This is so pathetic. The big baby must be feeling down about his war. Nobody appreciates how great he is at war. So he needs a new shiny gold award to make him feel better. Don’t they realize how this looks? What kind of headspace are you in that you think this is how adults act in the real world? It’s truly mind-blowing.
War Criminal Hegseth has some odd, sadistic, ideas about prayer.
Unnamed chaplain, of course. I, for one, would love to know who this fictional military chaplain is so he can be booted out of at least the military.
These hardon Christians sure do get some orgiastic pleasure out of the violent imagery of the Old Testament, don’t they?
The “freedom tomato sauce missiles” will be flying!
640’s a great batting average, isn’t it?
Now the felon wants to permanently occupy the Moon.
Why not? He’s already diddled the Earth.
This one (and the FIFA Peace Prize) should be Onion headlines. Meanwhile, every time I see an Onion article now I find myself wishing they’d go back to doing satire. For example:
When exactly did America “give up” the moon? Does it belong to Trump now?
Unfiltered lunar sunlight has long since bleached the American flags planted onto the Moon white, therefore America implicitly surrendered the Moon many years ago. To the Sun, presumably.
The logic is undeniable!
He’s going to try to make the Moon the 51st state now, isn’t he?
Today, Kristi Noem had her first gig in her new capacity as “ambassador to the Shield of the Americas”, a meeting with the president of Guyana.
She brought her unemployed side-piece with her.
You may be right. There’s a bill that passed the Republican majority state senate to name a freeway after the bastard. It’s working its way through the house now.
“Designating Loop 202 ensures his contribution to civic engagement and public participation won’t be forgotten. Let this name stand as a daily reminder of the importance of promoting American ideals,” Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican from Gilbert who sponsored the bill, said in an email.
Another bill would have a specialty license plate that would send $17 a year to TPUSA. The article above says it would be a CK memorial plate but the actual bill says it, “Requires ADOT to issue a conservative grassroots network special plate.”
Right now the only individual with a specialty plate is Alice Cooper.
There is a scene in Schindler’s List that pretty well depicts that experience.
Isn’t there some treaty that states that the Moon cannot belong to any country on Earth? I seem to recall that there is, but I cannot remember its name.
Not that Trump pays a lot of attention to treaties, but still.
Like Rip van Simple cares about treaties. After all, those are laws.
As long he doesn’t look at her with puppy dog eyes, he’ll be okay.
Isn’t “Ambassador to the Shield of the Americas” a completely made-up position to a non-existent body?
It seems to me a little like, in the days of the USSR, being named “First Commissar to Tractor Factory No. 38,” when there was no commissar of any kind for the tractor factory before. Except in the USSR’s case, there actually was a Tractor Factory No. 38.
It’s sort of like being appointed Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds, or winning the First Annual Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
All I know is that if there is a treaty, I didn’t sign it, so if I get there next it’s mine.
Well, yes, kind of, and no, there isn’t really. It’s a short wikiarticle, in accordance with its relevance:
The Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, better known as the Moon Treaty or Moon Agreement, is a multilateral treaty that turns jurisdiction of all celestial bodies (including the orbits around such bodies) over to the participant countries. Thus, all activities would conform to international law, including the United Nations Charter.
It has not been ratified by any state that engages in self-launched human spaceflight (i.e., the United States, Russia (or its predecessor the Soviet Union), or the People’s Republic of China) since its creation on December 18, 1979, and thus it has little to no relevancy in international law. As of May 2024, 17 states are parties to the treaty.
Bolding mine.
ETA: There is also the Outer Space Treaty, that has been signed by the USA:
Negotiated and drafted under the auspices of the United Nations, it was opened for signature in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union on 27 January 1967, entering into force on 10 October 1967. As of October 2025, 118 countries are parties to the treaty—including all major spacefaring nations—and another 20 are signatories.
Key provisions of the treaty include prohibiting nuclear weapons in space; limiting the use of the Moon and all other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes; establishing that space shall be freely explored and used by all nations; and precluding any country from claiming sovereignty over outer space or any celestial body. Although it forbids establishing military bases, testing weapons and conducting military maneuvers on celestial bodies, the treaty does not expressly ban all military activities in space, nor the establishment of military space forces or the placement of conventional weapons in space.
Bolding mine again.
The Stranger: When you have prayed for victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which follow victory-must follow it, cannot help but follow it. Upon the listening spirit of God the Father fell also the unspoken part of the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!
“O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our hearts, go forth to battle-be Thou near them! With them, in spirit, we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with their little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it-for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.”
(After a pause)
Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits.
Pete Hegseth: FUCK YEAH!!! USA USA USA
Yes, and yes. The Shield of the Americas did not exist until Trump announced Noem was being moved to a nice farm out in the country to the role.
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.
