āI Burned My MAGA Hatā is a hilarious and scathing pop-country protest song told from the perspective of a disillusioned MAGA supporter who’s had enough of Trump’s lies, Epstein secrets, and authoritarian nonsense. With biting lyrics, twangy humor, and a backyard bonfire of regret, this parody skewers the cult of personality surrounding Donald Trump and calls out MAGA loyalists now waking up to the con. If you’re fed up with the hypocrisy, secrecy, and swampier-than-ever GOP, this satirical anthem is your new political breakup song. Perfect for fans of musical comedy, political satire, and country tunes with guts.
Maybe by his example, others will finally come around.

So Kegsbreath says he didnāt order the second strike on survivors clinging to wreckage in the Caribbean. 7 sources in a WaPo order claim he did. Well, regardless, someone ordered it. WaPo.
BTW, those two songs could get me to like some country music.
Awwwā¦..the poor little babies want to burn their little red hatsā¦..
But we know why they bought them to begin withā¦..and kept them ā¦..for 10 years, releasing shit-tons of pure evil into our lives.
Yeah, okā¦.burn your stupid hat but the stench will still remain right there.
Itās gonna take more than hat-burning ya bunch of butt-cleavages.
āOh, Iām so sorry you had to burn your cute little RACIST headgear.ā
Pogeaux, I get yer drift about country music but for me country music effing DIED quite a ways back. Off life support. Flushed down the drain. Theyāll have to do more than burn a few hats.
Firstā¦.they could invite the Dixie Chicks to the
Opry and present them some kind of huge Award.
Country Music (I use the term disparagingly)
DEADā¦..Do Not Resuscitate.
One of these days, maybe Iāll tell the tale of My Last Gig In Nashville. Itās a corker of a yarn and highlights the naked raw greed of the fine folks who bring you what they call music. Nothing bad to MEā¦..but those rat bastards just about ruined the lives of a little lady and her husband from Denver who they kept telling that she could be the next Dolly Partonā¦ā¦until the money ran outā¦..then it was a busy signal at the office.
And weāre talking a LOT of money here. He was a heavy equipment operator in the mountains and made good money which he was fully prepared to spend to give her her dream of becoming a country star.
PUBLIC SOURS ON DEPORTATIONS
Support is tanking: 47% ā”ļø 38% in less than a year. Independents are bailing fast. š Support still falling.
Craig & Jamie break down the new numbers and what they mean for the midterms:
Just a snapshot of the money: Carol and her husband had a nice mountain overlook home and sheād been working this fine little Denver gig at the Traildust Steak House. So when she decided they wanted to go for it they called Nashville to see what they could see. Nashville told them that they liked her demo tape and would be her manager for $1500 a month. So after a few months of that, they told her she needed to get to Nashville NOW and cut her album. Carol and the mister leased out their mountain home, bought a ridiculously expensive Executive Motor Home and off to Nashville they went. They made the album with the help of some mighty fine (and very expensive) studio moo-Jicians. They had boxes of cassette tapes made, post cards, printed promo materialā¦..boxes and boxes of stuff . The figure I heard was $30k for the album. Thats a lotta dough.
This is about where I came into it. At the time my line of work was putting together a band to go on the road couple weeks at a time with would-be stars who could get booked a bit after theyād paid to have a record made. So Carol has the album and the Tour Bus and the promo stuff and as the husband is complaining about all spend and no income the big managing group books them into 6 weeks in Nebraska. 2 in one place, 2 more somewhere else and then a 3rd 2 another venue This is where Enter Sturgeone with his backing band.
We rehearsed the show for 2 weeks and Ruester and I jumped on the bus for a 6 week tour and off we go.
In the middle of the 2nd week we got word that the next 2 weeks had been cancelled. We piled into Carolās room as she called Nashville.
Nashville said to come on back and re-group . (Still $1500 per month) Husband politely objects, spending too much, please book us somewhere else.
The big managing on the phone says, āWell, if you donāt like the way weāre handling you maybe you better try somewhere else.ā
C L I C K
He hung up. Mr Roman dint say a word all the way back. Carol CRIED all the way back. All the way.
We got to the office in Nashville and Mr Roman went in looking for a head to bite off but there was no one inside but secretaries, everyone else was -poof- Gone.
I called a friend and moved to Ft Walton.
March, 1982. Those people in Nashville, they had their own Building. Youād recognize the name if you heard it.
Sturgā¦, I had to do a double take of the artist list I heard over the holidays when I heard them say Susan Tedeschi would be a guest for the ACM Awards. Now itās very possible that Iāve missed performances of things from her country roots, but aside from an absolutely wonderful version of Angel from Montgomery, Iāve never heard anything that resembled country music coming out of her mouth.
There is still good country music being made by very good people and players, just not much recorded, only garbage.
Oh Canada!
So the CMAs tonight are a rerun of the 11/19 awards show. Hmmm , guess Iāll see if I can find that performance on YouTubeā¦.
today’s meme…
meme #2…
In the dim dark past I worked as the National Sales and Public Service director for two Country radio stations. KFRE was old classic country and KNAX was modern country (i.e. the emergence of Garth Brooks, George Strait etc). The slogan when KNAX did the midnight switch from adult contemporary to country was – “Rock and Roll grew up and moved to the country”.
A good reason to mind your Ps and Qs before carrying out an order. Leaky Pete will throw you under the bus. He will not take responsibility for anything negative, only credit for things deemed good. Heās batting zero.
Maybe the Kill Order came from āhigher upā.
Is our little soldier boy throwing his CIC under the tank?
That thought is very temptingā¦ā¦
meme #3…
Those Nashvillains from their first contact with Carol proceeded to hook her and by telling her how big a star she was gonna be (utter lies) reeled her in and then squeezed every last penny until when they realized there would be no more Penneysā¦ā¦..sayonara
Most back then came to town spent $500 or so making a 45 rpm recor or a little more for two. A little expensive but not ruinous. They probably made fun of Carol for years.

President Donald Trump said heāll release the results of his MRI test that he received in October.
āIf you want to have it released, Iāll release it,ā the Republican president said Sunday during an exchange with reporters as he traveled back to Washington from Florida.
He said the results of the MRI were āperfect.ā
The White House has declined to detail why Trump had an MRI during his physical in October or on what part of his body.
The press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has said that the president received āadvanced imagingā at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center āas part of his routine physical examinationā and that the results showed Trump remains in āexceptional physical health.ā
Trump added Sunday that he has āno ideaā on what part of his body he got the MRI.
āIt was just an MRI,ā he said. āWhat part of the body? It wasnāt the brain because I took a cognitive test and I aced it.ā

https://njsbf.org/2025/04/24/from-convict-leasing-to-todays-prison-labor-system/
The convict leasing system ended in 1928; however, prison labor still remains big business in the United States today. According to a 2022 ACLU report, Captive Labor: Exploitation of Incarcerated Workers, across the country āincarcerated workers produce more than $2 billion per year in goods and more than $9 billion per year in services for the maintenance of prisons.ā Some states, according to the report, pay the inmates nothing, other states pay pennies per hour. The ACLU report revealed that inmates āearn, on average, between 13 cents and 52 cents per hour nationwide.ā
In states where inmates earn something for their labor, according to the ACLU, the state government takes up to 80% of the wages for āroom and boardā and other fees associated with maintaining the prison facility. The ACLU also notes in its report that prison laborers, nationwide, are not covered by workplace safety and labor laws. That means if a prisoner is hurt while working, they have little recourse to file a complaint.
According to a 2025 report published by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank, āin seven Southern statesāAlabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texasāalmost all work by prisoners remains unpaid.ā The report states there are approximately 1.2 million people incarcerated in state and federal prisons, and ānearly 800,000 are prison laborers,ā meaning they work for the prisons that house them.
In addition, the EPI report states that 17% of these prisoners work for government-run businesses, āwhere they might staff DMV call centers or wash laundry for public hospitals, or work on public projects, where they might be tasked with hazardous spill cleanup or firefighting duties in state-owned forests.ā The other 3%, according to EPIās report, work for āprivate-sector employers, where they earn meager wages producing goods and services for industries across the U.S. economy.ā

White House ‘throws the military under the bus’ after Leavitt confirms second strike order
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday responded to questions about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s alleged order to fire on boat strike survivors a second time. Her comments appear to try and absolve Hegseth of direct responsibility, prompting a flood of reactions, with one commentator saying it was “not making this any better.”
Last week, the Washington Post released a report claiming that Secretary of Defense Hegseth, back on Sept. 2, ordered a second strike on individuals who had seemingly survived an initial strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea. The Trump administration has defended these strikes, claiming the targets to be “narcoterrorists” involved in drug trafficking. Despite that stance, they have not been able to provide evidence of their claims, and critics argue that the unilateral strikes would still be illegal even if there target were provably criminals.
On Monday, Leavitt was pressed on the report and claimed that Hegseth had given a directive to Admiral Frank M. Bradley, who then ordered the second strike.
This appeared to confirm that the strike occurred and was undertaken deliberately, despite a prior comment from Pentagon press secretary Sean Parnell claiming that the “entire narrative was false.”
“With respect to the strikes in question on Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes,” Leavitt said. “Admiral Bradley worked well within his authority and the law, directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated.”
Reacting to the comments, former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a prominent GOP critic of President Donald Trump, suggested that Hegseth was preparing to cast all blame for the strike onto others. Referencing a recent video released by Democrat lawmakers, he also said the strike was further proof of why military members must ignore unlawful orders.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/18/politics/caribbean-boat-strike-survivors
The US released the two survivors of Thursdayās [October] military strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean to their home countries of Ecuador and Colombia, President Donald Trump said Saturday.
Administration officials were scrambling to determine what to do with the individuals, the first known survivors of the six US military strikes carried out in the Caribbean since September.
*Normally, you would take them as POWs, except war hadnāt been declaredā¦and this administration does not want discovery for a trial, because they might just be fishermen.
*So, survivors were a problem and the resolution was to kill anyone who survived the boat strikeā¦which was also illegal AF.
PS- They will never release any info tying Felon 47 to child sex trafficking with his buddy, Jeffrey Epstein.
PS-There is no assistance coming for health insurance.

The Conservative Movementās Intellectual Collapse
Trump is both a product and a cause of the decline in intellectual standards on the right.
The heritage foundation, which has stood for decades as the intellectual crown jewel of the conservative movement, has been convulsed in an ugly public spat over the organizationās approach to anti-Semitism.
Employees and visiting scholars are resigning from and revolting against the think tank over its defense of the former Fox News host Tucker Carlsonās interview with Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist and anti-Semite who has gained prominence in MAGA circles.
The conflict has exposed the degree to which previously forbidden bigotries have penetrated the heart of the Trump-era Republican Party.
It has also revealed a somewhat different, yet related pathology: the brain death of the conservative movement.

https://nypost.com/2025/11/07/us-news/ex-trump-adviser-stephen-moore-quits-heritage-foundation-as-controversy-over-tucker-carlsons-nick-fuentes-interview-rolls-on/
Former Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore resigned from the conservative Heritage Foundation on Thursday amid fierce backlash ā and pressure from donors ā over think tank president Kevin Robertsā defense of Tucker Carlson platforming white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
The Committee to Unleash Prosperity co-founder had been asked by donors to that group to leave Heritage, one source familiar with Mooreās exit told The Post.
Mooreās wife, Anne, had also proclaimed in a since-deleted tweet that Roberts didnāt deserve āa second chanceā and that her āhusband will be submitting his resignation.ā
We think thereās a real problem with antisemitism on the right,ā Moon said Friday, āand we think we need to deal with it aggressively, and thatās the whole purpose of all that has transpired over the past week.ā
The requests ā which included taking down the video of Robertsā initial defense of Carlson, issuing an apology to conservative Christians and Jews who ābelieve that Israel has a special role to play both biblically and politically,ā and condemnation of āantisemitic contentā produced by Carlson ā were first reported Tuesday by National Review.
In the sitdown, which has since racked up 17 million views on X, Fuentes denounced the influence of āorganized Jewryā in American politics and proclaimed himself āa fanā of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.
Carlson, in the same interview, accused American Christians who support the state of Israel of being heretics with a ābrain virus.ā
The Heritage leader has yet to remove that video and has instead placed some blame on his former chief of staff Ryan Neuhaus, who resigned Monday, for authoring his remarks.
In a second video message on Oct. 31, Roberts condemned Fuentesā āvicious antisemitic ideology, his Holocaust denial, and his relentless conspiracy theories that echo the darkest chapters of history.ā
*But crickets about the vile stuff Fuentes says about women.
lol what standards
The (White) Heritage Foundationās schism: Your hatred isnāt the right kind of hatred.
some conservative rag I was reading today (I suppose I shouldāve linked it) stated Trump has āobvious dementia.ā, which begs the question*, if they all know heās cognitively deficient, why havenāt they 25thād him yet?
*rhetorical
The same reason Daddy had to actually get in a wreck before we could get the damn keys away from him.
Heās their daddy. lol
lol yup
and they love it
heās also an incredible puppet if you can learn to stomach the smell of his shit on your nose, a trick the liberals (the loud ones) refuse to learn
and do you know why they refuse to learn it? because they already have theirs also
they are content to just watch the worldās worst people do it successfully instead
Hooray political incompetence give us all your money
to be fair, he doesnāt make it easy, but thatās just another manifestation of the narcissism
This is the society you get when you buy bubbles for your weak-ass kids
we really should stop pretending that white liberals donāt also worship money
to be fair, once again, itās hard not to when everything is so fucking expensive
Drudge
Hahahahahahahaha
please recognize that all my criticism of contemporary American small-L liberalism and its (virtue-signalling) adherents/promoters is with an understanding that the āCitizens Unitedā decision wasnāt their fault
thank you
gotta adapt though, just sayinā
Bah, iām talking like thereās hope, please disregard šŗšø

How to Make Putin Pay: The $2 Billion-a-Day Plan That Could End the War
By using Russiaās own frozen assets to arm Ukraine, the free world could force Putin to calculate every new day of war as another billion-dollar loss ā in both money and men.
What if every day Putin keeps the war in Ukraine going, he pays $2 billion to arm the people fighting him? The money already existsā frozen Russian assets. Letās turn his stolen billions into Ukraineās shield.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, the free world did something extraordinary: it froze about $250 billion in Russian state assets sitting in Western banks. That money was meant to finance Putinās ambitions ā and itās been sitting idle ever since, a mountain of stolen capital waiting for purpose. Now itās time to put it to work.
Imagine a plan where $2 billion of those frozen Russian funds are released to Ukraine every day, strictly for defense and weapons purchases and infrastructure investment ā continuing until Russia stops the war or the entire fund is exhausted. Every day Putin continues his aggression, he effectively bankrolls the strengthening of the army thatās defeating him.
This idea isnāt about revenge. Itās about rebalancing the cost of war ā making the aggressor pay in both blood and treasure.
Admiral under the bus, oh lookā¦.the bus is backing over him again.
That certainly is crystal clear, Little Buddy
wow so adept at passing the buck
I think youāve highlighted some of that abusive behavior every woman he has ever come in contact with has complained about
Fascinating! and terrifying!
Did I imagine that Hogsbreath said in an earlier post that the good General was acting 100% within his orders?
you definitely didnāt imagine contradictory statements, cause I saw them too!
Iād have to make a flow chart
a lot of lines would cross
Well, yāall had better find those articles and screenshot them before they get scrubbed.
