Dummkopf Trumpf launched into a bizarre, stream-of-consciousness monologue to open a televised Cabinet meeting at the White House that went for 3 hours and 16 minutes. The Dotard veered into an awkward "bit" as he said looks were not important in politics, and suggested that if he praised USAG Pam Bondi's physical attributes, his career would be over. "I look at Pam. I would never say she's beautiful, because that's gonna be the end of my political career," he bleated. After the awkward compliment, Trumpf lurched from subject to subject without interruption as members of the junta listened and occasionally laughed at his insipid remarks. Trumpf mixed up the drug companies Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson, while claiming he was cutting prescription drug prices for Americans by 1,500 percent. The octogenarian rambled about transgender athletes and tthe age of AIPAC-funded Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), saying he looked like he was 100 years old. read more
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced in a cabinet meeting that his agency has identified "interventions" that it says are behind rising autism rates and will "address them" next month. "We will have that answer for you," RFK Jr told Dotard Trumpf. He did not elaborate on what the "interventions" were, or how HHS will address them. The nephew of JFK first pledged in April to find the "environmental toxin" that he says must be behind rising autism rates by Sep 2025. Scientists dispute the reasons autism rates have rapidly increased in the last few decades, but most believe a combination of factors including better diagnostic criteria, genetics, and environmental pollution is likely at play. Experts have also doubted whether Kennedy's self-imposed September deadline was realistic. Even Kennedy's own CDC director said it's difficult to set hard deadlines when it comes to scientific discoveries. read more
At least a half-dozen universities across the country welcomed students to first-day-of-fall classes Monday with run-and-hide warnings about possible gunmen on campus. In almost all the cases, the reports were hoaxes or swatting calls. A few campuses said simply that no evidence of a gunman or violence was found. Students at the University of Arkansas, University of Colorado Boulder, Iowa State University, Kansas State University, the University of New Hampshire and Northern Arizona University, were terrorized by the false alarms. The University of South Carolina received two reports of an active shooter at Thomas Cooper Library in Columbia on Sunday night, the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga received a hoax active shooter call on August 21 and Villanova University near Philadelphia received two false active shooter reports during freshman orientation last week. read more
As morale among US ICE personnel sinks to new lows, the Trumpf junta is wasting more than $120,000 on a pair of high-performance Mustang GT Fastbacks to enhance the embattled deportation agency's efforts to attract new recruits. Obtaining the vehicles was "an immediate request by the White House, on Thursday, 7 August 2025," according to a federal procurement document. The Mustangs are expected to "enhance" the Trumpf junta's push to add some 14,000 new ICE agents "by serving as a bold, high-performance symbol of innovation, strength and modern federal service," and that the Mustang's "eye-catching design increases public engagement at outreach events and helps attract top talent by conveying a culture of excellence and forward momentum." read more
A person in Maryland has been diagnosed with a rare flesh-eating parasite known as the New World screwworm after traveling from Guatemala, marking the first confirmed human case in the US. The New World screwworm, a fly whose larvae burrow into living tissue, primarily affects cattle and other warm-blooded animals but can also infect people in rare cases. It causes severe, sometimes fatal damage if untreated. This is the first confirmed US case since the outbreak began to escalate in Central America and southern Mexico. read more
Dummkopf Trumpf is edging the US into martial law and he's following Vladimir Putin's orders to a 'T.' Impoverish and anger the proletariat who will protest, then institute martial law (first in the Blue States, then Red). SCOTUS and the toothless Congress will let it happen.
Donald Trumpf Junior called Portland and Seattle "craphole cities" and wants a federal takeover of their police forces. The Trumpf junta doesn't try and disguise their intent on using the military and ICE to keeping Republicans and oligarchs in power long after 2028.

#6: When you read The Maltese Falcon (1930) by Dashiell Hammett, at the end of the novel private eye Sam Spade threatens Ruth Wonderly: "You killed Miles and you're going over for it."
First World War veterans in 1930 knew exactly what those chilling words meant: c8.alamy.com
Trumpers trying to keep people stupid.
Good point. I was looking at psychological factors.
Moreover, life is hard enough for American college students, but foreign students continue coming to the US.

"Argh! Food poisoning! The CDC! Argh! Who cares? Blargh!"
Why America needs more food surveillance, not less:
I bet this has something to do with Dr Monarez and her skepticism of RFK's claim that he identified the issues causing autism. RFK Jr is supposed to hold a press conference in September. Dummkopf Trumpf is going to continue appointing quacks, mountebanks, and grifters to the junta and the US Senate will confirm them. The GOP really cares about the health and welfare of the American people:
