A lawsuit filed against the Nevada Secretary of State earlier this Spring in Clark County by MAGA voters who wanted expanded and more intrusive access for “election observers” because “numerous cases were filed across the U.S. alleging election misconduct, fraud, and impropriety” and “numerous allegations of improper ballot counts arose… those allegations centered on the fact that many jurisdictions failed to provide the general public ‘meaningful observation’ of the ballot counting process,” per the complaint, was tossed pretty unceremoniously on Tuesday, with a Las Vegas judge ordering that the policies regulating observers remain as they were in 2020.

The original complaint is a pure exemplar of the cuntishness and arrogance of Trump fanboys and their closed-loop belief system. “Our own feelings that something wasn’t right in that election are all the evidence we need to demand that we be given more opportunity to interfere in vote counting procedures” is basically what they’re saying here. Not only is the “merit” of the case entirely self-generated, but they’re arguing that any asshole could sign up, regardless of any real qualification or experience so they know what the hell they’re even looking at. Women in MAGA hats were literally fucking praying on their hands and knees for God to deliver a victory for Trump outside of the counting center in Las Vegas two days after the 2020 election. You have to have something seriously wrong with you if you think a judge is going to see that and say “Yeah, we should bring that inside while the workers are trying to tabulate the vote.”

Lovably moronic and unhinged Newsmax host Greg Kelly, a former Marine combat pilot and national NBC News host, is evidently under the impression that the “Platinum Jubilee” is celebrating Elizabeth II’s 70th birthday. Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne of Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Belize, Jamaica, and so on and so forth at age 25 in 1952.

Republican Pennsylvania gov candidate and QAnon fan Doug Mastriano has agreed to share some documents and testify to the House January 6th Select Committee, Politico reports. Why exactly a guy who wants to appeal to his hardcore MAGA base would cooperate with an “illegitimate with hunt” is unclear, but Dougie is one of the very few current or potential witnesses who participated in both ends of the committee’s investigative purview: the “Stop the Steal” machinations of the MAGA Reich after the election and the Capitol riot itself (though there’s no evidence yet that he actually committed a crime during the insurrection).

“To my knowledge none of those shootings were done with a, any kind of a, Armalite Rifle or an AK or anything like that so, uh, it’s a systemic problem,” declares Elmer Fudd cosplayer Republican Missouri Congressman Billy Long.  “When I was growin’ up in Springfield, you had one or two murders per year.  Now you have two, three, four a week in Springfield, Missouri so something has happened to our society; I, I go back to abortion, when we decided it was okay to murder kids in their mothers’ wombs, ah, life has no value to a lot of these folks.”

For the fifth time in eight days, a mass shooting in a Red State has ended in death.  This time, at the Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Some updates:

• A Tulsa City Council member told The Oklahoman the shooter was targeting a specific person, with some reports saying he was looking for a doctor who wasn’t at the hospital Wednesday.
• The shooter used a rifle and a handgun.  The types of weapons have not yet been specified.
• The shooter, reported to be between 35 and 40, took his own life.
• Four people were murdered by the shooter.
• An Oklahoma Highway Patrol bomb squad were called to a home in Muskogee after getting a report that the shooter left an explosive in the house, but bomb-sniffing found no trace of explosives.
• Because no national television cameras are covering it live, Ted Cruz has not rushed to the scene.

Concerns are increasing over a brewing confrontation for supremacy over the Republican Party and the 2024 GOP presidential nomination that could turn destructive or even deadly between former President Trump and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis. A lot of people are saying – and these are smart people too – that DeSantis sees Trump as a threat and could launch a preemptive strike on Mar-a-Lago using Florida law enforcement or state militia. It’s very concerning because DeSantis is an evil little weasel and former President Trump doesn’t have any power to stop him from ordering his goons to stage an armed raid on Mar-a-Lago. He’s completely defenseless.

People are concerned DeSantis could easily order his judges to sign a warrant saying there are drugs or human trafficking victims hidden at the Trump-owned beach club. Like a SWAT team, all of them loyal to DeSantis, cutting the power, rolling in tear gas canisters, deploying flash bangs, safeties unlocked because the fat suspect trapped naked inside the orange spray tan booth is hiding a 9mm in the fold under his left man boob. There’s no telling what could happen in such a volatile situation. It could be Waco 2.0 or Ruby Ridge 3.0 in there. It’s really concerning.

DeSantis knows this and it’s probably only a matter of time. This concern should be expressed to Conservative internet users who may not be aware or fully informed over the concerns that literally any day now there could be a news story about federal investigators picking teeth up from the ashes where Mar-a-Lago once stood to try to match them to dental records. We encourage readers to add additional, similarly gruesome details when illustrating these concerns. The only way to get these folks concerned is to appear concerned too. A lot of people will be saying this.

The California Reparations Task Force released a 500-page report Wednesday that calls for “comprehensive reparations” for generations of discrimination against Blacks that has led to a wealth gap that continues to expand over generations, the Washington Post reports.

Systemic racism, some of it government sanctioned, such as redlining, Jim Crow laws, lack of investment, educational disparity, and geographically-based aid programs, has supported the economic separated Blacks and other populations in California.

“Segregation, racial terror, harmful racist neglect, and other atrocities in nearly every sector of civil society have inflicted harms, which cascade over a lifetime and compound over generations,” the report said.

“…anything that really matters.  They want to focus as much attention as possible on anything that promises to harm Russia and on the final analysis, Russia is going to come out of this looking pretty good,” says Russia advocate and Fox analyst (which may be redundant) Doug MacGregor.  “Aaah, Ukraine, on the other hand, is destroyed and effectively a failed state.”

Stunned–which looks to be a permanent state for the Hungarian Tourism Director and man who never met a white nationalist he didn’t like–Tucker Carlson mutters, “Remarkable,” like he knows that the word means.

The Biden Administration will cancel all outstanding student loan debts accrued by students of Corinthian Colleges, one of the largest for-profit education companies that declared bankruptcy in 2005, CNBC reports.  The loan forgiveness will impact more than half a million former students, removing $5.8 billion in debt.

Before its bankruptcy, Corinthian had been accused of predatory lending practices whereby it would get its students to apply for excesses student loans so it would enrich its bottom line, knowing that the students wouldn’t be able to finish coursework or would be enrolled in useless classes.  They preyed upon people who could get loans through the VA or other government programs.

“As of today, every student deceived, defrauded, and driven into debt by Corinthian Colleges can rest assured that the Biden-Harris administration has their back and will discharge their federal student loans,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement.

ACTIVE SHOOTER UPDATE: We can confirm 4 people are deceased, including the shooter, in the active shooting situation at St. Francis hospital campus.

An unknown number of people have been shot–with the extent of injuries unknown–at a mass shooting at St. Francis Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  The shooter has been reportedly killed.  Information from KTUL ABC-8 in Tulsa.

Although he called the state legislature into special session to address vital, life-threatening things like critical race theory and the LGBTQ agenda that’s not being taught in school, Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott has refused demands by Democrats to call a special session to address school shootings and gun violence rampant in the state, Newsweek reports.

Texas has had 20% more mass shootings than any other state since the beginning of the year, and it also leads the US in the number of 2022 school shootings, with the deadliest–last week’s slaughter of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde–being the most recent.

Instead of addressing the proliferation of guns in Texas or the ongoing gun violence, Abbott has directed the legislature to form a special committee, at their convenience, to examine school safety, mental health, social media, police training and firearm safety.

The Biden Administration will ship four MQ-1C Gray Eagle drones, capable of carrying Hellfire high-explosive missiles, to Ukraine to provide the Ukrainian forces with additional firepower to battle invading Russian forces, according to Reuters.

The Gray Eagle, made by California-based General Atomics, has a maximum flight time of 36 hours, meaning it can linger over an area for an extended period of time to wait for a specific target or to direct an attacks on targets of opportunity.  It’s maximum flight distance is 200 nautical miles, and it can carry up to eight Hellfire missiles.

Ukrainians have made effective use of various types of drones, from homemade versions constructed by newly inspired defenders to US-made RQ-20 Puma AE and the Turkish Bayraktar-TB2.  The US has also sent Ukraine scores of “kamikaze” Switchblade drones that dive into targets.

United Airlines has agreed to transport Kendamil formula free of charge from Heathrow Airport in London to multiple airports across the country over a three-week period — the first Operation Formula Flight to be donated by an airline carrier.

Wow! This is great! Can’t wait to see all the Republicans grudgingly admit that President Biden works hard to fix problems! Really looking forward to them giving him the props he deserves!

Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook’s parent company Meta, announced that she will step down after fourteen years with the social media company–and an industry–that has undergone significant changes during her tenure, the Associated Press reports.

Having joined Facebook from Google in 2008, Sandberg was the second-in-command of an organization that went from a fledgling social media company to a media powerhouse through acquisitions and service additions.

“When I took this job in 2008, I hoped I would be in this role for five years. Fourteen years later, it is time for me to write the next chapter of my life,” Sandberg wrote on her Facebook page, forgoing the current trend of making major announcements on Twitter, where people see them.

Charles Booker, the Democratic nominee for the Kentucky Senate seat currently held by Rand Paul, launched an ad attacking Rand Paul for being the sole member of the Senate to block passage of an anti-lynching bill. With images of historic lynchings–and appearing with a noose around his neck–Booker recounts the history of lynching as a way to keep Black people in check by racist whites.

“Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) El Paso, the Texas Department of Public Safety and numerous other federal, state and local agencies located and recovered 70 missing children as a part of a three-week operation in West Texas. ‘Operation Lost Souls’ ran from the end of April through mid-May in El Paso, Midland and Ector and Tom Green counties. The missing youth, many of them runaways, ranged in age from 10 to 17. The children recovered included victims of sex trafficking, and physical and sexual abuse. The majority of the children were located in West Texas, but some were located in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex as well as the state of Colorado and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The agencies provided victim services and counseling to the recovered children and their families. ‘Operation Lost Souls exemplifies Homeland Security Investigations’ commitment to protecting the public from crimes of victimization,” says a DHS press release.

DHS did not mention if they’d received any tips or assistance from fans of QAnon, a right wing cult purportedly dedicated to rescuing children from sex traffickers. QAnon adherents Lauren Boebert, Mike Flynn, and Marjorie Taylor Greene were not mentioned in the press release as having personally participated in the raids on locations where these sex trafficked children were being held. DHS did not commend the bravery of any “patriots” like Republican governor candidates Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania or Kari Lake in Arizona for their advocacy of abused children. Mike Lindell did not send a truck full of pillows and blankets to where the children are being sheltered by DHS.

It’s not even clear if any QAnon cultists still even pretend to give a fuck about victimized childrens as it seems less and less of their content of late contains such pretenses and just skips to the parts about mass executions, secret advanced technology controlled by Jews, holograms of JFK Jr, hidden underground alien bases, the health benefits of piss drinking, and so on and so forth.

The blurred out words are either too profane/offensive to print or some miscellany better kept hidden from the racist MAGA trolls. The ones at the bottom circled in red are today’s special new additions and will be removed after an unspecified cooling-off period. You’re welcome.

Three cases of really gross skin disease monkeypox have been confirmed in Florida, another sign that Gov Ron DeSantis is not up to the job, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. It happened on his watch, so he’s responsible. DeSantis was too busy making shit up about Disney and secretly planning to arrest former President Trump to pay attention to public health and sanitation. That reptile-infested hellhole is getting worse every day that he’s been in charge. His policies let this happen. Enough is enough, Florida needs to elect a taller, monkeypox-free governor in November.

John Hinckley, Jr., the man who shot President Ronald Reagan and three others in a 1981 assassination attempt in Washington, DC has been granted his unconditional release from prison by a federal judge, CBS News reports.

After federal prosecutors, the defense team and a series of mental health professionals testified that Hinckley was not a threat to himself or others, Judge Paul Friedman, a senior judge for the US District Court in Washington, DC, said the decision to release Hinckley was not done in haste and that the 67-year-old had fulfilled his obligations for release.

Hinckley shot Reagan as the President left a Washington hotel in April 1981, months after being inaugurated.  Hinckley cited an obsession with actress Jody Foster as his motivation for shooting Reagan, hoping that the act would win over her adoration.  In the shooting, Hinckley hit a Secret Service agent and a DC Metropolitan police officer on the scene.  He also shot Reagan Press Secretary James Brady in the head; Brady later became a champion for gun control legislation.
