Form a Thursday Facebook post by the Palatka, Florida Police Department: “Earlier today, a live hand grenade was discovered inside a donation bin at Goodwill (103 S State Road 19). The Palatka Police Department responded immediately, secured the scene, and evacuated the building out of an abundance of caution. The St Johns County Sheriff’s Office Bomb Squad was then requested to assist, and the device was safely retrieved and remotely detonated in a secure location.”

“We want to remind the community to thoroughly check all items before donating, ensuring that hazardous items, such as explosives, firearms, or ammunition, are not accidentally included. If you ever locate something that appears to be a hand grenade or other explosive device, do not touch or handle it. Immediately evacuate the area and call law enforcement. Thank you for your cooperation in helping keep our community safe,” the post continued preachily rather than praising the generosity of the patriot who wanted to give another Floridian access to a means of self-defense.

In a clip to short justify pasting in here, House Oversight Ranking Dem Robert Garcia told reporters that “Some of the other photos” from Direty Jeff’s estate “that we did not put out today are incredibly disturbing,” though he did not specify if they involved Jeff’s best bud.

New batch of photos acquired from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate and released by House Oversight Dems on Friday. Whoever the blonde woman and the two guys whose faces are visible in the bottom left pic matters less than that Ranking Oversight Member Congressman Robert Garcia’s team evidently do not consider them to have potentially ever been been victims of Dirty Jeff’s sprawling sex trafficking ring – or that they were legally adults at the time these pics were taken. Or both.

“Why doesn’t the DOJ make Peters a federal witness and send the US Marshals in to extract her from that state prison. Trump needs to start using Obama’s playbook on how to get what he wants and punish his enemies. Start with Consent Decrees in police departments to reverse Obama’s CD’s that infected local police with WOKE and CRT” – Top comment on the Friday morning JoeHoft.com article “BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Behind the Scenes on President Trump’s Pardon of Tina Peters.”

Joe is the twin brother of Jim “Gateway Pundit” Hoft – and brother-in-law to possible grooming victim/Philippine immigrant Jezreel Murano – who for some reason has his own eponymous site while also regularly publishing on his bro’s far more-trafficked far right propaganda outlet. With that explainer out of the way, here’s what stupid about the comment: Trump’s minions already tried that stupid “make Peters a federal witness” plan and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser’s office last month told them to fuck off – as did a federal judge on Monday. Maybe a clue to that should’ve been the fact that the stupid article itself was about Trump lamely attempting to pardon Peters.

Colorado lawyer H Michael Steinberg suffered multiple spinal fractures and a shattered pelvis after Daniel Ashby, the uncle of an unnamed 12 year-old victim with the same surname, assaulted him in a courtroom hallway following a hearing on Tuesday after Ashby confronted him and demanded to see Steinberg’s client, 19 year-old Christopher Ramirez-Rodriguez, whose vehicle ran a red light and fatally struck the younger Ashby back in July. There’s no indication in the article of whether Ramirez-Rodriguez is not a citizen, nor was he impaired by drugs or booze when the crash occurred.

So now a lawyer’s crippled, Ashby’s going away for a while, maybe even longer than Ramirez-Rodriguez, the nephew’s still dead, and the Post does not seem all that horrified by the brutality inflicted on a guy, who was just doing his job as every single accused is entitled to representation.

Steinberg’s not Emil Bove or Alan Dershowitz or Ed Martin, all of them effectively criminals themselves who would be far more deserving of courthouse manhandlings. If Ashby REALLY wanted to get to Ramirez-Rodriguez he could have vandalized a police car in the vicinity of wherever the defendant is being held and gotten himself locked up there… if Ramirez-Rodriguez is even being held. If he made bail then things would be even simpler than that. Fucking dumbass.

Long-suffering El Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s lawyer Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg had obviously very good reason to fear that the Trump Regime would simply re-detain him when he showed up for a mandatory check-in at the Baltimore ICE facility on Friday, less than 18 hours after his release from a Pennsylvania gulag, so he and his team stayed up late working on a motion to get a temporary restraining order put in place before Kilmar came in contact with the agency again.

“When Mr Abrego Garcia received the notice leaving the detention center yesterday afternoon that he had a check-in this morning, it seemed like a terrible case of deja vu, right? That he would just be freed in order to simply be cruelly rearrested again. So we were up late last night. Shortly after midnight, we filed an application for a temporary restraining order with Judge Xinis. And at 7:30 am, she granted the temporary restraining order, prohibiting Kilmar Abrego Garcia from being rearrested at this check-in today,” Sandoval-Moshenberg told reporters on Friday, per Fox News.

Incel podcaster Tim Pool, who last weekend claimed that his house/media empire/skateboarding compound in Berkeley County, West Virginia had been shot up by a “vehicle” as “the price we pay for speaking out against evil,” has since refused to provide local law enforcement with security cam footage to actually, you know, help them investigate the alleged incident, TMZ reports.

A source in the county sheriff’s office tells the consistently reliable celebrity-focused outlet that reports “of shots fired at this residence cannot be substantiated at this time,” given Tim’s refusal. It’s not clear what, if anything, law enforcement has to work with otherwise. “We were advised not to release [the footage] as it will compromise security, exposing property, personnel, and our security measures,” Pool told TMZ. He then invited them to send a reporter to West Virginia to view the tape.

To recap: Pool reported the incident to cops but won’t show them the video that would corroborate that it actually happened because, in his words, he’s afraid someone in the local sheriff’s office is going to leak what his compound’s front gate looks like. But for some reason he trusts TMZ, who regularly publish photos of where Hollywood celebrities regularly dine, shop, and socialize – as well as what cars they drive – not to print his compound’s address so other potential drive-by shooters could see what the front gate looks like on Google Maps street view. It would seem that the podcaster – who famously blamed “feminist politics” for his inability to find a girlfriend – doesn’t actually want to see his leftist terrorist would-be murderers apprehended and brought to justice.

“For years, Democrats ignored Violent and Vicious Crime of all shapes, sizes, colors, and types. Violent Criminals who should have been locked up were allowed to attack again. Democrats were also far too happy to let in the worst from the worst countries so they could rip off American Taxpayers. Democrats only think there is one crime – Not voting for them! Instead of protecting Americans and their Tax Dollars, Democrats chose instead to prosecute anyone they can find that wanted Safe and Secure Elections. Democrats have been relentless in their targeting of TINA PETERS, a Patriot who simply wanted to make sure that our Elections were Fair and Honest.”

“Tina is sitting in a Colorado prison for the ‘crime’ of demanding Honest Elections. Today I am granting Tina a full Pardon for her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday to null effect because she was hit with state charges. Sure, he also pardoned Rudy, the Kraken, John Eastman, etc for their 2020 election crimes even though the statute of limitations would’ve expired within weeks (if it didn’t already) and there’s zero chance his DOJ is ever going to prosecute them before 2029.

Same thing with Peters. So really it would seem that he’s pardoning her to see if it psyches out Colorado Gov Jared Polis, Secretary of State Jena Griswold, and Attorney General something into releasing Peters. Real 5D chessmaster we’ve got over there at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Also worth mentioning is that her “her attempts to expose Voter Fraud in the Rigged 2020 Presidential Election” cost the state’s taxpayers something like $10 million. Trump didn’t mention that, nor that she didn’t find shit that was useful to him. Literally nothing she did helped him overturn his defeat. She was an incompetent failure who he would’ve fired if she was on his payroll.

Long-suffering El Salvadoran immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia walked out of an ICE gulag in Pennsylvania on Thursday following a judge’s order that he be released and the rest of the story is so goddamned in the weeds that Fox News didn’t even bother to include what the next steps are.

As expected the Republican-majority Indiana state Senate on Thursday voted 31 to 19 against convicted felon President Trump’s gerrymandering command, leaving two Democratic districts intact for now, CNN reports on another L for Team Orange. All Dems and 21 Republicans voted no.

For the second time in as many weeks, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia has returned a no true bill on the Trump Regime Justice Department’s bullshit “mortgage fraud” charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, Politico reports on yet another L for Team Orange.

And no, there’s no law against this. They get infinity continues, simply because there’s never been this cuntish and incompetent of an administration who would just keep trying to indict an innocent defendant. It’s like legislating to outlaw covering wood chips in buffalo sauce and serving them with blue cheese… There might be a better analogy out there but you get the point: No such law was ever necessary because past administrations saw no reason to slap together complete bullshit cases and then keep trying after getting rejected by judges and grand juries over and over again.

Rod Bray, the Senate leader in Indiana, has consistently told us he wouldn't fight redistricting while simultaneously whipping his members against it. That level of dishonesty cannot be rewarded, and the Indiana GOP needs to choose a side. https://t.co/63Vg7qkpDg

“I inherited a MESS from the Biden Administration — The Worst Inflation in History, and the Highest Prices our Country has ever seen. In other words, Affordability, just 13 months ago, was a DISASTER for the American People, but now, it’s totally different! Prices are coming down FAST, Energy, Oil and Gasoline, are hitting five year lows, and the Stock Market today just hit an All Time High.”

“Tariffs are bringing in Hundreds of Billions of Dollars, and we are respected as a Nation again. When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country? When will people understand what is happening? When will Polls reflect the Greatness of America at this point in time, and how bad it was just one year ago?” posted convicted felon President Trump on Thursday, who seems maybe just a bit frustrated with how things are going.

Recall that his campaign posted signs saying “TRUMP: LOW PRICES – KAMALA: HIGH PRICES” which was a choice. He could’ve just kept his economic messaging and pledges vague while sticking mostly to the xenophobia/racism and “Law and Order” classics. But he might not’ve won that way, so he lied to voters, sadly too many of them listened, and here we are with him fucking crying on social media like a teenage girl about how mean everyone’s being and that no one understands him.

The total Grinches on the US Supreme Court – along with crotchety old Tennessee Governor Billy Lee said “Bah humbug!” to condemned serial rapist and murderer Harold Wayne Nichols’s pleas for just a little clemency this holiday season, ending with Nichols visiting the Ghost of Christmas Future permanently at 10:39 AM CT on Thursday, USA Today reports on a Christmas non-miracle.

It’s not clear if the prison’s death row has a “Secret Santa” exchange but at least Nichols died knowing he wouldn’t have to try to acquire another Ken doll for fellow condemned inmate Henry Eugene Hodges, awaiting execution for murdering eight men who had hired him for sex acts.

Hmmm… Maybe should’ve saved “Karoline’s Khristmas Special” for next week in case she does actually hold one closer to Christmas. Still leaves a whole week to come up with another headline.

Dog-murdering Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday got up and left the room during a hearing of the House committee that oversees her department, saying simply “I have to actually leave this hearing early” and spewing some bullshit about a FEMA council something something that evidently provided a convenient enough excuse for her to book it.

Just throwing this out there that maybe, just maybe, Dem Seth Magaziner confronting her with a live Zoom call with a Korean-born combat veteran deported earlier this year because of some minor drug conviction from the 1990s and THEN the combat veteran husband of an Irish-born woman who’s been in the gulag for four months because she wrote bad checks for $80 a decade ago. That Magaziner asked Noem to thank both for their service probably led to her early exit.

Congressional Dems led by California Senator Adam Schiff on Thursday sent a letter to the Justice Department’s Inspector General’s Office demanding that an “audit” be conducted “to reassure the American public that any files released have not been tampered with or concealed, the chain of custody forms associated with records and evidence in the Epstein files must be accounted for, analyzed, and released,” CBS News reports on what’s obviously pretty goddamned necessary given the amount of FBI man-hours put in to redacting the Orange God Emperor’s name from the files.

Separately, lawyers for the Epstein survivors tell CBS they’ll stand up a third-party review process to check if any record has been “scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed before the public sees it.”

Shitbag Secretary of State Marco Rubio and other Trump minions are making moves toward revoking the green cards of former European Union Commissioner Thierry Breton and Imran Ahmed, CEO and founder of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, for their sin of a $140 million fine that the European Union levied against Twitter for breaches of the Digital Services Act surrounding transparency, Zeteo reports on Ketamine Brain working his tentacles back into the Trump Regime.

The move would be in lockstep with a State Department directive issued last week for work visa reviewers to scrutinize if applicants have worked for entities combatting online disinfo/propaganda.
