Obsession

Njideka Akunyili Crosby 

WHY are Pedo and MAGA still so obsessed with the Obamas? They haven’t been in the White House for ten years. I mean, yes, with every breath he takes the orange imbecile’s extreme inferiority to President Obama stands out in sharper, more fluorescent, neon relief. Melania does nothing, has no accomplishments to her name (besides nekkid and semi-nekkid lad mag pics and some escort work) so there’s nothing there to compare to tremendously accomplished Michelle Obama.

I can see WHY they feel inferior. They ARE inferior! But it’s been ten fucking years — Pedo and his shrinking band of toddler-brained homunculi make themselves look like complete mooks who’ve been dropped on their heads six too many times. More than they already do.

An illustration of that – imagine, you’re a big time mixed martial arts fighter and you’ve just won a massively hyped fight. The president of the country greets you afterwards — the world’s listening — what do you say?

"Michelle Obama is a man, am I right, America?"

What an absolute, potato faced loser. What a cartoon character of an under-brained, inbred, backwoods yokel.

“I'm Danish, but that question was easy enough for even me to answer.

So, Josh Hokit, here's your answer:

No, you're not right.

But judging by HOW much time you spend thinking about men, touching men, and debating whether women are actually men, it sounds like there may be a different conversation you'd like to have.”

Honestly, the amount of time Republicans spend laser focused on other people’s genitalia blows my mind. They’re stone creepy. Def don’t let them near children.

They're not just obsessed with Michelle Obama's genitals (which they’ve been going off about for more than a decade). The GOP has been going to town painting the Texas Democratic senate nominee, James Talarico, as transgender. It isn’t some discrete whisper campaign either. 

• Stephen Miller, the first openly rat-eating, undead Republican official, declared that Democrats had nominated their "first transgender senate candidate.” 
• A pro-Trump PAC is running AI-generated deepfake ads of Talarico, dressed as Julie Andrews/Maria von Trapp, singing a  transgender version of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music. 
• Texas Gov Abattoir posted a pic of Talarico, photoshopped/AIed up as New York rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as a means of criticizing Talarico’s bill for a Green New Deal for Texas (AND calling Talarico a girly-man at the same time). Bad move Hot Wheels — you’re giving away how scared you are. Fear is coming off the Texas GOP in waves. Fear brings out predators. 

Talarico, by the by, is not transgender. He was born a dude and is still a dude. He’s also straight. I believe the term is cishet. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, k? To be absolutely clear — Talarico’s gender and sexual orientation are completely irrelevant. 

These desperate rightwing fuckers are sweating oceans. They know their candidate, Ken Paxton, is a crook, fraud, a total skank AND a pedophile enabler. It’s no mystery why Prez Pedo is supporting him so hard. With a candidate who’s nothing more than a steaming pile of stinking, perverted weasel turds the GOP HAVE to go into culture war-testosterone overdrive! They’ve got nothing and are counting on Texans to be prejudiced, tiny minded, stupid as hell, too lazy to go out and vote or some combination of all of those.

Another what’s-in-his-pants obsession — remember when Madge Trailer Trash Greene showed those 24”x36” posters of Hunter Biden’s stunningly large trouser python during a House Oversight Committee meeting? I mean, on one hand, I get it. On the other, isn’t this something she should have kept at home — just between her and her pleasure appliance du jour?

The Guardians Of Pedophiles want you to care more about what kind of junk is in a Democrat’s trunk so you’re not paying attention to the GOP stealing the contents of your bank account. That’s working great for Trump isn’t it?

Meanwhile, Josh Hokit? That pot bellied, moronic, thumb-faced fool — at his big, old age, he still doesn’t understand that actions have consequences. He isn’t even getting paid for that little performance for his crazy god-king. Well, he’s being “paid” in Trump brand crypto. Yup, that won’t even cover his bus fare back to Nowheresville. What a rube.

Operation Epstein Fury Day 14

Jeff Stahler

More than $11.3 billion of our taxpayers buckos were spent in the first week of Operation Epstein Fury. Today is Day 14. How much are we on the hook for now? Hey, it's not coming out of Prez Pedo's pockets. Pete, the drunk-on-death Grim Reaper, isn't picking up that tab. The rich motherfuckers who got all of Big Donnie's sweetheart tax breaks won't feel it. How's that $4 and $5 a gallon gas feel, eh?

Nearly 300 children have been killed so far by the self-proclaimed “pro-life” warmongering GOP bastards.   

Krazy Eyes Kash’s FBI is fearmongering – he sent a warning to local California police about a potential Iranian plan to strike the west coast. Iranian drones have a range of 1,200 to 2,500 miles – a direct flight from Iran to California isn’t happening, even in Pedo’s twisted dreams. Launched from a boat in the Pacific? Also tremendously unlikely. 

Why did Krazy Kash specifically say California would be the target? Maybe because Pedo really hates Newsom. Kash and Pedo are known to create narratives as needed so… 

Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. 

Prez Pedo, in his usual over-the-top, scenery-chewing, bad dinner theater performance, bellowed that if mines were placed and they are not removed, Iran will face consequences “at a level never before seen.”

OH please! That he honestly believes his own cheesebag, histrionics, that he thinks anyone buys him as some serious, fearsome, strongman, world leader is just desperately sad at this point. It’s not even funny anymore. It’s simply pathetic. Can someone get this decaying old ham OFF the goddamn stage already? His shtick is SO last century!

Prez Clownshit also said that “the Strait of Hormuz is going to remain safe. We have a lot of Navy ships there. We have the best equipment in the world inspecting for mines.”

Ya know what we really need in order to make the Strait safe from all those nasty mines? Minesweepers. We used to have four of those babies in Bahrain – right there in the Persian Gulf. The USS Devastator, the USS Dextrous, the USS Gladiator, and the USS Sentry had been there for 35 years too.

What happened to them? Trump had ‘em decommissioned this past September. Then, despite shit looking tense with Iran in January, Pedo had them moved to Philadelphia for disassembly. There’s now just four Avenger-class ships in active service. They’re based in Sasebo, Japan. Japan…hmmmm. That’s not where the Strait of Hormuz is, now, is it?!

That's right. Not even two months before he attacked Iran, he got rid of four ultra important tools. Dimwit Donny surely isn’t much of a forward thinker, is he? 

Oh but WAIT – our preposterously vain, Nazi tattooed, perma-sozzled Secretary of WARmongering, Makeup Studios, and Bad Acting has some obvious fairy tales to add:

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth posted on X that at Trump’s direction, US Central Command “has been eliminating inactive mine-laying vessels in the Strait of Hormuz—wiping them out with ruthless precision. We will not allow terrorists to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage.”

Christ almighty, Kegseth sounds like he’s just stepped off a Monty Python sound stage.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise... surprise and fear... fear and surprise... our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency... our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.

What our rotted rutabaga brained administration didn't expect is that the Iranians would be a bit put out about being bombed, having their loved ones murdered, and their homes, hospitals and businesses destroyed. Huh, go figure.

What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve.
~ U.S. Air Force General Grynkewich, the highest-ranking U.S. commander in Europe testifying in Congress on Thursday.

Gee duh!!!

Iran is pissed. Trump and Netanyahu played them and played them badly.

…we don't see any reason why we should negotiate with the U.S., when we negotiated with them twice, and every time they attacked us, the middle of negotiations.
~ Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister

Dude’s got a solid point. Trump and his band of idiot, power-mad handlers and cowering sycophant yes-men did this. If there’s gonna be boots on the ground in Iran, those brainless White House assholes better be sending ICE. No one will miss those sick fucks. They’ll make the perfect sacrifice to Donnie’s Epstein “Excursion.”

Analysts say speculation from Washington that Iran would quickly submit after the killing of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei were misguided. (no shit?!)

Tehran is likely going to determine the end of this war, not the US or Israel, because of its ability to inflict economic pain broadly, they say.

Amid a military pummeling by the US and Israel, Iran has launched heavy retaliatory strikes at US assets and other critical infrastructure in Gulf countries, upsetting global supplies. It has also adopted what analysts call “asymmetric” tactics – such as disrupting the critical Strait of Hormuz and threatening US banking-linked entities – to inflict as much economic pain on the region and wider world as it can.

There’s Persian saying: He who has been bitten by a snake does not trust even a black and white rope.

Yup.

Quackers

The 14 year heroin addict whose brain can’t even keep a worm alive; the man who saws off the heads of whales, dumps dead bear cubs in Central Park, sexually assaults babysitters, takes saunas with skeevy, clapped out, panty-sniffing, has been white rappers while wearing jeans; the freak with absolutely NO medical education or experience who claims vaccines cause autism, anti-depressants are responsible for school shootings, and Wi-Fi causes "leaky brains” – is up to his usual science denying tricks.

He’s appointed vaccine skeptic, Retsef Levi to the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. There he'll “review the safety of Covid-19 vaccines.” Levi’s already decided though – there’s not going to be any review. Like Bobby Brainworm, he’s not a supporter of vaccines, no matter what the actual facts say.

Dude claims that “Covid-19 vaccines are the “most failing medical product" in the history of medical products” despite all formal, conclusive research stating the exact opposite.

Levi is a professor at MIT where he teaches Operations Management at the Sloan School of Management. He also does something with Food Chain Supply Analytics. Nothing to do with medicine.

Dr Sharon Alroy-Preis, who served as head of Israel’s public health services during the pandemic, and stepped down from that role earlier this year, told the Guardian she could recall reading a draft of a paper Levi wrote in 2021, which suggested a correlation between Israel’s vaccination rate and emergency calls received by first responders in Israel that involved cardiac arrest.

“We took it very seriously at the ministry of health. We invited him to a meeting to thoroughly look at the research,” she said. “At the meeting it was clear that he was not familiar with the way the data is collected and potential wrong interpretations. What was more troubling: he didn’t seem to care.”

She added: “Having no answers to our professional questions he continued to insist he was right and ‘on to something’. It was clear he came with an agenda.”

Levi did not comment on this specific criticism. (source) 

How’d an anti-science quack get to be a big time tenured professor at MIT in the first place? Seriously.

Naturally, Levi objects and denies that he doesn’t have specific pertinent knowledge and real applicable experience to weigh in on this. Of course he does. He’s a big important guy in a big important job where he’s paid big important money and respected by loads of other big important men. That means he's an expert on everything he imagines. Just like Junior. Right?!

The Guardian asked Levi to address all of these critiques of his work. In response, Levi said in a statement: “The mentioned criticism on my research has been addressed through formal peer-review processes, with all retraction requests, including the one by the Israeli Ministry of Health, denied by Scientific Reports.”

Sure pal.

A spokesperson for HHS said “attacks” on Levi were “clearly politically motivated and ignore his substantial credentials”.

Of course. It’s the fall back position for all substance and fact-free bullies everywhere and that’s what the Republican Party is – a bunch of whiny-ass toddlers who love nothing more than to cry victim the minute anyone calls them out on their weaselly bullshit. 

Levi may have substantial deserved cred within the field of operations management – if so, he should stick to that.
