The Sequel to Hegseth’s Classless Comic Book Mocking His War Crimes

MeidasTouch Facebook page announced this morning that “Pentagon Pete” Hegseth just posted an AI comic book mocking war crimes.

“Pete Hegseth just posted this amid accusations he has committed serious war crimes”

Believing that patriotic Americans would not let this travesty go unanswered, I ventured to Hegseth’s social media post (which might not show up because it’s X).

And I wasn’t disappointed by those answering the challenge, so I culled the best ones and put them together as a GIF cautionary tale about war crimes.

TRIGGER WARNING: The panel close to the end depicts a fate similar to Jeffrey Epstein’s while in prison.

A Riddle Worth Its Weight in Gold

 Posted by at 7:48 am  Politics

In a time long, long ago there lived a wise and generous king.  As with all kings, he was extremely wealthy.

But what set him apart from most rulers past and present was he loved sharing his good fortune with his subjects.

And just as much as he enjoyed spreading his good fortune around, he enjoyed a good riddle.

The king posted this riddle and if his subjects could solve it the king would disperse the gold among his people.

He showed his subjects five royal purple velvet bags and then displayed the five gold coins that each bag contained.

He explained that each coin weighed exactly one pound … EXCEPT for one bag that was filled with five fake gold coins.  And each fake gold coin weighed exactly one pound and one ounce.

He pointed to the royal scale beside him and noted that it was extremely accurate.  He told his people that they could have one –but ONLY ONE – chance to use the scale to try to determine which bag held the fake coins.

And whatever they decided to weigh had to go on the scale ALL at the SAME TIME.

They couldn’t put one bag on and then closely watch as they added another to see how the scale changed.

Whatever they wanted weighed had to go on the scale at the same time – and they only had ONE CHANCE to use the scale.

If his subjects could figure out which bag had the fake coins, the kind king would disperse all the gold among his subjects.

Would you be able to figure out how to use the scale JUST ONCE and successfully find the fake bag in order to enjoy some gold?

 

I trust everyone will be on the honor system and avoid Google, Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc. – and figured it on their own.

Poppy Light Shows to Mark Remembrance on Memorial Day …

After Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae saw poppies growing in a battle-scorched field in Waregem, Belgium, he was inspired to pen the poem “In Flanders Fields”.  Since then, poppies have become the traditional symbol of remembrance for our fallen soldiers.  So, on this Memorial Day I thought it fitting to revisit two light shows featuring the poppy.

The nation’s only memorial and museum dedicated “in honor of those who served in World War One in defense of liberty and our country” is Kansas City’s Liberty Memorial.  And in recent years its 217-foot-tall tower has served as a canvas for two light shows featuring the poppy.

The first was in 2018 marking the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marking the “War to End All Wars”.  The light show ran for nine days and was viewed by tens of thousands.

Over 5,000 poppies illuminating both the Liberty Tower and Liberty Memorial base (part of the National World War I Museum) were created by nearly 55 million pixels and 800,000 lumens.  Every 15-minutes a special presentation is shown on the base displaying images and history about World War I.

 

 

 

 

To honor our nation’s veterans, the second light show installation was commissioned by the Liberty Museum and Memorial in conjunction with the NFL Draft that was held in Kansas City at Union Station in 2023.  It was titled “Horizons” and was designed by Kathy Pittala, a lifelong Kansas City area resident and the Graphic Designer at the Liberty National WWI Museum and Memorial.

Dear Leader Exalts Himself with HUGE Banner …

This past week “Dear Leader” took the next step on the way to becoming a fascist dictator by unfurling a HUGE banner – of HIMSELF – at the Ministry of Truth USDA.

A colossal, brooding image of Donald Trump now looms over the U.S. Department of Agriculture headquarters in Washington, D.C. The banner is unmistakably authoritarian in both style and scale. It features a stone-faced Trump gazing down upon the capital like a watchful overlord.

The huge banner of a glaring Trump in front of the USDA is a literal sign the U.S. has lost its democracy

History has shown that such arrogant, pompous, narcissistic displays of self-exaltation do NOT herald a healthy, thriving democracy.  Quite the opposite.

But folks took advantage of such pretentious chutzpah to have some fun …

If that wasn’t galling enough, salt was rubbed into the wound as it was displayed alongside a banner of Pres. Lincoln.  It was Lincoln who founded the USDA in 1862 to

” … provide leadership on food, agriculture, natural resources, rural development, nutrition, and related issues based on public policy, the best available science, and effective management.”

But one Paulley Ticks took a bit of “artistic license” and saved the day with his pièce de résistance revision:

 

And he interestingly notes that the hand doing the flipping-off is his, because he could NOT find a pinky-sided image of a “giving-the-finger” photo.

Trump Wants to Pave Over the Rose Garden Lawn!

One would think that destroying democracy, ratcheting up in inflation with his tariffs and trade war, abandoning our longtime allies, kissing Putin’s ass and firing people would keep Donnie busy enough.

But now he’s investigating his desire to pave over the lawn in the Kennedy Rose Garden so it more closely resembles his Mar-a-Lago place.

(An aerial view of Kennedy Rose Garden PRIOR to Melania’s desecration)

While that’s galling enough, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung released a statement “justifying” Trump’s intentions to modify the grounds:

“The White House has not been given any tender, loving care in many decades, so President Trump is taking necessary steps in order to preserve and restore the greatness and glory of ‘the People’s House.”

Designers are already busy drafting options for how to “remake” the Rose Garden to then recreate the patio experience at Mar-a-Lago.

But Donnie isn’t stopping there with his makeover plans:

  • Hang a grand chandelier from the ceiling of the Oval Office
  • Gold vases and statuettes and at least one gold figurine embedded in an elevated wall molding
  • Build a ballroom at the White House, “like I have at Mar-a-Lago,” which Mr. Trump says would cost $100 million

Sadly, the White House Historical Association has no statutory authority over the premises.  Additionally, the Rose Garden is outside of its scope because it is outdoors.

And worse, the National Park Service, controlled by the Department of the Interior, maintains the grounds, including the Rose Garden.

At least the roses are currently reported to remain.

Anyone else reminded of the lyrics from “Big Yellow Taxi”?

Don’t it always seem to go

That you don’t know what you’ve got ’til it’s gone

They paved paradise, put up a parking lot

JD Is Fine …

Got a text message from Trinette that JD won’t be posting today because of computer issues.

I really don’t have anything in the hopper, but I did recently come across a post about a man in Wales who thought he was having poltergeist invade his workshop.

Every night for months he would leave a mess of odds-and-ends scattered all over his workbench – and every day when he went back to putter, the place was tidied up with things placed in a wooden box.

 

Baffled long enough, he setup a camera with a special night-vision lens to find out what was happening.

And he got his answer: A tiny mouse with obvious OCD!

Shop owner Rodney Holbrook thought he was doing this to hide the birdfeeder nuts stored in the shop.  But pest control expert Gareth Davies said, “Mice are like the magpies of the rodent world.  They just collect things and hoard them because they think they’re prepping for the future and hard times.”

Dr. Megan Jackson from nearby University of Bristol explained that this is actually common behavior for mice.  They scavenge and keep things in a safe place that they think might be useful.  But she added that a good deal of what “Welsh Tidy Mouse” (Mr. Holbrook’s nickname) keeps in the box really wouldn’t be useful to build a nest – their primary goal.

She thinks the mouse simply enjoys the activity.

This isn’t the first time this kind of behavior was observed.  A little over five years ago a mouse in Bristol was caught on video doing the same thing.

Steve McKears, the owner of the workbench, was relieved when a neighbor friend setup a night-vision camera and caught “Metal Mickey” moving the objects.

Mr. McKears was quite relieved when he saw the film.  His previous two choices were ghosts or losing his mind.

Let’s Make Some Lemonade from Today’s Lemons …

You gotta love the surprise gift Pres. Biden left for Donnie on the way out the door….

A delightful – and very appropriate – redecoration of the White House:

 

And then we need to thank Melania for the yuks that hat of hers provided:

But it turns out Melania was a step ahead in her planning when Donnie was only able to give her an “Air Kiss” because of that Hamburglar wide brim:

 

Way to go Melania!  Got any more tricks up your sleeves?
