A really sharp team of CHOP surgeons separated a pair of conjoined twin boys in August after an eight-hour procedure, NBC Philadelphia reported Wednesday, citing a hospital announcement.

The boys, now 15 month-olds Amari and Javar Ruffin, were born joined at the abdomen, sharing a sternum, liver, and diaphragm, making the CHOP shop’s job not just relatively simple but more importantly ensuring the boys have the chance to grow up and live more or less as if they’d never been conjoined in the first place. “Seeing them each in their own beds was an indescribable feeling,” said mom Shaneka Ruffin. “It feels like we are beginning a new journey as a family of six. We are so grateful to CHOP for helping make this day possible and letting us start this next chapter.”

And CHOP stands for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, recognized as worldwide specialists in conjoined twins, having cho- separated 32 pairs since 1957, more than any other in North America.

DC Circuit Judge Tanya Chutkan on Thursday heard out convicted felon former President Trump’s shitbag lawyers’ request to “consider litigation options” to somehow stop her from unsealing a bunch of evidence against the fat fuck in the post-2020 election coup attempt case and allowed them a seven day stay to find a way to stop her from moving ahead on the unsealing.

It’s not clear what “litigation” Team Orange can actually make happen. But you never know with the Supreme Court being so far in the tank for the degenerate fascist slob these days.

Vice President Harris and former President Trump will not participate in a second presidential debate after the deadline to agree to CNN's debate terms expired. https://t.co/OShXMfj19T

“Aight Tha Hill, yo crew can play tha game. That ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene takes fire for sharing remarks about the weather‘ headline you used to describe that fucking freak telling people the Deep State is controlling hurricanes wuz pretty dope. But check it bruh: We wrote ‘Vice President Harris and former President Trump will not participate in a second presidential debate after the deadline to agree to CNN’s debate terms expired,’ in our headline when it was actually Prezident Trump who bitched outta dat debate. Them Libz be FREAKIN when they see that! BOTHSIIIIIIDE 4 LIFE DAWG!”

Maybe should’ve watched You Got Served and 8 Mile before writing this imaginary dialogue between Axios and The Hill just to bone up on dated “urban” movie shittalking. It’s aight tho.

“A New Jersey man pleaded guilty yesterday to a federal hate crime for breaking into the Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University (CILRU) in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and destroying property.”

“According to court documents, on or about April 10, at approximately 2:39 am, during the Eid- al-Fitr holiday, video surveillance footage showed Jacob Beacher, 24, walking toward the rear door of the CILRU. Soon after, at approximately 2:41 am, an intruder, later determined to be Beacher, forcibly entered the CILRU through its back door. Specifically, Beacher broke a glass pane on the door, pushed through a piece of plexiglass that was affixed to the interior side of the door and then manually opened the door from the inside by reaching through the broken glass to unlatch a deadbolt lock. Once inside the CILRU, Beacher damaged the CILRU’s property, including several religious artifacts, such as Turbah prayer stones and numerous items that contained holy language from the Qur’an, Islam’s sacred scripture. Beacher also stole a Palestinian flag and at least one charity box belonging to the CILRU,” says a Justice Department press release.

What is doesn’t say is that Beacher is a registered Republican. We got that from here.

Based on the bitchy wording of a filing from convicted felon former President Trump’s piece of shit lawyers, it would seem like a public unsealing of evidence against the fat fuck in the DC coup attempt conspiracy case is imminent and very soon, maybe even hours. From the filing:

Last week’s actual filing was a bit underwhelming (a lot of what the media treated as new was actually previously reported). The actual evidence exhibits themselves will absolutely pack more of a punch than Smith’s (necessarily) dry description of it… The other aspect of the filing that NOTUS’s Jose Pagliery flags is that “Donald Trump’s lawyers just warned Judge Chutkan in DC that if she releases Jack Smith’s appendix to his recent report, they’ll consider ‘litigation options.’ Like, suing the judge? Or Smith? Or seeking dismissal of the entire case based on that release? It’s notable that the judge had to order the court clerk to put this on the public docket. Trump’s lawyers were directed to file this under seal. It seems like they did. But the judge must have thought, there’s nothing secret here,” which sounds like he sees this as Team Orange going into desperation mode.

Two-peat Fat Bear Week winner Grazer sort of avenged the death of her cub, who was killed last summer by her finalist opponent, Chunk, besting the aggressive male by more than 40,000 votes, the Associated Press reports on a symbolic recompense for the loss of Grazer’s offspring.

The murder of Grazer’s cub… which might have been more like a mercy killing since it happened after the youngling had fallen off a waterfall, was unrelated to the murder of Bear 402 by 469 that postponed the beginning of the Katmai National Park’s annual Fat Bear Week contest.

An anonymous New York Republican campaign strategist tells Politico they would love for GOP candidates to be using NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ criminal indictments for bribery and other comically inept scams as part of a message to make all Democrats look corrupt and insane buuuuuuut… “Once you start getting to the charges against him and whether they disqualify him for office, the next logical question would be whether Trump should leave the race because of his charges.”

An anonymous House Dem campaign aide said yeah, no shit. The actual quote however was “If this was a winning message, then you’d see the swing-seat Republicans actually making this a thing. They’re not, because they know they’re all supporting a convicted felon for the presidency Republicans are on the ballot with Trump. Democrats aren’t on the ballot with Adams.”

Responding to convicted felon former President Trump unequivocally pussying out of a final debate against Vice President Kamala Harris on CNN or any other network ahead of their noon Thursday deadline to accept the invite for an October 23rd showdown in Atlanta, Brian Stelter reports his employer is now instead proposing the candidates appear at separate town halls on the same night, which the Harris campaign immediately accepted, unconditional on her degenerate opponent’s.

“We continue to believe the American people would benefit from hearing more from the two major candidates for President of the United States and so CNN has extended invitations to both Vice President Harris and President Trump’s campaigns to participate in separate CNN Town Halls on October 23,” said CNN in a statement, per Stelter. Earlier on Thursday the media beat guy had written in his daily newsletter that Harris’s town hall with Univision is set for this evening but Trump had postponed his until the 16th due to Hurricane Milton, meaning nobody should be surprised if and when the fat fuck comes up with some way to wiggle out of that appearance.

Officials in the Australian city of Cairns have determined that the employee of a charter flight company who was licensed in New Zealand but not in Australia took a joyride in a helicopter and was killed when he crashed it into the roof of a nearby hotel “was affected by a significant amount of alcohol” and flew “well below the 1,000 ft allowed for flight over a built-up area,” but they haven’t been able to determine why he stole the chopper at 1:30 AM on August 12th, 9News reports.

“For reasons unknown, pilot actions resulted in a collision with a building while conducting an unauthorised and unnecessary flight, while affected by alcohol, late at night and at low heights over a built-up area, and without night flying endorsements,” the Australian Transport Safety Bureau wrote in their report on Nautilus Aviation employee Blake Wilson’s little mishap that destroyed the top three floors of the Hilton DoubleTree in Cairns in the inferno that resulted, though luckily no one else was injured. More unclear than the “motive” is why the ATSB, who exhaustively detailed Wilson’s movements with friends at a number of bars prior to the crash as he was celebrating a job promotion, couldn’t just write “sometimes drunk dudes do stupid shit and get themselves killed.”

Former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shae Moss, the mother-daughter duo who won a $148 million federal defamation judgment against alcoholic shitbrain Rudy Giuliani over his lies about the two being secret agents in a plot to steal the 2020 election from convicted felon former President Trump, have reached a settlement in a Missouri court for a state defamation case brought against far right propaganda site The Gateway Pundit over the very same lies, the Guardian reports.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Here’s hoping they got more than a pound of flesh and a coming public apology from shitbag founder Jim Hoft, whose attempts to declare bankruptcy to shield his and his batfuck insane website’s assets failed in court earlier this year.

It is with our hearts full of love that we announce the passing of our amazing grandmother, Ethel Kennedy. She died this morning from complications related to a stroke suffered last week. Along with a lifetime's work in social justice and human rights, our mother leaves behind…

What? Was the headline in poor taste? Why do we have to be responsible and refrain from speculating baselessly here? Who says we can’t just operate with complete impunity? Plus she probably was vaccinated. If it’s okay for the other guys to bring it up apropos of nothing whenever somebody dies then it should be okay for National Zero to do the same. Okay?

A Center for Working-Class Politics (CWCP)/YouGov survey of Pennsylvania voters finds that convicted felon former President Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris 52.6 percent to 37.4 percent among respondents who reported having “experienced a job loss due to unfair firing” and among those with a “very or somewhat insecure job,” it’s Trump to 32.6 percent Harris, who leads the fat fuck overall in the registered voter sample 46.8 to 44.7 percent, per the Jacobin.

Surely there’s no through-line here with that July polling by the Survey Center for American life which found Trump at 56 support among divorced men. Can’t be any connection there.

Continuing his Truth Social tirade against CBS on Thursday morning, convicted felon former President Trump shitposted “60 Minutes is a major part of the News Organization of CBS, which has just created the Greatest Fraud in Broadcast History. CBS should lose its license, and it should be bid out to the Highest Bidder, as should all other Broadcast Licenses, because they are just as corrupt as CBS – and maybe even WORSE!” Not even sure what the fuck that last sentence was supposed to mean. CBS is just as corrupt as CBS? Or is he that goddamned stupid and addled he doesn’t know that “licensees” and “licenses” are two completely distinct words?

In a subsequent post the fat bastard wrote “With me, 60 Minutes does the exact opposite! They take everything I say, realize how totally BRILLIANT it is, and take it out. So, with Kamala they add, with ‘TRUMP,’ they delete,” as if he had sat for the interview with the news program and not bitched out. They had nothing to “delete” from his segment because it didn’t happen.

At least four people are dead and 3.2 million are without electricity after the Category 4 Hurricane Milton plowed across the central part of the state Wednesday, the Associated Press reports.

Republican Minnesota attorney Nate Hansen got really busy before launching his campaign for a seat on the bench in the state’s 10th Judicial District, having clicked “delete” over 100,000 times on his Twitter account to hide his propagation of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, shared a video of a transgender woman testifying in favor of Minnesota’s trans refuge bill, saying that it “should be used to support a civil commitment to a mental hospital for this poor man,” and mocked transgender female lawmaker Leigh Finke as “gross,” the Minnesota Reformer reports

And that’s before we get to his Facebook account, which he did not make private or delete posts variously calling an attempted 2009 airline bombing a “false flag attack,” claimed “Satanic people run our government,” said that “all property taxes are illegal under the Minnesota State Constitution,” called for the abolition of the Federal Reserve and the Central Intelligence Agency, and once said he found himself “consistently agreeing” with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Going to hazard the agreement with Louis Farrakhan was specific to the subject of Jews. Hansen has the endorsement of the notoriously fucked up and dysfunctional state GOP for the seat.

In a stunning win for Republicans who guarantee they will deport millions of migrants and raise tariffs dramatically in order to lower food and house costs for Americans weary of inflation, the monthly Consumer Price Index rose 2.4 percent year-over-year and 0.2 percent on a monthly basis, beating Dow Jones consensus expectations of 2.3 and 0.1 percent respectively, CNBC reports.

“A giant Fake News Scam by CBS & 60 Minutes. Her REAL ANSWER WAS CRAZY, OR DUMB, so they actually REPLACED it with another answer in order to save her or, at least, make her look better. A FAKE NEWS SCAM, which is totally illegal. TAKE AWAY THE CBS LICENSE. Election Interference. She is a Moron, and the Fake News Media wants to hide that fact. An UNPRECEDENTED SCANDAL!!! The Dems got them to do this and should be forced to concede the Election? WOW!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Thursday, losing his shit over a normal TV journalism practice.

“The fraud committed by 60 Minutes and CBS, together with the Democrat Party, is the single Biggest Scandal in Broadcast History!” continued the fat bastard in another post. Seems kind of hyperbolic considering those rigged 1950s game shows, Matt Lauer having a lock to his office that he controlled from a button under his desk so he could trap young female employees there, or that time when an NBC game show host bragged about sexually assaulting women but the tape of it didn’t become public until 11 years later. Those could qualify as bigger scandals at the networks.
