The Joke That Broke Its Teeth
Hollow Shells, Little Tools of Little men
I thought about a humorous story
Then I searched for humor
In today’s dystopian Nazi world of their glory.
It Failed to give humor or kindness,
To anything that creates laughter
I chipped a tooth while eating a taquito.
So,
That was funny for a minute.
Of time
Then I realized a dentist visit
Was to be.
For me
Then I thought about
2026 of losing benefits.
Education system says certain degrees,
Are nothing to Nazis!
The realm of evil is omnipotent.
But so are peace and love.
Omnipotent
So, let us look around.
Our environment is being poisoned by,
White patriarchy of demons
The funny world of their glory
This is nothing but demonic and no glory,
Is seen.
No funnies
Just violence and putting down.
Anything that is not white patriarchy male.
It is stale.
They are predators that rape young women and boys.
Their toys
Are death, war, famine, and glutinousness behavior.
Of hate, and emotional trauma to put on anyone that is not like them.
They are spineless liars, rapists, child molesters, and crime is their God they worship.
The golden calf is what they celebrate,
With filet mignon and wine
While the single mom struggles
To put food on the table.
The white patriarchy blames it on
The women, LBGTQ, homeless, and the poor.
What humor is there in watching a fat Nazi glorify his existence by?
Hurting children, women, or people of color to make themselves appear glorified in gold.
They are weak little men.
With little tools
Of fools
Thinking about 2025
We do not see their own facade of hate.
They have a dark aura around their own bodies,
Black goo pours from their veins.
As they are insane
Psychopaths
Child molesters
Narcissistic
Sociopaths
Ugly
No souls
Empty shells
Worms eat their brains.
As they spread lies and hate
As they create more ways to murder us all
Are we going to allow this to happen?
No
Narcissistic
Sociopaths
Ugly
No souls
Empty shells
Worms eat their brains.
As they spread lies and hate
As they create more ways to murder us all
Are we going to allow this to happen?
No one should accept this behavior.
Greed, crime, rape, child trafficking, thievery, liars,
Death, destruction, and violence. They are obnoxious, rude, ugly white men with tiny tools.
I want to laugh again.
I want to dance again.
I want to smile again.
When you walk out the door with a smile and grin to say hi to a passerby. Then that person stares at you. They say, “I saw you not pick that dog poop up, so, here is the photo for management to punish you.” You tell the lady with nothing better to do than concentrate on poop that you do not know what she is talking about. She yells at you, “that is okay I will turn you into management for dog poop on the property. That is the expression of a society of poop. I do not like it.
The Joke That Broke Its Teeth
Hollow Shells, Little Tools of Little men
I thought about a humorous story.
I searched for laughter,
but in today’s dystopian world of their glory,
humor failed to arrive.
Kindness failed to arrive.
Nothing rose to give us laughter.
I chipped a tooth while eating a taquito.
For a minute, the event was funny.
Then the dentist visits loomed,
and the joke collapsed into bureaucracy.
I thought about 2026,
about losing benefits,
about an education system that declares
certain degrees are nothing.
Nothing to Nazis.
Nothing to the realm of evil.
But peace and love are omnipotent too.
So I look around.
The environment poisoned,
the patriarchy of demons laughing at their own glory.
But there is no glory.
No funnies.
Just violence.
Just the crushing of anyone who is not them.
Predators.
Rapists.
Molesters.
Their toys are death, war, famine,
and grotesque behavior.
They worship crime as God.
They celebrate the golden calf
with filet mignon and wine
while the single mom struggles
to put food on the table.
They blame women,
the LGBTQ,
the homeless,
the poor.
What humor is there
in watching a fat tyrant glorify himself
by torturing children, women,
people of color?
They are weak little men
with little tools,
thinking their façade of hate
is invisible.
They point their fingers at the women.
At the different,
At the broken.
At the poor.
Where is the joke?
Watching a bloated king
get high on cruelty?
Torturing the children to polish his gold?
They are small men.
With tiny tools.
Thinking about their glass house
is a fortress of stone.
But we see right through it.
They feed the women to the wolves.
They scapegoat the outcasts.
and the ones sleeping on concrete.
Tell me, where is the humor?
In a fat tyrant gorging on pain?
Building a monument to himself
out of the bones of children?
They are weak.
Hollow shells.
Waving little tools of destruction.
They think their mask of hate hides the rot.
But the rot is all we see.
The blame falls,
On the mother, the lover, the beggar, the lost.
Is this the comedy they promised?
A gluttonous idol,
glorifying his own reflection
in the tears of the innocent.
They are such little men.
Wielding the smallest of tools.
Believing their façade is a shield.
But it is only a veil.
And it is thin.
But we see it.
We see the dark aura.
We see the black goo pouring from their veins.
We see the empty shells,
brains eaten by worms,
spreading lies and hate,
inventing new ways to murder us all.
And I ask:
Are we going to allow this to happen?
No.
The Feathered Producer Speaks
Before the movie even begins, my executive Feathered producer swoops in with her ceremonial tweet stamped at the opening like a sovereign seal. She insisted her version of the song take the front stage, but I held cadence: mine first, her second, and the rock cut trimmed into a mythic encore.
The clash was comic, feathers flying, but the archive absorbed it. By the end, her tweet returned like a refrain, stamped several times as closing credits. Balance restored. Seeds eaten. Silence achieved.
This vignette logged as proof: even the smallest producer can demand mythic authority, but sovereign cadence always holds.
Saved and love my Sweetie Bird.

“Care Is the Flame They Fear”
The Department of Education announced this reclassification plan in early November 2025, and it is tied to the implementation of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” passed in July 2025. The Department has said final rules will be released by spring 2026, so the changes are not yet in effect but are expected to take hold then.

Opposition Leader Machado Says Her Coalition Should Lead Venezuela
Venezuela finds itself at a pivotal moment in history as the political landscape continues to shift dramatically in the aftermath of the ouster of long‑time ruler Nicolás Maduro. At the center of this turbulent transition is María Corina Machado, a leading opposition figure who has asserted that her coalition is the rightful choice to lead the South American nation forward. Her declaration comes amid uncertainty about Venezuela’s political future and competing claims to power. � Sandhills Express A Leader Poised for Change María Corina Machado, a seasoned politician and former legislator, has long been one of the most vocal critics of the Maduro regime. In a recent interview, she told U.S. media that Venezuelans have “already chosen” her coalition to govern the country now that Maduro has been removed from power. Machado said “absolutely yes” when asked whether that means she should be Venezuela’s next leader — insisting that her coalition is “ready and willing to serve our people, as we have been mandated.” � Sandhills Express Machado’s comments underscore a broader struggle over legitimacy and leadership in a nation marked by years of political crisis, economic hardship, and mass migration. Her coalition’s claim to leadership hinges not only on recent political developments but also on the contested results of the 2024 presidential election — widely criticized for fraud and irregularities by international observers and opposition leaders. � Sandhills Express The Context of Maduro’s Removal Maduro’s removal from power followed a bold U.S. military operation that culminated in his arrest. The move shocked many around the world and immediately transformed Venezuela’s political dynamics. While some saw it as a necessary step toward justice and democratic renewal, others warned of the risks inherent in external military intervention in a sovereign nation. � theguardian.com In the immediate aftermath, Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, was named interim president by Venezuela’s highest court. Rodríguez — a figure closely associated with Maduro’s administration — has since attempted to assert authority, even as Machado and her supporters reject her legitimacy and character. Machado has labeled Rodríguez as “one of the main architects” of the regime’s repressive tactics, including alleged human rights abuses. � cbsnews.com Claiming the Mandate Machado’s assertion that her coalition should govern is rooted in her political standing within Venezuela’s opposition movement. She won the opposition primary for the 2024 election by a significant margin, even though she was barred from running against Maduro by government authorities. In her place, retired diplomat Edmundo González stood as the opposition’s candidate — a nomination Machado now points to as further evidence that her movement represents the will of the people. � Sandhills Express Her claim is further bolstered by international recognition of González as the legitimate winner of the contested 2024 presidential election. Although Rodríguez currently holds formal authority in Caracas, Machado insists that it is fundamentally the opposition coalition — and by extension her leadership — that should shape Venezuela’s next chapter. � Sandhills Express Support and Skepticism Opinions on Machado’s leadership vary widely within Venezuela and abroad. Internationally, some governments and analysts view her as a symbol of democratic resistance against decades of authoritarian rule. Machado’s coalition has long championed free elections, sovereignty, and economic reform — positions that resonate with many Venezuelans who have endured hyperinflation, shortages, and a refugee crisis that has pushed millions to leave the country. � euronews However, not all support her claim. Even in the United States — which played a central role in Maduro’s removal — figures such as former president Donald Trump have publicly questioned her suitability as Venezuela’s leader, suggesting that she lacks widespread respect within the country. Trump’s stance highlights the complex dance between international influence and domestic legitimacy in Venezuelan politics. � Sandhills Express A Road Paved With Challenges Machado’s path forward is far from guaranteed. Venezuela remains deeply polarized, and power structures loyal to the old regime persist within the military and judiciary. These forces could complicate any attempt by Machado or her coalition to assume leadership on the ground, even if they enjoy strong popular support outside the country. � theguardian.com Machado herself has hinted that any return to Venezuelan soil may be imminent, as she maintains plans to lead the transition and eventually win a free and fair election. But with the interim government under Rodríguez, and internal factions jockeying for control, the coming weeks will likely be marked by intense political negotiations and possibly further unrest. � geo.tv The Broader Stakes The situation in Venezuela is not just an internal political dispute — it carries significant regional and global implications. Neighboring countries, many host to Venezuelan refugees, are watching closely. International alliances may realign depending on how the leadership question is resolved. And for Venezuelans inside and outside the country, Machado’s bid represents both hope for democratic renewal and the uncertainty of an unpredictable transition. Whether Machado and her coalition will ultimately lead Venezuela remains to be seen. But her emphatic declaration that her movement is ready to serve underscores the deep yearning among many Venezuelans for political change after years of hardship.
