Happy Halloween: But Why Trick Federal Workers to Treat MAGA Oligarchs

Friday, October 31, 2025 at 9:15 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall
Halloween images of Mike Johnson and Donald Trump

Speaker Mike Johnson says God made him Speaker, but iPINIONS contends that his faith seems better suited for feeding Trump’s ego than feeding America’s hungry. With federal workers losing paychecks, SNAP benefits on the brink, and Trump hoarding billions for his cronies, this Halloween’s real monsters aren’t in masks; they’re in Congress. Read my full… Read more.

The Kennedys: From Camelot to Spamalot

The Kennedys feature RFK and Jack Schlossberg

Not that long ago, Americans treated the Kennedys like royalty. JFK inspired a nation. RFK embodied its conscience. Today, the family name is trading like a meme coin — bouncing between cable nostalgia docs and social media trainwrecks. iPINIONS contends that, from JFK’s White House glamour to his grandson’s TikTok stunts, Camelot has morphed into… Read more.

Written by Anthony L. Hall
Elon and Trump Oval office DOGE farewell

Trump tapped Elon Musk to reform the federal government. Predictably, Musk got high on ketamine, fired essential workers, gutted lifesaving aid programs, and quit — leaving the public sector in flames. His farewell on Friday coincided with a damning exposé about his drug-fueled dysfunction, and with new reports that his “reform” may have killed more… Read more.

image of Trump Always Chickens Out TACO hats

Trump says he always fights back… But this hat says he always chickens out. Designed by iPINIONS for folks who know bluster when they see it. Available in red or black. And “TACO” tag on the back — in case the front wasn’t spicy enough. $25 (because you can’t put a price on petty). Order… Read more.

The Orange Reaper: When Carrots and the US President Promise Health but Deliver Harm

juxtaposing orange carrots and orange Trump after e coli outbreak

My heart goes out to the consumers affected, especially the loved ones of the person who died. But this recall compels me to share that the ridiculous Peyronie’s ad that keeps popping up on my TV put me off eating carrots long ago. Perhaps it will now serve as a PSA in more ways than… Read more.

Cartoon of Trump giving himself a Valentine with Melania refusing to let him into their limo inset

Love in the time of fundraising Or Trump is just a grifter grifting as grifters grift. Because, even on Valentine’s Day, Trump thinks only suckers are into flowers blooming and hearts fluttering. Former President Trump wished former first lady Melania Trump a Happy Valentine’s Day on Wednesday by thanking her for her support throughout his various criminal cases.… Read more.
