There's a certain poetry to the fact that the most consequential intelligence failures of the current administration have all unfolded against a backdrop of chandelier lighting and shrimp cocktail. We noticed. We wrote a song about it.
🎵 NEW: "Ballroom Grift" — Watch the Short
Ballroom Grift is our latest parody broadside aimed squarely at the spectacle of power cosplay happening nightly at Mar-a-Lago. You know the scene: classified material getting casually aired over the dinner buffet, "members" with their phones out like they're at a Springsteen concert, and a Secretary of Defense who treats operational security like a suggestion box he never checks. It's not governance. It's a dinner theatre production of Apocalypse Now where nobody read the script and the catering is included in the cover charge.
The short is on YouTube. Watch it. Share it. Play it for your uncle who still thinks this is all fine.

Why a Song About a Ballroom?
Because somewhere along the way, the American public was sold the idea that competence and spectacle are the same thing. Mar-a-Lago is the logical endpoint of that argument: a private club with a $250,000 initiation fee that somehow became the de facto National Security Council, staffed by people whose vetting process appears to have consisted of paying the entry fee and looking good on camera.
This isn't a partisan observation. It's an operational one. In the military you learn early that information discipline isn't a courtesy, it's a survival requirement. Loose lips don't sink ships in the movies. They do it in the real world, in real time, with real consequences for people who never got a table at the club and never will. The ballroom doesn't care about them. The song does.
Satire has always been the weapon of last resort for people who can't afford a lobbyist. We'll keep making noise until the people running this circus develop the capacity for shame or the good sense to leave. Whichever comes first.

Parody. Satire. Protected speech. The Constitution still covers this, at least as of publication time. Check back tomorrow.
