She really has his number.
All true. They know very well how poisonous he is.
So long as they make money, they don’t care, e.g. the Trump brothers and their golden smart phone. I wonder if they had to pay Pops a licensing fee.
Pretty clever of the old fart to set this up so they take the heat for the scam.

Looks like the FBI has its own “Payback Squad,” contrived from among the bootlickers, specifically to investigate Trump’s innumerable ‘enemies:’

The Navy could run out of money by July.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle warned members of Congress at a budget hearing for the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense about the service’s impending budget crunch, amid the current rate of operations in the Middle East.
“I will have to start making decisions to change training, operations, certification events, those type of things we do to generate our force, in the July timeframe and their current expenditure,” Caudle said.

Musk blows off judge to lap doge for the felon.
Elon Musk traveled to China with President Donald Trump this week, despite his ongoing trial over his lawsuit with OpenAI and a federal judge’s order that he remain at the ready to be recalled to testify at short notice.
The trial is for a lawsuit that Musk filed against artificial intelligence startup OpenAI. Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, alleges that the company has betrayed its original nonprofit mission by creating a for-profit arm. He testified in the trial in Oakland, California, over three days last month.
Before Musk left the witness stand April 30, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers asked the parties if there was any reason to hold Musk in “recall status,” meaning that he should be available to testify again if called upon to do so. OpenAI lawyers said, “Yes.” The judge instructed him: “OK, Mr. Musk, you are not excused, but you can leave for the day.”
But Musk is now in China with Trump on a state visit .
Two sources familiar with the matter told NBC News that Musk didn’t obtain permission from the judge before leaving the country and was still subject to recall as a witness.
Yet another cabinet member ignores the First Amendment.
A new federal lawsuit accuses Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins of proselytizing federal employees by frequently invoking Jesus Christ in work emails.
The National Federation of Federal Employees and a group of seven USDA employees filed the lawsuit in California, accusing Rollins of violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
“Secretary Rollins’s practice and policy of subjecting agency employees to proselytizing messages conveys the expectation that USDA employees share in the Secretary’s religious beliefs, even when doing so would betray an employee’s own beliefs,” the lawsuit said. “It is exactly the sort of government-sponsored religious coercion, religious sermonizing, and denominational preference that the Establishment Clause prohibits.”
The complaint listed a series of emails sent by Rollins to commemorate recent holidays, including crediting “gratitude towards a loving God” in her Thanksgiving email, writing that “God gave us the greatest gift possible” in her Christmas email, and describing the story of Jesus’ resurrection as the “greatest story ever told” in her Easter email. Rollins only acknowledged Christian holidays, according to the complaint.
The US government agencies together have been called alphabet soup thanks to all the acronyms. Thanks to Patel, the US government’s version should have $ and ¢ instead of letters.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) notified acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday that as part of a House Judiciary Committee investigation of institutional fraud and abuse, he is now digging into millions of dollars allegedly paid out to FBI agents who had been suspended, fired or had their security clearances revoked, including at least one agent who was in a restricted area at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
In a letter thoroughly detailing the allegations, Raskin claims the committee has learned from multiple sources that the DOJ ordered the FBI to shell out “massive settlements to nearly a dozen FBI employees who were disciplined and suspended for gross violations of FBI policy and federal law.”
The agent who was at the Capitol received a settlement of $63,500 plus backpay to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though he was not eligible for it.
Another agent flagged by Raskin allegedly refused to investigate the white nationalist group Patriot Front, had his security clearance revoked and was then fired. The agent “later admitted to accepting commercial *** while on an official assignment overseas,” Raskin wrote Tuesday, but was “amazingly” reinstated once Kash Patel became director. Raskin says this agent was paid “several hundred thousand dollars.”
Is he a liar’s liar or just an amnesiac like his owner boss? (The formatting is from the original.)
Vice President JD Vance told a reporter on Wednesday that he didn’t “think” President Donald Trump said a specific quote when asked to react to it. CNN quickly picked up on the odd moment and ran clips of Trump making the comment and Vance denying its existence.
“When approaching the war with Iran, do you agree with the president’s position that Americans’ financial situations should not be a consideration in that decision-making process?” asked NBC News White House Correspondent Monica Alba at a presser.
“Well, I don’t think the president said that. I think that’s a misrepresentation of what the president said, but look, I agree with the president that Iran should not have a nuclear weapon,” Vance replied
It’s contagious!
Republicans tried to go to bat for President Donald Trump on Tuesday after he said he doesn’t think about Americans’ “financial situations” as a factor in talks to end his unpopular Iran war .
“Did he say that?” asked Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) when confronted with the president’s remarks by MeidasTouch’s Pablo Manríquez in a clip reposted on his X account .
Groundhog Day, 1600 Pennsylvania edition!
“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Monday aired a supercut of President Donald Trump repeatedly telling reporters he has a “very simple plan” when it comes to his war in Iran.
Trump “said few words but so many times,” Colbert noted before playing a montage showing the president making roughly the same claim six times in seven minutes during remarks at the White House.
According to the timestamp, Trump first used the phrase at 11:36 a.m. and repeated it again for the final time at 11:43 a.m.
“Oh yes, he has such a simple plan,” Colbert joked. “In fact, the only thing simpler than the plan is the man who has it.”
Do what I say or your people die.
JD Vance has threatened to “turn off” federal funding for government health insurance programs in states that refuse to comply with the Trump administration ’s crackdown on suspected fraud.
States which fail to “get serious” about fraud would lose Medicaid and Medicare funding, the US vice-president announced on Wednesday, sparking fresh accusations that Trump officials are using unfounded allegations to punish political rivals.
Nah, he’s not an authoritarian. Yeah, right.
President Donald Trump set off alarm bells on Monday with comments about loyalty to Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) during a White House event announcing the new Moms.gov resource for new and expectant mothers, which itself has drawn controversy over some of its content.
Trump credited the Alabama Republican with persuading him to support the initiative, saying, “she’s the one that got me” into backing the resource.
But he then added, “I hope she always remains loyal to me so I can continue to support her.”
Britt replied, “You’ve got it. You’ve got it. You’ve got it.”
Trump continued: “I would hate to go against her. That will never happen, Katie, right?”
Britt, who previously went viral in 2024 for her widely mocked response to then-President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, responded, “That’s right, sir.”

Trump’s remarks quickly sparked criticism online.
“Trump literally just publicly threatened to go against Sen. Katie Britt unless she stays ‘loyal to me.’ We’re living in an autocracy,” one commenter wrote.
“This is stuff you only hear in authoritarian countries,” another added.
Troops at polling stations not off the table.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday refused to close the door on sending federalized National Guard soldiers or Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to voting sites in Democratic areas during the November midterm elections despite the complete lack of legal basis for doing so.
The president was pressed on whether he’d try to send federal resources to intimidate voters as he departed the White House for a state visit to China. Asked whether he’d send National Guard or ICE to voting locations, Trump replied: “I do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections.”
Speaking of Groundhog Day, here’s the DHS version.
An Alabama construction worker who is suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after he was arrested twice last year, despite being a U.S. citizen, was shackled and detained by federal immigration officers for a third time earlier this month, according to court documents.
In a declaration filed in federal court, Leo Garcia Venegas said he was parking in front of his house in Silverhill, Alabama, on the morning of May 2 when an unmarked SUV blocked him in. Venegas claimed that before he could hand his Alabama-issued REAL ID to the two federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers who approached him, they pulled him out of the truck he was driving and handcuffed him.
What makes the incident extraordinary is that Venegas is the lead plaintiff in a class-action lawsuit challenging DHS’ immigration enforcement policies , and it was the third time he’s been handcuffed and detained by ICE agents. Venegas was detained twice in 2025 during raids on private construction sites where he was working, even though he had a REAL ID identifying him as a U.S. citizen.
The Institute for Justice, a libertarian-leaning public-interest law firm, filed a class-action lawsuit last October on behalf of Venegas and other construction workers seeking to stop “dragnet raids” that target Latinos without any probable cause besides their ethnicity. Venegas and the Institute for Justice argue that DHS policies allow immigration agents to illegally raid private construction sites, detain workers without reasonable suspicion, and continue detaining them even after they offer evidence of citizenship or legal status.
Jared McClain, an Institute for Justice attorney, says that Venegas’ third detention “shows that federal officers are enforcing immigration laws in the unconstitutional way we alleged in our lawsuit.”
“It’s arrest first, ask questions later,” McClain continues. “These aren’t the brief investigatory stops based on individualized suspicion that the Supreme Court has allowed.”
And he’s back to blathering about making Venezuela the 51st state.
President Donald Trump has blatantly mapped out the latest country he wants as the 51st state of the U.S.
Trump, 79, posted a provocative graphic on his Truth Social account on Tuesday, while en route to China for a high-stakes summit with President Xi Jinping. The map depicted Venezuela with an inset American flag and the caption “51st State.”
The colorful post comes a day after Trump told Fox News he was considering making the South American nation part of the U.S.
Just got off the phone with @realDonaldTrump … he told me he is seriously considering a move to make Venezuela the 51st state,” John Roberts of Fox’s America Reports posted on X on Monday morning.
His Fox colleague, Bill Melugin, also posted on X, noting that Trump also said “there is $40 trillion in oil there and ‘Venezuela loves Trump.’”
Venezuela’s acting President Delcy Rodríguez responded to Trump’s desires by stating that her country had no plans to become the 51st state.
Maybe Ka$h Patel just wanted to get up close and personal with the “suckers and losers” interred on that solemn, august, iconic ship:
When Kash Patel visited Hawaii last summer, the FBI took pains to note the director was not on vacation, highlighting his walking tour of the bureau’s Honolulu field office and meetings with local law enforcement.
Left out of FBI’s news releases was an exclusive excursion that Patel took days later when he participated in what government officials described as a “VIP snorkel” around the USS Arizona in an outing coordinated by the military. The sunken battleship entombs more than 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.
All a coincidence, citizen. Move along; there is nothing to see here.

The felon always is the disturbance in the Force.
Chinese security officials allegedly blocked an armed U.S. Secret Service agent from entering an event on Thursday during President Donald Trump’s visit to the country, according to media members on the ground.
A Secret Service agent was reportedly blocked from entering Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to Beijing’s Temple of Heaven with their weapon on Thursday, according to reporters. The incident triggered an alleged “intense standoff ” that delayed entry to the venue for over a half-hour due to heated discussions.
“We’ve seen several intense confrontations since being here,” wrote a Telegraph correspondent on X of the situation.
And another one rides off into the scandalous sunset!
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks abruptly resigned Thursday, telling Fox News , “It’s just time.”
Banks reportedly told Fox News that he “got the ship back on course” during his tenure.
His departure, effective immediately, comes amid allegations he regularly traveled abroad to solicit *** workers, reportedly bragging about the conduct to Border Patrol colleagues, according to a Washington Examiner report.
An investigation into his alleged conduct was terminated while Kristi Noem oversaw the Department of Homeland Security.
The Washington Examiner spoke with six current and former Border Patrol employees who said Banks traveled to Colombia and Thailand to solicit *** workers there.
“I don’t know how he became the chief of the Border Patrol with his character,” one agent told the outlet on condition of anonymity. “He’s going to third-world countries to take advantage of poor ******* women, which disgusts the hell out of me.”
So, another pedophile, that is not trans, but is a Republican and in Trump’s government.
I don’t get the asterisks. Does the word “sex” give HuffPost the vapors? (I presume that’s the first word). And what about the other word? I have no idea what it could be.

I used the wrong word there. I wouldn’t be a whit surprised if it were transgender . And, yes, I do know the difference.
Seven asterisks, which would suggest seven letters, since the three-asterisk words are clearly a three-letter word: “sex.” I suspect the hidden word is “fucking.”
I can’t wait for episode 2 to end in 2028. So far it has been a shit show. One star, would not recommend.
Somebody apparently explained the Thucydides trap that Xi talked about to Trump. But, of course, he says that Xi wasn’t talking about his America. Oh, no. Xi was talking about Biden’s declining nation. Yeah, that’s totally what Xi meant.
When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, and on that score, he was 100% correct. Our Country suffered immeasurably with open borders, high taxes, transgender for everybody, men in women’s sports, DEI, horrible trade deals, rampant crime, and so much more!
President Xi was not referring to the incredible rise that the United States has displayed to the world during the 16 spectacular months of the Trump Administration, which includes all-time high stock markets and 401K’s, military victory and thriving relationship in Venezuela, the military decimation of Iran (to be continued!) — Strongest military on earth by far, economic powerhouse again, with a record 18 trillion dollars being invested into the United States by others, best U.S. job market in history, with more people working in the United States right now than ever before, ending country destroying DEI, and so many other things that it would be impossible to readily list. In fact, President Xi congratulated me on so many tremendous successes in such a short period of time.
Two years ago, we were, in fact, a Nation in decline. On that, I fully agree with President Xi! But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world, and hopefully our relationship with China will be stronger and better than ever before!
