TACO-ing out after really short Kentucky Senator Rand Paul’s response to the disinvitation to this evening’s annual White House picnic, convicted felon President Trump on Thursday bitchily reversed course yet again, posting “Of course Senator Rand Paul and his beautiful wife and family are invited to the BIG White House Party tonight. He’s the toughest vote in the history of the US Senate, but why wouldn’t he be? Besides, it gives me more time to get his Vote on the Great, Big, Beautiful Bill, one of the greatest and most important pieces of legislation ever put before our Senators and Congressmen/women. It will help to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! I look forward to seeing Rand.”

“The Party will be Great!” the fat bastard added after his ridiculous spin of the reversal.

House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer seems a little extra desperate to regain the relatively high level of clout and attention he had commanded two years ago, now going into “replacement theory” as the motive for the “Deep State bureaucrats” who seized control of the fabled “autopen” to allow more immigrants into the United States who would become Dem voters. Kind of new from Comer, to be honest. Can’t ever remember him openly going all Marjorie Taylor Greene and Andy Biggs like this, even though being a white Southern boy from Kentucky with a thick drawl you have to presume he’s more than just a little bit racist. Whatever he believes he had previously kept to himself.

Drug-addicted billionaire Elon Musk’s company SpaceX has no fewer than three launches set for Friday the 13th of June, the traditionally unlucky day and date that may or may not end like the last three test launches of the Starship model, per NexSpaceflight. Likely working in their favor are that these launches – one each in California, Florida, and Texas – are routine Falcon 9 satellite payloads.

“Los Angeles was safe and sound for the last two nights. Our great National Guard, with a little help from the Marines, put the LA Police in a position to effectively do their job. They all worked well together, but without the Military, Los Angeles would be a crime scene like we haven’t seen in years, Governor Gaven NewScum had totally lost control of the situation. He should be saying THANK YOU for saving his ass, instead of trying to justify his mistakes and incompetence!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday. He obviously didn’t like Newsom’s Tuesday night video address.

Iran’s armed forces on Thursday began conducting drills to prepare for war with the US, Israel, and/or neighboring Gulf states after a “friendly” regional country alerted Tehran over a potential military strike on its nuclear facilities, Al Arabiya reports on more Middle Eastern madness.

An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner bound for London’s Gatwick Airport with 242 passengers and crew on board crashed immediately after takeoff from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Wednesday afternoon local time, the Times of India reports.

Video of the plane – the tank of which would’ve been carrying at least 25,000 gallons of fuel for the roughly eight hour flight – dropping into the city’s Meghani district shows a fireball immediately bursting up from behind trees and homes, making it extremely unlikely for anyone on board to have survived. Really the only question right now is whether anyone on the ground was also killed by the falling jetliner. Hopefully it crashed into an empty field or abandoned industrial site or something.

“President Trump on Wednesday hailed the result of the latest trade talks with China as a great victory, but the best we can say is that it’s a truce that tilts in China’s direction. Details are few, but the countries appear to be resetting their trade relationship to where it was a few months ago before a tit-for-tat escalation. Mr Trump had agreed to reduce tariffs on China to 30 percent (55 percent including those he imposed during his first term) from 145 percent while China dropped its tariffs on US goods to 10 percent from 125 percent,” writes the sometimes MAGA Wall Street Journal op-ed board in a Wednesday piece. Fatass is gonna be pissed if he hears about this one.

Ughhhhhh, it’s even got “🇺🇸 An official website of the United States government” at the top of the single pager. It’s just an “I’m interested form.” If any Canadian, Australian, British, or Kiwi readers want to turn on a VPN, fill in a fake name, and let us know what happens that’d be appreciated.

“I will end the endless wars. They never stop. Again, we had no wars. We had no new wars under your favorite president, President Trump. We had no new – we had no new wars. They thought I was going to start a war. Let me tell you something. I’m going to stop World War III because we’re closer to World War III than we’ve ever been since the end of World War II. I will seal the border and stop the invasion of millions of people pouring into our country illegally. We will totally defeat and we will do this quickly. We will defeat inflation and together, we will bring back the American dream for citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed,” said convicted felon President Trump at a July 27, 2024 MAGA rally in Nashville, just one of many instances he sold himself as the peace president.

On Wednesday every US embassy considered within range of Iranian missiles was evacuated in anticipation of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the Washington Post reports.

Really short Kentucky Senator Rand Paul tells CNN’s Manu Raju that Team Trump informed him Wednesday he and his family have been unvited from the annual White House picnic – which Raju describes as a “a bipartisan event held by presidents of both parties for years” – over his opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill, which Rand calls “petty vindictiveness,” as if that’s new about Trump.

“On 6/6/2025 around 9:18 PM, the Murray Police Department received a call that an individual had intentionally released a raccoon into an open business, and that this person had left the scene.”

“Officers soon located this individual while he was operating his vehicle, and they conducted a traffic stop on him. The individual, later identified as Jonathan Mason (40) of Murray, KY, refused to roll down his windows or exit the vehicle. As a result, officers had to remove Mr Mason from his vehicle. Upon further investigation, it was learned that the raccoon that Mr Mason released into the business bit a person, and that Mr Mason had already been warned that he was not allowed on the property of that business. Mr Mason was arrested and charged with Assault 2nd Degree, Criminal Trespassing 3rd Degree, Resisting Arrest, and Failure of Owner to Maintain Required Insurance 1st Offense; he was lodged in the Calloway County Jail,” says a Facebook post from the Murray, Kentucky Police Department. Was it really trespassing though if it was the raccoon who entered?

Mason’s previous arrest record includes riding a mule while intoxicated in December 2024, and multiple counts of animal cruelty for excessively whipping the mule several days later, per Fox News.

Residents of the Worcester County, Massachusetts town of Paxton – 96.69 percent white – were on “high alert” after a black bear was spotted roaming down a suburban street – presumably one predominantly populated by Caucasians – on Wednesday morning, Boston 25 reports.

No further details on the intrusion by the black bear were printed in the news station’s article.

An Army 82nd Airborne Division noncommissioned officer stationed at Fort Bragg tells Military.com that all the soldiers present for convicted felon President Trump’s Hiterlian Tuesday speech on the base were indeed all self-selected – notifications to the ranks said shit like “No fat soldiers” and “If soldiers have political views that are in opposition to the current administration and they don’t want to be in the audience then they need to speak with their leadership and get swapped out” – and almost certainly by and large didn’t know shit about what’s been going on in Los Angeles.

“I bet none of those soldiers booing even know the mayor’s name or could identify them in a lineup, they’re nonexistent in the chain of command,” the noncom officer said, adding “So, any opinion they could possibly have can only be attributed to expressing a political view while in uniform” when they booed in response to Commander Bone Spurs’ rant about Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass.

Still, the damage is done to morale. “This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution,” said one commander, anonymous for fear of reprisal. “This was shameful. I don’t expect anything to come out of it, but I hope maybe we can learn from it long term.”

Former Hollywood tycoon Harvey Weinstein was convicted again of one count of sexual assault in a Manhattan court on Wednesday, though the jury acquitted him of another and deadlocked on a third but the judge told them to come back and deliberate more on Thursday, Variety reports.

Weinstein – whom convicted felon President Trump described as having been “schlonged” in his two convictions for sex crimes in New York and Los Angeles in 2020 and 2022, respectively. The New York verdict was tossed on appeal last year resulting in this mont’s retrial. He was first sentenced to 23 years in the joint in New York, which was vacated with the first conviction so now he awaits resentencing, and then 16 years in California. It seems fairly unlikely he’s ever going to get out as the sentences in two separate states cannot be served concurrently and the 72 year-old either has serious health problems or was exaggerating them to look sympathetic to a court while still kind of looking like he aged quite a bit more rapidly due to the stress of his downfall. Sucks for him.

“It’s not just happening to me. I mean, it’s happening across the board to several contractors,” says Key West roofing company owner Vincent Scardina as he fought back tears in an interview with NBC 6 after five of his workers were detained by ICE – most of them Nicaraguan refugees with valid work permits. “I know they’re all being hit by this hard. I know of one landscaper that lost nine or 10 of his whole crew he had and he’s just totally out of business all of a sudden, just like that.” Womp womp.

Disney and NBC Universal on Wednesday filed a federal civil copyright complaint against Midjourney AI, accusing the service of stealing their intellectual property by allowing users to crank out fast-generated images of Darth Vader, Spider-man, the Minions, and so on, Axios reports.

Now on one hand maybe there’s an argument that writing prompts to an AI to get it to crank out an image of the Millennium Falcon isn’t all that different from using Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to manually draw that image. On the other, the fact that Midjourney charges $10 a month for a standard subscription means that in theory it’s a selling point that in can crank out the Millennium Falcon, therefore they’re profiting off intellectual property stolen from Disney/Lucasfilm.

You know what also used to be a selling point? Midjourney would crank out pics of real life political figures, and make some really funny stuff, though it could be unwieldy at times.

A new national survey from Quinnipiac University finds convicted felon President Trump’s job approval rating at just 38 percent approve to 54 percent disapprove among registered voters.

Voter satisfaction is godawful as 11 percent of respondents say they’re “Very satisfied” with “the way things are going in the nation today,” and 24 percent “somewhat satisfied” to 17 percent saying they’re “somewhat dissatisfied” and 47 percent “very dissatisfied.” Worse, on “In thinking about your expenses in the past six months, would you say that you are paying more for goods, less for goods, or are you paying about the same amount?” 61 percent said “more” to 28 percent “same.”

Oh and the Big Beautiful Bill’s approval rating is 27 percent to 53 percent disapprove. Just 67 percent of Republican voters approve to 10 percent disapprove, while 22 percent saying didn’t know.

The Committee to Protect Journalists, an American press freedom charity, has established a legal entity in the United Kingdom in what Semafor reports is just that latest in a string on non-profits getting out ahead of potential targeting and dismantling by the Trump regime.
