I feel for the Iranian people. They’re caught between a radical domestic regime that isn’t afraid to butcher them to stay in power, and an American president that isn’t afraid to use them as target practice to push that regime out of power.

Jonathan Ross’s video of his shooting of Renee Good also demonstrates that he was too busy filming with his phone to properly assess the situation. If he had been focused on doing his job, instead of circling her car to get some juicy shit-talk video, he wouldn’t have been standing there distracted.

If you’re wondering why FIFA would humiliate itself by giving Trump a clearly made-up award, it’s because political and business leaders realize he’s extremely vindictive when you don’t show him the complete deference he demands.

The FIFA “Peace Prize” is yet another example of how Trump responds to moral opprobrium by creating an alternate moral universe in which he is the true hero.

If the President of the United States has the luxury of telling us for weeks and weeks that he’s thinking of invoking the Insurrection Act, then there’s clearly no need to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump: “I believe we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world. In fact, nobody’s even questioning it.” In other news today, a concerned Fed lowered its benchmark interest rate on worries of a stagnanting American economy.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz falsely claims the Hortman assassin was a leftist. We have the video to prove him wrong.

John Corbett @johnlcorbett.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Since MAGA Republicans need to take full political advantage of this assassination and spin it into a leftist problem, they’re busy sweeping the Hortman assassination and events like J6 under the rug and literally deleting a federal study proving them wrong.

Today Trump blamed Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for not asking him to lower flags for Melissa Hortman. But back in June Trump openly refused to speak to Walz. Watch.

Sooner or later, they’re going to find the Kirk shooter. I’ll say here what I say after EVERY shooting: The motive is irrelevant to anything other than the crime itself. We can’t smear entire social groups because some nutjob that fits their demographic had access to a gun and was willing to use it.

Compare Nancy Pelosi’s respectful statement on the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk with Charlie Kirk’s snarky, disrespectful, innuendo-laden comments on the brutal attempted murder of Paul Pelosi (sound on). I’ll let this contrast speak for itself.

The 2026 federal midterm election is shaping up into a battle between the state legislatures for control of Congress, where the voters themselves become increasingly irrelevant to the outcome.

The stock market has been rallying despite Trump’s revived trade war threats, on the assumption he will TACO. But Trump may be learning precisely the wrong lesson, by convincing himself that tariffs really won’t hurt the market. www.axios.com/2025/07/11/t...

At a time when Trump’s ICE agents claim the right to go wherever they want without any restriction, I am reminded of the Third Amendment: “No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

John Corbett @johnlcorbett.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

To all the MAGA enthusiasts who think ICE agents can go wherever they want without question or resistance, I have a question for you: Do ICE agents have an unlimited right to enter YOUR house and arrest you for resisting them?

In response to the California fires in January, Donald Trump relentlessly bashed state and local Democratic politicians. Yet for some reason, Trump isn’t trashing state and local Republican politicians in response to the Texas floods. I wonder why…

While Trump’s supercharged ICE is carrying out a mass deportation program most voters reject, “Mr. Trump’s politicization of the F.B.I. has left it less able to combat terrorism, foreign espionage, biosecurity threats, organized crime, online scams, white-collar crime, drug trafficking and more.”
