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.

Secret Service agents on Saturday shot a libtard who was brandishing a firearm near the White House early Sunday morning, NPR reports. The libtard, believed to have traveled from Indiana, was flagged as a security risk to the Orange God Emperor prior to the incident.

“On Sunday March 9th, an adult male was shot by US Secret Service personnel following an armed confrontation with law enforcement in Washington DC. Earlier on Saturday, local police shared information about a suicidal individual who may be traveling to Washington DC from Indiana.”

“Around midnight, members of the Secret Service encountered the individual’s parked vehicle near 17th and F Streets, NW. They also saw an individual on foot matching the description nearby,” said the Secret Service in a statement. As officers approached, the individual brandished a firearm and an armed confrontation ensued, during which shots were fired by our personnel. The suspect was transported to an area hospital and his condition is unknown. There were no reported injuries to Secret Service personnel. The incident is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police Department Internal Affairs Division’s Force Investigations Team, which investigates all law enforcement officer involved shootings in the District of Columbia,” said the Secret Service in a statement.

“ELON AND MARCO HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP. ANY STATEMENT OTHER THAN THAT IS FAKE NEWS!!! DJT,” posted you know who on Saturday evening, apropos of not very much.

Calling the DOGE shitshow ruining people’s lives capriciously “exciting,” “exhilarating,” and “the greatest thing that’s happened since I’ve been in Congress,” in an interview with the Associated Press, National Republican Campaign Committee chair Congressman Richard Hudson was then asked “Do you feel any blowback back home from people losing their jobs, cuts to veterans?”

Hudosn’s answer: “(Musk) did say that the the the firings at the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) were a mistake done by that agency, by the VA. He said mistakes were made by bureaucrats.”

It gets even better. Asked “what’s your message to the fired federal workers, what do you say to them?” Hudson: “Hang tight.” AP: “What does that mean?” Hudson: “I mean there may be some mistakes that are being corrected.” AP: “Do you think that will be an OK message for other GOP lawmakers to use?” (Keep in mind Hudson is responsible for defending and expanding the House Republican majority. He was in charge last year when it shrank by two seats). Hudson: “The American people are sick of the swamp. They’re sick of waste, fraud and abuse. For the first time. ever, we finally have the tools to affect it. So I think the voters are going to reward us.”

Hudson closed out the interview by boasting that Democrats eyeing a 2026 wave are “digging their own grave politically. We’re on the side of the angels. We’re doing what the American people asked us to do, what 77 million people voted for Donald Trump to get. We’re going to pick up seats.”

Not sure what to add here. It’s one thing to project confidence when things are obviously starting to go south for one’s team, it’s another to project hubris a minute after feigning sympathy for those fucked over needlessly but then saying it was also “exhilarating.” Also pretty telling that Hudson did not go into any detail about asking Musk to overrule these nameless “bureaucrats” at the VA.

Among several articles linked in Truth Social posts by convicted felon President Trump’s account on Saturday morning was a February 17th piece in the Daily Caller by small-faced propagandist Charlie Kirk headlined “Shut Up About Egg Prices – Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” in which Kirk wrote “Democrats are positively giddy about the price of eggs. A dozen currently costs around $7, up from just $2 in October. For liberals who resent President Trump’s overwhelming electoral mandate, that’s sufficient proof that these backward, ‘extreme’ MAGA Republicans didn’t know what they were voting for,” and that it’s actually Joe Biden’s fault, libs, and blah blah blah.

It’s possible Trump himself did not personally post the link to the article as previous patterns and reporting seem to indicate that when there are no poorly spelled and unhinged text-based “Truths” then it’s one of his minions who has access to the account. That does not make this a good look and it goes without saying Biden would’ve been impeached within hours if he’d done the same.

The media’s not terribly likely to make this a thing given all the other shit the fat bastard is “flooding the zone” with these days, but they might do well to ask about it at the next press conference.

“On March 4th, 2025, a Lee County Sheriff Deputy went to the residence of 2219 Valley Road to serve an active order for arrest on Jessica Nicole Jones (37). Upon pulling into the driveway, the Deputy observed Jones lose no time as she dashed into the residence. Samantha Michelle Goins (an occupant in the residence) falsely told the Deputy that Jones was not inside of the residence and attempted to keep Deputies from entering. Deputies entered the residence and noticed a refrigerator had been moved to obstruct a door that led to the garage area. Once inside of the garage, Deputies located Jones hiding in a pile of clothes and placed her into custody.”

“Jones was taken before a Lee County Magistrate and issued no bond. Deputies also placed Goins (32) into custody for resist, delay, obstruct, and harboring a fugitive. Goins was taken before a Lee County Magistrate and given a $2500.00 bond,” says a Facebook post from the Lee County, North Carolina Sheriff’s Office. It’s not clear what crime Jones was wanted for. Probably something drugs.

Condemned murderer Brad Sigmon chose original recipe Kentucky Fried Chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits, cheesecake, and sweet tea for his last meal before his firing squad execution at Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday, USA Today reports on the fast food chain getting some free advertising in a nationally-watched case.

“Brad’s death was horrifying and violent. It is unfathomable that, in 2025, South Carolina would execute one of its citizens in this bloody spectacle,” complained Signmon’s defense attorney, Gerald “Bo” King, adding that Signmon’s request for a few extra buckets of the fried chicken so “he could feed the men locked up with him” on death row “was denied” for unspecified reasons.

Sigmon, sentenced to death in 2002 for the gruesome baseball bat murders of his ex-girlfriend’s parents, Gladys and David Larke, had chosen to die by firing squad rather than the default lethal injection or the electric chair given the possibility of botching either, making him the first US inmate to be executed via the method since 2010. The inmate was strapped to a chair, blinded with a hood, and a doctor placed a target over his heart. Three corrections officers then took aim with rifles, all firing live rounds (traditionally one or more of the men on the firing squad is supposed to be given blanks so none of them truly know who did it) and Sigmon was pronounced dead at 6:08 PM.

Too bad he didn’t choose the electric chair. Headline would’ve been snappier.

Holy shit this movie is so dumb. When it came out Navy recruiting offices hung the poster in the window, trying to draw in fans of a sci-fi actioner based off a goddamned Milton Bradley board game, just adding to the absurdity. “Join up and YOU can become an alcoholic lieutenant who somehow ends up commanding an international fleet against alien invaders and then when that goes to shit you can marshal up a group of WWII veterans and use their retired vessels to defeat them!”

Oh shit, SPOILER.

Embrace the suck of Battleship. It’s a very good bad movie, trying too hard to out-Michael Bay Michael Bay and actually succeeding at it. The “chicken burrito” moment in the beginning is somehow legitimately sweet. The over-the-top hardassery of Alexander Skarsgaard and Liam Neeson are funny as hell. Rihanna as a Navy officer is just not very believable. Enjoy.

A little over 10 years ago the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles was kind of fucking me over. I kept getting the runaround on why I was unable to renew my driver’s license, trip after trip to the godforsaken Stalinist/Brutalist state office tower complex near the Long Island Expressway in Suffolk County ended with no straight answer. Needless to say I was pissed. During one of the interminable Kafka-esque waits to walk out with no license an alarm went off and the building was evacuated, extending the drudgery. As I waited outside I struck up a brief conversation with a fellow evacuee, some dude who worked for a state agency, quickly turning to why the building had been cleared. He said he wasn’t sure but it might’ve been a security threat because the alert sounded different from the fire alarms he was used to occasionally going off there during his workday.

I then said “Well the way things are going for me with the DMV today I’m starting to understand why people park truck bombs outside of government buildings.” And yeah that ended the conversation.

Eventually I got my answer and had to take the fucking road test, several weeks later at the same complex, having some lady shrieking at me to look behind my shoulder when I’m changing lanes driving around the vicinity like I was a goddamned teenager again. Apparently my license had been revoked for an insurance lapse like seven years earlier, nobody ever notified me, especially not the five different car rental agencies I had rented vehicles from nor the cop who had pulled me over searching for a bank robber or the other for a broken tail light during the intervening time. I passed, despite the shrieking. The lady changed her tune when I told her I’d already had a license before.

Taking a cue from FiveThirtyEight, Monmouth University in New Jersey is shutting down its polling institute after one too many findings that missed the mark ahead, the New Jersey Globe reports.

Two federal prosecutors working the case against dipshit New York City Mayor Eric Adams were placed on administrative leave and escorted out of the building housing the US Attorney’s office in Manhattan on Friday for who the hell knows what reason but it’s can’t be good, NBC News reports.

It appears that former Trump defense lawyer and now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former SDNY prosecutor himself, wrote the letters to Andrew Rohrbach and Celia Cohen informing them they were on a shitlist. Cohen and Rohrbach had also prosecuted the cases against Sam Bankrupt-Fried and Jeffrey Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell, who Trump wishes well.

Convicted felon President Trump will be hosting a “crypto summit” with all the industry guys who aren’t in prison cheering him at the White House even though they’re secretly starting to hate him.

The Trum Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into egg producers, the Wall Street Journal reports on the regime’s best effort at making it look like they’re doing something about a problem that was supposed to be fixed “on day one.”

The Trump Regime’s Department of Justice on Friday indicated they’re going to be dropping a massive federal lawsuit – filed by the Biden Administration in 2023 – against Japanese conglomerate Denka over the carcinogens being dumped from a synthetic rubber plant into the surrounding majority-Black Louisiana neighborhoods now known as “Cancer Alley,” the Guardian reports.

The Pontchartrain Works facility, built by DuPont – also a defendant – was sold to Denka in 2015.

“It’s obvious that the Trump administration doesn’t care anything for the poor Black folk in Cancer Alley,” said a local man, Robert Taylor, 84, who lost a number of relatives to cancer. “His administration has taken away what protections we had, what little hope we had.”

John Grisham could not be reached for comment on why the powerful bad guys won in the end.

Deportations, either by ICE or by oneself, seem to have dragged the topline number from today's jobs report to 151,000 net jobs. But this breakdown gives us a fuller picture: https://t.co/Njj72t6jSN

All it took was just a little disturbance and Manassas, Virginia Trump fan Jensy Machado is now openly questioning his support for the Orange God Emperor. Machado tells NBC Washington he was all for the president’s law and order, America First brand, even sporting a “Trump 2024” sticker on his truck, but then all that changed on Wednesday when he was driving some coworkers to a job.

“Like I said, I was a Trump supporter. I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be the things, you know, like… just go against criminals, not every Hispanic looking, like, that they will assume that we are all illegals,” Machado told the station after a little incident with ICE.

“They just got out of the car with the guns in their hands and say, turn off the car, give me the keys, open the window, you know. Everything was really fast,” Machado recalled, saying that it was clear ICE had gotten a bad tip. “They didn’t ask me for any ID. I was telling the officer, if I can give him ID, but he said just keep my hands up, not moving. After that, he told me to get out of the car and put the handcuffs on me. And then he went to me and said how did I get into this country and if I was waiting for a court date or if I have any case. And I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, ‘Do you believe him?'” Machado was then uncuffed and allowed to continue to work.

His two passengers were taken away however, but he did not elaborate on anything about why or, more pertinently, their immigration statuses. Or if they are/were Trump fans too.

From a Thursday night Facebook post by Democratic Missouri state Representative David Tyson Smith: “Congressman [Mark] Alford sent 3 staffers to my office to intimidate my Legislative Assistant and told her not to give out his public number to constituents who call and are angry about Trump’s and Musk’s federal policies. They said he was getting inundated with calls and was cornered in a coffee shop by angry people. A VA employee came to my office and we sent her over as well.”

“The staffers said the Congressman doesn’t want to talk about the VA. One of the staffers further tried to intimidate my LA by asking for a picture with her. Congressman Alford, if you have a problem with angry constituents, have the courage to address it with President Trump. Do not try to intimidate my staff. Also, feel free to pick up the phone and call me man to man. I will be following this up with a letter to your office. I am not going to be intimidated by you.”

Alford was one of the earlier victims of the town hall rushes last month, so you can understand why his minions would be extra sensitive about constituents calling in to complain about the reich.
