Trump says sex in the eighties was 'his personal Vietnam' The Republican presidential candidate had told shock jock Howard Stern that he felt 'lucky' not to have picked up an STD while having sex during the decade.

“‘I've been so lucky in terms of that whole world,’ [Trump] said of [STDs]. 'It is a dangerous world out there,' he said. 'It's scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.'”

The “alternative investment” will be politicians. For just $50M, you can own a Representative in the House of Congress! For $75M, a Senator!

Act now while the offer is still available!

Miller and the Trumplings will find a new “enemy within” when all the “illegals” (their term, not mine) are deported. Any minority will do as the new “enemy within”. Gays. Mormons. Seventh Day Adventists. Those who open their soft-boiled egg from the big end instead of the small end.

Too many people don’t follow the news and see the interconnection of issues.

Classic example: pandemic disruption in supply chains led to higher prices. Voters couldn’t understand that and blamed Biden, then Harris, for inflation.

We live in the Age of Peak Stupidity™️.

Trump aide Homan accepted $50,000 in bribery sting operation, sources say In the alleged scheme, Homan promised immigration-related government contracts when he joined the Trump administration in exchange for the money.

Hey, has anyone spotted Tom Homan coming out of Cava with paper bags full of cash lately?🧐

“DHS reported that the officer who opened fire had been ‘seriously injured’ during the encounter. But body-worn camera footage first obtained by the Sun-Times shows that he described his injuries as ‘nothing major’ shortly after the shooting.”

He might’ve pulled a hamstring. Or something. 🙄

“Logic. L-O-G-I-C-K. Logic. And don’t you Laurentian Elites try and use your “logic” on us. We’re down-home prairie people with dirt under our fingernails, cow patties on our boots and oil in our blood. We got the knowledge of the working man.”

“a spokeswoman for the [DHS{, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were ‘rammed by 10 cars’ and ‘boxed in.’ Agents then fired ‘defensive shots’ when they discovered the woman ‘was armed with a semi-automatic weapon’.”

Did they see the “semi-automatic weapon” before shooting?

Heard on MSNBC Rev Al Sharpton’s show the mayor of Las Vegas calling the city’s lack of tourists “the Trump Slump”.

No sane person would visit the U.S. these days.

Confident. Incorrigible. Bully: Little Donny was a lot like candidate Donald Trump “He had a reputation for saying anything that came into his head,” a schoolmate recalls.

“[a neighbour] left [her son] in a playpen in a back yard adjoining the Trumps’ property, [the neighbour] returned to find Donald throwing rocks at her son. ‘She saw Donald standing at the fence,’ [her son] said, ‘using the playpen for target ­practice.’”

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

“According to lawyers from the NGO Adalah, the rights of the crew members have been ‘systematically violated’? activists denied water, sanitation, medication and immediate access to their legal representatives.”

No surprise. It’s Israel. The fascists rule.

This is the only way to respond. Lock doors and deny access to ICE. Deny them service anywhere they happen to be. Follow them with bullhorns and taunt them. Give prior warning to areas they will raid. Non-violent civil disobedience is the only solution.

There will come a time when these people will be held to account for their actions. I just hope it is within my lifetime.

So now I’m wondering what items are sold by “Cancellation Shoes” in Portland? Are they like Dorothy’s ruby red slippers in “The Wizard of Oz”? If we just say “I wish he’d go away, I wish he’d go away” while closing our eyes and wearing our Cancellation shoes, he might actually go away? 🧐

Kristallnacht: The Night of Broken Glass Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, was the Nazi dictatorship’s declaration of war against German and Austrian Jews in November 1938.

Kristallnacht took place on November 9-10 across Austria and Germany in 1938.

On September 30 2025 ICE agents terrorized the residents of an apartment building in Chicago, breaking down doors and handcuffing the residents and taking them away in vans.

This ADL article is the best backgounder I have read on antifa. From 2017.

“The antifa movement is a loose collection of groups, networks and individuals. It began in the 1960s in Europe, and had reached the US by the end of the 1970s. The movement’s ideology is rooted in the belief that the Nazi party [should’ve been opposed more forcefully]”

Just like the East German Stasi, the Russian NKVD, the Gestapo and all other repressive police forces in other dictatorships.

Journalists and media personalities need to stop being mealy mouthed puppets. Stop saying things like “not strictly true” when it’s a lie. Stop saying “Trump is pushing boundaries” when he’s breaking laws. Stop saying his actions are “unprecedented” when he breaks all societal norms.

Let’s try to understand this: Trump and Netanyahu agreed on a “peace plan” without involving Hamas, then decided to give them a deadline to accept or reject the “peace plan”.

The guy who claims to be a master of negotiation and “the art of the deal” expects this approach to be successful? 🙄
