A German crew pulled off a pretty kickass bank vault heist in the town of Gelsenkirchen over the weekend, drilling through a wall and making off with anywhere between 10 and 90 million euros worth of valuables stored in safe deposit boxes in the early morning hours, the AP reports.

The gaping hole in the wall of the vault wasn’t discovered until a fire alarm tripped at 4 AM Monday and firefighters responded. Witnesses told cops they saw men walking through an adjacent parking garage carrying large bags at various times over the weekend while cams also caught guys in masks using a stolen vehicle. Local media reports that the heist could be the largest in German history.

The Somali scams have been happening for at least a decade and got bigger and more brazen every year when the authorities like Traitor Tim Walz refused to do anything https://t.co/g2XuZTs1xG

Look libs, just because a semi-trillionaire drug addict with urinary incontinence from years of ketamine abuse is hurling racial invective over an otherwise not particularly remarkable graft story he’s extremely unlikely to have a complete let alone even cursory understanding of doesn’t mean you can just ignore it as a political liability for the Democrats in the midterms.

DC federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson on Tuesday ruled that the Trump Regime is fucking around and trying to do an end run around her orders to not shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, ordering them to stop getting in the way of the Fed funding the bureau’s operations.

Global newswire service Reuters on Monday reported that New Jersey-based firm United Site Services, owner of 350,000 portable toilets, is trying to “wipe” away $2.4 billion in debt, a completely juvenile and inappropriate phrasing to describe a bankruptcy declaration.

Seriously, just grow up and call it a “shitload” of debt. We’re all adults here.

Convicted felon President Trump’s transition team were told days before the fat bastard returned to power back in January that their top immigration obergruppenfuhrer Tom Homan – who by that point had already been named the “border czar” – had months earlier accepted a $50,000 cash bribe from FBI agents posing as private prison contractors, MS Now reports. The information was handed to then-Trump defense lawyer Emil Bove at that late point simply because Homan had refused to submit to an FBI background check before Trump had him set on the federal payroll.

And yeah, Homan’s still collecting a taxpayer salary with no evidence that he was forced to give the $50,000 back to the FBI’s operating budget. Plus who knows how many other bribes he accepted.

A coalition of groups demanding access to ivermectin and other horse medications to treat certain ailments will be holding an action rally outside of New York’s City Hall on Tuesday, ABC 7 reports.

The purposely stupid headline and lede here are still technically true as the noon rally will be put on by advocacy groups including New Yorkers for Clean, Livable, and Safe Streets (NYCLASS) and PETA to call for an immediate halt to horse carriage rides after the owners refused a city-hired equine veterinarian to conduct basic health and welfare exams on the animals stabled in Central Park. The exams weren’t optional as city law now mandates access to the horses, so it wasn’t clear why the hell nobody got a court order and a sheriff’s deputy to allow the vet into the stables. Per ABC 7 the vet nonetheless noted signs of possible neglect of the beasts of tourist burden.

Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani has previously indicated support for both a ban on the carriages as well as authorizing a study on what ABC 7 says is a “decades-old industry,” which is an interesting way of describing a horse-powered transport. Think it might be a little older than a few decades.

Two displays honoring the heroism of Black US Army soldiers who fought to liberate northern Europe from the Third Reich have been removed from an American military cemetery in Margraten, Netherlands the final resting place for roughly 8,300 US soldiers, the AP reports on more of this “anti-woke” bullshit from Pete Hegseth translating into just utterly disgraceful behavior.

One of the panels described the US policy of racial segregation in place during World War II. Which is bad enough to erase but if the stated goal is to deemphasize such history then how the hell do you justify the removal of the other one, the story of 23 year-old George H Pruitt? What’s so “DEI” about simply detailing the life and service of a Black soldier who died attempting to rescue another GI from drowning in 1945 and is buried at the cemetery? Was he some woke activist or something?

“It’s an important part of history,” said Cor Linssen, the 79 year-old son of a Black American soldier and a Dutch mother who grew up in the area, adding “They should put the panels back.”

Turns out that convicted felon President Trump wasn’t lying so much as recklessly opening his fat fucking mouth again on Friday when he told NYC right wing radio oligarch John Catsimatidis that US munitions hit a “big plant or a big facility” on a shoreline in Venezuela as CNN reports that a CIA drone did indeed attack such a target earlier this month. The facility, whatever it was, was deserted at the time and there were no casualties. A source said the attack was “largely symbolic.”

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.
