No surprise here. The felon lambasts someone he praised.
“We’re going to have great judges, conservative, all picked by the Federalist Society,” Trump promised during his first campaign in 2016. It was the result of a meeting in March 2016 with Leonard Leo, then the executive vice president of the Federalist Society, a conservative organization that advocates for legal originalism .
True to his promise, Trump would go on to consult Leo for judicial nominations, including his three Supreme Court picks.
Turns into:
“I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges,” he posted on his social media platform Truth Social. “I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court—I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own ‘thing.’ I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten! With all of that being said, I am very proud of many of our picks, but very disappointed in others.”
Y’all remember the boy who cried wolf? Yeah, in that story, there really was, finally, a wolf. The toddler who cried deep state, on the other hand…
NEW YORK (AP) — As he crisscrossed the country in 2024, Donald Trump pledged to supporters that voting him back into the presidency would be “our final battle.”
“With you at my side, we will demolish the deep state ,” he said repeatedly on the campaign trail. “We will liberate our country from these tyrants and villains once and for all.”
Four months into his second term, Trump has continued to stoke dark theories involving his predecessors and other powerful politicians and attorneys — most recently raising the specter of nefarious intent behind former President Joe Biden’s use of an autopen to sign papers. The administration has pledged to reopen investigations and has taken steps to declassify certain documents, including releasing more than 63,000 pages of records related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Yet many of Trump’s supporters say it’s not enough.
Some who take him at his word are beginning to get restless as they ask why his administration, which holds the keys to chasing down these alleged government secrets, is denying them the evidence and retribution they expected.
A senator from Iowa has an interesting take on the felon’s big bullshit bill.
PARKERSBURG, IOWA − Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, fielded angry questions on Medicaid cuts, President Donald Trump ’s tax cut proposal and DOGE at a town hall on May 30, at one point telling a member of the crowd concerned about Medicaid cuts that, “We all are going to die.”
While portions of the hourlong event proceeded respectfully and Ernst, a Republican, answered several questions without interruption, at other points members of the roughly 100-member crowd repeatedly interrupted her answers, booing her and calling her a liar.
As Ernst was answering a question about Medicaid eligibility in Trump’s tax cut bill, she was interrupted by a woman in the crowd, who shouted, “People will die!”
“People are not – well, we all are going to die,” Ernst said, prompting shouting from the audience. “For heaven’s sakes, folks.”
Harvard gets a reprieve, but the taco toddler’s so-called administration is still harassing the school.

Question for the legal beagles here: how is this not contempt of court?
More on the Harvard confict is here .
The US State Department on Friday ordered all US embassies and consulates to “immediately begin additional vetting” for anyone seeking a visa to travel to Harvard University “for any purpose.”
The move is a significant escalation of the Trump administration’s feud with the Ivy League institution that is poised to have massive implications, as it applies to more than just students.
The “additional vetting” is comprised of “a complete screening of the online presence” of the applicants who wish to travel to Harvard, which will serve as a pilot for expanded social media screening and vetting visa applicants across the board.
“Such applicants include, but are not limited to prospective students, students, faculty, employees, contractors, guest speakers, and tourists,” the diplomatic cable signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and seen by CNN said.
Now Schrödinger’s cat is drugs!
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Friday shrugged off a question about new reporting that tech billionaire and adviser to the president Elon Musk sparked concerns on the campaign trail with his drug use.
“The drugs that we’re concerned about are the drugs running across the southern border,” Miller said.
The vendetta against Kilmar Abrego Garcia continues.
The Department of Homeland Security doubled down on Wednesday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member deported to his native country of El Salvador, “will never be on American streets again.”
The agency’s remarks came amid criticism from U.S. Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., who tried to visit Garcia on Memorial Day. Ivey initially posted a video on X about the attempted visit, saying that he represents Abrego Garcia, and that the Salvadoran government stonewalled his efforts.

“Let us be crystal clear: Kilmar Abrego Garcia will never be on American streets again,” a Homeland Security post on X states. “Advocating for an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, human trafficker and wife beater over ACTUAL Maryland constituents victimized by illegal alien crime is appalling.”
The only court decisions of which I’m aware relating to Garcia’s case are (1) he had a protection from deportation order, and (2) a federal judge ordered the administration to “facilitate and effectuate” Garcia’s return to the United States. I must have missed all the times a court found, based on evidence, he was a member of MS-13, a human trafficerk, and beat his wife.
And now Cruella de Vile wants a brand spanking new aeroplane.
In a Reddit forum focused on politics, one Redditor drew attention to a controversial request made by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem: a $50 million private jet.
Democratic Rep. Lauren Underwood of Illinois expressed outrage about “wasting taxpayer dollars on luxury travel.”
According to an article by Military.com , Noem requested a new $50 million long-range Gulfstream jet to replace the private jet she currently uses for travel. It was a last-minute addition to the Coast Guard’s 2025 budget proposal.
By the way, I just came up with that nickname for her: Cruella de Vile . Damn, I wish I had thought of that when her vileness towards canines first came to light.
Another one at the Smithsonian is put to the curb by the felon.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump announced in a Truth Social post on May 30 that he fired Kim Sajet from her role as director of Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery.
“Upon the request and recommendation of many people, I am herby terminating the employment of Kim Sajet as Director of the National Portrait Gallery,” Trump wrote in his post . “She is a highly partisan person, and a strong supporter of DEI, which is totally inappropriate for her position,” he added, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion.
“Her replacement will be named shortly,” Trump wrote. ”Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Shortly? Is that the new “cofefve” “two weeks”?
I recall the 2020 pandemic being called a once in a century pandemic. Now we have a “hold my hamberder” moment thanks to the lunatic the felon put in charge of health.
The Department of Health and Human Services is canceling an enormous contract with Moderna, ending a multimillion-dollar partnership to develop vaccines for emerging flu strains.
The agency, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., signaled in February that it would be conducting a review of a $590 million contract penned during the Biden administration. Kennedy—a virulent vaccine conspiracy theorist—has been highly critical of the messenger RNA process utilized by Moderna to expedite vaccine development. The contract had been awarded through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, which issues money for treatment programs aimed at curbing potential future pandemics.
The nixed contract comes on the heels of positive interim results from an early-stage trial of the shot for the H5 bird flu virus, months after strains of the virus wiped out millions of birds across America’s poultry farms.
Once in a century, twice in a decade–what’s the difference?
I just saw this one. Evidently, the felon does want foreign students to study in the United States (so he says), just not at Harvard.
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump said in a White House news conference on May 30 that he wants foreign students to study in the United States despite his ongoing feud with Harvard University, which included an attempt to effectively bar the Ivy League campus from enrolling international students.
A federal judge on May 23 temporarily halted the administration’s effort to bar the university from enrolling international students . The judge on May 29 said she would issue a longer-term halt on the policy.
“We want to have great students here. We just don’t want students that are causing trouble. We want to have students. I want to have foreign students,” Trump told reporters at the press conference.
Now ain’t that a masterful display of eloquence?
