The ICE Mob is resorting to thuggery more and more. Their abusive behaviors would get them arrested and convicted in the real world. That is why they wear masks. Maybe if Nazi war criminals had worn masks they would have escaped retribution.
We’ve not yet been told the truth about Tom Homan’s windfall of cash. Is Tom a “bent copper”? Maybe there is a credible explanation for the exchange of money in which he participated, but we have yet to hear it. And can we believe any explanation we hear?
Trump is angling to have the new Washington, D.C. Commanders stadium named after him. He is trying to leave a lasting imprint on the national consciousness. Let him carry on with these efforts. He has never understood the distinction between renown and notoriety. Names can be changed, statuary removed, monuments destroyed.
From AP: “Settler violence is surging across the West Bank. The U.N. says the first half of 2025 has seen 757 settler attacks causing casualties of property damage – a 13% increase compared with the same period last year.”
Even AP seems to be buying into Israeli propaganda, as it refers to these thugs as settlers. They are not “settlers,” but are occupying irregulars. And the “attacks” are not raids by military or police, but assaults and vandalism by colonists.
The viciousness on the West Bank is, along with Gaza, part of the Israeli plan to expel the Palestinians and seize for themselves the remaining Palestinian lands.
Blog: Trump’s critics
I see that today is the feast of St. Lupenzius, a monk of Chalons, who, it is said, was tortured and murdered because he criticized Queen Brunechilde. Critics of Queen Trump should take warning.
I read that “Trump bulldozes the East Wing of the White House” to make space for his new ballroom. No other president has been so destructive of the national House.
Quod non fecerunt Barbarini, fecerunt barbari.
I’ve read of an AI cartoon posted online that shows Trump wearing a crown, sitting at the controls of an obsolete fighter jet, and dumping his shit on demonstrators below. This is all only partially true. Trump has no crown — he’s a dictator, not a king. Trump would not fly a fighter jet, but would use his new flying palace which could carry much more shit. However, no one doubts that Trump is full of shit, so much so that he is famously incontinent and cannot even control the shit he dumps on all the world.
The Trump regime is not the Amateur Hour, nor a clown-car. Amateurs make an earnest effort at their art, and clowns can be masters of their profession.
No, the Trump regime is a constellation of self-admiring incompetents.
I’ve known many incompetents, have myself been incompetent in some things I have tried. Now, I’ve perceived two kinds of incompetents. There are those who find themselves in jobs for which they know they are incompetent, admit their incompetence, and seek help and guidance so that they will eventually become competent. The second type are those who do not know that they are incompetent and think their perennial screw-ups are successes. These are the terminal incompetents, and the Trump regime is crawling with them.
A clerical supporter of James G. Blaine, Rev. Samuel Dickinson Burchard, denounced the Democrats of his time as “the party whose antecedents have been RUM, ROMANISM and REBELLION.”
On Truth [sic] Social our Dictator has surpassed even Rev. Burchard, and describes Democrats as “the party of hate, evil, and Satan.” Did the Dictator really mean this, or did he write it during one of his dry-drunk sessions with Truth Social? I think he meant it. Here’s why.
Trump regularly describes his opponents as mirrors of himself, sc., he charges them with the crimes of which he himself is guilty. So of course Trump sees any adversary as incarnating his very own “hate, evil, and Satan.”
Well, I was wrong about the purposes of Hegseth’s roundup of upper echelon military. It seems the real purposes were:
1) give Trump another stage on which to repeat old lies and a few recent ones
2) to show off Hegseth as a model for the U.S. military
As to 1: why do the media keep reporting Trump lies? The fact that Trump is a compulsive liar is not news.
As to 2: should members of the U.S. military train to become blowhard, ass-kissing, hard drinking, womanizing, liars?
Hegseth has summoned all the top military officers from around the world to a meeting next Tuesday at Quantico VA. No one knows why he has called this utterly unexampled meeting. I’ve two suggestions about its purpose:
1) he plans to force them to swear their personal loyalty to Donald Trump
or
2) they will all be arrested at this meeting and the upper echelon of the military, a group that could oppose Trump’s dictatorship, will be out of the way.
Lots in the news about our Great Physician’s attack on acetaminophin. I’ve not seen a convincing cause suggested for this attack, so we can only guess. Was it precipitated by Trump’s personal witch-doctor, Mr. Kennedy? Did Trump overhear someone spreading rumors about Tylenol at a Mar a Lago party? Or, what seems to me more likely, someone at Tylenol said something that pissed Trump off.
