Minnesota Republican strategist Dustin Grage tells Politico that convicted felon President Trump backing mustachioed pillow pitchman Mike Lindell for the gubernatorial nomination is basically just throwing away their chance to unseat Tim Walz. “We’d be cooked. I’d be moving to Florida very shortly. We would lose pretty badly if Mike Lindell were to get the nomination,” said Grage.

Chinese communist dictator Xi Jingping and his minions are starting to have second thoughts about getting into this whole “AI race” thing and are starting to realize that losing to the United States might actually be preferable to building a machine mind capable of the kind of independent thinking discouraged by the party’s culture as a potential threat to their rule, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Although China’s government sees AI as crucial to the country’s economic and military future, regulations and recent purges of online content show it also fears AI could destabilize society. Chatbots pose a particular problem: Their ability to think for themselves could generate responses that spur people to question party rule,” the Journal writes and L-O-fucking-L, stupid commies.

Just a reminder that Islam wants to destroy all Western traditions and holidays.

This is disgusting.

If this doesn’t make you want mass deportations now, then you aren’t paying attention.

Christmas is an inherent part of the WEST. This is an Islamic attack on Christians. https://t.co/JlzTezNzbI

Laura Loomer was back to her usual self on Wednesday after having something of a little hallucinatory fugue state crisis over the state of the Republican Party on Tuesday morning.

Such a wondrous Christmas miracle has come for the payday loan industry! It’s as though executives have opened the window and shouted to a rumpled pauper boy passing by what the commotion is and heard back “Why sirs, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau have issued an advisory opinion that lenders are no longer required to provide borrowers with certain disclosures, such ⁠as costs and ‌terms, reversing previous guidance under crotchety old man Biden’s Administration!”

“The newsboys from Reuters ‘ave shouted it to all who hear! ‘Tis truly wondrous!” the lad added and with that the payday loan industry executives burst from their doors and spun with joy into the streets, cavorting and skipping amongst the carolers and vagabonds sharing the warmth of the celebration. A merrier Christmas for those good fellows, than Biden and Obama have given them, for many a year! The government shall raise their profits, and endeavor to assist their “assistance” for struggling families! God bless the payday loan industry, God bless all who lend and collect debts!

In an internal DOJ email obtained by CNN, convicted felon President Trump’s regime on Tuesday sent out an “emergency request from the [Deputy Attorney General’s] office the SDFL must assist with… We need AUSAs to do remote document review and redactions related to the Epstein files.”

“We have an obligation to the public to release these documents and before we can do so, certain redactions must be made to protect the identity of the victims, among other things.”

The MAGA kids are not alright. An ugly cancer is rapidly metastasizing on them, one necessitating another long nightmare scroll into the dark heart of the malignancy, beginning with a precursor:

Last month Somerville, Massachusetts man Brian Sokol penned what is now his second op-ed for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency headlined “NYC voters elected a BDS mayor. Voters in my city went much farther,” a piece which at no point spells out what “BDS” actually means. It’s “boycott, divest, sanction” as in inflict economic pain on the State of Israel for the Netanyahu Regime’s genocidal brutality toward the Palestinian people and the unspeakable horrors inflicted on children and families in occupied territories. As for the “much farther” it’s Somerville having said yes, with a 55 percent majority, to a ballot measure asking “Shall the Mayor of Somerville and all Somerville elected leaders be instructed to end all current city business and prohibit future city investments and contracts with companies as long as such companies engage in business that sustains Israel’s apartheid, genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine?” on the same day that a smaller and bare majority of New York City voters – a third of Gotham’s Jewish electorate among them – had elected Zohran Mamdani.

Though literally non-binding, “Question 3” will, according to Sokol, in practice cost the city’s school district “more money and negatively affect local students and teachers” if they don’t buy HP laptops for kids because of the boycott of companies that do business with the Netanyahu Regime. Same thing if the city’s DOT doesn’t buy Caterpillar equipment. Sokol finds space in his lament for some soothing, writing that “less engaged voters were more likely to see it as a simple vote for or against genocide, which the text proclaims as if this were a non-controversial, established fact” and that the result “should be understood as a split decision. The ballot passed, but not by a landslide.”

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that, in deploying the National Guard to Chicago, convicted felon President Trump’s regime has “failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois. The President has not invoked a statute that provides an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act. Instead, he relies on inherent constitutional authority that, according to the Government, allows him to use the military to protect federal personnel and property. But the Government also claims – consistent with the longstanding view of the Executive Branch – that performing such protective functions does not constitute,” and blah blah blah.

Mind you this is them declining to issue a stay of a circuit court’s order enjoining the deployment but the order’s 25 pages long and goes on at length, sooooooo… Yeah it’s a big L for the fat bastard.

Just about 349 days after the region was struck with horrific fires that wiped out destroyed thousands of homes and killed at least 30 people, the Los Angeles area faces the opposite type of cataclysm in the form of torrential downpours of up to 10 inches from an “atmospheric river” expected starting Tuesday into Wednesday, LAist reports with a live blog carrying the latest.

Some Angelenos will be home for Christmas if only in their dreams with mandatory evacuation orders near burn scars that can turn into mudslides – already 400 houses in the vicinity of recent wildfires are to be vacated as of 11 AM PDT and more such orders are expected in other areas.

That fucking sucks. Hearts out to our Los Angeles-area people. Stay safe, stay dry, stay off the roads. No shame in celebrating the holiday with neighbors instead of relatives on the other side of the region if it means you’re not going to get caught in a flash flood or a sudden rockslide.

Speaking to CNN’s Pamela Brown on Tuesday, Epstein survivor Haley Robson told the anchor on no uncertain terms that she’s “no longer supporting this administration. I am so disgusted with this administration. I think that Pam Bondi and Kash Patel both need to resign, and I would love to see number 47 get impeached over this.” So no, the release of the files is not being well received by at least one survivor. Robson had previously expressed cautiously hopeful, diplomatic support for Trump to do the right thing and expose his former close buddy’s crimes for the whole world to see.

“The Met has issued two new charges to Russell Brand, 50 (04.02.75), of Oxfordshire: One count of rape, One count of sexual assault. These new charges are in relation to two further women and are in addition to the charges issued to Brand in April 2025 which involved four women: Two counts of rape, One count of indecent assault, Two counts of sexual assault. Detectives began investigating in September 2023 after receiving a number of allegations, which followed reporting by Channel 4’s Dispatches and The Sunday Times. It was alleged that: In 1999 a woman was raped in the Bournemouth area. In 2001 a woman was indecently assaulted in the Westminster area of London. In 2004 a woman was orally raped and sexually assaulted in the Westminster area of London Between 2004 and 2005, a woman was sexually assaulted in the Westminster area of London.”

“Detective Chief Inspector Tariq Farooqi from the Metropolitan Police, who is leading the investigation, said: ‘The women who have made reports, including those connected to the two new charges, continue to receive support from specially trained officers. The Met’s investigation remains ongoing, and detectives urge anyone affected by this case, or anyone with information, to come forward and speak with police. A dedicated team of investigators can be reached via email at CIT@met.police.uk,'” says the London Metropolitan Police Department in a statement.

The new charges come just days after Brand took the stage at the Turning Point USA America Fest to ramble about conspiracies and shit. Guess it’s all just a hit job from a woke fascist UK regime.

Investors in video game publisher Electronic Arts on Monday approved Saudi Crown Prince and Mohammed Bonesaw’s bid to buy them out for $210 a share and handing Jared Kushner 1.1 percent of the deal for “brokering” it, Kotaku reports while adding that the publisher will also be stuck with $20 billion in debt because of said inflated share price, leaving lots of chopping and sawing to do.

Have you spoken to @MakisMedicine? Great things are happening with ivermectin fenben and medben. Peace to you and yours.

Sincere thoughts and prayers for the former Senator. A godawful way to die and worth low-lighting the crass fucking stupidity of this reply that did not take that long to find scrolling down the responses – from an account followed by some MAGA Twitter luminaries not worth mentioning here.

Wrote one investigator to another on January 7th, 2020, when the DOJ was very much under the control of Trump and Bill Barr and prosectors were developing the sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell: “For your situational awareness, wanted to let you know that the flight records we received yesterday reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein’s private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware), including during the period we would expect to charge in a Maxwell case. In particular, he is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including at least four flights on which Maxwell was also present. He is listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric. On one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old [REDACTED] On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case. We’ve just finished reviewing the full records (more than 100 pages of very small script) and didn’t want any of this to be a surprise down the road.” Not a good look.

“Dear [Larry Nasser], As you know by now, I have taken the “short route” home. Good luck! We shared one thing… our love & caring for young ladies at the hope they’d reach their full potential. Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to ‘grab snatch,’ whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system. Life is unfair. Yours, J Epstein,” reads a 2019 letter allegedly from Dirty Jeff to former US gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar, just two weeks before Jeff was found dead in his cell at the federal lockup in Manhattan.

The Department of Justice has officially released nearly 30,000 more pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be…

— U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) December 23, 2025

“To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already. Nevertheless, out of our commitment to the law and transparency, the DOJ is releasing these documents with the legally required protections for Epstein’s victims,” the tweet continued after the cutoff. This as though there weren’t fucking countless times that absolute bullshit “FD-1023” tips submitted to the FBI by random Russian and Turkish gangsters alleging that Joe Biden was running a political corruption syndicate the size of Microsoft and JP Morgan Chase combined were weaponized against him.

Among the latest batch of the Epstein files dumped late Monday night/early Tuesday is a June 2021 email between federal investigators following convicted felon Steve Bannon’s indictment in the We Build The Wall scam indicating that Bannon may have taken a previously non-public photo of future convicted felon President Trump with future convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

“I hope you’re well! I’m helping out with the responsiveness review for [We Build The Wall] and I’ve been looking through Steve Bannon’s iPhone 7 on Cellebrite. As I was going through the images from that phone, I found an image of Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell on Bannon’s phone (see screenshot from Cellebrite, attached). I discussed with Sunny and we wanted to flag this for you, in case it was of any importance to you, since you are on both cases,” someone wrote to someone, with “Cellebrite” referring to an Israeli-made law enforcement data forensics software platform.

The photo itself is completely blacked out for reasons unknown. Its timing and provenance are also unclear – as in whether Bannon himself took the pic and it was snapped on that actual phone as opposed to having been downloaded from iCloud from an earlier iPhone model he owned. If yes to both, then it would have had to have been taken after 2015 when the iPhone 7 was released.

Afghan Taliban backed-militants ambushed and shot dead five police officers on patrol in the Karak district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Pakistan on Tuesday, the AP reports.

“The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation. Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!” posted a clearly enraged convicted felon President Trump at 12:32 AM on Tuesday.

Less clear is precisely what reporting he’s responding to as nothing from them particularly sticks out over the last day or so. There’s “Hundreds of Big Post-Election Donors Have Benefited From Trump’s Return to Office” laying out how the oligarchs who have spent on his stupid ballroom and other vanity projects have been rewarded with pardons and what not. But that basically spreadsheeting and compiling the public record of corruption that Trump never felt the need to hide. True, this is the same format of the article the last time Trump really lost his shit at the Times, but that one’s subject matter – the steady deterioration of his physical and mental health – is something he cannot hide.

Could be them quoting a retired Navy admiral mocking the new “Trump-class” fleet, saying “These ‘battleships’ will achieve none of these tactical goals,” but the guy, Mark Montgomery, a former director of operations at US Pacific Command, was named and on the record in the article. So you’d think Trump would at least scream at Montgomery AND the Times for platforming him, right?

Oh well. Maybe we’ll find out soon what the hell it was got him to throw yet another impotent tantrum at the paper he’s already suing for who the hell even remembers how many billions of dollars so now he’s gotta up the ante and declare them a threat to national security. Surely these harsh words toward the Times will get them to apologize and bow to his will once and for all.

Iran’s regime on Saturday announced they had Mike Penced yet another one of their citizens convicted of spying for Israel, the tenth so far this year since their June conflict, per Al-Jazeera, who report the latest condemned was a 27 year-old architecture student named Aghil Keshavarz who was arrested earlier this year for taking photos of a military headquarters building.

Weird that a guy interested in pursuing architecture as a career would be taking pics of a building.

They claimed they had a shit ton of other evidence against him, but international organizations say the usual MO is to just make shit up once they already have a suspect in custody.

Convicted felon President Trump and binge drinking date rapist Pete Hegseth are going to unveil the new “Trump-class battleship” to be built for the US Navy, per the Wall Street Journal.
