The State Department is burning 500 tons of food for starving kids AND taxpayer dollars — while arbitrarily firing 1000s. My question to Secretary Rubio's Deputy: What’s your plan to stop the waste of American aid? His answer: We’re looking into it. We need a plan — this won’t cut it.

There is no place in our nation for a secret police force operating in the shadows and pulling people off the streets in unmarked cars. Congress must ensure law enforcement, including ICE, is held to basic standards of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil rights.

Response sent to the White House. Summary: The planet doesn’t need an emperor dictating trade. Mainland Antarctica already has millions of Emperors, and even their droppings do more good than the White House’s globally destabilizing policies. In other words, go take a long hike on thin ice.

July 2025
To:
The Executive Office of the President
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C., USA
Subject: Your Most Recent Tariff Missive(s)
Dear White House Strategists,
Sitting on eggs continuously for 54 days in minus 20 degrees is, frankly, easier than trying to make sense of your current tariff strategy. We've checked our calendars thrice-are we on Day 90 or 105 of this economic stand-off? We'd request clarification, but we're reasonably sure you'd sanction that too.
We're loathe to admit it, but on this matter we find ourselves in rare agreement with Brazil's President Lula: the world does not, in fact, require an emperor. Least of all one perched precariously atop a melting economy, dictating terms to islands most Americans couldn't point to on a globe even if bribed with krill.
Before these tariffs, our contact with humanity was limited to the occasional sunburnt glaciologist and a few UN observers who came mostly for the penguin chorus. Now, thanks to your trade aggression, we've acquired:
- Three fully operational F/A-18 Hornets (painted in icy matte, thank you for asking),
- The enthusiastic backing of several thousand confused yet passionate humans,
- A Press Secretary with a debilitating anxiety disorder (Miss Penguline Levity, whom we advise you not to email directly),
- And a waitlist of 47,000 immigration requests, 312 of which are from your own diplomatic staff.
This escalation has turned our quiet, flightless republic into an accidental geopolitical flashpoint. We are, as you might imagine, irritated. Not furious-just frostily disappointed.
Let us be clear: Heard Island has no intention of becoming a player in your drama. We are content to govern our guano-covered rocks with dignity, sovereignty, and minimal Wi-Fi. If this is difficult for you to accept, we recommend a long walk on thin ice.

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.

One cannot strip away the liberties of another without consequence. Learn from Mr Douglass. His words from 1852 are not irrelevant today but are, sadly, hauntingly more accurate than they should be in this modern age. Equality & equity are the metrics of liberty & justice.
