Hello,
The first three Teddy Roosevelt Maniac Awards have been given! From this point forward, we will simply refer to them as the Maniac Awards, but congrats to those who were our favorites.
The movies have the Oscars for the best of the best within the film industry. The movies also have the Golden Raspberry Awards (aka the Razzies) for exceptionally poor performances. You can be great, like Sandra Bullock, and win an Oscar. She won for the Blind Side in 2010. You can have a horrific screen performamce, like Sandra Bullock, and win a Razzie. The same year she won an Oscar, she was presented with a Razzie for her role in All About Steve.
The initial Maniacs have been given to Liz Cheney, Chris Christie, and Paul Ryan. The Razzies give a gold raspberry as their trophy. Ours will remain the Teddy Roosevelt Trophy. After a little research, we learned there is already a Teddy Roosevelt award given to NCAA athletes, but so far as we know, there is no Teddy Roosevelt Trophy. So this is the beginning of that era.
I heard something long ago about courage. We see warriors in action on the big screen. We see them in battle. We are in awe, and some people say, “Look at that ass kicker! He is so courageous! He fights without fear!” I learned, though, that this is not the essence of courage. People with ultimate courage actually have fear! The thing that makes them courageous is overcoming the fear!
Cowardice is the opposite of courage. People with courage see odds stacked against them, but they fight on anyway. Cowards are the opposite! They have everything lined up for an easy victory, but they allow a tiny hair out of place to keep them from doing what is right! Courageous people run to problems in the face of danger! There was video footage of this after the Boston Bombings. As a crowd stampeded away from the explosions, a handful of others ran against the grain. They knew people were hurt. Their insticts were to help those people in spite of the possibility there might be another explosion!
Maniac Nebula has presented cyber trophies to a few Republican leaders who refused to bow down to Donald Chump. We admire their courage! In life, we have heroes. There are also cowards.
“Do you ever wonder that
To win somebody’s got to lose?
I might as well get over the blues
Just like fishing in the ocean
There’ll always be someone new…”
— The Whispers
This is life, guys! To win, somebody’s got to lose! One man’s Heaven is often another man’s Hell! All is fair in love and war! War is Hell! We have all these clichés and lyrics to guide us through life and give us direction. One of the best examples of cowardice comes from The Princess Bride, a romantic comedy. Westley is the protagonist hero, but he is sapped of most of his energy. Buttercup is at his side when Humperdinck storms into the room armed with a sword. The dialogue goes as follows:
Prince Humperdinck: First things first, to the death!
Westley: No. To the pain!
Prince Humperdinck: I don’t think I’m quite familiar with that phrase.
Westley: I’ll explain and I’ll use small words so that you’ll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon!
Prince Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me.
Westley: It won’t be the last. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my tongue, I suppose! I killed you too quickly the last time. A mistake I don’t mean to duplicate tonight!
Westley: I wasn’t finished. The next thing you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right.
Prince Humperdinck: And then my ears, I understand. Let’s get on with it.
Westley: Wrong! Your ears you keep and I’ll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, “Dear God! What is that thing?” will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means! It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever!
Prince Humperdinck: I think you’re bluffing.
Westley: It’s possible, pig! I might be bluffing! It’s conceivable, you miserable, vomitous mass, that I’m only lying here because I lack the strength to stand! But, then again, perhaps I have the strength after all.
[Westley slowly rises and points his sword directly at Humperdinck]
Westley: Drop… your… sword!
Humperdinck does as he is told. Buttercup ties him to a chair, then Westley collapses. It turned out to be a bluff! It turned out Westley’s physical strength hadn’t returned. He would have easily been killed if Humperdinck had challenged him. Instead, Humperdinck was a coward! He had everything to gain! He could have killed his adversary, taken Buttercup as his bride, then became king after his ailing father passed away.
Maniac Nebula has its own version of the Razzies. We call them the Humperdinck Awards. You can simply call them the Humperdincks, or the Humps. These will be directed at the ones who had paths to victory and righteousness, but buckled under faint pressure. These people are full of folly and inconsistency. The first one to receive a Hump is Ted Cruz.
Let’s back up a bit. Donald Chump is a nut job and he knew all along what his strategy would be. In 2015, he decided to run for president. There would be many battles along the way to win a larger war. If he won a battle, he would claim it was due to his brilliance and/ or greatness. If he lost, he would claim the system was rigged! He threw supposed allies under the bus. He flip flopped on policy. He lied, and he cheated.
Ted Cruz won the Iowa caucus that election cycle. He seemed to be a strong contender, and he stuck up for himself. He chastised Chump, and Ted’s future looked bright. After Cruz won Iowa, Orange Dog Shit took to Twitter and claimed it was a sham! In an interview with Greta Van Susteren, Chump told her the caucus was rigged! So way before Orange Dog Shit lost in a humiliating fashion to Joe Biden in 2020, he knew what his plan would always be: Say it was rigged.
Ted Cruz buckled under light pressure, as others have. When Texas was freezing and citizens were dying in their homes, Ted Cruz bolted to Cancún, Mexico. Ted Cruz had the opportunity to continue to defy Donald Chump, but he faltered. Not long ago, he joined other complicit Republicans in forfeiting their dignity and reputations in order to try to prop up a person they had previously said was awful. Ted Cruz joined Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnel, Lindsey Graham, Doug Burgum, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio. These people once hated Chump! They flipped their positions and then, like battered wives, they returned to the abusive partner.
Ted Cruz receives our first Humperdinck because his fall from grace is the most pronounced. As children, we revere the story of Robinhood, a hero who robs from the rich and gives to the poor. Donald Chump is the Bizarro Robinhood! In 2015, he claimed he didn’t need contributions from donors or lobbyists because he had his own money. Today, he is a pathetic loser begging from the poor! Ted Cruz is one of his shameless enablers!
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
— Thomas Jefferson
Let’s address the elephant in the room. The Founding Fathers believed people could become corrupted. They could become tyrants. Jefferson, Hamilton, Franklin, Madison, Washington, and others were revolutionaries who believed future revolutions should happen if tyrants regained control of the land. Let’s be clear. The events which culminated on January 6, 2021 in Washington, DC were the onset of a physical revolution. They were directed by Donald Trump. In the Trump World, Joe Biden is not merely an American belonging to the Democrat Party. He is a Marxist tyrant meaning to enslave the American populous with the help of his Communist allies. Joe Biden is especially hateful of Trump’s MAGA following.
You have to ask yourself: Is this real? Are we living under tyranny? Was it necessary to storm the Capitol in order to stop what otherwise would’ve been a smooth transition of power? Was it necessary to begin the spilling of blood by patriots and tyrants?
The signs of tyranny are there! This has been around since JFK was assassinated. The Deep State does murky things. Their cronies are unabashed. They have brazenly passed Rex 84, Executive Order 10999, the Patriot Act, the NDAA, and other directives which have terrified the public, and eroded domestic liberties.
Let’s suppose I am robbing a bank. Me and my cronies are running with bags of massive loot! There is a security guard at the door poised to stop us! I pause, pull out my gun, then try to fire. If I shoot the guard, I am home free. The getaway car is in sight. The gun jams, I have no bullets, or I forgot to release the safety button! Pick your blunder! The guard rushes me, and tackles me! The bank robbery is a total failure!
Just because a crime is a failure doesn’t mean a prosecution is not in the works. Donald Trump meant to initiate a bloody revolution! He intended to remain in power. His cronies were willing to kill Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, and others. Were they fighting against tyranny? Did they have a King George III moment? Was bloody revolution their last resort?
Donald Trump has called jailed insurrectionists “hostages” which further substantiates his bloody revolutionary plan. At Maniac Nebula, we are well aware that Americans have lost liberties. It is a travesty that wars of aggression began. Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and Bradley “Chelsea” Manning were villified for exposing the dark secrets of government. There are people sitting in prison who whole-heartedly believed they were fighting against true tyranny. It’s easy to believe these things if you believe the plans of Nine Eleven were drawn up inside the Pentagon. When you believe “We the People” no longer run the show, bloody revolution is indeed an option given by Jefferson, and his contemporaries.
This is Never Trump Blog. America has problems! They are psychotic problems. All three branches of government are no longer trusted. Donald Trump is not Robinhood, though. His actions have shown this. Eliminating Kang to install Kodos is not the solution!
For now, we will look to the past for inspiration! We will praise the leaders with courage, and we will chastise those who fall way short. Ted Cruz receives our first Humperdinck.
Enough said.
Sincerely,
— Demented

Never Trumpers & Everyone Else,
It’s me, Bone Face. I wanted to chime in. Up until now, Demented has been the only person who has written anything at this Never Trump Blog with one exception. I wrote a little bit at the beginning of the June blog. I included a few quotes. I was reading through the different pages and I noticed Demented seems to be somewhat alone. He closed a recent entry as “On Behalf of Maniac Nebula” and I assure you he has our support. Even Grumpy Old Man hasn’t complained about his attitude, his actions, and his plans. I’m a bit surprised, though. Back in early April, Demented asked all moderators to give their two cents on the 2024 election. Everyone did except for Silver Dollar. I’m pretty sure he was on vacation in his Winnebego and he didn’t want to be disturbed. I thought I would see the same thing here as with the regular Maniac Nebula site. I thought we’d hear from Homer Cocktail, Wacky Taffy, Captain Grifter, and the rest of the gang. I’m not disappointed or anything. It’s just a bit odd.
I wanted to mention that I spoke to Homer Cocktail. He has a project of his own:
maniac-pages.com
… will be more about pure conspiracy issues devoid of temporal political motivations or biases. Where has Bigfoot been spotted? Is Bigfoot real? How about Nessie? Homer Cocktail is not alone. A few of us have kicked this idea around for a long time. In the book, Kiribati, Preston Bancroft lets Donovan Cobb into a secret society known as the Contrarians. There is an exclusive, esoteric school known as Epsilon University. Homer Cocktail said we could do something for the public. In Kiribati, Contrarian members (and their kids) travel around the world, and they have hands-on learning. They build their own Eniac computer, and this sort of thing. The Contrarians believe in hueristic training. At Maniac Nebula, we cannot take you around the world, but we can provide you with information. We can give you Conspiracy 101, Conspiracy 201, and we can provide you with an encyclopedia of knowledge. We can give you basic lingo and slang if you’re new. We can provide you with quotes and other sources of inspiration.
Homer Cocktail told me he’s working on a 2nd-person story. It will be at Maniac Pages if he gets it launched. It will reflect our journeys down the Rabbit Hole. Not everyone is in to politics. If you’re in that camp, this 2nd-person story will allow you to steer around the subject. Then again, maybe strange men in suits and sunglasses abduct you on the side of a city street and force you into a discreet van! Maybe your destination is some type of hidden re-education camp! I don’t know exactly what Homer Cocktail has in the works, but it sounded good. Most of us have regular jobs, so it’s not like we have a whole lot of extra time to put into these projects.
Your heart has to be it. When you put your time into these things, you have to have a shred of caring about how it turns out. Demented wanted this Never Trump Blog to happen. He put time into it, and it’s clear he believes we can add to the discussion of the coming election. As conspiracy theorists, we have different perspectives than what you would see on cable news. Our backgrounds are different, and we aren’t beholden to corporate advertising. I can say anything stupid and not worry about some executive yelling at me that we lost Ford, Coke, or McDonald’s as a sponsor.
It’s time to chip in, though. Demented started a page for awards and I feel compelled to contribute material. This will give context to what we talk about, and it will relieve Demented of some of the burden of doing this by himself. I happen to know Wacky Taffy has helped with some of the images. She’s a great gal, and maybe in the near future, we might hear from other Maniac Nebula moderators.
— Bone Face
ps … I will jump in right here. Ted Cruz has been awarded a cyber Humperdinck Trophy. My section will come below. As Demented gives more Humps above, I will chip in below.
vvvvvv

Hey SCOTUS,
This is for the six quid pro quo judges who put the final nails in the coffin of American democracy. Don’t gaslight us, assholes! You don’t deserve to be on the Supreme Court! Your behavior is not acceptable! From your acceptance of lavish gifts, to mingling with tycoons whom you side with in major rulings, to flying inverted American flags, we do not accept you as a functional institution! You are cowards, and you need to be impeached! Maniac Nebula presents you collectively with a Humperdinck Trophy! Your leader is a deficient lying sack-of-crap cheater we know here as Bizarro Robinhood! He steals from the poor with his non-stop groveling for funds, then gives to the rich in the form of tax cuts they don’t even need! Together, you are known as Bizarro Robinhood and the Six Dwarfs! Great job, losers!
