Semi-regular GOP mouthpiece Axios reports that ghoulish white nationalist Stephen Miller was behind the batshit stupid claim that murder victim Alex Pretti was intent on “massacring” Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, with sources telling the bullet-point factory that “Stephen heard ‘gun’ and knew what the narrative would be: Pretti came to ‘massacre’ cops,” and ordered DHS to run it just over two hours after the shooting, causing chaos and infighting on Team Orange.

“Others within the White House attempted to clean up the DHS statement prior to it being sent but it had already been disseminated,” another source said and it’s hard to tell exactly whose agenda this piece serves… It’s definitely someone‘s. It’s not Kristi Noem because it says “Noem has complained to others that she feels she’s being hung out to dry over the episode and has made sure to emphasize she took direction from Miller and the president” and also mentions how she stupidly lied and claimed Pretti had been “brandishing” the pistol that he’d had holstered until he was killed.

Then there’s that Miller was shut out of a two-hour meeting between Trump, Noem, and her sidepiece Corey Lewandowski. The one person Axios paints as most “adult in the room,” and not that he was ever the target of a $50,000 FBI bribery sting operation is “border czar” Tom Homan.

So yeah, most likely some Homanosexual at Axios wrote this and printed it at his behest.

“I’m hearing that the Great Country of Iraq might make a very bad choice by reinstalling Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister. Last time Maliki was in power, the Country descended into poverty and total chaos. That should not be allowed to happen again. Because of his insane policies and ideologies, if elected, the United States of America will no longer help Iraq and, if we are not there to help, Iraq has ZERO chance of Success, Prosperity, or Freedom” posted convicted felon President Trump on Tuesday. Wonder how close he came to ordering them not to elect Saddam Hussein again.

The Texas chapter of the national Young Republicans on Tuesday issued an open letter to convicted felon President Trump, writing “In 2024, American voters overwhelmingly elected you with a popular mandate: mass deportations. For decades, our country has been swarmed by illegal aliens who have brought crime and fraud to our cities and towns. Ten million new illegals were ushered in by cartel smugglers during the Biden Administration alone, bringing the crisis to a boiling point.”

“The story about industrial scale fraud by Somali immigrants in Minnesota, with the complicity of Governor Walz, only scratches the surface of the hundreds of billions of dollars being stolen from Americans by criminal aliens. We knew from the beginning that historic mass deportations would be a major effort, and that the Left would fight back viciously against this existential threat to their fraud and human trafficking institutions. Dangerous street thugs are now collaborating with the globalist media conglomerates to turn public opinion against the interior enforcement agenda that the majority of Americans elected you to execute. The Mayor of Minneapolis has ordered the police to stand down as Antifa terrorists riot and assault DHS officers investigating fraud,” they continued and honestly it’s impossible to tell whether they’re lying or they actually believe that shit that DHS in on the ground in Minnesota “investigate fraud.” They really might truly be that fucking deluded.

“Our message to you, Mr President: do not back down,” and blah blah blah, skipping a few sentences of their fascist fapping… “Mr President, we applaud you and your administration for taking the bold steps necessary to restore our great nation and bring us the justice we so badly need.”

You will not be surprised to learn that, per MS Now, convicted felon President Trump’s Justice Department will not open a civil rights investigation into the murder of Minnesota nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, instead leaving it to the CBP’s internal affairs and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division to cover up not even pretend to seek accountability.

“Hi Brad. I am sending you a post on socials regarding the trump walz conversation, this has been approved by staff. Will be using the picture attached and caption for all three platforms.”

“Thank you, President Trump and Gov Walz. I am pleased to see these recent developments. The only way to a resolution is through productive conversations. Public safety shouldn’t be partisan, and cooperation is how we deliver real results for our communities. Real leadership means putting law and order above politics,” says the first version of Republican Minnesota Congressman Brad Finstad’s Monday Facebook post applauding and sharing a screenshot convicted felon President Trump’s Truth Social post from hours earlier in which someone, probably not Trump himself, had wrote “Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength,” and blah blah blah.

Within three minutes one of Finstad’s staffers removed the “Hi Brad” part. But since Facebook allows you to see the edit history (click on the three dots in the upper right-hand corner) maybe they should’ve just deleted it and started a fresh one without the goddamned instructions from the White House or whoever told “Finstad” to paste in the “approved” talking point on the Walz Trump call.

NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy on Tuesday kicked off a daylong public meeting on the conclusions from the agency’s investigation into the tragic January 29, 2025 collision of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and American Eagle Flight 5342 that took 67 lives, Politico reports. Completely absent from their story is anything about the “DEI policies” left over from the Biden Administration that the MAGA propaganda-industrial complex immediately assigned blame to, minus evidence.

“Today, you will hear how deep, underlying, systemic failures – system flaws – aligned to create the conditions that led to this devastating tragedy,” Homendy said in her opening remarks that were long on technical vagaries about the intense, low-error-margin choreography of congested urban flightpaths and short on absolute fucking nonsense like the “problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The Obama Administration implemented a biographical questionnaire at the FAA to shift the hiring focus away from objective aptitude. During my first term, my Administration raised standards to achieve the highest standards of safety and excellence. But the Biden Administration egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all executive departments and agencies to implement dangerous ‘diversity equity and inclusion’ tactics, and specifically recruiting individuals with ‘severe intellectual’ disabilities in the FAA,” that convicted felon President Trump ranted about in an executive order is team cooked up less than 24 hours after the tragedy.

The omissions from Homedy’s remarks raise the possibility she will not be fired for failing to so much as even nod at the DEI circlejerk because the goldfish brains of MAGAmerica had already forgotten about the plane crash by like the second week of February anyway so who gives a shit anymore.

The whistles should be banned. https://t.co/sX01E6KDp3

In their monthly report headlined “Confidence collapsed to lowest point since 2014, surpassing pandemic depths” the Conference Board writes that “Consumer Confidence Index® fell by 9.7 points in January to 84.5 (1985=100), from an upwardly revised 94.2 in December. A 5.1-point upward revision to December’s reading of the Index resulted in a slight increase last month, reversing the initially reported decline. However, January’s preliminary results showed confidence resumed declining after a one-month uptick. The Present Situation Index – based on consumers’ assessment of current business and labor market conditions – dropped by 9.9 points to 113.7 in January.”

“The Expectations Index – based on consumers’ short-term outlook for income, business, and labor market conditions – fell by 9.5 points to 65.1, well below the threshold of 80 that usually signals a recession ahead. The cutoff for preliminary results was January 16, 2026,” the report continued.

Something something fake biased, open an investigation, somebody’s wife’s brother used to work for a PAC that supported Adam Schiff’s 2024 Senate campaign, it’s all garbage anyway because this Trafalgar poll says only 23 percent of Americans approve of Jerome Powell, and Ilhan Omar is in big trouble because she’s connected to the $29 billion Somali fraud scheme in Minnesota.

Republican Florida Congressman Vern Buchanan on Tuesday became the 22nd House Republican of the 2026 cycle to ditch Washington by resigning, retiring, or running for governor/attorney general back in their home state, a bit short of the 28 who had already tapped out as of January 27, 2018.

Another eight Republicans are running for Senate rather than reelection to their seats but the running count excludes those since they’re obviously intent on staying in DC. Still if you want to get in the weeds you can add one since Georgia Congressman Mike Collins threw in to the Peach State’s Senate GOP primary two months after delegation-mate Buddy Carter did. And maybe a 24th exit in Texan Wesley Hunt since there’s essentially no freaking way he’s winning that primary.

Visa overstayer First Lady Melania “I really don’t care, Do U?” Trump had to suffer though about 58 seconds of “unity” pablum on Tuesday before getting to what she thinks really matters to the American people: Her sex-pest-directed “documentary” that cost Amazon like $75 million to produce and market whose Saturday night premiere was marred by ICE’s brutality in Minneapolis.

In a failure by their fact-checking team, the Detroit Free Press on Monday reported that former auto industry executive/business consultant Perry Johnson had launched his second bid for the governor’s mansion in the Great Lakes State. Everything else about the story was correct, but they fucked up on the ordinal aspect of it as Johnson’s alleged first campaign in 2022 technically never actually happened because he – along with four other hopefuls in the ten-candidate GOP primary field that year – was disqualified when the canvassing firms they used for gathering their ballot access petition signatures turned out to have submitted thousands of falsified names.

So really it’s Johnson’s first governor campaign, and one in which the pitch is “We can deliver better services at lower cost by running state government with the same efficiency, accountability, and a results-driven mindset we used to help save the auto industry and businesses across the country.”

Sounds great, especially when you ignore the fact that Johnson pissed away $27 million of his own money on that nascent pre-campaign, all of it gone because he couldn’t be bothered to apply anything resembling efficiency, accountability, or a results-driven mindset to his political ambitions.

In a guest op-ed printed by the New York Times on Tuesday morning, “moderate” Republican New York Congressman Mike Lawler writes “The deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this month were tragic and preventable. No matter where you stand on immigration enforcement, the shootings show that what the country has been doing is not working,” in the opening paragraph.

“The loudest voices on each extreme have retreated to their usual corners. They have an interest in keeping our immigration problems unsolved and politically divisive. Everyone else must see that Congress and the president need to embrace a new comprehensive national immigration policy that acknowledges Americans’ many legitimate concerns about how the government has conducted immigration policy,” Lawler continued in the second paragraph and again it’s worth noting that his Orange Allah purposely bricked the previous administration’s attempts at bolstering border security.

Lawler’s third paragraph: “That starts with reviewing how we got here. During President Joe Biden’s term, lenient border policies and foolish state and local laws offering shelter and benefits to illegal immigrants resulted in millions of migrants entering the United States, overwhelming our cities, our legal and public education systems, and our social safety net,” and THERE IT IS. The freaking worm who as a teenager got kicked out of the courtroom during Michael Jackson’s 2005 child molestation trial for audibly cursing at the mother of Jacko’s cancer-stricken accuser is pointing the finger at Amtrak Joe for Trump’s DHS agents summarily executing two American citizens in broad daylight.

.@POTUS @realDonaldTrump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire @Sec_Noem.

Americans have died.

She is betraying DHS’s core mission and trashing your border security legacy.

DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary.

Milan, Italy Mayor Giuseppe Sala on Tuesday was not pleased to learn that convicted felon President Trump’s regime is sending ICE agents to support “diplomatic security operations” on the ground in his city during next month’s Winter Olympics, telling the Associated Press that “This is a militia that kills, a militia that enters into the homes of people, signing their own permission slips.”

“It is clear they are not welcome in Milan, without a doubt,” Sala continued. Unmentioned but possibly implied is that his city was where in 1945 deposed dictator Benito Mussolini’s corpse was strung upside down from a gas station canopy and his face punched repeatedly until it looked like a day one IHOP kitchen line cook trainee’s first attempt at a short stack of strawberry pancakes.

Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said he had not had any confirmation of the deployment, but also didn’t “see what the problem would be,” thus confirming Piantedosi is a fucking idiot. If this were Budapest or Doha or Buenos Aires then no, there probably wouldn’t be much of a problem.

Milan is not Budapest or Doha or Buenos Aires and as mentioned is where Mussolini’s corpse was desecrated so yeah it might actually be a problem. Not a lethal problem but a problem nonetheless for really any American government security personnel on the ground now that locals are under the impression that ICE will be protecting US olympians and VIP spectators. Freaking dumbasses.

An “administration adviser” tells Axios that the Trump Regime’s drawdown in Minneapolis cannot be seen by the media and voters as a total capitulation and needs to be stage-managed to still look like mission accomplished. “We can’t lose Minneapolis because if we do, we lose Chicago and Los Angeles,” the anonymous asshole said, adding “We’re not going to let the people who lost the presidential election over immigration dictate to us on immigration,” referring to Democrats.

Christ, what an entitled cunt. Who was it two years ago this month that commanded Senate Republicans to vote no on a border security package so he could continue to campaign on immigration? Might it have been the guy who lost the last presidential election before that?

And yet Greg Bovino’s not only out, he’s been cut off from shitposting on social media before he can even officially retire, per CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, which would not seem to be the kind of thing the regime would want to do on its own. Another source said the mistake was detailing Bovino and the CBP to what’s supposed to be ICE’s remit, since Border Patrol agents “train differently” than ICE stormtroopers. “They’re being deployed to the interior when they’re used to dealing with single adult, military age males that could be cartel members or Chinese terrorists,” the source told Axios, ignoring that Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent under essentially the same circumstances as Alex Pretti was killed by a Border Patrol officer. That of course on top of the Fox News Saturday morning cartoon bullshit about “cartel members or Chinese terrorists or Chinese terrorists.”

“He’s a cowboy, and it was a mess. It was only escalation, and no one was going to back down,” another source said of Bovino, adding “[FBI bribery sting operation target Tom] Homan going is a good thing. Someone needed to step in,” literally under the notion that the guy who took $50,000 cash in a Cava bag is an improvement over the tiny bastard who wears a Nazi SS-style jacket.

Former Army Lt Colonel Alex Vindman, the Ukrainian-born whistleblower who exposed convicted felon President Trump’s deranged attempt to coerce President Volodymyr Zelensky into interfering in the 2020 election, announced on Tuesday he’s running for the Dem nomination to challenge creepy Florida Senator Ashley Moody in the November midterms. Vindman’s twin brother Yevgeny “Eugene” Vindman, also canned by Trump after the impeachment trial, already serves as a Congressman in Virginia’s 7th. Moody in all likelihood probably still wins this but Vindman’s no dumbass and will give her considerably harder of a fight than some peanut like Charlie Crist.

A new national survey by Reuters/Ipsos finds convicted felon President Trump’s overall job approval rating sinking to 38 percent, from 41 percent in their previous test and matching his second term low. A majority – 58 percent of respondents – also say “ICE has gone too far” with their fascist shit.

Separately, an Echelon Insights national survey finds Dems leading Republicans 49 to 44 percent on the generic congressional ballot, which in itself is not that large of a gap nor is it that far off from where other pollster are at on that number these days. Worth noting about it however is the shift in independent voters’ responses over just the last month: In December Dems led Republicans 47 to 34 percent among indies, in January that lead doubled and Dems are up 49 to 23 percent.

Also notable: In February 2025 Trump’s job rating among indies was 51 to 45 approve/disapprove, he’s now at 26 percent approve to 69 percent dis, a 51 percent net swing in 11 months. Impressive.
