A country the size of New Jersey-- which offers world class universal healthcare for all its residents unlike the US-- has the power to move a USN Aircraft Carrier Strike Group (CSG) from one part of the world to the other to attack a country that is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and has not been indicted by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or the International Criminal Court )ICC) for genocidal or apartheid-like practices like Israel.

US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-Israel) got to go ASAP.

An international arrest warrant for war crimes issued by the ICC remains active for Russia President Vladimir Putin (73). An indictment is merely an allegation. Mr Putin is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at an international tribunal to be held for him at the Hague at a future date.

This is a humorous Onion article.

Last summer I wrote on drudge.com that the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) will kill 72,000 Palestinians in Gaza before the end of 2025. My calculation was off by a few weeks. The Gaza death toll finally reached that horrible plateau a week ago at 72,061. The so-called "ceasefire" in Oct 2025 merely slowed down the IDF murder rate of Muslims.

And Dummkopf Trumpf, the self-declared President of Venezuela, who illegally abducted that country's leader, continues killing people in the Caribbean Sea and Somalia.

Is there anyone on the planet that admires, trusts, or respects these two homicidal maniacs?

Sources:

Both newspapers have disingenuously cited humanitarian reasons to save lives as the reason for attacking Iran.

For example, the first WaPo editorial (1/2/26) approvingly quoted Dummkopf Trumpf's Truth Social promise (1/2/26) to Iranian protesters that the US "will come to their rescue ... . We are locked and loaded and ready to go."

The second WaPo editorial (1/23/26) expressed disappointment that, despite "mass killings" and the "most repressive crackdown in decades," "Trumpf has ratcheted back his earlier rhetoric." It emphasized that "the regime is now mocking Trumpf for backing down."

A NYT editorial board headline (1/14/26) declared: "Iran's Murderous Regime Is Irredeemable" and "the Khamenei regime is too depraved to be reformed," the editors wrote.

This is laughable and the ridiculous arguments from WaPO and the NYT are hypocritical and fall flat on its face on logic. The murderous Israeli crackdown on Muslims in Gaza killed 72,061 human beings, mostly women and children; a further 171,715 have been wounded or maimed. These numbers are far, far greater than the number of Iranian casualties caused by the Tehran regime. No one has indicted the Iranian crackdown a genocide like Israel's pogrom against the Palestinians, which has been rightfully condemned by academics, the UN, and the ICC.

And the disgusting ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and his ethnic cleansing Likud junta are redeemable?

FTA: "The court decisions amount to a sweeping legal rebuke of Dummkopf Trumpf's fascist immigration crackdown. Yet the diabolical Trumpf junta has continued incarcerating people indefinitely even after courts ruled the policy was illegal."

Summary:

FTA:

"Dummkopf Trumpf ambled on to the stage to Lee Greenwood's horrendous "God Bless the USA." After boring the troops, the geriatric pedophile ended his idiotic speech to the thump of the Village People's "Y.M.C.A."

This was not the first time Trumpf spewed an overtly political speech in a military setting, breaking the tradition of keeping the armed forces separate from partisan politics. He lied to a galaxy of assembled generals and admirals in Sep 2025 when he brayed that the country was "under invasion from within," and his visit here in June to mark the Army's 250th birthday featured a booth shilling tasteless partisan paraphernalia.

"You have to vote for us," Trumpf begged of the troops, citing his immoral restoration of the Fort Bragg name after Congress directed the Pentagon to rename military installations honoring treacherous Confederate turncoats. (The Trumpf junta avoided the law by renaming the base after PFC Roland L. Bragg, rather than the original traitor, Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg.)

Dummkopf Trump: Draft dodging, homophobic, scheming, good-for-nothing geriatric pedophile and warmonger.

Worst. President. Ever.

"The Weiner Effect?"

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, is Andrew Weiner in the Epstein files too?

I wouldn't be surprised, he fits the bill to a Tee.

I suspected LDS as well with the name Nephi.

Thanks for posting, Corky.

Hi Clownshack

I did not realize that I missed a "break" reverse slash.

My apologies.

Hah!

**** Hologram USSECSTATE Marco Rubio Enjoys Fine Dining and Drinking in Munich, Skips Critical Meeting on Ukraine ****

Sycophant Marco Rubella is absolutely the worst USSECSTATE in the history of the world. This Empty Suit is walking in the hallowed footsteps of Thomas Jefferson, George C. Marshall, and Dr Henry Kissinger.

Remarkable where America is now thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf.

The USS Gerald R. Ford ACG is making its way to the Middle East to join the USS Abraham Lincoln ACG already under USCENTCOM control.

Two multi-billion dollar nuclear-powered ACGs in the same AOR = War.

The IDF High Command warned their citizens about this war against Iran (and the West Bank and Lebanon) on 31 Dec 2025.

Amazing how a tiny country the size of New Jersey had the ability to summon two ACGs from a country as large and as powerful as the United States of America.

Since the intended targets are Muslims, the MSM and most members of the US Congress won't care; but the vast antiwar bloc, a movement as old as the American Revolution itself, does care and will not vote for anybody on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 who supports an attack against Iran.

There have just not been enough heads on pikes in this country.
Time to revive the practice.
Probably the only way to get the anti-corruption message to stick.

So far, only one good-for-nothing covetous oligarch paid the price for his inhuman use of AI algorithms and "death panels" which put profits over patients that killed innocent people who loyally paid their premiums for years that enriched the Midas.

Father of the Year Wasatch County Republican Party Chair David Nephi Johnson:

We all laughed at how many millions of dollars in dark money was wasted by the oligarchs in their Islamophobic quest to defeat Zohran Mamdani.

And we all saw US Senator Chuck "Dinosaur" Schumer (D-NY) NOT endorse Zohran Mamdani. House Speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) gave a late and tepid endorsement to the dynamic Zohran, as did NYS Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY).

We all noticed that too.

Zohran needs Hochul's support for his plans to improve the lives of Gothamites and she needs their votes to beat MAGA maniac Bruce Blakeman because outside NYC and some blue pockets, the Empire State is Red.

We are waiting for sexual predator Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo and George Santos to grace the Big Apple with their departure.

Lastly, FDR was not a "socialist Democrat," he was a Democrat.

JFK was not a "socialist Democrat," he was a Democrat.

Yet somehow Zohran Mamdani is a "socialist Democrat," whatever that means.

I guess that differentiating asterisk sounds more palatable than blathering "Muslim Zohran Mamdani."

Decades ago to make extra money in NYC, some people became paid guinea pigs to test drugs, cosmetics, or skin treatments. There was a boutique company in Long Island City near Queensboro Plaza subway station that specialized in this.

Filling out the paperwork was lengthy and some of the test conditions were demanding, and of course testing new drugs was risky.

Selling plasma to make money (instead of donating it for free to the American Red Cross) is much easier and safer than trying new drugs.

In desperation to make money, refugees in Lebanon and Syria have sold internal organs.

America is heading toward a dystopic Soylent Green future thanks to Dummkopf Trumpf, his Republican Party kapos, and idiot voters where organs and children may be the next commodities to sell.

And no, I didn't grow a third eye thanks to that boutique company in LIC.

*** USS Gerald R. Ford Aircraft Carrier Group Heading to Middle East; Israel Prepares for War ***

Incredible that a tiny country the size of New Jersey with its own nuclear weapons and universal healthcare for all its residents has the ability to summon two nuclear-powered aircraft groups (ACGs) of a country as large and as powerful as the United States of America.

The millions of Americans in the antiwar bloc, a movement as old as the American Revolution itself, are watching which US politicians support attacking Iran and which aren't.

If the US attacks Iran in a few weeks as the Israeli High Command planned for, Democratic Party candidates that receive AIPAC money or support attacking Iran won't be getting the antiwar vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

Don't believe Coriolanus?

Don't care.

You will note there are Gold Star Family and Veteran's groups in this "Far Left" bloc.

I don't go out much these days but a few time I went to an after hours bar in D.C. and it was considered a Safe Space because that's where cops would go to drink after their shift. Nobody is going to start ---- in an after-hours bar populated by Cops.

During all the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan years ago, you could see all the fat-cat military and intelligence civilian contractors laughing and drinking it up in the bistros of Pentagon City.

You couldn't tell from their happy and bloated expressions that our country was at war and that our young boys and girls were getting mulched overseas.

I went there once or twice to meet friends while I assigned to the Pentagon because it was close, but I was disgusted and never went back. I went to the nearby Officer Clubs or met friends elsewhere.

"The international order based on rights and rules ... no longer exists in the way it once did," he said.
This is what Republicans want.
I'm not sure why, but they do.

According to newly released files from the US Department of Justice, messages sent between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon in 2019, reveal Bannon courted the late wealthy sex maniac in his attempts to undermine the former pontiff after leaving the first Trumpf junta.

Bannon had been highly critical of Francis whom he saw as an opponent to his "sovereigntist" vision, a brand of nationalist populism which swept through Europe in 2018 and 2019. The released documents from the DOJ appear to show that Epstein had been helping Bannon to build his movement.

"Will take down (Pope) Francis," Bannon wrote to Epstein in June 2019. "The Clintons, Xi, Francis, EU " come on brother."
Pope Francis was a significant obstacle to Bannon's brand of nationalist populism. In 2018, the former Trumpf sycophant described Francis to The Spectator as "beneath contempt," accusing him of siding with "globalist elites" and, according to "SourceMaterial," urged Matteo Salvini, now Italy's deputy PM, to "attack" the pontiff. For his part, Salvini has used Christian iconography and language when pursuing his anti-immigrant agenda.

Rome and the Vatican have been important for Bannon. He set up a Rome bureau when he ran Breitbart News and has been involved in trying to establish a political training "gladiator school" to defend Judeo-Christian values not far from the Eternal City.

"Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven," Epstein tells Bannon.

Elsewhere in the files, Jeffrey Epstein jokes with his brother, Mark, about inviting Pope Francis to his residence for a "massage" during the US papal visit in 2015.

An FBI report included in the DOJ's release includes a source who claims that an Italian cybersecurity figure described as "Epstein's Hacker" may have held a Vatican City passport.

Jeffrey Epstein had his filthy tentacle everywhere it seems and ICC-indicted war criminal Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu denies that a man who penetrated so many corridors of global power was not a Mossad spy. If that was true, all previous Mossad directors and Israeli PMs should be court-martialed for not recruiting such a valuable asset.

Below, two of the worst blasphemers, miscreants, and reprobates to ever blight our planet are taking a "selfie" in a mirroe. Thank goodness at least one monster is gone forever.

*** German Chancellor Friedrich Merz Blasts Lost US Leadership: "Global Order No Longer Exists" ***

"German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that US leadership can no longer be taken for granted and Europe must prepare to stand more firmly on its own, in a stark warning to world leaders in Munich.

"The leadership claim of the US is being challenged, perhaps already lost," Merz said during the opening of the Munich Security Conference, laying out the starkest assessment yet from Berlin of a world increasingly defined by great-power rivalry. "In the era of great powers, our freedom is no longer simply guaranteed. It is under threat."

He argued the global system itself may already have collapsed. "The international order based on rights and rules ... no longer exists in the way it once did," he said.

Merz also drew a lesson from Germany's own history. "We Germans know a world in which might makes right would be a dark place," he said. "Our country has gone down this path in the 20th century until the bitter and dreadful end."

Most strikingly, the chancellor confirmed discussions with French President Emmanuel Macron about a European nuclear deterrent."

"US President Dummkopf Trumpf seizing power on 20 Jan 2025 gave European nationalists and hardline conservatives a champion at the head of the world's largest economic and military power; now groups on both sides of the Atlantic want to seize the moment. Their ambition is to repurpose the soft-power tools America once deployed to spread the gospel of liberalism, to expand their reach and power and ultimately rebuild the West in their image " a project both sides call a "civilizational alliance" (AKA white supremacy).

This Empty Suit was vetted for his position by mega-oligarch Larry Ellison strictly on his fealty to Israel. The catalog of USSECSTATE Marco Rubio's vile blasphemies are too lengthy for a weblog entry, but we'll do our best here. The vastly underqualified Rubio callously dismantled USAID and removed the State Dept web portal to report war crimes. Rubio fired seasoned diplomats and ambassadors and dimed out El Salvadoran nationals to right-wing President Nayib Bukele in order to deport migrants to his hellish CECOT prison.

This good-for-nothing worked with CIA to undermine Venezuela's government and illegally abduct President Nicolas Maduro. Marco Rubio expedited the transfer of billions of dollars of American taxpayer money to Israel to continue its ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. Rubio nominated Jeremy Carl, a known antisemite, for a senior position at the State Dept.

Marco Rubio withdrew visas of people who ridiculed hate monger Charlie Kirk. As a US Senator, Marco Rubio undermined the Affordable Care Act by attaching damaging riders to the bill. Marco Rubio is now working on overthrowing the regime in Cuba and making life more miserable for the people there with even more sanctions.

Many years ago I was lucky enough to meet one of the last Jews from Baghdad.

His English was excellent, but his Yiddish was minimal or non-existent from what I recall.

"R.I." said that while life under Saddam Hussein was bad, the Jews weren't targeted, liquor was freely available, women went to school in modern dress and in higher education, and he made himself a decent income. He didn't go into what his business was, but it was fairly lucrative.

"R.I." related to me that after Saddam Hussein was toppled in the aftermath of OIF, all of a sudden in Iraq "the Jews became Jews."

I told him those were basically the exact words of a musician in Vienna in the 1930s named Georg Kreisler:

"Before 1938 we were all Austrians. Hitler made us Jews." [sic]
