A Close Dog Encounter of the…

aggressive kind…

I was minding my own business performing the pre-hike ritual of fussing with my shoes and gear. A young couple pulled up in the parking area. I spotted a small dog between them. I continued putzing around.

Next thing I know, the little cur was rushing, snarling and barking at me. I froze in place and shouted at the twosome. “Please call your dog!”

The woman shouted the dog’s name. No response as the little shit kept advancing towards me. Exasperated, by the dog’s selective hearing, she ran over and scooped up the mutt. Then  she went about whispering sweet nothings into its ears while cuddling it. 



Not exactly a Pavlov’s Dog training regime. Wouldn’t you say? She pawed the puppy with public displays of affection for bad behavior? WTF! 

There were no words of apology issued either.

I screwed around some more (with higher blood pressure) reckoning they’re young and will hike faster than me.

WRONG! 



Apparently, they were in Olympic training mode for the “One mile mosey” competition. I caught them in 15 minutes. Once again, the Napoleon complex dog charged me. Once again I yelled out. “Please call your dog!” It was doggy Deja Vu all over again. But this time the little turd jumped up and snapped at my calf. It missed. I raised my hiking stick up in a menacing manner. “Don’t let me do something all of us will later regret!” She snagged the attacker and once again coo-cooed into its pointy years and hugged it.

At least, this time she issued a lame. “Sorry.” The Dude called out, “Have a nice day!” While my blood pressure crept up along with my anger. 



I forged ahead and took a detour to check out a retro bitcoin mine. Once again, I figured the threesome would get way ahead of me resulting in no more Jeffie vs. canine confrontations.



WRONG II !!! 

In less than a Sambini second, I spotted them ahead, moving at the incredible speed of one step/minute. 

At this point I said, “F—k it!” I don’t want to deal with this shit again. I don’t hike in beautiful places to be harassed and hassled.”

I headed downhill in an unhappy state of mind.



Now some Jeffie Dog History. I don’t own a dog and probably will never own a dog. That being said, I’d consider myself to be dog neutral. If a strangers dog leaves me alone, no problem. There’s no need for me to pet it or exchange contact info so we can become Facebook buddies. However, I will quickly warm up to a well trained friendly dog. I’ve been known to pet,  tail wagging pooches briefly, while saying. “You’re a good dog, a friendly dog. I like you.” 



So here’s my point. We live in society where dogs have been elevated to the status of “fur babies.” Fine! But please take the time to train your four legged child to heel or else place them on a leash. This small gesture would be appreciated by wildlife, humans with cynophobia (fear of dogs) and me.  Woof! Woof! 



Dog owners! Please consider this! A former no fake news post about wildlife vs. dog concerns.  (The wildlife loses).

This Schadenfreude moment…



is brought to you by the vilest human on the planet’s (birthday) and military parade. At an estimated cost of $25-45 million, it’ll be far less than what it’ll cost Tommy Trumper to haul his precariously placed pickup truck off that road to nowhere.

Poor Tommy. He doesn’t believe in the Rule of Law so why would he believe in the Law of Physics?

I’m guessing there will be a GoFundMe to pay for the extraction. It’ll be the BIGLY equivalent of many Bud Lights. I don’t plan on donating. 

Thoughts and prayers Tommy!

Feel free to spread the moment. We’ll take our victories while we can since we are heavily outgunned, outmaneuvered and outmanned.

This is incipient Anarchy…

Since June 16th, 2015 when the Vilest Man in the World 🌎 descended an escalator in New York’s Trump Tower (spit) and Molotov cocktailed his MAGA hat into ring, I’ve been issuing warnings. 

I predicted his Armageddon One term would be divisive, incompetent and chaotic.  It was. In 2020, the voting population thought so too. It was so bad an incumbent was decimated at the polls. 

Unfortunately the Trump turd endured despite the January 6th, 2021 attempted  coup. One thing I have to admit about this scumbag, he makes up for his complete shamelessness with incredible persistence. A true ME ME ME sociopath. 

In 2024, a nauseating turnaround occurred. My Fellow Mericans had mass historical amnesia. They forgot how unpalatable this human shit 💩 sandwich was. They re-elected him. 



Here’s my not-so-genteel take of that moment.


Now we’re seeing the predictable results. Chaos Squared  Executive Orders issued on “emergencies” where hours before there weren’t any. (A classic “Look up! The sky is falling” attention getting device.) All while  flipping off the Rule of Law, the Constitution and basic common sense and decency. It’s so easy to write orders when all the above are ignored, disrespected and violated.

Or as our wannabe Fuhrer proclaims, “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law” 

This quote is loosely attributed to another Dictator. Napoleon Bonaparte. 



Before I rant about the Mariana Trench low points of the Commander of Chaos’ regime, let’s go back to the Cabinet confirmations of a cast of charlatans.



From Fox Fear Network Merica received Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. Pete was a pretty boy commentator for the of Fox and Friends Weekend edition (Puke). With this former  (highest rank Major)  National Guardsman in charge of the largest Military complex in the world. His confirmation went down to the wire amid allegations of sexual improprieties, alcohol abuse, (I’ll drink to that!) and financial mismanagement. It took JD (Juvenile Delinquent) Vance to save this 44 year old putz’ ass to secure that 51st vote.  Despicable.



From the authors of Project 2025 (AKA the Anarchist Guide to Incompetent Gobment)  Merica scored a bevy of anti-Gobment Trumpers who are completely at ease with there being only one branch of Gobment. The Executive Branch. There’s rumors each Project 2025 appointee prays each morning  at their very own Trump altar. Of course it’s equipped with a God Bless Merica Trump Bible. Google hypo-Christian nerds and there’s a good chance  Russell Vought director of the Office of Management and Budget will pop up.





 In the Department of Education, there’s Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment. I’d say that’s a smack down for public education. 

Health and Human Services, we now have RFK Junior, former heroin addict, appetizer for a parasitic brain worm and presidential candidate. For this gig Bobby Junior pledged his brain worm and used needles in a show of support to a populist parasite. Once RFK Junior came into power, 10,000 HHS positions were sent to the coroner. The CDC, National Institute of Health and the Food and Drug Administration have been affected and not in a good way. At least the anti-vaxxer didn’t give the brain worm an assistant secretary of Health gig.



Kristi Noem is now the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Her motto? “I want to treat immigrants as good as my dogs and goats. I’ll shoot them!”

Yes, all these creeps were confirmed by a Republican controlled Senate. Although Matt Gaezt was deemed too repulsive to be Merica’s AG. Now we are stuck with Trump Toadie Pam Bondi. 

The Republican AG appeared on Fox News this week, and marked Fentanyl Awareness Day with a curious claim. “In President Trump’s first 100 days, we’ve seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 million lives,” Bondi said.

I can’t speak for all Mericans, but in my circle of friends, family and acquaintances, I don’t know anyone who uses fentanyl. So where does this drug addled inflated BS number come from? (Currently the US population is 340 million.) Mind you, this is the AG talking trash. The supposed watchdog of “Truth, Justice and the American Way!” (Where’s Superman when you need him?) 
 
Yes, it was a confirmation of worst case scenario cabinet members. Trump the chess master sat back and thought, “Check!”

Here’s a partial list of his executive atrocities: (there’s a BIGLY amount)

Emperor Donald has issued 143 Executive Orders so far. An unheard of amount in such a short time.The subjects range from DEI, immigration, birthright citizenship, tariffs, withdrawing from the Paris Agreement (again), government accountability  and the hot button issue of low flow shower heads. His grubby, greedy fat fingers are all over the map. Of course, there’s been legal pushback. “More than 200 Federal lawsuits have challenged Trump’s new policies, with multiple judges temporarily blocking his priorities.” Source: USA Today

The unsecured Signal chat announcing Merica’s military plans against the Houthis of Yemen. (Complete with macho emojis) Followed by another militarily compromising Signal chat to Hegseth’s family members. At least Pete didn’t crow, “Hi Honey I blew up the Houthis.”



The deportation of a Maryland citizen (Kilmar Garcia who was granted “withholding of removal” status by a judge in 2019) to a El Salvador prison due to a case of mistaken tattoo identity. Dastardly Donald won’t admit to the “Whoops! I hate when that happens.” and deemed Mister Garcia guilty, just because. Don dislikes due process.

The on and all again tariffs, thereby created high and lows in the stock market with inside trading galore. As Trump said on (Un)Truth Social, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” Just before the stock market jumped. 



Many of the tariffs are in effect, most impacting the bottom line for those with the least amount of savings and disposable income to begin with. This factoid from the New York Times says it all.


Just when you think we’ve hit the low bar, BUT NO! Here’s  another corrupt con. The Trump issued crypto-scam meme coins, complete with the ultimate pay to play. The top scam coin holders get to share a sumptuous dinner with #47. (cheesy burgers washed down with Diet Cokes). Such a deal! GAG!

Laura “Looney Tunes” Loomer’s Q’Anon trip to the Oval Office where she wielded papers baring hearsay of “disloyalty” on members of the National Security Council. Gone are General Haugh (head of the National Security Agency and US Cyber Command.) and his deputy Wendy Noble. There’s unsubstantiated talk Laura gave a “hand job” to the Jerk Off in Chief to seal the deal. But it’s just talk. 



Lastly (for the sake of brevity since there’s so much material), Elon Musk DOGE’s agenda of Federal layoffs in a lame effort to reduce the Federal budget. Using the Tech  Twerps credo, “Move fast and break things.” the Ketamine addict slashed Federal Agencies with little to no regard for their impact on our health, education, climate, foreign policies, scientific research/development and environmental protections. 

That’s just one level of abominations. Musk ordered his army of mini Tech Twerps to harvest sensitive data on many of our fellow Mericans. All this orchestrated by a unelected and unconfirmed White Nationalist. Where’s the outrage from Republicans about Gobment overreach?

Here’s a few old posts on this subject:



I’m not the only one concerned with this daily assault on democracy combined with a “Shock and Aww Fuck” brutality. 

Below is a recent New York Times/Siena College poll. My guess is the 42% who consider events “exciting” were diehard  fans of “The Apprentice.” 





By now you’re thinking. Jeffie is sure opinionated. I wonder where he thinks this will end. 

Here’s my take.

If the Grim Reaper doesn’t appear on the scene, Trump and the Republican Party will be backed into a corner. There’s nothing quite as dangerous as a trapped predator. The Commander of Chaos will follow the lead of his historical mentor. Adolf Hitler. There will be a “Reichstag Fire” event. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire

This will precipitate another “National Emergency.” Trump will then declare Martial Law, unleashing unlawful arrests and round ups. The wannabe Dictator will then sit back, sip his Diet Coke and declare. “Checkmate!”

We are in a fine mess. 

But wait there’s Pope!
