Remember when Trump got so pissed off at Canada because Ontario ran a (totally factual) anti-tariff ad, including during the World Series? Trump responded by tweet, as always and cancelled all trade negotiations with Canada. 2 days later he declared another 10% tariff on top of

It seems to me that every one of the 8 “wars” that Steve Witkoff supposedly “solved” for Trump is either still going strong, was never a war in the first place or that the US had nothing to do with. More like Steve Dumbkoff.

Sen Bill Cassidy (R), a former practicing physician who cast the deciding vote to confirm RFK Jr, refuses to admit that RFK Jr lied at his confirmation hearing. RFK Jr lied directly to Cassidy about supporting vaccines, promising to leave the CDC Vaccination Advisory Committee

Texas Gov Greg Abbott asked for emergency relief from SCOTUS that immediately made it to their “Shadow Docket”. Alito took it up and paused a lower court’s order that Texas’ mid-decade redistricting is illegal. There was no hearing, no explanation and no other Justices involved.

Avi Loeb, esteemed Harvard astrophysicist, has been claiming that extrasolar comets/asteroids might be alien spacecraft. Although “I want to believe”, so far not so much. But what if…?

Holy shit!! This was totally unexpected. There must be something under wraps that precipitated this. Her recent break with Trump and his nasty response certainly was a major factor. But I cannot see her endgame. And I’m sure there is one.
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announces she is resigning from Congress. Her last day in office will be January 5, 2026.

Trump’s new 28 point proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war seems to be a non-starter. Basically, Witkoff, Trump and others want Ukraine to 1) cede to Russia all of Donbas, including land that is currently held by Ukraine, 2) reduce the size of its military (so that they can

If the Clintons must respond to subpoenas to testify in front of Congress regarding the Epstein case, Trump should certainly be forced to testify under oath.

Trump’s genius plan to end the war in Ukraine: give Russia the entire Donbas. Fuck you very much. Happy Thanksgiving.

For evidence of Donald Trump’s cognitive abilities look at these direct quotes. After being asked why he had an MRI at his visit last week to Walter Reed, just 6 months after his 2025 yearly checkup, he responded, "Because it's part of my physical. Getting an MRI is very

So Trump finally signed off on mid-afternoon today, Nov. 20. Then Spam Blondie revealed that it would take 30 days to prepare (??!!) the files for release. And that she would “follow the law” and delete, redact or just not release any data that might be relevant to any of the

Many MAGAts are awesomely stupid. Laura Loomer takes that to a remarkable level. Arabic numerals are what we have been using in the western world since, I don’t know, 400 CE. You know things are bad when Trump, himself acknowledged as the most ignorant President in US history,

The CDC, under the control of RFK Jr has changed its website again. Concerning vaccines and autism the web site now claims: “The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause

In early January 2021, Mike Pence was viewed by most Democrats as just another Trump sycophant, enormously disliked by liberals. But on January 6th, with the Capitol rioters smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol and screaming “Hang Mike Pence”, Pence did the most patriotic

It’s striking to see GW Bush, Barbara, Joe Biden and Jill and Kamala Harris and Mike Pence sitting in a row together at Dick Chaney’s funeral (the Trump’s were totally snubbed and not invited). But the person that draws one’s attention is Biden. He is stiff as a board, and all

Every second that passes without Trump signing off on the bill to release the Epstein files only magnifies Trump’s clear fear of full disclosure. There must be some really bad shit in there.

Of all Trump’s Cabinet Secretaries, all except for Sec State Rubio and AG Bondi are uniquely UNQUALIFIED for their posts. Hegseth and RFK Jr are arguably the worst. Their fuckups are already legendary. I’m reserving judgement on Rubio. But Bondi’s tenure has been marked by
