In a stunning display of affection from The Centre and the American people....


Kennedy Center board votes to rename it ‘Trump Kennedy Center’




At an Oval Office event later in the day, Trump said he was “honored” and “surprised” by the vote.

“This was brought up by one of the very distinguished board members, and they voted on it, and there’s a lot of board members, and they voted unanimously,” he said.

By Thursday afternoon, the center’s website header was updated to read “The Trump Kennedy Center.”

“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X. “The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.”

This is a sad indictment of our society on many levels. 

A Salvation Army bell ringer  was shot and killed during a jacking by one of the little urban "teens" in the downriver shithole of Westland, Michigan.   This are a few of the responses from the leftist fringe:

The Shooter was a Wetback


He was a Portuguese national whose last known residence was in Miami, Florida, officials said during a news conference Thursday night.

He studied at Brown in 2000-2001 and then moved to the U.S. in 2017 after receiving a green card through a visa lottery program

There's something going on outside. High winds and snow. I don't know if the ice storm materialised. It's been a steady 72 degrees in my living room throughout. I just know that my distant ancestors prepared me for this moment. 'Out of Africa' was the original White Flight.

If you were or are dependent on some type of medical appliance...and I don't know what that would be... power outages would become a big deal.  I don't trust home generators because unless you regularly maintain them, they won't start, the field collapsed or they leak fuel or exhaust.  One time I was hired to clean out a burned-up house where some guy died  so it could be repaired. When I sorted through all the charred shit I found what looked like some kind of breathing apparatus. And in the closet there were a Detroit Fireman's uniforms, a fireman's helmet, some awards and statues of fireman related things.... Wow. The irony.  It made me wonder if it wasn't a really bizarre and sad suicide.
 Well...then....onward and upward!

I don't think you necessarily die if you lose power to these things:

Respiratory Support
CPAP Machines: For sleep apnea.
Oxygen Concentrators/Tanks: For oxygen therapy.
Nebulizers: Deliver medication in mist form for asthma/COPD.


I was thinking iron lung.

My coworkers gave me a voodoo doll and a “fuck this shot” coffee mug.
I love it

Christmas used to be a bigger deal because it took much more preparation than ordering a bunch of shit off Amazon. We used to have to go Christmas shopping and that kind of put you in the spirit because you'd maybe go to a restaurant and have some drinks too, maybe buy some shit for yourself, bring a girl....it was an event. Now it's just more of the same. Also, we as a nation need to start playing up the Christian component because America is the world's largest Christian nation.

I was negative for flu or Covid.
Do we still even care about Covid or have we thrown it on the pile of generic diseases we call "a cold" ?

The pandemic was a scam, Obamacare is a scam. The profits of those insurance companies went up like 2500% during the Biden Crime family's reign of corruption.




Profits Since the Affordable Care Act (2010–Present)

Since the ACA's passage in 2010, the health insurance industry has seen a massive expansion in both revenue and net income.

Total Profits: The top five U.S. health insurers (UnitedHealth, Cigna, Elevance, CVS/Aetna, and Humana) have collectively earned more than $371 billion in profit since 2010.

Annual Growth: Combined annual profits for the six largest insurers rose from $16.9 billion in 2010 to $60.7 billion by 2021.

Revenue Surge: Total industry revenue grew from $245.2 billion in 2010 to over $1.1 trillion by 2021.

Stock Market Performance: Between 2014 and 2018, health insurance stocks outperformed the S&P 500 by 106%.

Profits During the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020–2021)

The pandemic initially provided a massive financial boon for insurers due to a sudden drop in non-COVID medical claims.

Record 2020 Gains: In 2020, industry operating profits surged to $41.4 billion, a 52% increase from the $27 billion average seen between 2017 and 2019.

Net Income Spike: The industry experienced a 38.1% increase in net income from 2019 to 2020, making it the most profitable year since before the 2008 financial crisis

Biden and his cronies looted the Treasury to enrich themselves and to fund their scheme of destroying America and the West.

"President Donald Trump suspended the green card lottery program on Thursday that allowed the suspect in the Brown University and MIT shootings to come to the United States.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a post on the social platform X that, at Trump’s direction, she is ordering the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to pause the program.

“This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country,” she said of the suspect, Portuguese national Claudio Neves Valente."




"The diversity visa program makes up to 50,000 green cards available each year by lottery to people from countries that are little represented in the U.S., many of them in Africa "
