REVIEW and ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dr. Jerry Goebel
As Republicans in the Senate scramble to shaft the US with the OBBB, we can rest assured they are staying up all night to take your money away and give it to their billionaire handlers.
Visual Stories!
The OBBB (One, Big, Beautiful, Bill) is the largest redistribution of wealth since Reaganomics, this time brought to you by Donny and The Grifters.

With the Big, Beautiful Bill, You Can Now Sponsor a Billionaire of Your Choosing
The Atlantic is not prone to sarcasm, so it was with interest (and some delight) that I read this commentary. According to the writer, Alexandra Petri, the OBBB (One Big Beautiful Bill) gives us each a chance to live vicariously through a billionaire of our choice. We get to watch them spend tens of millions to rent Venice for a three-day wedding, buy a larger yacht, or three more helicopters. We get to watch our tax dollars be taken out of medical care, infrastructure, and schools and put into research on living forever, living on Mars, or living with cosmetic transplants. Why wouldn’t Republicans vote for this? Why wouldn’t they continue to line their own pockets with ways to make their lobbyists richer? This is not the OBBB, it is the OOBB; One Obscene Big Bill that the Republican Senate is scrambling to pass so 47 can have it on his desk for (ironically) Independence Day.

The Republicans Are About to Get Away With the Most Outrageous Lies
What’s the first lie of being a Republican? “We represent you…” The truth is, they represent those with wealth and, increasingly, they represent President 47 and Project 2025. That translates into rights for white males, conservative evangelism, and the richest of the rich. The hypocritical pronouncements of Josh Hawley and Lisa Murkowski face the light of day this week. The gross grifting of Elon Musk, Stephen Miller, Ron DeSantis, and Kristi Noem is all on display for your viewing disgust. Along with their President, they have taken grift to a new level, and this OBBB will lock in their graft for generations to come. Disgusting…

Yes, the Iran Mission Was Successful. No, We Are Not Taking Questions.
This parody of the “press shouting match” by Trump sycophant, Pete Hegseth, is worth the tongue-in-cheek read. Hegseth’s own mother, Penelope, said in an e-mail, “He mistreated women and displayed a lack of character.” Hegseth says it is too early to tell what the results of the bombing had on Iran’s nuclear facility, but that Trump’s claim that they were “obliterated” is correct. Can you really have it both ways? If it’s too early to tell, isn’t it also too early to conclusively say they were completely destroyed? No wonder few people trust this administration.

MAGA Dope Pete Hegseth Accidentally Exposes Trump’s Vile Scam on Iran
Trump sycophant, Pete Hegseth, proved a number of things yesterday. When you know you’re caught in a lie, get louder and more aggressive. Lately, we have seen the President drop not only bunker-busting bombs on Iran, but also F-Bombs at the media. The Vice-President flipped the crowd off in a profanity-laced speech at a Republican fund-raising dinner. Judicial nominee, Emil Bove III, told aides to tell federal judges to “F-Off,” and Hegseth yelled in his most screechy fingernails-on-a-blackboard voice at the media during a press conference at NATO. All of this to say, we are not going to get truth from this administration. The press is comparing its conferences with White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, to press conferences in North Korea. What Hegseth reveals is that this administration is peddling a tale that will only fit with the Trump talking points.

Trump Will Be Left Cursing His ‘Mission Accomplished’ Moment
This president is like a spoiled teen that took a stick and whacked a hornet’s nest in the middle of a village, all while everyone else was telling him not to. He did not destroy that nest (though he says he did), and now the village must bring in responsible adults to fix the mess he caused. Of course, the administration is denying the leaked reports of Iran’s continued capability to create nuclear weapons. Of course, 47’s administration is going to swear at (and flip off) anyone who contradicts them. But despite their feverish denials, it appears Iran moved most of its nuclear bomb-making material to other locations prior to the strike last week. It also appears the facility was not “obliterated,” but instead, damaged and may face a three-month setback. What happens once that setback is overcome? Obama had a nuclear treaty with this country, and this same spoiled teen (President 45) broke that agreement because… well, because Obama created it. Is this president most upset because his mission largely failed or because it is a definite setback to his plans of getting a Nobel Peace Prize? He’s never been good at making things, excellent at breaking things; what next, Donnie?
