A Manhattan judge on Wednesday ruled that fat rapist Harvey Weinstein will face trial again after the jury in his June trial hung on the count of rape against actress Jessica Mann, NBC reports.

“President Trump did himself no favors by firing the Bureau of Labor Statistics head because he didn’t like last month’s jobs report. He also did no favors for his nominated BLS replacement, Heritage Foundation chief economist EJ Antoni, who will now have to overcome public skepticism to show the data can be trusted. Stipulate first that the BLS data has become increasingly volatile in recent years. Last month’s jobs report revised down gains by 258,000 for May and June. This suggested that growth stalled this spring. Mr Trump then claimed without evidence that the numbers were ‘RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad,'” writes the normally MAGA-friendly Wall Street Journal op-ed board, laying about all the reasons that the pick sucks, before the close: “Few people trust China’s economic data because they know the government serves the interests of the ruling Communist Party. Mr Antoni will have to take off his MAGA hat if he wants to ensure that the public and markets can trust BLS data.”

A Los Angeles-area Latino Trump voter tells NBC4 he’s joined an ACLU lawsuit against ICE and is done with El Coño Naranjo after the government’s anti-immigration stormtroopers detained him outside of his business in June. “I truly believe I was targeted because of my race,” says 29 year-old Brian Gavidia. “I believe I was racially profiled. I believe I was attacked because I was walking while brown. Where is the freedom? Where is the justice? We live in America. This is why I’m fighting today. This is why I’m protecting the Constitution,” he continued, adding that he’s now trying to help educate neighbors on their rights if confronted by ICE agents on the street as a form of repentance.

“He ran on lies. We were all manipulated, we were all brainwashed, and now look at us. We’re all suffering because of it. And I feel guilty 100 percent,” Gavidia said after getting what he voted for.

Still hand it to the guy for actually being sorry in contrast to so many others who got what they voted for and yet persist with the “I continue to support Trump however I wish he would make an exception for me personally on this specific policy issue that affects me or my family negatively.”

Or even “this is actually Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s fault that I’m in tan ICE gulag.”

Like what more do you want than a Trump voter outright literally admitting he was manipulated and brainwashed by propaganda? Yes, it only happened after he was nearly thrown in the cages but at least he’s responding proportionately and sticking his head up. Forgive him or don’t, it’s entirely up to you. You cannot however say he isn’t considerably closer to deserving it than literally any of the others who got what they voted for and who have been rightfully scorned since January.

Last week convicted felon President Trump praised CNN’s Harry “Emden” during his lengthy rant on CNBC, telling anchor Joe Kernen that “if you check out CNN tomorrow, watch Harry Emden and you’ll see about the numbers.” Well you can check outthe clip from CNN above and see Harry Enten lay out how voters feel about the Orange God Emperor’s failure to make good on his unrealistic campaign promises to lower the cost of living and bring prices under control.

A report to the FAA, newly-FOIAed by John Greenewald’s The Black Vault website, reveals that the pilot(s) of a December 19th, 2024 afternoon flight over Delaware County, Ohio spotted a “black cube” just floating in the sky, a detail omitted from the original listing in the FAA’s publicly-available database of “Drone Sightings Near Airports” of the nationwide flap that month.

From the newly FOIAed version: “Aircraft observed a black cube-shaped UAS below while W bound at 16,000 feet, 5NM W of APE. No evasive action was taken. PD notified at 740-670-5555. AWO notified. MOR Filed – Summary from CEDAR via SKYWATCH: [Redacted pilot(s) name] reported a drone passing beneath them by about 500 ft. The [Redacted again – possibly indicated a military flight] was at 16,000′. They described it as a black cube. No other information given,” which in plainer English means “A pilot flying west at 16,000 feet spotted a black cube-shaped drone about 500 feet below them, roughly 5 nautical miles west of some navigation point called ‘APE.’ The pilot didn’t need to change course to avoid it, but reported it through official channels – police were called and the airfield operations were notified, and a mandatory safety report was filed.”

It’s not clear what if anything local police did about the cube at 15,500 ft in the sky.

“The City of Laurens Police Department is investigating a case involving two juveniles in connection with break-ins at two railroad facilities in the City of Laurens – Carolina Piedmont Railroad and CSX Transportation Railroad – on Saturday, August 9, 2025. Between approximately 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, the juveniles unlawfully entered the railroad facilities. Investigators determined they started an engine that was connected to two other engines and then drove all three around the yard before taking them onto the rail line that connects toward Greenville,” says a Facebook post from the Laurens, South Carolina Police Department on a recent amateur railroading mishap.

“While attempting to return the engines to the yard, the juveniles collided with parked railcars, causing a derailment of the engine and significant damage to one of the cars. Both juveniles have been charged with the following offenses: Burglary, Second Degree, Grand Larceny (over $10,000), Malicious Damage to Property (over $10,000), Willful Destruction of Railroad Property, and Injury to Railroad. The juveniles have been detained at the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia,” the post continued and Christ, that’s a bit of overkill, isn’t it? They were trying to put the train back where they found it. “Willful” and “malicious” would be if they crashed it on purpose rather than simply fucked up the parking job like lots of other teens without train operator licenses would.

“This was a dangerous and reckless act,” said Chief Heath Copeland, adding “railroad property is not a place to play. Trains, rail lines, and yards present serious risks, and unauthorized access can have life-threatening consequences,” without so much as allowing that the two kids had at least tried to railroad responsibly and be respectful to the railroad property they borrowed and almost put back.

Nothing like a “crypto entrepreneur” implying to a national televised audience that this is his town where a Ugandan-born socialist has no legitimate right to assert that he’s in charge.

“Very unfair media is at work on my meeting with Putin. Constantly quoting fired losers and really dumb people like John Bolton, who just said that, even though the meeting is on American soil, ‘Putin has already won.’ What’s that all about? We are winning on EVERYTHING. The Fake News is working overtime (No tax on overtime!). If I got Moscow and Leningrad free, as part of the deal with Russia, the Fake News would say that I made a bad deal! But now they’ve been caught.”

“Look at all of the real news that’s coming out about their CORRUPTION. They are sick and dishonest people, who probably hate our Country. But it doesn’t matter because we are winning on everything!!! MAGA” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, doing everything he can to engender confidence in his ability to negotiate an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine.

Former South Korean First Lady Melania Yoon Kim Keon Hee, wife of also jailed ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, was arrested in Seoul Wednesday on suspicion of various crimes, including bribery, stock manipulation, and meddling in the selection of a candidate, the Associated Press reports on more misery being heaped on her pilled conservative husband who destroyed his presidency by declaring martial law after watching too many right wing conspiracy videos on YouTube.

New South Korean President Lee-Jae Myung, a Democrat who lost a tight election to Yoon in 2022 and then captured the presidency in a June special election prompted by Yoon’s removal, has hit the ground running in the destruction of his bitter rival since taking office, immediately approving legislation to launch sweeping special investigations into Yoon’s martial law debacle, the corruption allegations against his wife, and the 2023 drowning death of a marine during a flood rescue operation, an incident the liberals claim Yoon’s government tried to cover up.

This week’s Economist/YouGov national survey finds that, on the question of “Before investigations into Jeffrey Epstein began, how much do you think Donald Trump knew about sex crimes committed by Epstein against underage girls?” 17 percent of Trump 2024 voters said “A lot” and 39 percent said “Some,” meaning 56 percent of the Orange Slob’s fans admitted that their president knew that a good friend of his was sex trafficking teenage girls before then-US Attorney Alex Acosta, Trump’s future Secretary of Labor, dropped 60 federal felonies against Epstein, letting him plead guilty to some chickenshit state charges in Florida and do about 13 months in a minimum security prison.

A train carrying hazardous materials derailed in Texas on Tuesday, per ABC News, therefore Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy needs to resign immediately. It doesn’t matter what the details are, this is his fault because the railroad, Norfolk Pacific or whatever, was not properly made more competent through meritocracy. The DEI wasn’t purged out and it’s his fault. Fuck Sean Duffy.

“ABC13 has confirmed with multiple sources that House Democrats will return to Texas. Eyewitness News has not confirmed the date, but we do know that Democrats believe they’ve accomplished their mission by killing the first special session and by raising national awareness about the mid-decade redistricting effort,” says the lede to ABC13’s story, copied verbatim to underscore that apparently they’re simply capitulating at this point and not trying to drag this out into December.

Vice President JD Vance’s really SUPER hard hitting interview with stupid Katie Miller got into last month’s trip to Disneyland where he didn’t really sound that sorry for ruining the experience for the families of the regular schmucks of America by getting the rides shut down.

“For the first time in two decades, Taco Bell is expanding the MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST legacy with a bold new flavor: MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA MIDNIGHT. An unexpected purple twist on the iconic tropical lime flavor fans know and love, Taco Bell’s exclusive, first-ever MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST flavor drops nationwide on August 14. As a permanent menu addition, MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA MIDNIGHT is set to unleash the next wave of MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA BLAST fandom, driven by the same passion that has defined the phenomenon since 2004,” says a new press release from the Lords of Mexican fast food headlined “THE EPIC MOUNTAIN DEW® BAJA BLAST® LEGACY EXPANDS WITH NEW MOUNTAIN DEW BAJA MIDNIGHT™, ONLY AT TACO BELL.” So epic.

In what looks like a rare correction prepended to their usual bullshit, Fox Business News on Tuesday seemed to try to at least partially walk back the framing of what creepy incel EJ Antoni, Trump’s new Bureau of Labor Statistics chief, said after real economists freaked out in response to Antoni saying that “until it is corrected, the BLS should suspend issuing the monthly job reports but keep publishing the more accurate, though less timely, quarterly data,” as though he said that this week.

“Editor’s Note: This article was updated to clarify that the interview with EJ Antoni was conducted by Fox News Digital on Monday, August 4, 2025, and not during an on-air appearance on Fox Business Network. The story has been corrected to reflect this distinction,” the top of the article now says at the top, emphasis theirs, trying to make it clear this happened before the Orange God Emperor nominated Antoni to pretend to lead the bureau even though they presented it as new on Tuesday. It’s not clear whether “this distinction” actually matters and whether Antoni still wants to do it – hell this might’ve been exactly why Trump hired the rapey-looking skell three days later – but obviously Fox Business felt like they should at least make said dispositive difference clear.

It was already kind of official but now it’s even more official as the Cleveland Plain-Dealer reports that Dem former Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown directly told labor leaders in the Buckeye State that he’s running to take on Jaydee’s replacement Jon Husted in 2026.

If nothing else about the Senate map in 2026 look at the lineup: Dems got Brown in Ohio, Roy Cooper in North Carolina, and a very solid bench in the Michigan D primary. Hopefully Texas shakes out. Meanwhile on Team MAGA Lara Trump, Brian Kemp, and Chris Sununu all passed on empty seats. If nothing else what does that say about how confident they are about winning?

“Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate. Steve ‘Manouychin’ really gave me a ‘beauty’ when he pushed this loser. The damage he has done by always being Too Late is incalculable. Fortunately, the economy is sooo good that we’ve blown through Powell and the complacent Board.”

“I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings. Three Billion Dollars for a job that should have been a $50 Million Dollar fix up. Not good!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, fat and miserable as his usual state of mind.

Quick question for Trump fans here: If your Lord and Savior is so smart and omniscient then why is he blaming friggin Steve Mnuchin for Jerome Powell? Mnuchin didn’t hire him, Trump did.

Donald then turned his contempt on another member of The Tribe, posting a bunch of lies about the effects of tariffs on the US economy and then “But David Solomon and Goldman Sachs refuse to give credit where credit is due. They made a bad prediction a long time ago on both the Market repercussion and the Tariffs themselves, and they were wrong, just like they are wrong about so much else. I think that David should go out and get himself a new Economist or, maybe, he ought to just focus on being a DJ, and not bother running a major Financial Institution.”
