Commenting on about how a shaving waiver was crucial to his career as an Airman and “an identifier of solidarity with other Black GIs,” 70 year-old veteran Ed Anderson tells NBC News that the recent removal of such carveouts for Black male Marines he doesn’t “see this as a productive and effective means of retaining and recruiting troops,” adding “It’s mostly soldiers of color who are impacted.”

Now, NBC’s reporting is a little fuzzy (pun intended) so best copy it verbatim: “A new US Marine Corps grooming policy that affects people with curly or coarse hair is drawing ire from critics who say it targets Black men. The guidance, issued in March, states that a diagnosis of pseudofolliculitis barbae, or PFB, a skin condition more commonly known as razor bumps or ingrown hairs, could lead to a service member’s expulsion from the branch if the issue persists. The US Air Force also updated its guidance on PFB earlier this year, saying shaving waivers will expire 90 days after an airman’s next annual health assessment. But the requirements for those who may still qualify for a waiver remain unclear.” Which Ed Anderson says is just as yet another example of “ongoing attacks” on whatever white nationalist alcoholic Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says is “DEI” policy.

Dermatologists agree. “This is so targeted and intentional,” said North Carolina skin doctor Chris Adigun, adding PFB “can affect only the way hair follicles appear and does not affect the body systemically in any way.” An active duty military dermatologist, remaining anonymous for fear of purges, said the “readiness” argument Hegseth’s minions are pushing over a minor skin condition is bullshit, and has “nothing to do with readiness… On its face it’s a racist policy, because this is a condition that impacts African Americans and other people of color predominantly just by the nature of hair growth on the face,” the dermatologist said, adding it also “creates a huge administrative burden on a patient,” with paperwork and appointments to have their skin examined.

Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday had it both ways about convicted felon President Trump’s brazen, flagrant acts of corruption with his stupid $TRUMP shitcoin investor dinner – after which some chode told Fortune Magazine he’d been served “Walmart steak” and that “the only good part” of the food was “the bread and the butter.” First it was by saying there’s an “important distinction” between Hunter Biden and the fat fuck because “the Biden crime family earned that title” while “President Trump does everything out in the open… he isn’t trying hide anything,” then it was “Look, I don’t know anything about the dinner. I was a little busy this past week, so I’m not going to comment on something I haven’t even heard about.” Very Schrodinger-y.

That was after Johnson claimed there were a shit ton of people in his home state defrauding Medicaid and warned Republican senators against making significant changes to the Big Beautiful Bill as passed by the House: “It’s best not to meddle with it too much.”

Now-former FEMA Acting Administrator Cameron Hamilton, who was officially canned the day after his May 7th testimony in which he told a House Appropriations subcommittee he did “not believe it is in the best interests of the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,” had actually already had his security clearance revoked and his desk cleaned out prior to sitting for the afternoon hearing, Reuters reports, noting that the new revelation do not track with the White House’s earlier statements that Hamilton had been tossed because of the testimony.

Why the White House thought that was somehow a more politically tenable version of what specifically had prompted the guy’s firing – either way Hamilton was a dead man for being too pro-FEMA – is not clear. “Cameron wasn’t fired for his testimony at that congressional committee hearing. He knew well in advance,” friend Matt Strickland told Reuters. “This is lazy gossip,” a DHS spokesperson said in response to questions about Hamilton’s firing, adding that he’s (supposedly) still actually employed by the Trump Administration, now as a “senior advisor” at the Department of Education, his job apparently focused “on school safety issues and foreign influence on university campuses.” At another major federal agency the Trump Regime is trying to dismantle.

Louisiana 19th Judicial District Judge Tiffany Foxworth-Roberts on Friday admitted to a judicial misconduct court that she did in fact lie about her military service record on the campaign trail, that she had never set foot in Iraq or Afghanistan, nor did she achieve the rank of captain, WAFB reports on a case that as some readers know is becoming something of an obsession given the potential, theoretical implications of elected officials being punished for misrepresentations of their military record to voters, which could (possibly) open the door to broader prohibitions of lying to voters.

Foxworth-Roberts tearfully told the commission panel she takes “full ownership and accountability” for her actions during the lengthy hearing in a New Orleans courtroom. The state Judiciary Commission will render a decision in 30 days on whether to recommend her removal, after which the state Supreme Court will make the final determination on Foxworth-Roberts’s judgeship.

Twitter is almost completely fucked on Saturday morning, Reuters reports, citing DownDetector complaints coming in by the thousands. It’s not clear what the excuse will be, that it was a Ukrainian hacker attack (again) or if George Soros and the WEF are funding it like they funded all those libs throwing molotov cocktails and Tesla cars and dealerships. Should be interesting.

Convicted felon President Trump, aka the “Fertilization President” and the “Father of IVF” on Monday missed a self-imposed 90-day deadline for his scumbag minions to come up with a set of policy recommendations for “protecting IVF access and aggressively reducing out-of-pocket and health plan costs for IVF treatment,” falling far short of his campaign promises to make the procedure either paid for by the government or coverable by insurance providers but he couldn’t even fucking get that done, NBC News reports, opening their story with a military wife who’d been eagerly awaiting it.

“Hearing presidential candidates and the president talking about IVF – those things weren’t happening five years ago or 10 years ago. I’m trying to be hopefully optimistic, but there definitely is that side of me that is skeptical of what is to come,” said Julie Eshelman, who went through five miscarriages and spent $80,000 before finally welcoming a baby girl in 2016. Now she wants to try again but is waiting on the fat fuck to do something, anything, to make it easier. “It’s been a financial burden, but it’s one that we would do over and over again so that we can have our family.”

“As exciting as the executive order was… it doesn’t have any actual actions in it,” said TJ Farnsworth, president of trade group Fertility Providers Alliance and the founder of a chain of fertility clinics, yeah, no shit. Farnsworth says he handed the Trump regime a road map of what to do. Obviously he has interest in a future where taxpayers cover his fees, but this is about whether the Orange Messiah can cash a check he wrote on the campaign trail. He can’t. “We brought to the table a fairly broad set of ideas,” said Farnsworth, even just the basic first step of expanding IVF access within the military for people like Eshelman, something Trump can order. And there’s been nothing.

Whoa. An actual movie about politics and an election that can be embedded here. It’s not the greatest comedy of all time but it is more than serviceable as a 1990s PG-13 laugh-fest.

The Trump Regime has begun the widespread use of polygraph tests across multiple offices and agencies in an effort to flush out those leaking to the media, Reuters reports on what was once thought to be confined to the Department of Homeland Security has been implemented in at least the Departments Justice and Defense, and possibly the Office of Personnel Management as well.

Speaking to Reuters, but on the record, Krazy Karoline said “President Trump has made it clear he will not tolerate federal government employees leaking to the fake news media,” adding “This is common sense” if to assert that the news sourced from leaks is fake but people also need to be fired for it is just such simple wisdom that everyone should possess, so don’t overthink it.

“Government employees who spend their time leaking to the media instead of doing the job American taxpayers expect should be held accountable,” Karoline continued, as if realizing how fucking stupid her previous assertion was and corrected it with something more comprehensible.

You probably seriously could post this headline and the link on some MAGA website and get at least a few upvotes before one of them replies and says “Oh very funny, libtard. GTFO you Marxist queer!”

New Jersey Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band cover act “No Surrender” on Thursday told NJ.com their gig at Riv’s in Toms River set for next Friday was canceled after the owner decided to punish them for the Garden State legend’s recent and increasingly heated anti-Trump crusade.

Riv’s owner began apprehensively texting frontman Brad Hobicorn after Springsteen – who’s never been a fan of the convicted felon president – had this month renewed his public disgust with the fat fuck and began attracting Fox News’s attention. Then on Sunday, Rivoli texted Hobicorn to call it off, saying it was “too risky at the moment,” his MAGA clientele. Hobcorn offered to drop the Springsteen set and bill themselves as “Asbury Fever” to play other classic rock hits. But Rivoli said he’d have to pay less than the $2,500 agreed to pay them for a “No Surrender” set.

“Unfortunately it’s just too much money I wanted to do the Springsteen tribute for that money [and] my social media team would have promoted it we would have done well but now because Bruce can’t keep his mouth shut we’re screwed,” Rivoli wrote in a text breaking the news to Hobicorn.

Asked during a Friday afternoon availability in the Oval Office why he singled out Apple iPhones for tariffs and not any other brand, convicted felon President Trump told reporters the levies on Samsung phones “would be more… It would be also Samsung and anybody that makes that product, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair. So anybody that makes that product, and that’ll start on, I guess, the end of June,” Bloomberg reports. Wow, he sure sounds like he knows what he’s doing with all this.

On about his similarly ridiculous and arbitrary announcement of tariffs on European Union exports, the fat bastard was asked “What are you hoping to achieve with a 50 percent tariff on the EU?” to which Trump said “There is no tariff. What they will do is they will send their companies into the US.”

Asked then “Are you looking for a deal in 9 days?” Trump responded with “They don’t go about it right… I just said, it’s time that we play the game the way I know how to play the game.”

…which is the inflation that Trump hasn’t brought down despite promising to when he was really running to stay out of prison and make himself richer. Oh and the average price per gallon at $3.19 is seven cents higher than it was on January 20th. So they’re not lower.

OH NO! Billy Joel has a BRAIN DISORDER and can’t perform! Seriously! Billboard reports Billy, a famous musician loved everywhere on Long Island – even those who live in houses that got in the way of his car – has “normal pressure hydrocephalus,” which means there’s spinal fluid leaking into his brain or some horrible shit. So now every Billy Joel concert is canceled until at least July 2026.

Total bummer about the people who wanted to hear him sing about all the events in American history from 1960 through 1990 and then another one about the days when they all used to hang out at the village green, wearing engineer boots, leather jackets, and tight blue jeans and then when you put a nickel in jukebox you hear a song about New Orleans. And then Brenda and Eddie…

Man, what a great story about them. Sheesh. Guess fans will have to just listen on Spotify at home.

Claiming their free speech rights are being violated, a group of anti-5G patriots on Thursday filed a federal civil complaint against Oregon’s state government, alleging that last year’s law banning citizens from sharing any readings non-approved piezoelectric crystals to monitor fluctuations in the cellular data band’s frequencies for anomalies indicating possible directed mind-control signal bursts, empowering state officials to impose fines of up to $1 million for violating the law.

Critics of the statute say it’s worded too vaguely, that only state-approved Lemurian seed crystals attuned to Earth’s grid and Schumann resonance that are far more expensive than the standard Argone gaia shards with a simple copper coil acting as the EMF radiation receivers that most community organizations use as their warning sign of impending danger and to activate their Faraday conduit arrays to absorb the lethal 5G energy being emitted from the World Economic Forum owned-and-operated cell tower network currently installed across the United States.

One patriot, Cindy Robertson, says neighbors have been asking her why she doesn’t fly a red flag warning on heavy 5G infrawave days anymore. “I’d tell them, ’The state says we can’t tell y’all that stuff,'” said Robertson, whose group, Micah 6:8, is among the plaintiffs suing to get the law overturned. “You can’t talk about [5G waves] unless you’re using the equipment that they want you to use,” said David Bookbinder, director of law and policy at the Environmental Integrity Project, which represents the plaintiffs. He added there was no need for community groups to purchase such expensive crystals when cheaper technology could provide “perfectly adequate results… to be able to tell your community, your family, whether or not the air they’re breathing is safe.”

“Talks like” does not mean Congressman Randy Fine’s voice so much as the words he uses. Like if you saw some of this committed to paper you’d be like “Wow, so he said he’s Jewish so I wonder if this guy was in like one of those IDF commando units where they teach you how to rip a dude’s throat out with one hand,” only to see that he looks like he’d lose a fight with a stairmaster.

All those “Arab-Americans for Trump” must love this guy because Trump endorsed him multiple times, even after he said Gaza should be nuked on Thursday. Fine, who obviously thinks he would kick the shit out of a Hamas terrorist in a fistfight, might not love it if he finds out who one of Hamas’s backers are and who they just gave a luxury 747 to. It could be devastating news for him.

Hey, remember xenon? It’s on the periodic table where it goes by “Xe.” Right? Yeah it’s one of those whose symbol is actually an abbreviation of its name and not like “Au” or “K” which you’d never have any idea what the hell elements they stood for if you’ve never seen a periodic table before.

Anyway, the Everest Chronicle reports the element, which keeps a pretty low profile compared to the squeakier Helium and flashier Neon on the inert gases crew, is suddenly so hot among climbers as a performance enhancing gas. It’s also pretty controversial as the unofficial blog of the world’s tallest and deadliest (in absolute values) mountain writes that the use of it for rapid acclimation “has drawn scrutiny from medical experts and mountaineering organizations, who warn of insufficient evidence supporting its safety and efficacy at high altitudes. Despite this, climbers maintain their success so far demonstrates the potential of modern approaches to extreme altitude expeditions.”

The team of four British military vets – Garth Miller, Alastair Carns, Anthony Stazicker, and Kev Godlington – who inhaled a shit ton of xenon to more rapidly acclimate their bodies to higher altitudes – something that takes weeks normally – are probably still on their way up to the summit of Everest given that this article was printed on Wednesday. So either they’ll make it down or not.

Ever. Their bodies will be up there, frozen, forever if the xenon thing backfires on them.

From remarks by South African Minister of Police Senzo Mchunu in a Friday presentation of quarterly crime statistics in the country: “In the last few days, we have seen conversations and concerns about crime in SA taking a totally different turn, the term ‘genocide’ got forcefully introduced to the scene, in a distinctly foreign and strange manner. It is claimed that there is ‘white genocide’ in South Africa and as evidence, a lot of material has been put into circulation, including in the White House, in the USA. These materials include pictures of crosses along a particular road, to name a few.”

“We have respect for the USA as a country, we have respect for the people in that country and for President Trump, but we have no respect for this genocide story – at all. It is totally unfounded and unsubstantiated. We have noted doubt expressed by media houses in the USA, UK and in South Africa, and we welcome it. South Africa is a full democratic state, with a lot of NGOs, NPOs and free media – they would have run headlines both locally and abroad if there was any genocide.”

“In the fourth quarter, six attacks on rural communities were recorded as follows: Farm owners 2, Farm dwellers 1, Farm employees 2, Farm manager 5” (this statement was apparently released before Mchunu actually spoke so it’s unlikely he actually read it off exactly like that).

Non-commands of the facts and an extreme shallowness of knowledge were the order of the day for this one-two-punch of Treasury Suckretary Scott Bessent and Republican Congressman French Hill’s Friday morning bits on Fox News and CNBC. Stick around for the end where Hill bitches about how the $TRUMP shitcoin corruption circlejerk is making his job working for crypto donors harder.

Months of careful negotiations to get Dems on board with the GENIUS Act crypto bill – which needs 60 votes to pass – may be about to go to waste and rightfully so as NOTUS reports that Senator Chris Murphy on Thursday said he will force an amendment to the bill prohibiting presidents or any other public official from profiting off a “stablecoin” while in office. Which is definitely going to be one hell of a way to box the MAGA party in on legislation they say is good for all Americans.
