Heil Donald: Mission Accomplished?

Leave a comment

Donald Trump, ever the showman, made history once again—not for a wall, but for a whirlwind. 

Within hours of retaking the Oval Office, the newly minted 47th President signed over 20 Executive Orders, one of which, we suspect, was a directive to replace Air Force One’s seating with gold-plated recliners. 

A man of action—or at least of Sharpie flourishes—Trump’s frenetic signing spree has left many wondering: has he already “Made America Great Again Again”? If so, shouldn’t he gracefully retire to Mar-a-Lago, the gilded Valhalla of golf carts and Diet Cokes, claiming his legacy as the shortest-serving U.S. president?

Imagine the headlines: “Trump’s Two-Day Term: The Best in History, Many People Are Saying.” Surely, this would inflate his ego beyond its already stratospheric proportions. After all, why slog through a full term when he can sign, brag, and bow out as the ultimate overachiever? Mission accomplished, folks.

Donald Trump: You Either Fit In A Box, Or Not At All

Ah, America the Great (Again), where science meets selective hearing and progress takes a leisurely stroll backward. 

Donald Trump’s administration has boldly decided to settle the “gender debate” with the subtlety of a sledgehammer: male and female, period. Forget the complexities of identity or the existence of court-approved gender changes; in this brave new world, your passport might soon be less of a travel document and more of an interrogation trigger. Will TSA start administering chromosome tests at security checkpoints? Maybe they’ll bring back phrenology while they’re at it.

Health care for transgender individuals? Well, why bother when we’re too busy ensuring their very existence is bureaucratically erased? It’s a new era of “equality,” where everyone fits neatly into two boxes—or doesn’t fit at all. But hey, as they say, nothing screams “freedom” like legislating people’s identities. Welcome to the land of the free and the home of the rigidly binary.

Who Incurred The National Debt Anyway?

Leave a comment

“Why is the current national debt sky-high?” is a question that critics of President Bongbong Marcos have been tossing around like confetti, especially when pointing out the Philippines’ towering ₱16.09 trillion national debt.

But wait—hold on to your calculators, folks. Out of this mountain of debt, a hefty ₱12.79 trillion was inherited from the Duterte administration. Yep, it’s like receiving an overly generous utang package as a welcome gift to Malacañang.

Marcos critics love to act as if he swiped the nation’s credit card for a nationwide shopping spree, but let’s be real—he walked into the party when the bill was already sky-high. Sure, ₱16 trillion sounds terrifying, but before you blame PBBM, try adding and subtracting first. Duterte handed over a debt snowball, but hey, maybe pointing fingers is easier than doing math. Or as we like to call it, the Filipino version of “debt-aton logic.”
