Interior Secretary Burgum just shouting the quiet part out loud...or he’s almost as stupid as his boss. Could be both. “…there are plenty of things that I see that I might personally find offensive, irreprehensible, but in America, free speech is allowed.”

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum used the word “irreprehensible” during a CNN interview, where he intended to say “reprehensible.” While discussing a march by the white supremacist group Patriot Front in Washington, D.C., he stated: “there are plenty of things that I see that I might personally find offensive, irreprehensible, but in America, free speech is allowed.” The incident sparked media coverage because “irreprehensible” actually means blameless or free from fault.

This is the Jack Nicholson film that inspired Greg Bovino to be a "good" border patrol agent, instead of Harvey Keitel's bad border patrol guy. A cousin of Greg's mom, a gay cousin, from Watauga County, the late Neil Hartley, served as the film's executive producer...

The image is a movie poster for the 1982 film The Border, starring Jack Nicholson as a border patrol agent named Charlie Smith. The film is described as an intense neo-noir drama about an agent dealing with corruption and human smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Governor Hunt was a fine, decent leader. And he took the time to write back a 17-year-old nobody (you can tell that he even typed it himself)…and to sign the image I took and sent him! Here’s hoping we return to better things in the new year. And here’s to a deserved rest to a faithful servant.

Dear Ms. Radisch:

Thank you for your letter.

I agree that Youth Involvement Day was a great success, and mainly because of the hard work of so
state employees. Your participation was also needed to make it a success, and I'm very glad you had the opportunity to become better acquainted with state government.

As for ERA, I am very much aware of
the situation we have in our state,
and that's why my wife and I supported it actively the last time it was before the General Assembly.
Carolyn and I believe in equal rights strongly, not only because we feel it
is what is right and fair, but we have three daughters of our own that we want to grow up free and able to take advantage of every opportunity in life.
You can count on me when it comes to supporting ERA, and I'll do everything I can to help the citizens of our state understand its importance.

Thanks again for writing. Come by again when you get the chance.

My warmest personal regards.

Jim Hunt

P.S. I am returning the picture you sent me. I autographed it in hopes that you’ll keep it as a token of our friendship.

Last night Trump Kennedy Center CEO Ric Grenell hosted “the first-ever” (? red spruce? in the Opera House?) Christmas tree lighting (with Menorah! looking like a spectator in the back). He thanked special guest, Ag Sec. Brooke Rollin, for “giving” us the tree. (1 of 6)

Screenshot of the Kennedy Center’s Christmas tree lighting on 17 December 2025 in the Opera House. The image shows a small crowd gathered to witness KC CEO Ric Grenell and Ag Sec Brooke Rollins violate the Hatch Act and first Amendment, as a memorial casts its white light off to the far right in the crowd. At center is an 18-foot red spruce, killed in the George Washington & Thomas Jefferson National Forest in southern Virginia (ironic as its representative of a keystone in the restoration of the species to the region). The tree itself is decorated (desecrated) to the point of obscuring the actual tree in the gold gilt ornaments and lights so characteristic of this theocratic administration.

A picture of members and associates of the rock band KISS taken at the White House around Monday, December 12, 2025. The convicted drug dealer and music manager Doc McGhee is shown in the front row with his very white large teeth.

An article about music manager Doc McGhee’s sweetheart deal for drug smuggling. First column of article (it’s the gist, but formatting and length are difficult) follows:

The News and Observer, Raleigh, N.C., Tuesday, July 10, 1990
Rock-band manager agrees to plea bargain in drug case

By JANE RUFFIN
Staff writer

Doc McGhee, manager of rock bands Bon Jovi, Scorpions and Skid Row, has agreed to plead guilty to a second marijuana-re-lated charge in a plea bargain that could allow him to continue an unusual sentence of arranging anti-drug rock concerts.
Mr. McGhee appeared Monday in U.S. District Court in Raleigh, where a judge in 1988 had sentenced him to set up a non-profit corporation to sponsor the concerts and other anti-drug activi-ties.
The requirement was part of a probationary sentence he received after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the importation of some 40,000 pounds of marijuana.
The new charge, a conspiracy count, stemmed from an indictment in Lafayette, La., relating to the same marijuana-importation episode, his attorney Joseph B.
Cheshire V said in court.
The marijuana was shipped to North Carolina in 1982. But Mr.
Cheshire said that Louisiana authorities maintained they had jurisdiction to bring the additional charge because the boat involved had been outfitted in that state.
A prosecutor and a federal judge in Louisiana agreed, howev-er, to allow Mr. McGhee to plead guilty to the conspiracy charge in Raleigh in return for the dismissal of other charges in the indictment.

Apparently a dessert from the 12/12/2025 White House Navy Mess luncheon. Is it an allegorical nod to the trope of cocaine abuse among big-hair rock stars? It sure looks like it. With a straw, white dust and bloody smears.

Pictured is a slightly off white plate with an image of the White House, the words “The White House” and in script underneath “Mess” in gold, a gold band encircles the rim with a band of small gold stars on the lip of the china. On the lower left of the plate is a scoop of vanilla-colored ice cream with chocolate shavings with a white and dark striped chocolate straw poking out. On the plate’s upper right is a round stodgy, possibly claggy, overbaked brown item, possibly a brownie, sporting a dusting of fine sugar. Two raspberry-appearing smears appear at the top and bottom of the plate.

At first glance this appears to be presidential poop, but on closer inspection it’s a little container of reddish brown-wrapped Hershey’s Kisses. The container is navy blue with three red and two white stripes alternating on a band which intersects with the Hershey’s Kiss-shaped window (which is also the universally recognized poop shape). A gold-embossed presidential seal sits at the top center over the gold-embossed signature of convicted felon and sex pest Donald J Trump.

An image of three white people at a formal event presumably related to the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors.

At left, a white man with a goatee and half chin beard sort of smiles while wearing an ill-fitting white button up shirt under a tux, with a white-dotted on a dark background bow tie and pocket square.

In the center is smiling, soon-to-be ex-Homeland Security Secretary Krusti Gnome sporting long, dark, wavy hair extensions and a black dress with a plunging neckline.

At right is Tommy Thayer, Ace Frehley’s replacement in the band KISS. He is sporting a more form fitting black tux than the other man, a white button up shirt and a dark bow tie. He appears fit and is the more attractive person of the three and of the band KISS. It is from his Facebook page that this and the preceding three images were acquired.

A screen cap of the infamous pussy-grabbing right hand of the rotten regime leader. More interesting, perhaps, than the ubiquitous bandage over the vein, is the crusty-appearing knuckles and back of hand indicating either the possibility of a narcissistic adult-infant with self-control issues punching walls or perhaps, more simply, the symptom of a rotting flesh suit.
