“I disagree 100 percent with Jeanine Pirro, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking? To me, it was a pure case of VANDALISM, that included the grass, which had a big 86 47 emblazoned in giant letters on it, and other elements of the surrounding area. There may have been some contractor difficulty, but the major damage was caused by VANDALS!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Saturday, evidently fucking furious that Judge Box-o-Wine’s prosecutors on Friday disclosed that David Hearn did not damage the reflecting pool and it was just a shitty job by the crony contractor that caused the issues.

“The Yemeni militant Houthi group says it’s targeting vital Saudi Arabian energy facilities – a situation that threatens to harden high gasoline prices at a precarious moment for Republicans ahead of the midterms. The Houthis’ target: Abqaiq, the world’s largest crude oil processing facility, which is responsible for stabilizing about 7 percent of the world’s crude oil. Many of its critical components are custom-built and irreplaceable on any short timeline,” writes Politico in the lede to a Friday story headlined “Iran-backed militant group’s threat to Saudi energy hub could upend Trump’s midterm message” that maybe, just maybe, could’ve used another set of eyes before they clicked “publish.”

A fresh set of eyes, one maybe from outside the whole Beltway Media ecosystem that would read it and then, quite reasonably, have said “Hey guys. Um, you come across as just sort of awfully fucking myopic when you deem an imminent disruption to 7 percent of the world’s oil supply as primarily a threat to ‘Trump’s midterm message,’ rather than, you know, the entire global economy.”

“It’s not that’s false to write that such an attack on Abqaiq could come at the ‘worst possible moment for President Donald Trump’ and ‘the Republican majority in Congress,’ so much as that there are another 8 billion people on the planet whose lives and livelihoods would feel an oil shortage much harder than would Donald Trump and the other 272 elected Republicans in DC. So maybe you could have found some space to mention them or – even better – actually put them first and then worked your way toward the domestic political salience of this possible imminent attack on this crucial lynchpin of the global oil supply,” this outsider would have added, quite helpfully.

Yeah, there aren’t any good PG-13 movies left that haven’t already been ran here and yes, HP Lovecraft was a racist asshole. Like beyond just the old “he was a product of his time.” Supposedly Lovecraft moderated quite a bit toward the end of his 47 years, but his most iconic works were still written well in thick of his bigotry and it comes through very heavily in parts. Still, sometimes you gotta separate the art from the artist and Lovecraft produced some quite brilliant written art.

The Shadow Over Innsmouth, printed in some cheap piece of shit pulp magazine and scarcely noticed before Lovecraft’s death, may be his best. It’s a hell of a slow burn that sneaks up on you.

Convicted felon President Trump’s top enforcers on Friday admitted that former US Olympian canoeist David Hearn, indicted earlier this month following his arrest for dipping his hand in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, did not actually inflict any damage upon it and moved to dismiss the indictment. Per now-indie journo Scott MacFarlane, DC US Attorney Judge Box-o-Wine’s team even informed the judge that “Damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor,” lol. What a fucking embarrassment and small wonder the drunken hag waited until almost 6:00 PM on a summer Friday to file the motion.

But hey, that doesn’t mean the “pro-algae” libs won’t eventually be caught for their crimes.

“What’s happening with Spain, with tens of thousands of Illegal Immigrants invading it, happened in the United States during the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, and it will happen again, only worse, if Dumocrats ever again gain power. DON’T LET OUR COUNTRY BE DESTROYED. VOTE REPUBLICAN, AND BE PROUD OF THE USA,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, likely uninterested in the actual geography of the situation and that it’s not continental Spain getting rushed.

Big shocker that he would try to capitalize on the situation that tragically left dozens of the migrants dead from drowning but no reports of any real violence or even property damage to Cueta, a Spanish city bordering Morocco and one of just a small handful of such post-colonial territorial outposts in Africa. Far-right Spanish party VOX’s leader Santiago Abascal fapped to the anarchy as well, calling Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez a “traitor” who “behaves like an enemy of the Spanish people. The national emergency can only be resolved by kicking him out,” and so on and so forth.

Ceuta and other African enclave Melilla are subject to border controls with the Spanish mainland, meaning the migrants had effectively no real chance of making it across the Strait of Gibraltar legally. But fascists gotta work with what they have so here’s Trump and Absacal working it. Worth looking into who it was who actually incited the rush on Ceuta. The answer may not surprise you.

Despite being a deranged quack who makes Rand Paul look like Maimonides, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladopo this week managed to dispense some common sense advice to Sunshine Staters currently seeing a spike in leprosy cases, telling them that the flesh-eating disease of medieval suffering can be easily prevented by simply avoiding wild armadillos, WFTV reports.

The Florida Department of Health has confirmed 17 cases statewide so far in 2026, following an uptick in reported infections during 2025, with the armadillo advice actually based in scientific research identifying the small, scaly mammals as a known vector for the bacteria.

Unable to completely suppress his rage at his ex-son-in-law and fellow Republican Ohioan member of Congress Max Miller, Buckeye State Senator Bernie Moreno on Thursday instead channeled it at Anthony Fauci, the retired 85 year-old public health bureaucrat that convicted felon President Trump failed to fire in 2020 even while blaming him for Trump’s gross mismanagement of the pandemic.

The Spanish enclave of Cueta – one of a small number of extant territories remaining after Europe decolonized Africa in the 20th Century – was stormed by as many as 60,000 migrants crossing the border with Morocco by swimming around the fencing on Thursday and Friday, completely overrunning the small city of 84,000 and prompting officials to declare an emergency, El Pais reports.

“John Cornyn never had a problem with the so called ‘Fund,’ which will not benefit me, but rather the great American Patriots who were hunted down like dogs and whose lives were unfairly and illegally destroyed by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, until after I decided to Endorse and Support his Republican primary opponent in Texas who easily won the Nomination for the United States Senate.”

“Perhaps there has never been a group of people treated so badly in our Nation’s history. They are suffering still, many ruined, and I felt that they should be given compensation for what has been done to them. I gave up any payments for myself, which would have been substantial, including for the illegal and unprecedented raid on Mar-a-Lago, my home in Florida, even though many legal experts, and others, including John Cornyn, said it was a shocking and disgusting display of ‘weaponization’ against me. Such an event has never happened before, and hopefully will never happen again! I will always feel that these victims of government abuse should be paid back for what they were forced to endure, their lives have been ruined! Millions of people agree with me, as was proven in my landslide Presidential win, where this was a major subject of debate, and so did John Cornyn, until he lost his Election to an opponent that I Endorsed. Todd Blanche, a good man, should be immediately approved as US Attorney General,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, who maybe should’ve thought about this before the whole interfering in a primary thing.

You want to know why Republicans hate CNN? Well here it is, eight minutes of absolute hell for spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan, squirming helplessly when confronted with his condemnation of now-former Dem Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner while being asked to reconcile it with his silence on the horrible domestic abuse accusations against fellow Ohio MAGA Congressman Max Miller. The new domestic abuse allegations from his now ex-wife, Emily Moreno.

Not the old domestic abuse allegations from former White House Press Secretary Steph Grisham, who the then-White House staffer Miller punched in the face when they were cohabitating in DC. That was before Miller went back home and was elected to Congress because Trump needed someone to run in a primary against one of the Republicans who had voted to impeach him in 2021.

So there’s Gymbo falling back into his old habit of ignoring abusers when convenient, admitting that he’s not a lawyer, just looking like the UTTERLY weak and pathetic simp Americans have known and hated for a decade. So it’s no wonder MAGA World hates the network and wants it gutted, leaving only the question of why Jim Jordan thought it was a good idea to go on camera.

It’s because he’s stupid. He’s just fucking stupid. That’s all. There’s no larger picture here,

A new Fox News survey of Texas voters finds Dem state Representative James Talarico leading corrupt sinner Attorney General Ken Paxton 51 to 48 percent in the extremely crucial Senate race.

If you like that then you’ll love the part where the propaganda network – whose polling is widely considered to be serious and reliable in contrast to its news-ish content – writes that “Talarico’s advantage in the horserace grows to 6 points among both extremely motivated and extremely interested voters (53 percent vs 47 percent in each group).” Take that for what you will, that in a world where sometimes the Democratic candidate’s lead in polling, whether they won or lost, turns out to have been overstated, that it’s always something to chalk up to response bias. Seems Fox’s pollsters are trying to correct for that, thus making the 51 to 48 look more realistic in contrast.

The upshot being that nobody should be surprised if Talarico wins by like 1.5 percent. If anything you might want to seriously consider this race to be “lean Democrat” and a flip as more likely than not.

“Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting.”

“Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday as Blanche’s confirmation process stalled amid an impasse with the two lame duck Republicans over the self-dealing provisions of the Orange God Emperor’s rigged settlement with the IRS. Lol at the “political careers have been ended by my action” part, both for being mostly true and an MSM trope being appropriated by Trump himself in his words. That is legitimately hilarious.

But on the rigged settlement: The $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” part Trump can kind of take or leave for a multitude of reasons, like the fact that he can and regularly does order his minions’ bullshit cases against the government to go effectively uncontested one-by-one.

The audit immunity side is a different story, because it extends to his corrupt shitbag sons’ crypto scam operations and, as Cornhole Cornyn said earlier, isn’t a precedent he wants set.

Evidently having realized that the “you need to show ID to use your Olive Garden Never-Ending Pasta Pass” line had only so much mileage in it as a pitch for the still-stalled SAVE America Act, Virginia MAGA Congressman John McGuire on Thursday floated to Newsmax viewers a new, more politically relevant one with “you can’t go to the Obama museum without a photo ID,” therefore the Senate GOP should abolish the filibuster and pass the draconian bill that imposes significantly more burdens on American voters than simply having to show a driver’s license before casting a ballot.

The invocation calls into question why the Olive Garden one went first since, well, it’s Barack Obama’s presidential library. That last month management told Snopes that “The Obama Presidential Center’s campus is free and accessible to all without a photo ID. The only ticketed area of the campus is the four floors of the museum. No ID required to get into the museum, unless you want the discounted rate for Illinois residents or the Illinois free day” and thus McGuire is full of shit doesn’t matter. It’s simply more effective than Olive Garden and there’s no good reason why the party as a whole hasn’t been sticking with acting as though the Illinois resident discount nuance represents the entirety of the Center’s entry policy. It’s not like the Newsmax lady fact-checked him or anything.

Nor did she question whether McGuire is off his meds when he claimed that ivermectin would have been a more effective ingredient for the COVID vax than fetus body parts.

In a report compiled by Dems on the Senate Homeland Security Committee obtained by MS Now, Ranking Member Gary Peters and staff write that “since the first day of his second term, President Trump and his Administration have dismantled critical national security agencies and programs and diverted significant resources and attention away from the fight against terrorism. These actions are the result of a combination of ideologically motivated firings and realignment of personnel and the wielding of government resources – from grants to counterterrorism authorities – as a weapon against political opponents. The Administration’s actions have left Americans far more vulnerable to a potential terrorist attack, and left law enforcement without the tools to protect our nation.”

Unsaid in the report is how this is going to make it harder to blame Biden for any attack.

With just over 12 hours before they were supposed to convene to vote on advancing Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s nomination to the post ahead of a full floor vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday abruptly announced the postponement of the “markup session.”

“Chairman Grassley works to set President Trump’s nominees up for success in committee, not failure. Senators Cornyn and Tillis want written assurances from the Department of Justice regarding the Trump-IRS settlement. Tomorrow’s markup is postponed as work continues to secure sufficient support in committee to favorably report Attorney General-nominee Todd Blanche, who is highly qualified for the job,” a spokesman for Grassley said in a statement.

Quick semi-correction to Tuesday night’s article about convicted felon President Trump reaching the lowest approval rating in the Economist/YouGov weekly survey: The sentence “this week’s Economist/YouGov national survey finds Donald at his lowest approval rating ever in their history” is technically true because 34 percent approve is the lowest ever. It’s just not the first time they found him at 34 percent, since a May sampling did come back with that same approval number. However the finding was still a “new record” because net approval at negative 28 is indeed the lowest ever.

The same problem does not exist with Thursday’s Quinnipiac national survey as 32 percent approve is the lowest ever for the fat fuck in absolutes. “Thirty-two percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 58 percent disapprove, with 10 percent not offering an opinion. Trump’s 32 percent approval is an all-time low approval rating for him in a Quinnipiac University poll,” the write-up says, making the record unambiguous.

Also on Wednesday CNN dropped a new survey finding Donald at 34 percent approval overall and at 78 percent among Republican respondents, which they write is an all-time low with his party.
