Pete Hegseth recites fake Bible verse from "Pulp Fiction" during Pentagon prayer service

Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth authorized the deployment of weapons-grade cringe during a Pentagon prayer service yesterday, quoting a "Bible verse" that film buffs will immediately recognize as Samuel L. Jackson's famous monologue in Quentin Tarantino's ultraviolent black comedy, "Pulp Fiction" — which is delivered just before Jackson's character murders an unarmed man in cold blood.

Hegseth, of course, is too myopic to recognize that the speech is satirizing men who hide behind religion in order to justify unholy acts of violence against their fellow men...which is exactly what mass murderer Hegseth himself is doing a daily basis. Nothing sums up the Trump regime's relationship with religion better than using fake Bible quotes to justify an illegal war of imperial aggression.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Senate Republicans screw themselves with shocking move
With the country mired in a deeply unpopular war entirely of Donald Trump's making, Senate Republicans were given the chance yesterday to reassert some semblance of congressional authority and rein in the president's imperial adventurism in Iran. Despite poll after poll showing Americans strongly disapproving of Trump's "little excursion" in the Middle East, every Republican not named Rand Paul declined to pass a resolution to prohibit our wannabe dictator from taking further military action without congressional approval.

Brian Tyler Cohen and Sen. Elizabeth Warren spell out exactly what this all means and the blowback Republicans can expect to face in the upcoming midterms.

Trump gets nightmare news as his top impeachment witness launches run for Senate
Alexander Vindman for Senate: Alexander Vindman made history as one of the star witnesses in the first impeachment case against Trump — and now he’s running for Senate so he can hold the wannabe dictator accountable from the halls of Congress. Vindman has vowed to take on "a Republican Party that’s failing to deliver accountability and underwriting chaos and corruption," but to win in Florida, he’s going to need some help. Can you chip in to help kick-start his run?

Trump posts more AI Jesus slop after furious backlash
Wait a second. That's not Jesus, that's clearly a DOCTOR! Why does he look so forlorn? Is something wrong? Are the test results back? Is he breaking bad news to the president about his failing health? Is Trump trying to tell us something?!

Democrats file articles of impeachment against Hegseth for "high crimes and misdemeanors"
House Democrats finally filed six articles of impeachment against Sec. of War Crimes Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, accusing him of "high crimes and misdemeanors," in reference to the ongoing attack on Iran without congressional authorization and deadly strikes on suspected drug smuggling boats, among other official acts. It's about damn time.

RFK Jr. once removed a dead raccoon’s penis to "study later" while his wife and kids waited in the car, book claims
If the stories told in New York Post journalist Isabel Vincent's new biography, RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise, are to be believed, you really do have to wonder at some point if RFK Jr.'s mission in life is to just retire the writing team at The Onion for good. According to Vincent, Kennedy wrote in a 2001 diary entry: "I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be. My kids waited patiently in the car." Beyond parody.

Oscar Wilde famously wrote, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life," but no one could've foreseen it being taken to these extremes.

Pentagon approaches US automakers to help make weapons as wars deplete stocks, report claims
The same administration that has spent the past year promising America had the biggest, baddest, most beautiful military the world has ever seen is now running so low on bombs and whatnot that the Pentagon is apparently asking automakers if they could press pause on making cars and trucks and instead pivot to war machinery.

The last time the US military needed this kind of emergency manufacturing assistance Hitler was still alive, and we're only 47 days into Donald Trump's “little excursion” in Iran. All this on top of the $1.5 TRILLION Trump is requesting for next year’s Pentagon budget AND the extra $200 billion he wants this year to pay for his current quagmire. Any questions?

New York drops the ball on landmark climate legislation
Evergreen Action: In 2019, New York passed one of the most ambitious climate laws in the country, setting bold targets to achieve 100% clean electricity, reduce emissions by 85%, and invest in more affordable, reliable energy. But intense lobbying from Big Oil is fueling efforts to weaken this historic law. Will you add your name to demand New York legislators protect the climate law and propel us to a cleaner, more affordable energy future?

Trump's new DOJ toady SLAMS shut the Epstein case

LOTS OF POSTS IGNORED BY BLOGGER.....

BREAKING: US and Iran reportedly reach "in principle agreement" to extend ceasefire

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Trump's acting attorney general issues shocking announcement
Former Trump criminal defense lawyer and acting Attorney General Todd Blanche just announced with the wave of a very large imaginary wand that — poof! — ALL Epstein files have already been released and the matter, as far as he is concerned, is closed. This just days after Melania Trump called on Congress to hold public hearings for Epstein's victims to come forward and testify.

Intrepid observers will note that, at the time of former Attorney General Pam Bondi's firing, we were still waiting on THREE MILLION more documents to be released. Just guessing Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie and their allies in the House will have a slightly different take on the matter.

JD Vance says the pope should "be careful" how he discusses theology
Fake hillbilly JD Vance stopped by a Turning Point USA gathering in Georgia yesterday and lectured Pope Leo XIV on how he, the Vicar of Christ, should publicly discuss theology. Seriously. This, from the guy whose upcoming memoir about his highly publicized conversion to Catholicism, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, mistakenly features a random Methodist church in rural Virginia on the cover utterly disconnected from his current faith or his Pentecostal upbringing in Ohio.

Looking forward to other exciting, upcoming lectures from the guy voted "Most Likely to Become an Adult Hall Monitor" in high school, including telling Caitlin Clark how to better shoot a basketball and instructing Artemis IV astronauts exactly how they should land on the Moon in 2028.

Take Action: Tell Congress to protect our voting rights and REJECT Trump's takeover of our elections!

MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson's House majority is down to just TWO VOTES
Flip the House: We have a very real opportunity to flip the House and finally put some clamps on Donald Trump's reign of terror and chaos this November, but it's not going to be easy. Trump has made it clear that there's nothing he won't do to tip the scales in his favor, so we need to win by a decisive enough majority to thwart his inevitable shenanigans. We've put together a donation page that will split any gifts between a group of Democratic candidates all locked in close, winnable House races, and every dollar might mean the difference between democracy or fascism. Will you chip in to help retake our country and stop Trump in his tracks?

GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune says Senate GOP "prepared" to fill potential Supreme Court vacancy
Oh, no. Not again. Senate Republicans are making contingency plans to replace Justice Samuel Alito with...dear God, this can't be right...TED CRUZ? Or fellow Senate gasbag Mike Lee? Rumors about a strategic Alito retirement before the next elections — in hindsight, the very move the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Democrats really should have considered before the 2016 election — are swirling, and Senate Majority Leader Thune is already preparing to ram through another insufferable, right-wing extremist before they lose bigly in November. Winning the Senate just got a lot more important, and it was already practically a matter of life and death for our democracy.

Take Action: Stop Trump's warrantless surveillance of the American people!

California woman says she was raped by Rep. Eric Swalwell in 2018
A California woman on Tuesday said she was raped by Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell in 2018 and now plans to make a report to law enforcement. Lonna Drewes said during a news conference that the assault occurred at a hotel in Southern California. She said she had one glass of wine that evening and believes Swalwell drugged her before raping her. Swalwell dropped out of the California governor’s race on Sunday and officially resigned from Congress yesterday following earlier allegations of sexual assault from a different woman and other credible claims of sexual misconduct.

Drewes said she did not undergo a rape kit but disclosed the alleged assault to people close to her and documented it in her journal. She said she also discussed the alleged rape during therapy sessions at a sexual assault center in Connecticut. Attorney Lisa Bloom said those journal entries, along with text messages and photographs, will be included in the forthcoming report to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

Toddler forced back into ICE detention after nearly dying
In today's episode of Making America Unspeakably Cruel Again, we bring you the story of 18-month-old Amelia, who arrived at a Texas immigration "processing center" in December a healthy toddler, then spent weeks fighting off a raging fever while her own mother sought help at the facility's clinic on no less than eight separate occasions before her concerns were finally addressed.

At that point, Amelia's blood-oxygen levels — which should hover between 95 and 100 percent for a healthy person — had crashed into the low 50s, a level so catastrophically low it can cause permanent brain damage. Amelia was eventually transported to a hospital in San Antonio, where she spent the next 10 days in intensive care fighting off COVID, RSV, bronchitis, pneumonia, and an ear infection.

Upon discharge, Amelia and her mother were sent right back to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center that sickened her in the first place — without Amelia's birth certificate, her vaccination records, the nebulizer medication doctors had prescribed her, or the bag of clean clothes a nurse had given the pair, because, well, abject cruelty IS the point. Isn't it good to be great again?

Dr. Oz reveals Trump's alarming Diet Coke delusion
Donald says Diet Coke wards off cancer. His reasoning? If you pour his beverage of choice on a plot of grass, it kills it. Ergo, it must have the same effect on cancer. Other substances known to effectively kill grass include: bleach, RoundUp, acetic acid, rubbing alcohol, and drain cleaners. No word on whether or not the man in charge of the world's most lethal nuclear arsenal has ever given any of those alternatives a try.

Trump posts AI-generated image of a golden Trump Tower on the Moon

Nearly half of Americans hold some form of vaccine skepticism, poll finds
Human rock tumbler and anti-vaccine quack Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is unfortunately winning his war against science, a huge loss for the rest of humanity. Buckle up for a bumpy ride, folks. With an astounding 46% of Americans believing that "facts on vaccines are still up for debate and it is damaging to enforce their uptake," it sure looks like highly infectious and formerly eradicated diseases are set for major comebacks. At least we all have quality, affordable, comprehensive health insurance to fall back on when the next epidemic strikes! Shit, wait.
