America Is Already Great

A new CNN poll says only 29% of Democrats are proud to be American. Bridget Phetasy asked her audience what they love about this country — and got hundreds of responses. The four things that came up most: Free speech, the founding documents, guns, and the freedom to build your own life.

The people who felt it most weren’t born here. They were immigrants, refugees, and World Cup tourists who showed up expecting the country the media described and found something completely different. This is Dumpster Fire’s love letter to America on its 250th birthday.

A Win For Common Sense

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the U.S. Supreme Court Hecox ruling, upholding states’ rights to ban biological males from competing in women’s sports — and somehow it took nine justices, two lawsuits, and six months to confirm that girls are girls.

Also: Supergirl bombed so hard even the pirates didn’t bother, and Armie Hammer makes a comeback in a role only an aspiring cannibal could pull off. Here’s more in a new edition of Phetasy’s Dumpster Fire.

Pride Fatigue Is Real

Americans are suffering from Pride fatigue.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down:

  • How Pride went from a winning cause to a divisive one.
  • Why MLB players are getting warned by the league for writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats
  • And why California now requires actual proof of being gay — paperwork and all — to win public utility contracts worth millions.

Europeans Can’t Comprehend

The World Cup is in America and Europeans are losing their minds — in the best possible way. A German named Freddy went tubing down the Chattahoochee, discovered Buc-ee’s, watched an eagle fly around a stadium, and declared it the most “European mind can’t comprehend” moment of his life.

A Swedish woman tried ranch dressing and said it was like crack. Bridget Phetasy breaks down why watching foreigners fall in love with Real America is the 250th birthday celebration we actually needed — and why we take all of it completely for granted.

Also: Tom Brady launched a coconut water brand called Good Nut and the slogan is “It’s a Delicious Mouthful.” Here’s Bridget with her latest edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Big Jugs Are Back!

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are building a $1.4 billion luxury eco-resort on a Cold War bunker island in Albania — and locals are responding with Molotov cocktails.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the corruption probe, why Ivanka should not have gone on a podcast to talk about this, and why every billionaire quietly building a bunker on a remote island should maybe read the room.

Also: Hunter Biden went viral on X with an AA joke, boobs are officially back, and Spencer Pratt is still in the LA mayor’s race, but just barely. Here’s more in a new Dumpster Fire.

Late Night Became Insufferable

Stephen Colbert’s Late Show aired its final episode Thursday night, ending a decade-long run that cost CBS roughly $40 million a year and alienated half the country.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down how Trump derangement syndrome turned late night television from a unifying institution into a smug resistance rally — and why no one is actually sad to see it go. Also: The case for Dumpster Fire to fill the slot.

Almonds Are The Real Threat

Commencement speakers got booed this weekend for mentioning AI — by the same graduating class that used ChatGPT to write their papers.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down why the anti-AI panic is just climate anxiety with a new face, why Bernie Sanders and AOC’s plan to ban data centers is the worst idea in recent memory, and why China is absolutely loving every minute of our meltdown. Here’s more in a new episode of The Dumpster Fire from Phetasy.

America, China: Friends Again?

America and China are in the world’s most expensive bad marriage — They need each other, they don’t trust each other, but it’s too expensive to get divorced.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down Trump’s trip to Beijing, the CEO delegation that proves capitalism always wins, the handshake heard round the world and why the Left would rather Trump spit in Xi’s face than narrowly avoid World War III.

Elon Musk took pictures like a tourist and Marco Rubio has a new name and a new look. Here’s more from Bridget on a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Everything Is Fake And Gay

The Southern Poverty Law Center — America’s premier anti-hate nonprofit — has been indicted for secretly funding the KKK.

If you donated to the SPLC thinking you were fighting racism, congratulations: you may have bought the Grand Wizard a new truck.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the most ironic scandal in nonprofit history and why the demand for racism apparently outpaced the supply, so they decided to manufacture some. Here’s more in a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.

Drugs Help With Addiction

President Donald Trump signed an executive order fast-tracking FDA approval of psychedelic drugs — psilocybin, MDMA, ibogaine — and Joe Rogan was standing right behind him when he did it.

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the results of a text message between Rogan and Trump, why libertarians are finally winning, and whether any of this is actually good for anyone.

Plus: Aliens.gov is real, it’s launching soon, and the government has been quietly confirming UFOs exist for years. Here’s Phetasy with a new edition of The Dumpster Fire.
