they will never go on the attack, I mean, calling Trump a Continuing Criminal Enterprise of Hate, Shame, Theft, Grifting, Total Embarrassment..

Low-hanging fruit, no? Obama, Clinton, Gore, Biden, Harris, Bush, oh, well, that’s the fucking ticket, no, these worthless ones can’t even rail against the fucking PT Barnum circus barker pedophile?

“We collectively call Trump what he is — Pedophile, Serial Murderer, Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Burglar, Buggerer. Can we not see his grifting, in opposition to what we hope all agree is the good of America? Rotten to the core, no matter which side of the political manure pile you end up on.”

His latest foray was to drop into an otherwise innocuous speech a suggestion that he might be renaming the much-in-the-news Strait of Hormuz after himself, suggesting he might be calling it the Strait of Trump after the U.S. takes it away from the Iranians.

This, of course, comes on top of the renaming of the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to include his name and anticipated impending renamings of places like Virginia’s Dulles International Airport.

There is also the soon-to-start construction of the huge Arch’ De’Trump outside Arlington National Cemetery.

This is the fucking lobotomized but heavily armed Cunts of America. Nah, the “host” would never say:

“Look, Trump, you are an abomination, an accused rapists and convicted of that, and the dirty mind and dirtier mouth just shows how bloody worthless you are a a man, but you are the POTUS, so just answer the goddamned question and keep your limp member out of the discussion. Are you serious? You are a toad, a dirty old man, talking that way. Move on and answer my goddamn question and be a man about it, be a goddman adult.”

Speaking at an investor forum in Miami on Friday night, Trump casually referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the “Strait of Trump,” before quickly correcting himself, then insisting it wasn’t a slip.

“Excuse me, I’m so sorry. Such a terrible mistake,” he told the crowd.

Oh, god, I missed it . . . Thousands of No Kings protests took place across the U.S. and globally, with more than 3,000 events organized to oppose Donald Trump and his policies. Demonstrators raised concerns about the Iran war, immigration crackdowns, voting rights, and broader fears of democratic erosion, with participation ranging from small towns to major cities. High-profile figures and elected officials joined rallies, signaling the movement’s growing scale and visibility. The protests reflect widespread and diverse grievances, with organizers aiming to channel sustained opposition rather than a single unified demand.

Bruce is okay, but these people below? Jumaane Williams, New York City’s public advocate; Letitia James, the state’s attorney general; actor Robert DeNiro; and the Rev Al Sharpton attend the No Kings protest in New York City on Saturday

Like fucking well-behaved 6th graders lining up for cafeteria time:

But Amy, man, can we end that crap?

Nah, the whole fucking thing is a scam, and it’s all about millionaires, billionaires, and other rich cunts with stock portfolios. Burn this cuntry down: Barclays says the ‘Trump put’ is fading, and the president can no longer prop up stocks as headline fatigue sets in.

Right, No Kings Day? No Jews in Israel or AIPAC or ADL or Silicon Valley DAY. No techie day. No war monger day. No banker day. No Fink and Scxhwartzman and Zuckerberg and Altman and Ellison and Miller and Karp and Ackman and Brin and Page DAY!!!

US defense giant taps Israeli drone navigation tech built for jammed battlefields

ASIO’s drone navigation technology is designed to keep unmanned aircraft on course even when GPS is jammed or denied in combat.

Ancestral land, man, and this is the give-away day? Companies to enter negotiations to build commercial data centers on Army installations.

Using its Enhanced Use Lease authority, the Army wants private industry to finance and run large data centers on underused land at Fort Bliss and Dugway Proving Ground.

Investment firm Carlyle was chosen for a project at Fort Bliss in Texas and portfolio company CyrusOne will work at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.

“By partnering with the private sector to develop cutting-edge data centers on our installations, we are bolstering our national security, driving technological innovation, and building a more resilient and modern Army,” David Fitzgerald, who is performing the duties of deputy undersecretary of the Army, said in the release. “Our new data center initiatives made possible by enhanced use leasing, are a direct investment in Army priorities.”

The Carlyle Group, a major private equity firm, has faced significant controversies over its history, largely centered on its deep political ties (”access capitalism”), aggressive investment strategies, and environmental impact. Critics have targeted its hiring of former high-ranking government officials to secure investments.

Key Controversy Areas:

  • “Access Capitalism” & Political Ties: Critics accuse Carlyle of utilizing relationships with former officials (e.g., George H.W. Bush, former FCC chair William Kennard) to secure government-regulated investments.
  • Pension Fund Scandal: In 2009, Carlyle paid $20 million to settle a “pay-to-play” probe involving bribes to a New York public pension fund aide.
  • Environmental Impact: A 2023 report highlighted that the firm is a major investor in fossil fuels, with a portfolio described as highly carbon-intensive despite public climate goals.
  • Failed Investments & Litigation: Carlyle faced litigation over its handling of the “fire sale” of Authentix and has been accused of mismanaging the now-defunct Carlyle Capital Corporation.
  • High-Profile Buyout Loss: Carlyle was involved in a record-setting leveraged buyout loss regarding the food broker Acosta.

Environmental and Climate Scrutiny
The Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) and other groups found that between 2011 and 2022, Carlyle had a significant carbon footprint, allegedly investing $16 in fossil fuels for every $1 in renewable energy.

Political Controversies
The firm was often dubbed the “Iron Triangle” due to its ability to merge high-level politics with defense and private equity investing. The association with George H.W. Bush, who served as a senior advisor while his son was president, drew particular scrutiny.

Gulag and Gestapo, one in the same: For five years, an asylum-seeking woman attended routine check-ins with immigration authorities without issue. At her most recent appointment in October, she was unexpectedly ordered to strap on an ankle monitor, according to her attorney, Deepa Bijpuria.

Bijpuria, a supervising attorney in the immigration unit of Legal Aid DC, described the client as a single mom who fled her home country because of severe domestic violence, escaping while pregnant with her young daughter.

“[The order] was just such a shift after she’d been complying for years while waiting for her asylum application to be heard and decided,” she said.

Yeah, those fucking White Trash Illegal Aliens, don’t you know, First Nations can tell ya.

A Palestinian middle school student in Michigan who was publicly admonished for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance as part of a personal protest against the war on Gaza has settled with her school district following a lawsuit around her First Amendment free speech rights.

The teenager, identified as DK in court documents, said she faced racism from a teacher at the West Middle School in Canton, Michigan, after she did not participate in the pledge. The teacher reportedly told DK to “go back to her country”, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

In a statement following the settlement, DK called the ordeal “terrifying” and “overwhelming” at times.

“But it taught me the importance of speaking up for what I believe is right,” said DK. “I feel proud of the outcome and of being part of something that reinforces how important free speech is. I’ve learned that even when it feels uncomfortable or risky, speaking out can make a difference, not just for me, but for others as well.”

“Centering the conversation around a crisis of this magnitude on numbers, it’s not the response that families of missing persons need after 20 years of such a sharp increase in disappearances,” she said. “When we see reports like the one today, it proves the victims right: What they want is to make the number of disappeared persons smaller.”

Fucking Mexico is going Bedlam, too.

Mexico’s government said in a new report Friday that it identified signs of life for a third of the country’s 130,000 registered missing people, an announcement that was quickly criticized by a number of search groups who called it another attempt to undermine the depth of Mexico’s disappearance crisis.

The mounting criticism cut to the heart of fierce debate over how Mexico tracks disappearances, which have soared since the beginning of the drug war in 2006. While authorities say figures are overcounted, families say the number of missing people in Mexico is actually far higher. Both blame what they see as a lack of reliable data on failures by local governments and deep-seated impunity.

There is ZERO antisemitism, man, especially when the Jews of Israel and Jews of UK and USA level it as news.

A senior BBC executive has defended BBC Arabic as a lone voice in the region covering the “Israeli perspective”, as she warned its critics that it pursued stories ignored by the Gulf’s state-owned media.

The corporation’s Arabic service has come under sustained criticism in recent years, for its selection of coverage and for featuring some guests that had expressed antisemitic views on social media. There have even been calls for the service to be closed.

Same story over and over and over, and me, Part-Time faculty, adjunct, freeway flyer.

For the third year in a row, higher education administrators, professionals and staff received pay increases that outpaced inflation, according to a new analysis from the College and University Professional Association for Human Resources. Meanwhile, tenure-track faculty haven’t seen a real-dollar salary increase in over a decade.

Sad:

Mexico’s navy has launched a search and rescue mission to track down two boats shipping humanitarian aid to Cuba as part of the Nuestra América Convoy, after they failed to reach Havana.

Three boats left Isla Mujeres in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo last Friday – after a weather-related delay – but only one has arrived so far, docking at dawn on 24 March.

No communication from the two missing boats has been received. The sail should only take two or three days on average – but seven days have now passed.

Organisers, however, say that according to their calculations, which take into account the size of the boats and conditions at sea, the vessels are likely to arrive on 27 or 28 March.

Staffed by nine sailors from Poland, France, Cuba and the US, the boats – named Friendship and Tigger Moth – were taking rice, baby wipes, beans, baby formula, medicine and other supplies to Cuba amid a US-imposed oil embargo and energy crisis.

“The captains and crews are experienced sailors, and both vessels are equipped with appropriate safety systems and signalling equipment,” a spokesperson for the convoy told Reuters. “We are cooperating fully with the authorities and remain confident in the crews’ ability to reach Havana safely.”

Mexico has deployed naval teams and military search aircraft to track down the missing two boats. It has also established contact with rescue centres from each country represented by the missing crew.

Earlier this week, the Cuban government welcomed the arrival of another boat that sailed in from Mexico carrying 14 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including solar panels, medicines and baby formula.

Upon arrival, Brazilian activist Thiago Avila told Novara Media: “We are going to mobilise for the just causes in this world – just as Cuba always did.”

Avila added that the flotilla is a “gesture of solidarity” that the world will not leave Cuba to fend for itself amid the US’s oil blockade.
