Russian asset and complete piece of shit Julian Assange is in plea deal talks with federal prosecutors to plea guilty to the crimes he’s facing extradition for, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The right is up against ascendant cultural marxism and they are spending the day complaining in the House that Biden isn't held to the same standard as Trump

This isn't how to beat the communists

This ain't it at all

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday announced a Texas charter bus company – one of 17 defendants in a $700 million lawsuit brought by Adams against Governor Greg Abbott’s human trafficking operation to the city – has agreed to pull out of its contract, WNYW reports.

“New York City continues to do our part as we lead the nation in managing this national humanitarian crisis, but reckless political games from the state of Texas will not be tolerated. I am pleased to see that Roadrunner – one of the bus companies we sued for taking part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants to our city in an attempt to overwhelm our shelter system and shift costs to New York City – has agreed to halt the bussing of migrants into and around New York City while the lawsuit proceeds,” said Adams in a statement.

“Pasco Sheriff’s Office arrested an individual employed by Beacon Christian Academy, located on Star Trail in New Port Richey today. Steven Houser, 67, was arrested for possession of child pornography. After receiving a tip, the Pasco Sheriff’s Office began an investigation which determined that Houser, a third grade science teacher at the school, possessed two photos and three videos featuring child pornography. The child pornography did not feature any students at the school. In addition, Houser also possessed child erotica generated by an AI computer program which Houser admitted he used the yearbook photos of three students to generate. Houser resides in New Port Richey. There are no reports of additional victims at this time,” says a press release from the Pasco County Sheriff’s office. And yes, Houser is a registered Republican. We checked.

HOLY FUCK! NBC News reports that Bryan Malinowski, executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, was shot during an early Tuesday morning gun battle with ATF agents attempting to execute a search warrant at his home as part of an investigation. Malinowski was arrested and then taken to a hospital with non-life threatening wounds.

It’s not clear what if any connection Malinowski has to Bill and Hillary Clinton themselves. It’s probably just that he runs an airport named after them. BUT THEIR NAMES ARE IN THIS ARTICLE AND IT WAS A FEDERAL SEARCH WARRANT! NBC SAID THERE WAS A SHIT TON OF GUNS AND AMMO AT HIS HOME! THERE’S A CONNECTION HERE TO THE CLINTON CRIME FAMILY SOMEHOW!

“As Donald Trump faces a Monday deadline to post a $454 million bond in the civil fraud case against him in New York, insiders said he may be weighing a little-discussed option: Do nothing. The ex-president reportedly has been struggling to raise the cash for the bond — either from banks or wealthy friends — with his lawyers claiming on Monday that it was a ‘practical impossibility.’ While some reports have raised speculation that Trump may ‘go nuclear’ with a Chapter 11 filing to protect his prize real estate assets across Manhattan, experts said bankruptcy would create unwelcome complications as the 2024 election season comes to a head,” the New York Post reports and we copied that verbatim to underscore the “trial balloon”-ing and “normalization” of this laundered Trump press release to a readership that is extremely pro-MAGA, even among Murdoch outlets.

If there’s any other conclusion we should draw from that we’re all ears. “Even if there is a taking, it doesn’t mean he can’t take it back later,” a source, quite possibly the fat bastard himself, told the Post without contemplating that the AG’s office would sell the Tower and Trump would have to “take it back” from whoever ends up buying it from the state of New York. Meaning he’ll have to pay for it.

Six months and eight days after weak and feckless then-Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy unilaterally announced he was opening an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden in a desperate attempt to save his speakership – which didn’t work anyway and now he’s not even in Congress let alone in charge anymore, lol – the effort faces its all but certain public finale Wednesday as one of the GOP’s witnesses is literally testifying remotely from fucking federal prison.

So much to say but so little words to properly articulate the scale of this failure and the unspeakable incompetence of its chief architect, James Comer and the ease with which Democrats like Jamie Raskin have just abused and tormented him and his allies at every turn.

Far right Ohioans are probably going to lose their shit in about 13 minutes as the state will be testing every one of its tornado sirens simultaneously at 9:50 AM EDT, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Of course regular Ohioans not aware of the test will also get unnecessarily frightened, plus there’s a chance that by some freak occurrence – or maybe not that freak as three people were killed when several towns were hit with an EF3 just last week – an actual tornado could suddenly form and endanger those who think the sirens are simply being tested. But the best reactions will be from the “Jade Helm” crowd who will quickly run to grab their guns, suit up in their “1488” patch-covered body armor they bought from a company that advertises on the Post Millennial, and speed toward the source of the sound to confront the shadowy forces of FEMA, George Soros, and the Illuminati.

The NRSC and its chair Senator Steve Daines on Tuesday filed an amicus brief in US v Trump which warned that last month’s appellate ruling denying the fat fuck’s immunity claim’s “will not be as limited as the DC Circuit thinks. The panel assures readers that its holding will not set the country on a slippery slope towards the complete criminalization of political differences because Trump is the first former President to be prosecuted but fails to consider the obvious response: No prosecutor has ever tried this type of case before because no court has previously said that they could, and prosecutors typically exercise restraint in uncharted waters. The DC Circuit opinion is akin to a loaded gun lying on the table that future prosecutors can now wield against Presidents (and former Presidents) of all political persuasions. The DC Circuit seems to believe that partisan actors will be able to resist the temptation to use that weapon against their political enemies; anyone who pays the slightest attention to American politics knows better.”

“Why are we always shooting ourselves in the foot? We love to lose. This is ridiculous! Every high-profile Republican WANTED Scott working for us! This makes NO SENSE!” said the second part of the text in the tweet that’s partially cut off in the embed. It’s still not clear what happened behind the scenes and who might’ve vetoed Lara Trump’s plan to hire the Craigslist guy.

House Oversight Ranking Member Jamie Raskin on Wednesday sent Punchbowl News a memo outlining the only two witnesses that Republican Chairbilly James Comer was able to land for his big hearing pretending that the Biden impeachment inquiry is still going on later this morning:

“Tony Bobulinski, who sued his cancer stricken father, first made his allegations against the Bidens at a 2020 press conference orchestrated by the Trump campaign hours before Bobulinski appeared at the presidential debate as Donald Trump’s guest, even wearing a dress shirt purchased for him by the Trump campaign as he first aired his claims.”

“Jason Galanis, who was labeled a ‘con man’ by the federal judge who sentenced him to fifteen years in prison for defrauding a Native American tribe and pension funds (among other fraud schemes), first publicly made his claims about the Bidens in a petition for commutation of his prison sentence to Trump’s Department of Justice and now has Chairman Comer and Rep Biggs writing to the Justice Department and Bureau of Prisons to secure his release from prison.”

“Both Bobulinski and Galanis sought to do business with Hunter Biden because they wanted to use the Biden name to advance their own business interests. Neither Bobulinski nor Galanis’s business ventures with Hunter Biden ever even made it off the ground.”

Raskin left out Bobulinski’s ties to sanctioned Russian oligarch Viktor Vekselberg, of which the Daily Beast on Wednesday obtained some new text messages further revealing its depth. But we feel pretty confident that it’ll come up during one Dem or another’s questioning of the asshole.

The press release of a concession speech that Republican Ohio 2nd District primary candidate Derek Myers sent out on Tuesday afternoon hours before polls closed actually completely nailed it as the results of the race show that Myers came in 11th place out of 11 candidates.

A three-judge panel from the conservative Fifth Circuit has issued a hold on the Texas “Show Me Your Papers”-ish law that the Supreme Court earlier today allowed to be enforced, CNN reports.

In a 2-to-1 vote, the panel nullified an earlier ruling from a different panel that allowed SB4 to go into effect.  The panel will hear arguments on the law on Wednesday.  The one dissenting vote was Trump appointee Andrew Oldham.

“We have the right candidate.  This is our time to stand up for what America is today, not this utopian American dream that is our nightmare,” Republican South Carolina Senator and guy who thought that sounded way better in his head Tim Scott declares, confirming that Republicans believe the American dream is dead.

Starting at around 10:20 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Donald Trump’s next failed venture Truth Social went offline, preventing access to accounts and posts, obviously to prevent Trump from posting even more embarrassing statements that would ruin his effort to escape justice.

More than two-thirds of the children in Chicago under the age of six years old have been exposed to lead-tainted water, according to a new study, and unshockingly, the highest rates of contamination were found in primarily Black and Hispanic neighborhoods, CBS News reports.

According to the study published in JAMA Pediatrics, about 1 in 5 of 129,000 children who drank lead-tainted water got their drinking water from unfiltered sources, but the study also shows filtering water either at the source or through a consumer-style filter does not get all lead out of the water.  The study looked at more than 38,000 households from 2016 through September 2023.

The government of Mexico made it very clear that it will no accept any migrants expelled under the new law allowed to take effect by the Supreme Court that permits the state government of Mexico to make immigration determinations and force people out of the US.  Fewer than half of the people crossing the southern border come from Mexico, and expelling them to Mexico would require Mexico to either house them or transport them to their home nations.

“As stated since the law was debated in the Texas legislature last year, Mexico categorically rejects any measure that allows state or local authorities to exercise immigration control, and to arrest and return nationals or foreigners to Mexican territory,” the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement, adding “Mexico reiterates its legitimate right to protect the rights of its nationals in the United States and to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory.

“Mexico recognizes the importance of a uniform migration policy and the bilateral efforts with the United States to ensure that migration is safe, orderly and respectful of human rights, and is not affected by state or local legislative decisions. In this regard, Mexico will not accept, under any circumstances, repatriations by the State of Texas.”

Trump-endorsed car dealer Bernie Moreno will face incumbent Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown in November after Moreno beat of competition from two other Republicans to take the primary, the Associated Press reports.

A one-time advertiser for male companionship, Moreno has a checkered past in Ohio, although it’s one that would endear him to Republican voters.  Moreno at first believed the outcome of the 2020 election before becoming an election denier.  As a businessman, he’s been investigated for wage theft on a number of occasions, paying at least $400,000 to resolve lawsuits.  And he financially backed a “Donald Daters” Trump hook-up app his daughter founded which had a data breach on its first day of operation that exposed the personal information and text messages of 1,600 users.

“Republicans should boycott ABC News until Stephanopoulos is held accountable. I’m glad Trump is suing ABC News and I hope he sues them for every single penny. Maybe 454 million dollars sounds about right,” said South Carolina Congressidiot Nancy Mce, still fuming over this month’s train wreck interview with the former Clintonite Stephanopoulos. If Mace wasn’t stupid she would maybe understand that ABC News is owned by Disney, who considers a $454 million box office total a dud.
