A national threat

by Dean Okamura, born June 17, 1953, Los Angeles, California, United States of America 


I feel less American 

than 

when 

I was born. 


I thought I was 

one 

of 

"Our Gang", 


another kid like 

"Leave 

it 

to Beaver". 


I still hear stories where 

people who look like me are told 

to go back to where 

we came from. 


I came from Los Angeles, but 

they tell me to go back to where 

I "really" came from: "China!


Then someone says, that 

I am Japanese, he says, 

"Japs have more slanty eyes." 


The ICE agent says a lot of 

Mexican Indians look like me. 

Next time, I need to carry 


my American passport, too. 


 



Donald Trump, recipient of the Krampus Prize

PALM BEACH / MOSCOW (RT) — Two hot hours old 

 

Trump claims the Nobel Peace Prize was stolen, 

but he didn't say which year. 

Now he wants the 2025 winner to refuse the award. 


Amazon Prime delivered the Big Beautiful Medal 

to the White House at 5 a.m., 

offering profuse apologies 

that same-day delivery wasn't possible. 

 

| … In a related story, Amazon is gearing up for two-hour

|     deliveries of the Epstein Files. 


The White House Announced that RFK Jr. designed the award 

with the enthusiastic approval of Marco Rubio 

and Stephen Miller. They said Albert Nobel's face 

was unworthy of the greatest Nobel Peace Prize non-winner 

in all of history. 


In reality, the shadow Krampus Prize committee 

made the award to Emperor Grump, 

who embodied the full girth and spirit 

of the Krampus himself. 


| … In our next report, we cover how McDonald's, Del Taco, and 

|     Jack in the Box are switching their Halloween menus from 

|     spooks to Krampus — and Cracker Barrel will replace 

|     the old man with Krampus.
