Dear Aunt Patriotica: The Stars, the Stripes, and Some Serious Blackmail

Dear Aunt Patriotica,

A friend of mine (well, more of a powerful acquaintance with nuclear ambitions) has a, um… compromising video of me. I’m not saying it’s bad, but let’s just say it wasn’t my most Constitutionally flattering moment. I’ve tried to give him advice—like make peace, stop poisoning people, and maybe wear a shirt sometimes—but every time I speak up, he just smirks and says, “Do what I say, or the footage goes global.”

I’m under a lot of pressure. Should I stand up for myself or keep letting him call the shots?

Sincerely,
Strong-ish Man in an Awkward Situation

Dear Strong-ish Man,

Oh honey, bless your red, white, and whimpering. You’ve got yourself into a classic Cold War cuddle trap!

Let me put this gently, sugar: when your “friend” has dirt on you, and he’s shirtless, smirking, and possibly riding a bear while threatening you with kompromat… that’s not friendship. That’s hostage diplomacy with extra chest hair.

You say you’ve been giving him advice? Like what? “Hey Vlad, maybe less Novichok, more namaste”? He doesn’t want your wisdom. He wants your obedience—and possibly control over Eastern Europe.

Now I understand you’re in a tight spot. But a real American strongman (or even a semi-flexible democratic leader) doesn’t let blackmail drive foreign policy. You’ve got two options:

⭐ Option 1: Grow a Spine (Preferably Your Own)

Stand tall. Call his bluff. What’s in that video? An unauthorized spray tan? An interpretive dance to “Back in the USSR”? We've seen worse. The American public forgives a lot—just ask Rudy.

Once you’re free from his oily grip, you might even start making decisions based on national interest instead of international embarrassment.

⭐ Option 2: Lean In. Go Full Puppet.

Just embrace it, darling. Start doing press conferences with your “friend” sitting on your lap. Let him whisper into your earpiece. Go full marionette. Heck, rename the Oval Office the Kremlin Guest Suite and ask your staff to start addressing you as “Comrade Light.”

It’ll be humiliating, yes, but at least you’ll get a lovely dacha out of it.

In summary, sweetie: If someone’s holding something over your head, it’s probably not a crown—it’s control. And last I checked, we already have one president. We don’t need a backup located in Moscow.

Now go wash your hands, delete that Telegram chat, and remember: Freedom isn’t free, but dignity is surprisingly affordable if you act fast.

Stars, Stripes, and Snappy Comebacks,
Aunt Patriotica

Climate Change—Now Causing Bullets to Fly

Twitter (or X , if you’re into midlife crises for social media platforms) has finally cracked the case of America’s mass shooting epidemic. Forget guns, forget mental health, forget decades of policy gridlock. The true culprit? Thermometers. According to one very serious thread with 28,000 likes and three graphs made in Microsoft Paint, the number of mass shootings rises with the temperature. “As the Earth gets hotter,” the poster explained, “so does the barrel of an AR-15. And when that barrel heats up, freedom just starts firing itself.” The theory is elegant in its simplicity: Cold weather = mittens. Hard to reload in mittens. Hot weather = sweaty rage. Nothing says “Second Amendment rights” like a 102-degree heat index. Global warming = global shooting. It’s science. Commenters were quick to add supporting evidence: “I wore a hoodie in December and didn’t feel like shooting anyone. Coincidence? I think not.” “Ever notice school shootings dip during winter break? C...

PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUES DECREE: "IF IT MAKES ME LOOK BAD, IT'S DEMOCRATICALLY MANIPULATED BULLSHIT"

Washington, D.C. — In a bold display of leadership reminiscent of only the finest banana republics, President Donald J. Trump today issued a sweeping presidential decree officially outlawing all statistics, reports, charts, tweets, TikToks, frowns, and bad vibes that fail to glorify his presidency. The decree, titled “The Truth and Nothing But the Trump” , follows the abrupt firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Director after last Friday’s jobs report showed a slight uptick in unemployment—a number that "smelled like Soros," according to Trump. “Folks, I looked at that report, and it just screamed ‘deep state’” Trump told reporters from the golf cart he now uses as his official motorcade. “That kind of anti-Trump math has no place in America. We’re deporting it.” When asked if he meant deporting people or just numbers , White House Press Secretary Tucker Carlson (now holding dual roles as Press Secretary and National Archivist) clarified: “Any operative—statisti...

MAGA Ostriches: Trump’s Flock Perfect the Art of Sand-Diving

  In the latest zoological discovery, scientists have confirmed that MAGA supporters and their leader Donald J. Trump share a striking similarity with ostriches: whenever confronted with uncomfortable facts, they immediately bury their heads in the sand. The key difference, experts note, is that ostriches eventually come up for air, while MAGA voters are still waiting for Hillary’s emails to be released by WikiLeaks. At a rally in Florida, Trump proudly declared, “Ostriches are very smart, very strong birds. People don’t know this, but they’re saying ‘Sir, you’re just like an ostrich, you see fake news and you bury, bury, bury.’ And I do it better than anyone. Tremendous bird, really classy.” The Ostrich Strategy When confronted with reports that contradict their worldview—such as unemployment numbers, climate science, or Trump’s golf scores—MAGA ostriches engage in a synchronized head-burying maneuver. Within seconds, they retreat underground, emerging only when Newsmax or OAN con...
