Holy shit, lol. This is great. First off there’s Fox and Friends guy Lawrence Jones calling this Rutgers poll conducted in April “new” – and who the hell knew they even have a public opinion polling department – and then proceeding to completely skip over the red bar on the chart showing 20.3 percent of the “right of center” respondents think murdering their president is justified, with Jones focusing solely on the 56 percent of lefties saying the same. This is how far Fox had to stretch to sell a “bloodlust” narrative about American lefties, a poll from five months ago that for some fucking reason found a fifth of right wingers cool with Trump being murdered. What the actual hell, lol.

And they tweeted this exact clip too. That’s how National Zero found it and ripped it for YouTube.

This week’s YouGov/Economist national survey, conducted Thursday through Monday and thus entirely after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, asked respondents the very timely and appropriate question of “Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? ‘I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights,'” to which just 30 percent of respondents overall said they agree to 52 percent saying they disagreed, and 19 percent were unsure.

Among Trump 2024 voters 55 percent agreed, 26 percent disagreed, and 19 percent were unsure while just 11 percent of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s voters agreed versus 81 percent disagreeing and 8 percent unsure. Now maybe these questions can only be so long due to space limitations and/or it’s simply prudent polling to keep them as short as possible but the context of the quote might’ve been useful. At the very least maybe YouGov could’ve A/B tested a subsample with another version of the question mentioning that Kirk said it at a 2023 TPUSA event held just days after three schoolchildren and three teachers were massacred at the Covenant School in Nashville.

“Why was the wonderful Turning Point under INVESTIGATION by ‘Deranged’ Jack Smith and the Corrupt and Incompetent Biden Administration. They tried to force Charlie, and many other people and movements, out of business. They Weaponized the Justice Department against Sleepy Joe Biden’s Political Opponents, including ME! They allowed the daughter of a Judge, on one of the corrupt trials against me, to become the biggest fund raiser for Biden and Kamala, making many Millions of Dollars for herself and her family, but with her father, the Judge, not only refusing to RECUSE himself, but putting a gag order on me, not allowing ANY talk about their family corruption and unprecedented conflict of interest. Every leading legal analyst and pundit said this trial was wrong and should not have been allowed to go forward. But it did because of a Corrupt Judge who will hopefully pay a very big price for his illegal actions, someday!” posted convicted felon President Trump at 3:23 AM local time in the UK and must’ve been jetlag or indigestion or something.

Anyway Turning Point is basically a massive slush fund that, as of 2023, had paid at least $15.3 million to “vendors” owned by Kirk acolytes like fake Trump 2020 elector Arizona state Senator Jake Hoffman and other MAGA activist shitbag Tyler Bowyer and Smith was probably subpoenaing people at TPUSA for bussing Trump fans to the Capitol on January 6th. But hey, who could reasonably expect Trump to include those specifics or even really care about them when his post then immediately went into crying about how everything was so unfair to him personally.

A search is underway for some asshole who rammed his vehicle into the gates of the Pittsburgh FBI field office at approximately 2:40 AM on Wednesday, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports, citing a statement already calling it an “act of terror” absent other facts that would rule out simple DWI.

Sources tell ABC News that convicted felon President Trump and his minions are pushing Virginia federal prosecutors to indict New York Attorney General Letitia James for something something mortgage fraud “despite investigators so far failing to find sufficient evidence supporting such charges,” per ABC. In response to the friction, FHFA chief Bill “Scott Bessent’s bitch” Pulte has been nagging his Orange God Emperor to fire Eastern District of Virginia US Attorney Eric Siebert and find another prosecutor who is willing to do the important job of avenging Trump’s defeats in court.

The “case” against James is currently or has been already actually in front of a grand jury and as many as 15 witnesses have testified in front of them, among them insurers, loan officers, underwriters, realtors, and James’ niece, none of which was enough to clear the burden of finding probable cause that James knowingly lied about a convoluted situation. Basically all the “evidence” they have is that someone at a third-party closing company fucked up and used the wrong template for a single form – this while every other document was in order – to process James’ mortgage on a house in Virginia. Oh and that another document from 2001 concerning a Brooklyn townhouse James owns incorrectly listed it as a four-bedroom home when there are actually five bedrooms.

There’s no mention of whether the “case” has been no true billed by the grand jury but if 15 fucking witnesses have come and gone and nothing then just lol, what the hell is firing the US Attorney going to do? An even funnier sign of the regime’s impotence here is the email sent out by enforcer “Eagle Ed” Martin looking for more internal DOJ recruits for the effort pasted into ABC’s article.

Four members of the Stop Trump Coalition were arrested by London cops on Tuesday after the group projected photos of convicted felon President Trump with his sex trafficker friend Jeffrey Epstein on the side of Windsor Castle to “celebrate” his visit to the UK, the Independent reports.

“We take any unauthorised activity around Windsor Castle extremely seriously,” said Thames Valley Police Chief Superintendent Felicity Parker “Our officers responded swiftly to stop the projection and four people have been arrested. We are conducting a thorough investigation with our partners into this incident and will provide further updates when we are in a position to do so.”

Huh. You know going from a probably like $1,200/hour defense attorney to Deputy Attorney General of the United States sounds pretty good on paper but then when you also realize that he got highest profile client convicted on 34 felony counts that were supposed to be bullshit and then turns in this performance on CNN then it’s probably more accurate to call Todd Blanche more of a fail upward-type than an actual good lawyer. Like what the fuck is this nonsense about not making any real judgments about whether Ghislaine Maxwell was telling the truth when she fucking told him right to his face that Jeffrey Epstein was innocent of statutory rape and sex trafficking?

Dem Xp Lee on Tuesday won the Minnesota state House District 34B special election to replace assassinated caucus leader Melissa Hortman by a very comfortable 30+ margin, the AP reports.

And yeah, the guy’s given name is Xp. Not a typo and no idea how it’s pronounced. Far more of a mystery is why the Republicans even bothered putting up a candidate for this one.

Feels like that’s a few shades meaner than the usual Dem comebacks, doesn’t it?

Utah County, Utah DA Jeff Gray on Tuesday confirmed his office will seek the death penalty against Tyler Robinson in the assassination of MAGA activist Charlie Kirk, CBS News reports.

“The Republicans are going to do a Midterm Convention in order to show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024. Time and place to be determined. Stay tuned, it will be quite the Event, and very exciting!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, obviously already working on charging Republican donors to host the convention at one of his properties.

Russian oil pipeline monopoly Transneft has been warning producers and customers they may have to start cutting supplies as Ukrainian drone attacks have been taking a serious toll on infrastructure and terminal ports, Reuters reports citing industry sources in the toxic dump of country.

Transneft denied the report in a statement on their website, calling the news “fake” and part of the West’s “information war” against Russia. Guess they’re the experts on that kind of shit, right?

Tough call on the headline there. Wanted to go with “MAHA” instead of “QAnon” as tribute to Bobby Brainworms’ claiming that “Wifi radiation opens up your blood-brain barrier so all these toxins that are in your body can now go into your brain” on other stupid asshole Joe Rogan’s show a few years ago – plus “Make Afghanistan Healthy Again” is right there – but that wifi dumbassery is still pretty deep in Bobby Kennedy Jr’s catalog of greatest batshit stupid conspiracy theory hits.

QAnon’s the more natural, if slightly less daring choice, just sub wifi with 5G here, especially given the metaphysical element of “immortality” that would be right at home with a shit ton of just absolute fucking weirdness over the years from those freaks. So yeah, the AP reports that Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada has ordered a ban on wifi, but only in the northern Balkh province, enforcing that ban by simply ending cable internet access, meaning that if your device is hardwired via Cat-5 then well too bad. “This measure was taken to prevent immorality, and an alternative will be built within the country for necessities,” said Balkh provincial government spokesman Haji Attaullah Zaid, who the AP notes gave zero further info or details whatsoever.

Mobile data, possibly carried on 5G waves, still works in the province. Nobody has any idea what the hell’s going on and a local who asked not to be named for fear of getting murdered by the Taliban said “Blocking the internet is beyond my comprehension in such an advanced era.”

Get rid of her. Today. This is insane. Conservatives have fought for decades for the right to refuse service to anyone. We won that fight. Now Pam Bondi wants to roll it all back for no reason. The employee who didn’t print the flyer was already fired by his employer. This stuff… https://t.co/Ry7PEUz1ca

“This stuff is being handled successfully through free speech and free markets. This is totally gratuitous and pointless. We need the AG focused on bringing down the left wing terror cells, not prosecuting Office Depot for God’s sake,” Walsh continued in his angry screed.

“Having reviewed, among other things: (i) NBC News letter applications, dated August 13, 2025 and September 12, 2025, to ‘unseal’ the names of two individuals (‘Individual-1 and Individual-2’) who had been included in the Government’s July 16, 2019 application to detain (remand) Epstein pending trial; (ii) the letter, dated September 5, 2025, from Brittany N Henderson and Bradley J Edwards, counsel to Epstein victims, contending that ‘it is imperative that the [two] names remain sealed, as disclosure poses a real threat to victims’ safety and privacy and would be in violation of 18 USC § 3771′ (the ‘Crime Victims’ Rights Act’), and (iii) the Government’s opposition to unsealing. The names of Individual-1 and Individual-2 should remain sealed to protect their legitimate privacy interests,’ see Gov’t Resp, dated Sept 5, 2025, at 3 (ECF No. 79); the Court denies NBC News’ applications to unseal the names of Individual-1 and Individual-2 and orders that the two names shall remain sealed,” wrote SDNY Judge Rochard Berman in a Tuesday ruling spiking NBC’s bid to unseal the names of two individuals who received wire transfers from dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein prior to his 2008 “sweetheart deal” with future Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.

The names were blacked out of a 2019 filing mentioning the two as potential co-conspirators in the case against Jeff that died with him in August of that year. AllRise’s Adam Klasfeld speculates that the two are actually both victims and co-conspirators because what Jeff ran was a pyramid scheme in which his victims were paid extra to recruit new victims into his and Ghislaine’s harem. Klasfeld points out that it was indeed a victim‘s lawyer or lawyers who had fought against this unsealing.

The upshot being that it is EXTREMELY likely that this mini-drama has, unlike so much else in the long Epstein saga, actually been resolved even if the exact names will remain sealed indefinitely.

“Trump’s tariffs are coursing through the American (and world) economy, even if their macro effects are taking time to show up in the national statistics. Consider a case study in the daily institution of millions that is morning coffee. This summer Mr Trump hit Brazil with a 50 percent tariff because he said the country is prosecuting his friend, Jair Bolsonaro. One problem for Americans is that Brazil is the world’s biggest coffee producer, and its beans are in more than one of every three cups of joe brewed in the US Every American coffee drinker either is paying more or soon will as a result. The US has only a few regions suitable for growing coffee, and the amount they produce isn’t grande.”

“Other countries face lower tariffs, but they can’t match Brazil’s supply, and as demand increases for beans from alternative sources, prices for non-Brazilian coffee will rise too, says Albert Scalla, the senior vice president of trading at the commodity broker StoneX… Tariffs at their essence are an income transfer from millions of individuals and businesses to the US government. Like all taxes, they’re a windfall for politicians. In the case of coffee, tariffs don’t even protect a domestic constituency. They are a tax on American consumption pure and simple—a tax on MAGA’s forgotten man,” writes the Wall Street Journal’s editorial board in a darkly scalding take.

They needed to say something even though they shouldn’t really have to in response to the Orange God Emperor’s latest frivolous bullshit lawsuit on Tuesday, so the New York Times kept it short and sweet with “This lawsuit has no merit. It lacks any legitimate legal claims and instead is an attempt to stifle and discourage independent reporting. The New York Times will not be deterred by intimidation tactics. We will continue to pursue the facts without fear or favor and stand up for journalists’ First Amendment right to ask questions on behalf of the American people.”

A Manhattan judge on Tuesday tossed the State of New York’s two terrorism charges against UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s assassin Luigi Mangione, ruling that the counts in the indictment stretched too far on the definition of terrorism and ignored “other, more explicit excerpts from defendant’s writings in which he states that his goal is to spread a ‘message’ and ‘win public support’ about ‘everything wrong with our health system.’ Therefore, the court finds that the People failed to establish an intent to ‘influence’ or ‘affect’ government. This court will focus on the intent element that both sides appear to emphasize – the intimidation or coercion of a civilian population.”

Mangione’s defense however took a bigger ding on another key ruling, pausing the state trial so the federal one could proceed first, the argument being that a conviction at the state level could prejudice his case in federal court – where he faces the death penalty. Judge said no dice on that.
