 Yup, just what we need…more rape and sexual assault in the military. 'Beyond Disgusting': Critics Slam Jesse Watters' 'Wild Animals' U.S. Troop Joke “ “Yeah, I want these guys on it, but you know what’s gonna happen? The guys that don’t need it are gonna take it, to triple boost,” Watters said Thursday, laughing.  “And then they’re gonna get out there, and women on base, you guys better be careful. Port calls, women in Asia, you better be careful, because these guys are gonna be wild animals and you better watch out.”  ” Excerpt From “'Beyond Disgusting': Critics Appalled By Jesse Watters' Joke About Women And U.S. Troops”

  According to the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based policy group, one of every four vehicles sold globally in 2025 was battery-powered. Analysts with Bloomberg have predicted that in the next decade, that number will more than double, putting gas-powered cars — for the first time ever — in the minority of overall new vehicle sales.  Overseas, Asian and European manufacturers have spent years preparing for this eventuality, dumping billions into the development of battery technology. With predictable results:  China now makes 75 percent of all E.V.s sold anywhere on earth. (The United States makes around 5 percent.) Many of those vehicles are produced by BYD, a Chinese company that recently became the largest manufacturer of battery-powered cars in the world. And now, Trump is playing with fire in the oil basket of the world. How ya think THAT’S gonna turn out?

  Under the second Trump administration, the E.V. tax credit was eliminated and tailpipe-emission standards were gutted, which more or less instantly drove down sales of new battery-powered vehicles and encouraged the so-called Big Three — Ford, G.M. and Stellantis North America, the maker of the Dodge, Chrysler, Ram and Jeep brands — to refocus their considerable resources on trucks and plus-size, gas guzzling  S.U.V.s.

  (Trump has also failed to convince people that vandals made a gash nearly three football fields long with a boxcutter in the Reflecting Pool, rather than that his crony contractor   applied the liner wrong .) Even Fox News acted more skittish than sycophantish for a change, not wanting to relive its $787.5 million debacle as part of its settlement with Dominion Voting Systems after claiming its machines switched votes from Trump to Joe Biden. The next morning, Mediaite  reported , “Fox & Friends” did not mention the address once in its three-hour show. BUT, it temporarily changed the narrative, from his stooopid war in Iran, that’s going sideways and costing the US yuuugely in money, weapons and world opinion. In other words…nothing new here.

There was  barely a peep  from Republicans on Capitol Hill about the speech. No organized effort to polish his tirade. You could almost hear the fervent wish of Republican lawmakers watching the president:  Please, Donald, move on! But he can’t. His father’s admonition that there are only “killers” and “losers” plays in a loop in his head, reducing him to jelly. He is willing to undermine and destroy any institution, law, norm or ideal cherished by Americans in a bonfire of his vanities. He claims to be Christian but mocks the sanctity of human life with his cavalier attitude about ICE murders. He puts his own ego above everything else, even democracy, as his gutless minions sit back and watch it happen.

  Iran War Live Updates: Fighting Intensifies With Strikes on Critical Infrastructure In the days since the cease-fire unraveled, the United States has expanded the scope of their attacks, with reports of water facilities and other civilian structures coming under fire.

  New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration is discussing whether it can arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he comes to the U.S. in September for the U.N. General Assembly in Manhattan, according to   The New York Times.  “I believe that  Prime Minister Netanyahu  belongs in the Hague,” Mamdani told the newspaper this week, naming the home of the United Nations’ International Court of Justice.  “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the International Criminal Court,” Mamdani reportedly added, noting, “And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years.”  The New York Times reported that  Mamdani said  he is unclear as to whether he has the legal authority to order police to detain Mamdani, but that he’s in an “active conversation” with the city’s Law Department about the idea. 

 

 

  Trump's effort to get state voter rolls hits a brick wall in courts The opposition to the Trump DOJ's demands is bipartisan. Some GOP states are fighting to protect personal voter info and 7 of 15 District Court judges who rejected the requests are Trump appointees. Duh…it’s right in the Constitution, no matter WHAT the lying piece of crap says.

  Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016) Ted Cruz was also sane at one point.. Cruz famously labeled Trump a "pathological liar," a "narcissist," and "utterly amoral". After Trump disparaged Cruz's wife, Heidi, and suggested his father was involved in the JFK assassination, Cruz called Trump a "sniveling coward". And then there’s JD Vance, before his brain imploded… Vance privately compared Trump to "America's Hitler" and famously wrote in a private message that Trump might be "America's Hitler. He also referred to Trump on social media and in interviews as "reprehensible," an "idiot," and "cultural heroin." He criticized Trump for appealing to the "baser instincts" of voters and stated he did ...

 Oh yeah, Dotard KILLED the agencies that used to monitor dangerous outbreaks like this. Critics and health experts have linked the severity and poor tracking of the outbreak to budget and regulatory rollbacks enacted by the Trump administration, that eliminated and decimated the agencies that used to protect us. Get used to it, cuz it’s gonna become common….

 (Yup, the dumbass is threatening fines and tariffs…unless Canada stops sending smoke to the US… Unf*ckingbelieveable, but SO Trumpian….) Obvious Climate Change, that he and his dumbass minions(R) claim is a HOAX, as the Colorado River, and the reservoirs it used to fill, dry up, and the West suffers through record heat and drought, as others are flooded, incessantly. Yup, while the rest of the world is addressing the obvious problem and cause, by investing in wind, solar and geothermal, Boss Hogg hooked up with Big Oil to KILL green energy and to burn more coal. Thanks a bunch, you MAGA morons.
