“As gas prices climb amid the conflict with Iran, some of President Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters say they’re willing to pay more at the pump if it means keeping Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon — even with the midterm elections just two weeks away,” Fox News reports, excitedly notifying readers that they were able to find “some” Trump rally attendees whom would willingly suborn their personal comfort to combat the theoretical threat of an Iranian nuclear attack.

“If you’re really a good American, you’ll be thinking not for yourself or how much you’re spending for gas. But what life is going to be like for your children, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” one unnamed voter told Fox on Tuesday evening outside of the Trump-headlined rally for former RNC chair Mike Whatley’s Senate bid against Dem former Governor Roy Cooper. “What will they grow up to? You have to keep those people in the political regime in Iran without a nuclear weapon. If we don’t do something now, isn’t that worth paying another dollar a gallon?” the voter continued, the confusing double-negative rhetorical question clearly meant to be profound.

Two years ago this month Congressman Jim Jordan cited the increasing price of Halloween candy as a reason to return to power the president who had incited a deadly insurrection.

Well this sure was something. Asked by a reporter in Ohio on Wednesday whether he agreed with the very, very vehement Ohio GOP objections to Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad starring Dem gubernatorial race opponent Dr Amy Acton’s mom Donna Arthur, in which Arthur claimed that Acton lied about the childhood abuse she suffered, Vice President Couchbeard chose door numero dos and instead all but told those Republicans to shut the fuck up and stop complaining.

Note that they weren’t complaining on moral grounds so much as the very real danger that the well-documented reality of Acton’s awful childhood sexual abuse by her stepfather and Ramaswamy’s deliberate choice to try to exploit it as a vulnerability could percolate to lower-info voters and not just doom Da Vek (who likely was doomed even without this EXTREMELY unforced error) but the more nationally consequential Senate seat occupied by toned ass of Jon Husted, not to mention other GOP Buckeyes. Nevertheless, Vance was not having that completely justified pants-pissing.

At all.

“Well, I’ll be honest with you. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern. What is my concern is who is gonna govern… Who is gonna win, the Senate race in the State of Ohio… I have to admit I’m a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisment than they are about what the Democrats want to do to the United States,” Vance said, before claiming Acton is unfit to serve as the governor of his home state.

Convicted felon President Trump’s historic presidencies have hit a new record as a new national CNN survey finds his job approval rating at an all-time low of 32 percent while Dems lead the GOP by 10 percent on the generic congressional ballot, a 13 percent swing from 2024.

Compare that to their final polling before the 2018 election: Trump’s approval was at 39 percent and strong approval was at 30. Now he’s at 17 percent strong approval. In October 2018 69 percent of respondents called the economy good, that’s down to 26 percent.

Following Politico’s Tuesday printing of an article headlined “Democrats have a message for Elon Musk: Watch out,” its content obvious enough if you know the context, some douchebag DOGE-adjacent Twitter user going by @beffjezos posted “How is this acceptable or legal? Retaliation for political speech should be prohibited by law,” which Musk himself promptly retweeted rather than make the same complaint himself. Musk is perfectly welcome to make the argument that future congressional subpoenas of him and his minions will be retaliatory and surely given his army of lawyers he will put as much friction up as he can as is his right as an American citizen.

Still kind of a weenie move to retweet someone else rather than just come out and say it, but it’s also completely in character for the Afrikaner sociopath. The outsourced plaintive whining will hopefully look that much sweeter in retrospect in the more-likely-than-not event that the hundreds of millions he dumped on Picasso-face Ken Paxton’s Senate bid will have went to waste. And then James Talarico leads the charge on an investigation into all the third world toddlers who starved to death because Musk deemed them unworthy of nutritional aid packets funded by the taxes he doesn’t pay.

Don’t let his brown skin and tech bro vigor fool you, Vivek Ramaswamy is pure MAGA and this week’s saga over an ad starring Dem rival Amy Acton’s mom might be one of the MAGA-est stories of this perilous final stretch of the election year. To recap, Acton’s mom, Donna Arthur, ripped her daughter with claims that Amy “lies about her past” struggles with homelessness and a troubled youth.

Except, well… Amy hasn’t seen Donna since 1978 when her stepfather was indicted by a grand jury for sexually abusing a then-12 year-old Amy. Donna just abandoned her and fled to parts unknown with her husband. Then Acton grew up, became a doctor, a high-ranking public health official, and now is polling ahead of Da Vek. So he swung for the fences with the ad and per Axios is now swinging harder by pumping $4 million into it because it “tested well with ‘persuadable’ voters.”

Convicted felon President Trump has privately talked about completely evicting the White House Press Corps from the building, demolishing the James S Brady Press Briefing Room, and building an indoor swimming pool on the site, the New York Times reports, citing sources with knowledge of one of his last meetings with Krazy Karoline Leavitt. “Trump has told aides he would prefer to bring back the indoor pool President Franklin D Roosevelt added in 1933 as therapy for his polio-afflicted legs; President Richard Nixon later covered it over to make room for the news media,” the Times writes.

Holy shit is that why they call it a “press pool”? THAT’s where the term came from?!?

“Four points separate Brown (48 percent) and Husted (44 percent), among Ohio likely voters, in the US Senate race in Ohio. Among independents who say they are likely to vote, Brown (50 percent) has a 15-point advantage against Husted (35 percent). Half of Ohio likely voters (50 percent) think Brown will actually win the Senate seat, not Husted (45 percent). In the race for governor, Acton (50 percent) leads Ramaswamy (43 percent) by seven points among Ohio likely voters. Among independents, 53 percent support Acton to 34 percent for Ramaswamy. However, nearly half of Ohio likely voters (49 percent) think Ramaswamy will win the election, not Acton (45 percent),” says the findings from the newest, and probably final, survey of Buckeyes from NPR/PBS/Marist college.

Convicted felon President Trump has been heckled and interrupted no fewer than five times in the less than 10 minutes since he started his stupid rambling in battleground Kansas. There’s a Wizard of Oz joke somewhere in there, except Oz is real and he’s a dipshit doctor-turned-MAGA technocrat.

“To the Great People of Israel: Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51 year old chant, ‘Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan.’ What Country can survive when things such as this are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always end up being true? It would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect, but they have been systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job. If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday. Probably an empty threat.

Or maybe an expression of fear of whatever kind of kompromat “Bibi” has on Donald.

“Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself. Despite all of that, he has endured and, in fact, he has thrived! I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times. Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure – But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today. This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much. Please let this Letter serve to represent my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Israel. BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump continued.

While not a 1:1 because plenty of registered Democrats vote MAGA and to a smaller degree lots of registered Republicans vote for D candidates every election – among whatever other circumstantial caveats you want to throw in – the early vote numbers coming out of Iowa and North Carolina are still worth noticing. Per CNN, registered Dems outvoted registered Republicans by nearly 28 points Thursday, improving from just a 2-point edge on the first day of early voting in 2024.

Republican first-day early voter turnout is down friggin 68 percent from 2024, while Dems and indies are down just 27 and 36 percent respectively. Obviously all sets are going to drop off from a presidential year to a midterm year, so it would’ve been more helpful if CNN had also compared it to 2018 and 2022 first day early voting turnout, but they could do worse (a lot worse) and it’s still impressive to see that GOP voters were well under half as likely to show up on Day One as Ds.

Less impressive but still light years from discouraging is Dem performance in Iowa: 23 +D over Republicans, up from just +3 in 2024, turnout dropoff at 15 and 48 percent respectively. Tar Heel former Gov Roy Cooper is virtually a lock to flip the seat held by retiring loser Thom Tillis while Iowa Dem Josh Turek is a longer shot to beat MAGA Congresswoman Ashley Hinson in the fight for the seat held by retiring loser Joni Ernst. One wonders how the race would’ve looked had Ernst stayed.

Normally a clip this short wouldn’t merit a rip here but it’s funny how Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, currently fighting for her political life in an unexpectedly close race with Dem state lawmaker Josh Turek, almost sorta catches herself taking her pitch about expenses where it shouldn’t go: gas prices. Specifically those wrought by the war she repeatedly voted against ending. Damn good clip.

HUGE NEWS for oil companies! Profits are SURGING along with the price of a barrel of black gold, hitting $109 a barrel on Friday, per CNBC’s tracker. Highest price since May!

Standing like a centaur in front of reporters outside the White House on Friday, convicted felon President Trump on Friday responded to a question about whether new Press Secretary Kate Zacharia has any chance of ever holding another briefing and it doesn’t sound good.

“Katie has been treated very badly by the media. Very very badly. Very unfair. I just asked her, is this for you? And she’s a nice person. I’m going to let her make that decision. Sean Hannity was a little bit tough. Katie is off to a start that, the news has been so nasty to her. I told her, ‘Honestly, if I were you, I would reconsider.’ Maybe it’s not for her,” said Trump, not mentioning that by far the worst of the treatment “the media” was Sean Hannity. He treated her very badly on Thursday.

Fellow Foxer Peter Doocy just reported that the “lawyer” is in fact being shifted to another role.

Self-professed statutory rapist and occasional musician Robert James “Kid Rock” Ritchie on Friday made clear he was fed up with the existence of Democratic Michigan US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, with Ritchie decrying the naturally-born US citizen and Columbia Medical School-educated epidemiologist as “assimilated” as much as soon-to-be-executed traitor Nidal Hassan and the 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four jetliners on September 11, 2001. “I know he looks assimilated… I would be very careful. Guess who else assimilated? The Fort Hood shooter. Guess who else assimilated? Pilots that flew airplanes into our World Trade Centers!” said Ritchie, a Northern Michigan native who now lives in Tennessee where he writes songs about his home region where they sang songs about Alabama, the track sampled from a song about London.

The outburst raises the important question of when will top Trump Administration public health official Mehmet Oz denounce Ritchie’s comments? Oz, who like El-Sayed is a Muslim physician but unlike the native Michigander, was born outside the US and even served in the Turkish military before being “assimilated” enough to star in a daytime broadcast TV talk show about “wellness.” By Ritchie’s own standards that would make Oz an even more dangerous threat to Americans than El-Sayed and yet, just like Ritchie, Oz is permitted to be in the same room as the President of the United States on a regular basis, standing close enough to stab him in the neck with a syringe full of fentanyl before Secret Service agents could even unholster their guns. Yet Oz would never imagine doing such a thing and to even suggest it is offensive to him and Muslim-Americans.

Does Kid Rock need to suggest it before Oz will say something about his bigotry?

You will not be shocked to learn that the Washington Post reports convicted felon President Trump’s first failed administration quietly investigated Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s immigration history in 2019 and found zero evidence of criminality involved, which of course led to this month’s raid on her home in DC. Why leave it alone when just a raid can be hyped as a “win” to dipshit MAGA voters?

Paolo Zampolli, the scumbag modeling agent and Jeffrey Epstein pal who introduced illegal immigrant Melania Knavs to future President Donald Trump in the late 1990s and was rewarded for the favor with a bullshit title of “special envoy” something something in the present Trump Regime, was fired on Thursday just hours after Politico printed emails alleging Zampolli had committed some unspecified acts of “insubordination” against his boss, Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau.

It’s not clear what Zampolli, who earlier this year leveraged his position to end a custody battle with the Brazilian mother of his teenage son by getting the likely statutory rape victim deported, did to piss off Landau – and by extension Trump if he got fired – and the only hint is that Landau had written “I am hereby ordering you – once again – to immediately stop all work on ANY issues not directly tied to cultural diplomacy, including every one of the issues you mentioned in your recent emails,” in a November 15th, 2025 email to the lecherous modeling agency hustler.

But it must’ve been pretty fucking bad if Trump is going to fire him. Definitely worse than Kim Guilfoyle bad considering he’s Donald’s actual friend and not a female ex-almost-daughter-in-law.

They’re going to be talking about this one for like, 12 hours. Easily. It was a BAD crashout.

“Sadly, and very stupidly, John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Best in the United States, to win the upcoming Midterm Election against a Radical Left Lunatic, James TalaFREAKO, who is the ANTITHESIS of Texas Values. John Cornyn who, after my Endorsement, lost the Primary to Ken by a very wide margin, and Karl Rove, who shouldn’t be allowed to spew his jealousy on FoxNews, should be ashamed of themselves. They are hurting Texas and, more importantly, hurting the United States of America! If Ken Paxton loses, it will be because of WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks like John Cornyn and Karl Rove, who have ineffectively opposed me for my entire political career. As your ALL TIME WINNER in the History of Texas, ‘Trump won 96 percent of the Counties in Texas, 242 of 254. Harris won only 12 counties (FoxNews),’ and by MILLIONS of Popular Votes, the Highest in the History of Texas, your favorite President (ME!) is asking all of those who supported Senator John Cornyn to UNITE, and immediately switch your support to Ken Paxton. He will be a Great Senator, just like he is a Great Attorney General. We cannot take a chance on having a FREAKO, sometimes referred to as James TalaFREAKO, as our man in Washington, DC, representing the magnificent people of the Great State of Texas!” posted the Great Leader, whose unmatched wisdom and prescience has gifted him with the unparalleled ability to preemptively blame someone else for his failures.
