Oklahoma state Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters on Tuesday declared that the law enforcement investigation into Oklahoma state Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters had cleared him of any impropriety for having a screen displaying naked ladies during a meeting in his office last week, KFOR reports on a complete and total exoneration for the controversial official.

“We have had our name cleared by both the Oklahoma Office of Management and Enterprise Services and the sheriff’s office,” Walters said, using “we” and “our” for reasons unclear but he is an education professional, you know, so it’s probably proper usage. Plus he’s an expert on pronouns.

“There is nothing scandalous that I was a part of whatsoever,” Walters added, switching back to “I.”

A spokesman for the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office disagreed with Walters’ facts. “That simply isn’t the case,” Aaron Brilbeck told KFOR. “Our investigation is still ongoing. In fact, I would categorize it as being in its infancy. This is going to be a very thorough investigation. And once the investigation is complete, we’re going to be very transparent with our findings,” Brilbeck continued with his alternative viewpoint on whether Walters is under investigation for the naked ladies incident.

Walters on Tuesday also educated media on the theory that the television in his office displaying the naked ladies was simply tuned to a cable network of an unspecified nature. “None of my devices were ever connected to that TV,” Walters told reporters, adding that the sheriff’s office “concluded there weren’t devices connected to” the television. Brilbeck later again had alternative facts about that specific aspect, saying the sheriff’s office had not made such a determination.

An anonymous Republican operative “close to the White House who works on Senate and House races” tells Politico Playbook he’s come to a certain realization about the party’s push to redraw congressional maps in Texas and other states, on that should’ve been obvious from the get-go, especially given convicted felon President Trump’s obsession with maintaining control of the House.

“If we are relying on redistricting to hold the majorities, we have bigger issues,” said the operative. In the very next quote, the operative then decided it was worth it anyway. “Frankly, Democrats do it, so we are giving them a dose of their own medicine,” he said, evidently satisfied with the justification.

Which should tell you that the new Texas map – which Punchbowl News reports creates five new Trump +10 seats – is not being seen as enough in that state nor are Republicans particularly optimistic they can squeeze enough out of other states. Further down Playbook also rates it as highly likely California will respond in kind, thus leaving the most probable outcome a wash of very-low-single-digit seats shifted nationally and more bad blood Blue and Red between states.

“Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 3.0 percent in the second quarter of 2025 (April, May, and June), according to the advance estimate released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the first quarter, real GDP decreased 0.5 percent. The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected a decrease in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and an increase in consumer spending. These movements were partly offset by decreases in investment and exports,” says the Bureau of Economic Analysis in the quarterly update.

“Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their Tariffs are far too high, among the highest in the World, and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary Trade Barriers of any Country. Also, they have always bought a vast majority of their military equipment from Russia, and are Russia’s largest buyer of ENERGY, along with China, at a time when everyone wants Russia to STOP THE KILLING IN UKRAINE, ALL THINGS NOT GOOD! INDIA WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING A TARIFF OF 25 PERCENT, PLUS A PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE, STARTING ON AUGUST FIRST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MAGA!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, pissed over not getting a bribe from Modi or something who the hell knows what his problem is.

“WE HAVE A MASSIVE TRADE DEFICIT WITH INDIA!!!” fatass added in a subsequent post. Prior to that angry, confused rant he was super-extra serious for real about Friday being the new “Liberation Day,” posting “THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE IS THE AUGUST FIRST DEADLINE – IT STANDS STRONG, AND WILL NOT BE EXTENDED. A BIG DAY FOR AMERICA,” because let’s pay more for shit.

A demented racist old grandfather nearing 80 and in failing physical and mental health on Wednesday retreated to the world of social media to share a number of low-effort, low-quality memes to escape from the misery of living in a constant state of confusion and anger. The memes, some of which were created by his social media friends or their Photoshop-savvy grandchildren as much as six or seven years ago, served as an affirmation of the old man’s political preferences.

The tsunami generated by Tuesday’s 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Pacific coast has thus far thankfully turned out to be pretty mild and no significant damage has been wrought on the many American coastlines and territorial islands in its path so far, Time Magazine reports.

The worst of it occurred in Russia itself and even there the waves were only about 10 to 13 feet high, causing moderate damage to the sparsely-populated region. Japan’s highest waves were 10 feet in isolated areas of Hokkaido, while California and Alaska saw crests under 2 feet high. “So far we have not seen a wave of consequence, which is a great relief to us,” Hawaii Gov Josh Green said.

“Dear Attorney General Bondi, Pursuant to USC §2954 which holds in relevant part that an Executive agency on request of… the Committee on [Homeland Security and] Governmental Affairs of the Senate or any five members thereof shall submit any information requested of it relating to any matter within the jurisdiction of the committee we request the full and complete Epstein files as identified by the Department of Justice,” writes Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a letter co-signed by no fewer than seven other Dems exploiting a 1928 statute to further exploit the self-inflicted political vulnerability to the Trump Regime still posed by the dead sex trafficker.

Naturally, according to the New York Times, it’s not going to be that straightforward as they write the law “has been infrequently used, and it has not faced significant tests in court, raising questions over whether it can be enforced.” Just as naturally, however, such a court fight isn’t the worst consolation prize politically since, well, you know… It’s not the greatest look politically for convicted felon President Trump to be ordering Bondi and her minions to be fighting against the release of the files they said they were going to release until they changed their minds earlier this month.

A source in convicted felon President Trump’s White House tells Deadline that the Orange God Emperor is “seriously considering” issuing a pardon for disgraced hip-hop mogul Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs following his conviction earlier this month on two counts of “transportation for prostitution” while walking on the sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Which would totally help change the subject from the ongoing scandal of his regime’s unwillingness to fully expose the government’s knowledge of the horrific crimes committed by dead sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and his clientele.

To ditch the tedious sarcasm this is 100 percent believable simply because the case against Puffy was prosecuted by none other than now-former SDNY Assistant US Attorney Maurene Comey.

“Due to a massive earthquake that occurred in the Pacific Ocean, a Tsunami Warning is in effect for those living in Hawaii. A Tsunami Watch is in effect for Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the United States. Japan is also in the way. Please visit tsunami.gov/ for the latest information. STAY STRONG AND STAY SAFE!” posted convicted felon President Trump’s Truth Social account on Tuesday.

Coastal areas in the Aloha State were ordered to evacuate. Watch local news live above.

Suck it libs! LMAO! Lawfare’s Anna Bower reports your fake news BlueAnon BS didn’t work!

“Chuck Grassley, who I got re-elected to the US Senate when he was down, by a lot, in the Great State of Iowa, could solve the ‘Blue Slip’ problem we are having with respect to the appointment of Highly Qualified Judges and US Attorneys, with a mere flick of the pen,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday, apparently thinking he can threaten a 92 year-old man – who was in the Senate before his colleagues Jon Ossoff, Tim Sheehy, Andy Kim, and Katie Britt, as well as Vice President JD Vance, were born – into abolishing an institutional norm with a “mere flick of the pen.”

Also, when the hell was Grassley ever in trouble in a reelection campaign?

Anyway, the fat fuck kept caterwauling about the norm which apparently he’s just now actually finally understanding after previously making it very much clear he did not. “Democrats like Schumer, Warner, Kaine, Booker, Schiff, and others, SLEAZEBAGS ALL, have an ironclad stoppage of Great Republican Candidates. Put simply, the President of the United States will never be permitted to appoint the person of his choice because of an ancient, and probably Unconstitutional, ‘CUSTOM,’ that if you have, even one person in the opposite Party serving in the US Senate, he/she must give consent, thereby completely stopping the opposite Party’s Nomination. The only way to beat this Hoax is to appoint a Democrat or, a weak and ineffective Republican,” Trump continued in the rant.

Copying verbatim the content of this tweet from Punchbowl’s Andrew Desiderio to not mince the words: “The White House is intensely lobbying Republican senators to oppose a congressional stock trading ban set to be marked up tomorrow. Why? Because senators plan to offer a substitute: a bill that would extend the stock trading ban to the President and Vice President”

Sooooo yeah, this isn’t an 80/20 issue. Probably more like a 99.98/0.02 issue. Even that’s probably too generous and yet Trump’s billions of shares in his scam side businesses are apparently more important than him being on the right side of it, especially at a time when the “anti-establishment” podcaster bro set are already getting deeply suspicious of him over the Epstein shitshow.

Well that was easy. Fox News reports that House Oversight Chairbilly James Comer has rejected convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell’s conditions for an interview, specifically the immunity.

“Homicide Detectives are investigating a shooting/stabbing incident that left one man dead and another injured on July 29 in Wells-Goodfellow. At approximately 7:25 am, officers received a call for a shooting in the parking lot of Wendy’s Restaurant in the 3400 block of Union Blvd. Upon arriving, officers located a 28 year-old man on the ground suffering from multiple stab wounds.”

“A second man, 52, was located nearby suffering from gunshot wounds. A preliminary investigation revealed the two men, who are coworkers at Wendy’s, got involved in an argument over personal matters with each other while inside the business. The argument turned physical and moved outside the restaurant and onto the parking lot. During the physical altercation, the 52-year-old man stabbed the 28-year-old man, and the 28-year-old man shot the 52-year-old man. EMS responded and transported the 28-year-old man to the hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition. The 52-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. A firearm and knife were recovered by officers at the scene,” says the St Louis Metro Police Department in a press release.

“The Wendy’s was reopened later in the day, so don’t be afraid to try their NEW Takis Fuego™ Chicken Sandwich and Fuego™ Fries inspired by Takis® are next-level heat for the ultimate spice lovers,” the press release did not say because they don’t have the moxie to realize that would’ve been a great opportunity to sell advertising space for a company who could use a little image boost.

BREAKING: President Trump says he banned Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after he repeatedly poached Trump's staff from the spa, even after Trump warned him to stop. This included one of Epstein's most well-known victims, Virginia Giuffre. pic.twitter.com/O4muyF33JJ

Small-faced right propagandist Charlie Kirk on Tuesday celebrated another complete and total exoneration for President Trump in which he was cleared of all suspicion finally, once and for all, by saying he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s when Epstein poached a Mar-a-Lago spa employee who was later raped by Prince Andrew and then committed suicide a few months ago. Sorry libs, game over. No collusion, no obstruction. You lose again. America is BACK!

Right wing Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and a bunch of her minions on Tuesday called on the province’s chief electoral officer Gordon McClure to quit fucking around and move get moving on putting the referendum to declare independence from Canada on the ballot, CTV News reports.

“As it is the Government of Alberta that ultimately decides how or if to implement any referendum result, those government decisions will ultimately be subject to constitutional scrutiny,” Smith ally and provincial Justice Minister Mickey Amery wrote Tuesday. “We encourage Elections Alberta to withdraw its court reference and permit Albertans their democratic right to participate in the citizen initiative process,” Amery continued, referring to the petition phase prior to a ballot measure.

McClure hasn’t explained if the question, the weighty one of “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a sovereign country and cease to be a province in Canada?” was referred to the courts because of any specific concerns, only saying Monday that provincial laws require potential referendum questions to respect more than 30 sections of the Constitution.

Sounds like friction. For her part Smith doesn’t actually favor independence but like most conservative politicians who are just in it for the money like Kevin McCarthy and David Cameron she’s always gotta cater to the extremes and let them fuck everything up instead of getting in the way. It’s probably only a matter of time before the Make Alberta Great Again crowd start accusing her of secretly encouraging McClure’s very vaguely-premised resistance to the petition drive.

No it wasn’t in the head. Really. Well at least this time it was in the chest. Can’t speak for previous horse kickings suffered by dullard Tennessee MAGA Congressman Tim Burchett but according to the Washington Examiner it was square in the ribs. “While working on his farm over the weekend, Congressman Burchett was accidentally kicked by a horse. He suffered a broken rib and bruising but hasn’t missed a beat,” said a Burchett spokeswiener in a statement that did not elaborate on why the horse wasn’t in the mood for his affections. Or if Burchett was just really extra significantly more drunk than usual and mistook the horse that doesn’t like it for the one that does.

“US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Maine arrested an illegally present Jamaican offender after he unlawfully attempted to purchase a firearm. Officers with ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Boston in partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested Jon Luke Evans July 25 in Biddeford. At the time of his arrest, Evans was employed as a reserve police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department.”

“Evans admitted to ICE officers that he attempted to purchase the firearm for his employment as a police officer with the Old Orchard Beach Police Department. His attempt to purchase the firearm triggered an alert to ATF agents, who worked in coordination with ICE to make the arrest. Evans lawfully entered the United States Sept 24, 2023, at the Miami International Airport, in Florida.”

“However, he violated the terms of his lawful admission when he overstayed his visa. Evans was scheduled to depart the US October 1, 2023, but never boarded the flight,” says a Monday Homeland Security press release that leaves out some key details about what happened.

That was left to Old Orchard Beach Police Chief Elise Chard, who said in a press release that Evans had been cleared by DHS prior to being hired. “As part of the hiring process, the Town reviewed multiple forms of identification, including photo identification, and submitted Evans’ I-9 form to the Department of Homeland Security’s E-Verify Program. The Department of Homeland Security then verified that Evans was authorized to work in the US. Evans would not have been permitted to begin work as a reserve officer until and unless Homeland Security verified his status,” said Chard.

Fresh off her still completely opaque meeting with Trump defense lawyer who’s also currently empowered as the second highest ranking law enforcement official in the United States Todd Blanche, Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell as Politico reports the twisted groomer on Tuesday communicated through her lawyer that she’s only interested in talking to the House Oversight Committee’s investigators that she be granted immunity, to receive the questions in advance of the interview, to delay the deposition until after her appeals, and to relocate the deposition outside the prison where she lives. If not she’ll plead the Fifth and waste everyone’s time.

So yeah, she’s trying to back out. Shocking that she’d do such a thing after a completely private closed-door meeting with the Orange God Emperor’s top criminal defense lawyer, right?
