BREAKING NEWS Pam Bondi Demands Removal of “Taco Trump” References or Criminal ProsecutionTampa, FL, May 30, 2025 — Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi today issued a formal cease-and-desist directive to all individuals and media platforms: immediately remove any use of the epithet “Taco Trump” in reference to President Donald J. Trump, or face criminal charges.
“ENOUGH WITH THE TACO NONSENSE!”“Let me be crystal clear,” Bondi roared in her typically polished yet venom-drizzled tone, “if you utter that ridiculous ‘Taco Trump’ slur one more time, I’ll personally track you down with more tenacity than I hunted down embezzlers in Tallahassee. This is not a drill, this is not satire—oh wait… yes it is satire, but you still better zip it!”
The Mexican snack that broke the camel’s back“I’ve tolerated every absurd nickname,” she continued, “from Crooked Hillary’s many crimes to Sleepy Joe’s naptime excuses. But this ‘Taco Trump’ business is crossing a line. Tacos are delicious, they deserve respect, & associating them with political theatre is a slap in the face to cilantro lovers everywhere.”
Threat level: BondiSources close to Bondi’s inner circle (read: her closest hairdresser) confirm she’s drafted a three-page cease-and-desist, complete with bullet-pointed legalese and a pie chart illustrating “Taco-Based Political Insults Over Time.” Whoever coined “Taco Trump” has approximately 48 hours before they receive a strongly worded letter thicker than the Constitution.
BOTTOM LINEPam Bondi has drawn her line in the sand (or salsa), issuing a public ultimatum: mention “taco” in any “Taco Trump” context, & you’ll face legal fire hotter than a habanero. Whether this will stop the internet’s latest meme-obsession or merely fuel the next viral truth-bomb remains to be seen.Disclaimer: This entire statement is parody. No tacos were harmed in the making of this press release. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or guacamole-less, is purely intentional.
There have been a number of clever names bestowed upon Donald Trump:
Felon 47
Cadet Bonespurs
The Lyin’ King
Grifter-in-Chief
IMPOTUS
Don the Con
Tub-A-Lardo
But leave it to Wall Street to come up with the best yet.
In tribute (if that’s the correct word) to his vacillating on tariffs and his propensity to blink first in dealings with adversaries, they’ve dubbed him TACO, a simple acronym for “Trump Always Chickens Out,” a moniker that has Agent Orange (that’s another one) fuming.
(It’s really amazing how quickly the cartoonists seize upon an issue)
When a reporter asked him yesterday (Wednesday) about the reports that Wall Street traders are loading up and dumping stocks based on der Führer’s (still another) erratic back and forth on tariffs, he erupted in classic Trumpian style, first denying that he had done anything more than win a tough round of negotiations, and then chastising the reporter for asking what he described as “one of the nastiest questions imaginable.”
This guy calling anyone nasty is truly laughable. I mean lying down, rolling around on the floor, holding one’s sides until your entire body goes limp laughing.
This goes way beyond the pot calling the kettle anything. It surpasses the evil of Darth Vader, Anton Chiguth (No Country for Old Men), the Joker, Hannibal Lecter and Nurse Ratched combined (well, maybe not Nurse Ratched – she’s pretty bad).
As Exhibit A, I give you The Art of the Steal’s (yet another) latest screed on Truth Social:
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY TO ALL, INCLUDING THE SCUM THAT SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS TRYING TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY THROUGH WARPED RADICAL LEFT MINDS, WHO ALLOWED 21,000,000 MILLION PEOPLE TO ILLEGALLY ENTER OUR COUNTRY, MANY OF THEM BEING CRIMINALS AND THE MENTALLY INSANE,THROUGH AN OPEN BORDER THAT ONLY AN INCOMPETENT PRESIDENT WOULD APPROVE, AND THROUGH JUDGES WHO ARE ON A MISSION TO KEEP MURDERERS, DRUG DEALERS, RAPISTS, GANG MEMBERS, AND RELEASED PRISONERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD, IN OUR COUNTRY SO THEY CAN ROB, MURDER, AND RAPE AGAIN — ALL PROTECTED BY THESE USA HATING JUDGES WHO SUFFER FROM AN IDEOLOGY THAT IS SICK, AND VERY DANGEROUS FOR OUR COUNTRY. HOPEFULLY THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT, AND OTHER GOOD AND COMPASSIONATE JUDGES THROUGHOUT THE LAND, WILL SAVE US FROM THE DECISIONS OF THE MONSTERS WHO WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO TO HELL. BUT FEAR NOT, WE HAVE MADE GREAT PROGRESS OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS, AND AMERICA WILL SOON BE SAFE AND GREAT AGAIN! AGAIN, HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, AND GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Just as a way of clarification, the all-caps format is not mine, but his. When he’s on a rant, that’s the way he likes to make a point – by the internet equivalent of shouting.
If that isn’t the typical schoolyard bully, I don’t know what is: deflect by blaming everyone else for being what you are in spades. All he needs to do now is roll around on the floor or hold his breath until he turns blue (but who would know, under all that orange pancake makeup?)
And by writing “21,000,000 million,” I assume he must mean that 21 trillion illegal immigrants have somehow flooded into this country. There have not been 21 trillion humans combined in all of earth’s history (the actual estimate if 108 billion), much less that many illegals in this country. (And, by the way, the total border crossing under the Biden administration is 6.7 million, not 21 million.)
Did they not teach math in the Wharton School of Business?
But TACO. That’s a new low, coming from the cats on Wall Street – and the most fitting label yet.
The most recent meeting of the St. Tammany Parish Democratic Parish Executive Committee (DPEC) was contentious to say the least. Within just a few minutes of DPEC Chair Peter Lewis opening the meeting it quickly devolved into shouting and finger pointing.
Lewis, started the meeting by introducing Sargent-at-Arms Landon Washington and admonishing DPEC members that he would conduct the meeting. Immediately, DPEC members voiced opposition to Lewis’s plans for the meeting.
The agenda was limited to only what Lewis wanted to discuss. No New Business. No Old Business. He immediately accused DPEC members of being against him and acting nefariously behind his back at the quickly called Town Hall on April 17. The Town Hall was organized by some DPEC members when Lewis canceled the regularly scheduled DPEC meeting without notice.
Grievances were aired by DPEC members which were ultimately published in a local blog.
During the meeting on May 22, held in the Covington City Council Chambers (Lewis is a City Councilman), Lewis tried to hold tight fisted control of the meeting cutting off anyone who might want to speak. He carefully orchestrated a report by Vice Chair Gayle Green which he and she labeled an “investigation.” That investigation was their attempt to respond to all objections brought forth at the April meeting.
Several DPEC members, led by David Shapiro, District 5 representative, quickly rose to voice objections. Shapiro was followed by several DPEC members also rising.
And that’s when the real ruckus started. Lewis admonished them and directed the Sargent-at-Arms to remove Shapiro from the meeting. Those also standing in objection too Lewis were Jeremy Thompson, District 1, Sarah Cook, At-Large member, Ruby Porter, District 6, and Allison Mathas, District 4. Many attendees in the gallery also yelled opposition to Lewis’s handling of the meeting.
Once Gayle Green finished reading her report on her investigation, which was read suspiciously like she had never read it before that night, it was former treasurer Marie Wade’s turn to address the allegations of the April meeting. Wade accused Thompson of be deceitful and lying about his actions regarding the social media platforms of the DPEC.
Wade read from emails between she and current treasurer Erin Riecke Rowan. Wade referenced the emails as though they were in chronological order since the day Rowan been designated as treasurer. With shouts of “you’re failing us” numerous members of the gallery began throwing their arms up in the air in frustration.
“There are rules we have to follow,” Thompson. “He doesn’t get to make them. That’s not how this works.”
“We are here for this one reason. Disruption. Disrespect and disregard for the person elected to run this DPEC,” Lewis responded. “I was elected to run this DPEC,” said Lewis, who also happens to be a Covington City Councilman.
Despite members actually raising their hand like they were in elementary school, Lewis refused to allow anyone else to speak.
Former DPEC and current Democratic State Central Committee member Joan Simon was outraged. She stood trying to be recognized.
Again, Lewis refused. Then he pulled out a prepared statement and began reading.
The meeting devolved and with several of those in attendance shouting out concerns and opposition, David Shapiro was escorted out. When people asked if they were going to be allowed to speak Lewis shouted them down.
A short time later, with the Sargent-at-Arms standing by his side, Lewis called for the Covington Police Department to come to the Council Chambers. When the police arrived Lewis directed them to “clear my chambers.”
“I need them to all get out,” said Lewis. People in the gallery objected to being thrown out without even a motion to adjourn. The police said that due to a disturbance in the chambers everyone had to get out.
“Seventy-seven years old and I have never seen such nonsense in a public meeting,” said enraged and frustrated Simon.
Jeremy Thompson, Second Vice Chair, has called another DPEC meeting for June 3 at a local restaurant to discuss changes to the DPEC By-laws.
A reader sent the following. It was written by his brother’s stepdaughter and her words says what so many of us think and know but are unable to put into the proper words:
Any one thing he’s done should be enough to have people screaming nonstop in the streets, but there is just so very, very many things it’s all getting lost. The fact that the politicians and leaders who are supposed to support, protect, and answer to us are either standing back or helping it happen is sowing even more confusion.
It doesn’t help that nearly every source that brings us news or what’s really happening also bashes people who supported Trump continuously. We have all, sometime in our life, gotten conned. They were conned with help from billionaires, news networks, social media platforms, and even by their trust in religious leaders, who overwhelmingly supported Trump’s anti-abortion platform and thus Trump himself, by phones and computers that showed them only articles of the kind they liked. They were conned in part because a large number of them believed our government itself needed reform, just as a large portion of us do. Make no mistake, they were systematically brainwashed by trusted media sources and trusted people for years. Pretty much the first principles they were convinced of was “trust no one else”, “fake news”, “make America great again”.
I don’t think there were many people who realized just how isolated and dependent on only Trump supporting news they were. I know I assumed that many of them, most of them were hearing/reading the same news stories I was and were just ignoring the parts they didn’t like but the truth I’m coming to realize is that the news they got was almost completely different from what I read. Also, even if they tried to check by computer/phone search, due to algorithms and cookies, they almost always received articles of the type and from the sources they read frequently, that they trusted. Which just backed up their beliefs, because how many of us would believe an ordinary friend/family member over well trusted official news media?
They, or a lot of them anyway, aren’t idiots (any more than we are), they were systematically betrayed. Calling them stupid isn’t just wrong – it puts them in a corner, backs to the wall, trying desperately to defend themselves from us… usually by defending the world-view they’ve been convinced of. Most of them are NOT horrible people, any more than most of us are, but they’ve been CONNED by horrible people. They are just as desperate to fix things as we are, they’ve just been convinced that Trump will do so.
Just maybe, the next time you talk to one, leave Trump out of it, phrase it more about the things that are happening and the fallout from that.
A conversation such as libraries is a good thing, a right of the American public that gives anyone of us enjoyment and education. Something we deserve, that we’ve paid for, that’s being put at huge risk by pulled funding.
Show them articles that speak of what’s going on without blaming THEM. In the end we should be blaming the conmen who betrayed them, who betrayed us, who are betraying everything good about America.

To those thoughtful words, I would add that on June 14, there will be a series of “No Kings Day” rallies throughout this great and wonderful nation that was founded on the premise that we shall not be ruled by a king. Several of these rallies will be held across Louisiana. Yeah, I know the middle of June is going to be hot and humid but we need to get off our collective derrieres and let this tyrant in our house know that he’s not entitled to throw himself a $92 million birthday parade as long as there one homeless person, one hungry mouth, one sick person going without medical care or one disable veteran unable to get help. Find out where the nearest rally to you will be and ATTEND, make some noise.
It’s noteworthy, too, to mention that a Washington Post story on Tuesday that deep personnel cuts at Veterans Affairs is crippling employee morale. Wonder what it’s doing to the morale of veterans in need of help?
Even more telling, the stories says, and this is a direct quote, “Many Democrats have already seized on President Donald Trump’s VA cuts as damaging to veterans, and some Republicans worry about the political risks of firings and other reductions at the agency.”
And there we have it. Republicans are concerned about the “political risks.”
Funny, but that sounds like something I’ve been screaming about for years now. They are more concerned about political fallout than they are about the welfare of those who have fought their wars over oil and who now need our help.
Please let that sink in. We have four Republican members of the House, including the Speaker himself, who voted for a bill that allows this reality star to literally ignore a court order. And we have two Republican senators who, I’m willing to bet my retirement check, will vote likewise on the bill.
Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” is big all right but its beauty lies only in the eyes of America’s wealthiest while yanking life-sustaining benefits from the very ones who voted en masse to reinstall Tub-A-Lardo in the Oval Office.
Click HERE to see just how the bill is so heavily-weighted in favor of the rich and to the detriment of lower income Americans.
Bringing it closer to home, the cuts to Medicaid will be a direct hit to Louisiana.
Cancer alley? Fuggetaboutit. Cuts to CANCER RESEARCH will affect cancer research and eliminate hundreds of jobs in the process. Universities likewise will feel the pinch of reduced grant funding for research.
The most sinister provision of the “big, beautiful bill,” hidden deep into the document is one that would limit the ability of courts – including the U.S. Supreme Court – from having any ENFORCEMENT TEETH. That would allow Trump to ignore court orders with impunity and would gut the very premise of the system of checks and balances that was established by the founding fathers 250 years ago.
Worse, it would completely remove what little guardrails still exist to prevent Trump from becoming what he so desires: a dictator with unquestionable authority.
The bill, which now goes to the Senate, barely passed the House by a single vote, 215-214.

The bill, which now goes to the Senate, barely passed the House by a single vote, 215-214.
Guess who among the six Louisiana representatives voted for the bill. A hint: EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN. Steve KKK Scalise, Clay “Cajun John Wayne” Higgins, Mike “I have a porn app on my phone” Johnson and Julia “I’m running for the Senate” Letlow.
Line up, march in lockstep to the Kool-Aid dispenser. That’s the mantra of the four Louisiana Republicans.
Voters would do well to remember that for the 2026 mid-terms. These are not people who have the interests of Louisianans at heart.
These are people whose first – and only – priority is to get themselves reelected.
These are egomaniacs bent on doing whatever it takes to stay in office, including undermining the interests of their constituents.
They are there to serve – themselves. Period.
And you can bet that when the Senate votes on this bill, Sens. Bill Cassidy and John Neely Kennedy will fall right in line and vote for it. They will not, under any circumstances, cross the boss, derFührer.
Fiscal responsibility? That’s been the theme of the Republican Party for years. Yet, this big, beautiful bill would raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $4 trillion (with a T). That’s on top of the $8 trillion increase during his first term. Fiscal responsibility? That’s a myth with the Republicans.
I would suggest you go online and read the bill. But the thing is 1,000 pages. No one is going to take the time to read all that – and they really don’t want you to.. In fact, I’d bet there are precious few members of Congress who have actually read it. They don’t need to – if Trump wants them to vote for it, that’s all that matters. Repeat: That’s all that matters.
Here’s something else to think about when your benefits are cut, when your health insurance companies start denying claims, when Trump’s tariffs kick in and housing, cars, computers, fruit, clothing and other imported consumer products increase in price but your salary does not, just think about whom you voted for.
When you see a $252,000 tax cut for the richest Americans, you can take comfort in the knowledge that the poorest among us will realize a tax reduction of $70. Middle-income Americans will realize tax breaks ranging from $2,000 to $4,000. Nice, but a far cry from $252,000 for the richest or even $61,000 for the top 1 percent. And that $70 tax break? It’ll be more than offset by thousands of dollars in increased medical costs that will no longer be covered.
And when all that happens – and it surely will if this bill passes – you won’t have Joe Biden to blame.
