Wake up babe, new addition to the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine just dropped
Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, posts on Twitter: "President Trump ordered action--and the Department of War is delivering. Today, I'm announcing Operation SOUTHERN SPEAR. Led by Joint Task Force southern Spear and @SOUTHCOM, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland form the drugs that are killing our people. The Western Hemisphere is America's neighborhood--and we will protect it."

It really is the perfect visual metaphor for Trump's handling of the U.S. economy:
Trump stands, seeming almost paralyzed, as many others in the oval office rush to the aid of a man who has collapsed.

My personal favorite part of this latest insanity is how clear it is that he has ZERO clue what the House Appropriations Committee actually does.

When you have definitely, absolutely, 100%, without a doubt learned the lessons of history:
Donald Trump posts "Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" -- But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done! I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me. The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Just look at all the blocks he has there!

An image of late comedian Mitch Hedberg with his classic "escalator" joke: "An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an 'Escalator Temporarily Out of Order' sign, just 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"

I saw this many moons ago, but I think it makes the same point:
A man sitting on a park bench with thought bubbles including money, a car, an airplane, and a house. Next to him is a dog (presumably his), whose thought bubble is simply the current moment. The text "This is why the dog is happier" is at the bottom.

Redford did so much great work, but one lesser-known movie for which I have a lot of affection is "The Electric Horseman," about a rodeo rider who steals a prize racehorse to set it free. Soundtrack by co-star Willie Nelson, some great stunt work, and just a good time.
Robert Redford as rodeo rider Sonny Steele in "The Electric Horseman," riding the horse "Rising Star." Both are festooned with LED lights for a show in Las Vegas.

The Hudbandman, by H.L. Mencken, reading: "… LET the farmer, so far as I am concerned, be damned forevermore. To Hell with him, and bad luck to him. He is a tedious fraud and ignoramus, a cheap rogue and hypocrite, the eternal Jack of the human pack. He deserves all that he ever suffers under our economic system, and more. Any city man, not insane, who sheds tears for him is shedding tears of the crocodile. No more grasping, selfish and dishonest mammal, indeed, is known to students of the Anthropoidea. When the going is good for him he robs the rest of us up to the extreme limit of our endurance ; when the going is bad be comes bawling for help out of the public till. Has anyone ever heard of a farmer making any sacrifice of his own interests, however slight, to the common good ? Has anyone ever heard of a farmer practising or advocating any political idea that was not absolutely self-seeking – that was not, in fact, deliberately designed to loot the rest of us to his gain ? Greenbackism, free silver, the government guarantee of prices, bonuses, all the complex fiscal imbecilities of the cow State John Baptists – these are the contributions of the virtuous husbandmen to American political theory. There has never been a time, in good seasons or bad, when his hands were not itching for more ; there has never been a time when he was not ready to support any charlatan, however grotesque, who promised to get it for him. Only one issue ever fetches him, and that is the issue of his own profit. He must be promised something definite and valuable, to be paid to him alone, or he is off after some other mountebank…"

I can't believe I am saying this in the year of our lord 2025, but I really feel as though The Naked Gun has kind of captured the zeitgeist?
