The little mini-stock quotes the Wall Street Journal puts inside their articles after ever mention of a publicly traded company shows Boeing up 0.61 percent as of 11:51 AM EDT on Friday, possibly on the news in one of those stories: Preliminary data from the ongoing investigation indicates that last month’s horrific crash of Air India Flight 171 immediately after takeoff from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad, killing 260 people, was not due to any technical fault in the design of the 787 Dreamliner, but that switches controlling fuel flow to the jet’s two engines were turned off by someone – maybe the crew – which lead to the catastrophic loss of lift.

The disaster being Boeing’s fault would’ve been the last fucking thing they needed at this point.

MAGA podcaster-turned-Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino “is taking the day off today” and “there’s now speculation on whether or not he will return to his job,” unofficial White House HR director and “investigative journalist” Laura Loomer reports, citing Bongino and Director K$H Patel’s “disgust with [Attorney General Pam] Blondi’s lack of transparency and handling of the Epstein files.”

It’s Loomer so if this were her “reporting” then you can and should disregard it. But it’s also Loomer and it could be her publicly greasing her own agitation to get Bondi fired. Not a small amount of MSM reporting from this week corroborates that White House staff – if maybe not Orange God Emperor himself so much – is less than pleased with his dipshit Attorney General with one minion telling CNN that she “bungled the case from the start” (no shit, lol) while another said “It wasn’t the roll out we would have liked.” Still, Donald’s been annoyed but not necessarily with Bondi herself.

“He’s annoyed that people still care about Jeffrey Epstein,” one minion said. “That was him trying to tell his base that it was time to move on,” one “prominent Trump ally” said of Trump angrily snapping at reporter asking about Epstein on Tuesday, adding “we aren’t ready to move on.”

“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was great on FoxNews this morning. Talking about modern weapons and warfare. Thank you also to Brett Velicovich, who really knows his ‘stuff.’ We are really on our way. MAGA!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, a day on which liberal clip guy Aaron Rupar is 100 percent certain that the white nationalist alcoholic Defense Secretary did not do a live appearance on the network, with Rupar writing that Fox “did play a clip of a video Hegseth posted on social media. Perhaps a confused Trump thought it was live.” Jesus Christ, lol.

Trump Immigration Reichfuhrer Tom Homan did a good job Friday of covering both angles about polling numbers showing sagging support for his and his fat orange boss’s inhumane and destructive deportation policies, telling Fox News that “people say, ‘Well, the polls are turning against Donald Trump a little bit on immigration.’ First of all, I don’t believe it. And if the polls have turned at all, it’s because of all the fake news out there, that turns the tide against us a little bit,”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 324.51 points or 0.73 percent, the S&P 500 is down 33.05 points or 0.53 percent, and the Nasdaq is down 60.31 points or 0.29 percent, on Friday in what CNBC credits as MAGAnomics at work for the American people after the new tariffs.

Canadian-born green carder Chris Landry, 46, who has lived in New Hampshire since he was three, tells NBC Boston he isn’t so down with MAGA anymore after being stuck in his native country for nearly a week, prohibited from returning to the Granite State after CBP denied him reentry due to a 2004 conviction for marijuana possession and a 2007 one for driving with a suspended license.

“I was definitely all for Make America Great Again, and having a strong, unified country, and a bright future for my five American children, but now I feel a little differently,” said Landry, who on November 6, 2024 changed his Facebook profile pic to a meme of Kamala Harris standing in front of a red-colored tsunami. “I’ve been torn from my family. My life has been disregarded completely.”

“It’s just very uncertain for me right now,” said Landry, who’s been staying with family in New Brunswick that he had been visiting prior to his denied reentry last weekend. Landry said he was detained for more than three hours with two of his five children at a border checkpoint in Houlton, Maine after the annual trip north. “I might end up spending the rest of my life in Canada. Who knows if I’ll ever have the right to reenter the United States at this point?” Landry continued

“It’s really a living nightmare is what it is,” Landry separately told New Hampshire station WMUR, who also got a statement from Border Patrol on the case. “Possessing a green card is a privilege, not a right, and under our nation’s laws, our government has the authority to revoke a green card if our laws are broken and abused. Lawful Permanent Residents presenting at a US port of entry with previous criminal convictions may be subject to mandatory detention and/or may be asked to provide additional documentation to be set up for an immigration hearing,” said CBP.

During a dinner at the White House late last month, meathead idiot podcaster Joe Rogan privately pushed convicted felon President Trump to ease up on having ICE arresting and deporting non-criminal undocumented immigrants who work honest jobs, the Independent reports.

It’s not clear how Trump reacted but the exchange preceded Rogan ranting on the July 3rd edition of his show, saying “There’s two things that are insane. One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members, not gang members, not drug dealers. Just construction workers. Showing up at construction sites, raiding them. Gardeners. Like, really?” So it probably didn’t go that well.

Sources in the Senate GOP tell Politico there is “rising concern” among their ranks about whether Iowan Joni “Well we are all going to die” Ernst will run for reelection next year, concern that probably wasn’t ameliorated when Ernst’s spokesworm said “Senator Ernst is focused on her work delivering for Iowans in the Senate to make Washington ‘squeal,’ making President Trump’s historic tax cuts permanent through the One Big Beautiful Bill, and advancing a strong NDAA,” without actually saying whether or not she’s running. Another source said Ernst last month privately said she’s still deciding.

WTAF…

WHO the hell is the retarded, out of touch nitwit that is controlling this account?

This is the most BLATANT GASLIGHTING I have ever seen. https://t.co/VkBGvYb5do

Looks like the mini-“controversy” circlejerk over the new Superman movie is over before it could get really circle-y. Plus RedState.com this week printed a piece headlined “There’s a Strong Chance Conservatives Could Lose the Superman PR Battle Against James Gunn” urging fanboys to stand down from their rage over the aforementioned director having the temerity to correctly describe the invincible Kryptonian as an “immigrant.” Which leave plenty of bandwidth for “patriots” like this guy who has turned against his “Superman” to express disgust over this self-cocksucking meme.

“The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that it filed charges seeking an asset freeze and other emergency relief against Newnan, Georgia-based First Liberty Building & Loan, LLC and its founder and owner Edwin Brant Frost IV in connection with a Ponzi scheme that defrauded approximately 300 investors of at least $140 million,” says the SEC in a Thursday statement.

“According to the SEC’s complaint, from approximately 2014 through June 2025, First Liberty and Frost offered and sold to retail investors promissory notes and loan participation agreements that offered returns of up to 18 percent by representing that investor funds would be used to make short-term bridge loans to businesses at relatively high interest rates. The defendants allegedly told investors that very few of these loans had defaulted and that they would be repaid by borrowers via Small Business Administration or other commercial loans. The complaint also alleges that, while some investor funds were used to make bridge loans, those loans did not perform as represented, and most loans ultimately defaulted and ceased making interest payments. Since at least 2021, First Liberty operated as a Ponzi scheme by using new investor funds to make principal and interest payments to existing investors, according to the complaint. The complaint further alleges that Frost misappropriated investor funds for personal use, including by using investor funds to make over $2.4 million in credit card payments, paying more than $335,000 to a rare coin dealer, and spending $230,000 on family vacations,” the statement continued and it’s worth wondering what the hell these guys did to piss off convicted felon President Trump that the freaking SEC is doing something.

Per the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the “First Liberty Notes” were hawked constantly on Hugh Hewitt and Erick Erickson’s stupid radio shows and Brant Frost is MAGA royalty in Georgia, leading what the AJC describes as “a far-right faction that pushes for local party leaders to have the final say over which candidates can qualify as Republicans.” So they fucked something up and got on the Orange Tyrant’s bad side. He sure as hell doesn’t care about them ripping off MAGA voters.

“It is a Great Honor for me to send you this letter in that it demonstrates the strength and commitment of our Trading Relationship, and the fact that the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States. As you will recall, the United States imposed Tariffs on Canada to deal with our Nation’s Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Canada’s failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country. Instead of working with the United States, Canada retaliated with its own Tariffs. Starting August 1, 2025, we will charge Canada a Tariff of 35 percent on Canadian products sent into the United States, separate from all Sectoral Tariffs. Goods transshipped to evade this higher Tariff will be subject to that higher Tariff. As you are aware, there will be no Tariff if Canada, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States and, in fact, we will do everything possible to get approvals quickly, professionally, and routinely In other words, in a matter of weeks” says a letter from convicted felon President Trump to Prime Minister Mark Carney.

“If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 35 percent that we charge. Also, I must mention that the flow of Fentanyl is hardly the only challenge we have with Canada, which has many Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies and Trade Barriers, which cause unsustainable Trade Deficits against the United States.”

“Canada charges extraordinary Tariffs to our Dairy Farmers up to 400 percent and that is even assuming our Dairy Farmers even have access to sell their products to the people of Canada. The Trade Deficit is a major threat to our Economy and, indeed, our National Security!”

What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting.

No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time. https://t.co/OiEtOlKRVL

This Joanna Rodriguez is not just some rando on Twitter but a comms staffer for the NRSC, obviously trying to sink Ken Paxton’s primary campaign against the more electable establishment incumbent John Cornhole Cornyn. What he “put his family through” is still unknown, which leaves two possibilities (1) It’s legitimately, Epstein client list-level bad or (2) It’s not any worse than Pax just simply cheating on his wife again and she’d had enough of his shit, which the NRSC is playing up in a desperate bid to sink him. That Rodriguez isn’t actually saying what it was does kind of point to the second option. She wrote that like she actually knows what it was but keeps it deliberately vague so that if/when pressed she can just say he’s a piece of shit who cheated on his wife.

Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil on Thursday filed a $20 million claim for damages against the Trump administration, alleging Khalil was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as antisemitic after they imprisoned him for months in the gulag, the AP reports.

A “senior Israeli official” tells the New York Times that at least some of Iran’s enriched uranium had survived convicted felon President Trump’s “total obliteration” airstrike last month and that it’s likely accessible to them to recover from the wreckage and, eventually, use to build a bomb.

Texas state Senator Angela Paxton, the shitty country musician wife of Picasso-faced state Attorney General Ken on Thursday announced that “after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose,” Spectrum Local reports. Damn, the “recent discoveries” must be pretty bad since he already cheated on her for who the hell knows how long and with how many different women, lol.

Also damn that she couldn’t fucking wait until Ken beat John Cornhole Cornyn in the primary so that whatever it is could damage him in a general against a Dem. On that note, Punchbowl News reports Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Senate Leadership Fund PAC’s hacks went to the White House on Wednesday night for a private meeting with the Orange God Emperor specifically about the Texas Senate Primary. Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman writes Trump’s political team “are letting the race play out a bit before making a decision about how/whether to engage. They want to see if the double-digit polling gap closes,” the gap being Paxton’s near-prohibitive lead. On Thursday Thune told Punchbowl’s Max Cohen simply “We’re working on it” when asked if he’s worried about Cornyn.

Pam Bondi absolutely did say that there was a client list — not a file, but specifically a client list — on her desk. She has since walked it back, but that does not mean she did not say it. She did; here is the clip: https://t.co/fwHlc2kwM1 https://t.co/RQfXCKBXez

If you’re wondering why it says “x.com/foxnews/status…” where should be a clip of scumbag Attorney General Pam Bondi telling the MAGA propaganda network the Epstein client list was on her desk, it’s because they deleted it at some point in the 13 hours and 35 minutes since their anti-Trump Libertarian contributor Kat Timpf shared it – and about four months after they posted it.

Suffice to say this is some pretty fucked up and stupid shit, like the clip doesn’t exist elsewhere and now they’re just Streisand Effecting it even more by trying to erase Bondi’s ill-advised words.

“A man missing from the state’s north since yesterday has been located. The 19-year-old man left his home in Wooli on a bicycle about 2.30pm yesterday (Wednesday 9 July 2025) towards Wooli Beach. When he failed to return home, concerned family members contacted officers from Coffs/Clarence Police District. Following a land and water search around Wooli Beach including local police, PolAir, Marine Area Command and Marine Rescue, the man was located safe today (10 July 2025) on a small island off Wooli. Police thank the public and media for their assistance,” says New South Wales, Australia Police in a statement a little sparse on details about the missing man.

The Sydney Morning Herald filled in the rest: 19 year-old Darcy Deefholts had gone surfing but was swept out to sea, and was found on North Solitary Island 18 hours later, too dazed to speak.

Acting FEMA Director David Richardson – the stupid asshole who had never heard of a thing called “hurricane season” before being appointed to the role – isn’t even showing up to do the acting, as Politico reports that he has not showed up at all at the Texas site of one of the deadliest natural disasters in years, and his only public-ish appearance this week was for a few seconds at the end of a virtual meeting of a panel appointed by convicted felon President Trump to dismantle FEMA.

Per Politico, “Richardson was in New Orleans on Wednesday as the death toll in Texas hit 120. He was attending a meeting of the panel President Donald Trump created to recommend major changes to FEMA. Richardson, who is not an official panel member, said nothing during the one-hour virtual meeting and was visible for only a few seconds at the end when he was introduced.”

“What began as a quirky ode to pickled foods has officially become a national phenomenon. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend, Picklesburgh returns to Downtown Pittsburgh, July 11–13, with its most talked about lineup yet, including the debut of a one-of-a-kind mechanical pickle ride. Bucking, spinning, and photo-ready, it’s the kind of moment made for headlines and hashtags.”

“Since launching in 2015, Picklesburgh has grown more than tenfold, evolving from a quirky weekend celebration into a signature event on Pittsburgh’s summer calendar and a major driver of Downtown’s economic momentum. The festival has received national recognition from outlets including USA Today, Food Network, Good Morning America, the Today Show,and Delish, and has been named USA Today’s Best Specialty Food Festival four times,” says a press release from the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership that, if the featuring of “The first-ever mechanical pickle ride – a headline-making twist on the classic mechanical bull” wasn’t phallic and lurid enough also touts the return of “fan favorites like the Pickle Juice Drinking Contest and multiple live music stages.”

Batshit insane Florida MAGA Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna on Thursday told Kremlin-paid four-eyed penis Benny Johnson she’s sure that convicted felon President Trump isn’t on the Epstein client list because “they would’ve released it during the election cycle,” the “they” obvious enough.

Just going to self-plagiarize why that’s a pretty bullshit explanation: Say Merrick Garland held a press conference in June 2023 and stood there at the podium with poster-sized copies of the pics of Trump with the faces and breasts of topless underage girls blurred out, holding up a stack of papers saying “These are the files from the FBI’s multiple investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and we have strong evidence that former President Trump was the victim of a blackmail scheme in which he engaged in sexual relations with underage female sex trafficking victims.” Does anyone think Trump fans would have saw that and said “Oh my God. I didn’t want it to be true, but here it is RIGHT in front of me. There’s no way those pics were photoshopped or generated by AI. All this testimony and these financial documents are ironclad. I’m so ashamed I ever supported that fucking monster”?
