“We’ve got to turn the rhetoric down. We’ve got to turn the temperature down in this country… We’re all Americans, and we have to treat one another with dignity and respect… We can have vigorous debate, but it needs to end there” – House Speaker Mike Johnson, July 15, 2024.

“I’m not gonna give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested. But he ought to be tar and feathered, I’l say that” – House Speaker Mike Johnson, June 10, 2025.

A flash YouGov survey of 4,309 US adults with the sole question of “Do you approve or disapprove of deploying Marines to the Los Angeles area to respond to protests over the federal government’s immigration enforcement?” finds just 34 percent approving to 47 percent disapproving, with 19 percent unsure, much of that approval propped up by 68 percent support among Republican respondents to 13 percent GOP disapproval, plus 19 percent unsure what to think. Among independents and Dems support was at 27 and 12 percent, respectively, to 50 and 75 percent disapproving, respectively. “Not Sure” scored 13 percent among Dems and 24 percent with indies.

Also on Tuesday YouGov dropped their weekly survey for the Economist and, true to form, they found some wacky shit from Trump 2024 voters. On “Do you think that Donald Trump was involved in crimes allegedly committed by Jeffrey Epstein?” just 71 percent of MAGAmericans said no while fully a tenth said yes, they do believe the president they voted for was a client of the dead pimp’s sex trafficking ring, and the rest – 19 percent – said they didn’t know. Overall a plurality at 42 percent said yes while 32 percent said no and 26 percent were unsure. Among Kamala Harris 2024 voters 80 percent said yes, 4 percent no, and 16 percent didn’t know, which makes enough sense given the lib inclination toward skepticism, people not fully reading the 55th out of 55 survey questions, etc.

“Only six months ago, a ‘soft landing’ appeared to be in sight: the global economy was stabilizing after an extraordinary string of calamities both natural and man-made over the past few years. That moment has passed. The world economy today is once more running into turbulence. Without a swift course correction, the harm to living standards could be deep. International discord – about trade, in particular – has upended many of the policy certainties that helped shrink extreme poverty and expand prosperity after the end of World War II. This year alone, our forecasts indicate the upheaval will slice nearly half a percentage point off the global GDP growth rate that had been expected at the start of the year, cutting it to 2.3 percent. That’s the weakest performance in 17 years, outside of outright global recessions. By 2027, global GDP growth is expected to average just 2.5 percent in the 2020s – the slowest pace of any decade since the 1960s,” says the foreword to the World Bank’s twice-yearly growth forecast, not naming names or anything, buuuuuuut…

Still not naming names but getting closer, the actual report forecasts US GDP growth at 1.4 percent in 2025, downgraded from January’s forecast of 2.3 percent and half of 2024’s 2.8 percent growth.

“Today, the results of the 2025 DC Bar President-Elect [sic] election were announced and although I did not prevail, I stand with a heart full of gratitude and a mind heavy with concern for the future of the DC Bar. I had hoped this race would be a contest of ideas to enhance services for our widely varied members – a chance to discuss free, on-demand CLEs, instant certificates of good standing, a stronger ethics hotline, and expanded pro bono programs that would unite us in service, from big law to solo practice. Instead, I am disgusted by how rabid partisans lurched this election into the political gutter, turning a professional campaign into baseless attacks, identity politics, and partisan recrimination. Never before has a DC Bar election been leveraged along partisan lines in this way, an explicit call for members to vote based not on what’s best for the institution but their political affiliations. Their tactics, which included smearing me over my family and peddling conspiracies about my intentions, were not just an assault on my integrity but on the DC Bar’s very mission.”

“But by giving in to these partisan impulses, we risk a never-ending cycle of political strong-arming, where every election becomes a proxy for national divides, and the Bar’s unity is fractured beyond repair. I caution that the Bar may never recover from this politicization – a tragedy that would erode its ability to serve as a home for all members, replacing impartiality with ideological litmus tests that alienate and divide. We’ve seen other institutions fall to this temptation, losing their credibility and purpose. The Bar must not follow that path,” wrote scumbag Attorney General Pam Bondi’s brother Brad in a LinkedIn post on Monday after his crushing 91 to 9 percent defeat in the DC Bar election.

The Biden Administration’s Departments of Justice and Homeland Security kept tabs on foreigners coming and going from drug addicted billionaire Elon Musk’s properties in 2022 and 2023, the Wall Street Journal reports on what has to be an intentional leak from someone on Team Ketamine to try to polish his image among the MAGA base by making him a victim of “spying.”

Maybe should’ve added a “(?)” to the headline because what this gaupropagandaleiter is saying isn’t entirely clear. Or maybe it is clear but it’s so baffling that she’d actually say this shit and admit, even obliquely, that Republicans are treading a dangerous path. The Trump Regime themselves don’t seem to think so, and neither does Politico Playbook in their Tuesday morning jerkoff piece.

“We couldn’t script this any better. Democrats are again on the ’20’ side of an 80-20 issue… It’s the same thing that won Trump the election,” Politico quotes one “gleeful person close to the White House” as saying. They then write “In the eyes of the White House, Trump already had a clear mandate from voters for the mass deportation effort that was driving those ICE raids in LA. And aides believe the chaotic scenes that followed – masked protesters pelting police with rocks, setting fire to cars and waving Mexican flags on abandoned freeways – will only bolster public support for Trump’s hard-line approach. Indeed, every time a Dem speaks out against the president’s actions in LA, the White House is happier still. And guess who’s the ultimate foil? Enter California Gov Gavin Newsom…” Alright, enough Politico Playbook mushroom slobbering for one morning.

Then there was Axios on Monday with “Scoop: Cotton urges GOP senators to double down on fiery LA protests” complete with the “Why it matters: Republicans are convinced they have a winning issue” and the bullet points of “Americans have a choice between Republicans’ law and order vs the Democrats’ car-burning, illegal alien rioters,” that Tom Cotton’s staff wrote to other GOP Senators.

Yet here’s Frau Ingraham apprehensive over the situation’s potential to backfire on MAGA.

In an article billed as an “exclusive,” FBI Director Kash Patel tells John Solomon’s shitty site that the Bureau are “investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.”

And that’s all Patel said to Solomon for a piece headlined “Exclusive: FBI’s Patel says bureau investigating funding behind anti-ICE riots in LA,” which already oversells what Patel shared about the evidence that federal law enforcement have indicating that the unrest is being somehow funded by shadowy leftist and/or foreign malefactors, as K$H said “any and all,” and not “We obtained access to the Venmo accounts of the rioters that were arrested by Los Angeles-area law enforcement and already over a dozen of them contain transactions we deem highly suspicious.”

Put another way, it’s as though Patel had told Solomon that the FBI’s X-Files unit is investigating whether there are dead alien bodies in cold storage at Area 51 and then Solomon’s site’s headline said “Exclusive: FBI’s Patel says bureau’s X-Files unit investigating dead alien bodies at Area 51.”

“If NGOs are linked to these attacks, has federal funding been provided to any of them? The American public deserves transparency and assurance that their tax dollars are not being used to fund domestic political terrorism,” a March 12 Solomon article quotes a letter sent from white nationalist Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene to K$H and Attorney General Pam Bondi demanding information about the investigation into whether any NGO like the World Economic Forum or the World Trade Organization was behind the wave of lib attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships. No subsequent follow-up article on their response to the letter or any other further developments on the “investigation” into the attacks could be found on Solomon’s site.

Fearful of what will happen in the fairly likely event Dems retake the House majority next year, convicted felon President Trump is urging Texas Republicans to take a “ruthless” approach and re-draw the state’s congressional district lines, corralling many of the 25 Lone Star Republicans into an “emergency” Monday meeting to get them on board with the effort, the New York Times reports.

The response was less than enthusiastic as some members believe that, as their gerrymandered advantages are more or less maxed out in the state, a redrawing to put more MAGA voters in bluer districts could actually end up even backfiring if 2026 is anything like 2018, putting their seats in unnecessary jeopardy. The only member of the GOP delegation to comment afterward was Pete Sessions, who told the Times they all need to be “on the same page” with the plan. “We assured each other, you need to bone up. We need to have conversations. We need to think about what those impacts would be on the entire delegation.” Any effort would also require Gov Low Energy Greg Abbott to call a special session as the Texas state legislature does not reconvene until 2027.

Houston-area Dem state House Representative Ron Reynolds says he’s heard from a Republican colleague that’s what’s in the works. “From my understanding, this would be in July. This is something that they’re keeping very tight-lipped,” said Reynolds. Their chances of successfully jamming through the gerrymander before next March’s primary are unclear as there’s still an ongoing case over the 2021 redistricting brought by organizations representing Black and Hispanic voters.

By a margin of 400 to 0 to 2 on Monday the House approved a resolution condemning antisemitism, the two members voting present were Palestinian-American Michigan Dem Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib – no big shock there – and Marjorie Taylor Greene – and guess that’s not a shock either given the whole “space lasers” thing that rocketed her to national fame before her career even started.

“Condemning the rise in ideologically motivated attacks on Jewish individuals in the United States, including the recent violent assault in Boulder, Colorado, and reaffirming the House of Representatives commitment to combating antisemitism and politically motivated violence,” said the bill’s summary. Not very defensible for Tlaib, but emotions are still running high and her next statement will surely say something of that effect. More interesting will be the QAdulteress’s rationale and how she’s going to turn it into a free speech or religious freedom issue.

“US Northern Command has activated the Marine infantry battalion that was placed in an alert status over the weekend. Approximately 700 Marines with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division will seamlessly integrate with the Title 10 forces under Task Force 51 who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area. The activation of the Marines is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency. Task Force 51 is US Army North’s Contingency Command Post, which provides a rapidly deployable capability to partner with civil authorities and DoD entities in response to Homeland Defense and Homeland Security Operations.”

“Task Force 51 is comprised of approximately 2,100 National Guard soldiers in a Title 10 status and 700 active-duty Marines. Task Force 51 forces have been trained in de-escalation, crowd control, and standing rules for the use of force,” says a press release from US Northern Command.

It doesn’t say whether or not the troops will be carrying live ammo on their “mission.”

Amid a lengthy shopping list of changes to the Big Beautiful Bill that they already fucking voted yes on but want rewritten anyway, the House Freedom Caucasians on Monday sent a memo to the Senate GOP saying “The House OBBB increases the current $10,000 SALT cap to $40,000 (with a phase out for income above $500,000). The cost relative to current policy is $377 billion. The Senate should curtail this SALT increase as it disproportionately benefits high-income households in high tax (Democrat-run) states,” signaling they really want to have this fight again.

“The House OBBB does NOT do enough to rein in judges, even allowing for the constraints of reconciliation. The House does take some action regarding bond issuances (which may unintentionally disrupt important litigation in defense of fundamental rights like religious liberty) but resisted efforts to go beyond,” the white nationalists also wrote in their memo about a bill which, again, they already voted for under pain of angry Truth Social posts from the Orange Allah.

Not that there’s anything wrong with being gay, but it’s just gay. The heart, the being excited over the heart, the flamboyant orange makeup, all of it just really, really, really gay. They look gay.

Tennessee MAGA Congressman House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green has told Mike Johnson and crew he intends to resign from his seat as soon as convicted felon President Trump signs the Big Beautiful Bill, Punchbowl News reports without mentioning a reason.

Green’s affair with a woman – who may or may not be employed by Republican consulting firm Axiom Strategies – was made public last fall and nobody really gave a shit. So maybe there’s a worse scandal. Or maybe he’s just sick of his job. Green had announced he was stepping away from running again in 2024 but was talked back into it and reversed, winning his deep red seat easily.

Obviously feeling more and more these days like he has to justify it to himself and his douchebro fans, date-rapey shitbag Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy told NPR that his support for convicted felon President Trump before the election was actually more of “an indictment of the Democrats than an endorsement of Trump’s politics,” and that if it were purely about issues, he’d be way more down with Dems, especially on immigration. “I don’t necessarily think you should go back in time,” he said. “If somebody isn’t here legally, but they’re a productive member of society with no issues, I don’t think that you go say, ‘Get out of here,'” said Portnoy, an insufferable twat.

“I think they think we’re MAGA, I would say I’m not, and I don’t know that Rogan is,” Portnoy, a Jewish American who recently lost his shit over some antisemitic jokes by his fans but personally is on tape yelling the n-word in a “joke,” said. “I would vote for a Democrat. And I have voted for Democrats,” he said, but added that he didn’t want to be “demonized” by the party for his language and views, which the mainstream media has hyped as him leading a movement called “Barstool Conservatives” because Jesus Christ. “Not everything is nearly as serious as it may seem,” he said.

“Guys can say a girl is pretty without being sexist,” Portnoy, who joked about rape on several occasions and saw a defamation suit against Business Insider over an article about credible allegations of sexual assault go nowhere, added. It’s not clear when Portnoy ever came under fire from media critics for simply saying a girl is pretty. It was probably more like he wanted to rape her.

Boulder, Colorado residents David and Rivkah Costello, neighbors of the sick freak who tried to burn eight people – one of them a Holocaust survivor – to death with an improvised flamethrower at a walk-a-thon in support of the hostages still being held in Gaza earlier this month tell Fox News that Soliman’s wife had showed up with cupcakes to welcome them after they moved in last month.

“The wife came over and gave us some cupcakes. We keep kosher, so we couldn’t eat them, but we accepted them and then we just sort of threw them away,” said David in the story which does not at any point mention that Mrs Soliman is currently in ICE custody. Of course the above link goes to Yahoo News, not Fox News proper. Who knows how deep on their own website they buried this one to obscure the inconvenient narrative that Soliman’s wife was friendly to her Jewish neighbors.

And there is zero mistaking their religious identity. If Mrs Soliman couldn’t tell by the Costellos’ surname (who could, honestly, it might as well be “Sullivan”) they are Haredi if not Hasidic. Kind of makes it harder to sell Fox News fans on the justification for deporting her and her five kids.

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep.

Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another.

If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/4i8VIiYZLr pic.twitter.com/sUYD2KHu6O

In related news, CNN reports that 500 US Marines are being deployed to the streets of Los Angeles with their “rules of engagement… still being finalized.” Which probably means Trump is ordering them to be carrying weapons loaded with live ammo while commanders are trying to figure out a way around following that order to ensure there are no actual gunfights or, more likely, massacres.

“At 800 AM MST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Barbara was located near latitude 17.6 North, longitude 106.1 West. Barbara is moving toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue for the next couple of days. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight additional strengthening is possible today, but a weakening trend is forecast to begin on Tuesday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles.”

“The estimated minimum central pressure is 991 mb (29.27 inches). SURF: Swells generated by Barbara will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. WIND: Gusty winds are likely along coastal areas of southwestern Mexico during the next day or so,” says an advisory bulletin from the National Hurricane Center.

“‘If they spit, we will hit.’ This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles. The Insurrectionists have a tendency to spit in the face of the National Guardsmen/women, and others. These Patriots are told to accept this, it’s just the way life runs. But not in the Trump Administration. IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!” posted convicted felon President Trump on his shitty Twitter clone Monday.

Love the “we,” written as if the fat pussy’s going to personally gear up with a helmet, pads, and riot gear to help hold the line in defending ICE agents and Waymo cars from the “insurrectionists.”
