“Shortly after touching down inside a crater on the Moon, carrying NASA technology and science on its IM-2 mission, Intuitive Machines collected some data for the agency before calling an early end of mission at 12:15 am CST Friday. As part of the company’s second Moon delivery for NASA under the agency’s CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and Artemis campaign, the IM-2 mission included a drill to bring lunar soil to the surface and a mass spectrometer to look for the presence of volatiles, or gases, that could one day help provide fuel or breathable oxygen to future Artemis explorers. Planned to land at Mons Mouton, IM-2 touched down at approximately 11:30 am March 6, more than 1,300 feet (400 meters) from its intended landing site.”

“Intuitive Machines said images collected later confirmed the lander was on its side, preventing it from fully operating the drill and other instruments before its batteries were depleted. The IM-2 mission landed closer to the lunar South Pole than any previous lander,” says NASA in an update on their quest to find a silver lining to the IM-2 clusterfuck.

Check to see if the CIA was acting behind the scenes first before going off on China or Russia please. There is a silent war still on going inside of the United States to undermine the admin of @realDonaldTrump @DNIGabbard @AGPamBondi @JDVance https://t.co/p5Nu9pe5Wj

“Following my previously signed Executive Orders, ICE proudly apprehended and detained Mahmoud Khalil, a Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student on the campus of Columbia University. This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it. Many are not students, they are paid agitators. We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country – never to return again.”

“If you support terrorism, including the slaughtering of innocent men, women, and children, your presence is contrary to our national and foreign policy interests, and you are not welcome here. We expect every one of America’s Colleges and Universities to comply. Thank you!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, the first public announcement on what happened to Khalil.

Again, whether Khalil was one of the “Genocide Joe” pieces of shit matters far less than the implications going forward. Next it could be Ukrainians, anti-Putin Russians, or even Chinese dissidents. However this still has to get past a judge and we’ll see how it goes.

Actual words printed by the New York Times on Monday: “Jose has been whipped into quiet panic this winter by President Trump’s threats of mass deportations. He’s still turning up for his shifts at a wood-finishing factory – he can’t afford not to – but most of his co-workers have stopped coming. His wife is afraid to go to her factory job, and they’re keeping the 11-year-old home from school. Jose was nervous in the restaurant, curling his posture inward and eying the street outside.”

“But Jose doesn’t hold Mr Trump responsible. [He and his naturalized citizen friend Aldair Mata, who of course voted for the fat fuck] both blame ‘the Venezuelans,’ which is shorthand for the more than 50,000 migrants (about 30,000 of them Venezuelan) who’ve poured into Chicago since 2022.

“Jose complains that ‘nothing matters’ to the migrants, that some of them commit crimes and receive coveted work permits despite being ‘lazy.’ ‘If they hadn’t come,’ he said darkly, ‘none of this would have happened.'” This, the illegal immigrant living in Chicago said as if your average MAGA caucasian knows or cares about the difference between Mexicans and Venezuelans.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Monday announced that the 25 percent increase in electricity prices for export to the US are now in effect, the AP reports on another setback for convicted felon President Trump’s empty campaign pledge to cut Americans’ utility bills in half in by 2026.

“I will not hesitate to increase this charge. If the United State escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely,” Ford said at a news conference in Toronto. “Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people who didn’t start this trade war. It’s one person who is responsible, it’s Trump.” Ford says he expects $300,000 CAD a day in new revenue.

We were to understand that on day one the “Biden economic disaster” would be rectified and that everyone would feel richer instead of this wiener going on CNBC and having to Baghdad Bobbing shit about it still being a “Biden economy” three times inn a 1 minute 11 second clip.

Carrying posters bearing slogans like “We want our King back,” “Abolish federal republican system and reinstate the monarchy,” and “The King and the country are dearer than our life,” Nepal’s monarchists on Sunday turned out big for a visit by former King Gyanendra Shah to Kathmandu, the Hindustan Times reports on what one might describe as a bit of regression in the Himalayan nation.

Now this wasn’t a defiant return from exile as, while it’s unclear from the article where Gyanedra currently resides, he’s not an enemy of the state like Napoleon or Idi Amin and has been free to move about Nepal since he was dethroned and the monarchy abolished by parliament in 2008. It’s also unclear how much momentum he’s got, as this was hundreds, not thousands of subjects turning out for their king, but that he can say publicly that the “time has come for us to assume responsibility to protect the country and bring about national unity,” without any major pro-democracy protestors coming at him might be at least an indication of where this could be going.

“Stocks dropped on Monday as the selling pressures that dragged Wall Street last week persisted, with investors worried about an economic slowdown after President Donald Trump didn’t rule out a recession with US tariffs being implemented,” CNBC writes in the lede to their top story Monday.

“US stocks dropped in early trading on Monday, suffering widespread losses a day after President Donald Trump declined to rule out the possibility of a recession,” ABC News wrote in their convergent lede, both outlets and others probably risking another $10 billion lawsuit.

Deep State Attack? Twitter-X Is Down This Monday Morning

Maybe, just maybe, it should be self-evident that Twitter is not down if you tweeted the fucking article after a 20 minute outage. It also could be worth considering that the “Deep State” would be more effective at cyberattacks and would have somehow taken the platform down permanently if they really wanted to. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, one might also ponder whether Twitter owner Elon Musk is in fact qualified to run the entire US federal government if he can’t properly protect his own social media network from said attacks. Or just simple self-inflicted outages.

The US Supreme Court on Monday granted certiorari to Chiles v Salazar, a case whose petition reads “Kaley Chiles is a licensed counselor who helps people by talking with them. A practicing Christian, Chiles believes that people flourish when they live consistently with God’s design, including their biological sex. Many of her clients seek her counsel precisely because they believe that their faith and their relationship with God establishes the foundation upon which to understand their identity and desires. But Colorado bans these consensual conversations based on the viewpoints they express. Its content- and viewpoint-based Counseling Restriction prohibits counseling conversations with minors that might encourage them to change their ‘sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions,’ while allowing conversations that provide ‘[a]cceptance, support, and understanding for…identity exploration and development, including…[a]ssistance to a person undergoing gender transition.’ Colo Rev Stat § 12- 245-202(3.5). The Tenth Circuit upheld this ban as a regulation of Chiles’s conduct, not speech. In doing so, the court deepened a circuit split between the Eleventh and Third Circuits, which do not treat counseling conversations as conduct, and the Ninth Circuit, which does.”

So yeah, it’s “muh freedoms” are more important than your conversion therapy ban.

In a landmark policy win for MAGA-QAnon freaks, Utah Governor Spencer Cox on Sunday said he’ll sign a bill to ban water fluoridation in the Green Jello State, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“It’s got to be a really high bar for me if we’re going to require people to be medicated by their government,” said Cox in an interview with ABC4 Utah. “It’s not a bill I felt strongly about; it’s not a bill I care that much about, but it’s a bill I will sign.” Cox added that half the counties in the state don’t fluoridate water supplies and claimed that dentists told him they don’t see big differences.

The American Dental Association urged Cox to veto the bill, writing it would end “one of the most trusted and tested public health strategies in the arsenal of preventive medicine.”

Dem Senators Andy Kim and Tammy Duckworth will on Monday introduce the Protect Veteran Jobs Act, forcing the Trump Regime to reinstate every US military veteran who has been DOGEd needlessly over the past few weeks and also require a quarterly summary on the number of vets removed from the federal workforce – and the justification for their firing, ABC News reports.

“Veterans who choose to continue their service to our country in the federal workforce deserve our utmost gratitude, but instead this Administration has kicked thousands of our heroes to the curb and left them without a paycheck,” Duckworth, a disabled combat veteran, said in a statement. “The message of our bill is simple: Give our heroes their jobs back. If Republicans really care about our Veterans, they should stop enabling Trump and Musk’s chaos and support our legislation.”

Hard to call this simply a “messaging bill” when there’s a not-completely-insignificant chance it could pass. If it does, great, if not then the Republican excuse for blocking it ought to be interesting, to say the least. Ted Cruz is always good for some speciously doctrinaire and/or technocratic horseshit but this is probably going to be a tough one for him to conjure up. Maybe more likely is a “poison pill” rider like abolishing the Department of Education or putting Trump on the $100 bill.

“As I made clear during my Joint Address to Congress, the United States strongly supports the people of Greenland’s right to determine their own future. We will continue to KEEP YOU SAFE, as we have since World War II. We are ready to INVEST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to create new jobs and MAKE YOU RICH – And, if you so choose, we welcome you to be a part of the Greatest Nation anywhere in the World, the United States of America!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday night, remembering he was supposed to be threatening the vast, icy island territory after the issue tailed off last month and he began threatening to annex Gaza instead.

In a series of since-deleted tweets dug up by CNN’s KFile, far right shitbag influencer-turned-Acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie on January 7, 2021 all but outright called his now-boss Secretary of State Marco Rubio a homosexual, writing “Forget Wainwright park, forget the foam, forget the war promotion and the neocon sugar daddies, forget the low IQ, forget the 2016 primary, Rubio is TOUGH ON CHINA (and good for military industrial complex) So be a good DOG and vote for him!!!” with “Wainwright Park” code for some old curfew violation from when Rubio was a teenager and “the foam” alluding to foam parties at LGBTQ nightclubs.

Then, in a less-inscrutably-coded tweet, Beattie followed up with “What happens in the Cabana stays in the Cabana #Rubio.” Other trashed tweets included “If a bunch of DC wonks try to reinvent Marco Rubio as a nationalist, but a ‘respectable’ one who promises tax credits to BLM supporters and is ‘TOUGH ON CHINA’ will you be a good dog and vote for him?” and “I bet Rubio still thinks Assad gassed his own people.” So they’re probably getting along great at work.

“Michigan autoworker Joseph Knowles, a guest at President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, explained why he ‘made a damn good choice’ switching from being a lifelong Democrat to a Republican. During Trump’s address on Tuesday, when he honored a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor and the mother of a 12-year-old girl who was murdered, allegedly by illegal migrants, most Democrats remained seated. Some protested the address by holding signs that read ‘FALSE,’ ‘NO king!’ and ‘MUSK STEALS,'” says the lede to a Fox News story printed early Saturday morning, itself just a recap of an on-air segment from Wednesday after Trump’s stupid speech.

“I’m very disappointed in the Democrats on how they handled things,” Knowles told two Caucasian Fox News anchors in the middle of the afternoon. “And you know what? I feel like I made a damn good choice of not voting for them anymore, and I’m very proud of how Donald Trump handled it.”

Moving on from complaining about Dems’ conduct at the speech, he then ripped into the party overall. “They said their agenda was for the working people, but that’s not the case,” said literally every fucking Fox News guest billed as a “former Democrat” over the last decade Knowles. “They’re out-of-touch, and I can no longer support an organization or a political party like that.”

It might’ve been around this point, or maybe when Knowles said “I got very good hope for the Republican Party. I mean, more and more people are seeing the true colors of the Democrats. And it took me, I’m sorry, 20 years to see that, and I woke up. I’m very confident the American people will wake up too,” that a reader might begin to perceive something about this interview. Not just that Knowles’s lines were scripted, because you’d have to be pretty fucking stupid not to have picked that up right away, but that they were scripted with a specific intent. A very specific intent.

Acting on orders directly from the White House, ICE agents on Saturday detained Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian-born Algerian citizen green card holder, who had acted as a negotiator during last year’s protests at the Ivy League college’s NYC campus, Drop Site reports.

Khalil had last week participated in a sit-in at Milstein Library at Barnard, a college within a college at Columbia, protesting the recent expulsion of three Barnard students over pro-Palestine activism, at which the NYPD arrested nine. Khalil was not among those cuffed, but several MAGA and far right pro-Israel Twitter accounts over the previous few days had been tagging convicted felon President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and dog murderer Kristi Noem in posts identifying Khalil as a protestor. Then on Saturday night, two ICE agents approached Khalil as he was headed into his campus residence with his wife, who is eight months pregnant.

A statement by the pro-Palestine group Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG) stated that Khalil was told his (non-existent) student visa was revoked “despite the fact that he has a green card, not a visa, and is a lawful permanent resident” and “abducted and detained without the physical demonstration of a warrant or officially filed charges,” with an ICE database apparently listing Khalil as being held at an ICE detention center in New Jersey under God knows what conditions.

Needless to say this is extremely fucked up and dark. As tempting as it might be to revel at the misfortune at another “Genocide Joe” dead-ender getting theirs (and there’s no info on how deep Khalil was into that shit), just keep in mind that next time it might be a Ukrainian green card holder.

As early practitioners of siege warfare in the late Middle Ages learned during the first few times they utilized rudimentary artillery against their foes, one need check wind conditions and correct accordingly to make good on their intended target. Failing to do so typically meant no worse than a perfectly good cannonball landing in the mud behind the castle it was supposed to strike, though there were no doubt more than a few medieval warlords who were big on punishing waste, fraud, and abuse by their troops and were happy to make examples of incompetent cannoniers.

It’s this kind of history that North Texas human cannonball Chachi “The Rocketman” Valencia may do well to contemplate as he convalesces from a similar fuckup he brought upon himself last Sunday at the Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival in Indio, California. “I know the mistake that we made,” Valencia told KHOU from the San Diego-area home of a relative where he’s currently laid up.

“And it was a judgement call probably,” Valenica continued as he described the chain of events leading to he and his wife/assistant deciding it was go time. “So when I got shot, the wind completely caught me,” sending him into and then over the net around his target and onto the adjacent pavement. “A broken wrist. I got a few broken ribs. And I have a bleeding liver,” he said.

“If it wasn’t for my wife who is here, I don’t know how I could survive really. It’s just so hard to move around, you know,” Valencia said, adding he’s going to be much more careful next time. Whenever he’s healthy enough to be shot out of a cannon again. “You know, this is what I do for a living. It’s not like I can stop this tomorrow and get some other job or something. This is what I do.” Plus he can’t let the fans down. “They’re so excited to see you get shot out of a cannon. Hard to say no, you know what I mean? In the future I just need to be, be a little bit more firm” about waiting out the wind.

MAGA Michigan state Representative Josh Schriver, a pro-child marriage far right racist zoomer constantly in trouble with his superiors, is taking things a few steps further than the intrusive online age verification laws imposed by Republicans in other states and working hard on slapping together a bill outlawing pornography in the Great Lakes State, the Detroit News reports.

Schriver’s still got some kinks (no pun intended) to work out of the plan, namely how such a prohibition would actually work in practice. “Is that something you guys are equipped to enforce?” Schriver asked Michigan State Police Detective Lt Jeff Hoffman during a Tuesday hearing of the House Communications and Technology Committee. Hoffamn said state troopers do “not enforce the internet,” but MSP’s involvement “would depend on the bill.” So no, Hoffman was not looking forward to having to stop vehicles with out-of-state plates to see if issues of “Buttlovers XXL” or DVDs titled “Karate Fist Fest 9” are stashed in the trunk, to say nothing of the internet and VPNs.

Asked how it’d work, Schriver said simply “In the same way child porn is rightfully illegal, all porn shall be so.” Luckily for Michigan masturbators this has approximately zero chance of passing.

In a no doubt heavily edited interview with batshit idiot Maria Bartiromo aired Sunday, convicted felon President Trump said he would “hate to predict something like that” when asked if there could be a recession this year, downplayed the beating investors are taking in the stock market, and more or less told CEOs to go fuck themselves if they want economic stability. So yeah, it was a pretty typical performance by the president who told his fans “the only reason the stock market is doing good, doing OK, but it’s doing actually good, because everyone thinks that Trump is going to win the presidency,” three days before the election and whose whose voters said shit like they have “no doubt he will make the US better than where we are financially.”

New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Saturday declared a state of emergency in effect for eastern Long Island’s Suffolk County as a number of wind-driven brushfires broke out in the wooded areas north of Westhampton, leading to the evacuation of an Air National Guard post, WCBS reports.

The largest fire was about 80 percent contained on Sunday morning, but the dry, windy conditions continue to pose an elevated risk. “We have about 600 acres burned. Two commercial buildings that suffered damage. There are no residential buildings that have been damaged or threatened at this time, and there are no evacuations at this moment, and we hope it to stay that way. But as the day goes on, we’ll be able to proceed from there,” said Westhampton Beach Fire official Lewis Scott.
