  Pentagon officials stunned by Hegseth decision on troops in Poland Pete Hegseth’s last-minute decision to cancel the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland caught Pentagon staff and European allies by surprise — the latest example of an abrupt personnel move from the Defense secretary that blindsided both sides of the Atlantic. It wasn’t clear exactly why Hegseth issued the order, according to three defense officials familiar with the matter. President Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed anger and frustration with European allies for their failure to help with the Iran war, although Trump has labeled Poland a " model ally ” for its high defense spending. The decision was even more surprising because troops and equipment had already started to arrive in the country. It sent fresh waves of anxiety through European capitals and inside the Pentagon on Thursday about whether such moves could embolden Russia — and which ally might turn into the next target. “We had no idea this was co...

  May 15, 2026,   4:05 p.m. ET The Trump administration is considering the establishment of a $1.7 billion fund to compensate allies investigated by the Justice Department under President Biden, creating an ethical, legal and political minefield for Republicans and the department’s leadership. The unusual plan, which Democrats and former government officials criticized as a vast political slush fund financed by taxpayers, has yet to be finalized or approved, according to three people familiar with the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The proposal comes in response to various claims President Trump has made against a federal government he himself controls. He  has sought compensation  for the leak of his tax returns during his first term, as well as the investigations into his handling of classified documents after he left office and into his 2016 campaign’s well established ties to Russia.

  The conflict has also delivered an  economic windfall  to President Vladimir Putin of Russia, increasing the country’s oil revenue and loosening sanctions.  It has strengthened the hand of China — expanding its  influence in regional energy markets , enhancing its global sway and perhaps whetting its appetite for an excursion of its own in, say, Taiwan.  Two decades ago, the United States lectured China on the need to become a “ responsible stakeholder ” in the international system. Now, as Trump and President Xi Jinping meet in Beijing, which country has the more credible claim to that role?

  Trump Will Drop $10 Billion Suit Against IRS In Exchange For $1.7B 'Weaponization' Fund For Allies President Donald Trump plans to drop his $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a so-called $1.7 billion "weaponization" fund to compensate the president's allies who claim they were targeted by the Biden administration,  ABC News reported  on Thursday.  The fund would reportedly be overseen by a commission that would have full control over the $1.7 billion in taxpayer funds, and the authority to settle claims brought by anyone who alleges they were harmed by the Biden administration's "weaponization" of the justice system.  The claimants include nearly 1,600 individuals charged in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, as well as allies with personal ties to Trump himself. Now, the next time Dotard calls for an Insurrection, the loonies will show up in force, looking for a payday, if/when they are arrested, and then par...

 BUT, he’s getting a slap on his tiny, purple wrist, as he further monetizes the office of President, adding to the BILLIONS in profit that he’s already banked. Trump Ethics Filing Reveals Thousands Of Trades Tied To U.S. Corporate Securities Examples of large purchases, valued at between $1 million and $5 million each, were an S&P 500 Index fund, Nvidia Corp. and Apple Inc, among others. The new reports cover just the first three months of 2026 and list transaction values in broad ranges rather than exact amounts, showing a cumulative value of around $750 million. The timing of the trades suggests suspiciously ‘good timing’.

 

 

 

  Politics Is Breaking Us — Just Ask These Therapists The political therapy boom has arrived. Others, though, have found a better way to cope with the mentally deficient asshole who is systematically wrecking our country, draining the treasury, upending the world economy with stoopid tariffs and a disastrous, illegal war, while turning the entire world against a country they used to love and admire. We blog…putting our thoughts down, flushing the hate/disgust from our brains, so we don’t have to confront the MAGA morons in our lives…asking how anyone can be SO gullible and ignorant. Wouldn’t work for everyone, but putting my thoughts down, knowing over a thousand readers per day are checking my posts and probably learning a LOT that they’d never hear in their rightwingnut bubbles helps me stay sane, which, when all is said and done, is ‘Job One’, in these crazy days, when a jackass like Donald F-ing Trump has infested the White House and surrounded himself with incompetent, spinele...

 Not long after partying with the US Hockey team, while on a tour of Italy, Kash went on an ‘inspection tour’ of offices in Australia and New Zealand, and managed to squeeze in a two day stay in Hawaii, where he snorkeled around the USS Arizona, between visits to the Tiki Bars. I wonder how many bottles of his Private Reserve whiskey survived the trip? Boss Hogg’s administration…every one worse than the rest….

Someone pleeeeaaasse, tell me this is a joke.

  President Donald Trump is actively stopping offshore wind projects in the United States, just as the industry was poised to grow significantly, as it has in the rest of the world. Offshore wind energy has the potential to deliver  large amounts of clean energy along  U.S. coastlines. Three offshore wind farms are open in the United States and three more have begun delivering power as they finish construction or final testing before fully opening.  There are more than 40 federal offshore wind leases. The Trump administration is buying some leases back,  giving payouts to energy companies  to walk away from offshore wind, and Trump has  erected other roadblocks for the industry , while  going all-in on fossil fuels .  His stance runs counter to most countries that are embracing  using wind turbines at sea  to help meet a growing demand for electricity cleanly. China, where  Trump is attending a summit this week , is the global ...

 And, if you think he plans to relinquish his POWER in 2028, please remove your head from your ass.

 Our warriors scored two goals in the last 2 minutes of the game and then won in OT. Wow, what a match, cheered on by our daughter, in the second row. Luv that playoff hockey….

 

The Forest Service not reorganizing, it is dismantling, says the Forest Service Workers Union. The NFFE union has called on Congress to block the administration’s recently announced reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service, saying that “in reality this is not a reorganization; it is a dismantling of a 121-year-old institution that manages 193 million acres of public land, an area larger than the state of Texas.” The recently announced  plan  includes among other things eliminating regional offices, closing of research facilities.

 Yup, those brave watchdogs in Boss Hogg’s administration are tirelessly pursuing the scofflaws….but ONLY in Blue States, like Minnesota, California and Colorado, where they have withheld BILLIONS in already appropriated funds, for infrastructure, disaster aid and water projects, among many other punitive actions against their political enemies. And if you’re surprised, as this criminal, partisan pack of thieves has taken over our once democratic country, just remove your head from your ass and take a peek at the new reality….

 Experts say the overall cost is well over $100 Billion, and rising. Wow, who yo gonna believe? HA!

 For the ‘crime’ of reporting that the criminal conman paid only $750 in income tax, on hundreds of millions in income, Boss Hogg is suing the IRS, of his his administration, run by people HE appointed, for $10 BILLION, and it looks like the asshole is gonna get a YUUGE payday. “But I ask you tonight to pay attention to the one that he appears to be about to pull off, because it’s got to be the greatest heist in American history, a direct transfer of billions of your taxpayer dollars directly into the bank account and the pockets of Donald Trump,” he continued. Trump  sued the Internal Revenue Service  in January over the unlawful release of his tax returns by a federal contractor during his first term  and was given a May 20 deadline  to convince U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams that he doesn’t have a conflict of interest. OH REALLY? You just can’t make up bullshit like this, as the LYING, morally w, arrogant, greedy asshole raids the US Treasury, and WTEC...

  Cuba’s energy and mines minister earlier in the day said that because of Trump’s blockade, the nation had completely run out of diesel and fuel oil, and that its power grid had entered a “critical” state. “We have absolutely no fuel (oil), and absolutely no diesel,” Energy Minister Vicente de la O said on state-run media. “We have no reserves, and people are starving.” Just like the ‘financial situation’ of Americans, Boss Hogg doesn’t care, as he plans to take over Cuba, like he did Venezuela and is trying to do, unsuccessfully, in Iran….

 “Xi, y ou’re a great leader. Sometimes people don’t like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it’s true. I always tell the truth.” OMG! Excuse me while I PUKE! Google ‘100, (or 10, or 500, or 1000, etc) worst LIES told by Donald Trump, and check out his YUUUGE documented pile of Total Bullshit! He lies SO MUCH that no one is surprised, shocked or even cares anymore, cuz it’s just EXPECTED.

  CONSUMER PROTECTIONS   Senate Republicans block effort to reverse changes to Consumer Protection Agency   The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been gutted since the Trump administration took over the bureau in February 2025. The bureau has rescinded 67 policies under its acting director, Russell Vought, who is also President Donald Trump’s budget director. Vought has said his goal effectively is to dismantle the agency, which was created to protect consumers from predatory practices by Big Business. “The Trump administration is hell-bent on destroying the agency,” said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the top defender of the bureau in Congress. Warren added that the changes at the bureau signal that “the Trump administration has abandoned consumers and is making life more expensive for them, while adding to the overall profits of corporations.”

 It seems Boss Hogg and his Jack booted thugs have crippled the farm, construction, vegetable, meat processing and many other businesses that depend on low priced workers to do the jobs that no one else  will. Duh…who could have seen THIS coming, as Dotard’s private, well armed, overpaid army terrorizes the workers that have fueled our economy for generations, although his Gestapo was created/funded with the LIES that they would only deport the ‘worst of the worst’, BUT 80% of those ousted are just essential workers. Screw the KYING, morally bankrupt, arrogant, greedy asshole who’s wrecking country with his wannabe dictator bullshit, and all you head up your ass, blind, gullible enablers. When an immigrant is removed, the reasoning was that it creates a job for a U.S.-born worker, which is not at all what’s actually happening, she said. “Because immigrants take jobs that are undesirable for lots of reasons, they’re more dirty, dangerous, seasonal, lower-paid, et cetera, it’s a...

 Not the US, under the thumb of Boss Hogg, the Big Oil puppet, as he pays BILLIONS to cancel projects that are nearly complete. Trump’s Push to Keep Coal Plants Open Is Costing Hundreds of Millions Costs have been mounting in the year since the Trump administration began directing aging coal plants to say open. At the cost to our treasury, air and water, the jackass is taking us BACKWARD, to last century’s dirty, inefficient polluting coal plants that cost hundreds of millions to bring out of retirement, while mothballing the sources of energy preferred by the rest of the world. WHY? Because he was/is bought and paid for by Big Oil, who gave his campaign a $BILLION to sell their dirty, polluting fuel. And it worked for them, just not for us, and future generations, who will suffer the consequences is SO many ways. Screw the jackass and the morons who are complicit in wrecking our air, water, economy and future…. Trump’s Push to Keep Coal Plants Open Is Costing Hundreds of Millions ...

 Well, screw you, moron, you LOST your money. Read the fine print… It plainly states these phones may NEVER be delivered, because of ‘regulations’. Bottom line, you’re a MAGA moron… Nuff said, you gullible, ignorant waste of human flesh…

  'Did He Say That?': Republicans Confronted With Trump's Words On Americans' Finances GOP lawmakers marched to a similar beat when asked about the president's show of indifference, when he  admitted he ‘doesn’t think  about Americans’ financial situations’. Wow, those few times when the jackass accidentally tells the truth, the asshole just digs himself in deeper, as he admits he doesn’t give a shit about the average American….unless he can SELL them some of his worthless bullshit, like tennies, Chinese Bibles, fake guitars, photos, watches, vodka, NFT’s, fragrances,  pieces of his clothing, photos, caps, super hero trading cards, etc.  PLUS the billions he’s scammed from the cryptocurrency used to BRIBE him! What a greedy, arrogant, LYING grifter….idolized by the MAGA morons.

  The week is still young. But it’s already been a humdinger for President Donald Trump. In the span of 24 hours, he  appeared to doze off  ( again ) while his top health official espoused the dangers of declining teenage sperm. He called the White House a “ shit house .” He mused about  making Venezuela the 51st state  (after having already captured its leader). He  struggled to identify Indiana University football coach Curt Cignetti, despite standing right next to him and having seemingly looked directly at him moments earlier. And late Monday night, he unleashed  a wild social media flurry  that stood out even by his often-outlandish standards: posting and reposting more than 50 times in less than an hour. Those included long-debunked theories about Dominion voting machines deleting millions of votes in the 2020 election, posts about the decade-old Hillary Clinton email server controversy,  a made-up claim about a GOP senator from a hoax ...

  A highway more than 1,700 miles long, stretching from Texas all the way to Montana, could soon be named after   President Donald Trump   if a recently introduced bill is passed. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced legislation on Monday, May 11, to designate US Highway 287 as Interstate 47 and name it in honor of the president as “Trump Interstate,” according to a  news release from the senator's office . US-287 crosses through five states: Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.

  Today the   Times   has an article about Trump suddenly denying that he knows anything about the private contractor   “that   the Interior Dept. chose”   to resurface the DC Reflecting Pool (which Trump keeps calling “the Reflection Pond”).  This, of course, is the classic Trumpian response to the news today that this particular contractor (which Trump has been bragging for weeks about personally selecting for a “national emergency” no-bid contract because they did “great work” on one of his golf courses) is now seven times over budget and way behind schedule.      It’s the old Sgt. Schultz dodge: “ I know nut-tink.”   So some wag submitted the following Reader Comment to the  Times :   When Trump says he knows everything, he knows nothing. When he says he knows nothing, he knows everything.   IMHO, they should carve that on Trump’s tombstone, in the very near future.

  WASHINGTON (AP) — President  Donald Trump ’s plan to put weapons in space — pitched as a  “Golden Dome for America” missile defense program  — is estimated to cost $1.2 trillion over a 20-year period, according to a new analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, a far heftier sum than the  initial $175 billion price tag  he gave last year.
