Polls the life sustaining info that pundits live and die by….I personally do not believe half the polls I read (I know I quote them from time to time but I also make it known that I think they are nothing more than a snapshot of the day they are taken).
That brings me to the recent election in Wisconsin where progressive Hong takes on Crowley and since Hong was leading by 20 points it was a major upset when she lost….but was it?
A poll of Los Angeles voters released last week found Mayor Karen Bass leading Councilmember Nithya Raman by a wide and growing margin. Days earlier, a poll of Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary showed democratic socialist Francesca Hong walloping Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley by more than 20 percentage points.
There were problems with both.
Crowley went on to comfortably defeat Hong in Wisconsin’s primary. And other polling of the Los Angeles race has shown a much tighter contest between Bass and Raman.
This wasn’t just another case of polling getting it wrong. These polls were fake. So was the polling company.
In response to inquiries from the Los Angeles Times, Median Strategies said it was all a test.
“Median Strategies was created as a short term social experiment to examine how purported polling information could enter and spread through the political information ecosystem without independent verification,” the company said in an email to the Times. “We are not seeking publicity or attribution for the individuals involved and are declining interviews.”
The experiment worked, at least to some extent. The California Post reported on the Los Angeles poll, declaring in a now-deleted headline that voters who had supported reality TV star Spencer Pratt in the primary could decide the election for Bass. Her campaign celebrated the results on social media before later deleting the post.
I have not been the kindest of critics of SCOTUS and that has not changed I still think they are nothing more than political hacks.
I did read an article that I found interesting if it is accurate….
…
The court’s action, although temporary, raised the deepest concern about the intentions of Chief Justice John Roberts and the “conservative” bloc (whose version of conservatism no longer extends to upholding legal precedents or constitutional norms).
Americans rightly worry that the court will allow or even encourage President Donald Trump to deny voting rights, intimidate voters, and tamper with balloting, if only because the court majority has so relentlessly expanded his authority and exempted him from ordinary oversight.
In one decision after another, they have awarded him the powers and immunities of a monarch in a casual manner that would have made the founders retch.
Indeed, the majority has consistently lent its authority and reputation to his dictatorial ambitions, while increasing the power of the wealthy in politics and diminishing or eliminating the protections afforded to society’s least powerful groups. Making many of these bad decisions worse is the justices’ recent habit of issuing important rulings on the “shadow docket,” unsigned and unexplained, which undermines their integrity and shields them from criticism. It is hard to know how to evaluate a decision when no logic or law is offered to undergird its validity.
It would not be unlike the Roberts right-wingers to upend this election with a shadow docket ruling, a cowardly maneuver they have adopted in more than two dozen cases since Trump returned to the White House — and ruled in his favor in more than three out of four.
Roberts has seemingly been doing Donny’s work for him in recent rulings and some think that could bite them in the ass come midterm elections….if that is true then could Roberts’ recent dissenting opinion be a false flag to make them look more neutral?
Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the court’s liberals on Monday in a dispute over the planned White House ballroom, warning that his colleagues’ ruling threatens Congress’ control of federal spending. In a six-page dissent, Roberts said the $400 million project is “likely unlawful” because lawmakers never explicitly signed off on funding, reports the Hill, and he rejected the Trump administration’s claim that the work qualifies as routine White House upkeep. The dissent marks a rare break for Roberts from Trump’s claims to executive power, notes CNN, with the chief justice borrowing a line from Winston Churchill: “‘We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us’,” adding, “All the more reason to ensure that those responsible follow the rules in deciding what to tear down and what to build up at the People’s House.”
The 5-4 majority didn’t decide whether the ballroom itself is legal. Instead, it ruled that a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation lacked standing to sue, saying her objections amounted to a simple dislike of the project. That cleared the way for above-ground construction to resume on what the administration now calls a national security upgrade. Roberts countered that the plaintiff’s long involvement in historic preservation and her interest in the White House as it currently stands make her injury concrete enough to get into court. “The White House is not just any building,” he wrote, and the decision is “no victory for the separation of powers.”
I realize this is just a minor thing but it comes when they are most worried about the midterms….so is this just a game for popularity (or as close to it as they could come in this short time)?
After many years of fabricated stories about Iran on a wide array of BS Israel finally found an idiot in the White House that was stupid enough to do everything BiBi wanted….go to war with Iran.
And now he boasts of that achievement….
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has boasted of his efforts to convince the US to launch a war against Iran, crediting his frequent appearances on US television networks and his “intimate knowledge” of US leaders.
Netanyahu made the comments Sunday night on Israel’s Channel 14, and a clip of his appearance was posted on X by the account Clash Report, which Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later shared.
The Israeli leader said that he had been against Iran for “nearly 40 years” and that it took him a long time to get the Israeli security establishment and the US on board.
“It took a long time to bring the US in,” he said, according to Channel 14. “I was able to do this because I had close to a thousand hours on American television, influence in the United States, and intimate knowledge of all its leaders – both those who support us and those who do not.”
The New York Timesreported in April that 17 days before the US and Israel launched the war on February 28, Netanyahu presented President Trump with an intelligence briefing at the White House and made a “hard sell” for the war. The report said that Netanyahu had been “pressing for months” for the US to agree to a major attack on the Islamic Republic.
Sources told the Times that during the briefing, Netanyahu made a series of predictions about the potential war that proved to be wrong, including the idea that Iran was ripe for regime change, that its ballistic missile program could be destroyed within weeks, that it would be too weak to close the Strait of Hormuz, and that Iran’s missile strikes on US interests in regional countries would be minimal.
Responding to Netanyahu’s comments about his influence on the US, Aragchi said that the Israeli leader was openly bragging about how he “suckered” the US into the war.
“In Hebrew, Netanyahu openly crows that he suckered the US Administration into a war on Iran on behalf of Israel. Netanyahu explicitly laughs about how he ‘influenced’ America through 1,000 hours of airtime on US networks,” the Iranian diplomat wrote on X. “In English, he praises POTUS’
(antiwar.com)
Now that BiBi got his way what has the US accomplished?
Let’s see….soaring gas and food prices, weapons depletion, and a world that is laugh it’s ass off at just how gullible this moron is.
He, Donny and BiBi, will be the death of us all eventually if this charade keeps going.
There is so much confusion around the 2028 election….will Donny try mto break the Constitution? If not who will try to step into the MAGA void no Donny would create?
Would it be the idiot Vance? How about Pistol Pete?
Pete Hegseth is already looking beyond the Pentagon, according to NBC News, which reports that the defense secretary has told confidants he’s weighing a 2028 presidential bid. The outlet notes that Hegseth and his wife, Jennifer, have been mulling the idea for months, seeing him as sharing some of President Trump’s appeal with the MAGA base—especially his combative style and hard-line stance on social issues. His recent trip to the Iowa State Fair to stump for GOP Rep. Zach Nunn has only fueled whispers on the matter. More:
Hegseth response: Officially, Hegseth says he’s not running and is focused on his current job. “His main priority is leading the War Department. All other speculation is foolish,” a Pentagon spokesperson says. Hegseth himself tweeted about it, calling the NBC report “100% false,” adding, “We told NBC that, but they just lie w/anonymous ‘sources.'”
Obstacles: Any run would come with baggage, including the unpopular Iran war Hegseth oversees, a watchdog finding that he mishandled sensitive military information on the Signal app, and criticism from former defense secretaries over his partisan political activity while in office, per NBC.
Public opinion: Perhaps Hegseth is denying NBC’s report because he’s already seen the polls: Newsweek reports that early polling has shown Hegseth to be a “long shot,” citing a CPAC straw poll from March that earned Hegseth just 1%; Vice President JD Vance drew 53%, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio came in with 35% (3% were undecided).
Possible? Salon’s Amanda Marcotte writes, however, that a potential Hegseth run “isn’t a joke,” noting that the defense chief “is the man most closely aligned with white evangelicals, who still make up the majority of GOP primary voters.” “In a field of dull choices like Vance or … Rubio, Hegseth’s over-the-top masculinity act, which reads as clownish to people outside MAGA circles, could be just the thing to push the former Fox News weekend host over the top,” Marcotte writes. NBC adds that Hegseth has become a frequent presence on the campaign trail to rally Trump voters and is a favorite with male Trump voters.
The woman behind the man: The Daily Beast, meanwhile, details how Jennifer Hegseth is working behind the scenes to whip up his “dramatic new power grab.”
Of course he would deny the report….for he must stay in the good graces of Donny and not upstage him….
Here is what some polls show….
The report comes as speculation over the 2028 Republican presidential field continues to grow, with several members of President Donald Trump’s administration already being discussed as potential candidates. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have emerged as two of the most prominent names, while other Republicans—including Donald Trump Jr. and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis—have also been floated as possible contenders.
Not one of those names will instill confidence in the office.
A president Vance would be laughable but a President Pete would be scary from the very beginning.
Are the American people that stupid? Don’t answer that for the answer is obvious.
This post is let anyone who is confronting ICE in their Gestapo-esque tactics that there will be new weapons to be used against those that are protesting their presence and tactic
New toys for ‘sadists’….
First the new ‘shock gloves’….
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is putting millions into a new way to deliver pain, CBS News reports. The agency has approved a $16.7 million, no-bid contract for 6,000 “G.L.O.V.E.” devices—patrol gloves that can be switched into an electric-shock mode and used on people who are “actively or passively resisting,” according to federal documents. At roughly $2,500 each, the gloves are pitched by ICE as a “distraction and de-escalation” tool that could reduce reliance on physical force and firearms.
The six-month contract with Kentucky-based Compliant Technologies comes as ICE faces scrutiny over use-of-force incidents, including two recent fatal shootings during attempted vehicle stops in Maine and Texas. Sixteen Senate Democrats are urging ICE to cancel the deal, citing concerns about safety, oversight, and use during civil immigration arrests. Civil rights advocates have also raised alarms about the gloves, the AP reports. Per the Guardian, shock gloves were allegedly used 27 times against a man in a Kentucky county jail who later died. Homeland Security officials call the criticism an effort to deny officers needed protective gear.
If that was not bad enough ICE now has plans for the use of a robotic ‘war dog’….
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to spend up to $2 million on robot “dogs” to assist its agents’ operations, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding document.
A funding document posted to DHS’s Acquisition Planning Forecast System on Thursday said the agency could spend between $1 million and $2 million on Boston Dynamics’ “Spot” robot and accessories.
A senior DHS official confirmed the plans to NBC News and told the outlet that the robots will not be used to make arrests. The Hill has reached out to ICE for comment.
The technology is already in use by several law enforcement agencies, including the Los Angeles and New York police departments. The U.S. Secret Service also previously used the robotic dogs to secure President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2024.
These robots are equipped with cameras and sensors that can detect vibration, gas and radiation, according to Boston Dynamics.
In my reading I come across some stories that make me scratch my head and laugh…..and this one caught my eye.
The Falkland Islands….this is for those too young to know what the Hell I am talking about….this is a nutshell look….
The Falklands War was a 74-day undeclared conflict in 1982 between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Territorial Dispute: Argentina claimed the islands (which they call Islas Malvinas) based on proximity to South America and a supposed inheritance from the Spanish Crown in the early 19th century. Britain had asserted permanent rule since 1833 and emphasized the right to self-determination of the local population, who wished to remain British.
Political Divert: In late 1981, a military junta led by General Leopoldo Galtieri took power in Argentina amid severe economic unrest and sought to use a popular nationalist campaign to unite the public behind the regime.
Perceived Weakness: Argentina misjudged British resolve, interpreting recent Royal Navy budget cuts and the withdrawal of patrol vessels as a sign that the UK would not fight to defend the remote archipelago.
The Invasion (2–3 April 1982): Argentine forces launched an amphibious invasion of the Falkland Islands, quickly subduing the small local Royal Marine garrison, and followed up by occupying South Georgia. [1, 2]
The Surrender (14 June 1982): British troops fought their way across harsh terrain to retake Port Stanley, forcing the Argentine garrison to surrender and restoring British control.British Task Force Response (5 April 1982): Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s government dispatched a powerful naval task force 8,000 miles south to the combat zone.Military Engagements: Fought across air, land, and sea, the war featured significant losses including the sinking of the Argentine cruiser ARA General Belgrano and the destruction of the British destroyer HMS Sheffield by Exocet missiles.
“I would expect the UK to receive special attention because it has so much potential,” the US official told the publication. “We will therefore continue efforts to incentivise and enable the UK to step up in a major way.”
They said that changing America’s stance on the UK’s claim to the Falklands, which the US president has previously considered, was a possibility.
I use to think that Donny was a loud-mouth with half a functioning brain and now I think his brain is screwed in his ass and the escaping gas makes his mouth move.
Oh that is right he is an author and game shoe host who better to lead the country than that?
This illustrates what an out of touch clown Donny truly is.
Trump noted in a post on Truth Social that farmers and ranchers “have always been a number one priority” for him, adding that he has heard they have had an issue with big processors.
The president wrote, “There are, essentially, 4 of them, a very non competitive number, and they make life miserable for our wonderful Farmers and Ranchers, and I can’t let that happen, can I?”
“So, in order to break this powerful monopoly, with much of its ownership based outside of the U.S., I am authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD. This should move quickly,” he continued.
The critics argue that selling beef at a 25 percent discount puts downward pressure on what domestic ranches are able to charge. Additionally, industry experts say that savings from the move may not reach shoppers because of large packers and retailers getting the margin.
(thehill.com)
First the US just recalled 30K pounds of Argentine beef for improper inspection….what makes us think that the new beef will be any less unsafe?
Second, I am not a farmer or a rancher so my information and knowledge is very limited….but what does this mean? What does process their own food actually mean?
I guess the next question will be just how will that bring down food prices?
Cutting out the ‘middle man’ all that significant?
Please will someone explain this to me and my readers that are not privy to the industry.
To say that I am not too positive about this so-called plan would be an understatement….but if there is a silver lining I would like to know where.
There is a line in an Eagle’s song that says, “call some place paradise and kiss it good-bye’….and that is what is happening with our national parks and that asswad in DC.
First he let a road to be cut through the Big Bend National Park in Texas and now he is considering letting developers ruin Yosemite….
The Trump administration is weighing a land swap that could carve off a slice of Yosemite National Park for a private developer, park advocates say. Under the deal being floated, the federal government would trade a small part of Yosemite for adjacent property owned by Nevada-based Kingsbarn Realty Capital, which has long sought road access and development rights on the park’s western edge. The Interior Department confirmed the idea is under review, the Washington Post reports, but said no decision has been made and denies any secret push to hand over parkland, calling such claims politically driven.
Conservation groups said they’ve independently verified the talks and warn that any resulting project could clear trees and pave the way for luxury construction near one of America’s most visited national parks. Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the area, and California’s Democratic senators have said they oppose developing the road, per the Guardian. “I will fight this,” Huffman said, “both for Yosemite and for every treasured park that would be up for grabs if this domino falls.”
Congress needs to grow a pair and stop this desecration of our national parks.
How long before this fool targets Yellowstone for his buddies and developers? Or The Garden of The Gods or Bryce Canyon, etc.
Everyday this idiot in the White House proves that he cares nothing about this country and it’s natural beauty….and people voted for this asshole….what were they thinking? Never mind….those that did are not capable of rational thought.
The semi-literate plan of Donny’s for the truce in Gaza, the Board of Peace, which is a con job at best….has issued a statement on Israel and its troops in Gaza….
The official in charge of President Trump’s ceasefire plan for Gaza criticized Israel on Wednesday for its attacks on the war-battered Palestinian territory and warned that the alternative to the US proposal is the next war, the AP reports. Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace high representative, insisted to the UN Security Council that Trump’s 20-point plan has not stalled and “has moved from the negotiating table to the engineering table.” The militant group Hamas has agreed to the proposal’s key provision to disarm and turn Gaza over to civilian rule, he said. But Israel’s ongoing strikes since last October’s ceasefire are still killing Palestinians—though much fewer—and Gazans can’t feel that the conflict is ending, he said.
“After three years of war and 20 years of military operations, I ask, will another strike on a munitions depot stop Hamas from rearming or tightening its grip on Gaza?” Mladenov said. “It will not. It only delays the demilitarization that would happen” and obstructs the transfer to a civilian government. A recent US deal with Hamas to disarm was seen as a potential breakthrough to end the war, which was sparked by the militant group’s deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel. But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his forces won’t withdraw from their current lines in Gaza until Hamas has handed over all its weapons.
Mladenov said that at a meeting he took part in last week with Netanyahu and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, “we went through his government’s concerns one by one and narrowed the areas that still require technical work.” Israel’s deputy UN ambassador, Noa Furman, reiterated to the Security Council his country’s commitment to Trump’s plan, but stressed that it can’t succeed while Hamas remains armed. He said Israel is working closely with the US to achieve Hamas’ disarmament.
The US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz, said concerns about Trump’s plan are being addressed and Hamas’ disarmament will be judged on its actions. Mladenov warned of the distance between the roadmap and what’s happening on the ground, and said if war resumes, there won’t be a roadmap to return to or anything left on the ground to rebuild. “That would not be a setback,” he said. “it would be a point of no return for everyone.” Mladenov stressed the need for political will to overcome the differences and said there is a choice to be made: “A Gaza disarmed, rebuilt and reconnected to the world. Or a Gaza rearmed, divided and in rubble, with a radicalized generation raised inside it and the next war already on the horizon.”
Seriously?
How many knew this would be the outcome? (sarcasm)
This is what we get when we allow Israel to dictate our responses and what we get for let amateurs run the foreign policy.
Yep, it is that simple.
I fear the Gazans are in for a real extended war unless someone changes things and that will be a long time coming as long as Israel controls our politicians.
Yep it is that simple.
Back in the early years of the 20th century France and the UK set these events in motion and I hope they are happy and well compensated.
Just FYI….since the ‘truce’ there is been no decrease in deaths or injuries….
The ministry said that since the truce deal was signed in October 2025, the IDF has killed at least 1,318 Palestinians and wounded 4,375.
Despite the US and the so-called “Board of Peace” negotiating a disarmament deal with Hamas to advance the stalled peace deal, the US has also backed Israel’s continued strikes in Gaza, and Israel has rejected the US-backed proposal.
As this month creeps closer to being in the books nothing has slowed Donny and his minions down in the least….in fact they seem to get bolder and stupider.
The only nice thing (that almost never happens) that Donny did was order the flags at half mast for the passing of Dolly Parton….
President Trump is marking Dolly Parton’s death with a nationwide gesture: flags at federal buildings will fly at half-staff for a week starting Tuesday at 6pm. “Very sad to report that Dolly Parton, one of the greatest Country singers, and far beyond, EVER, has just passed away,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
That aside he has been the usual dick that we have come to despise.
Once again he makes news with the idea of renaming something….from the Gulf of Mexico to the Strait of Hormuz and now he is thinking about one the Great Lakes….all stems from his pissing contest with Canada….
President Trump’s latest shot at Canada involves a “Gulf of America”-style rebrand on a Great Lake. In a Truth Social post Tuesday, he said the US is “giving serious consideration” to rebranding Lake Ontario as “Lake America,” claiming Washington doesn’t expect to “do much business with Ontario any longer,” reports CNN. The remark follows the collapse of trade talks and Trump’s warning of “far WORSE” consequences if Canadian leaders don’t “fall in line.” Canada, notes the Wall Street Journal, is less than likely to give a thumbs up to “a unilateral name change by the US.”
He may not be finished with thios renaming phase….
Donald Trump has once again ignited debate over geographic branding after floating the concept of renaming the major oceans that flank the United States on domestic maps.
Speaking on the topic of national sovereignty, heritage, and international cartography, the former president questioned why the United States continues to use historical, globally established names for the massive bodies of water lining its eastern and western coastlines.
The remarks build upon Trump’s previous public musings regarding North American waterways. He has repeatedly raised questions about the naming of the Gulf of Mexico, and even rebranded the name on American federal documents as the “Gulf of America” to reflect the country’s extensive coastline and economic dominance in the region.
Why Trump is claiming them along with the Strait of Hormuz (which the U.S. doesn’t actually control) isn’t clear. Perhaps the president doesn’t understand the CFA arrangement, which also allows the U.S. military to operate in the territories, and thinks that means that they are part of the U.S. And for some reason, his picture didn’t include Palau, another country in the Pacific Ocean that is also part of the CFA with the U.S.
We all know that he wants his name on everything and the Kennedy Center is no difference but he has been told ‘no way’ and what will be his response?
The Kennedy Center’s very survival is now part of a court fight over President Trump’s name. In a court filing Monday, Justice Department lawyers argued that if renovations—and plans to add Trump’s name to the building’s facade—aren’t allowed to go forward, the performing arts center may have to be demolished, NBC News reports.
“Without those efforts, the Center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down, with a determination to follow on what to build on the site, such as a large outdoor amphitheater overlooking the Potomac River that has been proposed, by some, for many years,” Justice Department attorney Brantley T. Mayers wrote.
The filing follows another vote by a board dominated by Trump allies to close the venue for years of repair work—moves a federal judge has previously found were approved improperly. The same board has also twice backed adding Trump’s name to the building’s exterior and other sites, despite a ruling earlier this year that the center cannot be renamed to honor both Trump and John F. Kennedy.
In Monday’s filing, Justice Department lawyers wrote that the board “recognizes that President Trump’s efforts and prestige provide the sole hope for the Center’s financial survival, and structural renewal.” They argued that “undisputed evidence” shows that without the “prominent recognition” of Trump’s efforts, “donors will not contribute, and the Center will continue to be in a financial and structural death spiral. The Trump Administration, and President Donald J. Trump, should, therefore, be given the respect and dignity of acknowledgement.”
In the filing, lawyers described the center as a “financially insolvent facility, housed in a decrepit, dilapidated, crumbling building,” per the AP.
Officials say the renovation would mostly update hidden infrastructure—citing corroded steel, failing fireproofing, and a cooling system from 1971 that hasn’t worked in decades—with only modest visible changes. US District Judge Casey Cooper will hold a hearing Thursday on Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty’s effort to block the inscription, which she argues would breach federal law, CNN reports. Beatty’s lawyers have described the new attempt to add Trump’s name as “a transparent attempt to effectuate the renaming in another guise,” calling for a ruling to “put an end to this childish gambit.” In his earlier ruling, Cooper said only Congress has the power to rename the center, NBC notes.
What a complete douche bag.
It appears that Iran has put a bounty of Barron’s head…..
Iranian state TV has broadcast a video that appears to solicit ideas for killing Barron Trump, and the Secret Service says it’s taking a hard look. The roughly three-minute clip, aired by state-run IRIB, opens in English with the line “Where to kill Barron Trump?!” and uses stylized graphics to highlight places the 20-year-old is publicly known to frequent, including Trump Tower in New York. A narrator later references people “eagerly waiting to receive our $10 million reward.” The “Secret Service is aware of the video and investigates anything that can be perceived as a threat toward our protectees,” a Secret Service rep said in a statement, per the AP. “Out of concern for operational security, we do not discuss matters of protective intelligence.”
Is this real? Or just another false flag from the king of false flags?
There has been a bunch of reports about people that oppose these purposed data centers….now Donny has a name for us….
President Donald Trump has a message for Americans who scorn data centers: you’re making a foolish mistake.
“Frankly, communities that don’t take a data center are making a mistake,” Trump hectored. There are “plenty of communities” that want them, he continued, calling those that embrace the facilities the “smart ones.”
His pitch isn’t exactly the most inspiring, falling back on tired — not to mention false — notions that AI will create new jobs and bring “tremendous tax revenue” to towns reeling from decades of poverty and neglect.
Does anyone in the 21st century use the term ‘rube’?
This illustrates what macho douche bags these religious types are….
Doug Wilson, the prominent pastor who leads the denomination to which Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth belongs, said in a recent interview that while marital rape is “wrong,” there are circumstances he considers less clear-cut — including situations where a wife refuses sex for extended periods.
Wilson, 71, founder of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches, made the remarks in an interview with Uncloseted Media that has drawn sharp criticism from advocacy groups.
The pastor said police should be called in cases of violent rape but argued that the church should handle what he termed “non-violent rape” within marriages.
Non-violent rape? To me any rape is an act of violence….you?
Donny’s idiot at the Pentagon, Pistol Pete, is recruiting a ‘troll army’….
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has quietly assembled an online army of MAGA influencers — including some who work for the Pentagon or have nearly landed jobs there, according to a new report.
It came to light this week that Jennica Pounds, a right-wing influencer better known as “Data Republican” on X, has worked as a temporary Pentagon special government employee since July. The Defense Department confirmed her employment but refused to explain what specific duties Pounds performs.
But Pounds appears to be only one member of a “Pentagon troll army” Hegseth is assembling, The Bulwark revealed Thursday.
Speaking of Pistol Pete….does he realize how incompetent he truly is?
A flurry of reports from various media outlets is revealing how the unqualified secretary of defense is damaging national security with his incompetence and slavish devotion to MAGA ideology. TheNew York Times reported on how numerous senior positions within the Army have gone months without leadership since Hegseth fired them. TheWashington Post reports that the firing of Gen. Randy George, the Army chief of staff, in April was a result of George dragging his feet on terminating the investigations of Army aviators who violated safety regulations in order to “buzz” Kid Rock’s mansion.
He is a religious twat that has the IQ of garden slug.
The 9/11 remembrance will go forward without Donny….
President Trump is again sparring with the New York Times, this time over how he’ll mark the upcoming Sept. 11 anniversary. The Times reported that the president wanted to speak at the annual ceremony at the World Trade Center site on the 25th anniversary of the attacks, but that organizers declined. Since 2012, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum has barred political speeches at the event. The paper said Trump will instead attend a Pentagon memorial, while Vice President JD Vance is now set to represent the administration in New York. Trump himself has confirmed his plans: The AP notes that when asked by reporters on Friday why he won’t be in New York on 9/11, the president replied: “Because I’m going to the Pentagon.”
On Truth Social, Trump also deemed the Times story of why he ducked out of New York’s ceremony “Corrupt News,” arguing that “no one ever speaks” at what he described as a “solemn ceremony” and adding that he’d “love not to speak, because I’m speaking all the time,” per the Hill. He also attacked Times reporter Maggie Haberman personally, labeling her a “Fake Reporter” and “a stalker.” A Times spokesperson said the article was based on multiple sources familiar with planning for the ceremony and that the White House didn’t dispute their information when asked for comment, adding that the outlet remains confident in its reporting.
Giving Donny a chapped ass is a great thing indeed.
That Was The week That Was
That does it for the disgusting crap from Donny and the Thugz….sorry if I was a bummer….but maybe I can make up for it with this video….
I hope everyone enjoys their late Summer sunday and as alaways….Be Well and Be Safe….
