Your Independent Journal from the Heartland
In 1997, an infamously prophetic film called “Wag the Dog” was released starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. If you’ve never seen it, the movie is about an American president in the midst of a political sex scandal prior to an election where the president allegedly had sex with an underage girl. Sound familiar? It should. It’s GOP America 2026.
To solve his particular political problem, this American president decides to distract the national media by giving the mainstream corporate media what they want more than anything, a war to boost TV network ratings. You know what they say, “If it bleeds, it leads.”
And cheerleading mass murder for profit is a role that most mainstream media talking heads are quite comfortable with, while discussing the ramifications of allowing an evil pedophile to remain in the presidency is more problematic for these overpaid stenographers somehow. Perhaps they were on Epstein Island and/or taking free flights on convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein’s pedophile plane called “Lolita Express” too? The GOP is gross.
I suppose if you were a paid propagandist for the pathetic Republican Party, you too would find it difficult to explain your unwavering support for that conservative convicted felon, alleged pedophile Donald Trump, whereas spewing your unthinking, homicidal, verbal bile against mostly Islamic Iran is easy bigotry.
Political prostitutes posing as “journalists” only works on the dumbest of the dumb these days (see Fox “News”), so expect an electoral wipeout of the Rapepublican Party this November when a relatively large percentage of their own voters say they’ve had it and refuse to vote for these corrupt war criminal sex offenders claiming to speak for Jesus.
As for the rest of us on Election Day 2026, we’ll be voting in droves to fire racist Republikkkans across the country like never before. There’s going to be a lot of lunatic losers looking for their own TV shows on Fox News as of 2027, after these right-wing whack jobs are defeated by Democrats in a blue wave.
