A new survey of California voters by pollster co/efficient finds 54 percent of respondents backing Gov Gavin Newsom’s retaliatory gerrymandering ballot measure to 36 percent opposed.

As you can see, Texas MAGA Congressman Wesley Hunt on Monday made it official and jumped into the Lone Star State’s Republican Senate primary against John Cornhole Cornyn the (de facto) third-highest-ranking sitting member of the majority caucus in the chamber. No poll of the race had ever put Hunt in serious contention against Cornyn or his main challenger, corrupt Picasso-faced state Attorney General Ken Paxton, whose once-prohibitive lead over Cornyn has slipped somewhat. Yet Hunt can still have a significant impact as his entrance into the race will very likely pull the other two candidates under 50 percent and force a runoff in what was already an expensive and messy primary of a sitting US Senator who’d won four statewide elections before he ran for Congress.

That assumes that Republican voters don’t see that pic on Hunt’s campaign website. It’s the second of three in a carousel and you’ll never guess who Hunt is pictured with in the other two. Okay, you already guessed and yeah, he’s trying to make it look like convicted felon President Trump already endorsed him without actually saying that Trump already endorsed him. Not a new move in this race.

Diane Goodstein, a South Carolina judge who last month was targeted with some heated rhetoric by Trump DOJ enforcer Harmeet Dhillon over a ruling against the regime’s assault on voting rights, saw her home burned to the ground by some heated combustion Saturday – the inferno inflicting serious injuries on her husband, Dem former state Senator Arnold Goodstein, Time Magazine reports.

“At this time, we do not know whether the fire was accidental or arson. Until that determination is made, [State Law Enforcement Division Chief Mark Keel] has alerted local law enforcement to provide extra patrols and security,” South Carolina Chief Justice John Kittredge told FITSNews, adding that the fire appeared to have been caused by an “explosion.” Judge Goodstein had received death threats after she temporarily blocked the Trump DOJ’s bid to force the South Carolina election commission from handing the state’s voter rolls over to the regime for whatever stupid, nefarious plans they have in mind. The ruling was later overturned by the state Supreme Court anyway.

Trump-appointed federal Judge Karen Immergut on Sunday ordered a halt to the far fuck’s insane deployment of the California National Guard to Portland, deeming it an attempted circumvention of her Saturday night order blocking Oregon guard from deploying, AllRise’s Adam Klasfeld reports.

Immergut said she sees the regime’s actions as a “direct contravention” of her first order, adding “It appears to violate both [10 USC §] 12406 and the Tenth Amendment” of the Constitution.

Amid the recent spate of incursions into NATO and EU airspace by nefarious actors, officials in Lithuania’s capital of Vilnius on Saturday found that the 25 or so balloons that grounded flights at the city’s international airport were launched by maybe not that nefarious of actors as their payloads were determined to be thousands upon thousands of packs of cheap, shitty Belarusian cigarettes bound for dealers seeking to sell them untaxed and unstamped to sketchy vendors, the AP reports.

While the intent was obviously well short of Kremlinist disruption the effect was the same as no fewer than 30 flights in and out of Vilnius were canceled or diverted after two of the balloons drifted into the airport’s restricted airspace. Cops recovered 11 balloons and their cargo of roughly 18,000 packs of cigarettes. It’s not clear if they’ll be destroyed or distributed to needy smokers.

Convicted felon President Trump is now 67 minutes and counting late for his speech to cadets at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland for what’s supposed to be a major celebration of the service branch’s 250th anniversary. Still too early to hope.

Jesus Dork Speaker of the House Mike Johnson continued on Sunday morning having some difficulty getting his stories straight about how the Democrats are demanding that illegal aliens get free healthcare and it just kept going down and down to the most particulate, arcane argument that, secretly on some Dem proposal that’s linked on Johnson’s website, there was something something he claims “Buried on page 57, Section 2141, the Democrat CR bill repeals the Working Families Tax Cut bill’s new safeguards against waste, fraud, and abuse in health care spending to restore and continue $200 billion in American taxpayer funded health care subsidies going to illegal aliens.” The whole thing’s really hard to follow and just stinks of a retcon trying to reconcile convicted felon President Trump’s version of the story with “reality” as it is in the actual legislation.

Not the easiest messaging sell. Also note how his website calls it “the Working Families Tax Cut bill” while he definitely said “Big Beautiful Bill” to Kristen Welker.

Convicted felon President Trump’s minions tell the Wall Street Journal that they’ve been telling him to “refine” his messaging on the economy and distill it down to “just wait until next year.”

Trump has listened to his wise counselors, and taken it even further, telling reporters at a recent event that “Our big year won’t be really next year – it’ll be the year after,” though really he should be saying “Fuck you America. You kept me out of prison because enough of you morons you bought my stupid lies about how I alone can lower prices and unilaterally supercharge the economy, lol.”

Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life.

Trump-appointed Oregon federal Judge Karen Immergut on Saturday ordered a halt to the far fuck’s insane deployment of federal troops to Portland, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

“Someone needs to pay for the consequences of my bad decisions!” – The current top comment on a Saturday morning Fox Business News article headlined “Parents of woman killed in fiery Cybertruck crash target Tesla in suit alleging ‘defective design’ trapped her.” Californians Noelle and Carl Tsukuhara have sued Tesla over the November 2024 death of their 19 year-old daughter Krysta in the tragic crash caused by her asshole friend Soren Dixon driving drunk and stoned.

“Autopsy reports revealed the presence of alcohol, cocaine, and meth in Dixon’s system, KTVU reported, adding that Tsukahara and [other victim Jack] Nelson each tested positive for alcohol and cocaine,” the commenter had pasted in from the article before his little quip about the importance of personal responsibility. Which made it plain he was faulting Krysta for being drunk and on coke rather than getting into a hideous shitbox estimated by at least one analyst to be 17 times more deadly for drivers and passengers in collisions resulting in vehicle fires than the infamous Ford Pinto with its industry-first-and-last rear-mounted fuel tank. That was a hard record to beat.

There’s an ethical question here about whether KTVU and other outlets should have even printed the toxicology results for Nelson and Tsukuhara’s autopsies. It’d be one thing for that to come out in reporting on Tesla’s legal defense as this case plays out and they inevitably cite it as a mitigating factor, but it’s not adding anything to the overall picture about this tragedy. Especially when dozens of victims were sober at the time they were trapped and burned alive in other Tesla crashes. It’s at best gratuitous for media outlets to be including that detail when those two weren’t the one driving drunk and high on coke and meth at 3:08 AM while home from college on Thanksgiving weekend.

President Trump says HAMAS is delaying the peace deal. He is urging them act quickly or all bets are off. They have until Sunday evening to make up their minds, or else Israel has been given a green light to demolish and glass GAZA. pic.twitter.com/5BjwvtodWQ

The reason that House leadership extended the chamber’s vacation another week by designating October 7 through the 13th as a “district work period” is because, per Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman, they don’t want Republican members “in DC doing nothing. In part because they are worried about them saying something stupid,” during the already-prolonged government shutdown.

“To ICE, Border Patrol, Law Enforcement, and all US Military: As per my August 25, 2025 Executive Order, please be advised that, from this point forward, anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison. You will be immediately arrested,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday as though US Marines are supposed to be empowered to arrest civilians.

Walgreens just announced they’re closing up to 25% of their over 8,600 stores citing inflation.

Head to the homepage at RiteAid.com to see the very brief message “All Rite Aid stores have now closed. We thank our loyal customers for their many years of support,” at the bottom of a banner encouraging customers to click to have their prescriptions transferred to other pharmacies, the digital epitaph for a chain that operated roughly 1,240 stores nationwide until just a few years ago.

Sure, Rite Aid did first declare bankruptcy in 2023 buuuuuuuut if we’re the “hottest country in the world” then why couldn’t they turn it around once the economic miracle of Trump returned? Wasn’t his election supposed to stop people from shoplifting deodorant and shit from the stores? Why did Rite Aid still fail when they knew that everything will be so much better in a year or so?

Gaza-based terrorist group Hamas on Friday announced that “according to the exchange formula contained in President Trump’s proposal, and as the field conditions for the exchange are met,” they will release however many still-living Israeli hostages abducted nearly two years ago, the New York Times reports on some probably not great news for Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu.

Remember that article from like six hours ago about the Republican primary for the December 2nd special election to replace now-former Congressman Mark Green in Tennessee’s 7th District and how there were 19 candidates? Well 18 of them just wasted their time because convicted felon President Trump just posted “It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot Matt Van Epps, who is running to represent the Great People of Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District. A West Point Graduate, and Combat Decorated Army Helicopter Pilot, Matt knows the WISDOM and COURAGE” and blah blah blah, showering Van Epps’s face with his golden glory.

It’d be one thing if it was Van Epps vs like one other guy with a lot of local connections and money and Van Epps was some sex pest and so on. Then MAYBE it’d still be a race. But the reality is that it is a 99 point something percent certainty that the fat fuck just screwed over 18 local Republicans who might’ve had a shot if he had just stayed the hell out of it until after next Tuesday.

Bet you’re going to be REALLY stumped by this one but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Treasurer Brandon Beach handed the Wall Street Journal’s Brian Schwartz a first draft of a design for the $1 commemorative coin celebrating America’s 250th birthday saying “1776 to 2026.”

Can you guess which president it is?

A new KFF survey finds that, after actually being informed of what the ACA subsidies are and that this is why the Dems forced a shutdown, 78 percent of respondents support extending them.
