Winning? Looks to us like Trump has finally jumped the shark

Trump Says Grocery Bills Should Drop 

After He Renames a Few More Things 'America'

That's the Babylon Bee's headline accompanying this photo. Click here to read their article, the gist of which is "The cost of groceries will fall like you won't believe," and everything will be just peachy-keen from here on out. It's satire, of course, but think about this...

If well over half of a politician's constituents, and over 90% of the rest of the world, are laughing at him, is he winning or losing? 

Regular readers of WWW know that Walt was a strong suporter of DJT's bids for election and re-election. We liked the idea of Making America Great Again, and wished President Trump good luck. But even then, we took him cum grano salis. 

Now we can only avert our gaze as he makes a fool of himself and of the US of A on the world's stage. It's embarrassing. And we can't even advise the Donald to quit while he's ahead, because... he's not ahead. He's losing. And it can only get worse.

Babylon Bee reacts to release of details of Iran peace pact

As a public service, and to confirm that Walt isn't the only one who doesn't think anything much has been resolved by the MoU signed by POTUS which is supposed to end (kind of) the US-Iran war (see "Is it over yet? Really?" WWW 17/6/26), we present links to two articles which appeared today in the Babylon Bee (your trusted source for Christian satire).

From the Babylon Bee: 12 Inspiring Bible Passages About Pride

Already? Again? Yes, Pride Month began today, making this the perfect time to see what inspirational passages can be found in God's Word (KJV) that pertain to the subject. Kick your pride up a notch and pass these comforting verses on to the gays in your life: 

Genesis 19:24-25: "Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground." 

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." 

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." 

Job 35:12: "There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men." 

Proverbs 8:13: "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate." 

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." 

Daniel 4:37: "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble." 

Romans 1:27: "and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error." 

I Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

James 4:6: "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'" 

Jude 1:7: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." 

I John 2:16-17: "For all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life — is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 

Truly heartwarming. Be sure to side hug a gay and share one of these inspiring verses today.

Walz Announces $8 Billion Grant To Somali Company 

To Investigate Fraud

ST. PAUL, MN — In response to growing allegations of fraud tied to Minnesota's Somali community, Governor Tim Walz announced he had awarded an $8 billion grant to a Somali company to find the perpetrators.

"I'm sparing no expense to find those responsible," Governor Walz announced. "That's why I'm consulting with a Somali private detective agency. They know when to run a mean pick-six. They also run a nifty daycare center."

To date, approximately $18 billion has been lost to fraud in Minnesota through fake social service programs run by Somalis, some of whom may be in the country illegally. Walz hopes to get to the bottom of the scandal with a lucrative grant to the newly formed Osman Farah Private Eye Detective Agency for Finding Welfare Fraud 

"Look at me. Look at me. I am the detective now," said Detective Osman Farah.

Democrats praised Walz for rising above politics to get to the bottom of the fraud case. "Well, I'm convinced," said Minnesota Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar. "Nothing to see here. As usual, America is the real villain."

Previously, Republicans questioned Walz's leadership throughout the Somali daycare fraud scandal, even going so far as to suggest he's involved. Now, however, they're certain he's just mentally handicapped and unable to run an elaborate money laundering scheme himself.

"We should probably have him arrested, but honestly, this is all so entertaining," House Speaker Mike Johnson said as he ate a bag of popcorn while watching the news. "Ha, they just found another billion. Hilarious."

At publishing time, Somali detectives announced they were close to cracking the case and just needed another $8 billion in funds to be sure.

From the Bee: "Elmo Decries Defunding Of PBS As Jewish Conspiracy"

Ed. here. "Where's Walt?", I hear you ask. He's recovering from a long weekend. In his absence, we'd like to share a post which appeared on the Babylon Bee -- your trusted source for Christian satire -- yesterday. We hasten to add that the image below comes from the PatriotPost. 

Longtime Sesame Street resident Elmo decried the federal government's defunding of PBS as an "obvious Jewish conpsiracy." In a special edition of Elmo's World, the iconic red puppet unleashed a 40-minute tirade blaming the Jewish people for a laundry list of world issues.

"Elmo knows who's responsible! Hee-hee!" said Elmo, furiously banging his goldfish bowl. "Elmo knows who controls the flow of money! Oh, oh, look, everyone. Dorothy the goldfish has a question! Dorothy wants to know which members of Congress are controlled by AIPAC! Ha-ha-ha!"

The disturbing rant initially featured Elmo calling the PBS defunding a Jewish plot, but quickly descended into inculpating the Jewish people for all of history's wars. "Oh! Elmo wants to ask where the number six million really comes from for the Holocaust!" said Elmo. 

"Hee-hee-hee. Elmo just asking questions! Oh, oh! Now that Elmo start asking questions about Holocaust, PBS loses its funding! Elmo thinks he knows how this works, hee-hee-hee!"

At publishing time, Elmo had reportedly flushed Dorothy down the toilet after becoming suspicious of her last name "Goldfish."

Comment from Ed.: The loonie left, DEI-obsessed creators of Sesame Street say poor widdle Elmo's account was hacked. Well, they would say that, wouldn't they. Defunding of PBS sounds like an excellent idea to us, the logical sequence to the long-overdue defunding of NPR. Winning!

Land acknowledgment ceremonies now de rigueur in USA and Canada

On his visit to Canuckistan at the start of the week (see "The Queen of Horsewomen", WWW 27/5/25), King Charles III began his Speech from the Throne with the now mandatory (and ever-meaningless) land acknowledgment ceremony, which is a kind of Confiteor in which liberals afflicted with white guilt concede that the land on w hich they live was filched from the Indians (feathers, not turbans) by their evil, colonialist ancestors.

Ed.: That sets a record for the longest run-on sentence ever posted on WWW. Please don't do that again.

OK, OK. I will simply point out that apologizing for mistakes made by their unwoke ancestors is not just part of Canadian culture, but official government policy. As witness this press conference given by a spokesthingy for the Nova Scotia division of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (aka "Mounties") on 7 May 2025.

That right there shows you what a joke a country can become under prolonged rule by liberal wokesters. Not only did they apologize to the Mi'kmaq (aka Micmac), the local Indians First Nations,but to "Nova Scotian Africans" as well. Hey, they're a distinct people... apparently. And notice the bilingual preface as well, even though there's nary a soul in Nova  Scotia who speaks la langue de Molière. 40 seconds wasted before getting to the point of the presser.

American readers shouldn't be smug, though. These land acknowledgment jokes are common enough in the Paranoid States of America. As witness this one:

Land Acknowledgment: The Babylon Bee Wishes To Acknowledge That Our Offices Are Located On Land Once Occupied By Morton & Mayfield Accounting LLC (14/10/24)

and this one 

Housewarming Party Kicks Off With Land Acknowledgement For The Johnsons Who Lived There Since 2019 (28/5/25)

OK, they're from the Babylon Bee, of course. Who else? But if you arrive on time for any kind of gtovernment event in any blue state (or even some of the red ones), don't be surprised to hear the ritual incantation of: Hiya, hiya, hiya. Sorry, sorry, sorry. 

One question remains. If we're so sorry that we took their land away from our fine feathered friends, why don't we just give it back to them?!

Is the Pope Catholic?

From the Babylon Bee... of course... 

Catholics Frantically Google Newly Elected Pope To See If He's Catholic 

With the announcement of the election of Pope Leo XIV, Catholics around the globe were reportedly frantically googling the new pontiff to find out if he's Catholic. 

Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, originally from Chicago, Illinois, became the first American to be selected to serve as pope, leading devout members of the church to quickly look up his background to find out if he was also the first Catholic to serve in the position in over a decade. 

"It'll be a great change of pace if he is," said lifelong Catholic Dave Battaglia. "Throwing in some variety every now and then is fine, but it would be nice to have a Catholic guy in charge of the Catholic Church for at least a little while. I need to find out more about this Leo guy to see if he's at least been to Mass before." 

If Leo XIV is, in fact, Catholic, he would return the church to its once-longstanding tradition of having popes who were Catholic. "You never know these days," said Lisa Ganapini, another devout Catholic. "You'd think that there's a decent chance that he's a member of the faith, but as we've learned in recent years, you just never know. I guess we'll find out. I hope he's, like, read the Bible or something, too." 

At publishing time, progressives around the world were reportedly disappointed that the Catholic Church had once again missed the opportunity to elect the first female pope.

2024 Wally Awards: Worst Living President

Out of left field [read: the Democratic Party. Ed.] comes a complete surprise! We thought we'd finished handing out the prestigious Wally Awards for 2024, but the events of the weekend allow us to add a new one -- the Wally Award for Worst Living President. There were two nominees...

And the winner, as selected by the totally impartial judges at the Babylon Bee, is... well, here are the first two paragraphs from their article, posted yesterday. 

What had already been a relaxing family vacation to usher in the coming new year became the site of an even greater celebration, as news of the death of former President Jimmy Carter made it official that Joe Biden had finally claimed the title of Worst Living President. 

Administration officials admitted behind the scenes that it was an achievement that Biden had worked long and hard to secure, with one insider disclosing that the president had begun to lose hope that he would finally attain it due to Carter's shocking longevity. Biden gave brief remarks to reporters upon cementing his claim to the title.

While we're waiting... Trump takes the lead

Walt is busily checking out his TV setup to make sure he'll be able to see tomorrow night's Clash of the Titan and the Titty on ABC-TV, the network once famous for Wide Wide World of Sports (how appropriate for a political debate), and now well known for being 100% trustworthy in all matters political. Depending, of course, on who's doing the trusting.

The ABC TV guide listing for the Great Debate says: "Convicted felon lies repeatedly defending himself against attack by champion of truth, justice and diversity. Hilarity ensures." 

While you're waiting for the barrel o' laughs to begin, you might get a chuckle out of this item: "Harris Campaign Admits Tim Walz Was The Only Candidate That Answered Their Craigslist Ad"... from our friends at the Babylon Bee, of course.

The Harris campaign team won't see the humour in that story, as they contemplate the latest results from the Daily Mail election prediction model. As they reported today, the latest polls have tilted in President Trump's direction, giving him a decisive lead over the Cackler the day before they go head to head on the debate stage.

The algorithms show the Donald with a 55% chance of being re-elected, a 4.5-point boost since last week. Today's result comes hard on the heels of a New York Times/Siena College poll giving Mr Trump a one-point lead at the weekend. Will the debate make any difference? We'll see. Is it likely to be entertaining. Absolutely!
