Sunday Bonus Read: Because some truths can’t wait until Monday.

Have you ever been introduced to the disgusting, unflushed floater? Today they’ve evolved – grown legs, grabbed microphones, and convinced the public they’re here to save us. These political parasites screw us over directly to our faces, and somehow, we praise them for it.

The Government Shutdown Scam

The government shutdown scam is nothing more than theater. These overpaid con-artists watch American families collapse while taking extended vacations on our dime. They’re not sweating – their paychecks and medical care are guaranteed. These self-proclaimed saviors of humanity serve themselves first and always off the top.

And while they distract us with their chaos, the current Cheeto-dusted mascot of hatred just pardoned convicted congressional con-man George Santos. He surrounds himself with criminals – though to be fair, some won’t be convicted until after he’s done using them.

Some people suffer from low iron in their diets; so allow me to add some irony. The current president of hatred started a war on non-white immigrants – yet he’s the grandson of an immigrant, the son of an immigrant, and two of his three wives were immigrants. Make that math make sense, please.

For the record, I don’t respect any political side. Americans just vote for who they prefer to be scammed by.

The Next Scam: The Insurance Industry

While we argue over colors and slogans, the next great American scam is loading – the insurance industry.

For those wanting the cliff notes of what you begged and voted for in the “Big Beautiful Bill,” here’s what’s coming:

• In Maine, a family of four making $130K will pay $16,100 more in premiums.
• In Maryland, a 60-year-old couple making $85K: $13,700 more.
• In Minnesota: $15,500 more.
• In Nevada: $18,100 more.
• In Kentucky: $23,700 more.

All brought to you by the same people who promised freedom and handed you a bill.

Hate, History, and Hypocrisy

The same politicians – and their loyal followers – will go down in history as allies of pedophiles, hate crimes, and treason. They’ve managed to reenact Nazi Germany with a modern American flare, wrapped in red, white, and televised rage.

And topping it all off? Their unwavering support for the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Federalized, mentally disturbed hate-mongers authorized to wage war on American soil – against anyone not white enough, not rich enough, not obedient enough.

What we’re witnessing is the result of failed parenting – adults in the media and politicians who never learned boundaries or respect now running the country like a playground brawl. Their childish smirks mock anyone who dares hold them accountable. Most of them just need to put the pacifier back in their mouths and suck it.

The Farmers’ Regret

And how about those hate-group farmers, now regretting their dream of a white-only America? Eighty percent of them voted for exactly what they’re living through – yet some of the loudest mouths are back in line, hypocritically begging for welfare.

Those tears? They go straight into the Not Our Problem Bank. You deported the very people who broke their backs keeping your families comfortable, and now your MAGA politicians are buying up your desperate farms at discount prices.

I guess those bootstraps were too short to pull up. I hear the roosters singing proudly – “Cock–a–doodle–doo.”

Flush What You Can

At some point, we have to stop pretending we’re powerless while handing these floaters the plunger. It’s time to flush our own bowls – stop idolizing the same frauds we curse and start demanding proof of service, not promises. Follow your money, your vote, your silence – they all feed the same parasites.

We need political reform written in fire: no more career crooks, no more failed politicians climbing back for another round of failure on our backs. Bar them from reelection. No more failing forward while using us as their scapegoat.

And while we’re at it – get out of your feelings and your biases. Skin tone shouldn’t hand out passes to those who look like you or those you revere. Accountability doesn’t come in shades; it applies across the board. That’s what the Constitution claims to represent, so stop using it as your personal toilet paper.

The system survives because we keep refilling its tank. It’s time to stop the flow – and make them clean up their own mess for once.

Final Reflection

For centuries, those hustling the system have perfected the art of blame – always pointing their fingers outward at the defenseless. But ask yourself: How have non-white foreigners or the Black community truly affected your life? When have they ever had the power to make you pay more, to raise your taxes, or to pass laws that break your back?

Now take an honest look at who’s been in the seat of power for generations. The Black community and non-white foreigners have never been your problem – but they’ve carried the blame and the hate of millions of Americans too afraid to hold their own accountable.
