🚨 YUGE! 🚨 The Wall Street Journal reports the Biden Administration has put America on track for its biggest petroleum production year in history! DRILL BABY DRILL! The Marxists and Islamofascists who run OPEC are screaming at the sky as their efforts to raise prices and put their ally Trump back in office keep failing! Even Brazil and Norway are pumping big time! Cry more MAGAtards! LMAO!

Seriously though this is kick in the balls to the fanboys who stroke it when Trump tells them “we were energy independent” under his administration. He was completely full of shit because the US imported at least 10 billion barrels total over the four years of his wasted presidency.

Hardcore white nationalist Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers likely violated the very anti-revenge porn law on Wednesday when she posted nude pics of Hunter Biden ripped from the infamous laptop he supposedly left at a repair shop in Delaware a few years ago, AZFamily.com reports.

“It’s all here in black and white. Oh, and apparently in NBC living color,” Rogers tweeted alongside a video montage of the nudes, which she later deleted. Rogers, famous for her far MAGA batshittery like claiming the 2022 Buffalo supermarket massacre was an FBI false flag operation and calling Robert E Lee a “great leader,” recently sponsored a bill banning minors from viewing internet porn.

House Oversight dipshit James Comer on Friday sent a letter to US Secret Service Director Kim Cheatle asking her to brief his staff on the investigation into the White House cocaine incident.

“The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the details surrounding the discovery of cocaine in the White House. This alarming development requires the Committee to assess White House security practices and determine whose failures led to an evacuation of the building and finding of the illegal substance. The Committee requests the US Secret Service (USSS) provide additional information. The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history. According to a senior law-enforcement official, the cocaine was found in a storage facility that is ‘routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cell phones.’ According to reports, USSS agents discovered a suspicious white powder inside the White House, prompting an evacuation of White House staff and personnel. The substance has since been confirmed to be cocaine. This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House. In order to assist the Committee with its investigation, please provide a staff level briefing on this matter by July 14, 2023. You may contact the Committee at (202) 225-5074 to schedule the briefing,” Comer wrote.

For a guy who’s supposedly about to expose a vast conspiracy to cover up Hunter Biden’s criminal activities, like the whole Biden Crime Family’s house of cards is just one step away from destruction, Comer sure seems keen on chasing down all possible suspects named Biden, including Jill.

The monthly Bureau of Labor statistics report reveals the Biden economic miracle continuing to bear fruit for Americans, with 209,000 jobs added to the economy in June, CNBC reports.

“The Moscow Region prosecutor’s office has initiated an audit of US-based company Mars, which makes candy, food products and animal feed, to identify instances of providing financing for the Ukrainian army and the existence of any unpaid taxes, a law enforcement source told TASS on Friday. ‘Currently, the Moscow Region prosecutor’s office is conducting an audit of Mars LLC to identify any illegal activities, in particular the company is being audited for potentially providing financial assistance to the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as for the veracity of revenues earned and whether all taxes due have been paid to the Russian treasury,’ the source said,” says a press release from the Putin regime via Kremlin state propaganda outlet TASS.

The release did not mention the “sexy” green M&Ms character who became the bane of former Fox News chief white nationalist Tucker Carlson’s existence for so many hours of programming, but we would have to assume that Mars’s “woke” advertising played some sort of role in Russia’s enmity.

An anonymously quoted House Republicans tell Politico titular Speaker Kevin McCarthy is increasingly screwed if and when fat former President Trump wins the 2024 nomination.

“The reality is, if we get Trump, there’s probably a good possibility that we don’t keep the House” in 2024, said a conservative who has not endorsed Trump or any other contender yet. “McCarthy knows that. He knows that if Trump’s on top of the ticket, that we probably lose New York and California… If we lose the House, there’s no way McCarthy stays as minority leader. He’s gone.”

“There’s not a person who is more black and white, who is more hot and cold, who is more politically divisive than Trump,” said one “centrist” Republican in a Biden district who says Kev has to stay out of the presidential race as long as possible. “So, while McCarthy spent six months keeping us all together, it’s like the worst thing that you can do is take a stance for or against Trump.”

“MTG became a RINO and turned on the American people. The caucus made the right move” – The current top comment on the Gateway Pundit article “Greene Booted From House Freedom Caucus.”

A week after the reliably Republican-supporting Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity declared they had raised $70 million in their anti-Trump effort, the influential conservative Club for Growth PAC announced that it formed a new “sub-PAC” to attack indicted felon Donald Trump, Politico reports.

Win it Back PAC filed foundational paperwork with the Federal Election Commission showing Club for Growth president David McIntosh as its designated agent.  Club for Growth’s treasurer, Adam Rozansky, was listed in the same role for Win it Back.

That didn’t play well in the Trump camp.  “Their goal is to maintain their shady influence over Washington because they know President Trump stands in their way as he protects Americans from these vultures,” Trump campaign senior consultant Chris LaCivita said. “These swamp dwellers will be crushed— without mercy and without remorse— and put back under the bridges where all trolls reside.”  LaCivita went on to say MacIntosh  “is a pro-China, America last, failed congressman wannabe…organizing another swampy D.C. insider super PAC.”

You’ve gotta love John Pierce.  No, seriously.  The man’s committed.  As a lawyer for dozens of the domestic terrorists who attacked Congress during the Republican-led assault on January 6th, he’s got to sell the innocence of his clients, including Ken Thomas, who was found guilty of a dozen counts including four counts of assaulting or impeding police officers.  Pierce, however, goes down the “both sides” path regarding violence during the attack on the Capitol:  the police AND the terrorist were both responsible for the attack, Pierce claims before going on to say calling the attack “violent” misrepresents the dozens of people who were there peacefully.

Kudos to CNN’s Abby Phillip who is having none of it, detailing how Pierce is falsely equating the violence perpetrated by his clients (allegedly) and others.  Phillip spends nearly a full minute dressing down Pierce for his lies, but Pierce continues insisting that the indictments of his clients were void because others weren’t violent, and therefore given the non-existent transitive property of peacefulness in law, their non-criminal activity rubs off on his criminal clients, and therefore Pierce’s clients should be found not guilty.

After a 38-year-old man passed a note saying he had a homemade bomb on board, a flight bound for Seattle from Atlanta was rerouted to Spokane, where it made a safe landing, the Seattle Times reports.  No bomb was found on board, and the man claimed he could not arrive in Seattle because members of a drug cartel were there waiting to kill him.

In a long note he handed to a flight attendant, Brandon Scott said he had a homemade bomb.  “This is not a joke,” the note read. “Several pounds of homemade explosives are in my carry on bag. I have a detonator with me. Handle this matter carefully and exactly how I say, otherwise I will detonate the explosives and kill everyone on board.”

Scott surrendered to police upon landing in Spokane.  He said he didn’t think contacting local police at the airport in Seattle or from the plane prior to landing would help because he didn’t know where the alleged assassins would be, so he believed faking an airline bombing was a completely plausible alternative.

Confronted by one of Fox’s nondescript white men asking about why he’s not connecting with voters on his presidential campaign, Republican Florida Governor and animated Beanie Baby Ron DeSantis defers to the support he gets from the monied backers of the Republican Party:

“Well, I think, did you just see the news today, ah, about the record fundraising haul we’ve had.  Nobody’s been able to match that in the history of modern presidential politics, so we’ve got a huge amount of support, ah, to be able to take the case to the people.  We really haven’t started that yet.” … which is an odd thing to say considering DeSantis has been on a barnstorming campaign tour since at least March.

In the months since the FBI seized government documents from Donald Trump’s Florida Museum of 1980s Gaudiness Mar-a-Lago, his sycophantic domestic terrorists have shifted their threats from FBI agents to the various federal and state prosecutors taking on Trump-related cases, the Washington Post reports.

In the weeks after the August search, FBI offices around the country were targeted with violence, and the Bureau and the Justice Department took care to redact the names of agents involved when possible in court documents to prevent their release to the public.

However, in the intervening week as cases went to court and indictments were released, MAGAts shifted their ire from the agents who executed the search to the various federal, state and local prosecutors involved in the multiple fraud, financial crimes, national security and obstruction cases going on.  Without citing specific threats, officials with the Justice Department and independent experts on extremism noted online chatter is targeting individuals in the federal government as well as the New York state prosecutor’s office and the prosecutors in Manhattan (NY) and Fulton (GA) Counties.

Citing reports that the victims claim they were deceived, leaders in California and San Antonio, Texas have asked federal officials to investigate Republican Florida Governor and presidential hopeful sinking his campaign Ron DeSantis for potential crimes related to his scheme to ship migrants around the country, NBC News reports.

“It is unconscionable to use people as political props by persuading them to travel to another state based on false or deceptive representations.  We urge USDOJ to investigate potential violations of federal law by those involved in this scheme,” said a letter signed by three Democrats:  California Governor Gavin Newsom, the state’s Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Sheriff of Bexar County, Texas (home of San Antonio) Javier Salazar.  Both jurisdictions had flights or bus trips of migrants paid for by money allocated by DeSantis.

Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s team are taking a particular interest in a now-infamous December 18, 2020 meeting in the Trump White House Oval Office where Rudy Giuliani, Sidney “Kraken” Powell, Overstock.com founder dipshit Patrick Byrne, and traitor Mike Flynn pitched the recently unelected loser on an executive order to have the DOJ and or Department of Homeland Security seize voting machines to “prove” the “fraud” in the 2020 election, CNN reports.

“Defendants respectfully request that the Court stay its July 4 preliminary injunction pending Defendant’s appeal of that order. See Notice of Appeal, Dkt. 296. The Government faces irreparable harm with each day the injunction remains in effect, as the injunction’s broad scope and ambiguous terms (including a lack of clarity with respect to what the injunction does not prohibit) may be read to prevent the Government from engaging in a vast range of lawful and responsible conduct—including speaking on matters of public concern and working with social media companies on initiatives to prevent grave harm to the American people and our democratic processes.”

“These immediate and ongoing harms to the Government outweigh any risk of injury to Plaintiffs if a stay is granted, and for the same reason, a stay is in the public interest. Moreover, Defendants have shown a substantial case on the merits regarding Plaintiffs’ lack of Article III standing and failure to present evidence substantiating their First Amendment claims. Accordingly, this Court should exercise its discretion to temporarily stay the preliminary injunction during the pendency of Defendants’ Fifth Circuit appeal,” write the Biden DOJ lawyers in a motion seeking a stay against that hick judge’s order blocking them from contacting social media sites regarding misinformation.

Joined @LeaderMcConnell and West Kentucky area leaders to celebrate the official opening of the fabulous new Barkley Regional Airport Building ✈️ in Paducah. The funding was secured during the Trump Administration through a joint effort with local, state and federal leaders #KY1 pic.twitter.com/dYh8vQCpRY

Probably noticing that his Republican colleagues in Congress have been correctly heckled for promoting infrastructure projects for their constituents funded by the very spending bills they voted against, House Oversight Dumbass James Comer tried to head that off by specifying that the money for this airport “was secured during the Trump Administration.” Problem is that this is still false, as the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act allocated more than $5 million for the Barkley Regional Airport itself and another $885,000 to connect it to a sewer main. Earlier that year the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 secured $11 million for the Barkley Airport’s terminal building. Comer voted against both, and called the infrastructure package a “massive socialist spending bill – which will undoubtedly lead to more inflation and government dependency.”

It’s not more than the at least $19 million secured during the Trump Regime, but half- or roughly 60 percent -truths are still lies in this context, and yet another reason why James Comer fucking sucks.

White nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was unaware she had been expelled from the House Freedom Caucasians prior to member Andy Harris telling reporters on Thursday, with Chairman Scott Perry having planned to sit down and inform her personally, NBC News reports.

It’s not totally clear if she was DEFINITELY 100 percent tossed as the vote to eject the angry divorcee from the group had a quorum as it was early on a Friday morning before the July 4th recess and not all Freedom Caucasians were in attendance, but sources tell NBC it was a done deal.

“In Congress, I serve Northwest Georgia first, and serve no group in Washington. My America First credentials, guided by my Christian faith, are forged in steel, seared into my character, and will never change… I will work with ANYONE who wants to secure our border, protect our children inside the womb and after they are born, end the forever foreign wars, and do the work to save this country. The GOP has less than two years to show America what a strong, unified Republican-led congress will do when President Trump wins the White House in 2024. This is my focus, nothing else,” said Greene in a statement that does not sound like she’s still a member.

I am admittedly a numbers geek.  As I detailed here before, my career has been based in large part on data interpretation.  To me, you can’t have an accurate overview of anything–weather, the economy, football games–unless you consider every bit of numerical data you can get your hands on.  It shouldn’t be surprising then that one of my go-to sites for economic data doesn’t use a whole lot of words to describe the current state of the US economy.  It isn’t Forbes or the WSJ; it’s the Institute of Supply Management.

“Wow,” you think.  “Glamorous.” (Insert “/s” here.)  You’re right:  it really isn’t.  It’s like poring over the box score rather than watching the game.  ISM monitors 18 separate industries, regularly polling and interviewing thousands of business people on the status of their enterprises.  It looks at everything from financial growth to incoming orders to inventory levels to supply chain flow.

These numbers point to a US business atmosphere ready to take off, with leaders in the vast majority of industries saying they’re ready to get and fill orders.  They’re confident they have the materials, financial backing and capacity but they’re being held back primarily by two things.  The first is labor; the second is a pervasive angst that the economy is teetering–an angst that doesn’t seem grounded in reality given other data.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the first drug designed to slow the progress of Alzheimer’s, the neurodegenerative disease that impacts 6.5 million Americans, rather than simply address the disease’s various symptoms, NBC News reports.

Leqembi, developed in a joint program by Japanese drugmaker Eisai and U.S.-based drugmaker Biogen, finished a Phase 3 clinical trial with nearly 1,800 patients, with the results showing the drug slowing the disease by 27%.  Noting that the drug is not a cure but instead slows down the progress of the disease, Dr. Ronald Petersen, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota said, “It’s a first step for hopefully more therapeutics in the future.”

Two former staffers for Republican Florida state Representative Fabian Basabe filed a lawsuit Thursday alleging the America First patriot had slapped one of them, age 25, on the ass in a classroom full of children during a visit to an elementary school and said “I want all of that butt,” while the other one, age 24, claims Basabe had urged him to break off his engagement to his girlfriend and “explore his sexuality by having sex with men,” CBS Miami reports.

This isn’t the first time a staffer has alleged physical assault by Basabe, as back in April the butt slapping victim, Nicholas Frevola, also publicly accused the freshman lawmaker of drunkenly smacking him in the face back in front of a crowd at a Republican fundraising event.
