A number of the more pilled January 6th insurrectionists are, since getting fucking pardoned on day one wasn’t enough, outraged at the Trump Regime over the lack of validation for their insane conspiracy theories that they were somehow entrapped by Deep State agents into sacking the US Capitol and are especially furious that the five year statute of limitations on charging said nonexistent agents expires Tuesday, the New York Times reports in a review of the overall dirtscape.

“President Trump campaigned on there being feds in the crowd that stirred up trouble, but we haven’t seen any action against them yet. The bottom line is we’d like to see some action,” said Will Pope, one of the rioters, who was never going to see any action and now he really won’t.

“If the true perpetrators of Jan 6 aren’t held accountable before the statute of limitations expires on Jan 6, 2026, count me OUT of the midterms. I’ll be running AGAINST the GOP,” tweeted felon rioter Shane Jenkins, who smashed a window with a tomahawk and threw a desk at Capitol cops.

Parallel to this “fedsurrection” dead end is the similarly imminent failure of an effort to set up some sort of public compensation fund for the offenders, largely spearheaded by St Louis Man-Karen Mark McCloskey – the now-disbarred ambulance chaser MAGA famous for parlaying his pointing an AR-15 at Black Lives Matter protestors into an embarrassing shitshow of a 2022 US Senate primary campaign – and Peter Ticktin, Trump’s assclown military boarding school roommate who in 2023 got himself, Alina Habba, and the Orange God Emperor hit with nearly $1 million in sanctions by a Florida federal judge for gross incompetence in handling their failed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton et al for the Russia investigation that largely consumed the first half of Trump’s first failed administration.

The now week-long protests over economic conditions in Iran have claimed at least 35 lives, just two of them members of security forces, the AP reports citing estimates compiled by the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. Guess Tehran isn’t all that interested in hearing out convicted felon President Trump’s threats against their leadership over killing civilian protestors.

So kind of Sean Hannity to give Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado valuable airtime to plead with the Orange Tyant to endorse her as the next leader of her country and offer to “share” her Nobel Peace Prize with him. That however will not be good enough. The medal and official certificate need be surrendered in full to his corpulence, plus the 11 million Swedish krona in cash before he even considers it. Render unto Caesar, you lowly, undeserving Nobel-stealing puke.

“About time. I feel for legitimate recipients but their inept democratic politicians put them in this position. The fraud is rampant and these politicians benefited from supporting these fraudsters will kickback campaign support or even more in some cases” – Top comment on the New York Post article “Trump cuts off $10B in funding to five blue states for child care, social services over fraud fears,” posted Monday after Trump told them he’s pulling the plug on money for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. Those toddlers will understand… Eventually, if they don’t already.

Lost count of how many times Ol’ Gymbo insisted his Orange Dom commands trust.

“Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!” POSTED PRESIDENT TRUMP on Monday, spelling hepatitis like a fucking idiot.

Rhode Island Republican Party Chairman Joe Powers on Sunday announcing his resignation from his post effective January 15th because he has a day job which prevents him from devoting himself to running a major political party in one of the 50 states in the union, the Rhode Island Current reports.

“The role of Chairman demands constant focus and daily engagement, especially moving into an election year, neither of which Chairman Powers can provide at this time,” said the party in a press release while Powers was in Tampa to meet with a client for his consulting business. Powers had a rough time winning reelection to a second two-year term last year, which was actually the first contested party leadership race in 30 years, yet he’s gotta pay the bills with his day job.

Who the hell knows how many of the state Republican or Democratic party chairs are actually paid positions. Texas GOP’s chairmanship is a $150,000/year job, the Arizona Dem chair is a $12,000 per month “contract” position. Those are just anecdotes and there’s no comprehensive list, but one can imagine that the size of the party/state as well as its electorate’s competitiveness probably corresponds to it and as such the Rhode Island GOP chair is probably ranked somewhere around the Wyoming Dem chair in pay/benefits – if any. Still at the same time maybe part of the reason that Rhody is such a deep Blue State has to do with the fact that the GOP chair would quit to devote more time to his day job and that making it a paid, full-time professional position could end up being a wise investment. If nothing else they could at least get someone to funnel more money to the national party by going down to Newport yacht clubs to hustle the Roman numeral Brahmins.

“AEM, the essential source for environmental insights, today released its 2025 US Lightning Report, revealing that Oklahoma has dethroned Florida to become the nation’s lightning concentration capital. With approximately 73 flashes per square mile, Oklahoma displaced the state that has traditionally dominated this ranking, signaling a broader surge in lightning activity across the Great Plains. Overall, AEM’s Earth Networks Total Lightning Network® detected nearly 430 million lightning pulses within 88.4 million lightning flashes across the US in 2025, a 9.8 percent increase from the prior year,” says AEM in a press release on Florida getting zapped from the top spot.

“While Oklahoma led in lightning concentration, Texas dominated in sheer volume and storm intensity. The state recorded more than 13 million lightning flashes, exceeding its historical average by 1.3 million. As an additional indicator of storm severity derived from lightning behavior, Texas also registered the highest number of Dangerous Thunderstorm Alerts (DTAs), a proprietary AEM metric that flags periods of exceptionally intense lightning rates associated with severe storms and provides an early signal of rapidly intensifying thunderstorm activity. Overall, the Great Plains accounted for roughly half of the top 10 states with the most intense lightning storms, underscoring the region’s reputation as a severe weather hotspot,” the fucking electrifying statement continued.

Asked by CNN’s Manu Raju if he’s okay with convicted felon President Trump now claiming the United States runs Venezuela, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said “Well, we’re gonna try and get more information about that,” adding his team will be briefed on the matter this week.

Asked again what he thought Trump meant, Thune said simply he’s “hoping to find out more.”

Venezuela Fury, 16, daughter of famous UK Traveler boxer Tyson Fury, told fans during an Instagram live AMA on Sunday that she expects her wedding with her boyfriend, 17 year-old Noah Price, also a boxer and a Traveler, to be in May or June, People Magazine reports on the latest Venezuela news.

“I’m trying to get everything booked for may/june time but I’m not sure when it will be,” said Venezuela, whose dad Tyson 37, got married to her mom, Paris, 35, in 2008. They have seven children together and it’s not clear if Venezuela is the oldest but holy shit these people are weird.

Senior Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is “seriously” considering running for governor of her state following incumbent Tim Walz’s decision to drop his bid for a third term, Axios reports.

Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday pleaded not guilty to the multicount federal indictment charging him with aggravated Venezuelanism, conspiracy to commit Venezuelanism, Venezuelaing in a restricted area, and Venezuelation of justice, all serious federal offenses, CNN reports and they probably have the real charges against Maduro in their article on the proceedings in New York. It was about drug trafficking or Tren de Aragua something.

BREAKING UPDATE: Sources indicate this video feed is of the real United Nations in New York City, modeling what an actually effective supranational organization would do if its resolutions and condemnations had any real consequences to enforce the international order.

“Over twenty-five years in the US Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that. My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head – all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of service members have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve,” says Arizona Dem Senator Mark Kelly in a statement responding to binge-drinking date rapist Secretary of “War” Pete Hegseth’s stupid demotion order.

“Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired service member that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that. If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got – not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government,” Kelly continued ripping the fallback option that came probably after Pentagon lawyers advised Pete that they had no chance of convicting Kelly in a case the Suckretary had already wrecked even if the charges were actually real.

Among the eight – or maybe 15, depending on the source – Republican candidates running in the not-yet-scheduled Georgia 14th Congressional District GOP primary to replace now-former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is creepy incel state Senator Colton Moore, famous for living in his mom’s basement and getting the shit kicked out of him by state police last year for attempting to disrupt Governor Brian Kemp’s State of the State address, Atlanta News First reports.

Moore, who in 2023 was expelled from the state Senate’s GOP conference thus making him technically an “independent” as far as legislative order is concerned, touts himself as “A Fearless Fighter for Northwest Georgia. A Proven Warrior for President Trump,” on his campaign website and you know he originally had those sentences reversed until some consultant strongly advised him to put the part about the district first. The “About” page is long on shit like “In 2024, I exposed a secret room at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport packed with illegal aliens, guarded by US military personnel,” and “I serve as President Trump’s floor leader in the Georgia Senate. I’ve battled bloated budgets that pile on debt… and took on Big Pharma to make ivermectin accessible. I even exposed state funds possibly propping up illegal immigration schemes at places like the Hyundai plant” and short on “I enjoy spending weekends with my lovely wife Sarah and our sons, Jefferson and Davis.”

This is because, as mentioned, Moore’s an incel who hasn’t yet found a woman willing to date him, let alone marry him and bear his two sons that he definitely would name Jefferson and Davis.

Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he…

“Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 USC § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.”

“To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly’s official and permanent military personnel file,” and blah blah blah Secretary Drunken Date Rape continued announcing his chickenshit off-ramp.

“We have taken in, and will soon be receiving, more than 600 Billion Dollars in Tariffs, but the Fake News Media refuses to talk about it because they hate and disrespect our Country, and want to interfere with the upcoming Tariff decision, one of the most important ever, of the United States Supreme Court. Because of Tariffs, our Country is financially, AND FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY STANDPOINT, FAR STRONGER AND MORE RESPECTED THAN EVER BEFORE,” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, set off by God knows what the “Fake News Media” actually said that set him off, but hopefully it was some segment in which the $600 billion was correctly described as the revenue from a tax unlawfully imposed upon American consumers by fiat.
