader threatens to wipe out an entire civilization and bomb a country back into the Stone Age. Space exploration best demonstrates what we&#8217;re truly capable of when we work together in pursuit of knowledge and discovery to advance the common good. Extraordinary achievements in space have been a collaborative triumph between initiative, ingenuity, innovation, collective interest, and extraordinary individual courage. The sum of small parts can be something huge. Miracles are the antithesis of science, but given how far we&#8217;ve come and gone in such a short time, humankind&#8217;s greatest miracle has been space exploration. So, what if the following happens. What if Artemis returned back to earth in just a few days and found (gasp!) &#8212; no one here? That&#8217;s not entirely out of the question. Geopolitics has become a science-fiction movie. Nearly six decades ago, we saw the earth for the first time &#8212; as it looks from the distance of space. What a sight in the mirror. Soon thereafter named &#8220;Earthrise,&#8221; the photograph became one of the most powerful (and influential) images in human history. During the Apollo 8 mission to the moon, astronaut William Anders snapped the most famous photograph ever taken from a small window inside the space module. It was taken on Christmas Eve, December 24, 1968. The contrast between that breathtaking image of a big beautiful blue and white marble so silent in the vast darkness and yet seemingly so at peace with itself and the gargantuan forces of the galactic universe was an astounding contradiction to the real-world problems of that year 1968, certainly the most turbulent of my lifetime. The Cold War. Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). Half a million Americans fighting an insane war on the other side of the world. Conflict in the Middle East. The Culture War in China and a very different culture war in America. Race riots. Protests in the streets. Burning cities in chaos. The generation gap &#8212; old versus young. Ponder this painful fact: One third of the world&#8217;s population on that Christmas Eve went to bed hungry that night. Perhaps that&#8217;s why we need *moments*. Moments like this. Special moments. A pause. A break. A time to reflect. Even if it&#8217;s a few seconds to let our minds wonder and dream. With all that&#8217;s going on all over the world on this troubled day April 8, 2026&#8230;..pessimism, [&#8230;]</p>

<p><strong>THE RISE AND FALL OF PLANET EARTH (EARTHRISE REDUX)</strong></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a painfully bitter irony to <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/in-an-echo-of-apollo-8-nasas-artemis-ii-astronauts-witness-stunning/"><strong>NASA&#8217;s Artemis space mission</strong></a> *up there* and what&#8217;s happening *down here* right now.</p>

<p>So, what if the following happens. What if Artemis returned back to earth in just a few days and found (gasp!) &#8212; no one here? That&#8217;s not entirely out of the question. Geopolitics has become a science-fiction movie.<br />
Nearly six decades ago, we saw the earth for the first time &#8212; as it looks from the distance of space. What a sight in the mirror. Soon thereafter named &#8220;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthrise"><em><strong>Earthrise</strong></em></a>,&#8221; the photograph became one of the most powerful (and influential) images in human history.

With all that&#8217;s going on all over the world on this troubled day April 8, 2026&#8230;..pessimism, and perhaps even cynicism, is most certainly justified.</p>
<p>However, let&#8217;s also remember that we&#8217;ve been through these bleak periods of hopelessness before and we not only survived, but prospered, constructing one accomplishment upon another. History does have a way of repeating itself, for both bad and good.</p>
<p>Those looking for inspiration and a reason for optimism only need to look up at the sky and &#8212; like space itself &#8212; imagine those possibilities multiplied ad infinitum.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#160; &#160; TRUMPS &#8216;&#8221;SPIRITUAL ADVISOR&#8221; SHARES HER THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS Wrapped in a fresh new facelift that resembles frantically trying to stretch a queen-size fitted sheet over a king-size mattress while karate-chopping the tuck into a hopelessly stuffed crevice, here is Trump&#8217;s own personal &#8220;spiritual advisor&#8221; comparing him to the Lordy Jesus Christ on this holy (shit!) Easter Bunny Sunday. Meanwhile, in his own early morning social media post likely made from the epicenter of Western Civilization &#8212; the White House bedroom toilet &#8212; her cult mob boss threatened to murder millions of innocent men, women, children, pets, and goldfish&#8230;..dropped the fuck-bomb&#8230;.and slandered 1.3 billion Muslims. Ho hum&#8230;.just another Sunday morning in the Divided States of Madness in 2026. The giddy Christian Nationalist crackpot (see video of her &#8220;sermon&#8221; in the comments section, if you can bear to watch without screaming into a pillow) falsely asserted that Trump attends church services three times a week &#8212; which is a laughable assertion. In a painfully awkward Fox News segment, the prosperity gospel grifter&#8230;.err uhh preacher Paula White stated: “First off, to give honor to God and to President Trump for being bold and unwavering with his faith.” When asked specifically about how he demonstrates his faith in this so-called &#8220;holy day,&#8221; demon vixen said: “He (goes to church) sometimes three times a week … Saturday school, Sunday school, church. Church has been a big part of his life.” Huh ??? Trump&#8217;s “faith advisor” also has quite a resume. For the record: Paula White bolted the love nest on her first husband….then shit-canned her second hubby after cheating on him repeatedly….then she met and married a rich rock star….then she stole money from that husband’s bank account and embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars while scamming her idiot Christian fundamentalist followers in a giant Ponzi scheme. Wait, there&#8217;s more! Next….she ripped off nearly a million dollars from her “ministry” to pay for her private oceanfront mansion in Florida…then she skimmed over a million dollars in salaries to her family members….and then paid for her own private jet. Eventually, the church money ran out. She ran out of religious dopes to screw over. Incredibly, after bankrupting that church (called Without Walls International), she was charged with stealing $600,000 in audio-visual equipment from the old ministry, while the creditors (mostly small businesses) got stiffed when the church music stopped and they were left holding a bag of dicks. But wait! There&#8217;s still more! Trump&#8217;s spiritual advisor wasn’t finished with her grifting.

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>TRUMPS &#8216;&#8221;SPIRITUAL ADVISOR&#8221; SHARES HER THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS</strong></p>
<p>Wrapped in a fresh new facelift that resembles frantically trying to stretch a queen-size fitted sheet over a king-size mattress while karate-chopping the tuck into a hopelessly stuffed crevice, here is Trump&#8217;s own personal &#8220;spiritual advisor&#8221; comparing him to the Lordy Jesus Christ on this holy (shit!) Easter Bunny Sunday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, in his own early morning social media post likely made from the epicenter of Western Civilization &#8212; the White House bedroom toilet &#8212; her cult mob boss threatened to murder millions of innocent men, women, children, pets, and goldfish&#8230;..dropped the fuck-bomb&#8230;.and slandered 1.3 billion Muslims.</p>
<p>Ho hum&#8230;.just another Sunday morning in the Divided States of Madness in 2026.</p>
<p>The giddy Christian Nationalist crackpot (see video of her &#8220;sermon&#8221; in the comments section, if you can bear to watch without screaming into a pillow) falsely asserted that Trump attends church services three times a week &#8212; which is a laughable assertion. In a painfully awkward Fox News segment, the prosperity gospel grifter&#8230;.err uhh preacher Paula White stated:</p>
<p>“First off, to give honor to God and to President Trump for being bold and unwavering with his faith.”</p>
<p>When asked specifically about how he demonstrates his faith in this so-called &#8220;holy day,&#8221; demon vixen said:</p>
<p>“He (goes to church) sometimes three times a week … Saturday school, Sunday school, church. Church has been a big part of his life.”</p>
<p>Huh ???</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s “faith advisor” also has quite a resume. For the record:</p>
<p>Paula White bolted the love nest on her first husband….then shit-canned her second hubby after cheating on him repeatedly….then she met and married a rich rock star….then she stole money from that husband’s bank account and embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars while scamming her idiot Christian fundamentalist followers in a giant Ponzi scheme.</p>
<p>Wait, there&#8217;s more!</p>
<p>Next….she ripped off nearly a million dollars from her “ministry” to pay for her private oceanfront mansion in Florida…then she skimmed over a million dollars in salaries to her family members….and then paid for her own private jet. Eventually, the church money ran out. She ran out of religious dopes to screw over.<br />
Incredibly, after bankrupting that church (called Without Walls International), she was charged with stealing $600,000 in audio-visual equipment from the old ministry, while the creditors (mostly small businesses) got stiffed when the church music stopped and they were left holding a bag of dicks.</p>
<p>But wait! There&#8217;s still more!</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s spiritual advisor wasn’t finished with her grifting. While she was senior pastor at the next church of the holy suckers, a ploy designed to erase her past and avoid $29 million in old debts and lawsuits, that church filed for Chapter 11 federal bankruptcy protection–another one of God’s “miracles” of vanishing money since her ministries reportedly raked in $150 million in tithe donations yet somehow ended up dead fucking broke, despite being tax-exempt!</p>
<p>Then, while still married to one of her brood of husbands, White became embroiled in yet another scandal when she was photographed coming out of a hotel room holding hands with an evangelical tele-preacher named Benny Hinn. Faith o&#8217; flesh my Lord! A “Bible study” meeting, no doubt&#8212;-punctuated by screams of &#8220;Oh my God!&#8230;.harder!&#8230;.faster!&#8221;</p>
<p>Paula White is a believer in the farce known as the “prosperity gospel” translated which means that her God loves and blesses rich people. She’s praised quacks and despots, once referring to the Korean madman Sun Myung Moon (the crazed dead leader of the “Moonies”) as “a jewel from God.”<br />
She&#8217;s the perfect Trump con skunk.</p>
<p>Praise Jesus!</p>
<p>White has warned warned that “Christians that don’t support President Trump will have to answer to God.”</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#160; &#160; ALL TRUMP DOES IS LIE &#8212; ALL THE TIME, ABOUT EVERYTHING [AND NOW, IT&#8217;S COSTING AMERICAN LIVES AND BILLIONS IN WASTEFUL DESTRUCTION] 1. They LIED about the Iran War already being &#8220;won.&#8221; 2. They LIED about Iran&#8217;s nuclear stockpile being &#8220;obliterated.&#8221; 3. They LIED about Iran&#8217;s missile capabilities being &#8220;flattened.&#8221; 4. They LIED about Iran losing control of the skies, and the sea. 5. They LIED about diplomatic talks and alleged ceasefire negotiations, repeatedly making false statements about being &#8220;close&#8221; to an agreement. 6. They LIED about Iran&#8217;s military strength and its attack capabilities in the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. 7. They LIED about Iran&#8217;s ability to sell its oil on the world market and to successfully engage in financial transactions. 8. They LIED about the number of successful target strikes (many &#8220;hits&#8221; ended up being decoys, inoperable junk at storage facilities, and even painted lures intended to fool U.S. satellite imagery). 9. They LIED about their own intelligence, as was reported this week (U.S. intelligence agencies warned the Trump Regime and the Department of Defense that Iran still has a large stockpile of missiles and thousands of drones). 10. They LIED about Iran&#8217;s leadership being &#8220;wiped out.&#8221; 11. They LIED about the political assessment of Iranians rising up, overthrowing their hardline government, and instigating &#8220;regime change.&#8221; 12. They LIED about the United States committing a war crime, when in the earliest days American forces struck a girls school which murdered 170 innocent children. 13. They LIED about only going after &#8220;military targets&#8221; (now&#8211;hospitals, universities, and even bridges are being bombed&#8230;.World Health Organization has reported over 20 strikes on Iran health facilities). 14. They LIED repeatedly to the American people about the real cost of the war and the impact on domestic gas prices and energy. 15. They LIED about how long the Iran War would/will/might last. Their latest lie &#8212; &#8220;two more weeks.&#8221; (sound familiar?) But, we&#8217;re supposed to believe the Trump Regime and his flophouse of flunkies when they claim Iran was dangerously close to building a nuclear weapon and was getting ready to attack the United States &#8212; which was the entire &#8220;justification&#8221; that was given for this obscene war? With such and appalling record of demonstrable DISHONESTY, why would ANYONE believe Trump or his sick sycophants about ANYTHING? P.S.  Thank you for your attention in this matter.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>&#160; &#160; THE MOTIVE BEHIND POLITICAL &#8220;CONVERSION&#8221; REVEALS EVERYTHING Yesterday, I posted a short and quick video-reel rant which was diced with some humor asking how we should react to former MAGA activists and ex-Trumpers who finally see the light of day. I need to follow-up on that tirade today, because I left something out which is very important. That omission on my part is &#8212; MOTIVES. The MOTIVES behind political &#8220;conversation&#8221; tells us all we need to know. We must ask those who allegedly decide to leave the MAGA cult &#8212; what made them finally change their minds? Is it because the price of gas blew up as the direct cause of an insane and reckless war launched in the Middle East by Trump? Is it because of Trump&#8217;s idiotic tariffs on most imports which made everything cost more? Is it because many small businesses are now hurting due to labor shortages caused by cruel and counterproductive immigration excesses? Is it because investments are down and many 401Ks are suffering? Is it because they lost their jobs? Is it because rents are going up? Is it because they lost their health insurance? In other words, did they change their minds solely because of SELFISH reasons? Not exactly compelling evidence of a change of heart, I&#8217;d say. This isn&#8217;t grounds a new chapter in &#8220;Profiles in Courage,&#8221; is it? Someone who I know and respect messaged me last night saying I was wrong about this and that we should accept former Trumper converts no matter what their motives are. I certainly agree re-evaluation is a positive first-step in recovery. And, I hope some converts will vote for candidates who run against MAGA Trump loyalists. What questions and answers reveal on motives is &#8212; personal character. Those who convert for selfish motives apparently were perfectly fine with MANY YEARS of depravity&#8230;..all the felonies, the multiple bankruptcies, the rape verdict, the overt pedophilia, the cover ups, the appalling grifting, the insider-trading, the pardoning of insurrectionists, the draft-dodging, the sludge of inappropriate &#8220;jokes&#8221;, the multitude of insults, the threats to invade allies, the disruption of stability, the unbridled racism, the anti-trans rhetoric, the stupidity, the anti-intellectualism, the constant embarrassments, the tens of thousands of lies, a bungled new war, broken promises, and sick self-obsessions that border on mental dysfunction. All of that stuff &#8212; apparently was and is NO PROBLEM! But gas goes up a buck at the pump, and suddenly the selfish MAGA twits lose their shit and grow a conscious. Well, excuse my cynicism, okay? If something as solipsistic as financial self-interest is what it finally takes for them to stop guzzling toxic orange Kool-Aid, I&#8217;m fine with that. But also don&#8217;t expect me to welcome them with open arms, nor trust their sincerity. They might just as easily fall for the next big con. I can&#8217;t trust someone who has repeatedly been a cheerleader of so much fear and hate and have been on the WRONG side of every fucking [&#8230;]</p>
