Convicted felon President Trump is, as of this typing, 55 minutes late for starting what’s supposed to be a super important 11:00 AM cabinet meeting with all of his minions in front of reporters.

“Today, the strategic incoherence of underfunding our military and restricting lethal assistance to partners like Ukraine is measured in the avoidable erosion of American credibility with allies and the mounting deaths of innocents. I’m glad that President Trump wants to resume deliveries of lethal capabilities to Ukraine. America’s policy of providing lethal support to Ukraine began during his first term, and likely helped deter earlier Russian escalation. This time, the President will need to reject calls from the isolationists and restrainers within his Administration to limit these deliveries to defensive weapons. And he should disregard those at DoD who invoke munitions shortages to block aid while refusing to invest seriously in expanding munitions production. The self-indulgent policymaking of restrainers – from Ukraine to AUKUS – has so often required the President to clean up his staff’s messes. And the budget OMB sent to Congress does not put America on a path to peace through strength,” said Cocaine Mitch (can’t really call him “Moscow Mitch” in this context) in a statement Tuesday, cheering the Orange Toddler’s independence from the Kremlin.

“Ten individuals have been charged for their roles in the shooting of an Alvarado police officer at the Prairieland Detention Center. Today’s announcement was made by Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy E Larson, Special Agent in Charge of the Dallas FBI R Joseph Rothrock, and Enforcement Removal Operations Dallas Acting Field Office Director Joshua Johnson.”

“According to a criminal complaint filed today, the defendants, dressed in black military-style clothing, began shooting fireworks at the facility, as part of an organized attack. After approximately 10 minutes of convening, one or two individuals broke off from the main group and began to spray graffiti on vehicles and a guard structure in the parking lot at the facility. An Alvarado police officer responded to the scene after correctional officers called 911 to report suspicious activity.”

“When the Alvarado police officer arrived, one alleged defendant positioned in nearby woods shot the officer in the neck area. Another alleged assailant across the street fired 20 to 30 rounds at unarmed correctional officers who had stepped outside the facility. As alleged in the complaint, AR-style rifles were found at the scene. The assailants fled from the detention center but were stopped by additional law enforcement officers. Some defendants were wearing body armor, some were armed, and some had two-way radios. A total of twelve sets of body armor were found during searches of vehicles associated with the defendants, on their persons, and in the area around the Prairieland Detention Center. Additionally, officers found spray paint, flyers stating, ‘FIGHT ICE TERROR WITH CLASS WAR!’ and ‘FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS,’ and a flag stating, ‘RESIST FACISM – FIGHT OLIGARCHY.’ One of the alleged attackers had cell phones inside a ‘Faraday bag,’ used to block phone signals and commonly used by criminal actors to try to prevent law enforcement from tracking their location,” says a Justice Department press release.

“As per letters sent to various countries yesterday, in addition to letters that will be sent today, tomorrow, and for the next short period of time, TARIFFS WILL START BEING PAID ON AUGUST 1, 2025. There has been no change to this date, and there will be no change. In other words, all money will be due and payable starting AUGUST 1, 2025 – No extensions will be granted. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, leaving himself more than three weeks to TACO once again and create more uncertainty.

Never mind that this dipshit is lying about the crime stats on New York City’s subway system by coming up with a percentage based on the absolute increase that doesn’t account for overall growing ridership. That’s priced in with the MAGA Reich’s fanbase who want to feel like it’s true.

Instead look at it from the perspective of his fat boss, convicted felon President Trump saying “My parents would drop me off at a subway, and I’d go to Union Turnpike, or I’d go to wherever I – they had no fear that I was going to be disappearing. They would take me to a subway, put me on, and say, ‘Bye darling. Bye.’ If you do that today, you have about a 75 percent chance that you’ll never see your child again” during his Long Island rally last year. Or the Bronx rally in May when Trump told the crowd “There’s a 53 percent increase in felony assaults on your subways, 53 percent. That’s in a short period of time. Since 2019, murders are up more than 20 percent, shootings are up more than 30 percent,” and if the implication wasn’t obvious enough he then said “Together, we are going to make New York City great again, and simultaneously, we are going to make America great again. I’ve come tonight to talk about solving problems. The simple fact is Joe Biden is not getting the job done for the Bronx, not getting the job done for New York, and he’s not getting the job done for America.”

And this morning the former MTV’s Real World cast member-turned-Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy whined about “stupid liberals with stupid policies that impact the lives of New Yorkers.”

In a press release headlined “Little Caesars Cements Its Status as Value Leader with First-Ever ‘More for $9.99’ Menu,” the Michigan-based fat food pizza chain on Monday asserted itself as constant as the northern star of resting quality and Pretzel Crust Pizza with a Crazy Combo that includes Crazy Bread and Crazy Sauce. There is no fellow in the firmament of Crazy Puffs Party Pack with twelve Pepperoni or Cheese Crazy Puffs, or a combination of both flavors. The dark fields are painted with unnumbered sparks of glowing signs of “Pizza Hut,” “Dominos,” and “Papa Johns.” They are all fire and every one doth shine, but there’s but one in all doth hold his place bearing a Crazy Puffs Party Pack with twelve Pepperoni or Cheese Crazy Puffs, or a combination of both flavors.

“As the value leader in pizza, we don’t follow trends – we set them. Our new $9.99 menu is a bold move that delivers unbeatable variety and flavor at a price that speaks for itself. Our customers expect more from Little Caesars, and this menu proves we’re ready to bring it – again,” said Little Caesars Chief Marketing Officer Greg Hamilton, unshaked of motion from without, firm within.

The Trump Regime IRS on Monday rescinded the threat of rescinding tax-exempt status for houses of worship, the New York Times reports on the official sanctioning of a proscription that had never really been enforced in practice but obviously is a green light to MAGAchurches.

The prohibition, which still applies to other non-profits, was ended in a settlement between the IRS and a set of plaintiffs including two Texas churches and a group of Christian radio broadcasters. In a joint filing the agency and the proselytizing peckerwoods declared endorsements to be more like “a family discussion concerning candidates” than a violation of secular constitutional principles. “Thus, communications from a house of worship to its congregation in connection with religious services through its usual channels of communication on matters of faith do not run afoul of the Johnson Amendment as properly interpreted,” the settlement of the rigged lawsuit continued.

Rural podunk Chester, Wisconsin is now without a town chairman or an animal control officer sooner than they had expected as Richard Van Buren, who served in both capacities, died Wednesday of complications from surgery weeks after he was charged with using a leash to strangle a golden retriever a woman had turned over to him after finding the dog on a walking path, WBAY reports .

The 55 year-old Van Buren had been charged with felony mistreatment of animals/cause death after, per a complaint obtained by WKOW, the dog bit the rural politician as he tried to put her in a kennel, sending him into a rage in which he pretty much hanged her with the leash and collar.

Hours of attempts to ascertain Van Buren’s politics were unsuccessful and the chairmanship post he held is officially non-partisan. On the same token, he sure as shit did not look like a leftist and a search of donors with the same surname in the area shows an extensive history of supporting Republicans, especially notorious piece of shit former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.

Not exactly important but still funny from WBAY’s article: “Due to Van Buren’s death, it’s likely the case will be dismissed, as that is usually the course of action in these circumstances, according to the district attorney’s office.” Why is it just “likely” and what would the second-most usual course of action be when a criminal defendant dies before trial? How else could this shake out?

The tragedy in Texas could have been avoided if both sides stopped playing politics and better prepared our communities for extreme weather disasters. I examine how the political discourse has become a "virus."

A State Department cable obtained by the Washington Post reveals that a fake Secretary of State Marco Rubio is out there impersonating him using an AI-generated voice and a Signal account with a display name of “Marco.Rubio@state.gov” to contact “at least five non-Department individuals, including three foreign ministers, a US governor, and a US member of Congress,” per the cable.

Whoa, this could be devastating for a presidential campaign just as it was for another former senator-turned-Secretary of State who was accused of being lax with operational security.

The death toll in the cataclysmic flooding in Texas over the weekend continued its grim climb as it now stands at 104 with the discovery of new victims in the muddy riverbanks, the AP reports.

BREAKING: ESPN commentator Stephen A Smith’s agent on Monday said Smith will not be running for president in 2028, completely upending the America Party primary field, AF Post reports.

Convicted felon President Trump’s stormtroopers just marched around an empty park in Los Angeles on Monday, the AP reports on the scene shitty right wing outlet The Blaze was triumphal about.

Sur-fucking-prise: The Daily Beast reports, with confirmed photos of the podcaster outside the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, that Texas Senator Ted Cruz was in the ancient Mediterranean country on July 4th during cataclysmic flooding that has killed at least 90 of his constituents.

Now in an effort to be fair, this is not the same sin as fleeing to Cancun when the February 2021 cold snap/ice storm was already underway. It’s not like he knew it was coming or was even supposed to and he’s self-aware enough of his history to fly back apparently as soon as he could to do what he should have been doing in 2021*, even if it’s just media appearances. It’s just a bad look that an alleged “patriot” is not in Texas but in fucking Greece on America’s independence day.

(You can go back and forth all you want about what Ted Cruz’s power is in a disaster affecting his state, but the truth is he’s not the governor and has no immediate powers or responsibilities. The 2021 debacle was just a display of his level of willingness to suffer alongside voters – which was zero – rather than anything that would have had any meaningful difference on that suffering)

At least three people were hospitalized – one an octogenarian who had to be resuscitated from cardiac arrest – and dozens more were stung a bunch of times after a swarm of bees suddenly erupted from a rooftop apiary in the town of Aurillac in France on Sunday, EuroNews reports.

The fuckers were believed be driven into a frenzy by the presence of a hive of Asian murder hornets nearby, but the article does not indicate whether that hive exists or has been located.

A Texas South Carolina Bloomington, Indiana man was utterly stunned and left breathless by an incredible, dazzling post-4th of July fireworks display early Monday on Thursday Saturday night, KSAT San Antonio WPDE in Florence, South Carolina the Indianapolis Star reports.

Pablo Ruiz, 43 Allen Ray McGrew, 41 Tyler Pinkley, 23 was [probably] drinking heavily and lighting off fireworks with friends when he decided to make things even more exciting by placing a lit mortar upright on his head… and yeah Ruiz McGrew Pinkley was pronounced dead at the scene by cops.

This article originally appeared on National Zero under the headline “Texas man absolutely blown away by amazing fireworks display” on July 6, 2022, and then reprinted on July 6, 2024 with minor edits to adjust for differing details as “South Carolina man blown away by amazing fireworks display.” Per the Star, Pinkley’s friends tried to stop him but he claimed he’d done it before.

A Colorado federal judge on Monday fined two of mustachioed pillow man Mike Lindell’s lawyers for using AI to draft or complete a pretrial motion in the case and included “thirty defective citations” in the filing, CBS’s Scott MacFarlane reports without naming the price the two dumbasses paid.

Full-time podcaster and part time federal legislator Ted Cruz on Monday responded to a reporter’s pretty general question about what could have been done in terms of a warning system that could’ve prevented more than 80 people – dozens of young girls among them – from drowning during a catastrophic flash flood with a monologue about how “people immediately say, ‘the hurricane was Donald Trump’s fault.’ I think most normal Americans know that’s ridiculous,” which says maybe more than he intended about where his head’s at in the wake of this tragedy.

Toward the end of this clip – and it isn’t 100 percent clear what the question is given the audio, but it seems likely that another reporter was not asking about weather control conspiracy shit and yet Cruz said “To the best of my knowledge, there is zero evidence of anything related to anything like weather modification. Look, the internet can be a strange place,” and blah blah blah.

In a draft of a notice to the federal register obtained by CBS Miami, dog-murdering Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem will this month announce she’s “terminating the designation of Honduras for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The designation of Honduras is set to expire on July 5, 2025. After reviewing country conditions and consulting with appropriate US Government agencies, the Secretary has determined that conditions in Honduras no longer support its designation for TPS. The Secretary, therefore, is terminating the TPS designation of Honduras as required by statute.” Per CBS Miami, about 72,000 Honduran and 4,000 Nicaraguan refugees who have lived and worked in the US, many of them since 1999, are fucked.
