Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth on Tuesday celebrated America’s veterans by taking steps to create more of them with service in conflict, sending the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier to the Carribbean in anticipation of starting a patriotic war with Venezuela, the Washington Post reports.

Police in Germany on Tuesday announced they had cuffed a far right extremist – identified only as a 49 year-old Martin S – who had plotted to assassinate a dozen left and center politicians to accelerate a return to the good old days of 1933 to November 1942, Bloomberg reports.

“Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) is increasing support for families to help them further stretch their household budgets this holiday season. Starting this month, Target is lowering prices on 3,000 food, beverage and essential items to help consumers save on the products they rely on most. From pantry staples and baby items to household essentials, these price reductions are designed to make everyday shopping more affordable through the holiday season. And as families come together for Thanksgiving celebrations, Target’s Thanksgiving meal is back – now at its lowest price ever. Offering a complete holiday dinner for less than $5 per person, the meal features quality ingredients and trusted brands, helping consumers gather around the table without breaking the bank.”

“In addition to delivering everyday value, Target continues to extend its support beyond its shopping experience. Today, the company announced a $500,000 donation to Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization. This donation comes as food banks nationwide brace for increased demand this holiday season. Target’s support will help Feeding America’s network of 200 food banks and 60,000 partner agencies provide five million meals to families in need and deliver emergency food boxes and expanded services to households facing hunger,” says leftist big box retailer Target in what can only be seen as a “hostile act” against the Trump Administration.

A Salt Lake City local news site called Gephardt Daily have acquired the arrest affidavit against pardoned Capitol rioter John Banuelos and found that, although the warrant was issued in September 2025, the sexual assault and kidnapping charges against him date to a June 2018 incident for which DNA evidence collected was matched to the MAGA terrorist only this year.

Sick story short, Banuelos approached a woman at a TRAX light rail station and invited her to his house for a party, and when she arrived, “there was no furniture and no party. (She) said Banuelos began touching her legs, and she told him to stop.” Banuelos then made her smoke something, which caused her to go limp and defenseless, after which he sexually assaulted her repeatedly.

Following the DNA match a warrant was issued and Banuelos was cuffed in the Chicago area nine months into his newfound freedom from pretrial custody following convicted felon President Trump’s blanket amnesty for the January 6th insurrectionists. Banuelos had fired a gun into the air outside the Capitol during the MAGA mayhem, something which he was charged with in March 2024.

During that period Banuelos fatally stabbed a guy in Salt Lake City on July 4, 2021 but the DA dropped the case on a self-defense claim. Gephardt’s article also mentions that Banuelos has “failed to appear for hearings in cases related to domestic violence, interfering with an officer and disorderly conduct” and “also has an unresolved case in Salt Lake County based on a domestic violence assault allegation. Warrants also were issued in those cases,” this latest warrant says.

“White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked the president into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan,” says the lede to a Politico story that at no point simply draws the obvious conclusion that the President of the United States of America is a mental invalid who can be “sold a bill of goods” on something so patently fucking stupid.

Pulte “just sold POTUS a bill of goods that wasn’t necessarily accurate. He said ‘FDR did it, you can do it, it’s gonna be a big thing.’ But he didn’t tell him about all the unintended consequences,” a person “familiar with the situation granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking” told Politico, as though they were talking about their irresponsible younger half-brother who should not be letting their Alzheimer’s patient dad use the stove to make soup and not a supposed billionaire real estate developer who as such should have an encyclopedic knowledge of property finance instruments.

“Bad advice” is the excuse you use when a complex military special-ops mission to eliminate a dangerous terrorist goes wrong. Or some arcane public health policy revamp unintentionally ends up misdirecting a resource critical to other programs. Or an energy credit initiative creates a loophole that unscrupulous actors exploit to loot public coffers without making any meaningful investments in electrical grid infrastructure. Some experts have a tendency to overestimate their own expertise or simply lie and that can overwhelm the judgment of an otherwise competent and lucid leader.

That’s not what happened here. Trump’s a fucking idiot and one feeling pressured by his own failures to make good on his campaign of lies, so he said yes to the monumentally stupid idea of offering 50-year mortgages without actually considering the implications of it. And the Alzheimer patient’s daughter screaming at her dipshit brother for playing Xbox when he was supposed to be watching dad only goes so far as an analogy since she’s not in denial about the old man’s condition.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s hands looked godawful during a public appearance over the weekend, with his vein bulging and the skin thin and wrinkly, leading the Daily Beast to compare it to his sometimes best buddy in the White House’s makeup-caked right hand covering up God knows.

Whatever it is, hopefully it’s excruciatingly painful and emotionally devastating – for both of them.

In what just might be a not great sign for the GOP’s midterms outlook, Texas MAGA Congressman Jodey Arrington, chair of the powerful House Budget Committee on Tuesday told Fox News in a statement he will not be running for reelection in 2026, claiming he has “a firm conviction, much like our founders did, that public service is a lifetime commitment, but public office is and should be a temporary stint in stewardship, not a career” (eyeroll_and_jerkoff_hand_motion.gif goes here).

Last year Arrington – privately derided by other Republicans as a mental child – won reelection to his seat in Texas’s 19th District by 70 percent. The Dems didn’t even run a candidate against him, instead Arrington beat an independent and a Libertarian who combined for less than 20 percent of the vote. And no, the Trump-ordered gerrymander of the Lone Star State’s maps did not change that picture – because it’s literally the only district of the 38 whose borders were not redrawn.

Thus, barring any scandal like an active Grindr account or a hard drive with some child porn or both, it seems that Arrington is giving up his powerful post in what’s supposed to be another two years of a Republican trifecta under the belief that it won’t actually be a trifecta anymore come 2027 and would rather not have to sit there bitching powerlessly all day as the ranking member.

Arrington’s exit brings the House GOP’s pre-2026 attrition to 16. There were 19 Republicans in the chamber who had announced they were ghosting from their 2018 bids as of November 11, 2017.

Blued and Finka, China’s two most popular LGBTQ+ dating apps, were abruptly disappeared from both the Apple app store and the localized version of the Android platform on Tuesday, with Apple confirming that “Based on an order from the Cyberspace Administration of China, we have removed these two apps from the China storefront only. We follow the laws in the countries where we operate,” CNN reports without carrying any similar statement from Xinnie the Pooh’s commie regime.

There was none issued because the authoritarian state is unaccountable to its citizens. Same-sex relations were decriminalized in 1997 but that hasn’t stopped Xi’s goons from cracking down on Pride parades, erasing LGBTQ+ accounts from domestic social media apps like WeChat and Weibo.

If irony were not dead it’d be noting the Xi regime’s ties to global gay dating app Grindr, banned by Beijing in 2022, but still in business globally and almost definitely a crucial resource for blackmail on members of a certain political party in a certain rival country. Particularly its elected officials.

In a very late night ruling, Utah Third District Judge Dianna Gibson took her remand from the state Supreme Court’s recent ruling against Republicans in the legislature finding their congressional map unconstitutional and ordered one of the four US House seats be drawn to encompass Salt Lake City and thus end up a Dem +24 district, the Salt Lake Tribune reports on another L for MAGA.

After a nearly three year absence from the pages of National Zero, Montgomery County, Maryland Fire Department press officer Pete Piringer makes his return in another ridiculous story, this one from within his own ranks: A judge last week acquitted Captain Christopher Reilly of malicious destruction of property and disorderly conduct and also tossed the same charges against Firefighter Alan Barnes for their July 17th anti-baseball hate crime against an adjacent diamond, NBC4 reports.

Basically the firemen stationed there got sick of baseballs flying over the fence and inflicting damage on both the company’s equipment and their personal vehicles. Rather than using their axes to enact their revenge, the firemen decided to employ less-lethal methods at their disposal: Turning the firehoses on and just flooding the shit out of the field during a minor league team’s game.

“With the criminal case resolved, our internal administrative process will move forward,” Piringer said in a statement. “Duty status remains unchanged, non public contact, pending that review,” he added, which appears to mean that Barnes and Reilly have been ordered to stay away from the Takoma Thunderbolts. Them two had faced up to three years in prison for the damges they inflicted.

The CEO of Funko Pop, the company that flooded every freaking store in America with these little collectible dolls that depict Batman, Spider-man, Wolverine, Darth Vader, Cthulhu, late painter Bob Ross, Dr Frank N Furter from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and thousands of other cultural icons, warned investors last week that the company’s about a quarter billion in the hole, Kotaku reports on what Joe Biden would have been blamed for had he still been president at this point.

“I want to reiterate the sense of urgency and opportunity around our Make Culture Pop strategy, executing across the intersection of culture, creativity, and commerce,” Josh Simon, who just joined as CEO in September after five years at Netflix, said during the call. “In the short term, I’m looking to maintain the momentum [the chief financial officer] discussed,” Simon continued. It’s not clear if he’d seen the Q3 report – which said straight up that “here is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months” given the $241 million in loans coming due – before he took the job. Simon did hype the upcoming Stranger Things Season 5 Funko lineup to try to lighten the mood for investors troubled by the dire situation for the company.

Oh and these were like actual investors, not dipshits who have garages full of Guardians of the Galaxy Funko Pops still in their boxes they think will appreciate in value someday, eventually.

The fat bastard has already begun complaining about Marjorie Taylor Greene, albeit gently, without any real name-calling or viciousness. It’s still a form of discipline for “catering to the other side.” The president also asserted that “nobody knows what magnets are” and gas would be $2 a gallon soon.

A group of Senate Dems led by socialist Bernie Sanders this week are looking to figure out just how much goddamned electricity that AI server farms are eating up, the Wall Street Journal reports on the libs actually trying to do something about increasing electricity costs.

“The ‘Pay Back’ Numbers being quoted by the Radical Left Lunatics, who would love to see us lose on Tariffs because of how bad it would be for our Country, are much higher than those being stated by our Fake Opposition – Opposition mainly from Foreign Countries that would do anything to be allowed to charge us Tariffs without retribution. The actual Number we would have to pay back in Tariff Revenue and Investments would be in excess of $2 Trillion Dollars, and that, in itself, would be a National Security catastrophe. Those opposed to us in the United States Supreme Court are giving low Numbers so that the Court will think it is easy to get out of this terrible situation that these Anarchists and Thugs have put us into!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday.

Star Wars sequel trilogy actor Oscar Isaac tells GQ he’d be down for acting in future projects but for a small catch: “Right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great… if that happens, then yeah, I’d be open to having a conversation about a galaxy far away. Or any number of other things.”
