Musk: A Real Christian Family Man with a Harem

Under the guise of saving "white civilization", the pro-apartheid South Africa native is fornicating with every other woman he entices on his platform X with the stated objective of having so many white babies that he alone would save the white race from being overtaken by all these "darkies" from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Let's call it "Lascivious Racist Pervert Altruism".

Not unlike Donald Dumb by the way. No wonder they both are adulated by the Christian Evangelical "Family Values" bigots whose declared sexual temperance is frequently debunked when they are caught with their pants down raping children or moteling with prostitutes or fornicating in airport bathrooms.

You see, in a dictatorship the Boss can do anything, including violating the law and social norms, while the herd of infantilized peasants from the South or Middle America are lied to. When will they ever learn? No one knows. With illiterate ignorant peasants, the words of the charlatan preacher on Sunday in his million-dollars megachurch take precedence over their own conscience.

That boy he drags all over the place probably doesn't know who his mother is. She could be one of the dozen or so women that Musk has fornicated with out of wedlock. Maybe Musk is planning to seed Mars with his own seed!

Elon Musk’s Wild Plan to Father ‘Legion’ of Kids by Hitting Women Up on X Revealed

Elon Musk isn’t just building his empire by running tech businesses—he’s also creating a “legion” of children.

The tech mogul recruits potential mothers on X to fulfill his goal of combating the declining population, according to sources who spoke to The Wall Street Journal. One woman reportedly spoke of the “harem drama” with Musk’s circle.

The 53-year-old is known to have fathered 14 children by four separate mothers, including the musician Grimes. The true number of Musk’s children could even be higher, sources told The Journal. The Tesla billionaire is said to refer to his children as a “legion,” in a nod to the ancient Roman army.

Musk often interacts with lesser-known users on his social media platform through public replies and direct messages, which sometimes lead to conversations about having his babies, people who have viewed those interactions said.

After Musk met conservative influencer Ashley St. Clair in 2023, he followed her on X and began interacting with her posts. Soon after, the billionaire invited St. Clair to San Francisco, where their relationship became romantic.

Musk reportedly told St. Clair to “pick a name” for their future child after sleeping together the first time. During a New Year’s trip to St. Barts, they conceived a child that Musk now refuses to publicly recognize as his own, according to St. Clair.

While his baby mama was pregnant, Musk reportedly suggested that they bring in other women so that they could have more children at a faster rate.

“To reach legion-level before the apocalypse, we will need to use surrogates,” Musk told St. Clair in a text message obtained by the Journal.

In Musk’s widely-known view—now shared by many people in conservative circles—“civilization is going to crumble” if people don’t start having more babies.

“I think for most countries, they should view the birthrate as the single biggest problem they need to solve,” Musk told an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year. “If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter.”

“You’ve got to walk the talk,” he added when he was jokingly asked if he was doing his part. “So, I do have a lot of kids, and I encourage others to have lots of kids.”

The Journal reported that Musk, the world’s richest man, uses his wealth to buy the silence of his baby mamas through nondisclosure clauses baked into payment agreements.

Jared Birchall, Musk’s longtime aide, is reportedly tasked with handling negotiations with the women over pregnancy arrangements and financial support.

“We have been through way too many issues where, to not sign some agreement associated with handing over 15-plus million dollars is absolutely insane and irresponsible, and because we have dealt with some very unstable, mentally unstable, people that all of a sudden misremember things,” Birchall told St. Clair in December.

Lebanon's Stark Choice: Civil War or Israeli War

After 50 years of instability, wars, foreign invasions and occupations... Lebanon seems to have taken hold of itself ... for the most part (see below). The country has elected a new president (Joseph Aoun), has formed a new government of competent professionals (not shills for the political establishment) and has begun the long road of repairing the damages left by the joint Syrian-Iranian occupation and their local proxy, the terrorist organization of Hezbollah.

"For the most part" is because there is one stumbling block, a major one, left that seems to be causing major headaches as the new administration pushes forward on many, really many, fronts. Nothing works normally in the country, and everything is tainted with either corruption (endemic to every public service administration), incompetence, or religious monopolies (schools, hospitals...) whose dominance over "their people" is secured by a rabid and determined undermining of the public sector. 

Imagine that Catholic schools, for example, siphon off public funds to run their operations, while public schools continue to lag behind in infrastructure and quality of education. Why doesn't the government use that money to improve its own educational institutions and let the private/religious sector fend on its own? Isn't that how it is supposed to be?

Imagine that all Muslim clergy (imams, muftis, sheikhs...) are employees of the government and receive paychecks and benefits like any other public sector employee, while Christian clergy do not.

The country is ungovernable the way it is set up. After five decades of wars and persecution, most Christians have fled into exile, while the country has been swamped by hundreds of thousands of Muslim Palestinian refugees (gracefully and genocidally provided by the colonial Jewish settler neighbor to the south) and by more than 2 million Muslim Syrian refugees abundantly and generously furnished by the Syrian Assad dictatorship next door. From a 50-50 demographic balance well into the 1970s (when the Palestinian-Syrian-Islamic fundamentalist war against the country began), the Christians' numbers have dwindled to an estimated 25%. 

No census has been carried out since 1932, for fear of finding the actual truth as to the sectarian composition of the country. But the country is governed by a constitution and a gentleman's agreement (known as the National Pact), both of which affirm the principle of مناصفة (munasafa) or the 50-50 distribution of everything political and administrative (including in public administration hierarchies, the military, the judiciary, etc.) between Christians and Muslims.

In other words, the country's 25% Christian population is entitled to 50% of the State, while the 75% Muslim population gets only the remaining 50%. With so many Christians living overseas (with very little chances of ever returning), there aren't enough Christians to fill vacant positions up and down the state offices. Not to mention the chronic disgruntlement of the Muslims at being discriminated against by this system.

But very few people right now, on the heels of five decades of torment, want to rock the boat of representation as it stands. The Shiite community has argued for a مثالثة (muthalatha) or a 30-30-30 distribution of power between the Maronites (largest Christian community), the Sunni Muslims, and the Shiite Muslims. But amending the constitution remains a challenge, and any serious push in that direction risks pushing the Christians into some form of separation from the Muslims. In fact, short of calling for a partition of the country, the Christians have been pushing for "decentralization" or even "federation", both of which ensure at the very least that the Christians can rule themselves within their own districts, while the Muslims do likewise in their own districts. 

One thing is certain: Just like French-speaking Québec ensures a specific Canadian character that keeps Canada separate from the United States (Anglophone Canada has nothing fundamentally distinct from its southern US neighbor), Lebanon's Christians ensure a specific Lebanese character that distinguishes it from the vast Muslim and Arab world around it. Any Christian move to separate from the Muslims, in a decentralized or federal system, terrifies the Lebanese Muslims who stand to become another irrelevant Muslim community that might be forced to join Syria next door.

At the present time, with Israel having emasculated the hyper-macho Muslim Shiites of Hezbollah and the Amal movement (the Shiite duo), the question facing Lebanon and its news government is a truly existential one.

On one hand, Israel and the US have given the Lebanese anywhere between 2-6 months to disarm Hezbollah which was the only private militia to remain extant after the 1989 Taif Agreement that ended the acute phase of the Syrian-Palestinian-Iranian war against Lebanon (1975-1990). Israel's latest war (2024) has decimated Hezbollah's leadership and capabilities, though the Iranian-governed militia still retains enough power to cause trouble. The 2-6 months timeframe is dictated by Israel's imperative of securing its northern settlements before the new school year in the Fall of 2025. If the Lebanese state does not disarm Hezbollah, Israel will retain Lebanese territory in the south under occupation as a buffer zone and will retain the freedom of bombing targets inside Lebanon it considers a threat to its security. Alternatively, if the Lebanese State does manage to disarm Hezbollah, the prospects are there for a definitive delineation of the border on the basis of the 1949 Truce, a return of the displaced to their villages in the south, the Arab (Saudi, Qatari, and UAE) funding for the reconstruction of the demolished south, and perhaps even a peace treaty and a normalization of relations (though this seems like a far-fetched mirage at this point).

On the other hand, the vast majority of the Lebanese also want Hezbollah to disarm and reduce itself to a political party. Unless Hezbollah disarms voluntarily, the alternative would be to disarm it by force, which would pit the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) against Hezbollah in a major civil war (a real "civil" war this time between Lebanese parties, while the 1975-1990 was essentially a war by the Palestinians, Iran and Syria against the Lebanese state though it is erroneously labeled a "civil" war). 

Thus, the Lebanese government of Joseph Aoun and Nawwaf Salam is facing the abyss. Its only exit out of two bleak scenarios (an Israeli war or a civil war) is to convince Hezbollah to give up its arms. This is really the most significant, and indeed existential, challenge facing Lebanon. All other challenges, refurbishing the country's finances and banking system, combating corruption, and all the decays of the past five decades, can be easily met once the Hezbollah infection is dealt with: Lebanon has the know-how and the competences required. But if the Hezbollah disarmament challenge is not met, the country could fall back into violence. The Christians in particular see this as the final litmus test of the participatory type of goverment they've had since 1920: Division of power between the various communities. If Hezbollah refuses to disarm and the country suffers from an internecine conflict that would inevitably draw Israel in, the Christians will very likely seek to separate themselves from the Muslims.

Prior to 1920, Lebanon was the autonomous "Mount Lebanon Governorate" - Mutasaarifiah - that managed to evict the Ottoman Turks just like Egypt, Greece and others had done during the 19th century as the Ottoman Empire was beginning to fall apart. "Mount Lebanon" was geographically the central mountain chain comprising the essence of the Christian population. This smaller "Mount Lebanon" Republic could be resurrected by shedding the Syrian Muslim regions annexed to it in 1920 to create the Greater Lebanon we know of today. Borders constantly move in the course of history. Perhaps Lebanon's borders are about to change one more time in a contraction rather than an expansion.

Denmark Retaliates Against the US

Some Americans continue to believe that their status as US citizens somehow protects them against abuses by other governments. But that was long before Donald Dumb became president and opened his filthy mouth with abuses, insults, xenophobia and arrogant condescension against nearly every country on the surface of the globe.

So Denmark is retaliating for Donald Dumb's belittling the kingdom and scavenging the colonial shit barrel to steal Greenland from it. Also, Denmark is applying the same abhorrent and illegal practices that Donald Dumb's US is applying on otherwise legal European visitors to the US: unwarranted arrests at ports of entry, incommunicado detentions, deportations, etc. 

If these US students visiting Denmark have tattoos and pose a hypotehtical threat to the security of Denmark because of their government's expansionist colonial desire to steal Danish land, they should be deported to that infamous mega-prison in El Salvador.

Listen to this pathetic US student visiting Denmark crying out his innocence. What is good for the goose is STILL good for the gander.

American college student arrested in Denmark speaks out: 'We had done nothing wrong'

American college student arrested in Denmark speaks out: 'We had done nothing wrong'

One of the Americans detained for nearly two weeks in Denmark over an assault against an Uber driver while visiting Copenhagen on their college spring break said he was "shocked" that he and his friend were arrested and maintained that they are innocent.

"We were both just very shocked about the fact that we were being arrested over this incident," Owen Ray told "Good Morning America" on Monday, hours after he and his friend were freed. "We had done nothing wrong," Ray added.

Ray, a 19-year-old studying at Miami University in Ohio, and his unnamed friend were detained at Copenhagen Airport on April 1 over an alleged dispute with an Uber driver the night prior, Jordan Finfer, a U.S.-based attorney for Ray's family, told ABC News. Local police detained them while they were heading home after deeming them "flight risks," claiming they were planning to run from the incident, he said.

In an account relayed to Finfer, who then shared the details with ABC News, Ray said he and his friend realized they had entered the wrong address for their destination -- and the Uber driver allegedly refused to take them anywhere else.

Ray said they decided to cancel their Uber and left the vehicle. Then, after they walked a few blocks, the Uber driver pulled up, got out of the car and "started yelling at us, thinking he hadn't been paid for the Uber, but in fact, he had been paid for the Uber," Ray said.

"He then got in our faces and was saying, 'I'm gonna call 10 guys,'" Ray said.

"We said, 'We've done nothing wrong. We've done nothing wrong.' He then started an altercation with us," Ray said.

"The safety of everyone who uses the Uber app is a top priority, and we take reports of violence very seriously," an Uber spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News on Sunday. "Any additional questions about the investigation should be directed to the Danish police," the statement added.

Copenhagen police said the two students were charged with common assault.

Following his arrest, Ray said he thought he would be able to explain to a judge what happened and be released.

"But then we went to the judge, and we were actually told that we would be imprisoned in a Danish prison for 10 days," he said.

Ray said he wasn't able to make a phone call for 36 hours after his arrest and didn't know if his parents even knew where he was.

"I was initially very worried about making sure that I could get into contact," he said.

He said he was able to text his mother from a phone at court, and she ended up flying to Denmark.

"I was very relieved to have heard that she was able to do that, and thankful that she was able to," Ray said. "I'm very thankful to my family and everyone else who's been supporting me throughout this situation."

Ray said it also helped that he and his friend had each other while detained.

"We read books, we played cards, we played chess and luckily we were able to get through it in a good mental state," he said.

Their initial 10-day, pre-trial detention amid the investigation into the incident was subsequently extended until April 24, a Copenhagen police spokesperson told ABC News.

Ray said his Danish attorney filed an appeal last week, and the judge ruled in their favor on Monday, releasing them.

The teen said Danish authorities have their passports and they have to check in with police daily until they get an update on the case. He said he believes they are waiting for either the investigating authorities to drop the case or for a trial date to be set.

Ray said he and his friend are in a good mental state, and that he plans to maintain a positive attitude about the ordeal while hoping for it to be resolved soon.

"I just hope that Denmark and the legal authorities here are able to -- and the U.S. government can help us and do what they can to help us be released by Easter, so I can be home with my family," Ray said.

"I think the best case would be for the Danish police and the prosecutor to drop the case at this point, because we're completely innocent, and for them to return us our passports and allow us to head back to the United States," he said.

A U.S. State Department spokesperson said in a statement on Sunday that they are "aware of media reports of two U.S. citizens detained in Denmark. Staff at our embassy in Copenhagen are providing consular assistance."

"The Department has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad," the statement continued. "Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment."

Donald Dumb Keeps Promise to MAGA Morons: You'll Pay Exorbitant Fees to Credit Card Companies

Joe Biden restrained credit card companies' greed and abuse by imposing a maximum $8 on late fees. But MAGA morons prefer to pay upwards of $45 late fees to the credit card companies, so they elected the supreme moron Donald Dumb.

Now he is keeping his promise to enrich the billionaire owners and often fraudulent credit card companies that entice people into taking on more debt than they should at exorbitant cost. In this, the US continues a long tradition going back to loan sharks, snake oil peddlers and other charlatans, except now the crime dresses in fine corporate camouflage and has a veneer of respectability.

The Trump administration just handed U.S. credit card companies a regulatory gift and a shaft in the ass for the American consumers.  On Monday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) asked a Texas federal judge to formally toss out the $8 late fee cap rule, a move cheered by business groups that claimed the rule was overreach. That rule, a key piece of Biden's antijunk fee agenda has been frozen and is likely gone for good, banks are breathing easier and so are their shareholders.

Judge Mark Pittman, a Trump appointee, had already blocked the rule back in December, calling it a violation of the Credit Card Accountability and Disclosure Act. That law allows "reasonable" penalty fees tied to costs without a hard ceiling. The question is whether "reasonable" can be defined and justified. Monday's joint filing from the CFPB and the business lobby confirms what many expected: Trump isn't defending Biden's fee clampdown, he's dismantling it. On top of that, a federal appeals court just cleared the path for trimming CFPB staff, another step in weakening the agency without triggering a full legal showdown. Weakening of CFPB is a major blow to credit consumer protection against abusive and criminal financial companies, banks, and lenders.

I recently received a letter from an unknown credit card company by the name of Elan Financial Services operating out of a post office box in Fargo, North Dakota. After investigation, Elan later turned out to be a arm of a major bank by the name of US Bank. The letter - a 5-page-long form - asked me to provide them with detailed personal information including my social security number because Elan had "suspicions" that someone has opened a credit card in my name and using my personal information and they wanted to validate the application. It was clearly a sneaky attempt at opening a fradulent credit card account I never requested. I contacted CFPB with a complaint that was forwarded to Elan and US Bank, both of which complied and closed the fraudulent credit card account. This is a personal experience that proves that major banks in the US can subcontract their fraudulent operations to lesser know entities parading themselves as "financial services" and burden the consumer with unwanted debt. Now Trump wants not only to allow these banks to shaft the consumer with exorbitant junk fees, but by dismantling CFPB he is also allowing them to run fraudulent operations without any protection to the American consumer. I am not sure this is what the MAGA morons wanted by electing the orange baboon to the White House.

Why does this matter for markets? Because fee income is big business. Late fees account for billions in recurring revenue, and with the cap gone, those earnings are safe for now. That regulatory clarity is bullish for credit card stocks, especially heading into earnings season. Trump's move just reopened a lane for higher margins. If you're holding COF, AXP, or any lender with over a million cardholders, you're likely sitting on a quiet win.

 

C-Suite Lords Baffled between Ideology, Profits and Stupidity

They always vote Republican en masse because the brainwashing mythology of a yet-to-grow up America says that right-wing imbeciles are pro-market and development, while left-wing imbeciles are communists, cocialists, marxists and all the other terrifying labels slapped on them.

The reality is the opposite. The raw unfettered capitalism of greedy C-suite corporate leaders is ruining the country and preventing it from growing up into a civilized place. Even though the economy at large does better under Democratic administrations (i.e. it benefits everyone up and down the social economic scale, which translates into a reasonable distribution of wealth), corporate leaders always vote republican out of fear of those communists, socialists, marxists etc., and they do so for two reasons: Profit (i.e. greed, because jackass GOP administrations lower their taxes, like Trump is currently doing), and Ideology. They are so stuck in 19th century industrial capitalism that they cannot comprehend that ALL our allies have managed well-regulated economies in which everyone benefits. They are convinced that if you lift the lower classes out of the misery they inflict on them, they will mount a revolution.

But revolutions do happen when people are hungry and maltreated. Like where Trump is taking us all: Poverty for the poor and wealth for the wealthy, with a copious amount of cruelty, disdain, racism, and meanness. The oligarchy is in place: What is corporate America going to do about it?

Opinion: Why Sudden Trump Regret Syndrome Shows C-Suiters Up for Schmucks
Paul Waldman
Sun, April 13, 2025

On Wall Street and in C-suites across the country, titans of American industry and capital are aghast. How could President Donald Trump plunge us into ruinous trade wars amid yo-yoing tariffs and send markets into chaos ahead of a widely speculated recession? They gave him their support and their donations, and this is how he repays them?

The better question is: How were they so naïve as to think this wouldn’t happen?

It’s hard not to take some satisfaction in the sudden distress of the plutocrats.

“This is not what we voted for,” tweeted billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. “What CEO and what board of directors will be comfortable making large, long-term, economic commitments in our country in the middle of an economic nuclear war?”

You don’t say.

Republican megadonor and Home Depot founder Ken Langone called the tariffs “bull---t.” The New York Times reports that other Trump donors have been frantically calling the White House, trying to convince the administration to reverse course.

“I feel like a sucker,” TV finance guru Jim Cramer said.

They must not have been listening when Trump promised—literally every day on the campaign trail—that this was precisely what he would do.

Some corporate leaders may have believed they were buying special favors when they ponied up seven-figure sums. Tim Cook of Apple, for instance, gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee, and that seems to have paid off: The administration just exempted smartphones and computers from its tariffs (most iPhones are assembled in China).

Whether or not the tech magnates saw this coming, most corporate Trump supporters seem to have made a familiar calculation: Trump is a business guy who’ll cut taxes and eliminate regulation. The economy will flourish, and that’ll be good for everyone—especially us.

That may sound like the hard-headed rationality we’re supposed to expect from capitalists, but it’s anything but. In fact, their support for Trump was always deeply emotional, helped along by an unwillingness to look at the facts.

Here’s the most important truth: The economy has consistently done better under Democratic presidents than Republican ones by almost any measure available. For all that corporate leaders complain that Democratic power will rob us of economic liberty, they’ve always prospered under Democratic presidents. Surely they know that corporate profits hit record levels under former President Joe Biden, for instance.

So why did so many big business overlords believe it was so urgent that Trump return to the Oval Office?

That reason is ideology.

The people who sit atop the economic pyramid are, for the most part, pretty conservative just as a matter of personal inclination. They’d rather see their companies suffer through another Republican recession (and nine of the last ten recessions started under GOP presidents) than have their tax rates go up by a point or two. They don’t like it when Democrats talk about greedy CEOs; it’s not enough to get richer and richer, they want to be loved.

So they ignored not just Trump’s outlandish tariff threats, which anyone who understands the economy knew would be disastrous, but his impulsivity and instability. Now, they watch with the rest of us as Trump and Elon Musk attack our world-leading universities, cripple our extraordinary system of scientific and technical research, and try to undo landmark industrial policy—with potentially catastrophic effects on long-term economic prospects.

In fairness, perhaps the plutocrats fooled themselves into thinking Trump would be good for the economy because things went pretty well on that score in his first term (at least until the pandemic arrived). But what we have now is Trump without limits, the truest version of himself. The damage he can do is only beginning to come into focus.

Now, the business elite are appalled—as are small business owners, by the way. They knew Republicans would go after immigrants, trans kids, and Medicaid recipients; that was no big deal. But they thought Trump was one of them, so he’d have their interests at heart. For all they flatter themselves that their wealth is a sign of their brilliance, they were just as gullible as anyone.

US-Born White Male Firefighter is a Child Pornographer in Wisconsin

He's a US-born white male from Wisconsin. He's a "hero" firefighter. He's no migrant or immigrant. We don't know if he has tattoos, but he very likely does, given his looks and the macho culture in which he operates. We don't have information as to whether he qualifies as an "angel dad" with an "angel mom" worthy of being promoted on Fox News.

Contrary to the Fox News brainwashing of the illiterate ignorant peasants of middle America, a tiny proportion of all crimes committed in the US are attributed to migrants or immigrants: More then 99% of all crimes on US soil are committed by US-born criminals.

Unfortunately for Fox News and the Donald Dumb administration, this "hero" firefighter has been charged with child porn. He is one of those white American men who target children for sexual satisfcation then go vote for Donald Dumb.

Wisconsin firefighter Brenton Egtvedt (rhymes with Hegseth) arrested on child porn charges

43-year-old Brenton Egtvedt was arrested on April 9 as he was leaving his residence. His boss, Fire Chief of Howard Fire/Rescue, Dennis Staeven, said that Egtvedt is currently employed by the Village of Howard Fire Department as a firefighter. Egtvedt was immediately placed on administrative leave from the department.

Several tips were received by local authorities between March and October 2024 regarding images and videos containing child pornography, which upon investigation revealed that the IP addresses used to upload the material were from Egtvedt’s address.

Egtvedt was interviewed and he admitted to owning the email addresses involved in the possession of child pornography. The criminal complaint states Egtvedt said he had an addiction to child pornography. When asked if he understood that child pornography was illegal, Egtvedt reportedly responded with ‘Yes, yes, I understand… I’m pretty much screwed.’

Too bad he's not one of those tattooed migrants who would be immediately humiliated, jailed then deported. He's an angelic man with beautiful white skin from middle America and he will be treated fairly and with dignity even though he is a potential child predator.

Trump babbles his way through doing a bad job and the polling proves we know it
Rex Huppke, USA TODAY
Fri, April 11, 2025

President Donald Trump is not well-liked, and, according to new polling, few Americans understand why anyone would approve of the job he’s doing.

That makes sense when you consider he’s doing an objectively terrible job – see the ongoing tariffs fiasco, the status of your retirement account and the still-high cost of groceries – while routinely showing up on television babbling like a 78-year-old in mental decline.

When the 2024 World Series champions Los Angeles Dodgers visited the White House recently, Trump attempted to talk about the team’s resilience in the playoffs and wound up saying whatever this random assortment of words is: “When you ran out the healthy arms, you ran out of really healthy, they had great arms, but they ran out, it’s called sports, it’s called baseball in particular, and pitchers I guess you could say in really particular.”

It’s called sports, folks. And Trump’s called “president,” which is increasingly hard to believe.

Trump's tanking polls show nobody is buying what he's selling

U.S. President Donald Trump attends a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., April 10, 2025.

Recent approval polls show Trump sliding: He’s 13 percentage points underwater in a recent YouGov survey, 12 points underwater in a recent Quinnipiac poll and 5 points in the tank in the notoriously pro-Trump Rasmussen poll.

According to YouGov: “Trump's net job approval is down 14 points since the first Economist/YouGov Poll after he took office this year, when 49% of Americans approved of him and 43% disapproved.”

It is early in a president’s term to see such a negative favorability swing.

One explanation may be that Trump is uniquely bad at being president, as evidenced by his illogical and old-timey insistence on tariffs. Since launching an unprovoked tariff assault on what he dumbly dubbed “Liberation Day,” the global trade order has been twisted into a pretzel, and U.S. markets have whiplashed from “wildly bad” to “somewhat better, but still quite bad.”

Between making bad decisions, Trump says a lot of incoherent stuff

Not helping the general panic is the fact that Trump continues to utter quotes like this on live television: “I said we're gonna try to get groceries down. Right? An old-fashioned term but a beautiful term. Eggs.”

OK. Have we tried giving him a nap?

President Donald Trump signs executive orders and proclamations in the Oval Office at the White House on April 9, 2025.

In a recent Cabinet meeting, he babbled something about companies building their own power plants with artificial intelligence: “We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before.”

Even people who like Trump are starting to get why others don't

Quotes like that could explain why 51% of the people in the YouGov survey who APPROVE of the job Trump is doing said they “can understand why someone would disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job.”

That number is astounding. More than half of Trump’s usual die-hard supporters are like, “Yeah, I like him, but I definitely get why you might not.”

Of those who disapprove of Trump’s performance, 74% say they can’t understand how someone would think otherwise.

Put those two groups together, and you have a lot of Americans concurring that Trump is doing a bad job.

Trump remains fascinated by 'groceries.' That's not great.

In the same poll, of the majority who disapprove of Trump, 78% said, “There’s almost nothing President Trump could do to win my approval.”

They must’ve heard him in the Oval Office the other day saying of the Great Lakes: “I assume the lakes are all interconnected.”

Demonstrators gather on the National Mall for the nationwide "Hands Off!" protest against US President Donald Trump and his advisor, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, in Washington, DC, on April 5, 2025.

Or maybe they listened to him on April 2 when he proudly touted his rekindling of the word “groceries,” saying: “An old-fashioned term that we use – groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it.”

Jiminy Crickets, the cheese has slid so far off this guy’s cracker that it hit the floor and the dog ate it. For the record, and just so we’re clear, the word “groceries” does not mean “a bag with different things in it.”

Trump, the fool, isn't fooling anyone

To help, I’ll provide America with an actual old-fashioned term: bobolyne. It refers to a fool.

Trump’s presidency isn’t even 100 days old yet. But in word and deed, and apparently in the eyes of the public, he’s already gone full-bobolyne.

When Idiots Hire Idiots: Reverse DEI (UID = Uniformity, Imbecility, Close-Mindedness)

Dumbass Linda McMahon was appointed Education Secretary by Dumbass Donald Dumb. She has no background whatsover in education, and that was exactly Donald Dumb's point: He doesn't want to improve education in the US, he wants to exterminate it.

Linda McMahon is an idiot. She doesn't know what the education acronym IDEA stands for, namely Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and now she doesn't know what AI (Artificial Intelligence) stands for. As she answered questions from the bastion of dumbness, FOX news, she kept saying A1 instead of AI. Maybe she was hungry and thinking about the sauce. Maybe she was on cocaine. But to be so stupid as to not know AI from A1 is not a revelation: It has always been the GOP brand of illiterate morons.

Linda McMahon, Donald Trump’s secretary of education, proved this week she needs to get educated about artificial intelligence.

Seriously.

The former professional wrestling promoter made her ignorance about AI public knowledge earlier this week when she spoke at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego on Tuesday.

During her appearance at the summit, McMahon stressed the potential positive impact artificial intelligence could have on educating the nation’s youth, but her message may not have been as effective as it could have been, thanks to one teensy-weensy, itty-bitty little mistake on her part.

Although AI is supposed to rhyme with “they lie,” McMahon repeatedly pronounced it as “A1,” which Gizmodo noted was “just like the steak sauce.”

The “A1” error was bizarre, considering that she did correctly refer to “AI development” moments before, Mediaite noted.

Still, McMahon’s error did provide some fodder for social media snark.

This isn’t the first time McMahon seemed unaware of the meaning of key acronyms.

Last month, she admitted during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that she didn’t know that IDEA stood for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.

GOP Racists: Jews Caused the Plague, Mexican Migrants Cause Measles

The mean (ugly) stupidity (dumb) of US Republicans could not get any bigger. They are now telling their ignorant illiterate inbred white imbecile voters of the south and the midwest that "migrants are causing the measles outbreak". Just as the largely illiterate and ignorant Europeans of the Middle Ages used to blame Jews for causing the Plague or Black Death.

It is not the filth in which their trailer-abiding "white trash" peasant communities live (that have not evolved since the first English crook peasant set foot on the American continent). It is not the dumb asshole that runs the Human and Health Services Dept, one gigantic moron by the name of RFK Jr, who tells them to eat carrots (Vitamin A) as an anti measles prophylactic, in sublime homage to his boss, another gigantic moron by the name of Donald Dumb, who told Americans to drink bleach as a way to combat the Covid-19 virus.

You see, the GOP neanderthals firmly believe that white people are God's preferred people, just like the Hebrews-Jews who also believe they are God's favorite pet people. Now both White American Evangelicals and White Jewish Zionists hold the same belief and have thus coined the fallacy of a Judeo-Christian "civilization" which, if examined closely, would reveal that the Christian people have for two millennia slaughtered, persecuted, genocided and otherwise deeply hated their own Jewish communities. How do these two enemies have suddenly come to discover each other is not a mystery.

Believe me, the barbarian white Evangelical Christians of the US take the bible literally (imagine what our world would be like if modern Greeks took the Iliad and the Odyssey to be the literal word of god!). Like their Muslim counterparts (Wahhabis, Fundamentalist Al-Qaeda and Daesh-ISIS, Muslim caliphate this and caliphate that, Hamas, Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah and other assorted Muslim neanderthals) who take their Koran literally, they believe that Jews have incurred God's wrath and must suffer as a result. 

But the Evangelical imbeciles have of late discovered love (with an ulterior motive) for their Jewish enemies for one mercantile reason only: They need the Jews to go back to the Holy Land in fulfillment of garbage prophecies written some 3,000 years ago during the Bronze Age of humanity in the fictional trash of the torah-bible. Unless the Jews go back first to Jerusalem, so goes the biblical garbage, Jesus (the Christian Messiah) will not return to earth to usher the end of times and his final judgment. But once Jesus returns, the Jews MUST become Christians or else they will be put to the sword (or perhaps more aptly for our times, they must be put to the drones!)

Now, the two enemy-friends do agree on one thing but disagree on another: They agree that in order for the Jews to return, they must ethnically cleanse Palestine as they have been doing for the past 100 years, though their dubious ancestors the Hebrews - stinking nomads with their goats, sheep and camels - also did their own invasion and ethnic cleansing of Canaanite Palestine some 3,000 years ago under orders from God-Yahweh himself: Kill every man, woman, child and beast, said the fucking Lord, and take all the highly urbanized and civilized Palestinian Canaanite towns like Jericho and Jerusalem for yourselves. You see, Jerusalem existed long before the Hebrews stole it from the Palestinian Canaanites who were sophisticated sedentarized urban dwellers unlike the nomadic Hebrews who housed their Arch of the Covenant in a tent until King Hiram of the northern Canaanite Phoenicians sent them masons and construction know how and built them a temple for Yahweh.

But the two enemy-friends disagree on WHO the funky Messiah is. For the Evangelical barbarians, he is an obscure Palestinian Jewish rabbi - one Jesus - who led a failed revolt against the Roman occupation of Palestine. He apparently was killed by a cabal of Roman occupiers and their collaborator Jews, but he claimed to have miraculously risen from the dead and vouched to return "some day" and take everyone to his paradise somewhere up above the clouds where they will enjoy the eternal happiness that failed them miserably on earth. 

For the Jews, the Messiah is not sweet and meek Jesus. For the Jews, he is a glorious military leader who still has to come down to earth from his celestial abode to avenge all the imagined harm done to them. So they disagree with their enemy-friends on who this miserable Messiah is or ought to be. But for now the two have buried their differences until the returning Jews - known as Israelis - finish their second ethnic cleansing and genocide of the indigenous Palestinians to "clean up" the land from the filth of the Canaanites, Palestinians, Filistines, Syrians, Phoenicians, Arabs, etc. who are pagans, Christian and Muslim subhumans since they were never CHOSEN by God-Yahweh as his favorite pet people. 

So when a GOP-MAGA racist white neanderthal thinks of "migrants", he sees filth and therefore a vector of diseases. God forbid that his own white trash filth could be incubators of any disease. You see, for these GOP-MAGA racist white neanderthals, Covid was Chinese and now Measles is Migrant. Easy, nicely packaged six-pack of ignorance destined to the peasants who voted for Trump. White skin - "beautiful white skin" as Donald Dumb said - is already bleached, hence cleaned. That is why it is white. Just like bleach can kill Covid, bleached white skin cannot harbor any disease. But dark skin is rife with blemishes and infested with all sorts of microbes. Never mind those "vaccines" made by mad scientists with ulterior motives.

This is in essence the "science" behind white supremacism.

GOP Rep Slammed for Blaming Measles on Migrants During CNN Town Hall

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie whose own Scottish ancestors were deemeed filthy subhumans by their English tormentors. But he has been "elevated" to an American now: He is entitled to deem the subhuman migrants filthy and disease-carriers.

Rep. Ryan Mackenzie faced an outcry after claiming on CNN’s Town Hall that undocumented immigrants were to blame for the measles outbreaks in the United States.

Asked by moderator Jake Tapper about the spread of the disease and whether he had any concerns about Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Pennsylvania Republican backed the health and human services secretary’s Make America Healthy Again campaign.

But Mackenzie had his own theory for the origin of the 600 verified cases of measles in West Texas, with three related deaths, including two elementary school-age children.

Rep. Mackenzie on measles outbreak: Many of these instances that are coming into our country are from illegal immigrants who have crossed the border and they are bringing these diseases into our country.

“First of all, many of these instances that are coming into our country are from illegal immigrants who have crossed the border with no checks, no actual health records, and they are bringing these diseases into our country,” the Pennsylvania congressman said.

“There is a reason why measles has started to spread in our country after decades of being almost eradicated, as you pointed out. And so I think we need to recognize that point,” he added.

Mackenzie’s comments led to a backlash online, with social media users refuting his claim.

“There you go blaming illegal immigrants for the US measles outbreak. Just like when the US barred entry of immigrants because of COVID-19, though the US had the worst infection rate. Like blocking gray water coming into a sewer,” wrote Larry Boorstein on X.

“Everything is marginalized people’s fault… the textbook white male GOP playbook,” wrote Lib Dunk.

“People not being vaccinated is the reason measles is spreading,” said another X user.

Many pointed out that the outbreak hit an insular Mennonite community the hardest. Others claim Mexico’s vaccination rate is higher than the U.S. RFK Jr. has been touring the area this week.

Mackenzie told Tapper that he was not against vaccinations.

“As a father of a 1-year-old who is going through his vaccine regimen right now, that is something that I’m choosing for my son,” he said. “We are getting him vaccinated just like I was vaccinated.

“In the case of the measles vaccine, that’s something that’s been long established. And I think we have a fairly good track record of evidence to prove that that is safe and effective. So I would encourage others—if that is their choice—to actually go out and do that.”

Expectations of the American people for the US Economy Over The Next 10 Years, And It’s A Little Scary

Aaron Ant
Sat, April 12, 2025

It has been nothing short of a shaky year. Ever Trump won the 2024 election, there has been anxiety and uncertainty surrounding life as we know it — and this is a common feeling around the globe.

The trade war has driven up the price of regular products, and the possibilities of a recession seem higher than ever. The volatility of the stock market and a supposed attempt to "even the playing field" with America's greatest trade allies has put jobs in jeopardy.

Basically, things are in limbo, and the US government's actions ultimately impact the average American more than any of Trump's cronies. Optimism for the future is exhausting at this point.

A viral post in the r/AskReddit sub asked users to predict what the economic future of the US will look like over in the decade. "What is your expectation for the US economy over the next 10 years?" the user wrote.

To put it bluntly, it seems like everyone has a dystopic view of what's to come. Here are a few responses that might capture your feelings, too:

1."I’ll make a prediction: it’s going to be bad. Destroying the economy, global relations, education, federal government, and tax collection means the US is going to take a back seat to the rest of the world for the next century. Best case, we are an idiot child screaming in the background. Worst case, we have a tantrum and still have the largest military on the planet. I hope the world is preparing for the idiot US in the near future."

2."The middle class will continue to disappear. The wealthy 5% will own even more wealth. AI will take jobs, putting a lot of people out of work. The government will stick its thumb up its ass and take direction from oligarchs (people will continue to elect the same politicians as always) in regard to tax law. And housing will still not keep up with demand."

3."I feel uneasy. The world market will likely trust the US far less; it will be hard to repair that and hard to work without allies."

4."I keep getting poorer while smug bootlickers keep telling me it's good for my hard-earned money to lose value."

5."Why do you ask people on Reddit when 16 Nobel prize-winning economists took out a full page ad before the election to predict the devastation of the 'Trump Slump?' They said it would take 10 years or more for the economy to recover, if it can. Even if you don’t read print media, this was covered on many YouTube channels.  Perhaps people don’t want to accept economists' opinions. The economy is influenced heavily by consumer confidence, and that’s getting lower every day. That creates a spiral of people not spending 'disposable' income, which decreases demand. Companies lay off employees, which means people have less money, leading to less spending, and it continues. This will be much worse than 2008. Considering the uninformed people that are in charge, it will be much, much worse."

6."Say goodbye to the unipolar world order we've had since the '90s. Russia got what it wanted. Although the second pole is likely to be the EU rather than Russia or China (due to wartime economics and demographics, respectively). The US could reclaim its position as undisputed center of global commerce, but it will likely take more than a full presidential term post-Trump. As a Canadian, I am firmly buckled in and praying that this wild carnival ride doesn't go all Final Destination on our asses."

7."Ghost towns. A few weeks back, a Redditor from Kentucky brought that up. With the noticeable drop in bourbon production, some of these businesses will permanently close. He said they're spread throughout the state, and there are no other employers near the business like that. The jobless people will end up doing something else, probably moving away to find work, taking that knowledge with them. Canada wasn't the only nation that boycotted bourbon, but Canada, if I recall correctly, is the largest buyer."

8."I think more people need to realize how the hollowing out of rural America will be finalized by the Trump tariffs… American agriculture will be tariffed hard by all of our trading partners. The farms will sell this season’s harvest at a loss and then let the land go fallow. The dealerships will consolidate. The co-ops will shutter. The restaurants will starve. With nothing left, people will move to more urban environments for more opportunities. The heartland will die."

9."I expect it to go exactly like the other six businesses Donald Trump tried to run."


The moron behind it all

10."It will be a dumpster fire for a while. The financial centers will move from New York Wall Street to Germany or Japan. The world will move from the dollar and barrel for oil. The US will still be a player, but nothing like the past 80 years. On the bright side, Americans will finally learn the Metric system."

11."Bad. The US is busily chasing away customers and damaging its brand. I'm on a team planning a major project, and we are forced to avoid the US supply chain because it's too unpredictable. Too risky. Every sensible business is doing the same. Climate change is also going to drive up prices a lot. Food and insurance are going to get so expensive that current prices will seem like a dream. It will be much worse than the last five years of cost-of-living increases."

12."Trump's actions will hurt the country's status as the world tech leader. Suddenly, most of the world will look to China for tech and engineering leadership. We'll still hold a big share of the market, but we won't be guiding the boat; we'll be paddling."

13."Four years of crap, followed by four (possibly two more) years of a Democrat cleaning up a shitty economy always handed over by Republicans. Look at the history of this trend."

14."I'm not sure this country even has 10 years."

15."Gun fights over soup cans and boxed rice, I assume."

16."Years of turmoil with vengeful racist idiots in charge. Lots of struggle to wrestle control back from them followed by decades of repairing relationships and slow recovery. All fascist regimes end, so just hope we end this one quickly."

17."The trade agreements will never return to pre-tariff tactics. The American boycott on goods will prevail along with the travel boycott. These actions over three months will have long-term effects and be unrecoverable. It'll be like taking back a crazy ex that has 'changed.' To answer the question directly, devastating."

18."They'll be fine, but Americans will have to get used to a net worse quality of life. Small businesses will struggle, big businesses will thrive. A lot of jobs gone, increased urbanization, and taxes. Middle class America will live like Europeans without any of the European quality of life services they get from taxes. But overall, the economy will be fine. Fox News is state media effectively. I'm worried Americans will never understand why life will be worse, and it'll get a lot worse before it gets better."

19."Best advice: don't have expectations because nobody knows what they're doing. The country is being run like a building burning down, and everyone in charge is trying to stuff their pockets with as much cash as they can before the roof collapses. Best we can do is throw some banana peels for them to slip on before they make it out the door."
