The MAGA reich have ordered ICE agents to cease stopping vehicles until further notice after the second fatal shooting of an unarmed man in under a week, CNN reports on the Trump Regime going all woke and pussified because of public outrage over their white nationalist brutality.

Monday’s victim Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero was a 26 year-old Colombian immigrant and father to a three year-old daughter who had a valid work permit and thus no reason to flee ICE agents.

…except a completely valid fear of getting locked in a gulag for months and then possibly deported anyway after the Reich found some bullshit pretext to revoke his visa and spending thousands of dollars in legal fees no matter how it ended. That’s probably why he fled from the traffic stop.

“Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran – and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION.”

“We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20 percent United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON!” posted King Taco on Tuesday, emphasis added to relevant portion of TACOing with more vaporware “investments” unlikely to be anything other than more graft for the fat fuck… if he’s even getting that out of it.

More than three years after a jury awarded her the amount after finding that convicted felon President Trump had sexuallly abused her – which the judge then determined was rape under New York State law – writer EJ Carroll’s lawyers on Tuesday received a $5.6 million wire transfer from the Orange Tyrant’s legal team, having only taken the actual fucking US Supreme Court quietly declining the case and then another few weeks of kicking and screaming, TV lawyer Lisa Rubin reports.

The other $80 million+ judgment for the defamation verdict remains in appellate limbo.

Centibillionare Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has ceased donating shares to the Gates Foundation following this year’s reveal of – among other suspicious details – Dirty Bill’s little venereal disease problem in an unsent email draft written by none other than Jeffrey Epstein, CNBC reports.

“My goal is to dispose of all of my Berkshire shares within about eight years,” Buffett said in a statement announcing the gifts but not mentioning the omission of the Gates Foundation’s usual annual haul – totaling $47 billion since 2006. “As I explained last year, my children are unfortunately growing older. I have every hope that the three of them are able to carry out the disposal of my shares by December 31, 2034,” the 95 year-old Cherry Coke aficionado added.

You will not be terribly surprised to learn from Semafor that convicted felon President Trump’s minions attempted to talk him out of his batshit plan to charge tolls for ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

“This is what he’s always wanted to do, but people tried to talk him out of it,” a White House official said. “To him, this was his instinctual decision always, and he’s sort of just come back around to it.”

Per convicted felon President Trump’s wishes, Darlene Graham Nordone will serve as junior Senator from South Carolina until a replacement is elected in November and sworn in on January 3rd, Palmetto State Gov Henry McMaster announced on Monday. Nordone immediately swore fealty to Trump, making it unlikely he fucked up and accidentally put a decent human being in the seat.

Florida federal Judge Kathleen Williams on Monday nuked convicted felon President Trump’s rigged settlement with the IRS, quashing both the $1.776 billion “weaponization fund” that supposedly was already dead AND the exemption from future audits for the fat bastard and his family.

“The Court determines that Plaintiffs improperly employed this lawsuit to justify a particular award in this matter—access to taxpayer funds and exemption from audits and other investigations – which was accomplished by leveraging control over Defendants,” wrote Williams.

“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The USA will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20 percent on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World.”

“The process and formation will begin immediately,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday and yeah, it does seem significantly more deranged and delusional from an octogenarian who already wasn’t all there to begin with. How the fuck does this idiot think this is going to work? Is the US Navy going to be boarding and inspecting every single goddamned ship that passes through to check its cargo manifest and print an invoice to each captain? They going to have a little Square Pay terminal on hand so the skipper can tap his MasterCard or AMEX and process the fee? Will the tips to the enlisted sailors on the boarding team at least be optional if a vessel is carrying under 5,000 gross tonnes of cargo? Do they have to pool those tips with everyone else in CENTCOM?

Oil prices immediately spiked over $75 a barrel of Brent Crude in the minutes after the post.

Early reports indicate that a person of unknown name, gender, and nationality has been shot dead in the town of Biddeford, Maine on Monday, WMTW reports on the second fatality at the hands of the MAGA stormtrooper corps in under a week following the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an unarmed 52 year-old father of three driving a work van, in Houston on Wednesday.

“A person was killed. ICE was involved. State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well. These are the details that I have at this time. I will provide further updates, as they are relayed to me,” said state House Speaker Ryan Fecteau in a statement on Monday morning, also confirmed by local cops.

Maine was supposed to be off-limits to ICE per Trump Administration due to Senator Concern Lady’s reelection campaign which was like 50-50 even with a credibly accused rapist opponent.

Calling into his favorite morning show, convicted felon President Trump on Monday remembered his dear friend Lindsey Graham as a 2016 GOP presidential primary loser and later briefly a crusader for justice after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol that left five people dead. Trump for a bit swerved into “election integrity” issues again and complained about the Los Angeles mayoral race but largely stayed on track with shading the very recently-departed Republican senator.

Cops in the UK’s Devon and Cornwall region on Monday confirmed in a press release that the national counterterrorism police are “now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe. Specialist officers from across the CTP network have been working alongside colleagues in Devon and Cornwall Police since a murder investigation was launched last week. Officers were called to Miss Widdecombe’s home at Haytor, Devon, by the ambulance service at around 11.40am on Thursday 9 July.” They kind of left out the “potential motive” part since Widdecome served as a spokeswoman for the revanchist reich-y ReformUK party. 

“Sadly, 78-year-old Miss Widdecombe was located deceased within the property. She had sustained serious injuries. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday 11 July. New information and evidence has come to light during what has been a dynamic and complex investigation and as a result, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) is now leading the investigation. The man in custody has since been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.”

NEW: Iran launching missiles at Jordan, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait after another wave of U.S. strikes inside Iran.

U.S. officials also pushing back on viral social media claims that American service members were injured in Kuwait, saying those reports are false.

Convicted felon President Trump’s Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill “Fannie Man” Pulte will in the coming weeks release what MS Now reports are “thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents” that Trump and Pulte believe are “evidence of irregularities in US elections,” in the usual go-to move for generating content for dogshit right wing media outlets to tell their audience that the whole evil plot has been exposed and will come crashing down, just wait.

“I have no fear of anything being released. We already know what happened in 2020. That’s the most scrutinized election in world history,” said David Becker, a former Justice Department voting rights attorney. “I do have a fear that the White House and the federal government has become perhaps the primary amplifier of disinformation that seeks to delegitimize American democracy in our election process,” Becker added, speaking to the actual practical effects of such a move, that the reich self-generates their own justification for interfering in key states and jurisdictions.

A wildfire at 800 hectares and growing south of France’s capital of Paris, described by officials as “virulent” and of “exceptional scale,” has prompted the closure of the country’s main north-south highway and forced delays of as much as six hours on its rail network amid a deadly heatwave, the BBC reports.

Never one to sincerely mourn the death of a supposed friend in a normal, human way, convicted felon President Trump on Sunday told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he spoke to Lindsey Graham just minutes before his sudden death overnight and that it was all about the SAVE America Act, Trump’s ongoing tantrum over “election integrity” that will still never pass no matter who replaces Graham.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has died at age 71 after a “brief and sudden illness” his office announced at 2:02 AM on Sunday. There were no further specifics on the illness.
