Last Week At The Sh*t Show–04Jan26

The last week of 2025 was the typical stuff from our ‘great’ leaders at the Sh*t Show…..they talked and they lied….other than that not much more has happened…..but we are entering into a new year…..who knows?

Donny has stopped threatening and decide to take on Venezuela….(more on this to come Monday)….

Let’s look at the ‘Sh*t Show from last week (or so)….

Donny has claimed that the NYT is a security threat….

Donald Trump has accused The New York Times of being a national security threat in an unhinged Truth Social post.

“The Failing New York Times, and their lies and purposeful misrepresentations, is a serious threat to the National Security of our Nation,” Trump wrote in a late-night social media meltdown.

“Their Radical Left, Unhinged Behavior, writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never-ending way, must be dealt with and stopped. THEY ARE A TRUE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! Thank you for your attention to this matter. PRESIDENT DJT.”

Anyone that does not agree with him or offers criticism is a national threat….I guess that would be me as well.

More governmental waste….(where is DOGE when we need them?)

President Donald Trump spent a quarter of the days in his second term at a golf club.

Trump, 79, has visited golf clubs 88 times over the course of this year since he returned to office in January.

The total was compiled by the Trump Golf Tracker, based on the president’s public schedule and a tally of all the times his motorcade arrived at his golf club in December.

“President Trump is working 24/7 to Make America Great Again and make the world a safer place,” said White House spokesperson Davis Ingle in a statement. “Nobody works harder than President Trump who has delivered a record number of historic achievements in only a year.”  (This is a good laugh)

Donny’s new policy for ICE recruitment…..

The powers that be at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are planning on a massive recruitment drive in 2026—but the people they’re hoping to attract aren’t your typical feds.

The deportation agency has earmarked $100 million for online advertisements over the next year, hoping to draw gun rights advocates and military enthusiasts into its ranks, according to an internal document obtained by The Washington Post.

The agency’s so-called “wartime recruitment” strategy involves a massive hiring spree that aims to take on as many as 10,000 new officers across the country. To do so, ICE is coordinating a sprawling social media campaign to target people who have “attended UFC fights, listened to patriotic podcasts or shown an interest in guns and tactical gear,” reported the Post.

Some of that cash will be directed toward advertisements on Snapchat and the conservative YouTube dupe Rumble, while other portions of the budget will be dosed out for live marketing via livestreamers and right-wing influencers.

The recruitment blitz will also utilize contemporary software such as geofencing in order to beam ICE advertisements directly to devices in certain areas, such as those near military bases, Nascar races, college campuses, or gun and trade shows, according to the 30-page document.

I bet that if the records of the ICE agents is revealed there would be more criminals there than within the immigrants they are bullying.

Just sure up the Gestapo for later when they are more needed.

FEMA is an important agency for us along the Gulf Coast….and now the moron Noem is f*cking with the needed agency….

According to CNN, roughly 50 staffers with FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery were notified on New Year’s Eve that they were being let go, with some receiving emails informing them their “services will no longer be needed” after their contracts expire in early January.

One stunned staffer said it was “Beyond cruel to be treated in such a way.”

Sources claim the decision came from FEMA’s new acting chief, Karen Evans, who was installed by DHS after the previous chief resigned.

The move is believed to be part of a broader effort led by Noem to shrink the agency, and more terminations are expected in the coming weeks.

Back in March, Noem unveiled a plan to “eliminate” FEMA in an effort to fulfill Trump’s wishes, as he has claimed the agency is inefficient and rampant with fraud. She did not provide any details on how it would be done.

Members of the CORE team are typically the first on the ground during a disaster, as they assist survivors, manage crucial aid, and work with local officials.

AS a political historian I loved this bit of stupidity from the FOX people….

A rumor that Fox News host Jesse Watters said, “If [U.S. President Donald] Trump had been president during the Civil War, we would’ve won it,” circulated online in December 2025.

For example, one Facebook user posted the claim (archived) with what appeared to be an image of Watters on the news station, with a chyron — text at the bottom of the screen — that read: WATTERS: “IF TRUMP HAD BEEN PRESIDENT DURING THE CIVIL WAR, WE WOULD’VE WON IT.”

I love it…..who the Hell is ‘WE’?

Finally a round-up of the dumbest shit from 2025….this is for those that missed some of the antics of idiots…..

Alright, y’all, we’re back for another round of Dumbest Moments Of 2025. The first round simply wasn’t enough. Far too much has been done to normalize anti-intellectualism this year, arguably more so than any other year in recent history. We have abject ignorance in the White House for a second time. We made real life and satire virtually indistinguishable. America has always been this racist, but has it ever been this dumb before?

Karoline Leavitt defends Trump’s “medbed” AI

One thing to know about being a member of the Trump administration is you’re going to look like an idiot while defending the president’s idiocy. This is  White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s daily reality as the administration’s official mouthpiece, and if she wasn’t already this dumb before landing the job, she certainly is dumber for having taken it.

In October, President Donald Trump shared an AI-generated video of himself promoting a cure-all “medbed,” which references a QAnon medical conspiracy theory about fictional medical beds that will cure a patient of virtually any ailment and “restore every citizen to full health.”

There is more!

Dumbest Moments Of 2025 Part 2: The Trump Effect

I cannot leave without the dumbest thing any one person has uttered in the last week….
Kelly Loeffler, the head of the Small Business Administration, said President Donald Trump is not pardoning criminals.
If they are not criminals why do they need a pardon?
Are there really people this stupid that they believe this crap?
That Was The Week That Was…..in all it’s stupidity and silliness.
That is it for this Sunday….but not to worry it is a new year and a fresh batch of stupid.

  1. While I was laid up with the flu I didn’t see any news really. When I did start feeling good enough to start to care again, I find all of this going on… Sigh. I should have stuck with watching stupid cat videos on Youtube.

  2. Trump accuses the NYT: … writing FAKE Articles and Opinions in a never-ending way — What does he think HE is doing? Yes, yes. I know. He’s excluded … basically because EVERYTHING he does is correct, wondrous, and sought-after. Right? Right!

  3. It’s only 4 days into the new year, and DT has already sunk to new lows. Give him 10,000 more ICE agent stormtroopers, and who knows what he will have them doing? Looks to me as if he is going ‘full on fascist’ for 2026. Good luck over there!
    Best wishes, Pete.
