In what ISIS says was a protest of “growing crimes by the Chinese government against Uighurs” in the Xinjiang region, the terrorist group on Monday sent a suicide bomber into a Kabul Chinese restaurant to blow himself up along with at least seven of the diners in the place the BBC reports. A Taliban official confirmed the attack, saying one Chinese national was killed along with six Afghans and of course the suicide bomber himself. So yeah, looks like ISIS really stuck it to Xi.

Remember the “Nebraska Walz’s for Trump” and their shitty punctuation? Not all Walzes in the corn-filled state are MAGA as another of the Minnesota governor’s distant relatives, Dem former state Senator Lynne Walz, will be running to challenge shitbag Republican Gov Jim Pillen in November, with an official campaign launch event starting shortly, the Nebraska Examiner reports.

The Supreme Court will on Wednesday hear convicted felon President Trump’s Solicitor General D John Sauer croak and wheeze his way through some convoluted bullshit about why the Orange God Emperor’s divine powers from God permit him to fire Fed Board of Governors member Lisa Cook because of some shit they made up about her mortgage without even trying to prosecute her first.

EU Parliament on Wednesday indefinitely froze approval of a major trade deal with the US before convicted felon President Trump was done with his abysmal speech in Davos, per Bloomberg.

New York federal Judge Paul Engelmayer, who presided over the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, on Wednesday told Congressmen Tom Massie and Ro Khanna his court was not the proper venue as Engelmayer lacks jurisdiction – and Khanna/Massey standing – to enforce the Epstein files act that doesn’t have any clean nexus to a criminal trial from four years ago. It’s not clear why the bipartisan duo had tried to go through Engelmayer’s court to get a special master appointed to surveil the Regime’s handling of the files and publicly report any of the fuckery that is definitely happening.

Engelmayer seemed to say that and that he was sorry he can’t help, writing “For the two reasons above, the Court respectfully denies the Representatives’ motion to participate in this criminal case as amici curiae. This criminal case does not give the Court any charter to supervise DOJ’s compliance with the EFTA. And the motion exceeds the bounds of permissible amici participation.”

“This decision is without prejudice to the Representatives’ right to initiate a separate lawsuit. The Representatives are also, of course, at liberty to pursue oversight of DOJ via the tools available to Congress,” Engelmayer continued. Would be nice if he just wrote the new complaint for them.

Holy fuck he sounds terrible. This is going to go just great.

Best to go in a straight line here so there’s no confusion about the timeline: Florida Capitol rioter Andrew Paul Johnson was not arrested on charges for crimes committed during the insurrection until October 2022, none violent though he did threaten Capitol police. He then in April 2024 pleaded guilty to four counts and in August of that year was sentenced to a year in the joint.

That federal prison bid, as you’re all-too aware, was cut short by Johnson’s Holy Orange Allah’s return to power and subsequent mass amnesty for Johnson and his ilk. It was during that pre-plea stretch in 2024 however, that Johnson sexually molested at least two minors, one of them a then-11 year-old boy. Following his release last year, Johnson contacted at least one of the victims to let him know about the pardon, and he was being awarded $10 million as a result of being a ‘Jan 6er'” and would “be putting (the victim) in his will to take any money left over,” according to a police affidavit.

Obviously that $10 million never materialized, never will, and even if the kid believed Johnson he obviously didn’t think a bequeathment upon the MAGA pederast’s death was soon enough to buy his silence, so yeah, here we are. CBS News reports Johnson goes on trial next month on faces charges of lewd and lascivious child molestation of a child under 12, lewd and lascivious child molestation of a child between 12 and 16, as well as lewd and lascivious exhibition, and transmission of material harmful to a minor. It’s not clear if prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, which is an option.

The point of laying out the timeline was to clarify that Johnson’s vile crimes were committed prior to his 2025 post-pardon release. He also would have been out of the federal lockup by now anyway had Trump not issued the general amnesty to his loyal fanatic insurrectionists. You can say 100 percent accurately say “Trump pardoned a child molester!” but to assign blame to fat Donald for kids being victimized by a sexual predator is simply incorrect… for now. In this specific case.

A new survey of Alaska voters commissioned by the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee finds Dem former Congresswoman Mary Peltola leading GOP Senator Dan Sullivan 49 to 47 percent.

Peltola also edges out Sullivan on favorability at +4 to Sullivan’s negative 5. Normally you can and probably should take a partisan poll by an actual arm of a party with a grain of salt. At the same time, if it were a shitty result they wouldn’t have leaked it. There’s also the other findings, like that convicted felon president Trump has a net +2 approval rating at 49 to 47 in the sample, who in 2024 voted for him 50 to 40 percent, a delta close to his 11 percent margin in the state that year. Peltola, on the same ballot, lost to Republican now-Congressman Nick Begich III by just 2 percent.

A moderator on Reddit’s r/greenland forum on Monday decided he’d had enough from American users who stop by to post their apologies 10+ times a day, writing in a post headlined “To Every American Who’s Sorry” that “We’re getting at least 10 posts a day from Americans apologising, and saying things like they didn’t vote for Trump or don’t support his policies. To be blunt, none of that actually matters. You can say you’re different from the rest of Americans, but to the rest of the world, that distinction doesn’t exist. To us, your country is a single entity on the world stage, and it’s threatening its allies. Think about how you view other countries. For example, Russian opposition doesn’t change what Russia does, because that’s their domestic politics.”

“The same thing applies to the US too, except you had the power to choose your president, and you may still have it. So instead of coming here nonstop to apologise on behalf of your country for your constant need for sympathy, focus on actually changing something while you still can.”

Hmmm… On one hand you can see where he’s coming from in terms of his subreddit being brigaded by American libs when it’s supposed to be by and for Greenlanders and about their local politics and culture. Sometimes moderators just want users to stay on topic, so in the practical sense it’s no doubt annoying as shit to see localized memes about dogsledding and pics of a new brewery in Nuuk being bumped by apologies that are meaningless in terms of impact on Greenland’s future.

Former Burkina Faso junta leader Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba is in troooouuuble as authorities in neighboring Togo on Saturday handed the fugitive over to the current junta Ibrahim Traore – who took power in a coup against Damiba in 2022 – to answer for a plot against Traore, the BBC reports.

God almighty Sean Hanntiy just got fuckin manhandled by Dem Tennessee state Representative Justin Jones who did not give a damn about deference to the host. Key takedown: “All you do is keep fearful because you get paid $45 million a year to keep people fearful so they don’t pay attention to the CEOs taking their healthcare. You don’t care about the American people. You want them to be afraid of immigrants because all you have is fear,” which just might be the first time any Fox News viewers had the reality of their poisonous drug of choice spelled out to them so plainly.

“During her 120-day tenure as Interim United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Lindsey Halligan served with the utmost distinction and an unwavering commitment to the rule of law. By prosecuting the most serious offenders including violent criminal illegal aliens, murderers, and child abusers, Lindsey worked tirelessly to protect the more than six million residents of Eastern Virginia. Democratic Senators weaponized the blue slip process, making it impossible for Lindsey’s term as United States Attorney to continue following the expiration of her 120-day appointment.”

“Despite multiple, unnecessary legal obstacles placed in her path, Lindsey stepped forward at a critical juncture for our Nation and fulfilled her responsibilities with courage and resolve. Her departure is a significant loss for the Department of Justice and the communities she served. While we will feel her absence keenly, we are confident that she will continue to serve her country in other ways. The circumstances that led to this outcome are deeply misguided. We are living in a time when a democratically elected President’s ability to staff key law enforcement positions faces serious obstacles. The Department of Justice will continue to seek review of decisions like this that hinder our ability to keep the American people safe,” says scumbag AG Pam Bondi in a statement.

Translation: “Wah wah wah! I hate Blue Slips! We should be able to confirm whatever incompetent idiots we want and also lie to our own voters that this dipshit who couldn’t even put together a case against Jim Comey and Letita James was actually good at her job! Please don’t fire me too!”

Second Lady Usha Vance on Tuesday announced she’s pregnant with a fourth pollution of white America’s racial purity who’ll hopefully be lucky enough to not have as pumpkin-shaped of a head.

You will not be surprised to learn that, according to Axios, the Trump Regime last week disclosed to a court that the incels Elon Musk hired to fuck up the government may have improperly accessed sensitive Social Security records and shared it with a third party server in violation of a judge’s order.

If you like that then you’ll love this: Axios writes that “At least two DOGE employees, the filing reveals, were in touch with a political advocacy group that asked them to analyze data from state voter rolls as part of its effort to overturn election results. One of the employees signed a ‘Voter Data Agreement’ with the group, according to the filing. It’s unclear what the agreement entailed.”

A now-former salesman at a Hamburg, Pennsylvania Honda dealership is facing charges of terroristic threats and related offenses after reacting poorly to his termination earlier this month, specifically removing his shirt and challenging his supervisor to a fight – possibly in front of customers – and screaming “You’re lucky I don’t throw you through the wall!” WBRE reports.

Tim McFarland, 39, and whose Facebook profile centers his entire identity around his former job, to the point where his name on the platform is literally “Tim Leadcar Honda,” reportedly trashed his desk as he was emptying it out during the unceremonious January 6th firing. It’s not clear what prompted McFarland’s termination and, although his Facebook posts convey urgencies such “Help me reach my goal of 100 reviews by end of October!” those come across as more conventionally anodyne “motivated” than desperate, so poor sales performance does not seem especially likely.

If anything it seems Tim dreads a demotion from Honda to Hyundai more than he does legal issues.

Regime DOJ officials on Tuesday served grand jury subpoenas to Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Gov Tim Walz, and state Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office in search of a crime, Fox News reports to the thrill of their fans who REALLY don’t want to be let down this time.

Amazon CEO Andrew Jassy on Tuesday told CNBC that for real the global megacorporation is raising prices on consumers due to convicted felon President Trump’s stupid fucking tariffs, Axios reports. “Some sellers are deciding that they’re passing on those higher costs to consumers. Some are deciding that they’ll absorb it to drive demand and some are doing something in between,” Jassy said, adding they “don’t have endless options,” given mid-single-digit operating margins for retail.

“If people’s costs go up by 10 percent, there aren’t a lot of places to absorb it,” he said.

“The Alabama State Fire Marshall, Opelika Fire Department (OFD), and the Opelika Police Department (OPD) are currently investigating two separate fires that occurred on January 13 and January 19, 2026, at childcare facilities in Opelika. On January 13, 2026, at approximately 3:23 am, OFD responded to a structure fire at By His Grace Daycare and Learning Center, located at 311 South 6th Street. On January 19, 2026, just after 11:30 pm, Opelika Fire responded to the Children Palace Learning Center, located at 116 Columbus Parkway, regarding a structure fire.”

“Firefighters were able to extinguish both fires, and no injuries were reported in either incident. The initial investigation led to the discovery of glass mason jars filled with accelerant at both locations. Investigators are working to determine if the two fires are linked” says the City of Opelika, Alabama in a press release via WRBL, who report that 140 kids are without childcare due to the arsons.

Now in normal times this being merely felony-level elimination of the competition in a market by the owner of another daycare center would be the first motive that most people would look at. Thing is that Opelika is not a three-daycare center town of 2,000 or so, but a small city of 26,000 and around a dozen daycare centers, plus at least several more in neighboring Auburn, home to the famous sportsball college of the same name. The two establishments that were torched – several blocks apart – do have another one in between them, so maybe the arson cops are calling the nearby non-profit Child Care Resource Center, Inc‘s leadership in for intense rounds of questioning.

Barring that however, we’re left with the disconcerting possibility that an individual or individual(s) who vote for a certain party, are viewers of a certain propaganda network, and believe a certain specific line of bullshit about daycare centers – specifically ones dependent on public subsidies disbursed by the federal government to the states – might have decided “to take the law into their own hands” by torching the two centers that families in a seemingly middle-class-ish neighborhood depend upon. So given that context, yeah it’s worth raising. Never mind that the “empty daycare centers” of course are going to be empty at fucking 3:23 AM and 11:30 PM. The asshole was worried about getting caught throwing his mason jar molotovs, not accidentally burning anyone to death.
