There’s the other side to right wing antisemitism in 2020s America, specifically certain people whose actions and words certainly are not lowering the temperature. Quite the opposite actually:

Congressman Randy Fine (R-FL) enjoys a snack in a hyperreal depiction of his rhetoric.

“MRRGHGH SOMALIANS AGGGAGAGGGGGHHHHHH ILHAN OMAR UFGFGBBB TIM WALZ IS A RETART N HE’S TURNED MINNEAPOLIS INTO MOGADISHUUU GHGGGH WE HAV TO DEPORT ALL TEH FUCKIN SOMALIANS NOW NOW NOW NOW OR AMERICA IS LOST 4EVER!!!!111!!!”

Thus concludes that comprehensive summary of right wing media over the past few days, the hype machine turned up to an 11 over the actually years-long investigation into graft by non-profits charged with disbursing state and federal funds for food assistance and childcare programs in Minnesota. It was friggin last September that scary old hag Congresswoman Virginia Foxx subpoenaed then-Vice Presidential candidate and still-Governor Tim Walz to testify about “the multi-million-dollar fraud that has occurred under your tenure” and literally nothing has changed in terms of new revelations into his involvement. There were last month a few arrests of low-level peons in on the racket, but that’s all that really juiced the news for a MAGA propaganda-industrial complex that had been absolutely dying for a new narrative amid a very bad stretch.

Now there is definitely a legitimate scandal underneath, but it’s not particularly novel or even that large by the standards of other massive grifts in the world of waste, fraud, and abuse of funds disbursed to non-profits charged with providing assistance to the less fortunate. Look no further than Brett Farve’s daughter’s cow college’s $4 million volleyball gym, fat Mark Robinson’s wife’s meals on wheels scam, and Casey DeSantis’s $10 million Hope Florida Foundation racket.

“We must never forget the horrors of January 6th and will continue to honor the brave law enforcement officers who were injured and lost their lives defending the rule of law in the US.”

“To that end, on the fifth anniversary of that fateful day, led by the Honorable Bennie Thompson and the Members of the January 6th Select Committee, House Democrats will hold a special hearing that will commence at 10:00 am. At the hearing, we will examine ongoing threats to free and fair elections posed by an out-of-control Trump administration, expose the election deniers who hold high-level positions of significance in the executive branch and detail the threats to public safety posed by the hundreds of violent felons who were pardoned on the President’s first day in office,” says House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a memo to the Democratic caucus.

“Do I get credit for it? No. They gave the Nob- I did 8 of them. How about India and Pakistan? So I did 8 of them. And then I’ll tell you the rest of it,” said convicted felon President Trump on a hot mic during his meeting with Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago on Monday.

Among the shit convicted felon President Trump screamed at Marjorie Taylor Greene after she moved forward on the Epstein files discharge petition was “My friends will get hurt,” back in September, Greene tells the New York Times in an otherwise too long interview.

Nobody in the United States or Venezuelan governments would provide any information to the New York Times backing up convicted felon President Trump’s claim that the US military on Wednesday night had “knocked out” a “big plant or a big facility where the ships come from” during a Friday phone interview with right wing radio billionaire John Catsimatidis. “US officials declined to specify anything about the site the president said was hit, where it was located, how the attack was carried out or what role the facility played in drug trafficking. There has been no public report of an attack from the Venezuelan government or any other authorities in the region,” the Times writes, raising the strong possibility Trump is delusional and/or confusing Venezuela with Nigeria.

A series of NBC News/Enagagious/Sago focus groups of 50 Black, Latino, and young voters who voted for convicted felon President Trump in 2024 – including some who broke for Dems in Virginia and New Jersey last month – found that most still largely support the Orange Tyrant but that many are also questioning why his lies about making them rich and successful haven’t panned out.

Or not really questioning it. “I think he has a grand master plan that most of us probably don’t understand,” said 44 year-old Georgia voter Rozlyn C back in a June session, adding, “I have faith that he, a hundred percent, has the best interest of our country at heart,” lol.

It’s not clear if the grand master plan has been revealed to her since then. Three months earlier, Dorris S, 56 said she’d expected Donald “to be aggressive in a lot of different areas and he’s doing exactly that – being aggressive in a lot of different areas of focus that concern the US citizens. Every few days you’re hearing something different and you’re constantly seeing him at work, working, getting stuff done.” Dorris did not name any of that “stuff” Trump had been doing at the time.

Those were the “positive” quotes, dating back to the first half of the year. By December, 39-year-old Virginian Justin K was frustrated that Trump had “been focused on prosecuting his political enemies, pardoning people,” adding “I don’t even think that there’s much a president can do on inflation, but I think that this was a kind of situation where he just said it to get elected.” Really? You think that now, a year after you voted to return him to power? That just dawned on you recently, bro?

Convicted felon President Trump’s regime is launching investigations into the use of DEI in hiring and promotions at major companies including Google and Verizon, using a federal law meant to punish businesses that cheat the government, the Wall Street Journal reports more of this stupid bullshit.

Towns along Michigan’s Upper Peninsula into Wisconsin’s Lake Superior shoreline could get the absolute shit kicked out of them on Monday as an incoming storm threatens to churn up waves as high as 28 feet – approaching the all-time record of 28.8 feet recorded in 2017 – MLive.com reports.

There may not be any actual recording Monday as the seasonal buoys required to make such measurements have been pulled – the 2017 highs were recorded in October of that year – but whether or not there’s a new “record,” massive waves coming in the middle of a blizzard are bad freaking news. Lakes Michigan and Huron are also looking at waves up to 18 and 26 ft respectively.

Lake Erie, meanwhile, is looking at 17 ft waves but its shape and position make it susceptible to a seiche, or ongoing back-and-forth slosh that could take days to finally settle down and dissipate.

“I am pleased to announce that the breakout fighting between Thailand and Cambodia will stop momentarily, and they will go back to living in PEACE, as per our recently agreed to original Treaty. I want to congratulate both great leaders on their brilliance in coming to this rapid and very fair conclusion. It was FAST and DECISIVE, as all of these situations should be! The United States of America, as always, was proud to help! With all of the wars and conflicts I have settled and stopped over the last eleven months, EIGHT, perhaps the United States has become the REAL United Nations, which has been of very little assistance or help in any of them, including the disaster currently going on between Russia and Ukraine. The United Nations must start getting active and involved in WORLD PEACE!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday morning.

Maybe this could’ve been like a State Department press release or something instead of calling attention to the fact that if the fat fuck had actually ended the Thai-Cambodian border conflict back in July then their troops wouldn’t have started killing each other again earlier this month. Thus the conflict was never truly “settled” or “stopped” and does not seem likely to be headed that way now.

The former director of Brazil’s Federal Highway Police and one of convicted felon former President Jair Bolsonaro’s top coup attempt co-conspirators Silvinei Vasques was extradited back to his home country on Friday night after his arrest in neighboring Paraguay as he tried to board a flight bound for El Salvador, the Associated Press reports on another L for the far right fascist squad.

Vasques – sentenced to 24 years house arrest for ordering his cops to prevent voters in left-leaning areas from making it to the polls on election day 2022 – had removed his ankle monitor, obtained false Paraguayan documents, rented a car, drove south, and was caught at the gate as he attempted to board the flight. It’s not clear if Vasques had any contact with El Salvadoran dictator Nayyib Bukele’s regime prior to the escape bid or had just assumed – maybe correctly – that they would take him in if he simply showed up. In any event, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre De Moraes responded to Vasques’s attempt by ordering the 10 other co-conspirators who had enjoyed a looser form of house arrest to be placed on 24/7 lockdown in their homes for the rest of their sentences.

“There is no greater injustice than condemning a person for the actions of another,” tweeted Jeffrey Chiquini, attorney for former Bolsonaro advisor Filipe Martins, vowing to appeal De Moraes’s order.

For those who don’t know, the US had negative migration for the half century between the first nonstop transatlantic flight and the moon landing.

…but you know immigrants and non-white people are just, URGH!!!

In a story outlining how convicted felon President Trump’s regime is filled with obnoxious and ubiquitous “main characters,” Axios reports that FBI Director Kash Patel is being particularly derided by his own agents to the point where none of them want anything to do with him in public.

“A source familiar with the planning for one recent FBI operation said it included an unusual topic: what to do if the boss shows up. Patel’s office always sought advance notice for any newsworthy arrests, and agents wondered if he might appear at the scene. They were advised to keep their heads down and not engage, according to the source. In the end, he didn’t turn up,” Axios writes, copied verbatim here as to not mince words over how fuckin embarrassing this is for K$H and America writ large. Middle management seriously told rank and file to ignore their director in public.

It’s the little details like that which truly capture the suckery of the MAGA Reich on their own terms and – this may or may not seem overly shoehorn-y but fuck it – a Friday NYT op-ed by Michelle Goldberg contained a quote from resistance group Protect Democracy director Ian Bassin that really nicely nailed down the failure of Project 2025. Bassin says the next three years are “going to be a rocky period, but I no longer think that Trump is going to pull an Orban and fundamentally consolidate authoritarian control of this country the way that it looked like he was going to do in March or April.” The piece was more about the general, overall headwinds facing Trump’s dictatorial ambitions but the incompetence and utter unfitness of his top minions certainly has not helped.

A Miami-area man, who Local10.com reports is facing two felony charges after having broken into two luxury homes worth $37 million and $12 million while completely naked, may have been drunk and stoned enough to believe that he was invisible and thus needed to shed his clothing so that potential witnesses would not have been alerted to his presence by a spectral floating shirt, pants, and shoes moving into and throughout the adjacent homes on Ocean Boulevard in Golden Beach.

Granted, this is pure speculation on National Zero’s part as there is no arrest affidavit mentioning specifically what if any reason for stripping nude that 26 year-old Vladimir Demidovich disclosed to cops following his apprehension in the garage of one of the homes. It’s just that he’s a registered Republican, broke into homes less than 600 ft away from the small enclave’s police headquarters, and was apparently intoxicated from alcohol as the police said he “consumed beverages” in both houses, although there’s no mention of his being under the influence of any narcotic substances.

So it’s really a highly plausible theory rather than a factual description of Demidovich’s express modus operandi part during his Thursday night burglary mini-spree. He also could’ve just been so fucked up that he simply did not remember why he took his clothes off. But again that’s speculation.

This one kind of flew under the radar, pun not applicable because the radar wasn’t the problem for the Japanese in June 1942. It was that their naval code was compromised and, well that would spoil the ending that you can read on Wikipedia anyway. Midway‘s still a solid movie.

“Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein are found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc.”

“The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans. Release all of their names, embarrass them, and get back to helping our Country! The Radical Left doesn’t want people talking about TRUMP and REPUBLICAN SUCCESS, only a long ago dead Jeffrey Epstein – Just another Witch Hunt!!!” posted a plainly frustrated convicted felon President Trump on Friday.

British officials on Thursday called off the search for two men who had gone missing while jumping into the English Channel on Christmas Day as part of an annual tradition, Sky News reports.

“After extensive shoreline and offshore searches, the HM Coastguard part of the search was stood down at 5pm,” said a Coastguard spokesman, nearly 7 hours after they were called to the scene at 10:25 AM when dozens of locals braved the rough waves near the town of Budleigh Salterton in Devon. It’s not clear why the hell these men actually “swam” when video shows the others simply jumping into the extremely turbulent water and then back out, which was insane enough itself.

Cops urged Brits to avoid swimming on Boxing Day given the “punishing” conditions.

Homeland Security is claiming that more than 17,500 undocumented immigrants with criminal records were captured in the first year of the Laken Riley Act, John Solomon’s shitty site reports, whilst happily carrying the state propaganda. “In honor of Laken Riley, ICE launched Operation Angel’s Honor – in the last 2 weeks alone arresting more than 1,000 criminal illegal aliens under the authority of the Laken Riley Act,” dog-murdering Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement, adding “President Trump has empowered us to arrest and remove the millions of violent criminal illegal aliens unleashed on the United States by the previous administration.”

“Now, these criminals will face justice and be removed from our country. We can never bring Laken back, but we can do everything in our power to bring these heinous criminals to justice. I am so proud of what our brave men and women of ICE have done to remove these criminals from America’s streets,” Noem continued. Unmentioned in this are any specifics, even the names of the actual supposedly violent offenders, let alone people like 22 year-old Marylander Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, now sitting in a Texas ICE gulag while her five year-old boy cries for his mother.

Oh and Diaz Morales was born in Maryland, her lawyer Victoria Slatton showed WBAL her birth certificate and immunization records. “I think this case is concerning to me, because the evidence is overwhelming. Even if there is a discrepancy that we need to adjudicate in court, there is no reason for her to be in detention right now. I thought that it would be cleared up in a matter of hours. I actually used to be a DHS employee. I have a lot of respect for the agency, generally, and I expected them to respond appropriately,” Slatton said following her client’s December 14th arrest.
