Here is the latest Revenge of the Felon sequel. (The bolding is mine.)
Oh, it’s incredibly clear. And there’s no reasoning behind it. It’s pure revenge.
Florida is no longer a state; it’s just another arm of the dictator’s rule. (The bolding and italicizing are mine.)
Deportation flights from the remote Everglades immigration lockup known as Alligator Alcatraz have begun and are expected to increase soon, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday.
The first flights operated by the Department of Homeland Security have transferred about 100 detainees from the immigration detention center to other countries, DeSantis said during a news conference near the facility.
“You’re going to see the numbers go up dramatically,” he said.
Two or three flights have already departed, but officials didn’t say where those flights headed.
Don’t worry; the felon is taking care of pressing business overseas.
President Donald Trump is headed to Scotland on July 25 , where he is expected to meet with the British Prime Minister and visit his golf resorts.
This trip precludes a more elaborate formal state visit in the fall. His first major trip abroad during this presidency was a tour of the Middle East in May, and he has since attended the G7 Summit in Canada and the NATO Summit in the Netherlands .
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, according to Reuters, that the trip would be a “working visit that will include a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Starmer to refine the historic U.S.-U.K. trade deal.”
Sorry. I meant, “The felon is taking care of his business overseas.”
And the Scottish press has lost no time in announcing his pending arrival there.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is releasing billions of dollars in withheld grants for schools, the Education Department said Friday, ending weeks of uncertainty for educators around the country who rely on the money for English language instruction, adult literacy, and other programs.
President Donald Trump ’s administration had suspended more than $6 billion in funding on July 1, as part of a review to ensure spending aligned with the White House’s priorities .
The funding freeze had been challenged by several lawsuits as educators, Congress members from both parties and others called for the administration to release the money. Congress had appropriated the money in a bill signed this year by Trump.
Last week, the Education Department said it would release $1.3 billion of the money for after-school and summer programming. Without the money, school districts and nonprofits such as the YMCA and Boys and Girls Club of America had said they would have to close or scale back educational offerings this fall.
The Office of Management and Budget had completed its review of the programs and will begin sending the money to states next week, the Education Department said.
Republican senators pressed the Trump administration to release the money
A group of 10 Republican senators on July 16 sent a letter imploring the administration to allow the frozen education money to be sent to states, saying the withheld money supported programs and services that are critical to local communities.
Next week, you say? I’m shocked the promised release date isn’t “in two weeks.”

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Friday that he “hasn’t thought about” pardoning Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell but that he’s “allowed to do it.”
“I haven’t thought about it,” Trump said when asked by reporters outside the White House if he had thought about a pardon or clemency for Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking. “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I have not thought about.”
Wow. How can he still be in office after waffling on the easiest question for any politician to answer correctly regardless of party? Let me be clear here. There is one and only one right way for this conversation to go and here it is.
(Reporter) Have you thought about pardoning a sex offender?
(Smart politician) Of course not. I will never pardon a sex offedner. Next question, please!
Obama owes the felon BIGLY!!!
Donald Trump has been intensely focused on Barack Obama in recent days, accusing his Democratic predecessor of “treason.” Now the current president is saying the former president “owes” him.
“He owes me, Obama owes me big,” Trump said July 25 while speaking to reporters outside the White House before departing on a trip to Scotland .
Obama’s debt to Trump in the current president’s mind? The fact that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts in office. The ruling came in a case involving Trump’s alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
But aren’t the felon and his flacks/accomplices/co-conspirators still trying to pin something on President Obama and then try him? (I ask just before quoting the very next sentence.
US Army Garrison The Border just had intruders.
NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — Inside an armored vehicle, an Army scout uses a joystick to direct a long-range optical scope toward a man perched atop the U.S.-Mexico border wall cutting across the hills of this Arizona frontier community.
The man lowers himself toward U.S. soil between coils of concertina wire. Shouts ring out, an alert is sounded and a U.S. Border Patrol SUV races toward the wall — warning enough to send the man scrambling back over it, disappearing into Mexico.
The sighting Tuesday was one of only two for the Army infantry unit patrolling this sector of the southern border, where an emergency declaration by President Donald Trump has thrust the military into a central role in deterring migrant crossings between U.S. ports of entry.
&
Until now border enforcement had been the domain of civilian law enforcement, with the military only intermittently stepping in.
But since April, large swaths of border have been designated militarized zones, empowering U.S. troops to apprehend immigrants and others accused of trespassing on Army, Air Force or Navy bases, and authorizing additional criminal charges that can mean prison time.
I ask you to focus on that last paragraph I quoted. The border is now an Army installation. Not only are people entering that installation from the south trespassing, so is anyone, including US citizens, entering that installation from the north . That means that if you decide to go to your favorite fishing spot on certain rivers or streams in that area, you are violating federal law.
Guess how many people illegally entering that Army base from the north are going to be stopped, apprended, and prosecuted. Go ahead. I dare you.
It’s now official: The United States constitution means nothing to the Second Felonial Era.
The impact of Joy Behar ’s assertion that Donald Trump is jealous of Barack Obama ’s looks and marriage continues to reverberate through the government, as Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr has now spoken about “consequences” for the comedian and The View amid the fallout.
One day after the White House issued an exclusive statement to Entertainment Weekly floating the potential for The View to be “pulled off the air” after “irrelevant loser” Behar’s comments, Carr appeared Thursday morning on Fox News program America’s Newsroom to discuss the issue further with cohost Bill Hemmer.
“It’s entirely possible that there’s issues over there. Stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there’s a lot of consequences,” Carr speculated. “I think the consequences of that aren’t quite finished.”
&
Carr added that America needs “a course-correction” in terms of media coverage of the presidential administration.
“It’s time for America’s legacy broadcasters to return to promoting the public interest,” he said, speculating that Skydance — which made headlines recently for its impending merger with Paramount — would fervently “root out bias” that would “return to unbiased, trustworthy journalism” in mainstream media.
“We’re not where we need to go. I think this legacy media really needs to reorient, or they’re going to continue to run into issues like [Stephen] Colbert, where it just doesn’t make economic sense to run a partisan circus,” Carr finished.
The felon’s deal with Mister Japan is unraveling.
“I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history, with Japan,” Trump boasted Tuesday. But a new report from The Financial Times demonstrates that U.S. and Japanese officials don’t see eye to eye on what exactly the countries agreed upon.
According to Trump and his administration, in return for a reduction in tariffs, Japan would invest $550 billion in certain U.S. sectors and give the United States 90 percent of the profits.
But Japanese officials say profit sharing under the agreement isn’t so set in stone: A Friday slideshow presentation in Japan’s Cabinet Office, contra the White House, said profit distribution would be “based on the degree of contribution and risk taken by each party,” per The Financial Times .
The FT also reports conflicting messages between Washington and Tokyo as to whether that $550 billion commitment is, as team Trump sees it, a guarantee or, as Japan’s negotiator Ryosei Akazawa sees it, an upper limit and not “a target or commitment.”
Accomplice Kennedy to neuter another panel protecting the health of Americans.
US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to remove the expert advisers who make up a federal panel on preventive health care, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The future of the US Preventive Services Task Force has been in doubt since HHS called off this month’s meeting of the nonpolitical advisory group.
“No final decision has been made on how the USPSTF can better support HHS’ mandate to Make America Healthy Again,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told CNN on Friday.
The 16-member task force was established in 1984 and provides recommendations about preventive services, such as screenings for cancer and various disorders and counseling, that help make Americans aware of illnesses and conditions earlier, when they can be easier and less expensive to treat. The Affordable Care Act mandates that those services are provided without charge to patients.
There’s your problem right there. It’s a non-political group. Had it been a Republican group, the felon and his lemmings would treat every word from it like scripture.
The felon raves at the Fed Chair about a building the Fed, according to the felon, is about to build.
In case you haven’t been following the (reality) show, Trump has been VERY upset with the Fed Chair for not lowering interest rates. He won’t stop talking about firing him .
So, needless to say, tensions were a bit high!
At the construction site, Trump took out a piece of paper claiming the cost of the Federal Reserve’s renovation project had surged to $3.1 billion, compared with the Fed’s official figure of $2.5 billion.
Powell called him out on it, and that awkward interaction and live fact-check is going viral:
“It’s about $3.1 billion now — it went up a little bit, or maybe a lot. It was $2.7 billion, and now it’s $3.1,” Trump said. “I’m not aware of that,” Powell replied. “It just came out,” Trump responded. “I haven’t heard that from anyone at the Fed,” Powell added.
Then Trump takes out a piece of paper, Powell grabs it, and starts reading it.
“Are you including the Martin renovation? You just added in a third building,” Powell says. Trump replies, “It’s a building that’s being built.” Then Powell clarifies, “It was built five years ago. We finished Martin five years ago.”
Then Trump changes the subject and starts talking about how nice it is to take the helmets off.
Five years ago, you say? Ah, the felon was hijacking the government back then, wasn’t he?
DNI (Dearth of Normal Intelligence) director Gabbard melts down like the Wicked Witch of the West.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard railed against reporters for daring to point out the obvious inconsistencies in her claims that Barack Obama masterminded a treasonous conspiracy against President Donald Trump.
Gabbard has accused the former president of manufacturing intelligence about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election—claims that Obama dismissed as an attempt to distract from the president’s Jeffrey Epstein woes .
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Wednesday, Gabbard provided apparent “evidence” to support her accusations, but was met with some uncomfortable questions about the details and the timing of her claims.
One journalist asked why Gabbard’s claims contradicted a massive bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report that concluded in 2020 that Russia had “engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election” in Trump’s favor.
“Look at the evidence, and you will know the truth,” Gabbard replied cryptically.
She also couldn’t answer why these supposed revelations did not come to light during Trump’s first term in office from 2017 to 2021.
