Conservative Indonesians, many carrying banners bearing the Islamic declaration of faith, on Monday rallied in the streets of Jakarta to demand the government back down from a decision to increase fuel prices, the AP reports. It’s not clear if the protesters planned to put stickers of President Joko Widodo saying “I DID THAT!” pointing at the price display on gas pumps if the rallies don’t work. It’d also be interesting to see if whoever the Indonesian equivalent is of Jim Jordan will “joke” by asking on Twitter if Indonesians have to wear two masks while they’re pumping expensive gas. Conservative “humor” like that should translate globally, even though it sucks.

Rather than just continue to pretend the January 6th, 2021, MAGA insurrection never happened, if the win the majority House GOP are planning to investigate the US Capitol Police for getting the shit beaten out of them by an angry horde of Republican voters on that day, Politico reports.

“I think it’s been very well-documented that there were significant intelligence and communications failures on Jan. 6. It’s not the first time we’ve had those issues. We have to stop that,” said GOP South Dakota Congressman Kelly Armstrong, who might be correct objectively but it’s still not clear why the fuck he thinks it’s a good idea for House Republicans to suddenly start acting like it wasn’t a big deal and just a “normal tourist visit” or whatever it is in the official talking points now.

In the weeks following following his humiliating loss to Joe Biden in the 2020 election, disgraced former President Trump told his minions they were just not going to leave the White House, CNN reports on New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s upcoming book, Confidence Man.

“I’m just not going to leave,” Trump said, according to Haberman. “We’re never leaving. How can you leave when you won an election?” The book details this being a switch from the most immediate aftermath of the loss, in which Donald appeared to at first accept his defeat, saying “We did our best” and “I thought we had it,” but then declaring that if all options had been exhausted he would simply stay even as Biden moved in. “Why should I leave if they stole it from me?” Trump reportedly asked RNC Chair Ronna Not-Romney McDaniel in what must’ve been an entertaining exchange.

Now by the third paragraph we’re realizing this isn’t really anything new, that plenty of contemporaneous reporting – even the two days after the election, before it was called, had a Biden Campaign spokesman saying “the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.” Haberman needs some better, more outrageous shit than this coming out ahead of her book’s street date on October 4th if she wants people to drop $29 or whatever it’s going to cost for a hardcover copy.

Police in Walled Lake, Michigan shot and killed 53-year-old QAnon fan Igor Lanis in a brief shootout early Sunday morning after he murdered his wife, Tina, 56, with a handgun and shot his daughter, Rachel, 25, in the back and legs with a shotgun, the Detroit News reports.

Officials did not publicly identify the victims, however the Lanis’ other daughter, Rebecca, confirmed directly to the Detroit News her father had snapped and shot both her mother and sister, detailing how Igor had gone full QAnon in recent years. Rachel Lanis is in stable condition and expected to survive. As for her father, Rebecca said “I think that he was always prone to (mental issues), but it really brought him down when he was reading all those weird things on the internet,” adding that he’d really gone down the rabbit hole after Trump lost the 2020 election.

“It’s really so shocking but it really can happen to anybody. Right-wing extremism is not funny, and people need to watch their relatives and if they have guns, they need to hide them or report them or something because this is out of control,” said Rebecca, whose rhetoric is basically declaring war on the 74 million Americans who voted for President Trump in the last election (sarc).

Disgraced former President Trump made an unannounced landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on Sunday evening, showing up wearing white golf shoes as if he left in the middle of a game despite there being a forecast of rain on Monday, the Daily Beast reports, mentioning rampant speculation of the fat bastard being in town to answer to an indictment.

The governor of the northeastern Ukrainian region of Kharkiv claimed Monday that troops had, in parts of his territory, driven Russian troops completely over the border during the sweeping offensive that saw a total collapse of Putin’s forces in the area in the last few days, the AP reports.

“In some areas of the front, our defenders reached the state border with the Russian Federation,” wrote Kharkiv Governor Oleh Syniehubov. The claim could not be verified independently.

“… so they’re just flabbergasted by it.  But da, again, th-the press is so unbelievably powerful and the Left has infiltrated every institution of this country,” Russian hobbyist and guy who just happened to be the Senator the insurrectionists called Ron Johnson (Q-Wi.) calculates.  “They started with the college and university system so they control colleges of education and journalism and law, and they’ve infiltrated every agency, they’ve infiltrated religions, they’ve infiltrated everything and now we’re seeing the results of that.  That’s why our nation is literally on a precipice where at each point in history we have to win this election and we have to win many more because w-we got to y’know, p-push them out of these institutions and return some normalcy, return the values that made this country great.”

Far-right nationalist and religious groups took to the streets of Belgrade, Serbia to protest a planned Gay Pride parade scheduled for next weekend, Reuters reports, with chants supporting Russia and the invade of Ukraine mixed in with nationalist slogans.

During his sermon as part of a service held during the protest, the head of the Serbian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Porfirije, said the EuroPride event threatened traditional family values.  “They want to desecrate the sanctity of marriage and the family and impose an unnatural union as a substitute for marriage,” he told the crowd.

While homosexuality is not against the law in Serbia, the government had barred some Gay Pride parades before permitting this month’s.  LGBTQ advocates have been working to legalize gay marriage with little success.

After their towns were liberated from Russian occupiers, Ukrainian civilians told soldiers the Russians were dropping their rifles and running away in fear as the Ukrainian military fought to free captured territory, the Washington Post reports.

Just like the junior Republican Senator from Missouri who ran through the halls of Congress to escape a violent mob he encourage just hours before, fearful Russian soldiers are fleeing as their positions were being targeted.

A former pitcher who played parts of six seasons in the Major Leagues but who retired in 2016 to become a Port Authority Police officer died in a traffic accident Sunday morning driving to work the command center at a 9/11 memorial ceremony, ESPN reports.

A native of Staten Island, Anthony Varvaro, 37, was traveling into Manhattan from his home in New Jersey, and as he was near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel on the New Jersey Turnpike, a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction impacted his car head-on.

Varvaro played in the Majors from 2010 to 2016 for the Atlanta Braves, Seattle Mariners and Boston Red Sox.  After retiring in 2016, Varvaro started working as an officer for the Port Authority, eventually joining the World Trade Center Command.  He also taught classes at the Port Authority’s academy.

For the upcoming official funeral of Queen Elizabeth, so many people are expected to come to London foreign heads of state are being instructed by the British government that they will not be allowed to drive around town in their own state vehicles, so they will be bussed to Westminster Abbey, Politico reports.

The British Foreign Ministry started sending information to embassies Saturday night outlining the expectations, plans and protocols for the celebration of the Queen’s life.  Only heads of state and their spouses or partners will be allowed to attend the event; no one else will be allowed to be part of official state delegations because of the limited seating available in the church.

Leaders are being asked to fly on commercial flights into London, not take private planes because of the limited ground space to secure aircraft.  London’s Heathrow Airport will not be made available to foreign delegations for either landings or aircraft storage; other airports in the region may not be able to accommodate certain planes.

Three months ago gas prices were sky high, the highest they’ve even been, causing great hardship for patriots who drive large American SUVs and pickups and keep them running so the AC stays on while the truck’s parked diagonally across three handicapped spaces in front of Walmart. From Sheetz to Wawa to Circle K to Turkey Hill to Buc-ee’s to Kum and Go to Flying J to Cumberland Farms, thousands of filling stations across MAGAmerica were proudly sporting an “I DID THAT!” next to the sale amount display screen because Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada and did some other liberal green new deal shit that made gas prices a lot higher than they were when Trump’s policies and leadership made them extremely low in April 2020.

Now gas prices have been dropping for 89 days in a row! Like the above meme from some patriot on Truth Social implies, Biden and the democrats are doing something to make gas prices lower. We don’t know what it is, but it’s 100% politically motivated. It’s basically election interference, because Republicans have been campaigning on high gas prices. The lower costs go, the less motivated those stupid sheeple Independentard voters will be to show up and help the Red Wave swamp the Biden Regime! This is fucking serious people! The national average could be under $3 a gallon in November! Someone needs to do something immediately before it’s too late!

“We will take back what is rightfully ours which is the White House in 2024.”  Set aside the fact that the GOP lapdancer for the highest bidder holds a microphone like a chicken leg.  Forget that she ignores the function of said microphone and screams loud enough to wake the dead three counties over.  Trump campaign fundraising co-chair and Junior’s stepmother Oedipal complex Kimberly Guilfoyle tells a group gathering for something called “Freedom Fest” in Morningview, Kentucky asserts the White House is “rightfully ours,” even though Trump lost the popular vote, the Electoral College, scores of court cases and all remaining credibility.

Courtesy of a number of British laws, King Charles III will inherit his mother’s $750 million estate without having to pay one pound of taxes in a nation where citizens have to pay a 40% levy on inheritances over £325,000, Business Insider reports.

A 1993 law passed by Parliament give the royal family a pass on inheritance taxes to ensure that the royals would be able to maintain their wealth should two members of the family die in a short period of time.  Queen Elizabeth II dies last week, while her husband Prince Philip died 18 months ago.  In 2002, Elizabeth benefited from the rule by inheriting the Queen Mother’s $80 million estate after she died.

Charles will take over the Duchy of Lancaster, which generated about $27 million in income last year.  The duchy manages 18,000 hectares of land in England and Wales that have commercial, agricultural and residential properties.  Founded in the 13th century, a 1702 law prevents the royal family from selling any of the estate.

This week’s Otter Globe and Intelligencer post examines the what an end of the Putin regime could mean for the GOP’s coffers as shit goes from bad to worse on the battlefield for Russia.

Putin-allied Chechen warlord Ramzan Karenov Kadyrov is really upset over the rout his men have been suffering in eastern Ukraine, warning in a Telegram post that he’ll have no choice but to complain to the management at the Kremlin if his paramilitary troops aren’t allowed to go back to brutalizing innocent Ukrainian civilians. “My representatives spoke with all the commanders who are on the front lines. We have complete information from the field, of all the incidents. If today or tomorrow no changes are made in the strategy to maintain the NMD, then I will have to contact the leadership of the Ministry of Defense and the leadership of the country, to explain the situation… The situation is very interesting,” wrote Karenov Kadyrov on Sunday.

The man-Karen wasn’t alone in his rage over the good guys winning. “Oh-oh, someone is a bit angry. One #Russian propagandist on #Telegram got upset that the ‘idiot and schizophrenic’ Pynia is celebrating the heroic retreat of the ?? army in Kharkiv. ‘I’ll note this one down,’ he writes. And what then? Vote Pynia out? Storm the bunker?” wrote the Kyiv Post on Twitter showing a screenshot of “Alex Parker Media” on Telegram. “Pynia” is a nickname for Putin, but it’s unclear whether it’s derogatory. Either way we hope for this “Alex Parker” character’s sake he stays away from windows in tall buildings. Accidents happen. And they’ve been happening quite a lot lately.

Benghazi 10 years later: '13 Hours' survivor reflects on deadly battle, says US hasn’t learned from mistakes https://t.co/Gu4us8U8NS

— Fox News (@FoxNews) September 11, 2022

Fox News on Sunday put out a solemn report commemorating the anniversary of a September 11th attack in which Americans lost their lives to Islamic extremists. The conservative media outlet pulled no punches in examining the decisions by leadership and the intelligence failures that led up to the assault of freedom, going to so far as to question the official narrative of the attack, even hinting that those responsible may have somehow let it happen for unclear reasons.

9:03 AM Eastern on September 11th, 2001, twenty-one years ago to the minute, was when United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center, 17 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 – initially believed to be an accident – hit the North Tower. Both flights originated in Boston, both were destined for Los Angeles, which the Al-Qaeda hijackers had chosen specifically because their tanks would be filled with jet fuel, maximizing the destruction.

What was already a bad morning in New York City became far, far, far worse. Then, 34 minutes later at 9:37 AM EDT, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, having taken off from Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Finally, at 10:03 AM, United Flight 93, which took off from Newark-Liberty International Airport, crashed in rural western Pennsylvania as the passengers attempted to take control of the flight from the hijackers. The terrorists’ target was unclear, but it is widely thought to be either the White House or the US Capitol.

From the outset, alleged retired prostitute and spouse of teen sexual harasser Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (Q-Co.) starts off her debate against her Democratic opponent by accusing the moderator of being partisan, even all the woman did was introduce her.  Boebert accuses the moderator of having endorsed her opponent in 2020 because of a tweet, so she tries to set the stage that the entire debate is biased because the moderator sent a tweet.  When the moderator puts Boebert in her place, the audience erupts in applause.  (Well, “erupts” may be a strong word.)

What’s really crazy about this, besides the Congresswoman herself, is that the moderator in this debate format doesn’t ask the questions.  There’s a panel, and all the moderator does is decide the time split between candidates, so attacking the moderator really accomplishes nothing… much like Boebert herself.

It can’t be flattering to be compared to fellow Canadian Ted Cruz (R-Quintana Roo), but that’s the best way to understand the radicalness of the new leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, Pierre Poilievre.

According to the Associated Press, a Canadian political scientist describes Poilievre as “Ted Cruz without the anti-abortion stance.”  Poilievre is also as much an opportunist as Cruz as well, frequently switching political positions on things like LGBTQ marriage as is politically convenient.

The 43-year-old holds many populist positions:  he supported the Canadian trucker blockade protesting US vaccination laws, which cost businesses in Ottawa tens of millions of dollars and paralyzed trade across the border.  He was also a supporter of anti-vaccination efforts.
