Breaking news: Trump appoints Sharpie as new head of Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Claims the promotion is justified because “It did such a good job of forecasting hurricanes.”

Of course, this is not true. But it’s plausible.

For those of us who don’t like Facebook, it’s a picture of a sign outside a fishmonger’s shop that says
“Free fish guts to throw at Trump”.

LEAVE IT!

I love the way Nicole has taken to mispronouncing press secretary KKKaroline’s name. Instead of saying lev-it, as the horror herself says it, Ms Wallace pronounces the last name as if she were scolding a naughty puppy eating a slipper.

I believe this is deliberate.

So, KKKaroline, when you’re at the podium spewing spin and falsehoods, I say “Leave it!”. No sane person believes a word you say.

Question: who's in charge in LA? Specifically, what person or group is coordinating

The tactics, actions and movements of the LAPD, the LA Sheriff’s Department, the illegally federalized Ca
National Guard and the Marines?

It seems the sheriff’s department is a bit more aggressive than any other force. Who’s telling them to do what?

Asking for a friend. His name is Tio Sammy.

An actual press secretary

Jen Psaki is taking a few minutes at the end of her show to answer actual questions asked during today’s press conference. Unlike Chucky Cathy, she is calm, respectful and honest.
I particularly liked her answer to “Why was the librarian of Congress fired?” She just put up a picture.
This was a great bit. She should continue it.

Borowitz: Trump offers to sell new pope $60 Bible. Be sure to read the last line.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a gesture intended to welcome the new pontiff, on Thursday Donald J. Trump offered to sell Pope Leo XIV a $60 Bible.

“You want to grab this deal while you can,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “It’s gonna cost a lot more after EU tariffs.”

Calling the Trump Bible “a very special Bible,” he added, “I know you have a lot of Bibles already at the Vatican, but none of them have parts written by Lee Greenwood.”

Meanwhile, in his first official act as pope, Leo ordered a photo of JD Vance posted at the Vatican security desk.
