The leader of Iran apologizes to Pope Leo for President Trump's blasphemy.

Once again, a quick post here led to an hour of writing it up as a full piece at CAMPAIGN TRAILS.

Here it is:

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Trump’s war on windmills started in Scotland. Now he’s taking it global President’s opposition to offshore wind more than a decade ago now threatens a huge industry in the US and beyond

As Colbert eloquently said...

Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

Trump's crypto venture is fleecing his supporters.

80% of the new or small-time crypto investors in Trump’s coin have been hit with big losses.

Meanwhile, his team is making millions off the coin’s trading fees, which stay stable even when its value goes down.

It’s a grift.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Elon vs Empathy YouTube video by danasinspired

👉 Elon’s coming for empathy…

Okay... I've just read that it's $368 Billion over 30 years.
That's still about $12 Billion a year...

So... Questions really need to be asked WHY we've given a US shipyard $360 BILLION to stay open - not for actually paying for the submarines...

Trump pick for Pentagon says selling submarines to Australia would be ‘crazy’ if Taiwan tensions flare Nominee for undersecretary for defense policy says Aukus deal to deliver Virginia class submarines could leave US sailors ‘vulnerable’

Another American Regime rip-off.
Thank you Scomo. 🤬
Stop AUKUS!

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

3x3 grid. Positions 1-3 across the top labeled Lawful, Neutral, Chaotic. Positions 1-3 down the left side labeled Good, Neutral, Evil. US gov department logos and the email guidance they gave are plotted in this grid. DOJ: Lawful Good, “Don’t reply. Our work is confidential and sensitive.” HHS: Lawful Neutral, “Reply is optional. Expect it to be read by malign foreign adversaries.” IRS: Lawful Evil, “You must reply, unless you’re on leave.” DOD: Neutral Good, “Don’t reply. We review our own performance.” USDA: Neutral Neutral, “Reply or don’t. Nothing will happen. There are no consequences.” DOT: Neutral Evil, “You must replay. Here’s an example reply with sensitive information in it.” HUD: Chaotic Good, “Idk but here is a video of Trump sucking Elon’s toes.” Department of commernce: Chaotic neutral, “Reply, but send it to your boss only, no OPM.” Department of interior: Chaotic evil, “You must reply. We will evaluate non-responses. Also, we’ll be doing this every week from here on.”

Are you one of the many federal employees wondering what the hell is going on with those stupid bullet point emails? Well don’t worry. We’ve got all the guidance you could possibly need right here.

Elon Musk has shut down a team of tech-savvy civil servants responsible for developing the IRS’s free tax-filing service and improving government websites. As a result, 90 employees were immediately locked out of their devices and informed that their jobs were deemed non-essential.

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

We are heartened by this call to action in Nature, one of the most respected journals in science. It urges the global scientific community to speak out on behalf of those being censored and support research as the US government shifts away from its historic leadership

RFK’s “crunchy moms”… YouTube video by danasinspired

👉 The crunchy moms who are thrilled with RFK jr. have no receipts.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing.

This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it.

No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

It has been an amazing series...

The armed individual who blocked senators from entering federal property bears the insignia of "Triple Canopy", which merged with Blackwater in 2014.

This is a mercenary paramilitary guard for Musk and his minions. *Anyone wearing this insignia should be considered extremely dangerous.*
