The first American Pope in world history won't be celebrating America250 in the US.

Instead, Pope Leo XIV will be on the tiny island of Lampedusa, known for being a migration entry point into Europe.

How horrendous is the Trumpf junta?

Hi Doc Sarvis:

Thanks for sharing a terrific vignette. There was a lot of "looking the other way" between Canadians and Americans following the First World War, including during Prohibition (cross border booze running) and then fighting the Nazis, like your half-brother volunteering to join the RC Dragoons.

Last century in NYC, a cute woman from human resources (HR) would come around every few weeks and ask my co-worker for some sort of paperwork. Sitting nearby, I didn't want to eavesdrop but I could hear it was something about a requirement.

A good looking man himself, he would humble-mumble-chumble with a bit of charm and say "next week" and then she would happily saunter away. This went on for a long, long time.

After I left that organization, I found out years afterwards that he was a Canadian citizen working in the US but without the right INS status. After 9/11, he was caught by ICE and deported back to Canada. But he had paid his taxes and was as "American" as the next guy. We used to watch NY Giants games together and I had no idea he was Canadian.

Canada "looked the other way" for our college students who went there to avoid Vietnam and Ottawa "looked the other way" for the notorious CIA MK Ultra experiments in Montreal.

Like anything he does, the inept Dummkopf Trumpf botched a great relationship. He had a lousy hotel in Toronoto, too.

Right now Team Canada is playing Team USA for the Gold Medal in men's hockey.

"The closed accounts included those for garish Trumpf hotels, cheap housing developments, and tasteless retail shops in Illinois, Florida, and New York, as well as Trumpf's personal private banking relationship that handled his vast inheritance from his racist father who discriminated against minorities.

JPMorgan did not specify in those letters a specific reason for the mass account closings. In one unsigned note the bank wrote that he would need to "find a more suitable institution with which to conduct business."

Dummkopf Trumpf's lawsuit, which named Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan's chief executive, as a defendant, contended that the bank put Dotard Trumpf on a blacklist because it "needed to distance itself from Trumpf and his conservative political views." That echoed earlier complaints from the geriatric pedophile that Capital One similarly closed his accounts and that Bank of America refused to accept billions of dollars in deposits after the 6 Jan 2021 riots that he incited."

Dummkopf Trumpf is also retaliating against mega-oligarch Jaime Dimon and JPMorgan by having junta apparatchiks investigate his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Jaime Dimon only decided to report Epstein's suspicious banking activities to the US Treasury Dept after the notorious sex maniac somehow managed to kill himself in near impossible conditions in the secure federal MCC in Manhattan, NY. Remarkably, Dummkopf Trumpf once considered good-for-nothing Jaime Dimon to be his US Secretary of the Treasury.

Jeffrey Epstein was a prized client of JPMorgan's private bank for ultra-wealthy useless oligarchs.

**** Dummkopf Trumpf Approves Emergency Declaration for the District of Columbia ****

The Dotard-in-Chief doesn't Washington DC to smell bad for his birthday and America250 celebrations in a few months.

After seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, the Trumpf junta declared FEMA was bad and it needed to be de-funded.

In 2025, an experienced US military and State Dept veteran was fired from his senior job at FEMA when he defended his organization from being dismantled.

Greenlanders enjoy excellent universal healthcare through Denmark.

Dummkopf Trumpf is mimicking what China did last year when Beijing sent a military hospital ship to Africa. Somebody on his staff told him about it.

The Chinese ship sailed into several ports along the east, south, and west coasts and treated patients for free, including surgical operations. The ship stayed one or two full weeks in Capetown Suid-Afrika.

But those port calls were coordinated with the host nation countries and many patients were already vetted and triaged for free treatment weeks beforehand.

The Africans became eternally grateful to China.

Dummkopf Trumpf's assistance to Africa: Withdrawing the US from WHO, dismantling USAID, destroying food, medicine, and prophylactics destined for them in warehouses.

As of late January, the 1,000-bed USNS Mercy was firmly in drydock at Alabama Shipyard in Mobile, where it has been undergoing scheduled maintenance since July 2025.

Screw him.

Wayne DeMario knew who he was voting for.

He'll vote Republican again anyway in November.

"TSA and CBP are prioritizing the general traveling population at our airports and ports of entry and suspending courtesy and special privilege escorts," DHS Secretary Kristi Noem bleated.

The two programs, which allow expedited clearance processes for pre-vetted domestic and international travelers, are expected to be suspended starting at 0600 Hours ET Sunday.

This is a rare move and will result in longer lines, likely frustrating many travelers. The two programs were not suspended during last year's Republican Party government shutdown.

The decision to suspend these programs comes as the anticipated winter storm has already cancelled more than 5,000 flights across the country and as flights resume, travelers can be expected to be waiting in long lines. It also comes just weeks before the spring break travel rush.

In addition, the Federal Emergency Management Agency will also halt "all non-disaster related response to prioritize disasters," Noem sniveled, underscoring the impact of the upcoming winter storm.

The Governors of New York and New Jersey declared states of emergency because of the powerful blizzard threatening the American northeast. Meanwhile Kristi Noem, who travels on an American taxpayer-funded luxury jet, just immiserated thousands and thousands of air travelers. She's a real trooper. Isn't she?

**** Warmonger Senator Lindsey Graham Pushing Trumpf to Attack Iran ****

"Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) whined that several people around Dummkopf Trumpf are advising him not to bomb Iran. Graham urged the geriatric pedophile to ignore them. With two aircraft carriers and hundreds of warplanes preparing for what could be a major military operation, top Trumpf junta apparatchiks said the Dotard-in-Chief still hasn't made up his mind. He has been presented with military options that include murdering Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son.

But his team is also showing some limited flexibility in talks with Iran. A senior junta official said the US would consider an Iranian proposal that includes some "token" uranium enrichment if it ensures there is no path to a bomb.

Graham, who is close to Trumpf and began beating the war drums against Iran the moment a ceasefire was reached between Israel and Hamas, is leading the pro-strike camp in Trumpf's orbit.

As a Republican whose job it is to distract the population while the oligarchs continuing plundering America's wealth, Graham has never met a war he hasn't liked. Years ago he went on a CODEL to Afghanistan or Iraq and dressed up in camouflage and brandished a 9mm pistol trying to look tough like GI Joe. Graham is a pencil-pushing JAG O-6 in the USNR.

This warmonger visited the Middle East earlier this week and discussed attacking Iran with the leaders of Israel, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia, all paid for by the hardworking American taxpayer."

^^^ US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee: "Fine if Israel Took All Middle East Land." ***

"US Ambassador to Israel, good-for-nothing phony Christian Mike Huckabee, has contended to Tucker Carlson that Israel has a biblical right to take over the entire Middle East or at least the lion's share of it.

"It would be fine if they took it all," Huckabee bleated to the TV tumor during a podcast interview.

Tucker Carlson reported that Israeli security services detained him at the airport."

Nota Bene: One of the first Dummkopf Trumpf's nominations when he seized power on 20 Jan 2025 was this evangelical lunatic.

To the Palestinian people or the hardworking American taxpayer who is funding ethnic cleansing, whichever political party is in power in Washington DC makes absolutely no difference to either of them whatsoever.

There's a photo of a gorill' grabbing a terrified looking girl in the article.

The Society of Friends (Quakers) are pacifists and peace Samaritans, the type of Christians the Republican Party detests.

DHS described a movie scene.

The HSI agent was hit that hard he ended up on the hood of the car?

Why would any person, civilian, soldier, or cop stand in front of a car on the highway or avenue?

Is that what state troopers do when they pull someone over for speeding or DWI?

"I had a great conversation with the highly respected president of Syria, and all of the things having to do with Syria and that area," Trumpf bleated to reporters.

"It's working out very well, so we're very happy about it," the US president chirped."
