Last Week At The Sh*t Show–24May26

It has been an interesting week….starting with Donny’s lame idea of a prayer rally on last Sunday.

The big deal was Donny’s religious fervor rally….a rally that few attended and even Donny did not show up….

Practically no one attended Donald Trump’s eight-hour religious program Sunday on Washington’s National Mall.

Even the president—or his cabinet members—couldn’t be bothered to show up to Rededicate 250, which was billed as a “national jubilee of prayer, praise and thanksgiving.” A smattering of people attended the outdoor event, held during 90-degree weather and high humidity in the nation’s capital, to hear Trump’s glitchy, prerecorded message about God. Trump, meanwhile, was at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

This attempt was a bust….as it should have been.

Gabbard, DNI, is taking a powder…..

Another Cabinet member is leaving: Tulsi Gabbard is stepping down as the nation’s top intelligence official, reports the Wall Street Journal and Fox News. In a letter to Trump on Friday, Gabbard cited her husband’s fight with a rare bone cancer. “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle,” she wrote. Her last day is June 30.

Gabbard, who has led the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for about 18 months, thanked Trump for the opportunity and pledged a “smooth and thorough transition.” The Journal notes that while her departure comes amid war with Iran, the former Democratic congresswoman wasn’t closely involved in the decision-making for the conflict. Still, NBC News notes that she doesn’t appear to have been forced from her position, as was the case with former Attorney General Pam Bondi and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

They are revving up the rhetoric against Cuba so look for something to break on the front.

Donny’s press secretary is just as nuts as the rest of his entourage….

Caroline Leavitt has taken to social media to share an unusual message about Satan, as she enjoys her maternity leave.

Taking to Instagram on May 17, Leavitt, 28, posted a screenshot from Google to her Instagram Story, which read, “2 Corinthians 4:4 states that ‘the god of this age’ Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.”

Continuing, the screenshot further said, “This means spiritual darkness prevents people from understanding God’s truth until their hearts are opened.” This comes as Karoline Leavitt praised Margo Martin on Instagram.

FBI Director has personalized bourbon bottles (go figure)….

The ninth man to lead the FBI is putting a very personal stamp on the job—right down to engraved bourbon bottles that read “Kash Patel FBI Director.” In the Atlantic, investigative reporter Sarah Fitzpatrick details how Patel has been handing out personalized Woodford Reserve bottles, complete with an FBI-style shield, an eagle, and his trademark “Ka$h,” to bureau employees and civilians alike. Current and former FBI and Justice Department officials tell Fitzpatrick the bottles are sometimes ferried on DOJ planes and have turned up at official events, including Quantico training and a trip to the Milan Olympics

The FBI doesn’t deny the bottles exist and says they’re part of a long-standing gift tradition, paid for by Patel and in line with ethics rules—claims it did not substantively document, per Fitzpatrick. Multiple agents, speaking largely anonymously, describe the liquor swag as unsettling, “demoralizing,” and emblematic of looser alcohol norms and a “merch forward” director (Patel does hawk his own branded merch here via the Kash Foundation) more focused on self-branding than quiet professionalism. “Handing out bottles of liquor at the premier law-enforcement agency—it makes me frightened for the country,” says former FBI analyst George Hill. “Standards apply to everything and everyone—especially the boss.” Read Fitzpatrick’s full piece in the Atlantic for the detailed reporting, documents, and voices behind these concerns.

With Donny waffling back and forth on Iran there is a chance he will order American troops into Iran…..MTG has made it clear what that will do….

Marjorie Taylor Greene has openly warned of a political revolution in the United States if President Donald Trump decides to send American soldiers into Iran. The warning came on May 18, 2026, and it signals a serious split within the MAGA movement as tensions over the Iran conflict continue to grow.

The situation heated up on a Sunday afternoon when Greene posted on X to make her position clear. She wrote, “If you send in U.S. military troops into Iran, there is going to be a political revolution in America. WE. ARE. DONE. We said no more foreign wars and we meant it.” She also added, “The coalition will unite and be unstoppable. I’ll make sure of it,” and followed it up with, “End this war. It’s stupid.”

I do not know what happen to MTG to change her from a MAGA hardliner to a MAGA critic but what ever it was …..thank you.

With Donny and the mindless coming up with new ‘domestic terror’ bullshit…..he can now go after Tucker Carlson as a ‘terrorists’ because he criticizes the idiot in the White House….

Two right-wing figures — Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes — have been named by the White House as possible domestic terrorists, according to the Trump administration’s top counterterrorism official.

Sebastian Gorka, himself a former right-wing influencer turned National Security Council principal, has been making his rounds on conservative media, explaining the meaning and purpose behind the President’s new National Counterterrorism Strategy (which I reported on previously).

Between grandiose monologues about his vision of a crusade to save Western civilization from “anti-American” and “anti-Christian” extremism, Gorka let slip that the administration’s war on “domestic terrorism” isn’t just aimed at the left. It targets anyone who isn’t in line with the broader MAGA agenda. While Trump’s national security directive NSPM-7 explicitly singles out the left with its list of so-called terrorism indicators, many of them could describe people on the right as well.

Watch the fascist Gorka….he is as trustworthy as a rattlesnake in heat.

Now there is a fund to compensate Jan.6 rioters for their treatment….

Less than a week after the Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to compensate those who allege they were wrongly targeted under the Biden administration, Jan. 6 defendants and allies of President Donald Trump are lining up to seek their share of the unprecedented compensation fund.

Sitting in his car outside a campaign event in Minnesota as he runs for governor, My Pillow CEO and Trump ally Mike Lindell told ABC News he hopes his company employees receive millions from the fund for what he believes is the weaponization of the Biden administration against him for his actions after the 2020 election.

Lindell — one of the leading proponents of 2020 election fraud claims — told ABC News that third-party auditors estimate his company and employees lost $400 million for the election-related lawsuits and government investigations that followed the election. While Lindell said he personally does not expect to get any money from the fund, he said he hopes his employees — who own a stake of My Pillow — can apply for compensation.

I say screw those toads they deserve NOTHING….for they are TRAITORS!~

A trip to Gitmo would be my gift to the insurrectionists.

Enough of the downer stuff….I leave you today with a few jokes that should pop a smile on your face….

We love a good joke, especially if it brings out a huge laugh. Simple jokes are the best ones because it doesn’t matter if you have comedic timing or not, they always hit. Today, you’ll read a bunch of them.

We have classic jokes like: ‘I’ve got a collection of vacuum cleaners. They’re just gathering dust.’ Some are more existential questions: ‘Ever notice how broken glass tastes like blood?’ And some that will make the person hearing it, feel dumb: ‘What has toes but isn’t your foot? My foot.’

Whether you think these are good or bad, you can’t say you aren’t laughing. Get ready for tears in your face and a tummy ache. Start sliding.

I hope you and your family have a restful Sunday and as always…..Be Well and Be Safe….

  1. Seeing as how Karoline Leavitt is one of “ours” (from NH) and as far as Im concerned, she’s an embarassment to us all. Her campaign photos showed her suggling up to her then boyfriend, not exactly prime time interesting, and suddenly there she is in the WhiteHouse, and apparently pregnant then too by her new rich old boyfriend/husband guy. If I recall correctly, she was also pregnant a year ago too. As to Tucker Carlson, I simply cannot see him as anything more dangerous than a leaking helium balloon…

  2. “Two right-wing figures — Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes — have been named by the White House as possible domestic terrorists, according to the Trump administration’s top counterterrorism official.”

    So, Trump’s fascist movement is turning on itself already?!!! They haven’t even suffered a devastating defeat yet. Jeez, the Nazis didn’t start to implode until two of their great armies – the first at Stalingrad, and the second in Tunisia – were utterly destroyed! If old Adolf was still around, he’d have some choice words for Trump!
