Who’s your daddy?
Pardon me. I’ll be back after I’m done puking.
It looks like Little Petey has learned something from the felon.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth criticized his former Fox News colleague Jennifer Griffin as “about the worst, the one who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference Thursday.
Griffin, Fox’s chief national security correspondent, said that “I take issue with that” and defended her reporting on the U.S. bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Hegseth, a Fox News anchor before President Donald Trump appointed him defense secretary, repeatedly criticized the media and questioned its patriotism for its reporting on an initial assessment of the weekend’s bombing that questioned how much damage was done to Iran’s nuclear program.
The Big Bullshit Bill gets yet another trimming.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congressional Republicans agreed to remove the so-called revenge tax provision from President Donald Trump’s big bill on Thursday after a request by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
The Section 899 provision that was nixed would have allowed the federal government to impose taxes on companies with foreign owners, as well as investors from countries judged as charging “unfair foreign taxes” on U.S. companies.
The measure was expected to lead many companies to avoid investing in the U.S. out of concern that they could face steep taxes. But the removal of the provision adds a wrinkle to Republicans’ plans to try to offset the cost of the massive package .
Canadian Man Dies in ICE Custody Yes. You read that correctly.
MIAMI (AP) — A Canadian man being held by immigration officials in South Florida has died in federal custody, officials said.
Johnny Noviello, 49, died Monday afternoon at the Bureau of Prisons Federal Detention Center in Miami, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement press release said. The cause of death was under investigation.
Noviello was being detained pending removal from the U.S., officials said. He entered the U.S. in 1988 on a legal visa and became a lawful permanent resident in 1991. He was convicted of drug trafficking and other charges in 2023 and sentenced to a year in prison, officials said.
It’s a very short article, so I only quoted about half of it. Read the rest of the story.
The Second Felonial Era now has SCOTUS imprimatur to deport peopole to one of 58 countries, even if those deportees are not from those countries.
The Trump administration could soon deport immigrants to 58 countries that are not their place of origin, after a Supreme Court ruling earlier this week granted an emergency request to overturn a federal judge’s restrictions on such removals.
Human rights advocates warn that sending “third-country” nationals to these countries could expose them to abuse and violence, and strand them in places where they have no ties and often can’t speak the language.
Throughout this year, as the White House pushes to rapidly deport millions of immigrants , diplomats have been lobbying at least 58 countries to accept these deportees, The New York Times reports , citing interviews with officials and diplomatic cables.
So far, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Costa Rica, Rwanda, and Kosovo have agreed to such flights in varying degrees, while the State Department has already approached or plans to approach numerous other countries to reach similar agreements.
Many of the potential nations are in Africa, and the list includes regimes plagued with violence, political strife, and human rights abuses, including Libya and South Sudan.
Make no mistake about it. This list of countries the felon and his co-conspirators is purposeful. The felon et al have chosen these countries because of the human rights violations and dangerous conditions there.
The bird brain flips the bird.
Vice President JD Vance cranked the cringe dial up to eleven with his latest attempt at a joke at the Ohio Republican Party dinner in Lima, Ohio, on Tuesday.
Vance, while delivering the event’s keynote speech, was talking about how it’s essential to take the rough with the smooth in politics when he said:
“I know it’s not always easy to be a political candidate, trust me. In Washington, D.C., they have this thing, I think it means, ‘We’re No.1 in Washington, D.C.’”
Vance flipped his middle finger and kept it in place as he continued:
“But all the pink-haired people throw up this sign and I think, you that means, ‘We’re No.1,’ right?”
He lowered his finger and then added, “I choose to take that as that symbol in Washington.”
We’re being governed by juveniles. :smh:
The felon is still jonesing about Garcia.
The Trump administration plans to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a “third country” eventually, meaning not El Salvador, where he is from and was mistakenly sent back to earlier this year.
The Department of Homeland Security will initiate removal proceedings after Abrego Garcia returns to the agency’s immigration custody, a Justice Department lawyer said during a brief court hearing Thursday. While the custody transfer could come within days, the attorney said DHS had not communicated a timeline for the deportation.
“So, it can happen in 30 seconds or 30 days or 30 months?” Judge Paula Xinis of the federal District Court in Maryland asked at the hearing.
“There are no imminent plans to remove him to a third country,” DOJ lawyer Jonathan Guynn responded.
“And that’s as good as you can do?” Xinis added.
This case, more than any other, shows how petty, vindictive, immature, and criminal not only the felon is, but how the entire cabal of co-conspiraters is to boot. They got caught violating court protection orders, then immediately started lying about the man. When their lies were easily disproven, they simply declare they will not honor court orders.
Today that attitude is harming Garcia. If not stopped, it can also be applied to you.
Speaking of harmful attitudes…
The GOP’s new Homeland Security funding bill would require “all non-detained migrants” to wear GPS tracking devices, a demoralizing “alternative to detention” that is part of the Trump administration’s continuing immigration crackdown, according to Migrant Insider.
“Non-detained” includes asylum-seekers and even students. Tracking millions of innocent people like endangered animals will be a tall task, a challenge that will likely go to another seedy private surveillance corporation.
This is not the first time DHS and ICE have used tracking devices on nondetained immigrants. Last year, ICE issued 3,000 wrist-worn “Veri-Watches” to keep constant tabs on asylum-seekers.
Congresswoman Crockett points out some visa fraud.
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett took her latest shot at Donald Trump on Wednesday, June 25, implying that the president’s immigration policy is hypocritical, given that his wife, Melania Trump , is an immigrant herself who secured an unusual type of visa for a model after arriving in the States.
“Since we’re talking about integrity, I’m confused as to why my Republican colleagues aren’t talking about the lack of integrity when it comes to the president’s family’s visas,” the Democratic representative said at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the visa process.
Melania was born in what is now Slovenia, then Yugoslavia, in 1970. After she was discovered at age 16, ID Models founder and New York businessman Paolo Zampolli sponsored her immigration to the United States. She first worked as a model under an H1-B visa, but it’s been widely reported that she later applied for and was granted an EB-1 visa.
The EB-1 is commonly referred to as an “Einstein” visa, because of who it’s catered to. Per the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website , the visa is intended for immigrants who are “an alien of extraordinary ability, an outstanding professor or researcher, or a certain multinational executive or manager.”
And here’s another update about the dangers of having co-conspirator Kennedy in charge of ethe nation’s health. (The bolding is mine.)
ATLANTA — A panel of vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. voted Thursday to recommend that no one get a flu vaccine that contains thimerosal — a preservative that has long been a target of the anti-vaccine movement and Kennedy himself.
Five members voted to recommend that no children, pregnant women, or adults get any flu vaccine with thimerosal. If the CDC adopts the recommendation, it will mark one of the first major changes in federal vaccine guidance and access as Kennedy embarks on his goal of remaking immunization policy in his image.
“The risk from influenza is so much greater than the nonexistent, as far as we know, risk from thimerosal,” said Dr. Cody Meissner, the only panel member who voted no. “I would hate for a person not to receive the influenza vaccine because the only available preparation is with thimerosal.
The CDC director usually needs to endorse the recommendations before they are official. But Kennedy will likely be the one to endorse these recommendations because there is currently no CDC director or acting director.
The decision came after a presentation from Lyn Redwood, a former president of the Kennedy-founded anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense, who identified herself as a “private citizen.” The Washington Post reported Wednesday that Kennedy had hired Redwood to work in the CDC’s vaccine safety office.
And he even admits his pollicies will harm children!
On Thursday Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is still set on removing fluoride from drinking water even after admitting that it did help prevent cavities and tooth decay in children.
“What has been the response from dentists in America who may be concerned that some children in lower incomes in particular don’t get those regular dental, preventative-type situations where they can go in and get their teeth more indemnified and treated against cavities?” Fox News’s Harris Faulkner asked Kennedy Jr. as he sat next to Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt.
“Well, people will still get indemnified for it to the extent that they’re already indemnified. But you know, it is an issue. It’s a balance. You’re gonna see, probably, slightly more cavities. Although in Europe where they banned fluoride they did not see an uptick in cavities. The issue is, parents need to decide. Science is very clear on fluoride.”
Europe has not “banned” fluoride, they just don’t add it to their public water supplies like we do here. Europeans still receive fluoride at the dentist. Even still, Kennedy has had his mind set on this fluoride ban for some time now.
Color me unsurprised he also lied when he was talking.
Junior Felony accuses the Nobel Committee of affirmative action. You already knnow why before you read on.
“I should have gotten [a Nobel Peace Prize] four or five times,” said President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump Jr. suggested that former President Barack Obama’s being Black is the reason he has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize—and that his father has not.
“Affirmative action is when Barack Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize instead of Donald Trump,” Trump Jr. posted Tuesday on X.
That’s it for Friday!
