A House Republican tells Axios that convicted felon former President Trump’s pick of eyeliner-wearing Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate was ill-advised, saying “The road got a lot harder. He was the only pick that wasn’t the safe pick. And I think everyone has now realized that.”

Another said “On the whole, the feeling is: [Vance] doesn’t add much. And now with Kamala at the top, the capacity to have expanded the map a little bit… would have been much more beneficial.”

Axios also points out that “Vance is the least-liked non-incumbent VP nominee since at least 1980, and the first to register a net negative favorability rating, according to CNN data analyst Harry Enten,” and that he ran 20 points behind Gov Mike DeWine on the Ohio GOP ticket in 2022.

Two Russian and two Chinese bombers, apparently operating in coordination, were intercepted by NORAD fighter jets from the US and Canada as they approached US airspace in Alaska on Wednesday, CNN reports.  NORAD identified the Russian TU-95 Bear and Chinese H-6 bombers as they entered Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone, an area outside US airspace where US forces can redirect aircraft before they breach sovereign areas.

In response to the nuclear-armed game of “I’m not touching you,” NORAD deployed American F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, and Canadian CF-18 fighters.  Two things are unique:  it’s an unusual sighting of the Chinese craft that far north, which haven’t ventured into the Alaska ADIZ before.  It was also the first time the H-6 bombers were used on these types of incursion flights, giving US and Canadian forces their initial look at these renovated Soviet-era Tupolev Tu-16 twin-engine bombers.

As Death’s Uber continues to check house numbers on his street, 93-year-old Rupert Murdoch is attempting to change his will to ensure his right-leaning son Lachlan maintains control of the conservative media empire he created, the New York Times reports.  Murdoch’s efforts are being challenged in a Nevada probate court by his three other children, James, Elisabeth and Prudence, who all have more moderate political views.

The problem is, Rupert already essentially divided his estate up by establishing an irrevocable family trust almost a quarter century ago.  Rupert now wants to change the terms of the irrevocable trust to give Lachlan significantly more control over the media company, saying that should the company stray from its conservative voice, it would lose its audience and value, therefore harming the trust’s beneficiaries.

Despite calling the effort to change the trust “Project Harmony” hoping to avoid future conflict, Rupert’s underhanded attempt to wrest control away from his children while confirming his business model is to cater to conservative whims ultimately led to such a bad family rift, three of his children didn’t show up for his fifth wedding last month.

“Let me say at the outset,” human-weasel hybrid podcaster Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo) yips at the start of a promotional appearance on Fox to boost their copyrighted liberal panic, “Kamala can’t have my guns.  She can’t have my gasoline engine and she sure as hell can’t have my steaks and cheeseburgers.  She is a radical California leftist, and to be honest, she perfectly captures where today’s Democrat [sic] Party is.”

Yes, Ted–hey, guys, did you know Ted Cruz has a podcast?–the Democrat Party is in the White House today, in the leadership of the Senate, and in functional control of the House.  But the GOP is led by a rapist, a felon and a fraudster.

Minutes after the President addressed the nation, the First Lady of the United States, Dr. Jill Biden, posted a handwritten note to President Joe Biden’s supporters thanking them for their support and urging Joe’s faithful to wholeheartedly support his successor, Kamala Harris, in her presidential campaign.

Days after he announced on social media that he was halting his 2024 reelection bid and throwing the presidential race into momentary chaos, President Joe Biden will address the nation about his decision and the importance of keeping Donald Trump out of the Oval Office–stated in terms of voting to defend our democracy.  In the two days after he announced his withdrawal and his endorsement of his Vice President, Kamala Harris, forty thousand first-time voters registered to cast a ballot in the upcoming election.

A tourist spend last weekend in the hospital after sustaining third-degree burns on his bare feet when he walked on sand dunes in Death Valley when temperatures soared to 123º heat, according to the National Park Service.

CBS News reports the 42-year-old Belgian man wore flip-flops on Saturday while walking on Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes, an area of the park that doesn’t have any marked trails but allows visitors to wander.  While on his walk, one of his plastic shoes broke and he stepped on the hot sand, burning his foot.  His family carried him to a parking lot to get help.

Convicted felon former President Trump will on Wednesday hold his first MAGA rally since President Joe Biden ended his reelection bid and Vice President Kamala Harris became his presumptive Democratic opponent in November. Minutes ago the fat bastard primed himself up for the show by posting “The Gag Order unConstitutionally placed on me is interfering with my Campaign against Lyin’ Kamala Harris. This is a FIRST in American History – A Highly Conflicted Democrat Judge putting a Gag Order on the Leading Candidate for President to benefit my Democrat Opponent. Can this really be allowed to stand?” as if Harris has anything to do with the two gag orders against him.

Rupert Murdoch is in a “secret legal battle” against three of his kids “over the future of the family’s media empire, as he moves to preserve it as a conservative political force after his death,” because of course it had to be like this since it was the plot of that popular HBO series that was a thinly veiled roman-a-clef of the Murdoch family and Fox News, the New York Times reports.

Basically Rupert made a change last year to the family trust to solidify oldest son Lachlan’s control over the Fox and News Corporations’ vast network of TV channels, radio stations, and newspapers after the old man finally kicks it, cutting out the other kids. “Those three siblings – James, Elisabeth and Prudence – were caught completely off-guard by their father’s effort to rewrite what was supposed to be an inviolable trust and have united to stop him. Remarkably, the ensuing battle has been playing out entirely out of public view,” the Times writes about the intra-family war.

What the family lacks however is a grossly incompetent older half-brother running a stupid and pointless third party presidential bid. That role was outsourced to Robert F Kennedy Jr in real life.

Doing so in just a tweet rather than a full-blown Atlanta Journal-Constitution op-ed, Republican former Georgia Lt Governor Geoff Duncan on Wednesday endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, following up on his endorsement of the former Democratic presumptive presidential nominee.

“I’m committed to beating Donald Trump. The only vehicle left for me to do that with is the Democratic Party. If that requires me to vote for, speak for, or endorse @KamalaHarris then count me in! 🇺🇸” Duncan, who could easily still be the Lieutenant Governor, wrote in the tweet.

Yeah this is probably exactly the kind of shit Trump’s handlers are trying to get him to not post, obviously suggesting some sort of conspiracy between Dems and the media to turn Harris into a racial chameleon or some shit he made up in his head. These headlines next to each other are about as remarkable as one that acknowledges that Barack Obama was the 44th white president. It’s actually literally fucking true that Kamala Harris is the first Indian-American US Senator and the first Black vice president. Those two facts about her background are not in tension with each other.

Trump also basically said outright he’s going to fire FBI Director Chris Wray if he’s elected, accusing him of lying and demanding he resign immediately for telling Congress he personally had not witnessed any signs of Biden declining physically or mentally over the last few years.

A fucking idiot’s joy ride in a stolen Seattle Fire Department engine ended all too quickly early Wednesday as the dipshit forgot to disengage the parking brake before revving up the hulking truck, making it only around the corner from the 9200 block of Second Avenue Southwest where it had been parked outside while firefighters responded to an unspecified emergency, KIRO reports.

The unnamed 22 year-old genius fled the scene but was arrested shortly thereafter. The fire truck was undamaged in the incident. The suspect was booked into King County jail pending charges.

What had last week elicited an “Oh fuck, oh no” from Dem voters is now more like “Okay, wrap it up already,” as the DNC is still moving ahead with its plan for a rapid virtual nomination of its presumptive candidate, locking Veep Kamala Harris in on the ballot for November, NBC reports.

Kamala Harris’s America. https://t.co/2kKyNghxqF

“Netanyahu’s speech to Congress falls short, as have his actions since taking office, and I’m calling on him to resign immediately. I met with families of hostages today and they overwhelmingly were critical of Netanyahu and believe he’s not doing enough in service to their families and families across the region I stand with them. As I’ve said before, his approach to this war and his rejection of a two-state solution has led to unimaginable pain in the region, failed to keep his own people secure and made us all less safe. It’s past time for all parties to agree to a ceasefire to stop the civilian suffering in Gaza, bring the hostages home, end this terrible war and hold those responsible for October 7th accountable,” says California Dem Congressman Jimmy Gomez in a statement after the Israeli dictator addressed a joint session marked by high-profile absences and walkouts.

Silly lib thinking that autocrats like “Bibi” are going to feel any sort of shame or remorse, or that the media will take it as seriously as they did when Dems called on Joe Biden to step aside.

People can be such selfish pricks sometimes, as 47 year-old prison inmate Ezequiel Romo found out the hard way on Sunday night. KTLA’s details are a little sketchy, but it’s obvious that some other dudes he was living with at at Centinela State Prison in Imperial County, California are real back stabbers. And front stabbers. And side stabbers. They’re pretty much just stabbers.

Truth be told, the now-deceased Romo was kind of a fucking prick himself though, as he’d been serving life without parole for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit other murders. Per KTLA, Romo “was the leader of the Blythe Street gang in Panorama City and was responsible for at least eight deaths after he ordered members of the gang to turn on one another, removing drug addicts, informants, rivals and other people whom he considered ‘dead weight’ from the gang.”

Still, you have to give him some benefit of the doubt here. Like if there’s gotta be some way that a street gang leader who threatened to kill his own guys for getting the wrong tattoos or even missing his phone calls might have been a kind and benevolent prison gang leader who in no way had a gruesome death from “prison-manufactured weapons” coming to him. It’s entirely possible, right?

MAGA propaganda network Fox News on Wednesday pitched a September 17th debate to convicted felon former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaigns, Variety reports.

The date is just a week after what would have been ABC News’s night hosting the second Biden-Trump debate. That’s apparently still up in the air given Trump’s recent bitching about it after Harris took over, but hasn’t been officially canceled either. So it’s not clear what’s going on with two face-offs so close together on the calendar when they’re usually more spaced out. Quite possible that Team Trump and Fox News are colluding to try to box out the ABC News debate somehow.

In related-ish news, Trump just posted “A BIG WIN TODAY IN HIGH FLORIDA COURT AGAINST ABC FAKE NEWS, AND LIDDLE’ GEORGE SLOPADOPOLUS. A POWERFUL CASE! BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA WILL BE FORCED BY THE COURTS TO START TELLING THE TRUTH. THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR OUR COUNTRY. MAGA2024!” without bothering to link to any news story or court documents or otherwise explain what the fuck he was screaming about on Truth Social.

Continuing to preview his new memoir, convicted felon former President Trump’s nephew Fred C Trump III – father to a severely disabled 25 year old son William – writes in Time Magazine that the fat fuck had some very Hitler-ish attitudes towards such people, even his own flesh and blood grandnephew, telling Fred as much in the Oval Office. With then-HHS Secretary Alex Azar in the room with them. After sitting through a 45-minute meeting where Fred advocated for policies for better care for disabled people at which Donald appeared to be receptive, if rambling and stupid.

Residents of The Villages, Florida are a mixed bag when it comes to the new Hooters location set to open its doors some time in the coming months, with one telling Villages-News.com she’s “sure there will be plenty of dirty old men that are going to love it,” as if that wasn’t the point.

“It’s just another way our society devalues women as purely objects,”the Villager, Kathy Strope continued. “Personally, I do not think it will last very long. They should stick to constructing close to college campuses. That would serve them well,” said another female Villager. News to us that Hooters was a “close to college campuses” thing… well, actually it makes sense for hiring at least.

“I think The Villages has enough Peter Pans here without giving them even more toys,” said Geraldine Digiorgio, adding she sees “future problems” from the wings-and-boobs themed chain.

Villages-News’s story did not quote a single woman who was pro-Hooters. The men on the other hand were, well you already figured out where this was going. “I welcome Hooters to Lake Denton Plaza. Close to home. Besides the ‘Hooters,’ the wings and cold beer are always good. I will be a regular,” said Rich Nichols, who we’re sure subscribed to Playboy for the articles too. Sam Stevens complimented the chain’s business acumen. “I should imagine that their corporate management team had the gumption to run studies on their target audience to determine that there were enough prurient fellows, not unlike myself, who would be drawn to sipping the occasional brew whilst enjoying the scenery,” said Stevens, the one closest to admitting why he would patronize the place.
