Yo Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials, check it: “Shade” means “disrespect” in Gen Z slang, according to MassLive.com’s article about a Brookline, Massachusetts teenager whose prank Google Maps submission ended up becoming a real street name. Pretty ratchet, right?!?

Ughhh man. Hasn’t “shade” been around for like 10, maybe 15 years by now? Jesus Christ, lol. What makes it even more ridiculous is that the “clarification” distracts from the overall point of the article, which is pretty funny and interesting in and of itself, a 21st century version of the “Paper Town” of Agloe, New York. Shortest version possible: Back when commercially-produced paper maps were the only way to get driving directions, plagiarism was rampant. If you owned a printing press why bother with putting in all the work to create and draw your own maps when you could just buy one from a bigger company and copy their drawings? It got to the point where mapping drafters selling their work to Esso in the 1920s started putting fake towns on their maps in order to catch scammers, one of them being “Agloe,” placed at the intersection of two country roads in Delaware County.

Then in the 1930s Rand McNally printed a map with Agloe on it and Esso thought they caught them stealing their work, buuuuut turned out that some family had opened up “Agloe Lodge Farms” at the intersection, thus making the paper town real. The name persisted for decades – even though nobody actually lived there after the lodge closed – into the 1990s when Rand McNally removed it.

“On Dec 4, at the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel in international waters operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization. Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific. Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed,” says US Southern Command in a press release Thursday.

Note how they didn’t actually name this “Designated Terrorist Organization.”

Sur-fucking-prise, the US Supreme Court on Thursday allowed Texas Republicans to use their gerrymandered map for the 2026 midterms because fuck you lower court federal judges writing 160+ pages outlining all the illegal shit the MAGA worms did to get that map.

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime took a big L on Thursday as a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia no true billed their bullshit “mortgage fraud” case against New York Attorney General Letitia James, ABC’s Katherine Faulders reports on what’s gotta be getting close to a hundred fails at this stage of the criminal justice system for Team Orange so far this year.

Capitol rioter Taylor Taranto, who was wanted by the FBI when he was arrested in DC while likely attempting to kill former President Barack Obama in 2023, pardoned on the riot charges in January, and then sentenced to time served in October for the Obama charges, has been spotted near Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin’s home just outside the capital, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

Cheney adds that Taranto, who drove from Washington state, has been in the area for a few days now, stalking around the Pentagon and Raskin’s neighborhood. Federal prosecutors are seeking to have the asshole tossed in the clink for violating the terms of his supervised release.

Of course they could’ve just imprisoned him for whatever the maximum would’ve been two months ago but, considering two Assistant US Attorneys faced harsh discipline for having accurately blamed Trump for posting a link to an article containing Obama’s DC address hours before Taranto was arrested there in late June 2023, it would seem pretty obvious that someone wanted him off the hook… if not Trump himself. So now they have to lock him up again before he does anything stupid for which the Trump Regime could very accurately be blamed for having allowed Taranto out.

Grand theft auto suspect Darrell Issa confirmed to the AP on Thursday he will not be moving to Texas to run for a House seat there. “I appreciate the opportunity, but California is my home. I told them I’m going to stay in Congress, and I don’t need to go to Texas for that,” said Issa.

Sources said convicted felon President Trump had commanded Issa to stay put because he has the best chance to win his reelection campaign in a district that was drawn specifically for him to lose.

Last night, voters stopped Aftyn Behn and once again rejected the Democrats’ radical platform.

“She way underperformed last night, and it's because their message is so far off. They are just bowing to the far-left woke side of their party.” – RNC Co-Chair @kc4gop pic.twitter.com/DaXOUdFtdu

You wouldn’t know it from the RNC’s tweet above that Congressional Republicans – on Tuesday into Wednesday following their dude Matt Van Epps’s 8.9 percent win in Tennessee’s 7th District special election – are not looking forward to next November, with one who was “granted anonymity to speak candidly” telling Politico that “Tonight is a sign that 2026 is going to be a bitch of an election cycle.”

“Republicans can survive if we play team and the Trump administration officials play smart. Neither is certain,” the weasel continued, the lack of “certainty” in that an understatement at best.

GOP Strategist Matt Bartlett was even less sanguine, saying “None of it bodes well for the GOP in the midterms. Being an ostrich with your head in the sand on the key issues that matter most to Americans is not a strategy, or certainty not a winning one.” Canadian-American Texas Senator Ted Cruz told Fox News the situation “was dangerous. We could have lost this district because the people who showed up, many of them are the ones that are motivated by how much they dislike President Trump. In a year, it’s going to be a turnout election, and the left will show up.”

“Hate is a powerful motivator,” Cruz added because even if irony’s dead he can still abuse its corpse.

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake, strong enough to cause significant structural damage and landslides if usually limited in casualties inflicted, struck 12 miles outside of Nevada’s capital of Carson City at 8:06 PDT on Thursday morning, according to a USGS seismological alert system that fucked up and sent a bunch of automated alerts out while nobody in the area felt any shaking whatsoever.

“This was an errant earthquake warning sent out by the USGS’s ShakeAlert system,” Kyren Bogolub, seismologist at the University of Nevada, Reno Seismological Laboratory, told the Reno Gazette-Journal following the non-disaster that killed 0 and injured 0. “There was no earthquake. We are awaiting more information from the USGS. Thank you for your patience while we sort this out.”

It’s not clear how many QAnon freaks learned of the false alarm and then immediately concluded that it wasn’t the USGS alert system that malfunctioned, but the Deep State’s secret earthquake weaponry that was scheduled to be tested on Carson City at that exact moment. That being said, this is an awfully freaking weird glitch if it wasn’t some IT engineer simply forgetting to make sure that he/she was still in the test environment. You can’t just find a USGS seismograph out in the field and hit it with a shovel expecting it to trigger an earthquake alert. There are redundancies.

Remember that thing about how convicted felon President Trump’s economy is supposed to get better next year because he’ll start doing something about it? Well Axios reports he will, in the form of MAGA rallies and speeches telling people that the Democrats’ focus on affordability is a con job.

“We’re told the president will aggressively push back against criticism over the cost of everyday essentials,” Axios writes, making the above characterization of their reporting pretty accurate.

“Three months after her husband, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated, Erika Kirk will open up about life, loss, the state of political discourse and more in a one-hour town hall event moderated by Bari Weiss, CBS News’ editor-in-chief. The special will be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 8 pm ET/PT on the CBS television network and will stream later on Paramount+ and CBS News 24/7.”

“The event, filmed before a studio audience, will feature Kirk fielding questions from young evangelicals, prominent religious leaders, and figures across the political spectrum. The conversation will also focus on our country’s political divide – and how we can find our way out.”

“Erika Kirk is the chairman and CEO of the Turning Point USA. The organization was founded by her late husband, a conservative political activist who was shot and killed on Sept 10, 2025, while speaking before a crowd on the campus of Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. ‘Like so many people around the world, I will never forget the moment that Erika Kirk forgave her husband’s killer,’ said Weiss. ‘I am eager to speak to her – and thrilled to be doing so in front of a group of Americans who I know will elevate the conversation.’ The town hall will be recorded in New York before an invited audience,” says a CBS News press release formatted as though it were an actualarticle.

“How embarrassing,” a plainly disgruntled CBS staffer told The Independent. “Bari’s been Editor-in-Chief for five seconds and has revealed that all she really wants is to be on TV herself.”

Virginia man Brian Cole has been named as the arrested suspect in the January 5, 2021 pipe bombing attempts at the DNC and RNC headquarters in DC, NBC News reports. More to come.

KFF Surveys: “If the enhanced premium tax credits are not extended, those who want to see them extended are most likely to blame Republican leaders, including President Trump. Four in ten of those who support extending the premium tax credits say that if they are not extended, President Trump deserves most of the blame (41 percent, or 34 percent of all Marketplace enrollees) and about a third (35 percent, or 29 percent of all enrollees) say Republicans in Congress deserve most of the blame. A smaller share (23 percent, 19 percent of all enrollees) says Democrats in Congress deserve most of the blame for not extending the credits. Unsurprisingly, partisans are most likely to say the other party deserves the blame if Congress doesn’t extend the enhanced premium tax credits. However, four in ten Republican enrollees who want to see the tax credits extended say they will either place most of the blame on President Trump (21 percent) or Republicans (21 percent).”

“Even among the most ardent supporters of President Trump, 14 percent of MAGA supporters say he will deserve most of the blame if the tax credits are not extended, and an additional one in five MAGA supporters (19 percent) say Republicans will deserve most of the blame.”

Concern lady Senator Susan Collins on Thursday told Punchbowl News she still plans to run again in 2026 but hasn’t made a final decision yet, which might be kind of concerning for her fans.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia will be meeting Thursday to hear convicted felon President Trump’s minions pitch a new federal felony case against New York Attorney General Letitia James for “mortgage fraud” after the first one was dismissed last month due to now-former Acting US Attorney Lindsey Halligan’s non-lawful appointment to the post, Reuters reports.

Actually the headline’s wrong because this’ll be the third attempt. The first grand jury that examined days’ worth of evidence and testimony never ended up voting on the charges, the second one saw an extremely pared-down presentation before returning the indictment that was ultimately tossed due to Halligan’s illegitimacy rather than the very large multitude of other problems with the case.

“New York City Mayor Eric Adams today signed two executive orders that will ensure city agencies continue to make sound financial decisions that protect taxpayer dollars and that protect New Yorkers’ right to practice their religion at houses of worship without harassment, while protecting freedom of speech and peaceful assembly. Executive Order No 60 prohibits mayoral agency heads, agency chief contracting officers, and any other mayoral appointees with discretion over contracting from engaging in procurement practices that discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel. The executive order also prohibits the chief pension administrator and mayoral trustees to the city pension system from opposing divestment from bonds and other assets that would discriminate against the State of Israel, Israeli citizens, or those associated with Israel,” says a press release from City Hall on the latest executive orders from the outgoing mayor.

It’s not clear if Adams thinks he’s got one over on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani, but you could totally see him believing that he’s outmaneuvered his leftist, Israel-skeptic successor.

Dem Illinois Senator Tammy Duckworth tells MS Now that Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is quietly trying to remove from the next National Defense Authorization Act a provision mandating IVF coverage for all active-duty military members, which was really the only effort convicted felon President Trump’s regime would have made toward fulfilling his campaign pledge to make IVF more accessible/affordable for all Americans, not just actively-serving military.

“After this provision was championed in bipartisan negotiations in both chambers of Congress, it is repugnant that Speaker Mike Johnson is single-handedly working behind closed doors – and against the President’s promise – to rip this provision away from our heroes and their families,” Duckworth, a disabled former Army chopper pilot who lost both of her legs in Iraq and mom to a daughter conceived through IVF, said. “Given how much we already ask them to sacrifice, how dare Mike Johnson demand that they sacrifice their dreams of having a family,” Duckworth added.

A Johnson spokesworm responded saying that “the Speaker has clearly and repeatedly stated he is supportive of access to IVF when sufficient pro-life protections are in place, and he will continue to be supportive when it is done responsibly and ethically.” Which is like saying he supports the military possessing nuclear weapons as long as they don’t cause any radioactive fallout when detonated, as there is no such thing as IVF that isn’t wholly antithetical to the “principles” of forced birtherism.

K$H Patel’s FBI have arrested a suspect in the January 6th, 2021 pipe bombing attempts outside of the DNC headquarters, ABC’s Katherine Faulders and MS Now’s Ken Dilanian report, with sources claiming the suspect is a Virginian and – conveniently for the MAGA DOJ’s narrative – “the suspect has been linked to statements in support of anarchist ideology,” though “anarchist” could be spin.
