Pic Of The Day -- A Message For ICE From The Olympics

 

British-American Olympic medalist freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy for the win:

Accompanying the photo is Kenworthy's message to Americans to let Congress know that you want them to oppose funding for DHS without meaningful restrictions on ICE and Border Patrol thugs.  We're rooting for a medal for you, Gus!

Oh, and if you couldn't tell, Kenworthy peed the message in the snow.  Silver Spring Bureau Chief Brian, who brought this to our attention says, "I was particularly impressed with his penismanship!" Hey oh!

Trump Pushing Ukraine For "Peace" Deal

 



In the year he's been in office, the unhinged and venal Malignant Fascist (a.k.a. "Agent Krasnov") has been doing a lot of damage to Ukraine's ability to fight off the brutal invasion by Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin.  Lately, through his "negotiators," Moscow-friendly real estate developer friend Steve "Witless" Witkoff and his greedy son-in-law Jared Kushner, he's been pressuring the aggrieved party Ukraine to surrender territory and their sovereignty to the Russian invaders.  Ukraine's President Zelenskyy is indicating that the MF wants a "peace" agreement, i.e. capitulation, by June, as CNN reports:

"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that the United States wants a peace settlement between Ukraine and Russia by early summer, despite repeated rounds of talks failing to reach a breakthrough over the issues of territory and security guarantees.

'They say they want to get everything done by June,' Zelensky said in remarks published Saturday by the Presidency. 'And they will do everything to end the war. They want a clear schedule of events.'

'If the Russians are really ready to end the war, then it is really important to set a deadline,' he added.

Zelensky said that Washington had proposed that Ukrainian and Russian delegations meet in the United States, probably in Miami, in a week’s time. 'We have confirmed our participation.'” (our emphasis)

An existential problem for Ukraine has been the MF regime's clear tilt toward the Kremlin from the beginning (e.g., the Oval Office ambush of Zelenskyy), as Zelenskyy acknowledged it in an indirect way by referencing the talks Witkoff and Kushner have been having with the Kremlin:

“'The American side says they can guarantee the monitoring,' Zelensky said, referring to the trilateral negotiations in Abu Dhabi this week.

'There can be no end to the war without security guarantees. This is an absolute certainty.'

He added that there were signs that some bilateral discussions between the US and Russia might impinge on Ukraine. 'Ukraine will not support any such even potential agreements about us that are made without us,' Zelensky asserted." (our emphasis)

Meanwhile, Putin continues to assault Ukrainian cities with missiles and drones, focusing on electrical infrastructure so that the harsh winter has more of an impact on civilians.  In addition, the long-delayed additional sanctions on Russia have not yet and may never materialize, lacking support from the MF.

 

QOTD -- Trump Breaks The Numbness Barrier

 

"It is a singular if highly dubious distinction of Donald Trump’s pungent contribution to the political discourse to have essentially bankrupted the English language’s capacity for outrage.

"So unremitting and extreme have been the avalanche of affronts since Trump descended the golden escalator in Trump Tower in 2015 to declare his presidential candidacy that even his most ardent critics have become desensitized, leading to a level of shock fatigue.

"Yet Trump’s highly racist and offensive late-night Truth Social post depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes broke through the numbness barrier to register on the political Richter scale at a level few of his many previous insults ever achieved.

"That Trump succeeded in surpassing his own previous levels of debased standards was only emphasized by the decision, taken under fire, to delete the post hours after the White House had initially defended it.

"That rare climbdown and the attempts to pin the blame on an anonymous White House staffer are unlikely to prevent the episode from illuminating a topic that much of the media has seemed reluctant to confront head on; that Trump’s behavior, online and in public, has been growing more reckless and raises serious questions about his mental acuity and his fitness for office..." -- Robert Tait, The Guardian, reflecting on the Malignant Fascist's post on his failing social media platform of ugly, racist depictions of President Obama and Michelle Obama -- two people who are infinitely superior to him in every way.  Of course, the MF's lifelong racism is known to anyone with a memory and/or Google.   His racism has often been broadcast in dog whistles, signaling white nationalist sentiments to his racist base while claiming innocence.  But he's recently been broadcasting via bullhorn, less concerned about appearances, so one can assume what Tait does -- that his mental acuity is fading fast.  We also believe that he feels, as the tyrant he is, that he never has to face the electorate again, so he can drop every mask (except the one covering his Epstein depravities).  We have to see if breaking this post's breaking of the "numbness barrier" is a tipping point.


Sichuan's Panda Valley, Ancient Towns, And Scenic Mountains

 

Sichaun is a scenic and culturally significant province, with the rugged Wulong Mountains and powerful rivers, Chengdu's panda sanctuaries, and ancient temples and bustling towns.  We don't think you've ever seen an irrigation system like Dujiangyan's, bordered by the shaded streets of the ancient city of Guanxian. The modern Sanxingdui Museum provides artifacts of a sophisticated Bronze Age civilization that flourished 3,000 years ago.  Night life in Chongquing (Chungking), too, followed by a trip to the Wulong geologic park with spectacular limestone formations and arches (best part of the video for us). There's so much more (food, of course) in this Saturday morning getaway. Watch full screen!

Weekend Music

 

On this day in 1958, George Harrison joined The Quarrymen, a skiffle/ rock band that was a precursor to The Beatles and was fronted by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  The rest, as they say, is history. It was hard choosing, but we're featuring three of our favorite Harrison compositions for The Beatles (of course, he went on to write many classics as a solo artist):  "If I Needed Someone" ("Rubber Soul" album), "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" ("White" album), and finally "Here Comes The Sun" ("Abbey Road" album) to play us out on a joyous note for the weekend.

Russian Intelligence Official Severely Wounded

 



It's been reported that a top Russian military intelligence official has been shot and severely wounded in Moscow. Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev, the deputy head of the GRU, Russia's military intelligence service, was shot in a residential building earlier today.  A close ally of Russian war criminal Putin, he's responsible for criminal activities aimed not only at Ukraine but at the U.S. and its allies:

"Alekseyev has been transferred to a city hospital, the Investigative Committee statement said. He is in intensive care and in a serious condition following the shooting, according to Russian state media.

Alekseyev, 64, is the first deputy head of Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, the GRU. The Russian general was one of several GRU officials sanctioned by the United States in 2016 for wide-ranging malicious cyber activity directed at undermining US democratic processes.

He was also sanctioned by the European Union in January 2019 following a nerve agent attack in Salisbury, England, which the British government said was carried out by GRU agents to poison a former Russian spy. The EU sanctions describe Alekseyev as 'responsible for the possession, transport and use in Salisbury… of the toxic nerve agent ‘Novichok’ by officers from the GRU,' along with sanctioned Russian military intelligence chief Igor Kostyukov.'"  (our emphasis)

While Russian officials have blamed Ukraine for the assault on Alekseyev, Ukraine has not commented on it thus far. If Ukraine were responsible, it would be another coup for their clandestine service, the SBU.

Russia has lost a reported 19 generals since their invasion of Ukraine in 2022, many near war zones, but occasionally through attacks deep within Russia.  Since their brutal invasion, Russia's losses are estimated to be 1.2 million killed, wounded or missing, with some 325,000 killed.

Trump Tries Extorting Democrats To Put His Name On More Buildings

 



The lawless Malignant Fascist's latest narcissistic extortion attempt may end up costing commuters in New York and New Jersey:

Trump administration officials made it known to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that the president would release federal funds for a massive rail tunnel project connecting New York and New Jersey on the condition that two major travel hubs be renamed in his honor, according to three people with knowledge of the request.

The three people, granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive negotiation, said President Donald Trump would agree to release the funding for the Gateway project, which has been held up since October — but that his ask was that both Washington-Dulles International Airport outside Washington, and Pennsylvania Station in New York City, be renamed for the president.

Schumer declined the offer, according to two people with knowledge of the request. “There was nothing to trade,” said a person close to Schumer. “The president stopped the funding and he can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

The Trump administration has withheld billions in federal funding for the $16 billion project, arguing it is conducting a review into whether diversity, equity and inclusion practices had played a factor in awarding contracts for the job. Since that decision, Transportation Secretary Duffy and Trump have given conflicting public statements on the status of Gateway.

When completed, the project would expand the number of rail tunnels between New York City and New Jersey under the Hudson River.

The end of the Gateway tunnel project could put roughly 1,000 workers out of a job. A judge is expected to hear an emergency order to restart the federal funding Friday.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), in a statement Thursday evening, called Trump’s ask “ridiculous.”

“These naming rights aren’t tradable as part of any negotiations, and neither is the dignity of New Yorkers,” she said. “At a time when New Yorkers are already being crushed by high costs under the Trump tariffs, the president continues to put his own narcissism over the good-paying union jobs this project provides and the extraordinary economic impact the Gateway tunnel will bring.”

He's clearly ... not well?  A puerile toddler?  Demented?  A malignant narcissist?  Insane?  All of the preceding?  Well, one thing for certain:  when you engage in extortion, you're committing a felony (something the State of New York already convicted the MF of -- 34 times).  Sadly, he has a "get out of jail free" card courtesy of corrupt Republican-in-robes John Roberts.

The States of New York and New Jersey have sued the gangster regime to release the already- appropriated funds.  But when you're a lawless tyrant-in-the-making, you likely don't feel bound by any courts.

Epstein - Russian Intel Link Being Investigated




Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced he's setting up an investigation of the multiple references to friend of the Malignant Fascist, Russian war criminal Vladimir Putin, in the Epstein-Trump files.  There have been occasional theories that the late underage female sex trafficker was financed by Russia through money laundering, and that Epstein videotaped his wealthy and influential "clients" having sex with underage girls at different locations.  From The Times:

"Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, earlier this week said he has was setting up a team to examine the numerous mentions of Putin and other Russians in the Epstein files.

He said it was likely that the 'unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services' to harm the Polish state. 'This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today,' he said.

There are more than 1,000 mentions of Putin and almost 10,000 references to Moscow, including suggestions of potential meetings with the Russian leader in the files. However, there is no evidence that they met in person. [snip]

This comes as Tusk said: 'More and more leads, more and more information, and more and more commentary in the global press all relate to the suspicion that this unprecedented paedophilia scandal was co-organised by Russian intelligence services.

'I don’t need to tell you how serious the increasingly likely possibility that Russian intelligence services co-organised this operation is for the security of the Polish state. This can only mean that they also possess compromising materials against many leaders still active today.'" (our emphasis)

This comes across as a classic KGB / FSI "honeytrap" operated by Epstein and financed by the Kremlin, which now conceivably has hundreds, if not thousands, of videos and documentation of political, business, cultural and other Western elites for extortion / kompromat purposes, including perhaps the Malignant Fascist and others in his regime.

If the Malignant Fascist and his Director of National Intelligence Tulsi "Our Friend Tulsi" Gabbard weren't alleged stooges for Russia, they'd be spearheading a U.S. investigation.  Instead, Gabbard is stalling serious whistleblower complaints, and doing knock-off cosplays of ICE Barbie at the Fulton County, GA, board of elections to please the MF and feed his lying, narcissistic nonsense about the 2020 election being stolen from him. Maybe "Our Friend Tulsi" will find the "11,780 votes" that her cult leader was looking for in his infamous call to Georgia election officials to corrupt the election.  That would please her friends in the White House and the Kremlin.

Leaders Of Farm Groups: "Widespread Collapse" Coming

 



In a letter (pdf) to House and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairs and Ranking Members on Tuesday, a bipartisan group of former Agriculture Department and farm sector leaders warned of a "widespread collapse of America agriculture" due to "the harmful and compounding effect that Administration policies are having on our farmers and on the long-term competitiveness of U.S. agriculture."  The letter was signed by 27 prominent leaders in the agricultural sector.  Here are some pertinent excerpts :

We write as a group of bipartisan former leaders of American agricultural commodity and biofuels associations, farm leaders, and former USDA officials. We have spent our entire careers working to build U.S. agriculture and are dismayed at the damage that is being done to American farmers.

Farmer bankruptcies have doubled, barely half of all farms will be profitable this year, and the U.S. is running a historic agriculture trade deficit. These metrics reflect a sharp reversal from record farm export surpluses and farm incomes experienced just a few years ago. [snip]

The reasons for the dramatic turnaround are complex, but it is clear that the current Administration's actions, along with Congressional inaction, have increased costs for farm inputs, disrupted overseas and domestic markets, denied agriculture its reliable labor pool, and defunded critical ag research and staffing. And these impacts are not happening in a vacuum. At the same time that farm country is reeling from these blows to agriculture, rural health care cuts are threatening a vital safety net for America's farm families. Congress needs to assert itself on behalf of farmers if we are to avoid a widespread collapse of American agriculture and our rural communities.

The letter cites all of the Malignant Fascist's dystopian policies in that last paragraph that are making our country -- not just the agriculture sector -- poorer, weaker, more inhumane, and subject to a mad megalomaniac's whims, enabled by a Republican MAGAt cult in Congress.  More validation of "when you elect a clown, expect a circus."

BONUS: Hey little people, there's always the $3 meal proposed by Agriculture Secretary Brooke "Schnook" Rollins. America's Golden Age is here!
