When Mueller testified about "his" report, he was unable to remember many details about "his" report.
Update: Here's a contemporary tweet about that.Mollie
@MZHemingway Robert Mueller literally just said he wasn't familiar with Fusion GPS. My Lord. My Lord. 9:31 AM
Jul 24, 2019
Some cynics thought that Robert Mueller was a mentally-failing man who had nominally been put in charge of the "Mueller investigation" to give it (undeserved) credence and authority, while the actual leader of the investigation was the extremely partisan corrupt Democrat activist Andrew Weissman, lately of MSNBC. And it just so happens that a handful of years later and Mueller's mind has slipped enough that he has to live in a memory care facility.
You might think, "But the Mueller report exonerated Trump, why claim that the partisan Lizard Person Andrew Weissman was the true author?" The report only exonerated Trump of Russian collusion, which it had to do, because there was literally zero evidence to say otherwise. Everything in Hillary Clinton's "dossier" was just the hallucination of an old, drunk conspiracy theorist. But Weissman's report nevertheless insisted -- unethically -- that Trump "may have" committed obstruction of justice by simply refusing to answer some questions or even just by having his attorney make the argument that he didn't have to disclose some papers. They criminalized just having a counselor during a potentially-criminal investigation. Trump did not obstruct justice just because he spoke to his lawyers before rushing to comply with baseless demands. And he didn't obstruct justice because that charge requires materiality. If you are not forthcoming about a question that turns out to not be a material fact in any crime, you're not guilty of obstruction of justice. I thought we all learned this when Bill Clinton claimed his many lies under oath were "not material" and thus not perjury (or obstruction of justice). And it's completely unethical to claim that the man you've been investigating, and have found no evidence establishing he committed any crimes, "may have" obstructed justice. You can't prove it, you can't charge it, but you have to give the left a bone so you stoke up suspicions about what Trump "may have" done, but which you can't prove or even charge. It was this claim of what Trump "may have" been guilty of that permitted Andrew Weissman's many, many media allies, some of whom he would soon be soon be joining on MSNBC, to claim that the Mueller report didn't really exonerate Trump, because he "may have" been guilty of unspecified crimes asserted WITHOUT EVIDENCE. Weissman turned the left's complete loss into an contested matter so that Rachel Maddow would not feel too bad about herself. So yeah, I think Weissman was the real writer of the report and Mueller was just a steeply mentally-declining front. Because supposedly he's "so respected." Related:
Robert Mueller, the former FBI director and special counsel, is reportedly living in a memory care facility, raising questions about his ability to respond to a new House subpoena. The report comes as Mueller is being called to testify about the FBI's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Key Details: Real Clear Politics reported Monday that Robert Mueller has been living in a memory care facility "for the past few years," citing unnamed sources. Despite the report, the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena requiring Mueller to appear for a deposition on September 2 regarding the FBI's decades-old Epstein investigation. The Committee declined to confirm or deny Mueller's reported condition, telling the Daily Caller it would engage in "good faith negotiations with all parties." Diving Deeper: Robert Mueller is allegedly residing in a memory care facility, according to a report published Monday by Real Clear Politics. The former FBI director and special counsel, who led the high-profile investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, has reportedly been in the facility "for the past few years," sources told investigative journalist Paul Sperry. The report surfaced as the House Oversight Committee announced it had issued Mueller a subpoena to testify about the FBI's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. Chairman James Comer is seeking answers about a long-dormant federal investigation into Epstein that occurred during the George W. Bush administration. While the Oversight Committee confirmed the subpoena was issued, it declined to comment on Mueller's alleged condition. "The subpoenas issued are legally binding and duly authorized," a spokesperson told the Daily Caller. "As always, the Committee will engage in good faith negotiations with all parties." The report from Real Clear Politics has raised concerns about Mueller's cognitive capacity and ability to testify. If confirmed, it would mark a dramatic turn for the once-revered lawman who served as FBI director under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and later as special counsel in one of the most politically charged investigations in recent memory. Mueller's 2019 report famously concluded that investigators did not find sufficient evidence that the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election -- a finding that sharply contradicted years of media speculation and Democrat accusations. It remains unclear how the Oversight Committee will proceed if Mueller is unable to participate in the deposition. No official statement has been released by Mueller or his representatives regarding the report or the subpoena.

Trump, writing in an Aug. 6 executive order, said India’s government is “currently directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil.” “Accordingly, and as consistent with applicable law, articles of India imported into the customs territory of the United States shall be subject to an additional ad valorem rate of duty of 25 percent,” the executive order states. Last week, the president announced a 25 percent tariff against India, one of the largest U.S. trading partners. Additionally, India would face another penalty over its purchases of Russian energy and military equipment.Of course China buys even more Russian oil, and even turkey buys a large amount. So why is President Trump going after India, and not Turkey. Obviously he has already significantly adjusted tariffs on Chinese products. Or even the EU, which imports refined products from India, in a transparent attempt to evade sanctions on Russia. Yeah...that sounds nutty, but such is the hypocrisy of Europe. How much Russian oil does India buy?
After the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, India became the biggest buyer of Russian crude due to the diversion of traditional supplies to Europe, which officials in New Delhi said was a “necessity compelled by global market situation”. In that first year, India imported as much as two million barrels a day of Russian oil, accounting for roughly 2 per cent of global supply. China and Turkey were the other major buyers. In 2023, at the same time as India’s import of Russian crude oil more than doubled year-on-year, its export of refined crude to the EU grew to a record level. [bolding mine]
So the EU is going balls-to-the-wall in its support of Ukraine against Russia, and would dearly love American boots on the ground. At the same time they are buying Russian crude that is partially refined in India, and which pumps much-needed foreign currency into the Russian economy. Increasing the tariffs on India makes sense, but it is clearly only part of the picture, and risks driving India away from America and into the waiting arms of China. India has already said that they would continue to buy Russian oil, but there are real economic repercussions, which suggests that India will ask for more of a discount from Russia. Putin's intransigence with respect to the Trump-driven negotiations are driving these economic blows, and while Russia's economy was doing okay, recently it has shown significant slowing. Can Putin weather this storm, or will he be forced to be more accommodating at the ceasefire talks? Who knows? But the negotiations are unlike most others, because Russia is a nuclear power, and Putin has already threatened, through his subordinates, to use tactical nuclear weapons. That's all the more reason to keep our troops out, and to allow Europe to take the lead in supplying Ukraine. Or...a pox on all of their houses!

In a post on Truth Social, President Donald J. Trump said he will move to federalize the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., unless the city government, led by Mayor Muriel Bowser (D), reins in violent crime.. . Trump and Congress could move to revoke home rule for the capital and re-exert federal control entirely over the city.The odds of this actually happening are well into the none end of the Slim to None scale for a number of reasons, all of them political, from the practical to the petty (hatred of President Trump). WIth that as the set up, I would argue that the problems of Washington D.C. as a city regardless of the fact that it is the nation's capital, and the misery that local residents must endure (politicians notwithstanding [and they live in places like Alexandria and Silver Spring anyway]) pose less of a threat to us as a nation than California: Case in point:
A nationally known California pastor is calling on parents of underage school children to pack up and leave the state if Assembly Bill 495 passes and is signed into law. The bill makes all underage California school children the target of traffickers and kidnappers—by design. "This is the end of [parental rights]," Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Pastor Jack Hibbs told parishioners last week. "If this bill passes, I'm going to ask you [parents] to leave the state of California. You're going to have to pack up and you're gonna have to get out. You gotta get out. You gotta run with your kids. You gotta go." With this bill, California Democrats are going all-in on the destroy-the-village-to-save-it rationale for "saving" children illegally in the country, while endangering every other child as well. Indeed, all children legally or illegally in this country could be kidnapped or trafficked under this bill. We don't understand why it's acceptable to allow children illegally in the U.S. to be trafficked, but these Democrats are evil. They don't care about kids or their parents. A visibly angry Hibbs warned parents attending Calvary Chapel Chino Hills recently that the bill "100% strips parents of their parental rights." . . . Here's how we got here. Last spring, the California Assembly Democrats decided to cleverly switch the language of the California Family Code to somehow "protect" children illegally in the country from feared ICE raids by allowing shirttail relatives or, for that matter, perfect strangers to take them out of school or daycare. This was an apparent attempt to allow NGOs, non-profits, or other groups —you know, the same bunch who lost those more than 300,000 children who were brought over the borders by Joe Biden's cartel buddies and disappeared— to take the kids again without parental permission or notification. The bill also gives these strangers the ability to provide children with medical and dental care. Think abortions, sex change operations, STD checks, mental exams, and female circumcisions.Now consider this item:
The Babylon Bee and Rumble are suing California over two laws that censor political satire during election season, including some images like memes that mock political candidates. A hearing in a Sacramento federal court was held Tuesday to determine whether the laws will be permanently blocked after a judge issued a temporary injunction. The final decision is expected in the coming weeks.Imagine losing your children if you are regular viewers/readers of the aforementioned and of course this website and other websites deemed dangerous purveyors of dangerous content, etc. etc. etc. And whatever his chances are, Gavin Newsom seems to be, as of now, the leading contender to get the Democrat nomination for 2028. Of course any spoof or even criticism of him in any media might bring a giant hammer (and sickle) down on your head, and kiss your kids goodbye? Orwellian? For sure. Hyperbole? Look back on all we've been through the past 10 years or so, if if not longer before you dismiss it. It's long been seen that what happens in California sooner or later happens in the rest of the nation. And it seems that what happens in the UK sooner or later winds up over here: Maybe California's statehood needs to be revoked and the region returned to territorial status, governed by a Trump-appointed territorial governor.
OFCOM, the UK’s Orwellian name for the Office of Communications, has decided to issue a reporting demanding that YouTube prioritize its propaganda content because of ‘democracy’ and ‘public service’ or something of that sort. Even for the Starmer regime, which is racking up more speech arrest than Cuba, this is really something. The regime believes that its programming is entitled to first row prioritization and that if people don’t choose to watch it, that’s because YouTube isn’t trying hard enough to make them.For those of a certain age, like me, it brings to mind a line from the old comic Yakov Smirnoff, paraphrasing, In the Soviet Union we have two channels. Channel 1 is government Propaganda and Channel 2 is a KGB agent ordering you to switch back to Channel 1!" It was not that long ago, gentle reader you will remember that Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants almost created an American Ministry of Truth, "Disinformation Governance Board" with that Skankowitz Jankowicz shitwhore as Reichminister für propaganda regulating what was to be believed and what was to be censored. Thank the Lord for the dissolution of PBS and with it NPR. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

- Ron Deibert, the director of Citizen Lab, a group monitoring the intrusion of government surveillance into the private internet, has woken up confused from a fifteen-year coma and ready to fight. (Tech Crunch)
Ahead of his talk, Deibert told TechCrunch that he plans to speak about what he describes as a "descent into a kind of fusion of tech and fascism," and the role that the Big Tech platforms are playing, and "propelling forward a really frightening type of collective insecurity that isn't typically addressed by this crowd, this community, as a cybersecurity problem."
You mean like banning the country's oldest newspaper from all social networks over a factually accurate article?
No?"I think that there comes a point at which you have to recognize that the landscape is changing around you, and the security problems you set out for yourselves are maybe trivial in light of the broader context and the insecurities that are being propelled forward in the absence of proper checks and balances and oversight, which are deteriorating," said Deibert.

Ken Paxton has opened an investigation of Robert Francis " " " Beto " " " O'Rourke for bribery of public officials.

The male "accused of hitting the victim named Holly" during the recent Cincinnati mob attack has been arrested, WLWT-TV reported. Patrick Rosemond, 38, was arrested Monday in Fulton County, Georgia, and has been charged with felonious assault and aggravated riot, Cincinnati police told WLWT. 'It's been very, very hard, and I'm still recovering. I still have very bad brain trauma.'This Gentle Giant was just turning his life around. He was thinking about enrolling in CUNY and starting a "rap" career.
ilyWasHereLaw-abiding citizens have their own "issues," too. Can we act on them?
@lilywashere777 A 5th arrest has been made in regards to the vicious attack on July 27 in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The coward was found in Fulton County, Georgia, Patrick Rosemond, 38. He has 3 felonies for drugs, weapons and a total of 41 cases listed on the Ohio Hamilton Clerk of Courts website. I'm sure he has a rap sheet in other states as well. His taxpayer funded court appointed attorney made the usual poor Patrick has issues excuse.
... She recorded a tearful video in which she thanked those who've supported her.That video is included in this news clip.

@berniemoreno Cincinnati is an amazing and spectacular City. It deserves political leadership that matches the greatness of its citizens. @AftabPureval issues a late/weak statement, Police Chief blames social media (not the lack of almost 200 officers), Prosecutor @ConniePillich lets off lowlifes with $400 bail, @RepGregLandsman silent & posting about Ukraine, City Council member blames the victim. This is Holly. She wanted to have a nice evening out with friends. Instead, she got this. Holly gave me permission to release the photos so that others will never suffer what she did. We need and deserve change.
A liberal "Republican" has made it official and joined the Democrat Party. As Deadpool said to Wolverine: "You're kind of joining the franchise at a low point."
Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan says he's officially switched parties, leaving the GOP to join the Democrats. Duncan says the party's direction pushed him to make the change -- after years of criticizing Trump and cozying up to Democrats. Key Details: Duncan claimed there was "no line in the sand" when he flipped -- just a slow drift toward liberal policies and public posturing as a "reasonable" Republican. He blasted the GOP's approach to health care, gun rights, and immigration -- all while echoing Democrat talking points and praising Kamala Harris. Duncan was booted from the Georgia Republican Party after endorsing Harris and speaking at the DNC; now he says becoming a Democrat is about "loving his neighbor."Meahwhile, a black female North Carolina state representative changed her vote and joined with the GOP to overrule the governor's veto on a bill requiring sheriffs to contact ICE when they detained an illegal alien. Her fellow Democrats -- by which I mean "journalists" -- lined up to attack her.
Rep. Carla Cunningham, D-Mecklenburg, delivered a controversial speech on the North Carolina House floor during a veto override session Tuesday which raised eyebrows among some of her Democratic colleagues. North Carolina House Republicans needed one Democrat to help them override Gov. Josh Stein's veto of House Bill 318 -- a bill that would require sheriffs to call immigration officers before releasing someone who is undocumented. Cunningham, a Democrat, originally voted for the bill, before she decided to vote with Republicans to override Stein's veto. She gave a speech expressing why she changed her mind. "As a social scientist reports, all cultures are not equal," Cunningham said. "Some immigrants come and believe they can function in isolation, refusing to adapt." She added, "No country is going to allow people to come in and not acknowledge its constitution, legal systems and laws." Several Democratic lawmakers spoke out against Cunningham's remarks, including Charlotte State Senator Caleb Theodros. "This idea that, the comment was that there are some cultures beneath others, I'm paraphrasing here, I think is antithetical to everything we teach our kids," he said. Theodros did not say Cunningham should be replaced in her district, but he did say representatives need to speak out against, what he calls, "bad policy." "To see that come from Democrats is disheartening," he said. "Roughly 600,000 people are set to lose their healthcare in the next few years unless we do anything. That has nothing to do with the number of immigrants or a certain culture that's superior to another." Cunningham also voted with Republicans to override the veto on a bill that removes the state's goal to cut carbon emissions.The burn bags discovered in the FBI's secret vault also contained Epstein files material.
During an interview on "The Benny Johnson Show," Rep. Luna dropped a bombshell: "I'm asking [the FBI] directly who authorized this information to be placed in burn bags and what information they have about the former deputy director of the FBI destroying evidence pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein, which we know right now the FBI is actively investigating." She credited Johnson's program with kickstarting the inquiry. "It was your show that kinda tipped me off to follow up with one of those whistleblowers, and now that's a full-fledged investigation," Luna said.Intelligence officials had concerns about Tim Walz's close connections to communist China-- but for some reason this was never leaked. I wonder why.
Advertisement Johnson sought clarification. "You're confirming to us that the FBI has destroyed Epstein evidence?" he asked. "I'm confirming that there's an open investigation, and that the leads on your show resulted in them finding burn bags pertaining to Russiagate and potentially Epstein, yes," Luna replied.
Newly released Homeland Security group chat messages, obtained after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Judicial Watch, show outright glee from agency insiders at Washington's potential nightmare. "China is happy," one employee wrote on August 7, 2024, just a day after Harris announced Walz as her VP pick. The employee even linked a BBC News article detailing how China's internet celebrated Walz's validation. Another official immediately responded, pushing to bring in the FBI, the agency responsible for domestic counterintelligence, underlining the seriousness of the situation. These explosive lines reveal that Walz's ties to the Chinese Communist Party weren't mere suspicions but real and longstanding worries for intelligence operatives tasked with watching China's growing influence on American politics. The group chat belonged to a Homeland Security investigative team focused on "subnational engagement" by Chinese operatives with local U.S. officials, which means that they saw Walz less as a friend and more as a potential conduit to the corridors of power in D.C.

Governor Abbott has stated that anyone giving or taking money to help the runaway Texas representatives is guilty of bribery. He makes a good case: Bribery is defined as giving money to induce an official to either take an action or not take an action.
Soros and "Beto" are paying the Democrats to flee the state and not vote on the redistricting bill. They wouldn't be able to do this without the bribe money, and all of them are too selfish to pay themselves for their absconding. Ergo, the money paid to them is in fact a bribe to ensure they do not take an official action (voting) on public business. We'll see if Governor Abbott follows through, or if left-wing judges decide to redefine bribery to grant Democrats a special exemption. From the Texas Tribune:he expenses are mounting fast for the more than 50 Democrats in the Texas House who left the state Sunday to prevent the Republican-controlled chamber from having enough members to conduct business. Most lawmakers traveled to the Chicago area by way of a private plane from CommuteAir. They are now on the hook for lodging, meals and the $500-a-day fines they will each accrue for every day of the special session they miss. National Democratic organizations have been eager to pick up the tab for what they see as a last-ditch effort to stop a nationwide redistricting war that threatens to upend the 2026 midterms. O'Rourke's organization, armed with a $3.5 million war chest, has covered much of the costs so far -- including air transport, lodging and logistical support, a person involved with the fundraising said -- though other groups have been in the mix. Texas Majority PAC, a group backed by Democratic megadonor George Soros and formed by alums of O'Rourke's 2022 gubernatorial bid, is coordinating with national Democratic groups to solicit fundraising from the party's regular big-dollar donors, according to two people with knowledge of the internal dynamics.

But did she see Bill and Hillary doing anything concerning?
We don't know yet.During her nine hours speaking with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month, Ghislaine Maxwell said nothing during the interview that would be harmful to President Donald Trump, telling Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern, according to sources familiar with what Maxwell said. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is considering publicly releasing the transcripts from the interview, multiple sources familiar with the internal discussions told ABC News. Maxwell's meetings with Blanche took place for nine hours over two days.Blanche asked about 100 different people possibly involved with Epstein. That probably includes DOJ officials and AGs who gave him the velvet glove treatment.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking minors, stemming from her role in Epstein's criminal network. Despite her conviction, her legal team has filed an appeal, arguing jury misconduct and trial irregularities. As part of this process, Maxwell has engaged with DOJ officials and, according to her attorney David Markus, has "not held anything back." Markus also noted that Maxwell was questioned about "one hundred different people," but did not disclose who else was discussed. While much of the mainstream press continues to speculate about Trump's past connections to Epstein, Maxwell's direct exoneration in this DOJ interview stands in stark contrast to the media narrative. Her remarks reportedly included "nothing harmful to the president," offering further weight to Trump's repeated denials of wrongdoing. President Trump addressed the matter briefly this week, saying he had no prior knowledge of the DOJ meeting with Maxwell or her recent transfer from a Florida correctional facility to a prison in Texas. "I didn't know about it at all, no," Trump said. "I read about it just like you did. It's not a very uncommon thing." In an interview with Newsmax's Rob Finnerty last week, Trump reiterated his openness to transparency, stating he wants to "release everything" while cautioning against unnecessary harm: "I don't want people to get hurt." In a significant move, the Trump administration is now reportedly considering whether to publicly release the full transcripts of the Maxwell interview, potentially as early as this week. An audio recording also exists, though it remains unclear whether it will be made available alongside the transcripts.I've been wondering lately if people Trump considers friends and political allies are mentioned in the "Epstein files," and that's what's bothering him. He says he doesn't want innocent people to "get hurt." I imagine he's not worrying about the Clintons or the Ghost of Bill Richardson there.

I think Trump will be proud to take credit, but the truth seems to be that the former "King of All Media" has terrible ratings and hasn't been relevant for decades.
Stern, who apparently takes the entire summer off -- are you kidding me? -- is wondering if he should retire. He had fifteen good years in his fifty year career, and they were all thirty years ago.Sure, he's thinking about other people's feelings. That is just Classic Stern (TM).
Legendary radio host Howard Stern faces an uncertain future at SiriusXM as his five-year, $500 million contract winds down, according reports. The 71-year-old shock jock would be open to a short-term contract if the price is right, but he's also considering calling it quits with SiriusXM, as first reported by the Sun. "He may do a one- to two-year contract if they can meet him where he wants financially. He doesn't want to pull the plug on his employees like this," one source told the Daily Mail.
Reportedly, this vain, ugly ghoul is upset that SiriusXM has another big "star" (is anyone on Serius really a "star"?) and he's not top dog.
"He is off in the summer but this year has been saying 'Maybe I should retire,'" another source told the outlet.
Oh dear, I never would have suspected that Stern was driven by both greed and petty vanity. Shocked! I'm shocked, I say.
The insider noted that Stern is irritated with SiriusXM's reliance on competing radio star Andy Cohen. Another source said Stern is even thinking about "parting ways" with SiriusXM.
... The host's reputation has flip-flopped over the years between being regarded as an awe-inspiring dominator who could pry anything out of any guest and an out-of-touch has-been.Well, it "flipped." It never flopped back. You need the flopping part for a flip-flop.
That's not a "fluctuation," that is an absolute collapse. Again, a fluctuation requires the flux to go back the other way. If you don't have the flow back to the previous condition, what you've got yourself right there is a simple collapse. Does anyone in the written media know how to write? Do they know what words mean? Sirius and Stern stopped releasing Stern's ratings in 2020. Stern has always bragged about his ratings more than even Donald Trump, so if the ratings are now an absolute corporate secret, they're terrible. ThatParkPlace says that Sirius no longer believes he's worth the $100/year investment. In other words, their reportage is more that Sirius wants done with Stern, unlike the NY Post report which claims Stern is making the decision to retire entirely of his own volition.
Stern has struggled to clarify his identity over the last few years while insisting that he is "woke" and simultaneously doing layup interviews with people like former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris despite leaning Republican earlier in his storied career. ... Stern's show doesn't pull in nearly as many listeners as it used to, especially compared to Cohen's two channels. Stern's program has fluctuated from 20 million daily to just 125,000 of late.
ThatParkPlace reports that Sirius' real offer is a much smaller deal to retain the rights to Stern's archives of old shows, while no longer paying him for his new, unfunny crap. Stern has proclaimed he "hates" Trump voters -- aka his prior audience.
Sources indicate that The Howard Stern Show is set to be canceled on SiriusXM as the shock jock's lucrative contract approaches its expiration this fall. The 71-year-old radio icon, who has been a cornerstone of the satellite radio platform since 2006, may not see his five-year deal renewed amid reports of financial disagreements and shifting priorities at the company. According to insights shared with multiple outlets, SiriusXM is preparing an offer for Stern but does not anticipate him accepting it, primarily due to insurmountable gaps in salary negotiations. Stern's current contract, reportedly valued at around $100 million annually, has been a benchmark for high-profile media deals, but insiders claim the investment no longer aligns with the company's economic realities. "Sirius and Stern are never going to meet on the money he is going to want," an insider source claimed. "It's no longer worth the investment." ... Cost-cutting appears to be a driving force behind the decision that could lead to Howard Stern being canceled. SiriusXM, facing broader industry challenges, has been reevaluating high-ticket talent contracts. One could easily point to parallels to recent changes in late-night television, noting, "After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it's like they just can't afford to keep him going." This sentiment echoes reports of SiriusXM's reluctance to sustain Stern's salary, with sources emphasizing, "There's no way they can keep paying his salary." Adding another layer, Stern's outspoken political views may be influencing the negotiations. A vocal critic of President Donald Trump, Stern has used his platform to mock conservative figures and hosted Vice President Kamala Harris for an interview ahead of the 2024 election--a move that drew backlash from Republicans. "It's more likely everything to do with the political climate," another source suggested, implying that Stern's "woke" shift could be a factor in the company's hesitance. ... SiriusXM has ceased releasing Stern's ratings since 2020, reportedly due to a significant decline in listenership, with critics attributing this erosion to his increasingly "woke" persona and overt political commentary. This mirrors broader trends where outspoken anti-Trump celebrities encounter backlash, including audience boycotts and financial repercussions, as seen with figures like Stephen Colbert.
Ba-ba-booey bye-bye. Stern's downfall began with his divorce and his hosting gig on America's Got Talent. Before his divorce, Stern seemed like an everyman. He would moan about being tempted and tantalized by the parade of naked women in the studio, and would faux-pray to God to keep him from committing adultery: "Please God don't let me cheat, I love my wife, I love my money." Then he divorced his wife to get some younger strange and everyone realized "Oh he's just a media douchebag like the rest of them." But the real killer was America's Got Talent. I got a couple of free trial subscriptions to SiriusXM with a couple of purchases. I listened to Stern, of course. And what I heard was him endlessly rehashing his time on America's Got Talent, which I did not watch and would not watch, for hours and hours and hours. Just when I would think "He can't possibly talk about this single one hour episode of crap reality TV any more this week," he would once again launch into "behind the scenes" revelations about the show -- all of which were fake revelations, because at this point he was the ultimate Hollywood Kiss-Ass and had nothing but praise for celebrities. I stopped listening after a day or two, even though my trial was for two weeks or so. The next time I got a free trial subscription -- he was yapping endlessly about America's Got Talent again. And that was the last time I ever listened to him. His "mainstream media success" (on a crappy rip-off reality tv show) led him to just becoming the absolute worse kind of shill for Hollywood and the left. The ugly nerdy pervert kid was allowed in the cool kid's club -- sort of, he was allowed to skulk at the periphery -- and made pleasing them his only mission.
In 2024, Stern declared he "hates" Trump voters, calling them "stupid" and questioning their intelligence. He said he didn't mind losing half his listeners if Trump supporters stopped listening to his show. Stern claimed Trump "despises" his own supporters, suggesting they wouldn't fit in at Mar-a-Lago. Following the 2024 election, Stern expressed fear that America wasn't ready to elect a woman president like Kamala Harris, implying Trump's victory reflected societal biases. In 2023, Stern embraced his "woke" label, affirming he is anti-Trump.

We were told during the Biden prosecutions that no mercy whatsoever should be shown if you even suspect someone might be involved in a crime.
California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff is reportedly under federal criminal investigation over alleged mortgage fraud tied to misrepresented property records. According to Fox News, the probe centers on claims Schiff declared multiple homes as his "primary residence" to secure favorable mortgage terms on government-backed loans. Key Details: The U.S. Attorney's Office in Maryland is conducting the investigation, according to a source who spoke to Fox News. The probe follows a criminal referral from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) alleging that Schiff falsified property documents and occupancy claims. Schiff and his wife reportedly claimed a home in Potomac, Maryland, as their "primary residence" on multiple Fannie Mae loan documents -- despite Schiff representing California in Congress during the same time period and taking a homeowner's tax exemption in Burbank, California. FHFA officials believe Schiff may have violated multiple federal statutes, including wire fraud, bank fraud, and false statements to financial institutions, by allegedly misrepresenting property use to obtain lower mortgage rates. ... Schiff's office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
Dan Scavino Jr.Let justice be done and let it be cruel.
@DanScavino Imagine patriotically and proudly serving in the first Trump White House for four years, and departing in January of 2021 . . . Then, during the four years you're out, BIDEN LAWFARE kicks in, and you receive the below email five weeks before re-entering the White House again in January 2025... "Google received and responded to a legal process issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation compelling the release of information related to your Google account. A court order previously prohibited Google from notifying you of the legal process..." I've never shared this--but this is a small taste of the INSANITY that many of us went through--right here in the United States of America. LAWFARE at its finest. A Complete and Total Disgrace!!!!!

The "Youths" Beat Him Mercilessly
"BigBalls" proved his screenname was not idly chosen:

MikeAnd now Trump is giving DC an ultimatum: Lock down the zoo you call a city or I'll do it for you.
@MikeZ_TXVet82 Former D.O.G.E. staffer known as Big Balls is being called a Hero after he was assaulted over the weekend by a gang of 8 to 10 teens as he was protecting his female companion during an attempted carjacking in Washington, D.C.
He is recovering from a broken nose, a concussion, and a black eye.
We wish him a speedy recovery.
President Trump warned Tuesday that Washington, D.C., could face federal takeover if city leaders fail to address rising youth crime. Calling the capital "out of control," Trump said he would have "no choice" but to intervene unless the city starts prosecuting violent juveniles as adults. Key Details: In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump slammed DC's crime crisis, demanding minors as young as 14 be tried as adults and "locked up for a long time." The post included a graphic image of a man reportedly beaten by teens -- later identified as Edward Coristine, a former DOGE employee who intervened in an attempted assault and was attacked. DC has imposed curfews and other measures, but juvenile crime remains rampant, with the city's youth arrest rate nearly double the national average. Diving Deeper: President Trump on Tuesday renewed his call to bring Washington, D.C., under federal control, citing what he called an "out of control" crime wave being driven by violent juveniles. "Local 'youths' and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16-years-old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens," Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that these teens act with impunity because "they will be almost immediately released." "If D.C. doesn't get its act together," Trump warned, "we will have no choice but to take Federal control of the City." The president's post included an image of a young man bleeding from the face after reportedly being assaulted by teens -- an incident that now appears to involve Edward Coristine, a former staffer at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to a police report obtained by the New York Post, Coristine was downtown with his girlfriend Sunday morning when a group of juveniles approached them and reportedly "made a comment about taking the vehicle." Coristine pushed the woman into the car to shield her, the report says, before confronting the teens himself. He was then assaulted. Officers arrived while the beating was still in progress and arrested two minors. Elon Musk also weighed in, calling Coristine "a hero" and blaming the city's leadership for the rise in lawlessness. Trump's push comes amid growing frustration in the capital over youth violence. "We are seeing kids as young as nine and ten getting involved in carjackings," said Councilmember Robert White Jr. at a public town hall earlier this year. "It's not just isolated incidents. It's systemic." Mayor Muriel Bowser has tried to curb the violence by instituting an 11 p.m. curfew for minors, with even earlier restrictions in high-crime areas. But with Washington's juvenile arrest rate nearly twice the national average -- roughly 2,235 arrests annually between 2016 and 2022 -- critics say the problem is far from solved. Trump previously floated the idea of a federal takeover in February, telling reporters aboard Air Force One, "I think we should take over Washington, D.C. -- make it safe."

Had this bomb and then the one on Nagasaki three days later not been used, there is no doubt in my mind that I and for sure many of you would likely never have been born as our fathers would have likely been shoved into the meat grinder to end all meat grinders. That is invasions of the Japanese home islands and the continued strategic bombing campaign that likely would have resulted in the death of at least a couple million soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors over the ensuing months or even years until the Japanese had been forced to surrender or the nascent political class in DC just unilaterally declared the war over to preserve their political hides. The lives of the average GI being not so much of a concern. Stay tuned for Korea, Vietnam and the GWOT. Beyond that, despite the couple hundred thousand Japanese lives the atomic bombs took, an invasion and/or blockade of the islands with the continued bombing campaign of LeMay's 20th Air Force to make the rubble bounce, along with the arming of the populace with everything from suicide vests to sharpened sticks to face off against a US invasion force, would have killed millions of Japanese. The atom bombs in the end saved many more lives, Japanese and American, than they cost. This is an inarguable fact.
In any case, though this only comes around once a year, it is a bit irritating to have to repeat it. That said, there are a few other stories of note that seem to be happening on a much more frequent basis that are equally irritating and even more disgusting to me that I have to keep reporting on it. But as a great American once said "Deeze are da conditions dat prevail."
An arsonist attacked an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office in Washington state over the weekend, throwing a rock through a window and lighting a fire on the property. The unidentified arsonist targeted an ICE field office in Yakima, Washington, about 140 miles away from Seattle. Federal agents, the Department of Homeland Security says, managed to escape from the attack unscathed. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin slammed Democrat politicians for their incendiary rhetoric against ICE agents, accusing them of contributing to the surge in violence against the federal law enforcement force. “Make no mistake, Democrat politicians like Hakeem Jeffries, Mayor Wu of Boston, Tim Walz, and Mayor Bass of Los Angeles are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and demonization of ICE,” McLaughlin charged. “From comparisons to the modern-day Nazi Gestapo to glorifying rioters, the violent rhetoric of these sanctuary politicians is beyond the pale.”
While rhetoric may light the fuse, who is behind the supplying of the gasoline, the bottles and the fuses in the first place? Recall that Chlamydia Harris herself and several other key Democrat politicians had funded bail and legal defense of Antifa and BLM rioters during the 2020 Summer of Love Floyd riots-cum-insurrection to destabilize America in the months leading up to the elections. Along with the Covid lockdowns and evisceration of any semblance of election integrity with mail-in ballots and all the fraud that that allowed on top of the Russian collusion hoax that at long last is being brought into the light for all the world to see. Meanwhile, as Texas Democrats relax beneath the shade of J.B. Pritzker's gunt, we have this to contend with:
Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) told a meeting of foreign Latinos in Mexico, “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American,” and the Department of Homeland Security wants citizens to see her confession of foreign loyalty.Call me old fashioned, but is this not an open abrogation of one's oath as both an American citizen and as an elected official. Adding insult to injury is the fact that she opened her filthy sewer in Mexico. The DoJ, DHS or whichever agency is appropriate should move to immediately strip her of her citizenship and have her deported back to Guatemala since that is where she wants to be. Not that I'd blame President Arévalo in the least if he resisted her repatriation. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know. Have a great day!

Classic Horror FilmsI remember staring at that photo in a book about "real ghosts" in elementary school. Just last week some video was released showing a poltergeist, or "angry ghost," which appeared on the stage and spoke in tongues. Bunny absolutely DESTROYS agility course. I assume. I have no basis for comparison. To be honest this bunny might have just posted rookie numbers and I wouldn't be the wiser. Road thug robs local priests. Birds instinctively peck out a fire. Baby rhino defends his mom.

I'd hate to have to sit next to this one-ton Tommy. You can only push a puppy so far before he fights back.
Cute puppy demands you respecc his dicc. This dog is ready for his Eyes Wide Shut sex orgy. "Bring the young one to me." Adorable puppy says this bed is my Love Gym. This puppy has his Gimp Mask on. He may look like a virgin, but make no mistake, this puppy fucks hard. Ass gas or grass, no one rides for free. Puppy says "While you're down there..." This dog is reflecting on his last nut.
