“So the fact that the Defense Department is getting a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE, of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40 year old Air Force One, temporarily, in a very public and transparent transaction, so bothers the Crooked Democrats that they insist we pay, TOP DOLLAR, for the plane. Anybody can do that! The Dems are World Class Losers!!! MAGA” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday night, admitting that he’s taking a gift from the Qatari Royal Family but not mentioning them and leaving out the condition that it be transferred to his presidential library in early 2029 (maybe that was the “temporarily” part), as well as kind of calling Laura Loomer a “World Class Loser” for ripping into him over it. This is indeed a very public and transparent act of corruption.

West Coast port officials on Friday told CNN that, for the first time since the pandemic, there were as of that morning zero container ships headed from China to be offloaded at American docks, a sign all the more troubling for the fact that six days ago, 41 vessels had been scheduled to depart from the bloated, dysfunctional autocratic state that is nonetheless the US’s largest trading partner.

Thus it’s no real mystery why convicted felon President Trump is making the kind of panic moves like he did that same morning, posting “80 percent Tariff on China seems right! Up to Scott B.” He’s been warned repeatedly by his minions that what he set in motion with “Liberation Day” will, within the next few weeks, come to bear down on an electorate of which a near-majority last year bought into horseshit like the Fox News propaganda above – which you may remember used what was actually a 2011 photo of a store in Japan from near that nuclear reactor that exploded after being hit with a goddamned tsunami – being used to exploit lingering supply chain issues from – again – COVID.

Yeah, COVID’s actually going to be something of a running theme here given the certain overlaps in the respective situation. In fact it overlaps in so many respects – except for the deadly virus part.

“President Putin of Russia doesn’t want to have a Cease Fire Agreement with Ukraine, but rather wants to meet on Thursday, in Turkey, to negotiate a possible end to the BLOODBATH. Ukraine should agree to this, IMMEDIATELY. At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible, and if it is not, European leaders, and the US, will know where everything stands, and can proceed accordingly! I’m starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin, who’s too busy celebrating the Victory of World War ll, which could not have been won (not even close!) without the United States of America. HAVE THE MEETING, NOW!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, more than 2,644 hours after his self-imposed deadline of 24 hours to end the conflict after returning to power. Minimizing Russian contributions to winning World War II in Europe (which Trump spelled with two lowercase Ls, again, for some reason) is sure to help get them to the table too.

In an interview aired on Sunday, rapey-mustached Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told ABC’s Martha Raddatz that the Putin regime would need to see “certain dynamics” on the battlefront between the two countries before they start talking “peace,” among them a halt to US arms shipments to Kyiv, which still continue despite Trump’s ill-gotten second presidency.

Responding to a series of spirited disagreements among teenagers that erupted into physical violence, a Fairfax County, Virginia McDonald’s location has implemented what amounts to a de facto requirement that youngsters fight each other outside of the establishment, NBC4 DC reports.

On paper it’s a minimum age of 21 to enter the establishment and dine-in, in practice it’s a door locked at all times for which customers must ring the doorbell and present identification if staff are unsure of the person’s age, but in reality it’s an effective ban on physical combat in the dining room, as the sign now hanging on the front door even says “Due to repeated incidents of student violence, the location is temporarily closed for dine-in service to anyone under 21 years of age.”

“These kids are off the chain. They have no respect, no discipline,” said regular customer Stacey, adding “And it seem like how they acting, their parents are allowing them to act,” as if the whole point of going to McDonald’s after school to throw strawberry milkshakes at other teenagers as a means of initiating a savage, bloody fistfight isn’t to do so without parental supervision. “Like we’re sitting down eating, y’all smoking, y’all drinking, y’all cussing. Like, come on, y’all,” Stacey continued, telling NBC4 she fully supports the new rule. “I understand where they coming from, because that’s turning customers away. If you’re here, you’re acting up, they losing they business.”

The rowdy teenagers remain free to fight each other in the parking lot of the McDonald’s location.

Asked to address the Dollar Tree warning that they’ll raise prices again in response to convicted felon President Trump’s suicidally stupid tariff plan, something that’ll hurt the people of his state who rely on cheap shit from such retailers to get by, Wyoming Senator John Barrasso told NBC’s Kristen Welker on Sunday that he travels “around Wyoming. People in Wyoming are very happy with the president and what he’s doing to help our economy,” so no concerns, lol. In another non-answer Barrasso told Welker the “bully pulpit” and Trump’s alleged mastery of it was the answer to Trump telling Americans their daughters should have two dolls instead of 30. Lastly Barrasso sort of kind of actually addressed the question of whether he would vote in favor of suspending habeas corpus like bald freak Stephen Miller hinted at on Friday, telling Welker that yeah, he might be open to doing so.

Hardcore MAGA asshole Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is nagging convicted felon President Trump to support Congresswoman Julia Letlow in a primary challenge against “RINO” Senator Bill Cassidy next year, the AP reports. It’s a campaign that the low-profile Letlow – who was elected in 2021 in a special after her husband, Congressman-Elect Luke, died of COVID in December 2020 before he could take his seat – hasn’t even launched yet and it’s not clear if she intends to, and yet Landry’s already anointed her to punish Cassidy for voting to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial.

Changes to Louisiana’s primary system also present a challenge to Cassidy given that only registered Republicans and non-affiliated voters can vote in either major party’s primary next year, which reduces the chance that Dem voters will step in to save Cassidy’s ass. All that said, there could be some opportunity here for a Dem candidate even though obviously it’s tough. Either former Governor John Bel Edwards or if the DSCC somehow recruits Drew Brees to run for the seat is the only way that a flip becomes realistic. Brees quit the GOP in 2019 and is currently an independent.

In a Howard Nutlick double-header, the huckster Commerce Secretary failed to satisfactorily answer questions from both CNN and Fox News on what the hell’s going on with the Trump Regime’s tariff policy, at one point telling dockworkers getting laid off that they “should be very optimistic and positive, because the president truthed it out, and I rely on the president,” lol.

Asked Sunday what he’s going to do to handle the ongoing shitshow at Newark International Airport, former MTV Real World cast member Sean Duffy told NBC’s Kristen Welker that “we actually have brought down the number of airplanes that come in and leave Newark because, listen, our mission is safety. And so – yeah, I hate delays. I hate cancellations. And I hate families who come with little kids that are sitting there for four hours. I’ve done that myself on occasion. It’s hard. But I want you to get to where you’re traveling. And if that means slowing down flights into Newark, we slow them down to make sure we can do it safely. We lost a few controllers who were stressed out by the first connectivity that we lost last week. And so we have less controllers working the Newark airspace right now. And, you know, we’re having these – these glitches in the system. So we slow it down and keep people safe. That’s what we do,” which is weird because it was supposed to be a DEI thing.

On Sunday, there was a complete ground stop at Newark, again, because the radar scopes crashed.

Convicted felon President Trump will accept “a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet” from the Qatari royal family to use as Air Force One until the end of his reign, upon which ownership will be transferred to his “presidential library” and not the federal government, ABC News reports.

It’s the last day of Small Business Week so I decided to stop by Trump Burger in Houston!

— Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) May 10, 2025

Good God in Heaven is John Cornhole Cornyn taking it up a notch amid his deeply transparent terror over the primary challenge from Picasso-faced Attorney General Ken Paxton. Like why doesn’t he just lie and say Trump already endorsed him? Technically he sort of did anyway as the fat bastard tweeted “Senator John Cornyn has done an outstanding job for the people of Texas. He is strong on Crime, the Border, the Second Amendment and loves our Military and Vets. John has my complete and total endorsement” back on February 21, 2019, ahead of the last time Cornhole faced voters.

Well actually that was fully 20 months before the 2020 election. At the same pace Trump is nearly three months late on a re-endorsement. Soooooooooo yeah. Maybe Corny’s right to panic and post just absolutely transparently fucking desperate and frantic ball-sucking nonsense like this.

While not directly linking it to “the Trump administration’s mandate to reduce the civilian workforce throughout the Department of Defense,” Military.com’s reporting on the reduction of hours at a daycare center for the children of airmen stationed at Eglin Air Foce base on the Florida panhandle from 12 to 10 hours a day makes ample mention of the regime’s directive and sources say the situation has been “exacerbated” by the MAGA reich’s DOGE spending cuts circlejerk.

“This reduction in operating hours is necessary to address critical staffing challenges to reduce the risk of unexpected room closures and potential denial of child care,” says a memo obtained by Military.com about the situation, with the already-existing “critical staffing challenges” probably not going to be fixed anytime soon while drunken asshole Pete Hegseth cuts off civilian employee hiring.

The article goes on to detail a handful of closures and disenrollments of families living on various Air and Space Force bases over the last few months. Luckily officers in the Pentagon were able to talk Hegseth and his minions into a formal exemption for daycare staff from an anticipated 50,000 to 60,000 civilian job cuts across the Defense Department, averting an apocalyptic clusterfuck.

Instead it seems like a slow bleed of just regular attrition in a field that’s extremely hard to find good people for even in the private sector where daycare centers charge freaking exorbitant monthly fees. In the military it’s not a perk of the job so much as a fucking mission critical readiness measure that only a complete asshole would fail to recognize as such. “Sorry, Lieutenant, I’d be totally down to operate the IR camera on the flight to track the sketchy Iranian-flagged vessel off the coast of South Carolina tonight but my mother-in-law twisted her ankle. Yeah… Wife’s on duty at the med bay and she can’t get off either,” is not how you run an America First military and yet here we are.

Convicted felon President Trump’s team are weighing whether to offer Greenland a “Compact of Free Association,” a framework in which certain essential services like the postal service, emergency response management, military protection, Medicaid, and so on are provided by the US government while the island would otherwise be largely free to run its own affairs and politics, Reuters reports.

The precedent for this exists in the Pacific where three tiny states – Palau, Micronesia, and the Marshall Islands – signed on to such a compact after achieving quasi-independence from the US in the 1980s. For Greenland it’d be more or less simply switching from Denmark to the United States.

As with everything Trump and Greenland what could in theory work and be equitable under a chemically-balanced president who doesn’t simply cancel programs and funding on a whim. They have no reason whatsoever to trust the fat fuck and should just stay away at all costs.

To all those THRILLED that National Zero would run this movie: This is just to weed you out so the rest of us know who you are. Or just don’t speak up at all. The only way to win is to…

“I love my home state of Georgia so much. The people here may not be rich with the world’s riches, but they are overflowing with kindness, love, family values, and a deep sense of joy, whether they’re sitting on the front porch or the tailgate of a pickup truck. These are the people who raised me, who I’m lucky enough to call friends, and who hug my neck no matter what corner of the state I’m in. These are the people I fight for. So when I read an Axios article this morning about the ultra-rich Kemp donors gathering last weekend at their elite retreat on luxurious Sea Island to anoint their preferred candidate to run against Jon Ossoff, I laughed out loud. Sea Island is not far from Jekyll Island, where another elite retreat formed the Federal Reserve, and look how that turned out,” and blah blah blah writes white nationalist psychopath Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene in a Twitter blog post that eventually gets to the point that she’s not going to run for Senate.

Actually this part’s pretty funny too: “When I met with the NRSC a few weeks ago, they told me their internal polling shows any Republican can beat Ossoff. But now they’re pushing a public poll of just 800 people claiming only certain Republicans can win. Funny how that works. Polling has become so dishonest that most people barely pay attention to it anymore. Voters are sick of the consultants who keep getting rich whether we win or lose. That’s why I laughed at that Axios article.”

And then this further down: “Beating Jon Ossoff? That would be easy. He’s a silver-spoon progressive who’s never held a real job or worried about putting a roof over his family’s head.” Jesus Christ, lol. This shitbrain’s dad is a construction magnate, the only job she ever had was in his office.

ICE agents carrying out a detainment in Worcester, Massachusetts on Thursday were forced to call the cops after at least 20 people attempted to block them from leaving with an unidentified woman, believed to be from Brazil, per NBC Boston. What happened next was fucking atrocious: Worcester cops slammed her teenage daughter’s face to the pavement and arrested her. The article itself is unclear as to the precise details given the lack of names involved and whether or not the daughter is a citizen, but between the video and details such as a local activist who was in the house with the family telling the station “When we were talking to her, she told us that if she wasn’t under arrest and there wasn’t a warrant, she could go to the bathroom, and that’s when they started pulling her with the baby in her hand,” it’s not like knowing more about it is going to make it better

ICE conducted themselves like Stephen Miller would: They called the cops and got them to escalate the situation – and this is NOT to excuse fucking throwing a teenage girl to the pavement, those cops should 100 percent be prosecuted for that – instead of handling it themselves or handing the woman a summons and telling her to show up in immigration court at the appointed date or they’ll be back. They’re letting local cops get blood on their hands for a situation they weren’t man enough to handle. If this doesn’t blow up all over the national news in the next few days then the vests saying “WORCESTER POLICE” instead of “ICE” on those tackling the girl will be EXACTLY why.

Speaking to right wing radio douchebag Hugh Hewitt on Friday, couchfucking Vice President JD Vance didn’t let himself get wrapped up in popery after the very first question Hewitt asked was about Pope Leo XIV’s criticism of the Trump regime’s policies and him personally.

“First of all, a big moment for American Catholics [blah blah blah] the third thing, Hugh, and this is, you know, these things always get discolored a little bit by American politics or by politics writ large. You know, people are asking is he a conservative or is he a liberal. Will he attack President Trump and JD Vance on certain things, and hasn’t attacked Democrats on other things. And I guess my response to this is it’s very hard to fit a 2,000-year-old institution into the politics of 2025 America.”

“I try not to do that. I am a Catholic convert, and so I come at this maybe with a slightly different perspective. But I try not to play the politicization of the Pope game. I’m sure he’s going to say a lot of things that I love. I’m sure he’ll say some things that I disagree with, but I’ll continue to pray for him and the Church despite it all and through it all, and that’ll be the way that I handle it,” said Jaydee, not losing his shit and screaming “WOKE MARXIST POPE” like co-President Laura Loomer.

Newark, New Jersey Mayor Ras Baraka was taken into federal custody after refusing to leave an ICE gulag in the city, Shore News reports. Baraka was accompanied by several Dem members of Congress, one of whom LaMonica McIver, just told reporters she was “assaulted” during the melee.

Ignoring term-limited Governor Mike DeWine’s pleas to stay the hell out of it and remain neutral, the Ohio Republican Party on Friday just went ahead and endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy for 2026, Politico reports. While Ohio isn’t New York and there still will be a primary, it is, per Politico a “major blow to his intraparty opponents.” State Attorney General Dave Yost, the fucking idiot who just threw away a cushy ambassadorship offered by the Trump Administration so he could keep running for governor, congratulated Ramaswamy and apparently indicated he’s reconsidering his campaign.

Other would-be candidate Lt Gov Jim Tressel, who used to be a big deal in sportsball before accepting the appointment to be DeWine’s numero dos earlier this year, could still prove formidable against Da Vek in a primary should he jump in, though that may be less likely now.

So for those keeping score at home, there were two top officials, one of them who won five statewide elections and the other an appointee who in his previous job won five NCAA national football championships – all of them for Ohio teams, that the state Republican Party could’ve picked but instead they went with a dark-skinned 39 year-old billionaire Hindu who got himself out of DOGE when he realized it’d be a politically toxic shitshow, all simply because Trump sort of tolerates him.

The owner of the childhood home of the former Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, has taken the Dolton, Illinois three-bed, three-bath suburban house off the market after being unable to sell it for months even after dropping the asking price from $219,000 to $199,000, Realator.com reports.

The anonymous flipper who owns the home via an LLC and did not wish to be named, says he’s taking the home off the market and will in the coming months put it back up for sale with some dramatic changes to the asking price, one befitting its connection to his holiness. A heavenly price.
