Whoa, what a curveball Speaker Jesus Dork threw right there. Next he’s gonna lie about Trump’s approval ratings… And yeah he did lie about Trump’s approval ratings in the second half of the clip.

Brazilian federal police on Friday raided the home and political office of disgraced former President Jair Bolsonaro, seizing cash and documents, Reuters reports, adding that the raid was quickly followed by a judge ordering Jair to wear an electronic ankle monitor, stop using social media, and to cease communications with his son Eduardo, who’s in DC lobbying convicted felon President Trump’s regime to help his dad escape consequences for his 2022 coup attempt and other crimes.

News of the raids comes less than a day after the fat fuck wrote a letter to Bolsonaro saying “I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you.”

“This trial should end immediately! I am not surprised to see you leading in the polls [Again, Bolsonaro is barred from running for office until 2030]; you were a highly respected and strong leader who served your country well. I share your commitment to listening to the voice of the people and I am very concerned about the attacks on free speech both in Brazil and in the United States coming out of the current government. I have strongly voiced my disapproval both publicly and through our Tariff policy. It is my sincere hope that the Government of Brazil changes course, stops attacking political opponents, and ends their ridiculous censorship regime. I will be watching closely,” Trump continued in the letter, alluding to the 50 percent tariffs imposed simply due to Bolsonaro’s legal issues, something that a shit ton of analysts have concluded will more likely hurt rather than help his party, similarly to how Trump fucked Canadian Tories in the spring elections.

“If there was a ‘smoking gun’ on Epstein, why didn’t the Dems, who controlled the ‘files’ for four years, and had Garland and Comey in charge, use it? BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Friday, falling into the same circular trap as his fans.

Because, to self-plagiarize once again, say Merrick Garland held a press conference in June 2023 and stood there at the podium with poster-sized copies of the pics of Trump with the faces and breasts of topless underage girls blurred out, holding up a stack of papers saying “These are the files from the FBI’s multiple investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and we have strong evidence that former President Trump was the victim of a blackmail scheme in which he engaged in sexual relations with underage female sex trafficking victims.” Does anyone think Trump fans would have saw that and said “Oh my God. I didn’t want it to be true, but here it is RIGHT in front of me. There’s no way those pics were photoshopped or generated by AI. All this testimony and these financial documents are ironclad. I’m so ashamed I ever supported that fucking monster”?

In no fucking universe would that have happened. The Biden DOJ literally found goddamned classified documents Trump had stolen from the White House in Mar-a-Lago and he and his fans said it was fake or they were planted, so how do you think any Epstein reveals would’ve gone? That Trump is already saying anything about him and Epstein his own government has is fake and was made up by Obama, Hillary, Comey, etc makes this even more unnecessary to type.

On this day in history in 1969, Senator Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island, killing 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, who was trapped inside the vehicle.

Kennedy escaped but failed to report the accident for 10 hours. He tried to rescue Kopechne and… pic.twitter.com/8Z2Qqj8Owc

Sources in convicted felon President Trump’s regime that a reopening of the infamous Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay could cost taxpayers over $2 billion, Axios reports on more waste, fraud, and abuse from the reich. The options range from demolishing every one of the historic but decrepit buildings on the island to build a large new supermax facility, to a scaled-back plan that would occupy only part of the site, to a a third of bidding it out to a private operator.

“We’re still in the early stages,” an regime official said. “We need a lot more study, a lot more specificity, before the president decides. But $2 billion might just be too much money for him.” The other consideration is time: The fat fuck wants it done before 2028, making some slapdick effort where they just build some lame, dangerous, piece of shit operation like “Alligator Alcatraz” likely.

That last bit was not actually in the Axios article. It’s just easy to see where this is going.

Spandex-wearing grapple-freak Jim Jordan will on Friday sit for a deposition in a lawsuit brought by four former wrestlers on the Ohio State team circa 1990 over the sexual abuse by team doctor Richard Strauss that Jordan did nothing to report or prevent, NBC News reports.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, the pressure very obviously having gotten to him to do something like this.

President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts. pic.twitter.com/hOXzdTcYYB

The “subject to Court approval” also probably means they’re going to make the motions to unseal knowing EXACTLY which ones a court will NOT approve so they can blame some federal judge for it.

“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued. Mr Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but, obviously, did not have the power to do so. The Editor of The Wall Street Journal, Emma Tucker, was told directly by Karoline Leavitt, and by President Trump, that the letter was a FAKE, but Emma Tucker didn’t want to hear that. Instead, they are going with a false, malicious, and defamatory story anyway.”

“President Trump will be suing The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp, and Mr. Murdoch, shortly. The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist. President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal. It has truly turned out to be a ‘Disgusting and Filthy Rag’ and, writing defamatory lies like this, shows their desperation to remain relevant. If there were any truth at all on the Epstein Hoax, as it pertains to President Trump, this information would have been revealed by Comey, Brennan, Crooked Hillary, and other Radical Left Lunatics years ago. It certainly would not have sat in a file waiting for ‘TRUMP’ to have won three Elections. This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS!” posted Jeffrey Epstein’s dear friend Thursday after they printed a story about Trump drawing a naked female body on a letter to Jeff.

Convicted felon President Trump in 2003 wrote a birthday note to his actual pal Jeffrey Epstein that, in the words of the Wall Street Journal contains “several lines of typewritten text framed by the outline of a naked woman, which appears to be hand-drawn with a heavy marker. A pair of small arcs denotes the woman’s breasts, and the future president’s signature is a squiggly ‘Donald’ below her waist, mimicking pubic hair” and concludes: “Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret,” which of course the fat bastard denies ever having written or drawn.

“This is not me. This is a fake thing. It’s a fake Wall Street Journal story,” Trump told them. “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women. It’s not my language. It’s not my words. I’m gonna sue The Wall Street Journal just like I sued everyone else,” if they printed the article, sourced from a leather-bound collection of notes for the dead pimp’s 50th birthday by his then-girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. Others who submitted letter for the album include billionaire Victoria’s Secret founder Leslie Wexner and Trump-allied attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Wow I can’t believe Epstein killed himself before realizing it was all a hoax

“We write regarding the Department of Justice and its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and records. Last week, the Senate Appropriations Committee, by a unanimous bipartisan vote, directed you and the Department to preserve and retain all of the Epstein files and to submit a report on the records to the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies.”

“This unanimous vote reflects the urgent need to provide transparency and accountability with respect to the Epstein files. There is no reason to wait until the bill with our amendment makes its way through Congress. We call upon you to follow the bipartisan directive of the Appropriations Committee and release the Epstein files without delay. The case of Jeffrey Epstein is a deeply disturbing one, with horrifying sexual abuse of over 1,000 young women and girls. From the lenient plea deal he received in Florida in 2008 to the end of his case with his death in prison in 2019, survivors of his abuse have been denied the full accounting of his crimes and the justice they deserve. We must ensure that the American people can have confidence in a justice system that operates without secrecy or undue influence— especially in the handling of such a prominent case involving the sexual exploitation and trafficking of so many victims. Delivering transparency in this case is necessary to providing accountability and answers to the American people” write Dem Senators Dick Durbin and Chris Van Hollen in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Jesus Dork Speaker Mike Johnson and other House GOP leaders are considering a non-binding resolution calling for the full release of the Epstein files in order to quell anger from Republicans on the Rules Committee tired of getting jammed up by Dems on amendment votes for it, Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman reports on a not-really-an-exit-ramp exit ramp for the bespectacled sycophant.

“Republicans on Rules are pissed they are being asked to oppose these amendments. And GOP members of Rules want political cover. RULES was supposed to meet this morning. They still haven’t even scheduled a hearing on rescissions. All because of this row over EPSTEIN and the House GOP’s handling of it,” Sherman writes, underscoring how badly this is derailing actual legislating.

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Dem Ron Wyden tells the New York Times his staff have found filings by four big banks in which they flagged as suspicious more than $1.5 billion in transactions to and from dead pimp Jeffrey Epstein by numerous wealthy individuals, the kind of shit that would have taken Obama, Biden, Hillary, John Brennan, and James Comey a lot of work to make up.

“We felt from the beginning this was a follow-the-money case,” said Wyden. “This horrific sex-trafficking operation cost Epstein a lot of money, and he had to get that money from somewhere.”

“After a one‑day trial, a jury found Kyle Travis Colton, 37, of Citrus Heights, guilty Tuesday of one count of receiving child pornography, Acting US Attorney Kimberly A Sanchez announced. According to evidence presented at trial and in court documents, during a search of Colton’s home law enforcement recovered his laptop, which contained copious images and videos depicting the graphic sexual abuse of young children. The jury heard evidence that between July 2022 and December 2023, Colton downloaded these depictions of children engaged in sexually explicit conduct. The material was saved on Colton’s computer desktop and in his downloads folder, and he had user-created bookmarks linking to known child pornography websites.”

“This case is the product of an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorneys Whitnee Goins and Shea J Kenny are prosecuting the case. Colton is scheduled to be sentenced by US District Judge Dale A Drozd on Oct 27, 2025. Colton faces a maximum statutory penalty of 20 years in prison and a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables,” says a DOJ/Northern District of California press release.

What it doesn’t say is that Colton is a Capitol rioter who was pardoned on January 20th with every other of the assholes who sacked the US Capitol in 2021, nor that Colton tried to argue to the court that the pardon also covered the child porn charge because the Justice Department argued the same for two similarly dispositioned insurrectionists, one of whom stole grenades and classified info from the government, the other having pleaded guilty to possession of firearms.

Much like the regular dipshits who cry “this isn’t what I voted for” when they get what they voted for through a spouse or employee getting arrested and detained by ICE, Republican Nevada Congressman Mark Amodei now says he didn’t vote to decrease a tax deduction on gambling losses in the Big Beautiful Bill. Except he kind of did vote for it because, unlike the fucking idiots who thought Trump wouldn’t deport “family-oriented” undocumented immigrants because they chose not to listen to him and his campaign (or were misled through propaganda) the wonky 90 percent cap on the deductibility on losses was in the bill, in plain black and white.

Stupid story short, before this bill, losses after wins were 100 percent deductible and any gambler broke even by winning $50,000 and then losing it would owe taxes for $0 of the winnings. That is until the Big Beautiful Bill dropped the deductibility to 90 percent, meaning that $5,000 of that is taxable… Which is stupid and this fucking idiot voted for it whether he admits it or not.

A 35 year-old Thai woman has been arrested on suspicion of crimes including money laundering and receiving stolen goods after blackmailing at least nine Buddhist monks – among them several prominent abbots of prominent temples – by enticing them into effing and then extorting them for the equivalent of millions in US dollars in exchange for her not posting pics and videos of them breaking their sacred vow of celibacy during said effings, the Times of London reports.

The scheme by Wilawan Emsawat, who would make contact with the monks on social media and rope them into the Bangkoking at her luxury home outside of Bangkok, unraveled after last month’s abrupt ghosting of Phra Thep Wachirapamok – aka “Arch” – the abbot of Wat Tri Thotsathep Worawihan temple in the capital city until he quit and fled to Laos. Wilawan had claimed to “Arch” she was pregnant by him and demanded approximately $239,970.98 in payoff fees in exchange for her silence. When he refused she told other monks, leading to his exodus – and another monk saying he had been in what he thought was a long-term relationship with Wilawan but then discovered she was effing another one. In all Wilawan’s bank records reveal she had raked in the equivalent of nearly $12 million USD over the last three years of her Buddhist monk sextortion scheme.

Dems in California’s congressional delegation and in the state legislature are on board with Gov Gavin Newsom’s plan to retaliate for convicted felon President Trump and Texas Republicans’ move to try to squeeze between three and five Lone Star State Dems out through redistricting with a gerrymandering of their own aimed at between five and seven Republicans, Punchbowl reports.

The two options they have for erasing districts such as those held by Republicans Kevin Kiley, Ken Calvert, car thief Darrell Issa, Kim, David Valadao, and Doug LaMalfa include (1) Newsom calls a special session to put a measure on the ballot to rollback Prop 20, the 2010 referendum that established the independent redistricting commission that most of the nine GOP US Representatives in the Golden State owe their seats to. Dems may throw in a “poison pill” of a voter ID law into the ballot measure to entice MAGA voters to back it (2) Just ignore Proposition 20 because California’s state constitution does not explicitly ban redistricting mid-decade. It would however run into a shit ton of legal challenges from Republicans in the state, but it’s the less expensive of the two routes.

Convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday sounded defeated and tired that his party isn’t doing enough to defend him on the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax” as fathead propagandist John Solomon tried to cheer him up by encouraging politically motivated investigations against his enemies, including a new one to “look into” the “hoax” of the Epstein files… Seems kind of late in the game for this.

At least Pam Bondi fired James Comey’s daughter Maurene, the lead prosecutor in the 2019 case.

The National Weather Service’s US Tsunami Warning System on Wednesday issued an alert for a wave across Souther Alaska after a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck 50 miles off the coast of Sand Point, on the Alaska Peninsula at 12:37 PM AKDT. Any wave, if one happens, is expected to begin hitting within the next 10 to 15 minutes of the printing. Fingers crossed nothing happens.
