The MAGA majority US Supreme Court on Monday allowed convicted felon President Trump’s order commanding Homeland Security to edit the lists of voters eligible to cast ballots via mail to remain in effect while challenges to its constitutionality proceeded. “The court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the government to implement the order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell. But the order itself does not harm the states, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the govern­ment from trying to implement it. And for the reasons dis­cussed, that injunction is likely to irreparably harm the government if it remains in place while the appellate pro­cess runs its course,” the court wrote in the order sticking it to the woke libtards.

“Lots of ‘bluster’ from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario, but who is better known as the less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford. America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The USA will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada. Without the US, Canada couldn’t survive – It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Gov Carney, and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States – Their key to survival. Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the USA Someone should get these clowns to ‘fall in line’ or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE! Canada’s Unemployment Rate is now at 10 percent, and rapidly rising. Their businesses are fleeing for the United States, and it’s all because of their failed policies, and inept leadership! The days of ripping off our Farmers, and other Businesses, are OVER!” posted Mao Smalldong on Monday, fucking up bilateral relations because improving it would take actual work and attention.

It’s good… From a Monday press release by Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Senate campaign: “Today, Ken Paxton unveiled his plan to be a champion for the people of Texas as they grow increasingly concerned about data centers in Texas. This comes after months of Attorney General Paxton listening to the needs and concerns of Texans and national security experts. ‘Texans deserve a fighter to lead and represent them as we address the growing presence of data centers in Texas and stop their negative impact on our neighborhoods. While James Talarico and his campaign infrastructure accept millions of dollars from data center-affiliated donors and put their interests first, I will lead with Texans at the forefront. That’s why I am proud to release my Texas First Data Center Plan that will put Texans first and protect our communities,’ said Attorney General Paxton.”

No, no. The joke isn’t that the corrupt son of a bitch has taken in nearly half a million in contributions from data center operators, nor that he’s announcing this a US Senate candidate rather than his current position from which he could immediately announce an investigation, issue subpoenas, file lawsuits, and so on that would have a much more immediate chilling effect on his donors than any aspirational policy platform if he does manage to defeat Talarico this November. Both of those are “funny” in the way that they’re totally on-brand, standard operating procedure for the 21st century’s most corrupt and fundamentally debased American politician not named Donald Trump.

For a guy who was supposed to have already dismantled ActBlue with his Oversight investigations, James Comer seems awfully sanguine about how they continue to remain intact and operating despite his efforts. In the middle of that the stupid AirPods-wearing hayseed found space to badmouth American voters, complaining about the “angry Democrats who sit around and watch liberal news networks all day and send money,” as though he was speaking somewhere other than Newsmax.

Comer’s Orange Overlord took his rage on voters out much further, posting “The Radical Left Democrats are going CRAZY with Fake Polls. They’re putting them out at levels never seen before. They’re called, ‘Demoralization Operations’ where they try to demoralize Republicans so that they don’t go out and vote – But the actual Polls are tremendous, and the Spirit in our Country has never been higher. We’re winning against EVERYONE, including Iran, whose Country is in Economic and Military Death Spiral,” as if the respondents to said polls are somehow being misled on the matter.

MAGA oligarchs Larry and David Ellison’s quest to acquire Warner Bros-Discovery and subsequently destroy CNN like they did with CBS was hit with a self-inflicted setback Monday after California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office canceled a meeting over leaks to the Wall Street Journal. Leaks specifically about a secret Friday meeting over the proposed terms of a settlement that would allow the two sociopaths to buy up a slimmer Warner Bros portfolio that leaves some assets spun off.

Bonta confirmed the cancellation in a statement to Joe Flint, the same Wall Street Journal reporter who picked up the leaks because why the hell not, the guy already knows the story and all the players. “Not only did Paramount leak the alleged substance of settlement discussions, but they misrepresented these discussions, demonstrating a lack of good faith,” Bonta said. “As soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages sincerely, my office is happy to meet again.”

The text of the above headline, along with a “President DJT,” comprises the entirety of the miserable old man’s Monday morning post to his page on the mid-production value social media network he ordered his minions to build after he was banned from Twitter for inciting a violent insurrection.

No links or further context to support the claim were provided, raising speculation of what specifically prompted the post. Given the hour it’s unlikely to be a reaction to an intelligence briefing informing him that Iran is not collapsing but quite possibly that of a Fox News or maybe even a CNN report informing all viewers – Trump included – that Iran is not collapsing. The all-caps of the statement may further indicate his vehemence at denying the reality that he created for himself by allowing Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu to sell him on launching the campaign against Tehran.

“Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE! On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Auto Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50 percent. Build in the US and there are ZERO TARIFFS. Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with. They feel entitled, yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95 percent of their business with the US, with us, the exact opposite!” the demented old tyrant later posted as though he were victorious over Iran and could move on to the next destructive conflict.

In the most on-brand moment of the Trump Regime’s frivolous cruelties, the Associated Press reports that Border Patrol agents arrested 48 year-old Luis Manuel Aviles as he stepped out of his home in Key West, Florida on Saturday, just days before his son, US Navy sailor Joshua Aviles, returned home from his nine-month-long deployment aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.

“Having a family member in the military is not a free pass to violate our nation’s laws,” DHS said Sunday, adding that the Trump administration “does not pick and choose which laws to enforce.”

Aviles has a valid work permit, per the AP. There’s no reason to arrest or deport him.

A Charleston County, South Carolina house described as “log cabin style” burned to the ground on Saturday night, officials with the St Paul’s Fire District told WCBD. “Crews immediately went to work in a defensive mode, establishing tender shuttle operations to maintain an adequate water supply,” the fire department said in a statement, adding “Once the fire was contained and extensive overhaul operations began, crews transitioned the water supply operation to drafting from an on-site water source, allowing firefighters to continue overhaul operations efficiently.” No injuries were reported.

The other “log cabin,” as in the one you might have expected to read about from the headline, did not burn down. It definitely got smaller though as on Thursday its leader, Ross Hemminger, announced in an op-ed printed by Townhall.com that the Log Cabin Republicans will no longer welcome trans individuals into the group. “The transgender movement has ceased focusing on adults at all – nearly all of their efforts and those of their aligned special interest groups focus on minors,” Hemminger wrote as though hardcore MAGA Evangelicals at the core of the GOP wouldn’t just say the same exact thing about cisgender gay men and lesbian women, that they’re all going to burn in hell together for who they are, regardless of which letter in LGBT they identify as.

“The new era of gender identity politics is not the movement we supported and fought for. Gay men and women are losing public support across the country, and support for gay marriage and other once-widely accepted rights is eroding. Why? Because many voters today weren’t alive or cognizant of the politics of gay marriage winding its way through the courts and gaining ground in public opinion. Their view of the gay community is based on today’s radical transgender activists with their unnecessary, discomfiting focus on America’s youth,” Hemminger continued and holy fucking shit.

He actually wrote that, all the lessons of 1930s Germany be damned. So maybe if this article were solely about the Log Cabin Republicans maybe the headline should have been “Log Cabin filled with oily rags and too many appliances plugged into single outlet, at increased risk of burning to ground.”

Republican Senate campaign chair Tim Scott didn’t have a lot of great ideas for how to handle NBC’s Kristen Welker repeatedly telling him that voters are pissed at the Trump Regime and the GOP Congressional majorities’ patent inability to actually make good on all their campaign promises. Still he kind of tried to blame Joe Biden’s four years while simultaneously claiming that his ruling party was also doing a great job delivering for the American people despite the Biden-caused headwinds.

This spinning around in circles led Welker to state the simple fact that the Biden Administration is over and that Trump has been back in office for nearly two years. Scott then continued rambling a shit ton of canned lines that were scarcely responsive to any of Welker’s questions. All in all a pretty solid stretch for the grinning idiot assuming the goal was to not make any major fuckups while also doing nothing to help sell viewers on maintaining the GOP majorities into next year.

A 58 year-old ICE agent, apparently so used to doing whatever he wants to do those on the other end of power imbalances that such habits have begun to bleed into his personal life, found out the hard way that the St Tammany Parish, Louisiana Sheriff’s Department draws the line differently and on Friday arrested Trump Regime stormtrooper Thomas Bailey for entering his ex-girlfriend’s apartment when she was not home, 4WWL reports with scant further details on the crime.

Bailey faces a single charge of unauthorized entry of an inhabited dwelling. His actions, intent, and timing of when he broke into the apartment were not disclosed to the public.

“Regardless of where you work or what position you hold, the law applies equally to everyone,” said Sheriff Bret Ibert, evidently at least acknowledging Bailey’s occupation. “When someone enters another person’s residence without permission, we are going to investigate the circumstances and take the appropriate action based on the facts of the case,” Ibert continued, leaving a lot of blanks on how many Xboxes and iPads Bailey had acquired from the residences of those suspected of being illegal immigrants. The fact that this bastard even got arrested at all further raises a shit ton of questions about the victim’s position and connections – as in whether she’s Ibert’s sister, cousin, or high school friend – as well as the outright egregiousness of Bailey’s stalkery behavior and whether this break-in was more like the last straw than the worst thing Bailey had done to her.

Rail-thin robber baron Jared Kushner in recent weeks met with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to discuss what the New York Times reports was to discuss “potential areas of common ground” ahead of what Kush evidently anticipates a Democratic win in the midterms and then an onslaught of subpoenas aimed at exposing the manifold corruption of the Trump Regime and family.

The Times writes that the meeting was about legislative stuff, mentioning that Kush and Jeffries have remained in contact since the first Trump Maladministration when Jared and Ivanka helped push a bipartisan criminal justice reform bill, but either way it’s pretty obvious that Kushner does not share Mike Johnson’s optimism about the GOP’s midterm outlook and wants to keep a line open for when Jared and his buddies are hit with a wave of subpoenas about their comical corruption.

Opposition to the construction and operation of new data centers in the United States is a Chinese communist social media psyop, according to those whose wealth depends on growth fueled by the construction and operation of new data centers and thus viewed skeptically by a Business Insider report on the matter. Not lost on the outlet is the irony of oligarchs like Kevin O’Leary complaining about the alleged foreign malefaction while failing to direct their complaints at the social media networks helmed by wealthier oligarchs like Elon Musk and Larry Ellison, whose business models are explicitly opposed to throttling foreign malefaction and unfettered propaganda campaigns.

Two things can be true at the same time: One is that Americans don’t want AI data centers in their neighborhoods, spiking utility bills by sucking up electricity and polluting water supplies by cycling it in and out as a sink for the immense heat generated by the processing equipment. The other is that any friction for the American tech industry redounds to China’s benefit as they seek to win the arms race and establish an indefinite state of global dominance in artificial intelligence, so spending a few man-hours here and there stoking the real opposition to the centers could end up paying dividends.

Plus it’s not like their own citizens are allowed to complain, so why not exploit that built-in advantage they have over the US, especially when, as noted, data centers’ unpopularity isn’t Pizzagate. It’s not some basement incel fairy tale picked up from 4chan and spread by bots coded by soulless human automatons working out of a windowless office in Beijing or St Petersburg or Pyongyang or Tehran.

Convicted felon President Trump actually stopped his speech when a heckler interrupted him during his campaign stop for Darlene Graham in South Carolina on Friday night, a noteworthy enough occurrence given the whole aforementioned cult and South Carolina aspects of his rambling bullshit.

Republican National Committee chairman Joe Gruters on Friday made an interesting choice on who’s to blame when confronted with convicted felon President Trump’s approval ratings in Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden, thereby kind of giving away the game. See, it would be one thing to blame Biden for the economic conditions that Americans don’t approve of. In fact Republicans have been doing that for about five years now and that’s the mode Gruters was in when he reflexively trotted out that old chestnut. Problem was that he accidentally laid bare the reality that exists irrespective of the fact that Trump campaigned on being the one who would fix all the economic problems and was completely lying about it, especially to the jackass low-info voters who bought that shit: The poll could literally be asking “Do you approve of the job President Trump is doing with fixing all the inflation that Joe Biden caused?” and the percentages would be more or less the same.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday greenlit convicted felon President Trump’s stupid ballroom construction, writing “UPON CONSIDERATION of the application of counsel for the applicants, the response, and the reply filed thereto, IT IS ORDERED that the preliminary injunction entered on April 16, 2026, by the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case No. 1:25-cv-4316, is hereby stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court.”

The upshot being that the piece of shit will be built before they finally rule on this.

Having long-since moved on to other scams in the crypto, prediction betting, and wireless industries, Donald Trump Jr may or may not even be aware that PublicSquare – the revolutionary “anti-woke” marketplace he helped launch in 2023 and pitched as competitor to Amazon – has seen its stock price crash by 99 percent, lost $160 million, and per the Wall Street Journal is “struggling.”

Per the Journal, PublicSquare execs themselves admit that such a proposition of being the one-stop shop for products with patriotic branding and fulfilled by companies led by racists and far right freaks only really had a chance as long as the Orange God Emperor himself was in a mutually-hostile relationship with the real tech companies. Look no further than Amazon’s incineration of $75 million for the Melania “documentary” as a milestone on PublicSquare’s road to ruin. But that nod at the dependence on their Lord and Savior’s whims still reads as an excuse given the paucity of MAGA “alternatives” to mainstream consumer brands that were launched over the last decade under the explicit imprimatur of that appeal and then became legitimately successful in their own right.

There’s Jeremy’s Razors, launched in 2022 by DailyWire cofounder Jeremy Boering as competitor to Harry’s and EveryLife, an anti-abortion diaper brand founded as a subsidiary marque of PublicSquare and is about to be sold off. That’s the list of post-2016 launches of unquestionably successful MAGA-linked consumer brands. Patriot Mobile and Black Rifle Coffee Company, founded in 2012 and 2014, respectively, later saw major growth during the Trump era by tying themselves to the whole right wing media grifter ecosystem. MyPillow, founded in 2009, saw its fortunes go the other way for precisely the same reason. A number of smaller niche post-2016 brands like Ultra Right Beer and American Beauty cosmetics plod along with their actual viability unclear. The same can’t be said of overhyped and either nearly-dead or already-failed concerns like the FreedomPhone, GETTR, Parler, GloriFi, Bentkey/the Daily Wire’s other entertainment content, and – of course – PublicSquare.

“Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, and the Biden part needs a fact check.
