The Senate Leadership Fund PAC, the top Republican money machine for the chamber, is pulling the plug on spending in North Carolina, deeming former RNC chair Mike Whatley’s bid against Dem former Gov Roy Cooper a lost cause, Axios reports, adding that the SLF is diverting to defend Kansas Senator Roger Marshall, the douchebag who sued his patients for owing him amounts like $129.

Another poll on Friday put Dem Adam Hamilton leading Marshall 50 to 48 percent.

The cope over the monthly jobs report coming in at 29,000 added to payrolls in September, two-thirds short of the 89,000-ish expected, was rough on Fox Business News on Friday.

“Republicans in the Senate have to get moving on what I call the ‘No More Changing of Clocks Act,’ officially known as The Sunshine Protection Act, a ridiculous Clock changing process that takes place twice a year, costs our Country a fortune, is bad for Crime, stress on people, Sports, and just about everything else you can imagine. Even the highly respected PGA Commissioner, Brian Rolapp, needs it for the completion of Golf Tournaments in the Winter, when they just plain run out of sunlight. People don’t want to go around changing their Clocks anymore and, besides, far and away, most people like having an hour of extra sunlight in the evening, rather than in the morning.”

“The House has passed this Bill, 308-117, on July 14, 2026, with Great Bipartisan support. Both Democrats and Republicans want it to happen. It’s now up to the US Senate where it would be another Great Bipartisan Victory. Unfortunately, it’s being held up by Senator Tom Cotton, of Arkansas, for reasons unknown. People are sick and tired of having to change their Clocks twice a year. Even most farmers would rather have additional time in the evening to harvest their crops. It is foolish, inconvenient and, in some cases, very costly. For Cities and States with Watchtowers, and hard to reach places, it costs Millions of Dollars,” posted convicted felon President Trump just after midnight Friday and just gotta stop there because it appears the fat bastard seriously just confused “clock towers” with “Watchtowers.” Very on-brand, both the dementia-induced word slip and bizarre, forced concern for workers having to manually adjust the arms/gears of however many large, public analog clocks exist whose owners/operators actually bother to change for DST.

All the shit that convicted felon President Trump has announced to help salvage Republicans’ electoral prospects where they’re in trouble – a $50 billion natural gas pipeline in Alaska, a $15 billion steel plant in Iowa and a $3.2 billion bridge project in Alabama – are coming too late to make any meaningful difference on the ballot, Politico has decided.

“I stated, numerous times, that it would take 4-6 weeks to get rid of THE IRAN NUCLEAR THREAT, and I did it in one night! The rest of the time is just to make sure it stays that way,” posted the President of the United States on Thursday as his awesome sky headquarters barreled toward Texas so he could help contain another major threat to American freedom.

“Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey® (PMMS®), showing the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 7.28 percent” says Freddie Mac in a press release that then quotes Chief Economist Sam Khater saying “With mortgage rates on their current trajectory, the housing market continues to be supported by favorable economic conditions,” apparently with a straight face as he’d be fired if he said it’s not good for homebuyers.

Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Thursday bemoaned all the “manufactured” blowback from MAGAmerica over her moronic “gamer” ad that depicted a white slacker as a welfare recipient, with the “white” part being the actual problem for a shit ton of far right influencers.

Jack Posobiec and a shit ton of others screamed that more Black Arkansans are on welfare than whites, which is true, but since more Arkansans are white, any one random recipient is more likely to be white than Black… Which Huckabee did not actually say on Fox and Friends, instead just pretended there was some conspiracy against her and then filled the rest of the time with robotic soundbites about her efforts to make life harder for poor people.

The federal complaint filed by Trump Regime murder victim Renee Nicole Good against her killer, ICE agent Jonathan Ross, along with Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, “czar” Tom Homan, former ICE director Todd Lyons, former Border Patrol official Greg Bovino, and ten other unidentified ICE officials is a 149-page dystopian horror novel about the utterly ghastly chain of events that led to her death and the abysmal aftermath. From page 10 of the introduction:

“As the federal government branded Renee a terrorist and declared that Ross had done nothing wrong, it moved to hide the evidence of what actually occurred on Portland Avenue. On the morning of the shooting, the FBI and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (‘BCA’) agreed to a joint investigation, as is standard in officerinvolved deaths. By that evening the United States Attorney had reversed course; BCA investigators were excluded from the interviews at the Whipple Federal Building, denied the names of the officers involved, and cut off from the vehicle and its contents, the shell casings, and the firearm. Renee and Becca’s car was removed from the scene before local investigators could process it. The Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, announced: ‘We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate. And that is not the case here… So no, we are not investigating.’ Numerous federal prosecutors resigned, and an FBI agent resigned after being pressured to abandon a civil rights inquiry into Ross in favor of an investigation of Becca instead.”

“Becca” being Renee’s wife, Rebecca Good, who along with her brother, Brent Ganger, also filed a separate, shorter complaint against the federal government as an individual entity.

From a lengthy and incomprehensible Time Magazine interview with President Trump:

It was said Ken Paxton for Senate 2026 was going to be a money pit, that it would cost Republicans and their donors a quarter-billion-dollars-plus to get him elected. That was probably underselling it as the newly-formed Texas PAC alone has spent $131 million in the 17 days leading up to this Tuesday, per Axios, quantifying just how badly the GOP is freaking the fuck out over the prospect of losing the seat for which $90 million+ was sunk into John Cornyn’s losing primary defense.

Sources tell Politico that Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt has identified his general counsel Ethan Harper as responsible for Schmitt making himself look like a complete fucking asshole during Tuesday’s hearing starring former Justice Department special counsel and Harper’s new White House job, which he was to start on Friday, is now in doubt because his incompetence is a bridge too far for that crew. “There is no evidence Harper was responsible for the gaffe,” Politico writes, lol.

Your eyes deceive you not. That is a real Newsmax clip from Tuesday. It’s there because the thumbnail is funnier than the screenshot of a headline of a Fox News article from Monday, September 28th of this year, 2026 that was in that spot in an earlier draft of this piece.

“USBP is closely engaged with its international partners to monitor their movement and additional developments,” the state told state media (Fox, not Newsmax in this particular quote). “USBP reminds migrants that under the leadership of President Trump and Homeland Secretary Mullin, the border has remained closed and secured for the last 16 months.” Fox News then fills in the most important details to the audience with “The caravan, numbering in the hundreds as of Monday, is predominantly made up of Hondurans, Guatemalans, Salvadorans, Ecuadoreans and Haitians.”

That fucking Newsmax “ELECTION SEASON CARAVAN” though. It’s right there. You don’t even need to click play and watch the video, they said it right up front, KNOWING full well that few if any of their goldfish-brained actual fans are going to stop and think “Hey, wait a second… Why DO these caravans full of brown people suddenly start coming toward the border every ‘election season’?”

The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General quietly declined to open an investigation into Attorney General Todd Blanche over the fucking blatant conflict of interest involved with him shutting down investigations into crypto scam companies while owning Bitcoin and Ethereum, the Washington Sun reports on the kind of shit that used to be a fireable offense.

Her career in politics and “public service” over, former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on Tuesday decided there was no point in not even actually pretending and filed for divorce from her sick weirdo husband Byron, ABC News reports without speculating on how long it’ll take for Corey Lewandowski to dump her since being with her is no longer as much fun now that she’s “officially” single again.

In audio obtained by the New York Times, Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton last week privately told a group of donors and lobbyists that convicted felon President Trump’s ill-conceived midterms convention earlier this month had damaged his campaign. “So to be honest with you, the numbers – when we did that convention – it dropped our numbers. Everybody’s numbers dropped. Right now, yeah, not good,” Paxton said at the event.

Paxton “may not be the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen,” Trump had said on the stage, “but you know what, he is – he’s the greatest attorney general in America.”

Say what you will about James Comer and Jim Jordan – this site has said plenty. Yet for all the many times that they made themselves look like absolute stupid assholes, even the clearest instances of their incompetence very rarely ever unfolded in real time, on live television, self-immolated the way pockmarked fascist white nationalist Missouri MAGA Senator Eric Schmitt did on Tuesday.

In all fairness, expectations are always pretty low when Comer and Jordan take their perches in the hearing room and start hammering their latest stupid bullshit conspiracy theory, making it fair to say Schmitt’s utterly embarrassing fuckup was actually worse since, until Tuesday, he had managed to project an image of estimable sophistication and competence compared to Gymbo and Fuckwheat.

Caleb Flynn, the former Evangelical pastor who Fox News opted to identify as a former American Idol contestant when he was arrested in February for shooting his wife Ashley in the head twice while she slept, was found guilty Tuesday on a single count of aggravated murder, Fox News reports. Flynn’s mistress read a significant number of the 107,000+ text messages exchanged between them during the eight-day trial, texts in which Caleb referred to Ashley as “douche.”

“Five weeks until Election Day, 51 percent of voters would want to see the Democratic Party win control of the US House of Representatives, while 39 percent would want to see the Republican Party win control of the House, with 9 percent not offering an opinion, according to a Quinnipiac University national poll among registered voters released today,” says the QU polling institute.

“Thirty-four percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 61 percent disapprove. This matches an all-time high disapproval that was last reached in Quinnipiac University’s January 18, 2021 poll, when 34 percent of voters approved of the way Trump was handling his job and 61 percent disapproved… The approval of Trump’s handling of the economy (31 percent) is at an all-time low for both terms. His previous low was in Quinnipiac’s September 10 poll, when 32 percent approved, 65 percent disapproved, and 3 percent did not offer an opinion.”

Just going to leave out the context because it’s true.
