Republican Georgia gubernatorial candidate Kandiss Taylor went with a high-production value for this campaign ad, ’cause a video featuring guns, God, a kid and fishin’ is exactly how Georgians want to be represented.

“Wonderful patriot Sarah Palin of Alaska just announced that she is running for Congress, and that means there will be a true America First fighter on the ballot to replace the late and legendary Congressman Don Young. Sarah shocked many when she endorsed me very early in 2016, and we won big. Now, it’s my turn! Sarah has been a champion for Alaska values, Alaska energy, Alaska jobs, and the great people of Alaska. She was one of the most popular Governors because she stood up to corruption in both State Government and the Fake News Media. Sarah lifted the McCain presidential campaign out of the dumps despite the fact that she had to endure some very evil, stupid, and jealous people within the campaign itself. They were out to destroy her, but she didn’t let that happen. Sarah Palin is tough and smart and will never back down, and I am proud to give her my Complete and Total Endorsement, and encourage all Republicans to unite behind this wonderful person and her campaign to put America First!” says the fat bastard in a statement that was again posted through his spokesworm Liz Harrington on Twitter and not Truth Social.

Former President Barack Obama will pay a visit to his former second in command President Joe Biden’s White House on Tuesday for a joint event promoting Obamacare, NBC News reports.

Right wing provocateur and trashy car salesman–who claims to be able to vouch for the veracity of Madison Cawthorn’s claims about cocaine-fueled orgies in Washington, DC from “first hand” experience–Roger Stone says that he’s getting censored by Truth Social, the new platformed created by Donald Trump’s company which claims to be an Eden of free speech.

The Daily Beast reports that Stone had the photograph of a campaign button from Trump’s failed 2000 presidential campaign as a Reform Party candidate covered over by a warning that read, “Sensitive Content:  This content may not be suitable for all audiences.”

The photo was grotesque in its own way–as a memento of Trump’s first foray into politics–but it was in no way pornographic or violent.  Perhaps the app’s AI determined that the image would be offensive to Donald Trump for reminding him that he is and always will be a loser.

More than 3,000 flights around the United States were canceled this weekend, primarily due to storms violent weather along the East Coast causing shut downs and delays at many major airports, NBC News reports.

JetBlue, Southwest, Alaska Airlines, Frontier, Spirit and American Airlines were most affected, with airports from Florida to Baltimore shutting down at various times due to heavy rains and high winds.

While some domino effect delays are still occurring as airlines shuffle planes to prepare for routes, most delays were remedied by Sunday afternoon.

One of the top two eastern European autocrats favored by Fox host Tucker Carlson has won reelection:  Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a nationalist authoritarian whom Carlson praised during his trips to the nation, was reelected to fourth term.  Orban’s Fidesz party leads the vote with 55.7% of votes versus 32.5% for Peter Marki-Zay’s six-party opposition alliance.

Reuters reports that Orban’s odds of winning plummeted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but Orban then changed messaging to say the opposition alliance led by moderate Marki-Zay would drag the nation into war with Russia.

Orban stated that Marki-Zay’s proposals to strengthen Western connections would pull Hungary, which shares a small portion of its border with Ukraine, into war with Russia if Hungary was used as a transit to supply arms to Ukraine.

A 60-year-old man received dozens of coronavirus vaccines so he could get authentic proof of inoculation cards which would list authentic vaccine batch numbers that he would used on forged cards, the Associated Press reports.

The man was arrested at a vaccination center when he showed up two days in a row to get a vaccine.  Subsequent doses of the vaccine should be taken 28 days after the first shot, in most cases.  Police found the man carrying a stack of forged vaccine cards.

About 72% of Germans are fully vaccinated, and a significant percentage of the population are right-wing conspiracy theorists with anti-government views who have protested vaccine mandates and public health regulations.  Because of the 28% unvaccinated, Germany has experienced a new spike in cases, with more than 70,000 new cases reported Sunday.

Two Russian soldiers died and hundreds were sickened after eating pies and other goods fed to them by Ukrainian locals in the town of Izium near Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, effectively incapacitating an entire enemy division, the UK Evening Standard reports.

The two soldiers died immediately after eating the pies, and more than two dozen remain in intensive care.  An additional 500 troops were being treated for severe alcohol poisoning, likely coming from beverages and spirits spiked with a lethal chemical.  The move virtually decimated the 3rd Motor Rifle Division, which has 10,000 men.

Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine released a statement about the action:   “According to available information, local residents of the Izium district (Kharkiv region) ‘treated’ Russians from the 3rd Motor Rifle Division of the Russian Federation with poisoned pies.  As a result, two occupiers died at once, another 28 were taken to the intensive care unit. Their current state is being clarified.  About 500 more servicemen of the 3rd Motor Rifle Division of the Russian Federation are in hospitals due to severe alcohol poisoning of unknown origin.”

MyPillow assclown told RSBN on Saturday that TV stations will not air any ads for MyPillow if his mustachioed, white nationalist propaganda-spewing face appears in them. “I had 12 TV stations just the other day now say that I couldn’t be in the commercials. I cannot personally be in them,” Lindell told the white nationalist propaganda network while in Michigan for the big Trump cult rally.

“They want my voice stopped,” Lindell said, adding “Believe me, they cancel, they will never get to sell my product again.” Lindell has spent an estimated $25 million of his own personal net worth trying to overturn the 2020 election and has gotten absolutely jack shit in return for it, with the low point coming in the August 2021 “CyberSymposium” election-hacking conspiracy fest for which he was brutally mocked after cybersecurity experts present pointed out the supposed data proving the results of 2020 election were altered through electronic means was garbage.

Police in Riverside, New York were called to the parking lot of a beer distributor early Sunday morning to handle a baby seal that had wandered out of the Peconic River, Newsday reports. The three month old grey seal was promptly apprehended without being clubbed to death and instead placed in the custody of the New York Marine Rescue Center in nearby Riverhead for medical evaluation, after which it will be released… Or not, because there is an aquarium there.

“Consequent upon dissolution of the National Assembly by the President of Pakistan, in terms of Article 58(1) read with Article 48(1) of the Constitution Of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, vide Ministry of parliamentary Affairs’ No. SRO 487(1)/2022 dated 3rd April, 2022, Mr. Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi ceased to hold the Office of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, with immediate effect,” says the order of the National Assembly following the no confidence vote on Sunday.

Earlier Khan signaled he may not accept the vote and just tell the Assembly to fuck off because America. “How can I accept the result when the entire process is discredited? Democracy functions on moral authority. What moral authority is left after this connivance? The move to oust me is blatant interference in domestic politics by the United States,” said Khan.

British Conservative Member of Parliament David Warburton has been suspended by the party pending an investigation into allegations he conducted like a Republican member of the United States Congress by snorting cocaine, sexually assaulting women, and taking a £100,000 loan from a Russian businessman that he failed to disclose, the Sunday Times reports.

Yeah, that’s cocaine

Really the only thing Warburton is missing is connections to a far right white nationalist militia that wants to start a race war. And who knows, it’s still early on in the scandal. This could be good news for US Congressman Madison Cawthorn too since it potentially gives him an out from the hot water he’s been taking from GOP leadership over his claims older Republicans invited him to participate in cocaine fueled sex orgies. “Oh yeah, well that guy was the one who called me said he was a Conservative and he was cool and everything. He, um, called me and I thought he was from Vermont or whatever because of the accent and he was the one who offered me the key bumps and invited me to the sex orgy. I was confused so it’s all good,” Cawthorn could say.

Six people are dead and at least nine are injured after a shooting rampage early Sunday in downtown Sacramento, California, the Associated Press reports. The violence occurred in the vicinity of the Golden One Center, home to the Sacramento Kings, police said, but few other details were made public including the number ans status of shooters and possible motivations.

Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, once referred a person believed to be a foreign agent by White House security for a job in the White House during the Trump Administration, The Daily Beast reports.

Thomas would meet regularly with Donald Trump in the White House, giving him lists of people he should hire or fire based on who she and her associates thought were loyal or disloyal to Trump.  Her meetings, many in the White House residence, would typically lead to Trump tirades about disloyalty, staff said.

The lists of recommendations from Thomas were dutifully sent to the Presidential Personnel Office, the White House office responsible for vetting potential presidential appointments.  In one instance, Thomas suggested Trump hire a person suspected of being a foreign agent for a White House job.

Setting an example for other nations in the European Union, Lithuania has cut off all imports of natural gas from Russia, its largest supplier, and will instead rely on supplies from other nations, the New York Times reports.

European nations import 40% of their natural gas from Russia, and they are looking for ways to compensate for that supply so they can further isolate Russia, which invaded Ukraine one month ago.  Although it is not a major importer of Russian gas, Lithuania’s decision to cut off Russian imports is seen as a significant geopolitical move for the one-time Soviet republic.

“If we can do it, the rest of Europe can do it too,” Gitanas Nauseda, Lithuania’s president, said on Twitter on Saturday.

According to a senior officer in the Ukrainian military, the Russians have withdrawn from the region around Kyiv and the area is no longer under Russian control, the Washington Post reports.

Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said the Russian withdrawal has uncovered savage scenes in the areas they controlled.  Bodies of civilians still lay in the streets of Bucha weeks after the Russians conquered the city, with others put in mass graves.

The President and First Lady commissioned the latest US Navy vessel to bear the name of their home state, the Virginia-class fast-attack submarine U.S.S. Delaware, at the port of Wilmington, Politico reports.

“As the commander in chief, I believe it is our sacred obligation as a nation to prepare and equip those troops that we send into harm’s way and to care for them and their families when they return home,” President Joe Biden said.  The First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, was the sponsor of the vessel.

The U.S.S. Delaware has a unique place in naval history:  because of the pandemic, the official commission occurred in 2020, while the vessel was submerged and conducting a training run.  Today’s ceremony was a formality.
