Staff ReportsIt seems like America is back in the hands of the “orange man,” and, shockingly, things have taken a turn for the better in just a week—at least, if your definition of better includes pardoning the Proud Boys and reinstating deportations to rid the country of “trash.” Of course, you won’t find any of that in the mainstream media. They’re too busy swooning over tearful rants about January 6th and dodging all those pesky questions about who exactly is getting deported. Forget political discourse; we’re about to witness a reality show where everyone plays the victim, and the biggest players are the “sanctuary” folks cringing at the thought of “federal deportation planes” getting some serious airtime.
In a grippingly bizarre twist this week, Democratic darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a trip to the surreal side while discussing immigration law on Jon Stewart’s podcast. Who knew that giving someone a platform meant they might reveal their utter lack of understanding of the laws they’re supposed to champion? When asked why the existing law doesn’t seem to apply, she fumbled like a toddler wanting extra dessert. It’s almost as if she thinks the term “individual cases” refers to the millions who take advantage of a system that’s been flailing under the weight of her party’s ineptitude. Cue the collective facepalms from anyone who dares to look for logic in her argument. Maybe there’s hope for those suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome after all; if Stewart is slinging the right questions, what’s next? A book deal?
Meanwhile, over at CNN, the melodrama continues with the January 6th brigade indulging in self-pity while Greene serves them a heaping helping of reality. Just when you thought everyone was over the “but January 6th” narrative, here comes Congresswoman Greene to remind them of what’s absurd: the media’s obsession with this one event while completely ignoring the Biden family’s, shall we say, questionable record. Greene might finally get her deserved gold star in “trolling the media” school with that zinger. One can’t help but wonder if all those reporters are too busy crying about their lost stories to even notice!
And if you think you’ve seen it all, Hollywood raises the bar yet again. Meet the film that’s practically the poster child for ‘woke-content’ snuff films. The latest Oscar nominations include a bizarre musical about a drug cartel leader who transitions into a woman, complete with subtitles that dare you to keep your brain engaged. If you find yourself giggling from disbelief rather than laughter, congratulations, you’ll fit right in with the streaming services resonating with the “Have you even SEEN it?” crowd. The expectations are so low these days that the film could feature a cat playing piano in a tutu and still walk away with several prestigious nominations. Because of course, nuance in filmmaking is overrated—give Hollywood a “woke” story, and they’ll throw all caution to the wind.
The icing on this already ludicrous cake? The federal workers’ TikTok meltdown over Trump’s executive order mandating they show their faces in the office instead of lounging at home with their feet up. Have these government employees been cozying up to their cushy desk jobs with Netflix marathons instead of working? Shockingly, yes! And now that they must return to actual work life, they’re grasping at straws, crying into the void on social media as if this were a global humanitarian crisis. One can’t help but chuckle at their plight. The true tragedy here? They might have to work for a living!
In the end, this week has turned the political climate into an absurd carnival scene. With Trump at the helm, the drama, tears, and delirious glee of convoluted policies and movie plots keep America entertained—whether they like it or not. If anyone was hoping for any semblance of normalcy, it’s time to put that dream back on the shelf, right next to hopes of Democrats ever figuring out why people don’t like them. Meanwhile, get your tickets ready; the show only gets crazier from here!
