Tacky Is As Tacky Does

We are celebrating our 250th year of existence and Uncle Donny has the perfect event that will explain his administration to the nation and the world.

The White House South Lawn is getting a temporary makeover, the BBC reports. Construction is underway on an octagonal wire-mesh UFC cage and temporary arena outside the White House, ahead of a June 14 fight card marking 250 years of American independence that President Trump has billed as UFC’s “biggest event” yet. (June 14 is also Trump’s 80th birthday, the New York Times reports.)

UFC Freedom 250, as the event is called, will feature two title bouts: Brazil’s Alex Pereira vs. France’s Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight belt and Georgia’s Ilia Topuria vs. interim champ Justin Gaethje at lightweight. UFC president Dana White says about 4,300 people—largely military personnel—will watch on the lawn, while as many as 100,000 people will be allowed to watch the fight for free at the nearby White House Ellipse grounds. Ringside, there will be a full marching band providing music, the Guardian reports.

There will be no public ticket sales, though VIP “high roller” special access packages are reportedly being offered to some for $1.5 million. Parent company TKO Group says the UFC won’t profit and is treating the spectacle as a long-term investment. It will be the first professional sporting event staged on White House grounds and comes amid a series of Trump-era renovations, including added gold accents in the Oval Office, a new patio over the former rose garden, a refurbished Lincoln Bedroom bath, and a rebuilt East Wing to accommodate Trump’s new ballroom. The president is also planning an IndyCar street circuit racing event in August that will go past the US Capitol, Washington Monument, and other iconic sites.

How fucking tacky is this?

No public access it is for the making of obscene profits at the expense of this country’s dignity….but how can we be surprised look at who’s is pushing this abortion of an event.

Only an idiot with no sense of honor would consider a gladiator game a rich example of celebrating this country’s independence.

This is a pathetic attempt a from pathetic individual.

We Shall Return

That is the thinking now that we have once again returned to the Moon with our latest by-pass….and now we have a plan to return in force to the Moon in all it’s glory.

NASA doesn’t just want to go back to the moon—it wants to move in, ABC News reports. The agency on Tuesday sketched out how it plans to turn brief Apollo-style visits into the beginnings of a permanent outpost, with crewed landings targeted for 2028 and a three-phase “Moon Base” effort running through at least 2032. Administrator Jared Isaacman called the push “extremely challenging,” noting that humans have logged only about 80 hours of moonwalks, all more than 50 years ago. Surface temperatures can swing from above 250 degrees Fahrenheit in sunlight to below -250 in darkness, and there’s no atmosphere to blunt radiation, meteorites, or weather.

NASA’s three-step plan starts with what officials describe as a proof-of-concept era. Phase 1, already underway and scheduled through 2029, is meant to show that the technology works and that commercial partners can reliably deliver cargo and hardware. NASA expects roughly 25 launches and 21 landings in this stage, sending about 4 metric tons of equipment to the lunar surface while it tests “the science of survival” needed for later infrastructure and, eventually, long-term habitation. Phase 2 will involve assembling semi-permanent habitation facilities on the lunar surface, NBC News reports. Phase 3, starting in 2032, aims to see sustained human presence on the moon. Ultimately, one goal is to build a foundation for a future expedition to Mars, CBS News reports.

Private companies are central to almost every piece. Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 1 lander is slated to carry scientific gear to the lunar South Pole as early as fall 2026. Astrobotic is building another lander to haul more than 1,100 pounds of cargo, while a third 2026 mission will fly instruments chosen under NASA’s lunar research initiative, along with payloads from Europe and South Korea. Astrolab and Lunar Outpost won $439 million to develop lunar terrain vehicles that can carry two astronauts at up to 9mph or drive themselves; Blue Origin will deliver the rovers under a contract worth up to $280 million. A separate “Moonfall” mission, contracted to Firefly Aerospace for launch around 2028, will send four drones to scout resources, landing zones, and the outline of a future base site.

I have made my thoughts known on many occasions…..every time these greedy slug bring up the Moon….in case you are unfamiliar with my thinking….

Old Prof’s Look At Space Law (Again)

All this is a violation of the treaty signed by many nations back in the 60s….if there is going to be profits made off the Moon then 50% of it should be for the betterment of this planet.

This is so much horse manure.

Thoughts?

Donny Has A Plan For The Middle East

AS you can imagine it is a plan that will not bring peace in the Middle East but it will give Israel more power than it deserves.

President Trump has made a new pivot in Iran peace talks: He’s now pitching a sweeping reset of Middle East relations that would widen a regional pact from his first term called the Abraham Accords. Trump wants more Muslim-majority countries to formally recognize or deepen ties with Israel, and he specifically called out Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan as targets for inclusion. He added that Iran itself could join once it signs a peace deal, asserting that the widened pact would be “the most important Deal” those countries would ever sign. Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates are the current signees, notes the Washington Post.

A Wall Street Journal analysis points out that the idea could give Trump an out with hawkish Republicans who have blasted the emerging Iran framework as too soft and too similar to the Obama-era nuclear deal Trump scrapped in his first term. Sens. Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and ex–national security adviser John Bolton all have warned the proposal could bolster Tehran. Graham, however, quickly pivoted to cheer Trump’s Abraham Accords expansion plan as “simply brilliant” and potentially transformative for the region. A New York Times analysis similarly notes that if “more countries sign up to the accords, it could placate some Iran hawks who have criticized Mr. Trump for pursuing a peace deal.”

The major obstacle: the countries Trump is pressuring. Saudi Arabia has repeatedly said it won’t normalize relations with Israel without a credible path to Palestinian statehood—something even more remote after Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza and clashes with Iran. Pakistan’s defense minister already has rejected the idea of joining, notes the Times of India. Qatari officials likewise signaled they’re not on board and would only engage Israel on resolving the Palestinian issue. Trump’s vision is “a hope tethered to a galaxy far, far away,” Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East negotiator now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, tells the Journal. Gulf leaders risk public backlash if they move closer to Israel under current conditions, he says.

This is just another attempt to give Israel the lead in the Middle East….a country that thinks genocide is a good option for settling grievances.

These Accords give Israel everything and peanuts to everyone else involved.

I say screw Israel….the sooner this parasite is put in its place the sooner peace can be achieved in the Middle East….Israel has never held up to any of its commitments to peace in the region ….why would this one be any different?
