“Federal employees at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) were greeted this morning by television sets at the agency’s Washington, DC, headquarters playing what appears to be an AI-generated video of President Donald Trump kissing the feet of Elon Musk, accompanied by the words “LONG LIVE THE REAL KING.”; 2/24/25, 5:56 PM

Connecticut’s Democrat-appointed, social worker-heavy Psychiatry Security Review Board approved the early release from a secure mental hospital of a cannibal ax murderer who ate his victim’s brain and eyeball with chopsticks and washed it down with a glass of sake.

Tyree Smith, 48, who killed and ate Angel “Tun Tun” Gonzalez in 2011, was deemed “not guilty by reason of insanity” by three judges and sentenced to 60 years in a maximum-security psychiatric facility.

But on Friday, the board, whose six members were appointed by Connecticut’s Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont, and only one of whom is an actual psychiatrist, decided in a majority decision that, despite the protests of both his and his victim’s families, Smith should get out 50 years early because he promised to take his meds.

The board concluded that Smith was not “experiencing cravings” to eat human flesh, but he would “reach out to his hospital” if he had the urge.

Leland said...: Sad news about Clint Hill’s passing. He was Jackie Kennedy’s Secret Service agent and the one seen jumping on the back of the Kennedy’s convertible as JFK was shot. He was 93.; 2/24/25, 6:04 PM
Inga said...: During the press conference with Macron today, Trump insulted himself by saying whoever negotiated the USMCA deal allowed the US to be taken advantage of. He said “Who would ever sign a deal like that?” Did he forget that was his deal he was so proud of during his first term?; 2/24/25, 6:10 PM

Jersey Fled said...: So the story that the Eagles had turned down an invitation to visit the White House seems to be BS.

Two news sources close to the Eagles are reporting that the team would be happy to attend if invited.; 2/24/25, 6:15 PM
rhhardin said...: I'd turn down an invitation to visit the White House too.; 2/24/25, 6:23 PM
Jupiter said...: Why do they have TVs at HUD HQ, anyway? Like, is that what they do, watch TV all day? I thought they watched TV from home.; 2/24/25, 6:24 PM
Leland said...: So the story that the Eagles had turned down an invitation to visit the White House seems to be BS.
It was a feel good story for Trump haters. It only needed to sound true to make their day. They’ll now pretend the truth isn’t, so they can sleep tonight. Consider how lucky the rest of us are that the we don’t find the truth debilitating.; 2/24/25, 6:35 PM
MadisonMan said...: They have TVs at HUD HQ because a Democrat supplied them with a 200% markup. That's my guess.; 2/24/25, 6:39 PM

I mean, you shouldn't laugh but "willing and prepared to give up (his podcast) in order to serve" is a genuinely great line.

Greater love hath no man than to lay down his podcast for his cabal.; 2/24/25, 7:05 PM

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Posted response:

Okay you’ve sold me.

Fire more of them; 2/24/25, 7:11 PM
Jersey Fled said...: Trump has criticized the current trade dynamics with Mexico and Canada as “very unfair” to the U.S. during his 2024 campaign and post-election rhetoric. For example, in a December 2024 Fox News interview with Maria Bartiromo, he expressed intent to renegotiate the USMCA upon taking office, citing issues like the auto industry and trade deficits.

Some, like Trump, are able to acknowledge mistakes, Inga. Try it sometime.; 2/24/25, 7:27 PM
Rusty said...: Now Inga sounds like the sad old chardonnay lady who starts drinking way too early and is still pissed that her husband left for her best friend because her best friend wasn't a drunken nag.; 2/24/25, 7:29 PM
Drago said...: This is so very very strange. Something LLR-democratical Rich (Kak + Anonymous Coward) not only told us would not happen, but COULD NOT happen.....yet there it is:

"Apple will spend more than $500 billion in the U.S. over the next four years

Teams and facilities to expand in Michigan, Texas, California, Arizona, Nevada, Iowa, Oregon, North Carolina, and Washington

Plans include a new factory in Texas, doubling the U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund, a manufacturing academy, and accelerated investments in AI and silicon engineering"

We have literally reached the point where every single prediction/assessment offered up by our Abacus Boy is so far off the rails and blown up by reality so quickly that you have to wonder if its actually a studious effort by our resident buffoon to undermine his own credibility completely for some unknown reason.

Perhaps he will explain it to us.....but after the last several years of election prediction hilarity (do you know how hard this fella bit down on the transparently fake Ann Selzer non-poll?) I suspect he will not.

Lets see what happens next.; 2/24/25, 7:32 PM
Drago said...: It appears, much like Adam Schiff, our very own LLR-democratical Rich is quite upset that there will be people doing serious investigations of his Nero-like corrupt New Soviet Democratical Corrupto-Thon money laundering schemes!

tsk tsk tsk

What were we told years ago? Oh, that's right: not just "learn to code" but also "take the jab or lose your job" and "if you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about".

Seemed like a good time to revisit that.; 2/24/25, 7:35 PM

Drago said...: Is now a good time to remind our lefties that their heroic National Park employees made sure that only 1 employee had the keys to the bathrooms!

We have so much to learn from this other-worldly competence.; 2/24/25, 7:36 PM
Drago said...: Rusty: "Now Inga sounds like the sad old chardonnay lady who starts drinking way too early and is still pissed that her husband left for her best friend because her best friend wasn't a drunken nag."

She's just irritated that her New Soviet Democratical lies and hoaxed up claims were right there on video and available for anyone to watch and to realize immediately what an astonishingly shameless liar she is, has been and will almost certainly continue to be.

During the years long russia collusion hoax battles, P-Inga was able to push lie after lie on a daily basis (which she did gleefully) because the New Soviet Democraticals kept all the facts hidden for so long and had complete control of the means for censoring social media and media in general to serve the dems.

P-Inga and her pals no longer have those things and the frustration they are clearly feeling comes thru in every posting.; 2/24/25, 7:40 PM

How very comical.

Meanwhile, the entire edifice of the enemy occupation government is being dismantled. Hundreds of mutinous petty-tyrant government employees, corrupt politicians of both parties, and their globalist cronies are going to prison, and thousands more will be stripped of everything they own.

We are going to smash the government octopus, and the war pigs and leeches who enrich themselves from the taxes of the working man, and the kind of people who love government for its own sake, harder than anyone has hit them since the Coolidge administration.

Donald John Trump will go down in history as the savior of his country. He will be spoken of in the same breath as Washington and Lincoln.; 2/24/25, 7:56 PM

Sneer all you like. His podcast is one of the most popular out there, and has made him richer than you could ever hope to be. It's not a trivial sacrifice.; 2/24/25, 8:00 PM
