The freaking weird saga of Trashelle Odom and Corey Lewandowski took a not-terribly unexpected turn Friday when the newly-divorced MAGA donor community socialite sat for an interview with CBS and revealed that, after the longtime campaign minion of convicted felon former President Trump had sexually harassed and assaulted her during a 2021 Las Vegas fundraiser for Corey’s other girlfriend, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Corey’s lawyers had tried to pay her $30,000 to keep quiet even while publicly denying that he had cornered Trashelle, bragged about stabbing two people to death, the first one was when he was 10 years old, that his “dick is four inches bigger than a normal dick,” and could have sex for 12 hours straight, as well as groping her repeatedly.

Trashelle also revealed that Trump called her personally after the incident, told her Corey was drunk and that he would be exiled from “Trump world.” Then two months ago a friend called and told her that Corey was back on the campaign which Trashelle describes through tears as making her “very upset.” She doesn’t say anything more about Trump or Lewandowski, however, with the anchor saying afterward that Trashelle now has her own small business, and is done with politics. The anchor adds that neither the Trump campaign nor Lewandowski himself would respond to a request for comment. That’s kind of telling that Steven Cheung didn’t want to call Trashelle a lying bitch.

Anti-woke texting service “Woke Alert,” a free SMS-based newsletter for all your boycotting needs, has now turned their fire on oral nicotine pouch product Zyn because parent corporation Philip Morris – which also produces the Marlboro cigarette brand that probably literally killed tens of millions of smokers worldwide over the last century – has distributed some internal literature promoting the company’s embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in the workplace.

Further down in the wokeness advisory, Woke Alert writes that “Philip Morris also pushes gender ideology on its customers. Philip Morris partners with Stonewall, an organization which aims to promote a LGBTQ+ lifestyle among children and young people. Stonewall also encourages teachers to indoctrinate students on LGBTQ+ topics and incorporate it in their curriculum. The company also sponsored a LGBTQ+ summit featuring the Trevor Project’s CEO. The Trevor Project is a LGBTQ+ youth organization that offers an anonymous online chat forum that has already faced criticism for providing a platform in which adults can communicate to minors about sexuality.”

“This platform requires no age verification and allows children to participate without their parents’ knowledge,” the alert continued, emphasizing that the “problem” is not simply confined to the workplace and Philip Morris is working to indoctrinate children and so on. You will not be shocked to learn that Woke Alert in no way expresses similar concern for children acquiring and using Zyn.

Priorities, people.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk took to X on Friday afternoon to claim the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is "actively blocking" volunteers who try to help the struggling citizens of western North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Helene.

What Newsmax didn’t report is that Republican North Carolina state Senator Kevin Corbin on Thursday posted “Friends can I ask a small favor? Will you all help STOP this conspiracy theory junk that is floating all over Facebook and the internet about the floods in [Western North Carolina]. Example: FEMA is stealing money from donations, body bags ordered but government has denied, bodies not being buried, government is controlling the weather from Antarctica, government is trying to get lithium from WNC, stacks of bodies left at hospitals, and on and on and on. PLEASE help stop this junk. It is just a distraction to people trying to do their job. Folks, this is a catastrophic event of which this country has never known. It is the largest crisis event in the history of NC. The state is working non-stop. DOT has deployed workers from all over the state. Duke power has 10,000 workers on this. FEMA is here. The National Guard is here in large numbers. My Senate district is 8 counties and it takes 3 hours to drive across it in good weather… And this disaster is 25 counties in NC. This is going to take MONTHS if not years to overcome. Government will play a role in this cleanup. We are going to make sure the state chips in some massive money,” and so on.

How do we know Newsmax didn’t report on the message? Because a Google search of “state senator kevin corbin site:newsmax.com” returns just one June 20, 2023 article where he’s mentioned: “NC Legislature Pushes Limits on Trans Youth Rights Near Session’s End,” quoting Corbin as saying that the bill to restrict gender-transition health care and trans participation in sports “is not against anybody.” So that’s probably why they ignored Corbin. He’s on Team MAGA with other shit, but this week he was actually trying to make it easier for his constituents to get help.

• It’s nothing but sadism: intentionally telling the victims of a natural disaster that available aid isn’t there to take, lying to them to stoke anger among voters, but actually leading to despair for people already beaten down.  America should be better than that. 
• Melania can go on a book tour but not a campaign stop, eh?  #Priorities
• The other day, I got bitten by a praying mantis and I’m hoping it was radioactive so I develop awesome superpowers.  
• When the politician objects to fact-checking, realize he objects to it because he wants to lie to you without repercussions.  He needs to lie and he’s angry he can’t anymore.

A video making its way around conservative social media propagandists “influencers” claims to show iconic comedian Bill Murray endorsing Donald Trump, saying, “He’s a different character than anyone that’s ever been a President of the United States, I think,” the image says. “What this [Trump] vote means is that the country is dissatisfied with the way that Washington has worked.”

The problem:  it’s an AI-created Deep Fake, reports Forbes.  Murray hasn’t made any endorsement in this election; the last time he made a public endorsement, it was for Ralph Nadar in 2000, so…

Nearly six dozen people associated with a white nationalist street gang known as the SFV Peckerwoods were arrested by federal agents over the previous week and charged with running a criminal organization in the San Fernando Valley, LA Magazine reports.

Police seized more than dozens of pounds of fentanyl, methamphetamine, and heroin as well as multiple guns during the Peckerwood sweep, which brought in 68 people, including 42 known members of the gang. The 76-count indictment says the Peckerwoods engaged in a “years-long pattern of racketeering activity that included trafficking of drugs — including fentanyl — illegal firearms possession, and COVID-19 benefits and loan fraud.”

As part of its continuing harassment of government institutions, the Heritage Foundation wants all documentation from NASA’s internal communications mentioning Donald Trump and/or Elon Musk, likely as a way to build a PR-focused complaint about how the Deep State treated the world’s richest man, Reuters reports.

The director of the Heritage Foundation’s investigative unit said in an interview that the group believes NASA is restraining private companies like Musk’s SpaceX developing innovative technologies because they’re too interested in DEI.  (Yeah, seriously.). “Instead of cool things in space,” Heritage’s Mike Howell said, NASA is “doing all this woke stuff on the ground.”

Besides that bullshit, the conservative group has made hundreds of similar requests in other agencies to seek out anti-Trump sentiment stated by government employees, likely to create a list of civil servants who would be targeted by the felon should he somehow gain office.

“South Carolina citizens now have more time to register to vote ahead of the 2024 General Election after a court today ordered the voter registration deadline be extended to October 14. The eight-day extension was ordered due to the widespread impact of Hurricane Helene. Several county voter registration offices were closed for days before being able to reopen for registration. Offices in Edgefield, Laurens, and McCormick have remained closed due to the storm. The extended deadline applies to voters in all counties,” says the South Carolina Election Commission in a statement.

Convicted felon former President Trump with his often-abused underling Georgia Governor Brian Kemp will hold a press conference with Kemp acting as if the fat fuck is a current government official who can actually make things happen as opposed to the real president and his cabinet.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Messel on Friday announced charges against four assholes in Macomb County who voted twice in the state’s August 6th primary and three poll workers who let them do it, charges that local Republican DA Pete Lucido had failed to pursue, the AP reports.

Lucido had declared that there was “no malicious or criminal intent” when the four had voted absentee by mail and then showed up to vote in person on primary day. Nessel disagreed and pulled rank. “There are so many different procedures that are involved here. I think if you’re not highly familiar with this, the way that our staff has become, it’s easy to make mistakes,” said Nessel.

“Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives. The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough,” says a text message that Ketamine Brain attributes to a SpaceX engineer on the ground in North Carolina, a screenshot of which convicted felon former President Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday.

“It’s true. They are now about to shut down the Air space to ‘regulate’ the private choppers we are riding in to deliver Starlink and supplies. We are pushing back with trump team as well to help us, but not looking good. We need help to get word out about FEMA, we spoke with Ivanka and handed out starlinks with her yesterday but FEMA then showed up and started blocking us,” the message from “Mike!” continued and holy fucking shit, lol. “We spoke with Ivanka”?!?!? What the hell.

Anyway, on Thursday FEMA put up a “Rumor Response” page with one entry that already overlaps with a lot of this incitement circlejerk. “Rumors about FEMA turning away donations, stopping trucks or vehicles with donations, confiscating and seizing supplies often spread after a disaster. These are all false. FEMA does not take donations and/or food from survivors or voluntary organizations. Donations of food, water, or other goods are handled by voluntary agencies who specialize in storing, sorting, cleaning, and distributing donated items. FEMA does not conduct vehicle stops or handle road closures with armed guards – those are done by local law enforcement.”

Two quotes from Mike Pence replacement JD Vance from NPR’s Steve Fowler:

He and his fat Orange Boss are “focused on the future in this election and in this campaign” and he thinks that “it’s interesting that the American media wants to talk so much about 2020.”

Also that Facebook and Twitter throttling the New York Post story on Hunter Biden’s laptop “probably cost Donald Trump hundreds of thousands or maybe even millions of votes.”

House Oversight Committee Ranking Members Jamie Raskin on Friday offered Supreme Court Justice John Roberts a little taste of what life’s going to be like the next time the Dems have a majority, sending a letter asking why the hell Roberts took over for Samuel Alito for the opinion giving convicted felon former President Trump a blank check to do whatever he wants just days after Sam’s insurrection fetish flags were first reported publicly.

Convicted felon former President Trump is scheduled to appear in Georgia at an October 23rd event held by small-faced minion Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA slush fund, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Greg Bluestein reports, pointing out that it’s the same day as the debate that CNN proposed and Vice President Kamala Harris accepted in their Atlanta studio, a face-off that the fat fuck pretty much immediately rejected as “just too late. Voting has already started,” despite having faced Joe Biden in an October 22nd, 2020 debate. Not that this really matters, but even though that’s a day short of four years exactly, it’s actually a longer gap at 13 days until Election Day on November 5th. The 2020 election was held on November 3rd, 12 days after that year’s final debate.

There’s no time information on Bluestein’s screenshot of the TPUSA promo for the Trump public rant, but the address is listed as a convention center in Duluth, Georgia, just 27 miles from CNN’s original headquarters in the Peach State’s capital. It’s pretty obvious from the location and the lack of a fixed time for his on-stage appearance is at the very least a sign that the fat bastard’s campaign are keeping his options open and could face Harris again if maybe he himself doesn’t realize it yet.

Yes it was a white guy and not a Haitain, according to lefty journo Steve Monacelli, who obtained the arrest report on Thursday. Yes, he’s a registered Republican according to voter registration info. No, none of this is surprising because these MAGA motherfuckers don’t care and never will.

“Lyin’ Kamal Harris, who refuses to do interviews or press conferences because she has no idea how to answer the questions, and is now losing in the polls, continues to make a thing called Project 2025 the central theme of her campaign, advertising and all. Lyin’ Kamala has been informed, legally, that I have, and had, nothing to do with it, NEVER READ IT, NEVER SAW IT, but her ads continue, full blast. When you see them talking about Project 2025, remember, Kamala is lying, just like she lied about working at McDonalds (she didn’t!), or added 818,000 new jobs that didn’t exist (a fraud!), and sooo many other lies. Just like San Francisco and California, itself, she would, if given the chance, COMPLETELY DESTROY OUR COUNTRY!” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Friday to indulge in some more victimhood and whining about Stolen McValor, emphasis added on the implied claim that the Harris campaign is ignoring a cease and desist.

Actually that headline’s a complete lie because you already guessed if you read the article from last week titled “Oklahoma schools chief asks for $3.5 million for guns and Bibles.” In fact at least one commenter explicitly predicted this. We alluded to a rigged bidding process to supply the Bibles to classrooms but thought it was may just a little too on the nose to say what you expected.

What is maybe mildly surprising in the Oklahoman’s reporting is that, per state Superintendent of Education Ryan Walters’ specs – that the Bible must be the King James Version, must contain the Old and New Testaments, must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, and the US Constitution, and must be bound in leather or leather-like material – is that it’s not just the $60 Lee Greenwood God Bless The USA Bible that fits this. No, they threw us a curveball and it turns out there’s another Trump-endorsed Bible called the “We The People Bible.”

It sells for $90. Didn’t see that one coming. So we guess the bid process is competitive, though the obvious edge goes to Greenwood’s just by virtue of price. Then again we don’t know whether the other one is paying Trump royalties on the sales. If it is then it actually is a “better value.”

Look we’re not accusing this Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 guy of being a pedophile, we’re just saying if it’s okay for him to say it just doesn’t feel like the economy isn’t doing well despite like a shit ton of evidence to the contrary then it should be okay for us to say it feels like he’s a pedophile. Just look at him. He even talks like a guy trying to explain himself to Chris Hansen.
