    BREAKING: Donald Trump gets confused while attacking former President Biden and accidentally accuses him of allowing thunderstorms into the United States.

    It might be time to send this guy back for another cognitive test...

    "Biden let a lot of supercells into the United States. He was an incompetent president. He had no idea what he was doing," Trump said to reporters on Air Force One.

    A supercell is a thunderstorm that contains something called a mesocyclone, a form of powerful rotating updraft. They are often the most damaging kind of storm and are created and controlled by Mother Nature, not Joe Biden.

    Trump was responding to a question about the possibility of Iranian retaliation in the United States in response to his illegal bombing of Iran which he carried out without Congressional approval. The phrase Trump was looking for was "sleeper cell," a group of terrorists that wait dormant inside a country until they're ordered to carry out an attack.

    "It was gross incompetence," Trump continued. "Among everything else, he let a lot of supercells in, many from Iran. But hopefully we’ll take care of them. What Biden did to this country should never be forgotten."

    Ironically enough, studies suggest that climate change will likely cause more supercells to hit the United States in the coming years. Since Trump insists that climate change is a "hoax" and bends over backwards to help fossil fuel companies, it could be said that he himself is allowing more supercells into the country.

    One might say it was a bit nit-picky as the Loon grabbed a wrong phrase, but never-the-less he is no less stupid and no less in need of juicing up his cult who gladly accept just about anything the stupid clown says.

    Fine if you are fortunate enough to do REALLY well, but it should not be on a poor man's back. Pay your fair share in taxes.

    BREAKING: Republican Senator Rand Paul rains on Donald Trump's Iran victory parade by revealing that the illegal bombing may not have been as successful as the MAGA president wants us to believe.

    The truth is slowly trickling out now...

    "Nobody wants them to have a nuclear weapon but I think it's still unknown what the result of this will be," Paul said during an appearance on far-right streaming service Real America News. "Will Iran capitulate and say 'never again, we,'re gonna behave, we want to be part of the community of nations' or will Iran respond with a sprint to creating a nuclear weapon?"

    It must be noted that Donald Trump tore up the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that President Obama signed with Iran. By every metric, that deal was working and Iran was not moving towards nuclear weapon development, but Trump shredded it in an effort to hurt his predecessor's legacy. He broke America's word with Iran, blamed them, and then bombed them.

    "There are news reports out today saying that 400 kilograms of enriched uranium at 60% was spirited out before the attacks," continued Paul. "I don't know the truth of this but it's been in the news. There's also the question of whether some centrifuges were removed as well or whether there are other sites."

    NBC News has reported that the “extent of the damage to the deeply buried facility at Fordo” as well as the sites at Isfahan and Natanz has yet to be determined. According to that report, roughly 400 kilograms of 60% enriched uranium is still “publicly unaccounted for.”

    "I'm not sure you can bomb away the ability to make a nuclear weapon. It takes about 40 kilograms and if they took 400 kilograms, they've got enough for about ten weapons," he went on. "That could be hidden almost anywhere. So we'll see what happens. I hope that they won't develop a nuclear weapon. I hope that the war will not continue."

    "But I guess I rest my judgement on the previous incursions of so many presidents from Obama to Bush overseas that really didn't go as planned and I think lost a lot of treasure and a lot of life needlessly," he added.

    Trump's own Vice President J.D. Vance has implied that the strikes were not wholly successful—

    "We are going to work in the coming weeks to ensure that we do something with that fuel, and that’s one of the things that we’re going to have conversations with the Iranians about," he told ABC News.

    If the nuclear sites and uranium were destroyed, there would be no need for such talks. Something isn't adding up here and meanwhile Donald Trump is moving on to new distractions while the rest of us pray that this haphazard ceasefire holds.

    Horrifying. There are truly no words. This doesn't "make America great" in ANY way, shape or form!

    I pray all the people who have engaged in behaviors like the above are "dealt" with and it shouldn't be in the words of the Loon, "too nice".

    Do tell, it took a heck of a lot less — just one tv debate while Pres. Biden was very ill and he was diss'ed till he turned to Harris so she could run.

    MAJOR BREAKING: TRUMP FAIL: CNN reports that "early U.S. intelligence suggests Trump's strikes did NOT destroy Iran's nuclear sites," and only set their nuclear program back "a few months."

    Likely why he has been especially mouth about CNN lately.

    I'm a bit perturbed right now. That is not very presidential language the Loon is using. Then again, since when has he been presidential anyway. Still, I find it highly improper. I don't mind the word mind you. I've been know to let fly myself on occasion. But this is another one of those things that are in my view fairly disqualifying.

    Christina WaltersWe also had Steve Irwin and then later the Wild Kratts to teach us all about the wonders of nature. And Captain Planet to encourage us as well.

    Guess it's age. I now recall having seen many of these magazines in several places for quite some time and never noticed when they stopped. I think — like Mr. Rogers and others like him, it is all good for kids.

    Okay, I guess you can tell I'm not very vain at all. What is it with these guys who seem to want women with enhanced busts, and or maybe lips a bit as well. So, I do not find the girl friend really too attractive although at the same time Bezos isn't so much either in my eyes.

    I find it highly annoying that you can be eye candy (so to speak) but looked upon as empty a the very top of your body and not to be trusted for more than perhaps baby-making or looking nice.

    Just an after-thought. I read in passing yesterday Venice is not all that happy with this couple. Who knows. Perhaps they too think it better to feed people than to use millions on a marriage that likely only exists because there is some greed along with some notoriety.

    Lauren Sanchez at one time resembled a normally attractive human being and then decided that she needed to up her game to appeal to more men. Personally I think she is ugly after all the plastic surgery she has had and that more men are probably looking at her breasts than her face or are concerned if there is any gray matter between those ears. I think I read that both she and Bezos were married to others when they met and quickly dumped their respective spouses so they could forge this marriage. I hope she didn't sign a pre-nup and I really don't forsee a "until death do us part" marriage here.

    Venice has a right to protest this invasion. I think George Clooney also married there but with not the same amount of fanfare. Venice is not that large and the narrow streets can easily be overcome by large crowds. I do feel for them because this does impact on the residents ability to go on with their lives.

    Lauren Sanchez looks like a plastic sex doll.

    Ha! Although, I'm thinking that the plastic sex dolls look a little more realistic than Lauren!

    Thank you ladies. I didn't even know the Sanchez name. I could have googled it but she and Bezos left me so un-moved I didn't do it. Perhaps she and Kimberly Guilfoyle shared info on plastic surgeons. In my book, other than maybe a very slight adjustment for perhaps a scar or something — trying to improve on what you were given doesn't seem to ever 'look' like the real thing. I'm baffled as to why you assume you can improve on what the good lord already provided. Kimberly Guilfoyle looks to me more like a caricature. I was not surprised Jr. Trump dumped her.

    Like you ladies as well — somehow I don't see the "till" death going on in this Bezos marriage either. Even more so finding out that each of them so easily chose to ditch a marriage in order to have each other. Guess that is what well off people get to do.

    ? Bragging at NATO about cease-fire. He did say neither country stopped and that was why he would not be given a Nobel Peace Prize. He'll get one as soon as I get mine. I didn't want any firing — from them or the Loon either.

    BREAKING: Donald Trump gets publicly humiliated at the NATO summit as a reporter bluntly asks him about his utterly failed promise to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine within "24 hours" of taking office.

    The rest of the world sees right through this con man...

    "You once said that you would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. You later said you said that sarcastically," said a reporter from Austria National Television.

    "Of course it was sarcastic," interrupted Trump.

    "But you've now been in office for five months and five days. Why have you not been able to end the Ukraine war?" asked the reporter.

    "Because it's more difficult than people would have any idea," said Trump. "Uh, Vladimir Putin has been more difficult frankly. I had some problems with Zelensky. You may have read about them. And it's been more difficult than other wars."

    The "people" in question are Trump and his MAGA supporters. No serious person thought that the Ukraine war could be ended in 24 hours. It was a sincere campaign promise made by a deeply ignorant man that he is now trying to retcon into sarcasm.

    Trump was so busy fawning over Putin that he failed to see him as a threat and foolishly assumed that he could be easily coerced into a peace treaty. Worse yet, Trump's public attacks on Zelensky — including his infamous Oval Office outburst — have weakened America's hand at the negotiating table. Putin sees that our support of Ukraine is questionable at best and so he sees little reason to negotiate.

    "I mean look, we just ended a war in twelve days that was simmering for thirty years, frankly," Trump continued.

    It remains to be seen if the ceasefire between Israel and Iran will hold, but the reports that Iranian nuclear facilities were simply set back a few months rather than "obliterated" puts the peace into serious doubt.

    "Uh, we ended Rwanda and the Congo. They're coming to sign the documents. We've already signed basic documents but they're coming I think to the White House on Friday," said Trump, although he likely couldn't point to either country on a map.

    "We ended, uh, Serbia was gonna go at it. But maybe the most important of all: India and Pakistan," said Trump. "And that wasn't whether or not they may some day have nukes like we're talking about in the Middle East, like we're talking about with Israel and Iran. This is they have nuclear weapons. I ended that with a series of phone calls on trade."

    This is textbook Trump. He claims credit for the successes of serious career diplomats and negotiators, but refuses to take responsibility for the things that he has personally ruined and complicated. This man is desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize and instead history will remember him as a deeply incompetent warmonger.

    He has used sarcastic before because he gets caught out on something that he could DO but somehow hasn't gotten done and frankly has no answer. Then he can just drift it out until he has totally 'left' the subject.

    BREAKING: CNN drops a major bombshell and reveals that Donald Trump is planning to escalate his fascist crackdown on migrants by dismissing hundreds of thousands of asylum claims — making the individuals immediately vulnerable to deportation.

    And it gets so much worse...

    According to two "sources familiar with the matter" who spoke to CNN, the people being targeted by this new measure entered the country without documentation but later applied for asylum. In other words, they are trying to go through the legal channels. Rather than reward them, Trump wants to bring the hammer down on them to appease his xenophobic MAGA base.

    Over the past ten years, roughly 25% of the people who applied for asylum with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) stated that they entered the United States without documentation. In total, it amounts to about 250,000 people.

    While U.S. law mandates that people seeking protection from violence or persecution in their country of origin may claim asylum and remain in America, one of Trump's first moves this term was to all but end the ability to make such requests at the southern border. The truth is that MAGA supporters don't care about getting rid of criminals like they claim, they want to get rid of all immigrants to bring about their vision of a white nationalist America.

    CNN also obtained a memo from MAGA Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem empowering her subordinates to fast-track the deportations of people applying for affirmative asylum through USCIS. She has directed them to "take additional actions to enforce civil and criminal violations of the immigration laws."

    The fast-track deportation process will allow Trump's immigration enforcers to remove people without even granting them a hearing before an immigration judge in what amounts to a blatant scheme to undermine our legal system. This is not about law and order, it's about reshaping demographics.

    "They’re turning the agency that we think of as providing immigration benefits as an enforcement arm for ICE," said Sarah Mehta, the deputy director of government affairs for the equality division of the American Civil Liberties Union.

    “The government should process asylum applications – not throw them out. Every asylum seeker should have an opportunity to have their asylum case processed," said Conchita Cruz, co-executive director of Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project. "These are immigrants who have been in the U.S. working legally for years and are contributing to local communities throughout the country. Dismissing their asylum cases will hurt them, their families, employers, and communities that rely on them."

    As evidenced by the millions of people who took to the streets for the "No Kings" protests, Americans want less of Trump's cruel anti-migrant policies, not more. He's ruling on behalf of a vocal, racist minority and it's time for the rest of us to stand up against it.
