Allegedly prescient groundhogs Punxsutawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck on Sunday made conflicting predictions on how much longer the winter of 2024-2025 was going to last, with the former predicting another six weeks of cold and the latter determining spring would arrive early, according to the National Weather Service’s New York office, which rates Chuck’s track record as 85 percent accurate to Phil’s 35 percent. What’s not clear is whether this is locally skewed – as in it wouldn’t be really that unbelievable for it to be 57 degrees and sunny in NUC while a blizzard dumps three feet of snow on central Pennsylvania in late February, thus both rodents would be “right.”

In conclusion Groundhog Day is stupid. The movie is pretty good though.

Drug-addicted white nationalist billionaire Elon Musk’s lawyers on Saturday amended an existing lawsuit against the World Federation of Advertisers, CVS, and Twitch to add Lego, Nestlé, Tyson Foods, Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Pinterest, and Shell International, as defendants in a federal complaint filed to essentially punish the corporate brands for not buying ad space on a social media platform that Musk ruined by allowing Neo-Nazis to run rampant, NPR reports.

“Collective action among competing advertisers to dictate brand safety standards to be applied by social media platforms shortcuts the competitive process and allows the collective views of a group of advertisers with market power to override the interests of consumer,” the original complaint said, evidently using the imprimatur of principled opposition to monopolies to push this horseshit.

“Last year, following the suit, the World Federation of Advertisers discontinued [its Global Alliance for Responsible Media] operations, explaining that ‘recent allegations that unfortunately misconstrue its purpose and activities have caused a distraction and significantly drained its resources and finances,'” NPR writes, explaining that they’ve already capitulated at least partially and yet Ketamine Brain continues adding defendants. Whether this goes the same way that convicted felon President Trump’s complaints against ABC News and Facebook did – and the way the one against CBS News reportedly is is about to go – remains to be seen. Maybe that there are so many increases the chances one will simply say “Alright, enough of this bullshit.” Hopefully that’s Lego, both in track with Danish refusal to capitulate to the MAGA Reich on the matter of Greenland, and that it’ll create room for a “Musk steps on Lego barefoot”-type headline. Everything would be awesome then.

Former MTV The Real World cast member-turned-elected member of Congress-turned-US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy on Sunday refused to divulge to CNN’s Jake Tapper the evidence that a massive fifth column of DEI saboteurs had infiltrated the nation’s air traffic control system. Have George Soros and other malefactors gotten to Duffy too? Discuss in the comments.

Later in a separate appearance on Fox News Sunday, Duffy suggested things like “changing names from ‘cockpit’ to ‘flightdeck'” made the nation’s aviation industry less safe.

“The ‘Tariff Lobby,’ headed by the Globalist, and always wrong, Wall Street Journal, is working hard to justify Countries like Canada, Mexico, China, and too many others to name, continue the decades long RIPOFF OF AMERICA, both with regard to TRADE, CRIME, AND POISONOUS DRUGS that are allowed to so freely flow into AMERICA. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! The USA has major deficits with Canada, Mexico, and China (and almost all countries!), owes 36 Trillion Dollars, and we’re not going to be the ‘Stupid Country’ any longer. MAKE YOUR PRODUCT IN THE USA AND THERE ARE NO TARIFFS! Why should the United States lose TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIZING OTHER COUNTRIES, and why should these other countries pay a small fraction of the cost of what USA citizens pay for Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, as an example? THIS WILL BE THE GOLDEN AGE OF AMERICA! WILL THERE BE SOME PAIN? YES, MAYBE (AND MAYBE NOT!). BUT WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, AND IT WILL ALL BE WORTH THE PRICE THAT MUST BE PAID. WE ARE A COUNTRY THAT IS NOW BEING RUN WITH COMMON SENSE – AND THE RESULTS WILL BE SPECTACULAR!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, emphasis added on “pain.”

“We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State. Much lower taxes, and far better military protection for the people of Canada – AND NO TARIFFS!” the fat bastard continued with his imperial fantasies in another stupid Truth Social post.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris apparently played the DNC leadership race smartly on Saturday, according to Politico, who writes that as she avoided “putting her thumb on the scale in a close race” between Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and Hakeem Jeffries-backed Wisconsin Dem chair Ben Wikler and winner Minnesota chair Ken Martin. Rather than picking a horse, Harris had instead called each one of the top three and said she looked forward to working with them.

“But the real good news for Harris appeared to come in the wellspring of goodwill she seemed to enjoy on Saturday among the party faithful. During the meeting, Biden and Harris each delivered pre-recorded video messages to DNC members. And Harris’ appearance drew louder cheers than Biden’s,” the article continues, seemingly hinting that Harris is positioning herself to lead the party just as Trump did the GOP for the entire time Biden was in office (the difference of course being that Harris isn’t going to act like she’s still the rightful president and get indicted six times).

All this time, they kept the water from the people of California … https://t.co/I7MzrvNM4n

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 1, 2025

In the real world the Los Angeles Times reports that the release of water from the two reservoirs by the Army Corps of Engineers nearly flooded a shit ton of farmland, will end up flowing nowhere near Los Angeles since it can’t go over fucking mountain ranges, and – according to Congressman Ted Lieu – could jeopardize crops by depleting reservoirs needed for the summer.

Oh and the Palisades and Eaton Fires were, as of Friday, 100 percent contained, finally. So three weeks after the hydrants ran out in a situation that had completely overwhelmed the system and nothing short of an act of God would have been able to stop the flames from consuming everything in their path, the water infrastructure that does not lead to those hydrants but national security-level important farmland highly susceptible to drought was opened up on the orders of a president who apparanely believes that gravity works in a north-south direction and that water from Central California would make it to Los Angeles. That $18 Big Mac meal in Connecticut though.

The Trump Regime is finalizing paperwork to revoke the parole of more than 530,000 migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti who arrived since 2021 and were permitted to live and work in the United States, CNN reports on more low-effort “mass deportation” programming.

They already have all the names and addresses of these people. It takes no actual work to track them down and round them up, unless they go into hiding elsewhere, which many surely will once the word gets out that they’re no longer permitted to be in the country. All of these people have been screen, vetted, vaccinated, and undoubtedly most of working age are legally employed.

So really it does nothing except make it look like Trump is removing “illegals” when the hard work of arresting the large number of them who were actually here legally who will disperse and go underground will take years and probably never actually be fully complete. It’s just making their lives harder, which is good enough for the dipshits who will defend it as another huge victory for Trump.

“It is so good to have the Venezuela Hostages back home and, very important to note, that Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the US, including gang members of Tren de Aragua. Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back. Furthermore, record numbers of criminals are being removed from our Country, and the Border numbers are the strongest they have been since the First Term of the Trump Administration!” the fat fuck posted on Truth Social just now, the absence of any actual numbers only helping to make the point here.

Lawmakers in the Dem-majority New York state Assembly are hammering out a bill that could give Governor Kathy Hochul more time to set dates for special elections, Gothamist reports on a move that would have the immediate consequence of cramping Jesus Dork House Speaker Mike Johnson’s already tiny majority by dragging out the vacancy in the state’s 21st District left by shrill monster Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s pending departure for the United Nations ambassadorship.

Under the current law, the governor must proclaim a special election within 10 days of a vacancy and the special must be held within 70 to 80 days after the proclamation. Stefanik advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations committee on Thursday, so assuming the final confirmation vote is this week it’d be early May when the R+9 district would send a different far right asshole to Congress. As soon as Monday however, that could change as New York Dems are looking at pushing it to at the earliest June or even November under a patina of making it more cost efficient.

A Hochul spokesperson told Gothamist the gov “believes it’s critical to increase voter turnout and reduce the cost of election administration and she would support legislation that achieves that goal.”

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis meanwhile set the special elections to replace National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and non-Attorney General Matt Gaetz for April 1st. When Dem Congressman Alcee Hastings died on April 6, 2021 DeSantis set the special in the D+25 district for January 18, 2022.

In yet another corporate capitulation to MAGA, fast food giant McDonald’s on Friday agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by some obsessed right wing activist cock knob against its Latino student scholarship program, removing the requirement that applicants had been born to at least one parent of Hispanic heritage and opening it up to all who can “demonstrate their impact and contribution to the Hispanic and Latino community through their activities and leadership,” Reuters reports.

American Alliance for Equal Rights, led by anti-DEI wiener Edward Blum, informed a Nashville federal judge on Friday they had agreed to withdraw from the case after the McSettlement. “It is a shame that over many years thousands of students were shut out of this program because they were not the preferred ethnicity,” said Blum, deploying the circular logic that remedies to the discriminatory conditions of the past are somehow in and of themselves discriminatory to Caucasians.

McDonald’s in a statement said it disagreed with the merits but “reached the conclusion that settling this lawsuit and evolving the program is the right thing to do for its recipients.” Whatever.

The seminally concert documentary classic The Last Waltz could not be ignored as long as there are still some halfway decent non-R-rated movies worth propagating from YouTube.

Let me go in a straight line here about the husband of Venezuelan ICE detainee Vianes (?) Ramirez: On Monday I wrote an article headlined “Please, man – let’s work something out, let me keep my wife here” about the unnamed Miami, Florida man’s cries for an audience with convicted felon President Trump. In it I speculated that, given his choice of words, the man very, very likely voted for the fat fuck. One would think a Harris voter – or even a guy who didn’t vote at all – would be absolutely disconsolate and furious over losing their partner to the whims of a white nationalist tyrant. Instead he sounded far more like he has been betrayed by a personal friend he trusted.

As some of you may have noticed, I link a lot of stories from Yahoo and AOL News’s feeds from national and local outlets – the two sites are a great resource for collating stories from all over the place and load fast as they’re typically free of extraneous bullshit and autoplay videos. Which is why I was unaware that the man’s quotes that I had copied and pasted from the AOL repost of CBS Miami’s article had been captured in the above video until more than a day after I printed the story.

Trump FCC Reichsminister Brendan Carr on Friday ordered CBS to hand over the transcript and footage from former Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with 60 Minutes, the Los Angeles Times reports. Guess Paramount isn’t settling their $10 billion “election interference” lawsuit convicted felon President Trump filed against them fast enough. Keep in mind Trump was too chickenshit to do this interview, plus the CNN town hall, plus a second debate, the fat pussy avoiding all possible contact with non-MAGA media in that last month a big ingredient to his win.

Keeping with the promised “surgical” retaliation against US tariffs on Canadian exports, former Finance Minister and candidate for the Premiership Chrystia Freeland tells the Canadian Press that Mapleland should target Teslas and American alcohol at 100 percent as part of its tariff retaliation package when convicted felon President Trump’s levies go into effect on Saturday.

Freeland also said she wants to be sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pain as well.

Asked how he’s supposed to square his campaign promises of lowering prices with raising them by imposing tariffs on a whole shit ton of products they buy every day, convicted felon President Trump on Friday told a reporter that “Tariffs don’t cause inflation. Tariffs cause success. There could some temporary short term disruption. And people understand that,” almost as if he didn’t just win pretty much solely because enough people did not, in fact, understand that inflation was not Joe Biden’s fault. And now he’s going to raise prices on them deliberately by 10 and 25 percent.

Walking heart attack West Virginia Senator Jim Justice, who may or may not live to the end of his current term, tells Axios that people are overreacting to the coming consequences for convicted felon President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, saying “Everybody runs through the streets saying, ‘The sky is falling! The sky is falling!’ but it doesn’t fall.”

“Well yeah, no shit the sky isn’t going to fall, you sooty fuck, so how about you explain why Americans should be cool with paying 10 percent more on toys, electronics, batteries, clothes, furniture, and a whole bunch of other shit as well as 25 percent more on everything that comes from Canada and Mexico?” the Axios reporter probably did not say. The response was likely much closer to “Ahaha! Good one Senator, we’ll print that! Here, I got you a Danish. It’s cherry with a lot of that sticky sugary stuff drizzled on, just as you like it. Thank you so much for the quote!”

“The purge is bigger than first understood, we are told, and includes more than 20 heads of FBI field offices, including the ones in Miami and Washington, DC,” tweeted NBC News’s Ken Dillanian on Friday following up a previous report on top FBI leaders promoted by now-former Director Chris Wray being ordered to resign/retire or face demotion and reassignment to the parking garage.

Oh and nobody cares if you don’t get the headline. You should watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith instead of complaining that it’s so inscrutable and weird for a story about an FBI purge.

Federal prosecutors based at the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville have withdrawn from a legal dispute over evidence seized in an August 2024 FBI raid on MAGA Congressman Andy Ogles’s home and office, in what WTVF reports is a strong indicator that the shitbag’s dead-end effort to allow his Orange Allah to run for a third term has paid off and the second Trump Reich’s Justice Department will drop the investigation into some scam where Ogles loaned his campaign $320,000 of money that he didn’t have in an apparent attempt to look stronger in his 2022 primary.

Pretty fucked up to say the least and in a way considerably more fucked up even than pardoning all of the Capitol rioters. At least a lot of those pieces of shit still had to go through the wringer. It’s also not like saying “Can you imagine if Joe Biden did this before Gold Bars Bob Menendez went on trial?” is going to give any pause to Trump’s ballsucking cultists, but it’s still impossible to ignore.

Of course the equivocation is going to be that Biden pardoned Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, and so on before he left office to help them escape “justice” but the rejoinder to that is Trump should just pardon Ogles if he wants him to avoid getting prosecuted. At least bring it to that level.

Crushed with grief over the loss of his son in the horrific collision with a commercial jetliner over the Potomac on Wednesday night, Georgia man Gary O’Hara tells CBS News that any attempt to blame the crash on “DEI” is only adding to his family’s grief, adding that no one in the Army lands a spot on a Blackhawk without being qualified. “You have to earn your spot to be moved into the ladder to be put into that helicopter. They don’t just give it to you. You earn it,” O’Hara said just two days after the death of his son Ryan, crew chief of the Blackhawk that collided with American Eagle Flight 5342.

“And you know, all of those soldiers that protect us, they earn their stripes every single day,” adding that the scene of the recovery was “very touching,” seeing “the other soldiers saluting as they take him out with a draped flag over it, but to sit there and think that that’s my little boy – it’s crushing.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 200 points immediately after White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt confirmed to reporters that starting Saturday the Trump Regime will indeed be imposing a 25 percent tariff on all important from Mexico and Canada as well as a 10 percent tariff on everything coming from China, CNBC reports on something something Soros.

You heard it ladies and gents, Saturday is tariff day! Mexico and Canada is 25 percent tariffs, China is only 10 percent because Trump is so tough on the commies! MAGA! Winning!

“When you’re flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer,” Leavitt also told reporters in response to a question about the new DEI shitshow.
