In the latest episode of the political circus, we witness the grand return of Dan Bongino, a man who clearly thought complaining from behind a microphone is a noble pursuit worth abandoning his short-lived career as a Secret Service agent and conservative commentator. Yes, dear reader, after a career where he observed the inner workings of government, Bongino has chosen the freedom of podcasting to rant about the very system he is critical of.
Instead of using his platform to expose controversial figures, Bongino is back to take on what the tech-savvy youth call the “Black Pillars.” These are folks who are just tired of, well, everything. Imagine a guy in his fifties trying to relate to the Zoomers—like watching your dad join TikTok and invent new dance moves you didn’t know you needed, maybe didn’t want.
And if his triumphant return wasn’t already a spectacle worthy of prime-time television, he decided to spend his comeback tour blocking critics on social media like a DJ playing all the wrong tracks at a high school dance. His Twitter feed morphed into a battlefield of memes, jabs, and “insider” revelations that everyone else received the memo about years ago. But, hey, at least his memes are fired up.
Bongino’s vendetta wasn’t limited to faceless internet critics; he also took personal jabs at public figures. In a classic case of pot calling the kettle black, Bongino accused others of actions that might make for a sensational tabloid series. Though not all his claims are substantiated, throwing allegations without backbone seems to be as trendy as a pumpkin spice latte in fall.
Yet, the real kicker in this grandstanding comes from Bongino’s focus on Israel. In a scene that resembles a comedy sketch rather than a serious commitment, Bongino bafflingly proclaims his top priority is the defense of Israel, eclipsing other pressing issues like, oh, saving America or reforming the government. It was a moment so jaw-dropping, you’d think he might’ve misplaced his notes.
In this ever-unfolding drama of politics, one can only watch, popcorn in hand, as Bongino navigates his newfound freedom from the “deep state” by metaphorically tilting at windmills from his podcast studio. Meanwhile, the real issues—government transparency and accountability—remain as elusive as ever. But fret not, Bongino assures us he’s on it, as he surely knows just the right meme to post next.
