  • Bertha Talks Cutbacks..

    Bertha knows all too well how cutbacks affect people. Bertha isn’t having any of it. Like humans she too is feeling the pain and suffering of having go without or make do. It’s more than not having funds to get her waxing, tans, implant repairs, new wigs. She has figured other ways to bypass all of that. Duct tape is great; oy she could do a whole list of new uses she discovered. Bicycle pumps, so much more than a tool for inflation, ahem, Viagra? Crisco, Preparation H, Harnesses, oh she has used them all. You go girl. But not everything has an easy fix.

    Families suffering from food insecurity, increases or total loss to healthcare, homes, rents no longer a safe option. Bertha gets it. Congress doesn’t care, they want to take vacations, not undo the mess their messiah has unleashed. Until it starts to affect them up close and personally, they say nothing. MTG and Mitch are starting to speak up, Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, but the latter is about tariffs. The others gave the nod to the extreme cutbacks.

    Something those of us know, have been through, are still digging out of, understand; nobody is immune. Poverty can happen to anyone, nobody is special, or off limits. Those who assumed they were immune from losing everything, protected, were living in a very fragile bubble. When it pops and you can’t afford to pay for your mortgage, car, food, utilities, rent, the basics, humans, you are screwed.

    In the past if you were poor, but too rich to qualify for assistance, you were falling through the cracks. If you qualified, you would get SNAP benefits. Now that is all but gone, will be gone by November 1. That cushion will be gone. Families are already struggling; children and babies will be at high risk. Cows are looking scared, chickens are going on strike, fish are swimming backwards. Groceries are getting harder to afford, peanut butter is 5.00 per jar, what!!! The videos of preppers telling you to prepare are no longer a joke. If things get any worse folks, we are looking at a full-on depression. When sheep mentioned this in the past, we were called hysterics. Tell us folks, how far off were we really. Bertha saw this one coming a while back, was stocking up on items now untouchable. Don’t like fillet of shoe, or heel, too bad. Getting tired of dining on beans, we know, the side effects.

    Folks, you voted for this. Biden did not cause this. You had jobs, healthcare, food, your kids had meals at schools, food stamps. You didn’t realize how good you had it. Those who were brainwashed are now saying, hmmm, maybe sheep were telling the truth. Those who are seeing their 401k’s going downhill from use, getting hit with higher insurance premiums, losing the things they took for granted, mortgage payments going up with home values going down? Helloo.

    Your tax dollars are funding the destruction, vandalism of the White House. You are not getting increases, benefits, farmers are suffering, tariffs are raising food prices. The fight for coffee is real. Guys, that is just a safety issue, it is proven. If you are seeing people having withdrawal symptoms from not drinking coffee, walking randomly looking for Maga to slap, ICE agents, its real. The choice of coffee or toilet paper is no laughing matter. Take a crap or protecting the public, the police are saying lower the damn coffee prices. If they had beans, well, it’s on. We tried to warn you.

    Do you really want to see the elderly going without DEPENDS? Trust us, it’s not a pretty sight. Those chi chi dames who look chiseled, um ladies, invest in Preparation H. You will be seeing women looking like shar-pei’s. Kids, if they put that ahead of you, hide the Vaseline, Preparation H, duct tape, super glue. Let the dog do the shopping, no junk food, all produce, fruit, melons. Wait, Puppy, is this your shopping list? There is no room for produce romps.

    All joking aside, people are showing up living in tents, rv’s, stores are featuring sales on tents and camping equipment. Those are normally just for summer, now it’s becoming the norm. Sheep see this as a bad sign, meaning those who once owned or tried to own a home, pay rent, are resorting to affordable alternatives without the sticker shock. If they can afford the tents, and vendors are not out to gouge the public, the next question is where do they go? Laws are making it nearly impossible to live in one’s cars or vans, much less tents. Throw in the food crisis, and increase in medical insurance, if you qualify, you have the perfect storm for a major, modern, depression.

    Guys, you need to do more than invoke article 25, you need to clean house, sweep the carpet, checking for roaches, bed bugs, just totally get rid of any and all Maga congress and senate who refuse to say NO to Trump. It is malfeasance to aid and abet a known criminal. The damage here and abroad is growing more dangerous. You are running out of chances to undo it. No offense to Greenbaum, but this isn’t a good time to be singing ‘Spirit in the Sky”. No offense to my friends in the Christian community, but prayer isn’t going to fix this. Pray after its fixed, what we need now are lawmakers willing to stand up for the American people, all of you. Don’t let Trump use race, or choice, or genetics, or immigration status dictate how we treat people and families. It’s one bus. If it crashes, we all crash.

    Humans, cutbacks are real, they are not in your head. You are not imagining having to go without, fool the kids with ersatz baloney. Mom, where is the cat? Have you seen Fido? We know, we went there and PETA, don’t worry, we are not advocating families endanger the family pets. Well, maybe if they are Trump supporters. Sarcasm Peta, breathe. We know we are going to hell for that one. Hey, if we are going to go, at least we are going out speaking the truth. But seriously, lower coffee prices, do you want innocent people to be mistaken for undocumented Maga? Nobody will be safe. You will see people rounding up anyone whom they think could be Maga and have a slap fest. Coffee can cure this. Then again do we really want to? Sheep can see it now, people going to court for assault. Their defense, my wife bought decaf, I needed the caffeine. Trump can’t use this one, that is ours. copyrighted on this day of October 29, 2025 C. But hey, let him try, it’s worth the laugh.

    Cutbacks are real, suffering is nothing to joke about, going homeless or hungry, in danger of losing your health insurance or watching your social security bottoming out due to high premiums is no laughing matter. Kids and babies going without food, diapers, lunches or breakfast, dinner, a crime. Don’t defend a man who thinks having a gold latrine, ballroom is more important than human life. No comparison.

  • Bertha is Pissed Off..

    Much like the rest of the world, Bertha is pissed off. She is tired of people refusing to let con man Trump run loose. She is tired of his trying to behave like a spoiled frat boy. Yeah we know, he isn’t who we think he is, is working with the feds, to get the bigger fish. To catch a carp, you have to think like a trout. If it was truly just one maniac running the country, he would already be Diddy’s bedmate. No camp cupcake, hardcore, no frills, no choice of position assumed.

    Bertha is tired of having to watch humans suffering at the grocery stores, losing jobs, getting harassed for having a mustache. You assume we are talking about immigrants, oh no sweetie, we are talking the coiffed, high-end dames that shop on rodeo drive. If you are seeing them sporting a handlebar, things are getting bad. Things people depend on to keep them sane, their toucas uptight without implants, standing at attention. We are talking caffeine dammit. That wonder drug that people imbibe is good for more than controlling the urge to slap a hoe and maggot. 30 dollars a can, and people need at least 3 to get thru the month, times 12? Do the math, that is a lot of drugs that can multitask. Who knew?

    But it’s those who are telling you what we can buy, or not, how we can use our credit cards or not, get loans with insane interest rates that keep you in poverty. Is it any wonder why she is pissed off? Now we are worrying about how we pay for any of this if there is a shut down. Halloo its hitting home. Did the republicans think it could not affect them, really? MTG knows, finally the woman woke up, now if we can get her to stop backing the shit bum in office. Girl wake up.

    Bertha turns on U tube and is told every other hour the nukes are coming, the sky is falling, someone is going to get slapped. Folks, nobody will announce they are coming. You will be sipping your coffee, and all of a sudden, that coffee will be giving you the mother of all wake up calls. That is how it works. Zelinski knows how it works, the CIA knows, FBI, NSA, and let’s not forget those people called crazy. Did you know your phones are spying on you? Edward Snowden knew, CIA knew, Elon Musk knows. Is it any wonder why we have no privacy?

    Oh sheep, you can’t say that the public isn’t supposed to know. They know now. You are not supposed to know news is manipulated, to get the desired results. It’s not the reporters, it’s the networks, so nobody is getting the news, you are getting manipulated stories designed to play on your fears, feelings and religious beliefs cherry picked for your pleasure. It comes in small, medium, and for those needing something bigger, or well endowed, extra-large. Yes, sheep went there.

    Bertha is pissed off and you humans should be too. Nobody should be tolerating a mad man who manipulates the courts, media and free speech, shuts down the government and refuses to pay those whom we most need. If you are not angry and pissed off, we want to know why? One of your own is mad, one of your party. She is proving nobody is immune. What could you possibly be thinking he is doing that is protecting anyone? Putin? Is that your hand up?

    Oy, people we can and will get thru this together, we might be slapping he same people with a shared cup of coffee, but we will get there. Things might deflate, need Viagra, a harness, Preparation H, but we will get there. Those with a handlebar mustache? Um, ladies, that isn’t in style right now, ya might need to get that one waxed.

    Let the rappers blare, let freedom ring, let’s let people not give a damn about little things. None of this is actually hurting you, nobody needs to die if someone is gay, or trans, if someone speaks multiple languages, isn’t lily white or has a mixed marriage. If a kid wants to read Salinger or Kerouac, so what? Would you rather have them reading how to build an atomic bomb? Don’t worry if they are learning about sex, hell, they might teach you something you need to know. They know more than we do anyway. Last time I checked Tiramisu was dessert, um Bertha whispered it’s a lot more fun. Right. Pick your battles, get angry over things that affect all of us. Things we know that are truly wrong.

    But do not follow false prophets who are running naked in the streets, there are no kings, just those demented creatures from our nightmares.
