“At the direction of the Commander in Chief, US Central Command forces have started conducting additional strikes against Iran to further degrade their ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” said CENTCOM in a statement on Wednesday, adding “The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway,” as though a politically-worded justification is necessary when it’s supposed to be a simple bulletin of military action against a hostile state.

Dem Maine State Representative Valli Geiger tells WMTW she’s spoken with soon-to-be-ex-US Senate nominee Graham Platner and that she is his pick to replace him on the ticket.

“He said ‘Valli you are a fighter, you have been with this movement since the beginning,'” Geiger said of her Monday night conversation with the doomed candidate. Geiger then pulled her endorsement the next day in an equivocal statement, saying “I will not throw Graham under the bus, but neither will I slander or accuse [Platner’s rape accuser] Ms Racicot of anything more than telling the truth as she experienced it. I acknowledge the pain on all sides and offer compassion on all sides. But there are no winners here, something profoundly hopeful has been lost.” Proooobably not enough here.

Asked by a reporter in Turkey for comment on convicted felon president Trump’s renewed imperial bloodlust for the vast Arctic icemass, NATO chief Mark Rutte on Wednesday took a surprisingly pro-MAGA approach, saying “When it comes to defense of the Arctic, he absolutely was right, because there is a huge risk that Russia and China will gain more and more access to the Arctic,” but otherwise stopped short of calling for a full US takeover of the autonomous Danish territory.

Dem Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear’s office on Monday announced they’ve “sent a letter to the office of US Sen Mitch McConnell requesting an update on his health and well-being amid growing concerns around the Senator’s ability to serve,” possibly heralding some sort of determination.

“Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen McConnell. As Governor – and a fellow public official who understands the commitment we’ve made to the people we serve – I am requesting the Senator provide an update on his current health status. Allowing speculation to continue in the media is not fair to the Senator or to Kentuckians, and my hope is that this provides him the opportunity to share the information in a transparent manner, direct from the source. I wish him a safe and speedy recovery,” said Beshear.

“The request for an update comes after reports that Sen McConnell was admitted to hospital on June 14. Since then, limited information has been shared from the Senator’s official office. The Governor’s administration has seen a rise in inquiries about the health status of the Senator. Rather than contribute to the increased speculation unfolding in the media and public space, Gov Beshear is reaching out directly to Sen McConnell to make the request,” the statement continued.

Dow Jones Futures dropped by nearly 600 points Wednesday and Brent Crude oil was up by over $4 after convicted felon President Trump told cameras at the NATO summit that the ceasefire with Iran (which wasn’t even really a ceasefire) is “over,” signaling a return to hostilities, CNBC reports.

“I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They’re scum. Do you know what scum is? They’re led by sick people. They’re vicious, violent people. They’re liars. They’re cuckoo,” said Donald.

Fucking New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a socialist maniac who’s going to destroy private enterprise with his plan to open city-owned grocery stores to remove the profit motive to operate a retail establishment. So many honest small business owners will be screwed if that evil commie scumbag gets his way and uses taxpayer money to enter the supermarket industry.

“US Central Command forces have begun launching a series of powerful strikes against Iran to impose heavy costs for targeting and attacking commercial shipping crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway. The US strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels that were transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Iran’s demonstrated aggression was unwarranted, dangerous, and a clear violation of the ceasefire,” says CENTCOM in a statement on Tuesday.

In yet another L for the Trump Regime at the investigative level of its frivolous bullshit conspiracy theory-based “cases,” a Georgia federal judge on Tuesday nuked a subpoena aimed at Fulton County officials who oversaw the 2020 presidential election, Lawfare’s Anna Bower reports.

In tossing the subpoena for the identities of those who worked the 2020 election, District Judge William Ray wrote “These records, even if they lead to the DOJ finding individuals who worked for Fulton County in the 2020 Election who support the theory that the 2020 Election was not fair, would not lead to information that could be used to charge anyone with anything, at least not any viable charge. That is because the statute of limitations for any possible crime arising from the 2020 Election has long expired, as the DOJ must have brought such a case, if it could, no later than late 2025 or the early weeks of 2026,” and concluded that “The subpoena power of the Grand Jury is broad, but it is not absolute. If it were, the Supreme Court could simply say so, which it has not.”

“Given the low need for the subpoenaed information and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure, the Subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17(a)(2),” Ray continued, further nailing the coffin on the reich’s presumption of regularity.

A 23 year-old Idaho “MAHA” mom who last year appeared on a webcast formerly produced by now-Health and Human Services Secretary Bobby “Brainworms” Kennedy Jr to claim that her twin 18 month-old toddlers died just days after being vaccinated for the flu and other viruses has been arrested for their murder following an obviously lengthy and thorough investigation, CNN reports.

Boise cops cuffed Andrea Shaw on Tuesday following a grand jury indictment. The MAHA shitbag faces the death penalty and is being held on $2 million bond, ahead of a July 14th appearance. It would seem as though this case is probably going to affect her other one, as Shaw is currently a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit brought by Children’s Health Defense – the group whose podcast Shaw appeared on last may and Kennedy led until he quit in December 2024 following his nomination.

The lawsuit, filed in January in federal court in Washington by Shaw and other MAHA scumbags, accuses the American Academy of Pediatrics of racketeering for its “central role in an enterprise that has defrauded American families about the safety of the childhood vaccine schedule for several decades.” In the lawsuit, Shaw is described as a mother “whose children died following routine vaccinations administered according to AAP guidelines.” They might want to amend the complaint, even if the “after” part is in all likelihood technically true. The sick fuck faces the death penalty.

Reich-y French politician Marine Le Pen can run for president again next year – while wearing an electronic ankle monitor – a Paris appeals court ruled on Tuesday, France24 reports. The bad news for her is that her embezzlement conviction was upheld and she’s still doing a year on house arrest.

All 3 of these posts went up on the same day.

But the contemptible liars at the Daily Beast wrote this disgusting headline anyways.

No wonder they can’t afford to keep their editorial team.

“The United States Military has never been stronger, or more powerful. No other Nation can do what we do (It’s not even close!). This year we set even more Historic Recruiting Records, months ahead of schedule. Morale has never been higher. Our Military’s unmatched POWER was on full display during our Celebration of 250 Years of American Independence and, like our Country, the WAR DEPARTMENT has never been ‘HOTTER.’ We need to keep it that way, which is why, when Congress returns, we must pass Reconciliation 3.0, with 350 Billion Dollars for Defense, plus THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! I am calling on House and Senate Leadership to make this their Number One Priority, and ensure that 350 Billion Dollars in Recon 3.0 moves out of the Budget Committee as soon as Congress is back in session. The SAVE AMERICA ACT, which everyone is asking for, paired with the full funding of our Great Department of War, can be passed very quickly, ensuring that the United States of America stays FREE for Generations to come,” posted convicted felon President Trump early Tuesday, not-so-subtly hinting he’ll hold up funding the US military if Congress won’t pass his deranged voter suppression bill that would absolutely backfire if it ever somehow became law.

Oak Bluff, Massachusetts man Jonathan Searle tells Remind Magazine that his very brief career as a child actor playing the kid who wore a fake shark fin during a scene in 1975’s Jaws hasn’t had any cosmic bearing on his current role as real chief of police in the town of Oak Bluff, which stood in as the fictional Amity in the film, thus putting Searle in the shoes of Roy Scheider’s Brody.

“Zero. Never. The only shark bite that we had was someone fishing for sharks and caught one. It was hooked, and they were dragging him into the surf, and the shark slid into him riding a wave and accidentally bit him in the leg,” the 61 year-old Searle told the outlet when asked if there had been any shark attacks during his tenure. They either didn’t bother asking if he ever had to respond to a panic caused by a kid wearing a shark fin at a beach or the answer was so terse they didn’t print it.

Asked how Oak Bluff has changed since the movie premiered over a half-century ago, the lawman said “Population-wise, it started after Jaws put it on the map. Hate to say Ted Kennedy put it on the map in the late 60s [referring to adjacent Edgartown and Chappaquiddick]. Yeah. And then Jaws put it on the map, and then visiting presidents Clinton and Obama put it on the map even more. So, our population now is, I’m guessing, two and a half times what it was back in the seventies, and a lot of year-round population. Summer population, I’m guessing roughly 22 to 24,000 year-round, and in the summer that’s easily 120 to 150,000 at least,” just ever-so-casually alluding to the day-to-day headaches he experiences on the job as top cop in a seasonal beach town, busy seasons yet to be punctuated by having to blow up a bus-sized great white shark with a flare gun and oxygen tanks.

“Maine Democratic Party leadership takes seriously our responsibility to hold every candidate who seeks to represent our state to the highest standard. Over the past several weeks, multiple women have made serious, credible allegations against Graham Platner. Today’s statements take those allegations even further. Maine Democratic Party leadership is calling on Graham Platner to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for US Senate,” says a statement from chair Charlie Dingman.

“The Maine Democratic Party leadership stands with women and survivors, and that principle does not bend based on party affiliation. We respect the women who made the hard decision to come forward. Speaking up is often costly. We are entrusted with deciding who represents our values and who carries our banner. That responsibility requires judgment, leadership, and a willingness to act when circumstances demand it. This Senate race comes at a pivotal moment in the struggle against a government, supported by Senator Collins, that serves the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary Maine people. It is essential that we refocus this campaign on that struggle,” the statement continued and it ought to be interesting if/when Trump chimes in.

“Great news! I have just been informed that one of the biggest, best, and smartest Retailers in America, Walmart, will be lowering prices, by a lot, at my Administration’s request to celebrate our great Country’s 250th birthday. Walmart will, in particular, be dropping the price for a pound of ground beef by almost 15 percent, among many other products. This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart, which is a truly patriotic Company who loves the USA. My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures. Just as I promised, Oil Prices are plummeting FAST, and Gas Prices at the pump are dropping too, just like egg and Prescription Drug prices which I am bringing down by historic levels. Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before!” posted convicted felon President Trump on July 6, 2026.

“Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!” posted convicted felon President Trump on May 17, 2025.

FIFA officials on Monday responded to Belgium’s appeal of the red card and one game suspension against star birthright citizen Flo Balogun by pulling a Sam Alito and simply siding with convicted felon President Trump irrespective of the actual situation, the New York Times’s Tom Bogert reports.

In fairness the appeal was rejected on grounds that Belgium is “not a party to the proceedings and, as such, has no standing to appeal the decision,” and technically if anyone was going to appeal it should be Bosnia. But it doesn’t matter anyway since they were knocked out… Still, seems awfully convenient for the deeply corrupt global soccer federation that made up its own “peace prize” to give to Trump and, almost certainly, no other world leader, ever.
