Why the hell is the National Review selling these “at cost”? They can’t at least take a profit and donate it to buy a nice fishing vacation or something for Seditious Sam? Cheap bastards.
Barry County, Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf appears to be as good at hiring people as he is at finding evidence that Dominion Voting Systems rigged the 2020 election against convicted felon former President Trump, which is to say fucking terrible as Undersheriff Jason Sixberry has been fired from his side gig as head coach at Hastings High School’s baseball team for what the Hastings Banner reports was “behavior that overstepped the boundaries of appropriate coach/player relationships.”
Per the Banner, Sixberry “inappropriately used social media and cell phone texting as a means of communicating with players on matters not related to the baseball program” and “regularly offered gift cards to players for reasons that are unclear, which is not only inappropriate but may also be [Michigan High School Athletic Association] rules violation,” both very much telltale signs of predatory groomer-ism. Sixberry also used “inappropriate language” around players but what the fuck kind of high school athletics coach isn’t salty on occasion? Or all the time?
“While our investigation did not find any evidence of any incident we believe to be illegal or requiring a mandated report to Child Protective Services, we did find a preponderance of evidence of situations we believe to be inappropriate in a healthy coach/player relationship,” said Athletic Director Mike Goggins in a statement that might’ve been the end of the story of some unhinged, immature weirdo getting fired for acting as such around teenagers. It happens.
First Lady Jill Biden on Friday returned from France to attend stepson Hunter Biden’s ongoing federal gun charges trial and will head back to France after court adjourns for the day, NBC’s Ryan Nobles reports, noting that the only day of the trial so far that she actually missed was Thursday during the D-Day ceremonies in Normandy. To be clear it in no way is an intentional effort to make Ivanka and Melania Trump look bad but it’s hard not to notice that obvious side effect.

Gotta love these Red State douchebags still whining even after their asses still got saved from 12 years in prison for bringing ammo onto the British island territory. This is the kind of grit needed to persevere and maintain one’s sense of MAGA entitlement after the psychic wound of being forced to rely on the Biden Administration to be liberated and return home a free man.
“Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 272,000 in May, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.0 percent, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment continued to trend up in several industries, led by health care, government, leisure and hospitality, and professional, scientific, and technical services” says the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The growth significantly exceeded the 180,000 jobs expected by Dow Jones’s survey of economists.
President Joe Biden apologized to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the long Republican-caused delay in continued military aid to the beleaguered ally in Paris on Friday, the AP reports.
“We’re still in. Completely. Thoroughly,” Biden told Zelensky about the continued support of the American people for Ukraine, even if in reality that’s kind of TBD by the November election.
“It’s very important that in this unity, United States of America, all American people stay with Ukraine like it was during World War II,” Zelenskyy said. “How the United States helped to save human lives, to save Europe. And we count on your continuing support in standing with us shoulder to shoulder.”
The meeting comes a day after a legitimately powerful moment in Normandy when, during a ceremony commemorating the D-Day landings, Zelensky was greeting American veterans of the battle. One of them, 99 year-old Melvin Hurwitz, pulled Zelensky in for a hug and exclaimed “Oh, you’re the savior of the people!” to which Zelensky replied “No, no, no, you… you saved Europe.”
Friday is National Donut Day, a solemn remembrance of the American heroes who bravely landed in Europe bringing donuts with them to help liberate France from the German war machine.
And as much as that may sound like a particularly weak and uninspired attempt at sounding flippant over D-Day, it’s actually pretty much true. The Austin American-Statesman reports that, unlike so many other similar “holidays,” National Donut Day was not contrived by some company or industry group’s marketing department but the Salvation Army, who declared it in 1938 to honor their “Donut Lassies” of World War I. “In 1917, these women were sent to France to establish field bases near the front lines. In makeshift huts, thousands of soldiers would come to stock up on essential goods and grab a sweet treat baked by the Lassies,” says a page on the Salvation Army’s website.
So when you’re picking up your free donut from Dunkin or Krispy Kreme or Tim Hortons or whoever else is giving them out on Friday just remember that you have to feel kind of guilty for not just the fat, sugar, and calories you’re consuming, but also that you’re participating in a ritual created by an organization with a reputation for hostility toward LGBTQ+ individuals… during Pride Month.
South Carolina Congressmoron Nancy Mace has been expensing tens of thousands of dollars worth of personal shit to the House of Representatives, Punchbowl News reports citing data in disclosures to a program that allows members to seek reimbursement for living expenses while in DC.
The expenses taxpayers covered, such as payments to Washington Gas, Pepco water, Xfinity internet, insurance, and taxes for her $1,649,000 Capitol Hill townhouse, exceed the actual cost of living in the place for the deranged idiot Congresswoman, per Punchbowl’s analysis of the line items.
Noting that “it’s a process,” Dr. Phil McGraw says he essentially had a therapy session with convicted felon and daughter desirer Donald Trump and that Trump won’t really follow through on his threats–made earlier in the day–to seek revenge on the members of the January 6th Committee and anyone else not donning a red hat. We hope Mr. Trump will seek the psychological help he obviously needs to address his narcissistic sociopathy through continued therapy with Dr. Phil, or maybe someone else.
All those energy boosters and fat burners couldn’t save Infowars. On Thursday, Alex Jones agreed to reorganize his personal bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 liquidation of his assets, caving to pressure from lawyers and Sandy Hook families to turn over part of the hundreds of millions he owes from civil lawsuits, CNN reports.
With the company controlling Infowars also in bankruptcy and overseen by a court agent, the move means the timetable to sell off Jones’s network and lavish homes could move rapidly to rid Jones of everything he owns. The hearing for Free Speech Systems’ bankruptcy is scheduled for next Friday after the company switched its bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 liquidation.
Beavis cosplayer Kellyanne Conway is giddy about the prospect of misleading people over the next five months, and she’s jumping on the train from Back to the Future III to rewrite the history of things Trump himself said in recorded interviews he has “every right” to retaliate.
…’cause this is the new narrative via the lemmings in the mainstream media this week: “Trump wants revenge and vengeance.” He’s, uh, the one who’s had that visited upon him and if you ne-need any evidence look no further than how he just stood-down in any kinda prosecution of Hillary Clinton and retribution after he beat her fairly and squarely and racked up 304 Electoral votes in 2016. Many people said, lock her up.
In a turf remake of the Miracle on Ice, the 18th-ranked United States team beat one of the perennial powerhouses in world cricket, Pakistan, in an International Cricket Council’s T20 World Cup match played in Dallas on Thursday, CNN reports.
The US is ranked immediately behind Nepal and ahead of Oman in the world standings, while sixth-ranked Pakistan holds the ICC Champions Trophy. T20 is an abbreviated form of a traditional cricket match, which can sometimes carry on for days. In T20, each team gets 120 pitches, in six-pitch rounds, to score as many runs as possible, with each side taking all their turns at bat at once.
In Thursday’s match, the US’s Nitish Kuma tied the game on the very last pitch forcing a Super-Over where each team got six pitches to score as many runs as possible. In the overtime, the US outscored Pakistan 18-13. The US and the West Indies are jointly hosting 2024 T20 World Cup.
Supreme Court Justices received more than $4.7 million in gifts over the last ten years, with one specific justice–you can’t imagine who!–accounting for more than 80% of value, an analysis by the watchdog group FixTheCourt reports. The group looked at official records and filings required by federal rules, and it also combed public records for other evidence of unreported or misreported gifts.
Justice Clarence Thomas accounted for only one-third of the total gifts, but those gifts came to a total value of $4,042,286, roughly 80% the cumulative value of all gifts received from 2004 through 2023 by the 17 people who served on the Court, $4,755,147. The runners-up: Antonin Scalia, who died in 2016, with $210,164, and neighborhood terrorist Samuel Alito with $170,095. You can find the data in spreadsheet form here; remember to look at the crosstabs at the bottom for the details.
Pennsylvania Republicans in the state house loudly booed two former Capitol Police officers who were part of the force that defended Congress against the GOP-led domestic terrorist attack on January 6th, the Washington Post reports, hitting a new low for MAGA office holders.
Democratic House Speaker Joanna McClinton introduced Former U.S. Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn and former sergeant Aquilino Gonell in a floor speech, calling them “heroes” who “bravely defended democracy in the United States Capitol against rioters and insurrection on January 6th.”
At that point, people in the room said, the chamber erupted into chaos as Republicans booed and hissed the men and the description of an “insurrection,” while Democrats responded to support the visitors. “I heard some hissing and I saw about eight to 10 of my Republican colleagues walk out angrily as they were announced as police officers from the U.S. Capitol on January 6,” said state representative Arvind Venkat, who represents suburban Pittsburgh, noting he was “shocked and appalled.”
Convicted felon former President Trump will supposedly take questions from the crowd at an Arizona event hosted by small-faced gauleiter Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point slush fund. Not holding out a ton of hope he’ll get any hardballs but since you never know we might as well carry it.
Justice Department: “A federal jury convicted a California man for sending threatening emails to the FBI, including ones in which he threatened to bomb the FBI Los Angeles Field Office and referenced the notorious ‘Unabomber.’ Mark William Anten, 52, of Sun Valley, was found guilty of two counts of threats by interstate communication. He has been in federal custody since December 2023.”
“According to evidence presented at a three-day trial, from July 2023 to December 2023, Anten sent a series of increasingly threatening communications to the FBI, culminating in two threats to bomb the FBI field office in Westwood. These emails included repeated references to Theodore Kaczynski, aka ‘The Unabomber,’ whose 20-year bombing campaign killed three people and injured nearly two dozen more. Kaczynski was convicted of federal crimes, spent the bulk of his prison sentence in the Supermax federal prison in Colorado and died in a different federal prison last year.”
“On Nov 20, 2023, two FBI task force officers interviewed Anten in front of his residence. During the interview, Anten admitted to sending the previous communications and the officers admonished him to stop contacting agents, the affidavit states. Despite the admonition, Anten’s conduct escalated.”
“On Dec 5, 2023, Anten sent to FBI agents an email in which he wrote, ‘I AM THE UNABOMBER’ and ‘I WILL UNABOMB THE LOS ANGELES FBI HQ.’ The next day, Anten wrote to FBI agents, ‘I can go on a mass murder spree. In fact it would be very explainable by your actions… You ain’t getting away with this one,’ and signed the email, ‘SuperMax or Death.’ Anten also sent FBI agents an email, which attached a photo depicting the results of an internet search for ‘how to make a dirty bomb.’ Later that day, Anten visited the FBI Los Angeles Field Office and later emailed agents that he visited their building and would continue to do so. Surveillance footage confirmed Anten’s presence there.”
“It is a Total and Complete American Tragedy that the Crooked Joe Biden Department of Injustice is so desperate to jail Steve Bannon, and every other Republican, for that matter, for not SUBMITTING to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, made up of all Democrats, and two CRAZED FORMER REPUBLICAN LUNATICS, Cryin’ Adam Kinzinger, and Liz ‘Out of Her Mind’ Cheney.”
“It has been irrefutably proven that it was the Unselects who committed actual crimes when they deleted and destroyed all material evidence, in a pathetic attempt to protect Crazy Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats from the TRUTH — THAT I DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG. The unAmerican Weaponization of our Law Enforcement has reached levels of Illegality never thought possible before. INDICT THE UNSELECT J6 COMMITTEE FOR ILLEGALLY DELETING AND DESTROYING ALL OF THEIR ‘FINDINGS!'” posted convicted felon former President Trump on Thursday.
Do we even need to fact-check this shit about the House January 6th Select Committee?
In a pre-taped interview that’ll air Sunday or whenever who knows, President Joe Biden tells ABC’s David Muir his son Hunter is getting a fair trial in Delaware and ruled out pardoning him.
WOW! Fox Newsreels just reported that Crooked Fake-President-lin D Roosevelt ordered Hundreds of Thousands of US troops to land on the beaches at Normandy in France, where German soldiers were occupying the area to maintain peace and order at the request of the highly respected General Philipe Petain. Countless US and German soldiers have already tragically and sadly been killed in combat and Many more are horribly wounded. These once-beautiful Beaches where children used to play have now been covered in blood and guts, it’s Incredible. How many have died and how many more will die due to Loservelt’s failed Foreign Policies that caused this horrible day in history?
Roosevelt’s invasion bloodbath has completely destroyed this beautiful beach.
This never would have happened if Herbert Hoover was still in Office. We had four years of no wars, world peace, and Americans could go to the store and buy whatever they wanted without this economy-destroying “rationing” system. All those sailors who were blown to bits when the Japanese attacked our big, beautiful war boats at Pearl Harbor are probably looking down and crying at what has happened since then, seeing Republicans in Congress not subpoenaing the DeLoservelt Administration for letting them die and just voting to declare this horrible war and this failed country that is fighting it. Hoover would have been so much tougher and stronger and would have negotiated a peace after the Attack so our troops could stay home with their wonderful families.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign have hired “RINO” former Congressman Adam Kinzinger’s former chief of staff Austin Weatherford “to head up outreach efforts to independents and moderate Republicans who know what a danger Donald Trump is to the country if reelected for a second term,” a Biden official tells Reuters about a hopefully smart pickup for outreach to reliable voters.
