"Bag It All!"
He grabbed TVs, toasters, even a yak,
Crushed it all in his stretching sack.
Now half his junk litters the track--
But hey, he still thinks he’s got the knack!

Spanish has an expression that translates literally to "greed breaks the sack."

"Crest of Me"
Look at me, everyone — behold what I've made!
A wave of pure genius, magnificently displayed.
I'm the crest, I'm the crash, I'm the storm in the stone,
A marvel in motion, admired alone.

“Ode to the Fed”
O pillar quiet, you keep the peace,
A voice that bids the storm to cease.
But if you bend to kings or fools,
The temple breaks, and chaos rules.

Maggot heaven: Son, look at all that fresh meat! And so clueless! Indeed, Father. A most delicious feast awaits.

The shop lay in ruins, but the bully presented the key to the shop to the new owners with theatrical flair, as if destruction were just part of the service.

Isn't he doing his bestest to stir up a hornet's nest? It stands to reason he should get stung from all sides.

The real reason Trump has cooked up another distraction on Friday? (A regular thing, it seems)

I fact checked this map on ChatGPT. China is the largest trading partner for over 120 countries now. Trump's starting a trade war is just sel-defeating nonsense; like shooting yourself in the foot.

A ChatGPT poem to help you "to laugh to keep from crying" (just a little maybe). Trump and Vance's farce setup with Zelensky left me aghast again for the umpteenth time, maybe the worst time ever:
