Bullet-point article factory Axios’s reporters say they’re increasingly hearing from ICE agents that morale at the tip of Stephen Miller’s spear of compensation is pretty low as the pressure to increase arrests mounts and that they haven’t once met their collective quota of 3,000 a day.

There aren’t any direct quotes to this effect but it tracks with other reporting of a sagging esprit d’corps. “Some agents are stressed by the tactics some of their colleagues are using in making arrests. Others are disheartened by the response that masked, heavily armed agents have received in several communities,” Axios writes in one of their bullet points, ending it there without an “Oh wow, you mean people have been upset by seeing their neighbors get ripped out of their homes by fucking masked stormtroopers? Wonder where you got the hint about that.”

Anyway, good. Fuck them. For four years all we heard from the MAGA kids was that the FBI should be disbanded and replaced and blah blah blah. How successful Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are going to be at making that remains to be seen but the fact that they both came out and said Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself probably speaks to the FBI running them than them running the FBI. The point of that tangent being that the next Dem administration should actually disband ICE or barring that just completely cripple it beyond repair. The culture cannot be changed. ICE needs to melt.

Noted hospital bomber Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu visited a Tel-Aviv hospital that took damage from an Iranian rocket strike on Thursday, telling media “all Israelis are paying the price” of the Iranian counterattacks, and Haaretz actually wrote this part: “adding that while some people were killed, his family was also affected by the war when his son Avner had to cancel his wedding.”

“There are people who were killed, families who grieved loved ones, I really appreciate that,” said Netanyahu, adding “for the second time, my son Avner had to cancel his wedding due to the threat of missile launches, certainly a heavy personal price paid by him, his fiancee and our family.”

Not sure what to add to that. Like a joke about Avner’s wedding getting postponed because he’s having second thoughts about living a lie while he’s in the closet and the war’s just a convenient cover story might’ve worked if not for the “See? We’re suffering too” to the families of dead Israelis.

“The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT. This has gone on for years, but they never change the incompetent polling company that does their work. Now a new FoxNews poll comes out this morning giving me a little more than 50 percent at the Border, and yet the Border is miraculously perfect, NOBODY WAS ABLE TO COME IN LAST MONTH. 60,000 people came in with Sleepy Joe in the same month last year. I hate FAKE pollsters, one of the Worst, but Fox will never change their discredited pollster!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday morning.

His screams about Fox News’s polling out of the way, Trump then turned to the Wall Street Journal’s reporting, posting simply they have “No Idea what my thoughts are concerning Iran!” likely referring to the Tuesday night story where they broke that he approved an attack plan but did not execute it.

Libs watching the mini-MAGA civil war over whether convicted felon President Trump should bomb Iran have almost universally ended up siding with Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Steve Bannon, and so on, nauseating as it is to be “rooting” for those racist freaks to prevail over Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, Laura Loomer, etc, hoping for Tucker and Bannon to talk the fat fuck out of it.

However nauseating it is to be giving the likes of the QAdulteress credit for actually being principled, the emergence of a third faction is actually making fucking Ted Cruz look good by comparison: This dipshit Joni Ernst and her fellow Republican Senators Bernie Moreno and Katie Britt, just saying they’re for whatever Trump is for, surrendering all their agency to the unpredictable whims of the fat fuck. As shitty and stupid and reckless Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are on this matter at least they’re FOR something they appear to actually sincerely believe is the correct course of action.

But what makes this fucking gummy worm Ernst and the other two’s cowardice even more glaring is that they aren’t really required to take a side. Just saying “It’s an extremely thorny question with a lot of risks but just as many potential rewards. I’m going to be having a lot of discussions over the next few days and will pray that no matter what happens our brave service men and women will remain as safe as possible” would be enough to make it through these stupid TV interviews.

Texas state Senate Bill 1362, titled the “Anti-Red Flag Act,” outlaws any Texas entity from recognizing, serving, or enforcing “extreme risk protective orders” that are not issued under Texas law. These orders are defined as those with the “primary purpose of reducing the risk of death or injury related to a firearm” by “prohibiting a person from owning, possessing, or receiving a firearm” or “requiring a person to surrender” one, “not issued on the basis of conduct that resulted in a criminal charge,” and declares that any federal rule or law that infringes on a person’s “right of due process, keeping and bearing arms, or free speech” through a red flag order “shall have no effect.”

It also creates a new crime: anyone who “serves or enforces or attempts to serve or enforce” such an order commits a state jail felony. The bill explicitly proscribes state entities from accepting any sort of “federal grant funds” related to red flag enforcement… And yeah, the bill’s ready for Republican Governor “Low Energy Greg” Abbott’s signature, per the Texas Tribune. So is another one legalizing sawed-off shotguns and one outlawing local gun buyback programs. Yeehaw libtards!

Besides being sick fucking freaks what do Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgeway, Dennis “BTK” Rader, and Richard “Night Stalker” Ramirez have in common? They grew up in areas polluted by lead and arsenic from industrial smelting facilities – many concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, where the first two – and plenty of other psychopaths – got their starts, author Caroline Fraser argues in her new book titled “Murderland: Crime and Bloodlust in the Time of Serial Killers,” previewed by Grist.

“Recipes for making a serial killer may vary, including such ingredients as poverty, crude forceps deliveries, poor diet, physical and sexual abuse, brain damage, and neglect,” Fraser, a Pulitzer Prize winner, writes in the book. “Many horrors play a role in warping these tortured souls, but what happens if we add a light dusting from the periodic table on top of all that trauma?”

Damn that’s snappy. Could be an indicator that the book contains more valuable insights than the vast majority of the “content” produced by the true crime TikTokers and podcasters out there.

Poor wealthiest man in human history whose rocket that’s supposed to go to Mars exploded again just like his bladder from all the drug abuse, not to mention his brain that’s so addled he’s posting an MS Paint of Pepe smoking a cigarette when he’s got an extremely powerful AI at his command.

In a statement issued Wednesday but posted as if it were a news article, WDIV Detroit VP and General Manager Bob Ellis writes that “We here at Local 4 have been made aware of an external investigation regarding Hank Winchester. As of this time, he has been placed on administrative leave. While the investigation is ongoing – we won’t make any further comments.”

Which is a shame because they could’ve had the scoop that crosstown rivals Fox 2 Detroit got about the “Help Me Hank” watchdog beat reporter’s indiscretions: Last Friday cops executed a search warrant at Winchester’s home and seized his electronics after another man reported that Hank had helped himself to some “unwanted sexual advances” toward the man during a massage. Winchester is reportedly studying massage therapy on the side so the unwelcome Hanky Panky attempt presumably occurred during some sort of practice session but there’s no further detail on that.

Also unclear is why a sexual assault accusation led to a judge signing off on a search warrant, an indication that there’s more to this than just Hank getting a little too handsy.

An anonymous “House Republican aide” admits to Punchbowl that the GOP are having a hard time selling the Big Beautiful Bill to the public and the Democrats aren’t making it any easier, at all.

“A messaging void is political death,” Punchbowl quotes the aide a few lines down from godawful polling numbers for the bill, like the Quinnipiac survey last week finding it at just 67 percent support among Republican respondents, and 27 percent overall. Of course this being America dominated by the MAGA Republican Party, Punchbowl does not waste any space entertaining the idea that the unpopularity of it will end up sinking the bill because lol no fucking way is that happening.

Could some of the shittier provisions get watered down? Definitely. Some already have. But as far as adding trillions to the debt and fucking over poor people goes it’s just a question of how many trillions and how badly they’re going to get fucked. They don’t give a shit how unpopular that is.

“Senior” officials in the Trump Regime are prepping “for the possibility of a strike on Iran in coming days,” Bloomberg reports, writing verbatim that “Some of them pointed to potential plans for a weekend strike. Top leaders at a handful of federal agencies have begun getting ready for an attack.” The agencies were not named nor whether they’re strictly military in nature.

“Erick is about to make landfall along the southern coast of Mexico. Its rapid strengthening episode has ended, likely due to the interaction with land. The eye has become obscured on satellite imagery, and the intensity is adjusted to 120 kt in agreement with the latest objective estimates from UW/CIMSS. Erick remains an extremely dangerous category 4 hurricane. However, rapid weakening will occur after the center moves inland and the system moves over the mountainous terrain of Mexico,” says a National Hurricane Center bulletin on the very freaking early season storm

“Smoothing out the trochoidal wobbles in the track, the motion estimate, 310/8 kt, remains about the same as before. This general motion, on the south side of a weak mid-level ridge, is likely to continue until the system dissipates within the next day or two. The official track forecast is just slightly west of the previous one and close to the latest corrected consensus, HCCA, guidance.”

The riveting saga of the disposition of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu’s dead body entered its 12th or maybe 13th day on Thursday as Lungu’s family delayed the repatriation of the remains for a second time out of fears that the successor Lungu so hated, Hakainde Hichilema, would show up to receive his remains at the airport, ZimNews reports. The newest twist in the sordid drama came when the Lungu family found “it very difficult to believe that the government will stick to their end of the agreement” to stay out of the funeral planning, even though the Lungus had agreed this week to allow Hichilema to preside over a state funeral next Sunday. So who knows what the hell’s going on.

Convicted felon President Trump has been asking top military officials whether the “bunker buster” bomb capable of destroying Iran’s main nuclear facility, found only in the US arsenal, will actually get the job done – a question that Axios sells as indicating that the fat bastard is leaning toward it.

“We’re going to be ready to strike Iran. We’re not convinced yet that we’re necessary. And we want to be unnecessary, but I think the president’s just not convinced we are needed yet,” a source said.

The Republican treasurer of Benton County, Missouri was arrested last week on charges of enticement of a child under 15 years old and sexual misconduct involving a child under 15 years old, after he allegedly tried to proposition underage users on Grindr, KOMU reports.

Richard Renno, 62 of Lincoln, allegedly admitted to investigators that he used Grindr to talk to boys under 18 years old “two or three times,” according to the probable cause statement.

Couchfucking Vice President JD Vance was banned from lib-centric Twitter alternative BlueSky in under 15 minutes on Wednesday, some right wing influencer chode on Twitter reports.

A new Fox News national survey finds former Vice President Kamala Harris leading convicted felon President Trump in favorability ratings by 49 to 45 percent, meaning absolutely nothing at this point in time seven months after the fat fuck got absolutely humiliated in a debate against her, pussied out of the next one, and yet still won the 2024 presidential election because eggs were too expensive.

The survey also found Trump’s approval specific to the matter of inflation at 34 percent, though his overall job performance approval was only 8 percent underwater at 46 percent approve to 54 percent disapprove, better than what a lot of other pollsters have been finding for him lately.

Workers in Peru’s capital city of Lima halted work on digging a new natural gas pipeline were forced to halt their progress last week when they suddenly encountered a dead body buried just 20 inches under the surface of the street, right in their path of the pipeline, the AP reports.

An employee of the gas utility says the age of the dead body makes this one more special than the other dead bodies laborers in the city sometimes come across while conducting their work. “We found remains and evidence that there could be a pre-Hispanic burial,” said Jose Aliaga, an archaeologist who’s on the payroll of gas company Calidda apparently because they find old dead bodies all the time. Another dead body expert, Professor Pieter Van Dalen, dean of the College of Archaeologists of Peru, said “it is very common to find archaeological remains on the Peruvian coast, including Lima, mainly funerary elements: tombs, burials, and, among these, mummified individuals.”

You know Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham might be fucking weasels but at least they’re for something rather than this idiot standing there and saying whatever Trump decides is the right choice on the kind of consequential matter of whether or not to order the US military to drop bombs on Iran.

The home of the late Minnesota state House’s Dem leader Melissa Hortman and the scene of her and her husband’s murder over the weekend at the hands of MAGA terrorist Vance Boelter was broken into sometime late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning, the St Cloud Times reports.

The home was under surveillance from a camera mounted on a police trailer stationed out front but not in the back where the intruder(s) pried open a plywood board that had been nailed on top of a window and busted their way in. The burglars had searched the home but appear to have left without taking anything, according to family members. This may be because, per cops, the same relatives had removed valuables from the home on Tuesday before the break-in.

That of course assumes that simple burglary was the motive. Because if they didn’t find the Rolex or the iPad they might’ve stolen if they’d broken in a day earlier and still left without even taking so much as a bottle of vodka or a bag of Tostitos then it raises the more troubling possibility that this asshole or assholes were not there to steal anything but “truthers” there trying to find some sort of “evidence” that the murder was a “false flag” staged by the Deep State and blah blah blah.
