Chump-in-Chief Caught Cheating Again

Convicted felon Donald Trump was accused of cheating during his golf round at Turnberry last weekend.

“Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump,” author Rick Reilly has said that Trump “cheats like a mafia accountant.”  As for any of the titles Trump has claimed to win, they’re “as fake as Velveeta cheese,” according to Reilly.

The viral video shared by anti-right-wing site PatriotTakes shows the president’s caddie casually dropping a ball away from higher grass near a bunker. That prompted observers to allege the once-dubbed “commander in cheat” took liberties to get an easier shot at Scotland's Turnberry course.

 

Prudish Oklahoma Schools Superintendent Caught With Porn in His Office

Porn fan Ryan Walters 

 

 

 

After a public backlash for pushing Bibles endorsed by President Donald Trump on Oklahoma students, Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters is now mired in scandal for an entirely different reason — images of nude women on his office television.  

Two members of the Oklahoma State Board of Education are accusing Walters — who was on Trump’s shortlist of education secretary candidates last year — of screening graphic images on a television connected to his computer Thursday during a closed-door meeting focused on teaching credentials and student attendance.

Board members Ryan Deatherage and Becky Carson allege that, in Walters’ office last week, they saw full-frontal nudity on the TV.  Carson told The Oklahoman that she confronted Walters about what she’d seen, demanding he turn off the television at once, and he complied.  Deatherage said he witnessed the exchange between Carson and Walters. A third board member, who said he did not see the confrontation, described the superintendent as “shook up” and “obviously a little flustered or embarrassed” during the executive session. 

Now the state’s Republican leaders, including Gov. Kevin Stitt, say they support a probe into the conduct of the conservative superintendent who has called teachers “perverts” and backed bans of books he claims contain pornography. Walters has also faced criticism from LGBTQ+ groups for his policies and rhetoric, which came under scrutiny last year when a nonbinary Oklahoma teenager named Nex Benedict died after a physical altercation with classmates.

FYI-- Oklahoma was recently ranked 50th in the nation in a new study on school quality by personal finance company Wallet Hub.

 

Trump Embarrasses Himself Yet Again With Senile Rant on Wind Power

Convicted felon Donald Trump spent part of his weekend in Scotland reviving his old grievances against wind power, even claiming at one point that it was “killing” Americans.  During a meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leven, Trump abruptly detoured from immigration to wind turbines. “And the other thing I say to Europe: We will not allow a windmill to be built in the United States,” Trump said. “They’re killing us.”  (note: over 1.1 million gigawatt hours of wind power were approved during Trump's first term, representing 28% of current capacity in the U.S.)

“They’re killing the beauty of our scenery, our valleys, our beautiful plains ― and I’m not talking about airplanes. I’m talking about beautiful plains, beautiful areas in the United States, and you look up and you see windmills all over the place. It’s a horrible thing. It’s the most expensive form of energy. It’s no good. They’re made in China, almost all of them.”

Trump further whined that wind turbines “rust and rot in eight years” and then can’t be “buried” because they will harm the soil.  “The whole thing is a con job,” he said. “It’s very expensive. And in all fairness, Germany tried it and wind doesn’t work.”

Much of what the president said was wildly inaccurate: Germany gets more than a quarter of its energy from wind, turbines last about 30 years (not eight), according to the U.S Department of Energy, it’s not the most expensive form of energy, and they’re not “almost all” made in China.

Trump, who has frequently attacked renewable energy, has a special hatred of wind power that likely began some two decades ago, when an offshore wind farm was proposed near the land that would become his golf resort in Scotland.  He sued to block it, lost and has complained about wind and other forms of renewable energy since.

Trump has previously taken his anti-wind stance to absurd extremes, such as in 2019, when he falsely claimed wind turbines cause cancer.  “The wind, the wind, it sounds so wonderful,” he said last year. “The wind, the wind, the wind is, the wind is bullshit, I’ll tell you.”

Don't Try to School the Fed Chair on Cost Figures

Convicted felon Donald Trump visited Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the Fed's headquarters renovation site this week.  For months, Trump has been attempting to humiliate and bully the Fed chair into lowering interest rates-- to no avail.   The Trump administration arranged the tour, believing that Trump would be able to embarrass Powell with a surprise revelation in front of the media.

At the construction site, Trump tried to claim that the cost of the Federal Reserve’s renovation project had surged to $3.1 billion, compared with the Fed's official figure of $2.5 billion. Powell called him out on it, with the awkward interaction and live fact-check going viral on social media.

Release the Files!

 

Death by MRI Machine

A man was killed after being sucked into an MRI machine when he walked into a room where a scan was in progress while wearing a metal chain, authorities say.

According to investigators, officers responding to a 911 call in Westbury, Long Island NY were told that a 61-year-old man had entered an MRI room where a scan was underway.  The man was identified as Keith McAllister, and had accompanied his wife for her knee scan. His wife, Adrienne told officials that she called him in to help her off the table after her scan.  However, he was wearing a 20-pound chain for weight training.  Even though after scans are complete, MRI machines still run power to their large magnets so they are ready for the next scan.  The 20-pound chain was pulled towards the machine, causing him to be drawn into i unexpectedly.

In 2001, a 6-year-old boy was killed during an MRI at a hospital in Valhalla, New York, after a metal oxygen tank flew across the room when the machine’s electromagnet turned on. The magnetized tank struck the child, who died of blunt force trauma injuries. 

 

More Details on Trump's Friendship with Pervert Epstein

The New York Times published more scathing details on Trump's involvement with Epstein, reporting that when convicted felon Donald Trump hosted a calendar girls competition at Mar-a-Lago in 1993, there was only one other guest: Jeffrey Epstein.

George Houraney, a Florida businessman who arranged the event, told the Times in 2019 he was surprised when he saw the guest list.  “I said, ‘Donald, this is supposed to be a party with V.I.P.s,’” Houraney said. “‘You’re telling me it’s you and Epstein?’”  Jill Harth, Houraney’s then-girlfriend, later accused Trump of forcibly kissing her and fondling her, and keeping her from leaving the same night of the party. 

The report comes as the president is facing mounting pressure to release all files related to the Epstein case-- to which Trump has desperately responded by calling it the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax.”

In June, Elon Musk wrote on social media that Trump is listed in the Epstein files and that’s why they haven’t been made public.  More and more, people are coming to the same conclusion.

The New York Times’ report published Saturday details the friendship between the two men, dating back to 1990 when they first met. The two had a falling out in 2004 after they both wanted a piece of real estate. But in the 20-plus years in between, the two men socialized together in both New York and Florida at parties, including a Victoria’s Secret “Angels” party and a party with NFL cheerleaders.  

In 2002, Trump told New York Magazine that Epstein was a “terrific guy.”  “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump said. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

 

Trump Caught Sending Lewd Birthday Card to Sicko Epstein

The Wall Street Journal reported on a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore convicted felon Donald Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday. The letter bearing Trump’s name includes text framed by the outline of what appears to be a hand-drawn naked woman and ends with, “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” according to the newspaper. The outlet described the contents of the letter but did not publish a photo showing it entirely.

Trump mounted a pathetic rebuttal, saying “I don’t draw pictures,” he wrote on Truth Social.  Of course, this was quickly proven to be an outright lie.

Trump Alienating His Base With a Militant Stance On Par With the Biden Administration

Convicted felon Donald Trump has overseen nearly as many air strikes in the first five months of his second term as Joe Biden launched in his entire presidency.  Trump’s onslaughts on Houthi militants in Yemen and jihadists in Somalia have been more ferocious than Biden’s, and he has ordered strikes on Iraq, Syria and most recently, Iran.

After campaigning on a pledge to end American involvement in military conflicts, he has sharply escalated the country’s air campaigns, according to the data from Acled (Armed Conflict Location and Event Data), which maps conflicts.  Trump has overseen 529 air strikes since his inauguration, compared with 555 over the entire four years of the previous administration.

Trump Crashes the FIFA Club World Cup Final

Convicted felon Donald Trump showed up at the FIFA Club World Cup Finals on Sunday, and it was just embarrassing all around. From the stadium booing him to his comical attempt to insert himself into the victory celebration, the whole thing made him look like the grasping buffoon he is. 

After Chelsea FC pulled off an upset (beating Paris Saint-Germain FC, the expected winners, 3-0) they took to the pitch for the award ceremony. Enter Trump, who decided he should hand out medals and shove himself into the middle of the Chelsea squad as they gathered to receive the trophy for winning the Club Cup. 

FIFA President Gianni Infantino eventually had to pull Trump back so the players could celebrate without him. Chelsea’s Cole Palmer, named the top player of the tournament after scoring two of Chelsea’s three goals, was as perplexed as everyone else about this. “I knew he was going to be here, but I didn’t know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy, so I was a bit confused.”

You know what else is confusing? That the trophy Chelsea was hoisting may be a replica, because according to Trump, Infantino gave him the real trophy during a March White House visit and told him he could keep it. Hard to know what's what, given that Trump is such a complete bullshitter.

On Sunday, Trump was booed as soon as he walked onto the pitch. He was booed when he was shown on the Jumbotron. He was booed during the national anthem.

Data Centers Are Screwing Up the Water Supply

When Beverly Morris retired in 2016, she thought she had found her dream home - a peaceful stretch of rural Georgia, surrounded by trees and quiet.  Today, it's anything but.  Just 400 yards from her front porch in Fayette County sits a large, windowless building filled with servers, cables, and blinking lights.

It's a data center - one of many popping up across small-town America, and around the globe, to power everything from crypto currencies to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT.  "I can't live in my home with half of my home functioning and no water," Ms Morris says. "I can't drink the water."

She believes the construction of the center, which is owned by Meta (the parent company of Facebook), disrupted her private well, causing an excessive build-up of sediment. Ms Morris now hauls water in buckets to flush her toilet.  She says she had to fix the plumbing in her kitchen to restore water pressure. But the water that comes of the tap still has residue in it.  "I'm afraid to drink the water, but I still cook with it, and brush my teeth with it," says Morris. "Am I worried about it? Yes."

Naturally, Meta claims the two aren't connected.  In a statement to the BBC, Meta said that "being a good neighbor is a priority."  Of course, nobody believes that.  The company commissioned a groundwater study to investigate Morris's concerns.  To no one's surprise, the report said Meta's data center operation did "not adversely affect groundwater conditions in the area".  In Ms Morris' estimation, there's no doubt, that the company has worn out its welcome as her neighbor.   "This was my perfect spot," she says. "But it isn't anymore."

Natural Disaster Breeds Mob Violence in Guatemala

In a Guatemalan town reeling from recent earthquakes, residents took matters into their own hands on Thursday night, lynching five men they accused of looting empty homes. The violence unfolded in Santa Maria de Jesus, the hardest-hit area in Sacatepequez department, where tremors up to 5.7 magnitude have claimed seven lives since Tuesday and left widespread destruction.

Police spokesman Cesar Mateo said locals captured the suspects, beat them severely, and killed them over theft allegations. The men had reportedly targeted houses abandoned as families sought safety in shelters or with relatives amid ongoing aftershocks. Mateo stressed that while theft breaks the law, so does mob justice, urging communities to rely on authorities instead.

Videos being shared on social media showed one man on the ground, pummeled by a crowd before they doused him in gasoline and set him ablaze. Other clips capture the aftermath-- a charred motorcycle, scattered burned sticks, stones, and shattered glass along the 5th Avenue and 0 Street, where neighbors said the suspects tried to flee on bikes. Initial reports suggested four deaths, but police later updated the toll to five.

Right-Wing Extremism Takes Root in Canada

Two members of Canada's armed forces have been charged for alleged involvement in a plot to form an “anti-government militia” and forcibly take land in Quebec.  Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) arrested four people in total, and said three of the suspects had taken “concrete actions to facilitate terrorist activity”.

24-year-old Marc-Aurèle Chabot, 25yo Raphaël Lagacé and 24yo Simon Angers-Audet were charged with facilitating terrorist activity following their arrests.  They also face additional charges relating to the alleged illegal storage of guns and the possession of explosives and prohibited devices.  Police said a fourth suspect – 33yo Matthew Forbes, was charged with possessing guns, prohibited devices and explosives, among other offenses. 

The trio of twenty-year-olds "took part in military-style training, as well as shooting, ambush, survival and navigation exercises. They also conducted a scouting operation.”  The group was allegedly using a variety of guns – some prohibited – as well as high-capacity magazines and tactical equipment such as grenades and night-vision goggles.  The training reportedly took place between June 2021 and January last year in Quebec City and Montreal as well as Rolphton and Petawawa in Ontario.

Two of the suspects were active members of Canada's armed forces.  “The Canadian armed forces is taking these allegations very seriously and has fully participated in the investigation led by the RCMP,” the department said. It has not been confirmed which of the four suspects were in the military.

Police said investigations into the plot began in March 2023, with the force conducting searches in January last year that led to the seizure of 16 explosive devices, some 11,000 rounds of ammunition and other weapons in Quebec City.  Cpl Erique Gasse described the case as “ideologically motivated violent extremism”.

 

Careful Donald-- Your Racism is Showing

 

Trump Administration Caught Lying About Epstein Files

MAGA influencers are short-circuiting after President Donald Trump's Department of Justice on Sunday leaked a memo saying there are no bombshell files about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and that the deceased financier indeed committed suicide in a federal prison.

"This systematic review revealed no incriminating 'client list,'" said the joint memo from the DOJ and FBI, which was obtained by Axios. "There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."

Trump and his aides—including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino—had previously said the government was sitting on an Epstein client list to protect the powerful people within it. Bongino also bought into the conspiracy that Epstein was murdered in a prison to keep damaging information about powerful people from coming out in a trial.

After Trump reentered the White House, Bondi tried to appease the base that was demanding the release of the purported Epstein files by holding a stunt at the White House where she gave a group of Trump-loving social media personalities binders it claimed were filled with the purported documents. 

The binders, however, contained no new evidence and led to yet another MAGA meltdown.

When Trump’s MAGA base demanded more information, Bondi told Fox News that she had Epstein's client list "sitting on my desk right now to review"—a comment we now know to be a lie as the DOJ said in its memo that no client list ever existed.
