Chinese corrections personnel on Monday removed a notorious inmate from death row just over two months after he killed 35 people in a vehicular attack on an outdoor fitness class, the BBC reports.

Fan Weiqiu, 62, had injured dozens more when he drove his car into the people exercising outside a stadium in the southern city of Zhuhai. The execution came on the same day that other asshole Xu Jiajin was canceled for murdering eight people with a knife at his college in the eastern city of Wuxi.

In Fan’s case, the scumbag had been upset over a divorce settlement with his wife while Xu freaked out over being denied a degree due to his shitty grades. Both were just two of 19 different mass violence sprees in China in 2024, with men driven to “take revenge on society” over their personal failures using knives and cars. In America we have candidates similarly situated people can vote for to get their “revenge.” And then when that doesn’t work they can buy an AR-15 and kill others too.

Convicted felon President Trump’s post “AI Infrastructure Week”-ceremony press conference is already shambolic as the fat fuck told reporters that it’s justified to pardon a rioter who hit a cop with a stun gun, claiming “murderers don’t even go to jail in this country,” and other such nonsense.

Convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday told Senate GOP leaders to consider allowing recess appointments for his shitbag nominees, knowing that Robert F Kennedy Jr, Tulsi Gabbard, Kash Patel, and – once again – Pete Hegseth face trouble in getting 50 votes, Politico reports.

On the Hegseth thing: Ex-sister-in-law Danielle Hegseth wrote in the affidavit that Pete’s second ex-wife Samantha had shared a code word with Danielle to alert her when Hegseth threatened her and texted it at least once in 2015 or 2016. She also wrote that in 2009, Hegseth was found drunk at a strip joint in downtown Minneapolis – wearing his military uniform while drunk and getting lap dances. He had to be dragged out of the club. And that he disparaged Latinos and said Christian people needed to have more babies than Muslims to avoid being overtaken, per USA Today.

In related news, Time on Tuesday reported that Iowa Senator Joni Ernst was threatened with a primary challenge if she failed to vote yes on Hegseth’s nomination. “How do I make it stop?” Ernst asked another Republican before she caved and publicly supported Petey Pee-Pants.

I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service.  Notwithstanding my criticisms of President Biden's national-security policies, he nonetheless made the decision to extend…

World-renowned Israeli actor and Yiddish vocalist Dudu (tee-hee-hee) Fisher will perform at the Chabad Jewish Center in Coral Springs, Florida at a service celebrating the congregation’s recent renovations and expansion, which includes a new sanctuary, commercial kitchen and youth lounge, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports on Dudu-mania hitting the Miami Metro area.

“I personally am a big fan of his Yiddish albums. One of my favorites is his rendition of ‘A Yiddishe Mamah,’ an absolutely powerful song that he sings with such intensity that it touches my heart each time,” said Chabad’s Rabbi Yankie (hee-hee-hee) Denburg, who yanked (hee-hee) Dudu in.

Tickets to the service will range from $36 to $54 for general admission and $100 for VIP.

Former Fox News host Pete Hegseth’s ex-sister-in-law on Tuesday sent an affidavit to Senate Armed Services Committee Dems alleging that the drunken white nationalist bro’s behavior made his second wife, Samantha Hegseth, fear for her safety during their marriage, NBC News reports.

Tanking Member Jack Reed said “the reports of Mr Hegseth’s history of alleged sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and public misconduct necessitate an exhaustive background investigation. I have been concerned that the background check process has been inadequate, and this sworn affidavit confirms that fact,” after receiving Danielle Hegseth’s affidavit in response to request for “instances of abuse, or threats of abuse, perpetrated against any other person” and “mistreatment of a spouse, former spouse, or other members of his family.” Petey Pee Pants has not responded yet.

Convicted felon President Trump will on Tuesday declare it’s AI Infrastructure Week with tech oligarchs SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son is expected at the White House along with Sam Altman of OpenAI and Larry Ellison of Oracle, CBS News reports, adding that the new $500 billion initiative is called “Stargate.” Be sure to print this article and laminate it so the survivors fighting the machines can piece together the clues to what happened in the before times.

“WHEREAS, an area oflow pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread.impactful winter weather to North Florida beginning Tuesday, January 21, 2025; and WHEREAS, Winter Storm Warnings have been issued for the western Florida Panhandle, with additional extensions eastward along the I-10 corridor this afternoon and evening; and WHEREAS, all modes of hazardous winter weather will be likely, including snow, sleet, and freezing rain;” and blah blah blah, says heels-wearing Governor Ron DeSantis’s Tuesday order declaring a state of emergency in Florida, emphasis added to a fictional body of water being mentioned prominently.

Former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley was denaturalized on Monday, no longer a citizen of the United States despite being born in the Palmetto State in 1972, as neither of her parents were American citizens at that time. Thus Haley is no longer a citizen of the United States.

Convicted felon President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship, titled “PROTECTING THE MEANING AND VALUE OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP” specified that Haley was no longer considered a citizen because, per the order, “Among the categories of individuals born in the United States and not subject to the jurisdiction thereof, the privilege of United States citizenship does not automatically extend to persons born in the United States: (1) when that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the United States and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth, or (2) when that person’s mother’s presence in the United States at the time of said person’s birth was lawful but temporary (such as, but not limited to, visiting the United States under the auspices of the Visa Waiver Program or visiting on a student, work, or tourist visa) and the father was not a United States citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of said person’s birth,” emphasis added to the part that applies to Haley.

Thus, along with former Vice President Kamala Harris and as many as tens of millions of other former US citizens, Nikki Haley has been denaturalized, although she should be able to become one after a lengthy process given her marriage to Michael Haley, who is (probably) still a natural-born citizen.

Painful as it is to listen to, this hearing for absolute barbarian Elise Stefanik’s quest to become UN Ambassador will likely produce some heated exchanges, thus making it a necessary evil.

“Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the US government to resettle in the US, including family members of active-duty US military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump’s order suspending US refugee programs, a US official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday. The group includes unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the US as well as Afghans at risk of Taliban retribution because they fought for the former US-backed Afghan government, said Shawn VanDiver, head of the #AfghanEvac coalition of US veterans and advocacy groups and the US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity,” says the lede to a Reuters report, copied verbatim to not mince words about what the fat bastard just did.

We were to understand that one of the most horrible things Biden did was to “abandon” such people in Afghanistan, dooming them to retribution by the Taliban. Guess that was a load of shit too.

A Trump-loving arsonist and his registered Republican wife were arrested in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles after they were spotted driving an old decommissioned fire engine inside the perimeter of the disaster zone on Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Oregonians Dustin Nehls, 31, whose Facebook posts make his Trump fandom unambiguous, and Jennifer Nehls, 44, Republican, were both dressed as firefighters when they pulled up to a National Guard checkpoint, claiming they were with a volunteer department somewhere in northern California. The troops waved them through, though an actual firefighter noticed something was off about the truck bearing decals saying “Roaring River Fire Department,” asking a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy also manning the checkpoint to investigate the suspicious couple.

Turns out Dustin did five years in the joint for arson after a series of fires he set at a golf course, a public park, and a water facility in the city of Woodburn (lol), about 30 miles south of Portland. The Roaring River Fire Department does not and never did exist, though the truck itself was obviously was the real thing before being decommissioned and auctioned off in the 1990s by a department somewhere in northern California. It’s unclear how the Nehls acquired it, but their intent was less mysterious as cops found tools that could be used for burglaries and shirts saying “Cal Fire.”

Also unclear is how long the two had already been in Los Angeles, though it’s known that Nehls passed himself off as a fireman to get a free room at a Holiday Inn Express for at least one night, meaning it’s possible he said “I’m not a real firefighter, but I did stay at a-” while being interrogated by sheriff’s deputies. The Los Angeles DA’s office expects to charge the Nehls on Tuesday.

I submitted my resignation last week…my 2 year term was already up 🤷‍♂️😅

I was honored to serve as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. My fellow council members – unpaid volunteers like me – were hardworking, talented people who inspired me… https://t.co/8U1l7IoYVp

“To build on the IRA, on October 14, 2022, President Biden issued Executive Order 14087, ‘Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans,’ to further address prescription drug affordability through the work of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (the Innovation Center). The Innovation Center tests innovative payment and service delivery models designed to reduce program expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care furnished to its beneficiaries,” said a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Studies description of Executive Order 14087 as it worked before being repealed by convicted felon President Trump’s Anti-Biden executive order on Monday. Suck it, senior citizens and poor people.

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, about two years into a 22 year sentence for seditious conspiracy over his fascist street gang’s plot for the January 6th, 2021 Capitol insurrection, has been told he’s being released from the joint, the Washington Post reports. The exact nature of his release – as in whether it’s a full pardon or commutation – is unclear but it’s a fairly obvious indicator that Trump is letting all the worst of the worst inmates out of Arkham Asylum.

The US Senate on Monday confirmed their former colleague Marco Rubio to US Secretary of State 99 to 0, the only non-vote being Rubio’s himself, CNN’s Manu Raju reports.

Billionaire Elon Musk gave what appeared to be a fascist salute Monday while making a speech at the post-inauguration celebration for President Donald Trump at the Capital One Arena.
