Florida federal Judge Kathleen Williams on Monday nuked convicted felon President Trump’s rigged settlement with the IRS, quashing both the $1.776 billion “weaponization fund” that supposedly was already dead AND the exemption from future audits for the fat bastard and his family.

“The Court determines that Plaintiffs improperly employed this lawsuit to justify a particular award in this matter—access to taxpayer funds and exemption from audits and other investigations – which was accomplished by leveraging control over Defendants,” wrote Williams.

“The Hormuz Strait is OPEN, and will remain OPEN, with or without Iran. We are reinstating the THE IRANIAN BLOCKADE, so named because it is only stopping Iran’s ships or customers from entering or leaving. All other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait. The USA will be, from this point forward, known as ‘THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT,’ but as such, and as a matter of FAIRNESS, will be reimbursed, at the rate of 20 percent on all cargo shipped, for any and all costs necessary to do the job of providing safety and security to this very volatile section of the World.”

“The process and formation will begin immediately,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday and yeah, it does seem significantly more deranged and delusional from an octogenarian who already wasn’t all there to begin with. How the fuck does this idiot think this is going to work? Is the US Navy going to be boarding and inspecting every single goddamned ship that passes through to check its cargo manifest and print an invoice to each captain? They going to have a little Square Pay terminal on hand so the skipper can tap his MasterCard or AMEX and process the fee? Will the tips to the enlisted sailors on the boarding team at least be optional if a vessel is carrying under 5,000 gross tonnes of cargo? Do they have to pool those tips with everyone else in CENTCOM?

Oil prices immediately spiked over $75 a barrel of Brent Crude in the minutes after the post.

Early reports indicate that a person of unknown name, gender, and nationality has been shot dead in the town of Biddeford, Maine on Monday, WMTW reports on the second fatality at the hands of the MAGA stormtrooper corps in under a week following the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, an unarmed 52 year-old father of three driving a work van, in Houston on Wednesday.

“A person was killed. ICE was involved. State Police and the Department of Public Safety are now on scene to gather details and would expect the FBI to investigate as well. These are the details that I have at this time. I will provide further updates, as they are relayed to me,” said state House Speaker Ryan Fecteau in a statement on Monday morning, also confirmed by local cops.

Maine was supposed to be off-limits to ICE per Trump Administration due to Senator Concern Lady’s reelection campaign which was like 50-50 even with a credibly accused rapist opponent.

Calling into his favorite morning show, convicted felon President Trump on Monday remembered his dear friend Lindsey Graham as a 2016 GOP presidential primary loser and later briefly a crusader for justice after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol that left five people dead. Trump for a bit swerved into “election integrity” issues again and complained about the Los Angeles mayoral race but largely stayed on track with shading the very recently-departed Republican senator.

Cops in the UK’s Devon and Cornwall region on Monday confirmed in a press release that the national counterterrorism police are “now leading the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe. Specialist officers from across the CTP network have been working alongside colleagues in Devon and Cornwall Police since a murder investigation was launched last week. Officers were called to Miss Widdecombe’s home at Haytor, Devon, by the ambulance service at around 11.40am on Thursday 9 July.” They kind of left out the “potential motive” part since Widdecome served as a spokeswoman for the revanchist reich-y ReformUK party. 

“Sadly, 78-year-old Miss Widdecombe was located deceased within the property. She had sustained serious injuries. A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday 11 July. New information and evidence has come to light during what has been a dynamic and complex investigation and as a result, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) is now leading the investigation. The man in custody has since been re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.”

Convicted felon President Trump’s Acting Director of National Intelligence Bill “Fannie Man” Pulte will in the coming weeks release what MS Now reports are “thousands of pages of classified intelligence and law enforcement documents” that Trump and Pulte believe are “evidence of irregularities in US elections,” in the usual go-to move for generating content for dogshit right wing media outlets to tell their audience that the whole evil plot has been exposed and will come crashing down, just wait.

“I have no fear of anything being released. We already know what happened in 2020. That’s the most scrutinized election in world history,” said David Becker, a former Justice Department voting rights attorney. “I do have a fear that the White House and the federal government has become perhaps the primary amplifier of disinformation that seeks to delegitimize American democracy in our election process,” Becker added, speaking to the actual practical effects of such a move, that the reich self-generates their own justification for interfering in key states and jurisdictions.

A wildfire at 800 hectares and growing south of France’s capital of Paris, described by officials as “virulent” and of “exceptional scale,” has prompted the closure of the country’s main north-south highway and forced delays of as much as six hours on its rail network amid a deadly heatwave, the BBC reports.

Never one to sincerely mourn the death of a supposed friend in a normal, human way, convicted felon President Trump on Sunday told NBC’s Kristen Welker that he spoke to Lindsey Graham just minutes before his sudden death overnight and that it was all about the SAVE America Act, Trump’s ongoing tantrum over “election integrity” that will still never pass no matter who replaces Graham.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham has died at age 71 after a “brief and sudden illness” his office announced at 2:02 AM on Sunday. There were no further specifics on the illness.

Tehran on Saturday declared the Strait of Hormuz closed again after firing on a ship and inflicting heavy damage on it, Axios reports on Trump’s mission accomplished.

Convicted felon President Trump is not having fun this Saturday. In fact you could say he’s downright miserable based on this very lengthy Truth Social Post: “It’s incredible! I win the Election IN A LANDSLIDE against the entire Dumocrat Party, and almost 100 percent negative news – I won 86 percent of the Counties in America, 2,750 to 525, won the Electoral College, 312 to 226, was the first Republican in decades to win the Popular Vote, and decisively won all seven Swing States, all 50 States shifted toward the Republican Party for the first time, EVER – and I had to run against not one Candidate, but two, Sleepy Joe and Kamala, which has never happened before, against almost 100 percent negative press and Fake News, all of them willing to do anything that I lose – and yet especially Maggot Hagerman, one of the most unattractive people in the News ‘Business,’ and her lightweight assistant, Jonathan Swan, and The Failing New York Times itself, which spends all of its energy on negative stories about me. All I do is WIN, often against all odds but, after the Big Election Success, there’s no, ‘Gee, he won, he did a great job!’ There’s no saying, ‘Maybe we were wrong about him, the people were right’ or, maybe, ‘Congratulations, we wish you Great Success for our Country!’ No, but after I won the Election FOR THE THIRD TIME, the same people start immediately, all over again – The Failing New York Times, The LOST ITS WAY Wall Street Journal, MSDNC (They changed their name to MSNOW because nobody was watching!), Ignorant CNN, with some of the Worst No Name Anchors in History, and all three Fake Networks, ABC, CBS, NBC.”

In a statement Saturday during his father’s lengthy, multi-day funeral ceremonies, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei vowed revenge against America’s Supreme Leader Donald Trump, saying “we will take revenge for your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two wars from the criminal and disgraced killers,” per Tehran’s state media outlet via CNN.

“These criminals, whose names from top to bottom are known and documented, will take their wish for a peaceful death in old age and in their beds with them to the grave. They must know that this matter does not depend on my existence or that of other officials,” Khamenei said. Not really sure what the hell that flexibility part makes any sense. “Revenge is the demand of our nation.”

“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the US Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!” posted the Orange Ayatollah on Friday night.

Iowa MAGA Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, the party’s current Senate nominee, has made as much as $7 million since getting elected, according to an analysis by Meidas News.

Former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s mom tells the Daily Mail that her plastic-faced daughter and her bizarre sex freak of a husband have finally agreed to stop pretending and are getting a divorce. “It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,” said Corinne Arnold, adding that Byron has already moved out of the family ranch.

Worth noting that Kristi’s effing of longtime Trump goon Corey Lewandowski has been a longtime open secret, like five years now, even while she was still governor of South Dakota but it’s only happening after Byron got outed as a “bimbofication” freak. Could also say a lot about how Kristi feels about her future prospects in politics, that there’s no point in keeping up appearances.

“You get a golden ticket, and using taxpayer dollars, you're an American citizen the rest of your life using our benefits, our dollars. It's outrageous, it's ridiculous.”

When was the last time a Democrat went on MS Now and hyped up a bill to abolish ICE or create a universal childcare system or whatever and then act like it’s going to pass both chambers and get signed into law? Maybe you can come back with a handful of examples but is it really something that happens every day?

“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97 percent with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats. The Act states, quite simply, that to Vote a person must show PHOTO VOTER ID, PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE CROOKED, CORRUPT, AND DESTABILIZING MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPTIONS for Military, Disabled, Illness, and Travel!).”

“THE SAVE AMERICA ACT’S non-passage is CRAZY, and a serious threat to any politician who votes against it! If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this, and every other Bill that true Republicans have ever dreamt of (In addition to the upcoming Budget BOMB and the 1929 catastrophic style DEBT CEILING BILL!). The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour – And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again! The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, evidently committed to the political kamikaze of doing jack shit about housing costs to prioritize other means of cataclysmic self-sabotage.

Switching things up by doing something actually useful, the US House of Representatives next week will vote of a bill to make Daylight Saving Time year-round, Reuters reports but without details on when it come into effect were the bill to pass the Senate and be signed into law this summer.

Probably not a great idea to shoot for this November, as welcome as it would be to finally fucking end this charade. Less than four months’ turnaround could wreak havoc on IT infrastructure that for 19 years has been coded to skip or add an hour at specific intervals – and that’s when people actually want to do it since PCs and phones will require software updates that people ignore or delay the prompts to install. Maybe better to just have one last year of daylight saving dumbassery.

Bravely anonymous per usual, an unnamed House Republican tells Politico that convicted felon President Trump’s failure to end the war with Iran that he started was predictable all along. “He and the Iranian leadership share many common traits: survival and control and self enhancement drive both,” said the congressworm, adding that members had been concerned all along that the “memorandum of understanding” would fail. “Midterms are still beyond Trump’s focus zone. Not screwing us might be his goal, but he’s screwing us into political oblivion.”

“A lot of people thought the [memo] would quiet this down until the election,” said Elliott Abrams, Trump’s former special rep for Iran. “But the Iranians overplayed their hand. They seem to be saying we want it all, and we want it all now, and he’s not prepared to do that.”
