A Friday New York Times article titled “A Restaurant Hosted Ramaswamy After His Attack Ad. It’s Paying a Price,” has all the usual cliches of the masses versus the besieged, the woke versus the patriots, the cancel culture machine versus Main Street capital. The headline says everything except for the proper nouns: PJ Marley’s in Medina, Ohio owned and operated by local Republican couple Patty and Jon Stahl. They hosted now-defeated Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy on Halloween night and got a lot of shit for it from local residents for platforming the tech bro after he platformed a pedophile’s willing accomplice. The Stahls spent a lot of time deleting Facebook comments calling them “pedophile protectors,” getting angry calls, and so on.

The fact that this was printed 10 days after the election in which Da Vek and his GOP ticket-mates were drowned in a blue wave rather than beforehand isn’t saying anything new. Hell that “Lake America” regional bank exec’s cancelation’s failure to spark a national conflagration was, as intuited at the time by this site, indeed a warning sign of what turned out to be an apocalyptic defeat.

So if the story overall is another drop in the “2026 is the end of MAGA” bucket, there’s one stretch of the Times’s own composition of the Stahls’ ordeal – as clipped in the headline above – that still manages to stick out as a perennial Trump-era ethos from his fans: “They thought the ad was in poor taste. But as small-business Republicans, they believed in Mr Ramaswamy’s pitch that he could lower property taxes without harming schools, and thought he could find a way to bring down their rising electric bills. The couple insisted that holding an event for the Republican ticket was not about taking a side; they would have agreed to host Democrats, too, they said.”

Another day, another insufferable clip of whiny bitch Tom Emmer pouting his way through what’s supposed to be a pretty softball hit on Fox News. He couldn’t even come up with a coherent storyline for why everything’s fine with the nation’s air travel system without retreating to the safe space that homosexual libtard former Transportation Secretary Mayor Pete built.

“The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has been working with states1 that elect to provide coverage to ‘applicable individuals’ as defined in section 1902(xx)(9)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act (the Act) and 42 CFR § 435.5512 to implement the community engagement requirement described in section 1902(xx) of the Act no later than January 1, 2027. We appreciate your leadership and the substantial progress states have made toward implementing Medicaid’s community engagement requirement. Across the country, states are modernizing eligibility systems, developing new data connections, training staff, engaging community partners, and improving the applicant and beneficiary experience. We recognize the dedication behind this work and appreciate your commitment to the Medicaid beneficiaries we serve,” and blah blah blah says a Friday HHS memo that eventually gets to the point of informing states that they can extend a six-month grace period to get all those “Medicaid gamers” off the public dole and putting on a tie to go to work.

Weird because we were told that there was no higher priority than avoiding a national bankruptcy when this bill was passed a year and a half ago – but set to kick in after the midterms.

Last summer the White House ordered customs officials to not block a shipment of illegal Chinese-made vape devices after the loobysit son of 2024 campaign manager Chris LaCivita “consulted” with them, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Woke soyboy Markwayne Mullin on Friday took the time out of a press conference – where he’s supposed to be addressing the nation on why its entire commercial air transportation system was bricked completely with no end in sight – to correct a reporter who asked whether it was AI-related.

Mullin was very firm that the technology is to be called “SI,” for “Super Intelligence.”

For reasons unclear other than vaguely about an equipment failure, the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday ordered an immediate ground halt to all flights nationwide, Axios reports.

“DUE TO EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR REASONS OF SAFETY. ATTENTION ALL AIRCRAFT OPERATORS, BY ORDER OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION COMMAND CENTER ALL AIRPORTS ARE GROUND STOPPED. ALL DEPARTING TRAFFIC SHOULD REMAIN GROUND STOPPED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. INBOUND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS WILL BE MANAGED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS,” said the NOTAM sent out everywhere right during the pre-weekend rush hour.

We were to understand that this sort of thing – and the collision between an oil tanker and a river cruise ship near New Orleans earlier – wasn’t supposed to happen now that Sean Duffy was in charge and all the DEI hires had been purged from American transportation infrastructure.

Saying that the “Front Row Joes” are to American politics what Phish Heads and Juggalos are to their respective acts’ concert scenes is pretty rude to those fanbases – even the one that wears evil clown makeup and some elements of which are considered a criminal organization by many a law enforcement agency – but it’s the closest analogue we’ve got here. The “Front Row Joes,” numbering from about 250 core members – like that “Brick Suit” dickhead with the tacky “border wall” pattern on his signature jacket and pants – to something like 1,200 including casual-ish associates, have for the past decade followed convicted felon President Trump to his rallies far and wide, posting themselves at the front of the line days in advance to grab a spot at the front row.

Rick Frazier will no longer be joining them. The 70 year-old Ohioan told the Washington Post that Trump is now “the king of the swamp,” having lost Frazier by mocking Democrats’ seizure of affordability as a campaign theme as well as Trump dragging his feet on the Epstein files. And one other thing: The interview took place in Frazier’s living room, where on the wall hangs a framed letter personally written by Trump in 2023 expressing condolences over the death of Frazier’s daughter from a drug overdose. Trump’s pardon of Honduran narco-tyrant Juan Orlando Hernandez did not sit right at all. “See, that got me all upset,” Frazier told the Post, who described him as emotional.

Rick says he voted for his Congressman and incoming house Minority Leader Jim Jordan but on the same ballot he also backed Dems Governor-Elect Amy Acton and former Senator-now-Senator-Elect Sherrod Brown over Trump minions Vivek Ramaswamy and Jon Husted. “I’m kind of going to go back to the way I was before Trump. I was independently swinging wherever the best guy was running, and that’s the way I think it should be,” Frazier said, adding he still kinda likes JD Vance.

“People close to” Vice President Neckbeard tell CNN that the Orange Allah’s numero dos is giving “serious consideration to not running for president in 2028” for various reasons such as that he’s only 42 now and has decades left in him, just had a fourth kid, and – of course – how 2028 is going to go for whoever the Republican nominee is, given “the political climate Trump has created.”

“The question isn’t if JD can do it. It’s: If the Iran war is still happening, can any Republican do it?” an unnamed “Vance ally” said, adding “If they don’t end the war, no Republican has a shot at 2028.”

CNN also writes that Vance’s midterms post-mortem “irritated President Donald Trump,” lol.

A mailer calling Republican Arizona soon-to-be-ex-Congressman Juan Ciscomani a “Mexican-born RINO.” A text message warning voters to “STOP liberals and Fake Republicans from TAKING OUR GUNS,” that praised Ohio Libertarian candidate Thomas McMasters in the Buckeye State’s 10th District where Dem Kristina Knickerbocker felled GOP incumbent Congressman Mike Turner. A robocall proclaiming “There is only one conservative running for US Senate in Minnesota this year and her name is Rebecca Whiting” when the actual Republican nominee – and eventual second-place finisher to Dem Lt Gov Peggy Flanagan – was former Fox Sports anchor Michelle Tafoya.

These are just a handful of the examples collected by CNN’s KFile of pro-Dem sandbagging by sketchy groups with names like Our Heritage Matters, American Forge Coalition, and Patriotic Duty Initiative, the first of which was formed in the middle of October. The boosts for third-party scrub candidates – two of whom got more votes than the Dem’s margin of victory – were enabled by the MAGA propaganda-industrial complex’s favorite Supreme Court ruling, Citizens United.

…is pretty fucking stupid, let’s be honest here.

Recall last year there was a situation with the chairman of Indian auto parts giant Sona Comstar. A different industry. Different circumstances. And yet the company’s stock price took a beating after news broke that chairman Sunjay Kapur was suddenly no longer in charge of the manufacturer.

Yeah, Kapur swallowed a bee while playing polo and died of anaphylactic shock because the fucker stung him on the insides. But the market reacted to the sudden removal of the Sona Comstar’s CEO same as it did with Nvidia’s: The stock price tumbled, dropping 8 percent the next day. Comstar’s buyers also took about a 1 percent hit, though it’s difficult to tell if it was solely Kapur’s death given that convicted felon President Trump was also in the midst of another one of his tariff tantrums.

Shares of Sona Comstar are up 81 percent in the nearly 17 months since Kapur’s death. The company and indeed the auto manufacturers who depend on them to continue production of the parts they need to keep their factory lines churning weren’t stung all that badly (tee-hee).

This asshole also claimed there are active criminal investigations into Congressional Dems.

“NOW THAT Nvidia CEO JENSEN HUANG, who has done a fantastic job, has resigned, there is only one man to take his place – TIM COOK of Apple. A Legend replaces a Legend!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday

The tech-financial industry is in emotional shambles Thursday as Nvidia CEO and top Trump crony Jensen Huang resigned from the company he founded following two affairs – one with a Chinese spy and the other with an exec who reported to him – per a press release from the tech company.

“Board of Directors announced today that Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately. Colette Kress, current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NVIDIA, has agreed to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer. Kress will continue to serve as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer while serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer until a permanent successor has been named. The Board is initiating a search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and will consider internal and external candidates. Kress has served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NVIDIA since joining the company in September 2013. During her tenure, she has led the company’s finance organization and has played a key role in NVIDIA’s growth and evolution,” said the release.

🚨 WOW! Nearly 2,000 migrants are now marching north from Tapachula, and some are OPENLY SAYING they hope the Democrat wins mean the BORDER OPENS.

They heard "blue wave" and packed their bags.

What they DIDN'T hear is that the White House is still BRIGHT RED.

Trump just… https://t.co/ChIKciy5KK

While it was obvious for the past week it’s now official: CNN has called that Dem challenger Scott Colom will defeat Republican Mississippi Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith, the prosecutor taking the job of the woman who once denied him a vote to a US Attorney’s Office.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime earlier this year indicted a Somali man, Abdullahi Mohamed, who once briefly served as a bodyguard to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, hoping to “flip” him on Omar, the New York Times reports. That simple description belies just how fucking stupid the story is, where a guy who worked for her for a few days during a trip to Somalia was interrogated on whether he knew if Omar had actually married her brother, among other shit.

The dumbest part is either the fact that Mohamed isn’t in the US – the Times spoke to him over the phone while he’s in Nairobi – or the basis of the “case”: He applied for a green card last year and was asked whether he’d had “any interactions with any government officials or politicians in the United States.” Mohamed, whose English isn’t great, said no, thus making him criminally liable for lying to a US government official, punishable by up to five years in prison. Misunderstanding a question during an immigration interview is almost never prosecuted, especially not when the option is to just deny the goddamned green card. Mohamed’s defense lawyer Bruce Rivers said federal prosecutors told him the case was “100 percent being run by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.”

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my almost 28 years practicing law in federal court,” said Rivers.

“I want to congratulate Representative-Elect Raymond Smith on his successful election for the Third District Congressional seat. I am sure he will serve the next two years with honor and integrity. I would be remiss if I did not express personal disappointment in not being able to continue what I believe was good and diligent work on behalf of the people of eastern North Carolina.”

“That said I could not be prouder of my staff and all those who worked on the campaign and in my Congressional offices. We ran a hard and positive campaign highlighting our excellent constituent services as well as the work we have done fighting for our Veterans, our Farmers, and” blah blah blah posted North Carolina MAGA Congressman Greg Murphy on Wednesday in a tweet with the replies disabled. What a friggin wiener, couldn’t even take the gloating.

Murphy voted against certifying the 2020 election and last year told Fox News he was “praying” for “evil woman. Just an evil woman” Hillary Clinton to be brought to justice for her atrocities.

From a Tuesday letter from the White House Counsel’s Office to incomiong House Oversight Chair Robert Garcia: “I write to remind you of the foundational limits that the Constitution imposes on congressional investigations and subpoenas, which you and members of the new Congress have evinced a clear intent to transgress. The Supreme Court has held that ‘[i]nvestigations conducted solely for the personal aggrandizement of the investigators or to ‘punish’ those investigated are indefensible.’ Congressional investigations must further a legitimate legislative task; Congress cannot employ them to exercise powers of criminal prosecution assigned to the Executive and the Judiciary. These principles require Congress to identify a legitimate legislative purpose underlying its investigative acts. Failure to do so in this context represents a clear abuse of power and an affront our constitutional system to of government and to the rule of law. We are monitoring the abusive and capricious threats that are now proliferating from Democrat legislators who seek to abuse the legislative process to intimidate and to interfere with the lawful functioning of government.”

“Recent public statements underscore these concerns. You and your congressional colleagues have asserted that they will issue subpoenas to harass, threaten, and deter dedicated members of the Administration from further service. Several have compared their subpoena pledges to handing out ‘candy,’ ‘Mardi Gras beads,’ and enough paper to level forests.”
