Oh my Goodness! Headlines in newspapers from one of our closest allies across the pond are just filleting DJT for his comments about Volodymyr Zelenskeyy. Remember my question yesterday of who would have more respect if a poll were done globally – Volodymyr or Donald? No question where the United Kingdom stands on that. The headlines read “‘Shameful’ Trump attack stuns world.” “Putin’s poodle: Orange Manbaby blames UKRAINE for being invaded.” “Trump appals world with ‘dictator’ blast at Zelensky.”

Not only are the Brit newspapers roasting the Donald, but even the conservative N.Y. Post newspaper owned by conservative billionaire Rupert Murdoch torched the Orange baby Jesus this morning with their front-page headline: “PRESIDENT TRUMP: THIS IS A DICTATOR,” with a full page photo of Vladimir Putin.

31 days into the new regime and already things ain’t lookin’ too good for the genius. Our allies aren’t happy with the direction the USA is headed and we are being seen as the dog that crapped on your carpet; the highly touted DOGE, rather than exhibiting governmental efficiency, has given us a front row display of how to perform a cluster f**k; MAGA’s are starting to realize they voted for a con man who has probably never cracked an egg in his life nor shopped in a grocery store; federal workers who voted for their boss are just shocked that they have been fired and wonder how they are going to put food on the table, pay their rent, and make that car payment; farmers who thought they were immune from any overhaul are now wondering what the hell just happened; law abiding citizens who are po’d seeing a bunch of felons walking out the prison gates with a big ol’ tRump smirk on their face, and; GOP Representatives getting loudly booed in deep-red Trump voting districts while trying to hold a Town Hall meeting. I’m glad popcorn is a healthy snack because I’m starting to eat alot of it. How about you?

After firing 1,000 National Park Service workers last Friday, dubbed the “Valentine’s Day massacre,” it looks like clearer heads have talked some sense into King Don’s head and he once again has backtracked after realizing what a stupid move that was. The National Park Service is one of the most popular agencies in the government and many of those fired were the day-to-day workers who make our National Parks the Crown Jewel they are. If you’re going to get rid of people to make the operation more efficient you get rid of the higher paid administrators who sit in their offices and do the white collar work, not the guys and gals who are at the park entrances letting you into the park, the ones who clean the bathrooms and do the maintenance requirements, the ones whose job it is to keep the parks safe or provide emergency services if someone is hurt in the park. These were the people who were let go. I give a shout out to Olek Chumura, a fired maintenance worker at Yosemite who went on his Instagram account to question whether he and his colleagues were examples of the wasteful spending that Trump and Musk claim to be trying to eliminate. “I make just over $40,000 a year; scrape s— off toilets with a putty knife nearly every day,” Chmura wrote. “Somehow, I’m the target.” He quickly became the poster child for the fired workers and was interviewed on just about every News station there is. I saw him being interviewed several times. He’s a guy that loves living in Yosemite to work, play, and keep the toilet seats clean. Conservative friends from Ohio, who have seen him on Instagram and TV, have reached out and said, “This is not what I voted for, this is … insane,” Chmura said.

Finally, last night the Canadians got the last laugh. After spouting off over the past few weeks about making Canada our 51st state and posting on X before last night’s championship hockey match in which the USA lost 3-2 in overtime, the Trumpster has been demoted to Premier of Canada’s new 11th Province. Justin Trudeau is basking in the big win. ‘And just like that, we welcome the former United States of America as our 11th province. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to the metric system.’

And just like that I am going to close this rambling for the day. It’s Friday!! Have a great one!!!! Ziggyman
