Hey, wait for us; we love a good beef

By Jon Bauer / Herald Opinion Editor

Having received no notice from Elon Musk regarding our employment — and only a hefty increase in our health insurance premiums — The Buzz lives to snark another day.

“Drats,” said Putin. “If only we had a navy and nuclear missiles”: President Trump traded barbs with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, following talks about a potential peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that included representatives of the U.S. and Russia but excluded any participation by Ukraine. Among the criticisms hurled by Trump were false accusations that Ukraine started the war and false statements regarding Zelensky’s standing in his nation’s polls and the amount of aid the U.S. has provided to Ukraine, nearly tripling the actual figure. Trump further noted that the war was more important to Europe than it was to the U.S. because “We have a big beautiful Ocean as separation.”

Noting the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Iwo Jima earlier this week, would someone in the White House please Google “ocean between United States and Japan” and “attack on Pearl Harbor” for the president.

Sic him, Grok 3! In other verbal fisticuffs, former Trump 1.0 chief strategist Steve Bannon continued his attacks on Special Government Employee™ Elon Musk regarding his work with the Department of Government Efficiency, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant” who “wants to play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values or traditions.” In response, Musk posted on X that “Bannon was a great talker but not a great doer. What has he done this week? Nothing?”
