The Senile old Fart Machine convened his "Board of Peace" for their first meeting last week.
Widdle guy just couldn't stay awake.
Trump is fighting wokeness with everything he has while sitting and listening to other speakers during the "Board of Peace" meeting pic.twitter.com/YjG9IDl08g
It's a stooopid board anyway. Just another grift. He is asking nations to join at $1 billion a pop. Where is that money going? Directly into the pockets of the "Chairman for Life" grifter King Wannabe.
Many nations were invited to join, but most sane nations – as well as the Pope – have said hell no! Those willing to join include a mishmash of countries led by dictators or criminals, as well as some that purely want to curry favor of the Fragile Ego Baby. They include: Albania, Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Egypt, El Salvador, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.
The idea, as far as I understand, is to replace the United Nations and line the pockets of the idiot who seized the U.S. Institute of Peace building last year, fired all the employees, and put his goddam name on it.
A Big Win
SCOTUS handed a biggie to the "Loser" column last week when it struck down all of TACO's tariffs. It's a win for every American.
He got bigly mad, and after his sweaty, unhinged public response, he turned over the game board and shrieked, "I'll show you! 10% – no, 15% – tariffs on all of you!"
Though the stock markets held steady after SCOTUS's ruling, on Monday, markets tanked in response. No doubt he'll buy up some cheap stocks, and like the TACO he is, walk back his threats to tariff the globe.
In the meantime, there are lawsuits ramping up to try to sue for a refund of the tariffs paid so far. I wonder how that will turn out.
CBS = Corrupt Bootlicking Scum
CBS has continued its path down Boot Lick Lane, leaning into censorship again.
It wasn't enough to fire Stephen Colbert outright, ending his 10-year run on CBS late night. Last week they warped the equal-time rule, which provides equal time for candidates appearing on the public airwaves. The rule has generally exempted late night and daytime talk-shows and entertainment shows.
CBS, under corrupt leader Bari Weiss and undoubtedly in conspiracy with FCC chair Brenden Carr, told Colbert that he could not have James Talarico, running for U.S. Senate in Texas, appear on the show nor could Colbert talk about their decision to disallow Talarico from appearing on the show.
So, Colbert did what he does. He talked about it on the show. And then he released the interview straight to YouTube, which is out of the censors' reach. The interview has been viewed 8.5 million times so far. Talarico gained a lot of buzz and raised $2.5 million in the 24 hours after the incident. Well done, CBS!
Here's Colbert's interview with Talarico:
Here's Talarico's opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett talking to Jen Psaki about it. (P.S. Can Texas please elect both Talarico and Crockett to the U.S. Senate? Pretty please?)
Olympics Talk
Trumplethinskin and his cronies could not keep their stink off the most unifying of world events, the Olympics. It's so sad and maddening that athletes who have devoted their lives to their sport had to endure the petty froth-mouthed children that roam around bored in the White House.
First there was Hunter Hess, who Itty Bitty Amin targeted on social media after Hess expressed his ambivalence about representing the U.S.A. given the fuckin' shitshow we are subjecting the world to. Those are my words. Hess was much more diplomatic. He said:
"It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't.
I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my, like, friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I’m representing it."
Corporal Bone Spurs, who has never lifted anything heavier than a Big Mac, fumble-thumbed his way through an insulting post, calling Hess a "loser," never once thinking about the human being on the end of his tirade.
It affected Hess. He was subjected to hate and threats. He said it was "the hardest two weeks of his life." Goddammit. I hate this for him.
In the end, Hess handled it like the champ that he is. After his Olympic qualifying run on halfpipe, Hess flashed the "loser" sign. He went on to run some amazing halfpipe tricks in the final. Who knows if Dingus Con was watching or if his view was occluded by ketchup.
Olympic skier Eileen Gu was also subject to the regime's ugliness. Gu was born in San Francisco and has a Chinese mother. She has chosen to compete for China since 2018. The Couch Fucker decided she was fair game and stuck his nose in to give his opinion on that. A vapid opinion that has no weight and no real power, only the power to harm.
Di-Vance questioned her choice to compete for her (literal) motherland and not the U.S.A. He said, "I certainly think that somebody who grew up in the United States of America, who benefited from our education system, from the freedoms and liberties that make this country a great place, I would hope that they want to compete with the United States of America. So, I’m going to root for American athletes. I think part of that is people who identify themselves as Americans. That’s who I’m rooting for in this Olympics."
I certainly think that we should root for all the athletes. They have worked their whole lives to reach this moment, and we should applaud all of them! Precious few on this Earth have been able to call themselves Olympians, Maybelline Man, and you ain't one of them. Keep your thinks to yourself. Jerk.
FBI Director Krazy Eyes Ka$h took a government jet – on our dime, to the tune of $75,000 – to Italy to catch a hockey game. When the U.S. men's hockey team won the gold medal, he partied with them like a fool frat boy in their locker room.
Seriously. This is where we are, folks.
The hockey team were having their moment of glory, one that was well deserved. They are world-class athletes who trained hard. It was the first gold-medal win for men's hockey since the "Miracle on Ice" in 1980. They deserved to relish their victory.
What they did not deserve is to be set up as another propaganda piece by a misogynistic, cruel, senile Ego Baby.
Please know that the U.S. women's hockey team also won the Olympic gold medal. They were in a different locker room, on a different day, also celebrating big and relishing their win. They worked equally as hard for their training, leaving just as much blood, sweat, and tears on the ice as the men's team.
And by the way, they didn't have an opportunity for a "Miracle on Ice" until 18 years after the men. There was no such thing as Olympic women's hockey until 1998.
So while the men were celebrating, the Orange Menace called in to the locker room and spat his ugly venom against women.
Here's the video.
You can hear the genuine pride in Donald Trumps voice when he called the Team USA Hockey Team pic.twitter.com/ch6GbXShwh
It's a little hard to hear in places. Here's what was said:
"I just told my people two minutes ago, I didn't know they’d be calling, I said, we’re giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. I can send a military plane or something, but if you would like to, it’s the coolest night, it’s the biggest speech."
One player: "We’re in."
Other players repeat, with cheers: "We’re in!" "Yes."
Another player: "Can you pick us up in Miami on Tuesday morning?"
Trump: "We will get Kash (Patel) and we will get the military to get you guys."
One player, as cheers erupt: "Boys are going to the State of Union!"
Trump: "The nice thing about being the president is I can tell you you don't have to worry about the weather or landing. …. We don't care if it's snowing, if it's the worst blizzard …."
.....
"We will do it at the White House — what would really be cool, and we will do the White House the next day. We will just have some fun, we have medals for you guys. And we have to — I must tell you we are going to have to bring the women’s team, you do know that?"
Trump and the players laughed.
Trump: "I do believe I probably would be impeached, ok?
More laughter.
But, anyway, if you can work that out I would be honored to have you all. I’ll introduce you to the whole…."
Patel: "I got it boss I got it."
Trump: "Ok? You got it Kash?"
Patel: "I’m on it. I’m fucking on it."
To a man, they laughed at the idiot's "joke" about the women's team. Not one stood up for his sisters.
And now, they are pariahs. They – rightfully so – are being called out for playing along with the Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief. I would like to be able to give them grace, to acknowledge the "heat of the moment" and the elevated emotions that day. I will never give them a pass for "boys will be boys." The men had a chance to step up, push back, say "No!" to misogyny. They had a chance to prove "not all men." And they did not.
And that, as so many women on the internet have said, is why we will always choose the bear.
Their glorious Olympic win, and the women's glorious Olympic win, forever have an orange stain on them.
That is so sad.
From the Epstein Files
Another Olympic note here.
As we look toward the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, there is mounting pressure for 2028 Olympics Chairman Casey Wasserman step down. Wasserman is in the Epstein files. Wasserman was married at the time that he exchanged flirty, sexually-charged emails with Ghislaine Maxwell.
The United Nations Human Rights Council released a statement that due to the wide-reaching heinous crimes that were perpretrated by the Epstein cabal, there is a cause to declare that it consists of crimes against humanity. Here is part of their statement.
According to the experts, these acts could amount to sexual slavery, reproductive violence, enforced disappearance, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, and femicide.
“These crimes were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption, extreme misogyny, and the commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls from different parts of the world,” the experts said.
“The ‘Epstein Files’, which are suggestive of the existence of a global criminal enterprise have shocked the conscience of humanity and raised terrifying implications of the level of impunity for such crimes.”
“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said.
If our justice system is putting their head in the sand, then maybe the larger global community will be able to bring justice.
Please watch these snippets from Lisa Rubin who details the cross-referencing of memos and interviews that show that a survivor's testimony naming The Groper-in-Chief in heinous acts are missing from the records that have been released.
Rubin: "There is at least one witness for whom 3 interviews with the FBI in in 2019 are missing [from the Epstein files]. What's the big deal? We can also confirm she is the same person who in a 2025 FBI presentation is identified as accusing Trump of a sexual assault when she was between 13 and 15"
Lisa Rubin explains how journalists have figured out the DOJ has withheld documents containing accusations of sexual assault against Donald Trump from their Epstein files releases
The Prince Formerly Known as Andrew was arrested. It was the first time in nearly 400 years that a member of the British royal family has been arrested.
It's a tangential charge to the heinous sex crimes that were perpetrated by him and Epstein and the others. He was arrested for suspicion of "misconduct in public office," by allegedly providing Jeffrey Epstein with trade reports while acting as Britain's special envoy for international trade.
He'll be investigated thoroughly. There's no question "misconduct in public office" is not the only crime that will be uncovered in their investigation. Virginia Giuffre said so.
Here he is after his arrest. He fucked around, and he is finding out.
Guess what, asswipe? You don't have a say. You trafficked children into the hands of powerful men. We the People demand to know the truth, and you in your room at Club Fed don't get to hide it.
She's angling for clemency from her co-conspirator Drumpf, saying she'll only talk to Congress if she gets it.
Take a long walk off a short bridge, scum.
From the WTF? Files
Workout video with Kid Rock and RFK Jr. WTF? Get your eye bleach out. WTF? The jeans? The milk? I am not sure what this elderly homoerotic piece is getting at, but here ya go.
The fact that an AI "John Barron" aka djt "called in" to CSPAN after the SCOTUS tariff decision to complain and we all shrugged and said, "that tracks." WTF?
A medical hospital ship to Greenland? WTF? So it seems that the backstory is that the Danish military had to perform an emergency medical evacuation of a U.S. submariner in the waters off Greenland.
Somehow the senile old potato inflated this to Greenland cannot adequately provide medical treatment to its citizens so we must send a medical ship there asap!
Ok first of all, WTF is this AI generated painting of the USNS Mercy hospital ship riding off into the sunset?
Secondly, WTF? The two medical ships that the U.S. employs – the Mercy and the Comfort – were both in dock in Mobile, Alabama undergoing maintenance.Nobody in the U.S. knew what was going on. And no one in Denmark and Greenland knew what was going on. There was no medical care crisis in Greenland. Greenland has excellent socialized medicine and has zero need for any assistance/interference/play-acting by the United States of America. They said, Stay the fuck away.
Actually Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was much more polite about it, declining the help and saying that she is "happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to health for all. Where it's not insurances and wealth that determine whether you get proper treatment."
Preach, sister!
The weird way he described the Prince Andrew arrest. WTF? He said (and these are his actual words to reporters on Hair Farce One), "Well, you know, I'm the expert in a way because I've been totally exonerated. It's very nice. So I can actually speak at it about it very nicely. I think it's very sad, I think it's so bad for the Royal family. It's very, very sad. To me, it's a very sad thing. When I see that, it's a very sad thing."
A very nice, very sad thing. Can you say, "Time to refill your Aricept, grampa."
Morons: Discontinuing TSA PreCheck for 24 hours. WTF? ICE Barbie, in her infinite wisdom, thought it would be dandy for the TSA to suspend PreCheck while the partial government shutdown, affecting DHS functions, is happening.
Of course, chaos and confusion reigned. Seriously? Un-smoothing out the smoothest part of flying will help the situation? Do you really think this is going to own the Libs?
I hate this section of LSR. ICE continues their cruel march over everyone's rights. Everyone's. Undocumented immigrants' rights, permanent legal residents' rights, citizens' rights.
Here we go.
United States citizen Ruben Ray Martinez was murdered by federal agents in Texas, months before the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. One key difference: there were no cameras around at the 1:30 a.m. shooting, so DHS hid it away until now.
On March 15, 2025, the 23-year-old Texan was on vacation at Padre Island when he was stopped in a traffic stop. ICE and local police were re-routing traffic at a previous accident and their official report states that (from AP News):
"Though Martinez’s death on March 15, 2025, was reported by local media outlets at the time, federal and state authorities did not disclose that the shooting involved the team from HSI. In a statement Friday, DHS said the driver who was killed “intentionally ran over a Homeland Security Investigation special agent,” resulting in another agent firing “defensive shots to protect himself, his fellow agents, and the general public.”
Hmmmm.... story sounds familiar, doesn't it?
To add another layer of tragedy: a key witness to the murder, the passenger in Martinez's car, was killed in an automobile accident a couple days ago. He had given a statement refuting the official account.
This story was hard to grapple with. Alberto Castañeda Mondragón was transported by ICE to a hospital in the Twin Cities with massive head injuries. They told hospital staff he had "purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall."
Nurses and doctors at the hospital determined that there was no way that he could have sustained the injuries that he had by that method.
The FBI and local authorities are investigating. Meanwhile, Mondragón is left with lasting neurological damage.
There are plans upon plans for ICE to buy up warehouses to make into detention centers. Newsflash: warehouses are for wares, not people. Some communities are pushing back, like Social Circle, Georgia. Both red and blue voters there are saying no to the use of the massive warehouse as a detention center (the red voters' reason is chiefly NIMBY, but hey we'll take resistance for any reason!). Some owners of warehouses are not selling to ICE.
ICE knows they are in the wrong, and that there will be opposition, so they are hiding their activities. Headline, LA Times February 22, 2026: Facing opposition, ICE sites are kept secret.
The Repugs continue to do everything they can to keep people from voting. They want to push requiring Voter ID to vote. There's a lot wrong with this scenario, with the risks of disinfranchisement of underprivileged people outweighing the benefits of preventing the minuscule number of fraudulent votes.
From Factually: "Independent research and official databases show voter fraud in the United States is vanishingly rare: studies and compiled case lists count at most a few thousand proven incidents across decades and billions of ballots, with documented cases typically too few to change election outcomes."
From NPR: "After the 2016 election, the Brennan Center for Justice, which advocates for voting rights, surveyed local election officials in 42 jurisdictions with high immigrant populations and found just 30 cases of suspected noncitizens voting out of 23.5 million votes cast, or 0.0001%."
On the surface, voter id sounds like an ok idea. But when you realize that poor people (mostly brown people) do not always have an id, let alone know how to obtain a birth certificate to get one, let alone the time and distance and cost to get one, you realize that that's the point. The reasons for pushing voter id laws is to prevent those voters (read Blue voters) from voting. It's rotten.
A man was shot and killed at Mar-a-Lardo when he breached the perimeter with a gun and a gas canister and allegedly leveled his weapon at law enforcement when they confronted him. Neither Dear Leader nor his wife were home at the time.
He was at a governors' dinner in Washington, where only Repug governors attended. It was the dinner associated with the annual National Governors Association meeting. The meeting had been cancelled, however, because SCROTUS invited only GOP governors. The association held firm that if only some governors are invited, then no governor will attend.
Yup, another unifying event torn asunder by this clown.
Thank you, Governors Association, for standing up and resisting!
What is this fresh Hell:
Thank you, corrupt SCOTUS, for emboldening this idiot to think like an Emperor.
Judge Aileen "Loose" Cannon permanently blocked release of Jack Smith's case files from the classified documents case. I paid for that investigation! So did you! We deserve to have the results.
She is a pimple on the ass of the judiciary.
We recently passed the anniversary of the plane crash that killed 28 Mexican men and a few Americans in the Central Valley of California in 1948. On the anniversary of their death, ICE sullied their story as only ICE can do.
It's a tragic story. The Mexican men were in California to work. In a deportation much like those we have now, they were being forced to return to Mexico and were on the plane to take them there when it crashed.
The press reported on the plane crash and named the crew and the migra man who was accompanied them. The 28 Mexican men? They were simply noted as "deportees" and were buried in a mass grave near Fresno.
Not only were the bodies not returned home, their families were not notified of their deaths. They did not know what happened for decades.
So this year on January 28, ICE's social media account noted only the passing of the immigration agent on board that day, and said, "The plane he was on to deport 28 illegal Mexican aliens caught fire and crashed killing all onboard."
A lot is wrong with that caption. It's ugly language, the men are officially listed as "Mexican nationals," and it's dehumanizing plain and simple.
Woody Guthrie knew the injustice of the situation then, and he is turning over his grave today. Here is the song he wrote about it. You may have heard it; it's been covered by several artists over the years.
New Mexico resistance. You may know that Epstein had a ranch in Northern New Mexico. The State is stepping up and launching an investigation into the crimes that were committed there.
Chicago resistance. The City of Chicago had a snowplow-naming contest. This year's winning name: Abolish ICE.
Finally! An ICE whistleblower. This guy talks about the dismal training for ICE agents.
This kid. I don't condone violence, of course. But his pluck, his conviction, his courage. He stood up, stood firm, and punched a Nazi.
It's another monster post. Both by the size of it, and the subject matter. There are real monsters out there roaming around.
Another 3 million documents from the Epstein Files, about half of the remaining files that the DOJ has been sitting on, have been released. Again, most of them heavily redacted.
It's an explosive tranche, and overwhelming. There are scores of people pouring over the documents, and the details are trickling out. Thank goodness for journalists and others who are going through them.
Many powerful men are being protected. The delay in the release, the selected release, and the redactions are shielding them. Not so much the survivors: there have been errors in redactions and some survivors' names and nude photos! were left unredacted. Some survivors had never spoken out; even their families did not know. Now, the world knows. Shame on the DOJ.
A handful of Members of Congress got to see the unreacted documents. They emerged, to a person, shaken.
Here are some of the reactions.
Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D - N.M.):
Stansbury brought this one to our attention. It's a powerpoint presentation of the investigation to date and the awful stuff uncovered in the investigation. Check out slide 18.
And there are 3 million more pages to be released.
Here is Raskin, speaking about what he saw:
Key quote:
"We need to be investigating the money, we need to be investigating the organizational hierarchy. There's no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. No way. It doesn't work like that. So we need to figure out what other conspiracies were involved, what other co-conspirators were involved. And I really do believe that listening to the survivors is going to be our pathway through this nightmare."
Follow the money. Listen to the survivors.
Rep. Becca Balint (D - Vt.):
Here she is in a hallway interview, calling them "sick fucks."
Rep. Ted Lieu (D - Calif.) did not mince words. He plainly said that there are allegations of djt "raping children."
And here is another reaction from Rep. Balint:
Lastly, the two leaders of the mission to get to the truth, Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna, spoke after they reviewed the documents. They said there are "six men" who are incriminated.
Why the hell not? He says he wants justice for the survivors, but he won't seek it because, "that doesn’t mean we can just create evidence or that we can just kind of come up with a case that isn’t there."
Six-plus million pages of evidence, reviewed only for redaction purposes over the last few months. No interviews with survivors. No questioning any of the alleged perpetrators. No questioning witnesses. No attempts to organize the plethora of evidence.
So much work, why bother?
There's simply no desire to seek justice for survivors or accountability for dozens, if not hundreds, of powerful, rich men.
Meanwhile, heads are rolling in Europe over the mess. Powerful men in other countries also were tied up in the atrocities, and even tangential associations are coming to bear.
The two people that Congress does want to question? Bill and Hillary Clinton, of course.
After resisting the subpoena, the Clintons have agreed to testify. This is the first time a former president has been subpoenaed to testify. They were pushing for public hearings, but the agreement is that it will be videotaped behind closed doors and transcripts will be released.
They will appear on February 26 and 27.
It will set a precedent, and may lead the way to T**** himself testifying.
AG Scam Bondi testy-fied in front of Congress.
Wowsa was she testy!
It was just disgusting. This person is the Attorney General? Nope. Instead of being The People's attorney, she is acting as the personal attorney and attack dog for her boss.
It was abusive, pure and simple. She interrupted, yelled, deflected, blamed, attacked, obfuscated, ridiculed. She even brought a "burn book" with insults custom made for each Member, as well as a list of search terms that at least one Member had used when they went to DOJ to view the unredacted files.
Who else felt it?
How many argumentative fallacies did she employ? All of them.
She testy-fied for six hours in front of Congress with all the evil filth she could muster.
Here is the whole 4-hour session in front of the House Judiciary Committee, and I've got snippets below.
Here she is, performing for an audience of one.
This is utterly deranged behavior from a U.S. attorney general
FBI search of Fulton County elections offices telegraphs a larger push for federalization of the elections
He still holds a grudge over his loss in 2020, so his FBI seized ballots from Fulton County (Atlanta area) in Georgia. You remember he called up Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and asked him to find 11,780 more votes.
Look at these tweets:
Kristi Noem wants to insure that "the right people" elect "the right leaders." Firstly, Puppy Killer, you are DHS. You are wayyyy out of your lane. Secondly, WTAF?
Folks, if you haven't already realized, this is fascism.
Watch her here. If you can stomach it.
Kristi Noem: "When it gets to Election Day, we've been proactive to make sure we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country."
Let's get this straight. The states and only the states have the power to conduct elections as they see fit. There is no nationalizing our elections. Finally! The Left gets to shout "States' Rights!" loudly.
His regular dose of Dictator Doting
This is not normal.
From the "Let's go after our enemies" files
Independent journalist Don Lemon was arrested and indicted. Read the indictment here.
Lemon had previously worked for CNN but now runs his own media company. Maybe this is the reason he was targeted. No deep pockets for the regime to contend with.
Still, the regime will have to contend with the law. Lemon has First Amendment rights, and I am sure he will prevail.
The regime claims that during his presence at the recent protest at a Minneapolis church, where the service was interrupted, Lemon interfered with the First Amendment rights of the church-goers and their freedom to express their religion.
Hogwash. He was there as a journalist. I'm sure any jury will see that. And thanks to T****'s Streisand-effecting the shit out of it, Lemon is more popular than ever.
T**** sued Harvard for $1 billion in "damages" that occurred when Harvard allegedly continued to use affirmative action policies in their admissions.
ICE Atrocities
I outline just a couple tidbits today from the hundreds of stories from coast to coast.
Weal Mehar died. He was a disabled Texas man who depended on his dad, Maher Tarabishi, to provide 24/7 care. Weal was a citizen. His dad was not, but he had a waiver to stay in the U.S. to act as primary caregiver for his son.
ICE came and seized Dad, leaving Weal to fend for himself. His condition rapidly deteriorated and Weal died less than three months after his dad had been kidnapped. Dad was still detained and not able to attend his funeral.
We all saw the heartbreaking photo of little Liam Conejo Ramos in Minneapolis.
Liam was a five-year-old preschooler when he and his dad were detained. The gestapo took Liam to his home's front door, using him as bait to lure other adults out of the house so they could grab them.
Liam and his dad were held for 10 days until a judge finally ordered them released.
Devastating conditions, as witnessed by Rep. Jamie Raskin:
ProPublica obtained letters from children who had been detained. You can read them here.
Li'l play Nazi Greg Bovino is off the job completely
He was sent away from Minnesota back to his hole in Arizona. He is expected to retire.
He has been replaced in the Minnesota "theater" by Tom Homan. Is he better? Nope. He uses war jargon to describe the events in Minnesota. He is a corrupt, bribe-taking fool, and he is as racist and as hateful as the rest of them.
MAGAts took this quote from Ilhan Omar: "In Somalia we kill pedophiles" and validated the hell out of what we believe to be true:
Headline: "Ilhan Omar Calls to Execute President Trump"
Rep. Thomas Massie (R - Ky.) is the only Republican Member of Congress to speak loudly against the regime. He co-sponsored the bill to bring the Epstein files to light, and has been the only one on that side to try to uncover the truth.
This is what he posted yesterday. Where the hell are we? Is this real life in the United States of America?!
Other Shitty Shit That We Have Going On
Murderers in Minneapolis named
Finally, the men who murdered Alex Pretti were finally named. They are Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
Really? Brown people doing these atrocities? I don't get it.
They haven't faced much accountability. As far as I can see, the two have been put on administrative leave, but that's about it. I don't see how this DOJ will move to bring them to justice. Maybe the state of Minnesota will have more luck, but so far there's been nothing.
Thank you, Minnesotans, for braving the cold and turning out day after day with whistles and cell phones, signs and chants, and superhuman resolve to push back against this authoritarian terror campaign.
Though ICE is leaving Minnesota, the rest of the country is not out of their (literal) scope finders.
Wired has reported that there are plans for incursions from coast to coast. They are leasing buildings and organizing infrastructure in dozens of communities. From Wired:
In El Paso, Texas, for example, the agency is moving into a large campus of buildings right off of Interstate 10 near multiple local health providers and other businesses. In Irvine, California, ICE is moving into offices located next to a childcare agency. In New York, ICE is moving into offices on Long Island near a passport center. In a wealthy community near Houston, Texas, ICE appears poised to move into an office building blocks away from a preschool.
BY EARLY NOVEMBER, according to documents viewed by WIRED, 19 projects had been awarded in cities around the US, including Nashville, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Sacramento, California; and Tampa, Florida. Multiple projects were days away from being awarded in Miami, Florida; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and New Orleans, Louisiana, among others, and emergency requests for short-term space had been made in eight cities, including Atlanta, Georgia; Baltimore, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; and Newark, New Jersey.
In documents viewed by WIRED, ICE has repeatedly outlined its expansion to cities around the US. The September memorandum citing “unusual and compelling urgency” for office expansion states that OPLA will be “expanding its legal operations” into Birmingham, Alabama; Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, and Tampa, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; Boise, Idaho; Louisville, Kentucky; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Grand Rapids, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri; Raleigh, North Carolina; Long Island, New York; Columbus, Ohio; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina; Nashville, Tennessee; Richmond, Virginia; Spokane, Washington and Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The One Bloated Ugly Bill, remember, set a $170 billion budget for ICE. According to the Brennan Center, "that is more than the yearly budget for all local and state law enforcement agencies combined across the entire United States." The Cato Institute tells us that the immigration inforcement budget surpasses the budgets of ATF, DHS, DOJ, DEA, Secret Service, and FBI put together. Unless Congress can act to claw some of that money back, ICE isn't going anywhere.
Still.... We the People are strong. And many.
I flew across the country recently, and as I looked down, I was reminded: there are more of us than there are of them. Be ready to hit the streets, my friend. We must stand up and push back.
The Racist-in-Chief hit a new low
It was sickening, and not at all surprising for this disinhibited, racist idiot. He posted a video that depicted Michele and Barack Obama as apes. There was immediate outrage from everyone. It was finally taken town after about 12 hours.
There was no apology. In fact, when he was asked about an apology, he said, "I didn't make a mistake."
He blamed an unnamed staffer who posted it. Sure. At 11:44pm, some sundowning rando posted an offensive, racist video to Dear Leader's "Truth" Social account.
Renovations cover up corruption
After a trove of artists cancelled their appearances at the Kennedy Center in protest of the renaming scheme, T**** announced the sudden urgent need for extensive renovations to the Center. Nevermind that it underwent renovations just a few years ago, in 2019.
Applications for bribes are now being taken.
In related news, some golfers are suing over threats that T**** will take over a 100-year-old public D.C.-area golf course.
A Team GB winter Olympian pee'd a message
Freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy, who is competing for Great Britain but who previously competed for Team USA, pee'd a message in the snow at the Olympic Village: "Fuck ICE."
Firstly, that's some impressive pee writing! Well done, sir!
Secondly, I love his message. He didn't stop with Fuck ICE. He encouraged civic engagement and pointed people to the way to contact their Senators.
Another Olympian, skier Hunter Hess, spoke his truth about being conflicted over representing the USA. He expressed that he had "mixed emotions." Tell me if these aren't the gentlest, most benign words about it. I don't think I could have been so diplomatic. He said:
"It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now, I think. It's a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't.
I think for me, it’s more I’m representing my, like, friends and family back home, the people that represented it before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S. I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I’m representing it."
Someone was so triggered that he had to push a nonTweet about it:
What a child.
Of course, both of these athletes – and others who have spoken out – put their own safety at risk when they spoke out. T****'s minions have no qualms about threatening them with violence.
The Moron Regime
Ok, who caught this few-hour crisis in El Paso?
The FAA issued a sudden closure of the airspace over El Paso, crying that there would be a 10-day ban on all air activity! Including medical airlifts and commercial flights! Nooooow!
WTF? Are we invading Mexico? Is Mexico invading us? What's going on? No one knew, including the FAA, airport personnel, and Rep. Veronica Escobar who represents the area.
Nevermind! Was the call a few minutes later. Nothing to see here! Ignore the morons behind the curtain!
The initial coverup lie was set by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who said on nonTwitter that the FAA and the Defense Department "acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion. The threat has been neutralized and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region."
Never mind that these types of drones are fairly commonplace since at least 2010 and have never caused a major issue in the past.
The truth of the matter is that a rum-soaked TV star who happens to be at the helm of the most powerful war machine on the planet had hatched plans to test a new drone-busting laser system.
So, he and Border Patrol went ahead and did it. Without the FAA's knowledge. Over El Paso's busy airspace.
But the kicker? It wasn't drones they targeted at all. They caused an emergency shutdown of El Paso's airspace to shoot down wayward balloons from someone's birthday party.
Hell, who hasn't confused a drug cartel drone with a party balloon, amirite?
No longer part of government, but still a racist moron trying to play a role. Elmo posted this. So, so wrong.
I could go on and on about how moronic this post is, but my readers are smart and know.
Second Amendment Talk
I wrote about the Second Amendment in a recent post concerning the murder of Alex Pretti. Shortly after I published, I became aware of a couple more contortions of T****'s supposed love of the Second Amendment.
He has invoked the Second Amendment when it suits his needs to harm his opponents. Remember this? His "Second Amendment people" solution to ridding the world of Hillary Clinton's Supreme Court picks. Or maybe ridding the world of Hillary Clinton.
After Pretti's murder, when it became apparent that Pretti had been lawfully carrying a firearm, he said, "You can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns." Watch it here.
His wine-soaked U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia said in a FAUX News interview, "You bring a gun into the district, you mark my words, you're going to jail. I don't care if you have a license in another district, and I don't care if you're a law-abiding gun owner somewhere else. You bring a gun into this district, count on going to jail and hope you get the gun back."
Holy gun rights, Batman!
The Dementia Diary
He had another speech glitch that everyone is talking about.
He tripped over his sounds when he tried to say the word undisputed.
(Just a technical note. Creators are calling this a "phonemic paraphasia," but to my ear, it isn't. It is his dysarthria combined with some apraxic (motor-programming) errors)
Speaking of "beautiful clean coal," the Easily Manipulated Baby Man was given another participation trophy, this time for "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal," gifted to him by industry leaders.
Sooooo impressive.
He hasn't been playing as much golf lately.
People noticed that he took about three weeks off from the links. For a man who spent 261 days and $151.5 million on golf in his first term and 97 rounds and $135.8 million in the first year of this go-round, going three weeks without a game is notable.
People have also noticed that his daily schedule has been awfully light lately.
LSR can vouch for that look.
The WashingtonPost continues its slide into oblivion
Jeff Bezos caused a "bloodbath" by firing 300 Post staffers, about a third of the total staff, and by eliminating several features, including Books and Sports. One of the richest men on earth, he could infuse a fraction of his wealth to keep the paper relevant, but he prefers slash and burn. It's so sad.
Melania moviepropaganda piece
Lordt. Jeff Bezos paid $75 million in bribes to fund and distribute this vapid documentary.
It was universally panned and was the laughingstock of the country when it showed to mostly empty theaters.
I'll let the memes speak.
Just a couple more notes about the Super Bowl Halftime Show
The Production value! Oh my! It really was amazing how they packed so much into such a short time, all the while complying with the restrictions on how they used the field. Using human beings as grass was brilliant. The cinematography was brilliant. It felt like a little movie. The story line was brilliant: I loved the wedding. It all went off without a hitch, and the producers should feel very proud.
Green Day rocked the pre-game show that included, fittingly, "American Idiot."
The alternative show produced by Turning Point USA was (reportedly; I wouldn't be caught dead watching, even in the name of research) dreadful, with Kid Rock strutting around, poorly lip synching in his jorts.
Minneapolitans kept showing up, even in sub-zero temperatures, to protest ICE's presence in their city. Let us all take inspiration from them when it comes time to protect our own city.
St. Paul, MN
There were no indictments handed down in the government's case against the lawmakers that appeared in the Don't Follow Illegal Orders video. In fact, this is one on top of a pyramid of indictments grand juries have declined to sign. The Hill looks at all of these and talks about the rarity of "no bills" from grand juries. It's a good sign that serious citizens are not buying what the regime is selling.
The Satanic Temple had a win in Boston. Their bid to fly their flag at City Hall was unlawfully rejected, according to U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley. The Satanic Temple is great at fighting fire with fire and asserting equal representation of their religion where religion should have no place, like at freaking City Hall.
Protests pop up all over, like this one in Santa Barbara, California.
There was a big Blue win in Texas this month. It was a huge flip for a state Senate seat. Democrat Taylor Rehmet handily won the seat that had been Red almost 50 years and who voted for T**** in the last election by a margin of 17 points. This was on top of Democrat Christian Menefee's win for a Texas Congressional seat. The dam holding up the blue wave is starting to crack. Redistrict all you want, Texas. The People will rebel anyway.
The midterms are less than nine months away, friends. Hang in there. We can do this thing.
Something fun. I was looking on our local Indivisible group's website, and saw my protest sign (bottom right) at the October No Kings rally!
