"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

Ephesians 4:28 – “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.”
WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said he made a special exception for the United Kingdom by lowering tariffs on automobiles to help high-end British auto manufacturers such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Jaguar that produce vehicles in the United Kingdom.
“It’s a very special car, and it’s very limited number, too,” Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, said of Rolls-Royce vehicles, which sell for between $350,000 and $520,000 for new models. “It’s not one of the monster car companies that makes millions of cars. They make a very small number of cars that are super luxury.”

BiD, I think the more critical part of the trade “deal” with the UK is that he entered into some sort of deal to look tough with a country with whom we normally have a trade surplus. Makes one wonder if the sonofabitch is too stupid to understand that he should be lowering tariffs on the UK if anything.

He doesn’t have to be very smart as long as he knows how stupid his peasant followers are. And the answer to that is:
Very.
Very stupid.

My only recollection of prime rib was on a rare visit with my mother. She packed it in salt and smoked up her house.

Strawberry rhubarb pie
It takes a lot of sugar, but less if you mix it with strawberries.
My plant has started growing since snapping off the two “bolts” that were going to flower/seed.
Apple rhubarb pie is a favorite of mine. memories of eating rhubarb stalks right off the plant, gives a shivers now.
“it’s ‘cause they hate people of color and gays but know not to say that to you”
Yep and began to coalesce around stump the night a black man humiliated the white alleged billionaire at the White House correspondents dinner. Everyone saw that he didn’t crack a smile, but I’m sure that not many saw the actual depth of his humiliation and hatred.

Ivanka Trump is set to make a rare public appearance to promote access to healthy food in support of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement spreading through Washington, D.C.
Trump, 43, will speak at the Heartland Summit in Bentonville, Arkansas, on Thursday, according to Axios.
She will use the occasion to spotlight her latest initiative to expand access to fresh produce, which comes as her return to the national stage after maintaining a relatively low profile during her father’s second term.
During the event, Ivanka will be interviewed by Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global. Their discussion will focus on how private-sector innovations and whole-harvest sourcing are being leveraged to improve access to fresh food, support farmers, reduce waste, and create lasting, positive impacts in communities, the outlet reports.
*Ivanker should get her orange monster of a father & his gaggle of goose-stepping n@zis in Congress to NOT cut school lunches, USAID, SNAP, and Meals on Wheels funding…if she actually cares. Oh, and rolling back EPA regulations on clean water and air aren’t healthy, either, nor cutting off medical research, access to vaccines, and increasing the cost of meds like insulin.

Nicolle Wallace had Scott Galloway on her MSNBC show Thursday. She began by asking him what he makes of this moment in which we find ourselves. Galloway, a business professor and popular podcaster, could have zigged in any number of directions with that open-ended question, so I was interested to see the direction he settled on: “I think we essentially have become a kleptocracy that would make Putin blush. I mean, keep in mind that in the first three months, the Trump family has become $3 billion wealthier, so that’s a billion dollars a month.”

Bishop Robert Barron tapped for new Religious Liberty Commission created by Trump
*I guess that was close as Adolf could get to “Robber Baron.”
He also told the administration the only way an American would be Pope is if we were in decline politically/economically; can’t have Vatican power, too. Ta-da! An American Pope.

‘Fed up’ crowd in Massachusetts swarms ICE agents attempting to arrest mother
Harrowing new video footage reveals the moment a mob of angry Massachusetts residents descended on federal immigration agents and attempted to thwart their operation to detain a woman with her family.
Neighbors spotted Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials intercepting a mother who was with her teen daughter and her newborn baby at about 11:15 a.m. Thursday on Eureka Street in Worcester. The father was detained by ICE on Wednesday, according to the local immigration justice network LUCE.
The dramatic video footage, which has since gone viral online, was captured by a witness at the scene and shows the woman clinging to her infant child as ICE agents attempt to arrest her.
A swarm of 25 locals gathered, with one heard demanding to see identification and a warrant and calling to stop the chaos. “We don’t have to show you anything,” an ICE agent reportedly told the crowd.
Immigration officials called upon officers from the Worcester police for backup, with the department describing in a statement how the “unruly” crowd “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”
The woman, whose neighbors told Boston 25 is of Brazilian descent, gave her baby to her 16-year-old daughter as she was taken into custody.
GESTAPO!
The teen then tried to stop the ICE vehicle from leaving by standing in front of it, while holding the baby.
TIANANMEN SQUARE!
After handing the newborn to a neighbor, the daughter kicked the car, police said. The girl managed to initially evade police officers, who are then seen chasing and restraining her on the ground as she screams, according to separate footage captured by NBC Boston.
The news station reported that the girl’s “face was slammed into the ground.” The teen was arrested on four charges, including child endangerment, police said.
F everyone in this administration carrying water for the racist, orange sack of garbage.

White House Reveals Why it Fired Librarian of Congress
On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Hayden of putting “inappropriate books for children” in the library, which receives a copy of every book that is copyrighted in the United States each year. She also claimed the librarian had done “quite concerning things … in the pursuit of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), and “did not fit the needs of the American people.”
“We don’t believe that she was serving the interests of the American taxpayer well, so she has been removed from her position, and the President is well within his rights to do that,” Leavitt said.
*She was a black woman, and far more educated than Dumb Don-Old or any of his cabinet and staff. This threatens the MAGAt n@zi scum.
The pendulum has swung and knocked a few people out of their wits.
Won’t be surprised if Schutzstaffel Stephen tries to revoke Pope Leo’s American citizenship.
United States law allows dual citizenship. According to the State Department, a dual citizen who became a foreign head of state would not necessarily lose American citizenship if he or she wanted to keep it.
Texas House Passes Bill That Criminalizes Using Altered Media in Political Ads Without Disclosure
Phelan’s bill comes after he was the subject of targeted campaigns by the more conservative branches of his own party during his re-election run. The Club for Growth, a massive conservative PAC, sent out mailers with an edited picture of Phelan’s head on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ body while hugging Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Currently, Texas has a law that prohibits using AI pictures within 30 days of an election. However, those mailers didn’t fall into that period of time.
Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote that the bill “shift[s] the power to judge the accuracy of political messaging from voters to the government.”
“It is quite a serious bill with First Amendment concerns,” Sam Hooper, counsel for the Institute of Justice, said in a video statement. “Political satire, parody, memes, all of these have always been a part of how Americans criticize those in power. You shouldn’t have to slap a disclaimer on it. You should be able to trust the recipients of information to judge by themselves what they want to accept, what they believe to be true.”
Top White House adviser Stephen Miller says ‘we’re actively looking at’ suspending due process for migrants
The “privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion. So I would say that’s an action we’re actively looking at,” Miller told reporters outside the White House.
*There was never an “invasion” and now numbers at the border are historically low, so the n@zis kind of shot themselves in their fascist feet on that one.
I don’t know why anyone is surprised at krasnov declaring martial law, he already did it. His “invasion” as decided by 2025 is why he is getting rid of people of any color other than fascist white. We are already there. It is why many LGBT people have left the country for other more safe and friendly locales. Herr Miller is just telling us what is the next step, not that he needs to.
BREAKING: None of my ice cream breads were fed to pigeons.
The full oven experiment is now classified. View here before the carbs disappear:
SS Stephen is the invasion. Deport him.
Why is she even in this job? She is barely in any of the OO photos while her “deputy” SS Stephen is large and in charge.
How do you remove due process for migrants? You can’t. You need due process to prove they are migrants, undocumented, or whatever.
Without due process, detaining someone is kidnapping. Without due process, moving some to a prison or to a concentration is human trafficking.
Nuremberg 2.0 waits for Adolf and his n@zi ghouls.
This is hideous. This is not America. These Storm Troopers do not represent us.
The White House says Trump’s baseline 10% tariff is here to stay
“The president is committed to the 10% baseline tariff — not just for the United Kingdom, but for his trade negotiations with all other countries as well,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a Friday briefing.
When asked if that will be permanent, Leavitt answered, “The president is determined to continue with that 10% baseline tariff. I just spoke to him earlier.”
*An extra 10% tRUMP tax. Art of the steal.
Congress, take back your power. F-ing cowards!
Of course, NBC gave 20 seconds to the arrest of the Mayor of Newark…and zero coverage to a mother being tipped away from her baby and her teen, her teen trying to block the police car, handing the baby to a neighbor, kicking the police car to try to stop it, then being chased by a GANG of men and thrown to the ground, face-first. Nothing. NADA.
Human Rights Watch had put the US on the watch list because of the Gestapo, er, ICE.
My maggers only watch Fox. They don’t even check the local weather. Fox propaganda is their only reality.
Well, I already called Republican Critterz today, but this warrants more calls. NBC really buried it, mid-newscast, and gave it 20 seconds.
They are also, apparently, doing border checks to leave the US, even though Canada checks the incoming. They are going to start to look for women (and girls) who may need reproductive healthcare. Or, maybe just anyone they don’t like.
Chris Hayes is running it. They definitely won’t see anything about that.
The Trump administration is chartering a plane to bring the first white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February granting an exception for Afrikaners after suspending the U.S. refugee admissions program.
A group of white South Africans will be arriving in Washington, D.C., on Monday by way of a State Department-chartered plane to be resettled in the U.S. as refugees, a source familiar with their arrival told NBC News.
Trump signed an order on Jan. 20 that said the U.S. “lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities in a manner that does not compromise the availability of resources for Americans, that protects their safety and security, and that ensures the appropriate assimilation of refugees.”
*Our tax dollars being misappropriated to infect our country with more yt supremacists.
According to his findings, the pope’s maternal side can be traced back to the 1840s’ “free people of color” in New Orleans— a city with a significant Catholic population— Honora told Forbes. Pope Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents and his mother’s older siblings, were “identified in records as Black or mulatto” in historic documents, although they “passed … into a white racial identity” after moving to Chicago.
*MAGAts are yt supremacists. They were celebrating an American Pope yesterday, then they found out his stance on Immigration, and now this. What a journey for MAGAts.

The teen then tried to stop the ICE vehicle from leaving by standing in front of it, while holding the baby.
TIANANMEN SQUARE!
After handing the newborn to a neighbor, the daughter kicked the car, police said. The girl managed to initially evade police officers, who are then seen chasing and restraining her on the ground as she screams, according to separate footage captured by NBC Boston.
The news station reported that the girl’s “face was slammed into the ground.” The teen was arrested on four charges, including child endangerment, police said.
F everyone in this administration carrying water for the racist, orange sack of garbage.
Enjoy Nuremberg 2.0 ICE!

White House Reveals Why it Fired Librarian of Congress
On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt accused Hayden of putting “inappropriate books for children” in the library, which receives a copy of every book that is copyrighted in the United States each year. She also claimed the librarian had done “quite concerning things … in the pursuit of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion), and “did not fit the needs of the American people.”
“We don’t believe that she was serving the interests of the American taxpayer well, so she has been removed from her position, and the President is well within his rights to do that,” Leavitt said.
*She was a black woman, and far more educated than Dumb Don-Old or any of his cabinet and staff. This threatens the MAGAt n@zi scum.
The pendulum has swung and knocked a few people out of their wits.
Won’t be surprised if Schutzstaffel Stephen tries to revoke Pope Leo’s American citizenship.

Texas House Passes Bill That Criminalizes Using Altered Media in Political Ads Without Disclosure
Phelan’s bill comes after he was the subject of targeted campaigns by the more conservative branches of his own party during his re-election run. The Club for Growth, a massive conservative PAC, sent out mailers with an edited picture of Phelan’s head on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ body while hugging Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Currently, Texas has a law that prohibits using AI pictures within 30 days of an election. However, those mailers didn’t fall into that period of time.
Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression wrote that the bill “shift[s] the power to judge the accuracy of political messaging from voters to the government.”
“It is quite a serious bill with First Amendment concerns,” Sam Hooper, counsel for the Institute of Justice, said in a video statement. “Political satire, parody, memes, all of these have always been a part of how Americans criticize those in power. You shouldn’t have to slap a disclaimer on it. You should be able to trust the recipients of information to judge by themselves what they want to accept, what they believe to be true.”

Top White House adviser Stephen Miller says ‘we’re actively looking at’ suspending due process for migrants
The “privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended at a time of invasion. So I would say that’s an action we’re actively looking at,” Miller told reporters outside the White House.
*There was never an “invasion” and now numbers at the border are historically low, so the n@zis kind of shot themselves in their fascist feet on that one.
I don’t know why anyone is surprised at krasnov declaring martial law, he already did it. His “invasion” as decided by 2025 is why he is getting rid of people of any color other than fascist white. We are already there. It is why many LGBT people have left the country for other more safe and friendly locales. Herr Miller is just telling us what is the next step, not that he needs to.
BREAKING: None of my ice cream breads were fed to pigeons.
The full oven experiment is now classified. View here before the carbs disappear:
SS Stephen is the invasion. Deport him.
Why is she even in this job? She is barely in any of the OO photos while her “deputy” SS Stephen is large and in charge.
How do you remove due process for migrants? You can’t. You need due process to prove they are migrants, undocumented, or whatever.
Without due process, detaining someone is kidnapping. Without due process, moving some to a prison or to a concentration is human trafficking.
Nuremberg 2.0 waits for Adolf and his n@zi ghouls.
This is hideous. This is not America. These Storm Troopers do not represent us.

The White House says Trump’s baseline 10% tariff is here to stay
“The president is committed to the 10% baseline tariff — not just for the United Kingdom, but for his trade negotiations with all other countries as well,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a Friday briefing.
When asked if that will be permanent, Leavitt answered, “The president is determined to continue with that 10% baseline tariff. I just spoke to him earlier.”
*An extra 10% tRUMP tax. Art of the steal.
Congress, take back your power. F-ing cowards!
Of course, NBC gave 20 seconds to the arrest of the Mayor of Newark…and zero coverage to a mother being tipped away from her baby and her teen, her teen trying to block the police car, handing the baby to a neighbor, kicking the police car to try to stop it, then being chased by a GANG of men and thrown to the ground, face-first. Nothing. NADA.
Human Rights Watch had put the US on the watch list because of the Gestapo, er, ICE.
My maggers only watch Fox. They don’t even check the local weather. Fox propaganda is their only reality.
Well, I already called Republican Critterz today, but this warrants more calls. NBC really buried it, mid-newscast, and gave it 20 seconds.
They are also, apparently, doing border checks to leave the US, even though Canada checks the incoming. They are going to start to look for women (and girls) who may need reproductive healthcare. Or, maybe just anyone they don’t like.
Chris Hayes is running it. They definitely won’t see anything about that.
This country is becoming a giant prison yard.
Next he’ll bring back the whipping post.

The Trump administration is chartering a plane to bring the first white South Africans to the U.S. as refugees
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in February granting an exception for Afrikaners after suspending the U.S. refugee admissions program.
A group of white South Africans will be arriving in Washington, D.C., on Monday by way of a State Department-chartered plane to be resettled in the U.S. as refugees, a source familiar with their arrival told NBC News.
Trump signed an order on Jan. 20 that said the U.S. “lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities in a manner that does not compromise the availability of resources for Americans, that protects their safety and security, and that ensures the appropriate assimilation of refugees.”
*Our tax dollars being misappropriated to infect our country with more yt supremacists.

According to his findings, the pope’s maternal side can be traced back to the 1840s’ “free people of color” in New Orleans— a city with a significant Catholic population— Honora told Forbes. Pope Leo XIV’s maternal grandparents and his mother’s older siblings, were “identified in records as Black or mulatto” in historic documents, although they “passed … into a white racial identity” after moving to Chicago.
*MAGAts are yt supremacists. They were celebrating an American Pope yesterday, then they found out his stance on Immigration, and now this. What a journey for MAGAts.
predicted it!
🤮
You did!
i don’t have any inspiring predictions, sorry 😭
You’re doing good on the blog, BiD. Thank you.
A little bit of information overload, but that surely is not your fault 😩
1000 monkeys typing on 1000 typewriters for 1000 years could not document all the stupid evil shit Trumpco does in one day
