Thursday! Thursday! Thursday! Under the chrome dome, the wild imaginings put to words!
In an upcoming speech this Thursday, President Donald Trump will reportedly reveal plans by foreign nations to interfere in the 2020 election.
The exact content of the speech is not yet known, but its claims will be based on declassified intelligence information, MS Now reports . The remarks could touch on a host of U.S. adversaries that intelligence officials have said sought to meddle in the 2020 election , including Russia, Iran and Venezuela , the latter of which is often cited in MAGA conspiracies .
The Independent has contacted the White House for comment.
On Monday, President Trump previewed the address with a brief message on Truth Social , describing it as a “Speech to the Nation” planned for 9 p.m. Eastern time.
Later Monday, Trump told reporters that his comments were “just gonna be a speech like a lot of my speeches.”
Do you know the absolute best way for any foreign nation to have our elections to be interfered with? Yep: do absolutely nothing. Just wait for the convicted felon to screw them up.
MTG, it pains me to say, is likely correct.
That last commenter needs to talk to the convicted felon in the White House.
But, hey, evidently, money cannot buy a pardon from the convicted felon either.
Boosie Badazz says he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in an effort to secure clemency from President Donald Trump, but is now alleging he was left with nothing in return.
According to a report, the Louisiana- born rapper, whose legal name is Torence Hatch, has filed legal action against political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman. He claims he paid the pair $600,000 last fall after they presented themselves as having a strong influence within Trump’s circle and the ability to help secure a pardon.
Donnie Two Scoops has a new participation trophy!
A giant satirical statue of a participation trophy appeared on Monday on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., mocking the Trump administration ’s continued stalemate in the Iran war .
“We hereby award President Donald J. Trump this participation trophy for his enthusiastic involvement in the Iran War,” a plaque on the statue reads. “While some concern themselves with military strategy, diplomacy, or measurable outcomes, President Trump demonstrated the courage to participate regardless of the final score.”
“As the recipient of this prestigious award, President Trump joins the ranks of children everywhere who received recognition for simply showing up,” the plaque continues.
The work, which encourages members of the public to leave their own trophies nearby, comes from Secret Handshake , an anonymous group of artists who have been installing prank statues in Washington throughout the administration.
Smaller trophies were seen scattered around the monument on Monday.
The Mirror has an interesting premonition.
President Donald Trump has weighed in on who should fill late South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham’s seat in the interim before a November election determines who will serve for the state, but some Fox News viewers were outraged by his choice.
Graham , 71, a staunch ally of Trump who was also revered for his ability to work in a bipartisan manner behind-the-scenes, died Saturday, July 11, in Washington D.C. He was reported to have suffered from a “brief and sudden illness” that was later determined to have been an aortic dissection.
His death reportedly came just hours after a phone call with the president , and days after his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump has since waded into the fray, sharing that he recommends the McMaster pick Graham’s sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to fill the seat.
“Oh lord! More insanity that Fox will try to normalize and gaslight us,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter), while another said, “Ol Trump nominating someone related to Graham. Peak republican fantasy.”
“What a joke Trump has become. Really? Nepotism as a solution? What are her qualifications? Unless of course she learned how to be a dishonorable, corrupt, deep state politician like her brother. Absurdity,” another fumed, while a fourth said, “In other words…f–k you South Carolina and who you want to replace him.”
Many others questioned the move because they weren’t sure if she was actually qualified for the job.

“Is she qualified or are we England and just follow bloodlines now?” a third asked, while a fourth wrote, “She’s an occupational professional who helps people with disabilities get jobs. While that’s admirable, that doesn’t mean she’s qualified to be a senator.”
Another slammed FOX and Trump for the pick and likely support of it, pointing out that if a Democrat like Joe Biden had made a similar suggestion, it would have been ridiculed.
Guess who got the job.
Rip van Simple’s war on the environment is back on.
President Donald Trump on Monday signed executive orders slashing two national monuments in Utah to roughly a tenth of their current size, throwing open millions of acres of protected land to fossil fuel extraction and mining.
Trump signed the proclamations at a White House gathering flanked by Republican officials including Utah’s governor and two senators, who framed the move as an overdue correction of federal overreach.
Birthright baby Rubio has a new plan.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday vowed to “dismantle” the International Criminal Court and urged other countries to join the effort as the Trump administration significantly escalates its campaign against the global institution.
Rubio accused the ICC of “waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles,” but with “the force of so-called international law.”
The administration’s ire against the ICC goes back to President Donald Trump’s first term, when it targeted the ICC for seeking to investigate alleged war crimes committed by US forces in Afghanistan. The second Trump administration has imposed a slew of sanctions against ICC officials for their attempts to investigate the US and Israel.
However, the State Department-led, “whole-of-government campaign” to dismantle the ICC is a significant escalation, particularly as it seeks to pressure countries around the world to join and threatens potential cuts to US assistance for those who don’t.
“Nations that refuse to reject the ICC’s false authority while relying on US assistance are likely to come under increased scrutiny,” a State Department official said Monday.
“Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC—brick by brick, if necessary,” Rubio wrote in a separate piece in the Wall Street Journal on Monday. Those tools include possible travel bans, visa revocations, and increased sanctions, the State Department official said.
But, hey, what fun would it be to hold those who commit war crimes responsible?
Feds finally hand over evidence in the killing of Renee Good.
Federal prosecutors turned over key evidence long sought by Minnesota investigators in their ongoing probe into the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti during pitched protests against an immigration enforcement crackdown earlier this year, state prosecutors announced Monday.
The progress came as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed a motorist in Maine on Monday, and Houston prosecutors complained the administration was still withholding critical information in their investigation into a fatal shooting by an ICE officer last week.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the evidence turned over by U.S. Attorney for Minnesota Daniel Rosen’s office included previously withheld hard drives containing statements, police body camera video and other materials in the Minnesota killings. Federal prosecutors also turned over Good’s badly damaged SUV, she said.
“The wonderful thing now is we have all the evidence,” Moriarty said. “Any time the government is responsible in whatever way of taking the life of a community member we need to have a full and thorough investigation.”
And now it’s the Department of War on the Free Press.
The US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced on Monday that the Pentagon and the US Department of Justice have created a “joint taskforce to identify and prosecute” what he called the “unauthorized disclosure of sensitive” information to the press, marking the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s effort to crackdown on leaks.
In a video posted on X , Hegseth said that “to combat the dangers that leaks pose, effectively immediately, I have delegated tasking authority to the war department’s office of general counsel, empowering OGC to request and receive all information, records and support across the department concerning media leak investigations”.
“Leaked information risks lives, these new tools and processes will greatly assist us in protecting our joint force,” he said. “The security of our nation cannot be a bargaining chip for those who seek momentary headlines, access to confidential and secret information is a sacred trust, and those who betray that trust will be met with the full force of the law.”
The arch of evil is coming closer to being constructed.
The 250-foot triumphal arch proposed by Donald Trump has received approval from a panel of the National Capital Planning Commission. According to a report by the Washington Post , the panel has voted in favor of the building plans and the preliminary site for the arch.
Despite the backlash that the project has received from the general public, the Trump administration has received the green light. However, a final vote on this will be taken in September. In this final voting session, the planning commission will also consider whether the triumphal arch can be exempt from the Height of Buildings Act, which allows only structures up to 130 feet to be built.
Wouldn’t it be something if every construction firm involved in this vanity project stiff the felon the way he’s always stiffed construction firms?
And the traitor-in-chief is back to calling for his political critics to be deported.
President Trump on Sunday shared a video calling for “hardcore communist bastards” to be deported, notably naming New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D).
Conservative pundit Michael Savage’s 49-minute-long video, which he posted on July 4, claims that democratic socialist candidates running as Democrats have been turning the U.S. into a socialist country through, for example, the launch of “free” programs. Savage claimed the country was turning into Cambodia under the dictator Pol Pot.
“That is exactly what Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists will do to you,” Savage said. “Forget the smirks, forget the smiles, forget the bulls— that it’s like Denmark and Norway. These are hardcore communist bastards who must be stopped, criminalized and deported. I’m clear as a bell on this. We will fall if they are not deported.”
Trump’s sharing of the message is notable given his relationship with Mamdani. While Trump has been hammering Democrats for moving toward “communism” with the advancement of several democratic socialist candidates, he has at times complimented Mamdani. Trump famously had a friendly meeting with Mamdani at the White House after the democratic socialist won his city’s mayoral race last year.
Savage said Mamdani, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) “and the other scum who should be criminalized and deported –– I’ll send them to Uganda … before they spread the cancer.” The pundit railed against democratic socialist candidates who recently won Democratic primary elections across the country.
“Right now, we have open Marxists in high places in America. Every one of them must be criminalized and deported. I’m not mincing words, I don’t care what the courts say,” Savage later said before he blasted the Supreme Court’s recent ruling upholding birthright citizenship , which he said was “death to America.”
Deportation of citizens? Check!
Destruction of the environment? Check!
Control of the courts? Check!
Political loyalty over ability in government and military? Check!
Control of voting? Check!
The felon’s turning the country into the USSR!
@aurora_maire Wow. That felon certainly cannot write well at all.
