President Trump boasted about plans to blow up civilian infrastructure in Iran, children attending a White House Easter event got an earful from the president, and the Artemis II crew has flown farther than any human has gone before.

excerpt from The Guardian view on Trump’s apocalyptic threats: a sign not of strength, but of moral and strategic weakness Editorial
Ahead of the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence this summer, this is language which shames the office that Mr Trump holds and the administration he leads. It further diminishes the global reputation and moral credibility of the US, which he has already done so much to undermine. In a saner political time, members of his cabinet would be following the Democratic senator Chris Murphy’s advice and exploring constitutional options to remove him. But given the craven complicity of the team that Mr Trump has surrounded himself with, the prospects of that are remote.
The rest of the world has no option but to wait and hope that a devastating escalation of the US and Israel’s illegal war does not take place, leading to unknowable and spiralling consequences.
Chilling cartoon PatD, but yes that’s US now.
We’re hearing it from the Europeans on our livestreams. You can sense how they are trying to maintain a distinction between Trump and most Americans.
We do our best to show that some of us are still sane and and responsible, but I’m not sure they are convinced we’re the majority.
These midterms are a critical chance to demonstrate to the world we have not lost our minds. Take back Congress and shut down the madness!
It’s Only About The Oil
We MST3K’d yesterday’s presser. The President complained on live TV that the public won’t let him pillage Middle Eastern oil. The quiet part just bought a megaphone.

craig,
paraphrasing the old september song:
it’s a long long while from april to november… and we haven’t got time for the waiting game
FWIW the online BBC site above the fold has 8 Iran pieces and 3 Artemis pieces. The one good piece of news is that Trump’s ugly puss is not in any of the pieces.
PatD, yep, there’s a market now for Democrats to campaign on impeachment — not the only issue to talk about, of course, but make it clear: Vote D to Stop Trump. Over 40% already say they’re voting for that in the midterms.
Vance is heaping praise on Orban right now, doing all he can to support Putin’s puppet for Sunday’s election, going further than I even expected.

What America is Actually Clicking: April 7, 2026

Uncle stupid is off his meds again.
The centralization of state power by a leader who sees Christianity as inseparable from government legitimacy, once a pipe dream of people like Pappin, is now a model advanced by senior figures in the American government. Trump’s biggest boosters frequently liken him to Jesus. Vance insisted last year on the importance of a “Christian moral order,” and as a Senate candidate in 2021, he compared contemporary U.S. politics to a “late republican period,” referring to the era before Caesar’s dictatorship. He urged his ideological allies “to get pretty wild, and pretty far out there, and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.”
Hungary shows what getting wild looks like. Orbán has restricted individual rights, curtailed media freedom, manipulated election rules, and undermined judicial independence. Meanwhile, his country has become one of the poorest and most corrupt in the European Union; it’s routine, for example, for people in Hungary to bring their own toilet paper to the hospital. The European Parliament accuses Orbán of running an “electoral autocracy.” Trump calls him “truly strong and powerful.” His victory would validate global Trumpism. A loss might put Pappin out of a job.
Has Orange Adolf only been corrupt and extortive for 47 years?

Join us at 11am ET. We unearthed another artifact from the modern absurdity matrix. Watch the commander-in-chief pivot seamlessly from nuclear annihilation to the tactical lethality of the Easter Bunny. Dig in:
Not sure if Elon will rig Hungary’s election, too, but there have been HUGE protests against Orban…and if Hungarians associate JD with Orange Adolf, it’ll be a hard pass.
Why anyone thinks of JD as an asset is beyond me. He’s a shapeshifter. Can’t be trusted.

“Viktor Orban’s support has significantly declined, with recent polls showing the opposition party Tisza leading by as much as 20 points ahead of his Fidesz party. This decline is attributed to widespread dissatisfaction with his long rule, corruption, and economic issues.”

Sturaq- I heard about the Iran thing in ’53 (I was 2) and Guatemala the next year – Modern American History in 1972 I believe. Ironically enough in the golden decade of the US. Those were before my time and were under the Eisenhower Administration – not our best efforts, fer sure. I was thinking more about the purple fingertips in Iraq.
But he has it rigged. Vance is there taking lessons.
I guess Iran in 1953 has a lot to do with Iran in 2026. It’s still ramificating.
Obama’s agreement with Iran was a STEP towards healing that rift, but alas….our country elected a degenerate lout who jealously trashed it, mainly because it was a good deal which wasn’t HIS.
Lout—or oaf…you decide…..but definitely a churl.

The health and reproduction of wild animals near Chernobyl were diminished for at least the first six months following the accident. Since that time, plants and animals have rebounded and largely reclaimed the region. Scientists collect information about the animals by sampling radioactive dung and soil and watching animals using camera traps.
The Chernobyl exclusion zone is a mostly-off-limits area covering over 1,600 square miles around the accident. The exclusion zone is essentially a radioactive wildlife refuge. The animals are radioactive because they eat radioactive food, so they may produce fewer young and bear mutated progeny. Even so, some populations have grown. Ironically, the damaging effects of radiation inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone may be less than the threat posed by humans outside of it. Examples of animals seen within the zone include Przewalski’s horses, wolves, badgers, swans, moose, elk, turtles, deer, foxes, beavers, boars, bison, mink, hares, otters, lynx, eagles, rodents, storks, bats, and owls.
Not all animals fare well in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Invertebrate populations (including bees, butterflies, spiders, grasshoppers, and dragonflies) in particular have diminished. This is likely because the animals lay eggs in the top layer of soil, which contains high levels of radioactivity.
Radionuclides in water have settled into the sediment in lakes. Aquatic organisms are contaminated and face ongoing genetic instability. Affected species include frogs, fish, crustaceans, and insect larvae.
While birds abound in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, they are examples of animals that still face problems from radiation exposure. A study of barn swallows from 1991 to 2006 indicated birds in the exclusion zone displayed more abnormalities than birds from a control sample, including deformed beaks, albinistic feathers, bent tail feathers, and deformed air sacs. Birds in the zone had less reproductive success. Chernobyl birds (and also mammals) often had smaller brains, malformed sperm, and cataracts.
Sturg, yeah, 26 years later we became the Great Satan. I guess Khomeini still held a grudge about us installing Pahlavi. Israel was called the Little Satan. Funny how history sorta repeats itself, ain’t it?

JD Vance in Hungary & Trump’s Autopen | Digital Diner Replay
JD Vance campaigns for Viktor Orban in Hungary while Trump predicts civilization’s end. Plus, Bannon walks and ICE agents get caught in a lie.
We examine the bizarre spectacle of an American VP campaigning for Viktor Orban, pushing a MAGA alliance in Europe. Anne Applebaum’s insights confirm this is an organized effort to prop up illiberal democracies and cozy up to Putin. Meanwhile, Trump predicts armageddon while struggling with an autopen and obsessing over the egg industry’s voting habits.
Back home, the Supreme Court gives Steve Bannon a pass, and Minneapolis surveillance footage catches ICE agents spinning a fairy tale about a shovel attack. From BRICS expanding to counter the dollar, to Trump amplifying Mall of America paranoia, the absurdity is firing on all cylinders.

HA!
Yeah I know a guy, fortunately not a MAGAt but basically a fair minded individual, who has read only 2 books outside of whatever he had to do to get thru high school.
A couple friends and me got him to read THE HOBBIT and for some reason he also read SOUTHERN FRIED + 6 by Wm Price Fox. He doesn’t brag about it, he just maintains that he doesn’t like to read. He surely can make a John Deere do some pretty astounding things, though.
I see these non-readers too and my take is their dyslexia and other reading weaknesses were never diagnosed or treated. They hate reading because they can’t. Like me with math.
A lot of kids with poor eyesight got through the system undiagnosed.

I struggled with learning to read until I was nearly age 7. I remember the feelings of knowing other kids could read and I couldn’t and thinking I should be able to decipher these letters but I couldn’t make them make sense. Same thing with the jumble of numbers which still often escape me.

The US is already close to 25 percent short of fertiliser supply for this time of year.
For commercial farming, fertiliser is essential for almost every crop if growers want strong yields. But different crops require different kinds and amounts of fertiliser.
The world was already reeling from a urea shortage when Europe was forced to cut its supplies after it lost access to cheap Russian gas, in the wake of the onset of Russia’s war on Ukraine in 2022.
Nearly half of the world’s traded urea – the most widely used fertiliser – and large volumes of other fertilisers are exported from Gulf countries via the Strait of Hormuz, making global agriculture highly exposed to any disruption there.
Recent disruptions to gas supplies and shipping have already forced fertiliser plants, which use natural gas to manufacture fertiliser, in the Gulf and beyond to shut or cut their output.
According to one shipping services company, the Signal Group, 20 percent of the world’s fertiliser originates in the Gulf, while 46 percent of global urea supply comes from the Gulf.
As of 2024, Asian countries were most heavily dependent on Gulf fertiliser exports, receiving 35 percent of Gulf urea exports, 53 percent of sulphur exports and 64 percent of ammonia exports, according to Kpler.
These exports are particularly vital for key agricultural markets, particularly India, Brazil and China, with significant volumes also going to Morocco, the United States, Australia and Indonesia.
Additionally, Beijing restricted fertiliser exports, including urea, to ensure supplies for Chinese farmers first.
Several of the biggest importers of Gulf fertilisers – including India, Brazil and China – are also among the world’s largest food producers.
India is one of the world’s largest producers of agriculture and food products such as rice, wheat, pulses and fruit. In 2024, Indian rice accounted for roughly a quarter of the world’s rice exports.
According to the US Department of Agriculture, Brazil now accounts for nearly 60 percent of global soya bean exports. The country also exports sugar and corn.
China is a major tea producer, supplying tea leaves worldwide as well as other agricultural staples such as garlic and mushrooms.
Hence, a prolonged fertiliser shortage and a hike in fertiliser prices could lead to some farmers skipping fertiliser use entirely. This would reduce crop yields.
That could affect food security worldwide. Lower yields for staple crops like rice, wheat, maize and soya beans would restrict global supply. In turn, that would be likely to hike food prices and potentially create localised shortages, especially in import‑dependent countries.
Intercepted calls reveal Viktor Orban quoted children’s fables to Vladimir Putin, calling himself the mouse to Putin’s lion. This is the strongman Vance wants America to emulate.

The Moving Goalposts: Trump’s Iran Deadlines (2026)
The “deadline theater” continues. Here is the actual timeline of the Trump’s shifting “final” ultimatums regarding the Strait of Hormuz:
It’s a high-stakes game of negotiating with himself. If 8:00 PM passes without a mushroom cloud or a handshake, expect April 10 to be the next “absolute final” date in this cycle of absurdist brinkmanship.
The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols argues U.S. military leaders have a legal and moral duty to refuse any order targeting civilians or “destroying a civilization.” He emphasizes the laws of armed conflict and chain-of-command obligations, warning that compliance would constitute a war crime—placing responsibility on officers to reject unlawful presidential commands. — Trail Mix Free Link
Chuck was trying to wedgie-in a 250th birthday visit like his Mum did in 1776. Dodo is fucking with that schedule.
The president’s shocking plans for Iran put the military in a bind. Under the UCMJ, “following orders” doesn’t cover war crimes, and the brass knows the Nuremberg defense is dead. The bloodletting between Hegseth and Army leadership is the sound of professionals desperately shaping a target list to avoid a Hague tribunal. The silver lining?

The vote — 11-2, with two abstentions from Pakistan and Colombia — took place just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump issued an unprecedented threat that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran does not open the strategic waterway and make a deal before his 8 p.m. Eastern deadline.
Russia and China strongly defended their opposition, both citing Trump’s most perilous threat yet to end Iran’s civilization as confirmation that the proposal would have given the U.S. and Israel “carte blanche for continued aggression,” as Russian envoy Vassily Nebenzia put it.

Walker County is a county in the northwest region of the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2020 census, its population was 67,654, down from 68,756 in 2010. The county seat is LaFayette. The county was created on December 18, 1833, from land formerly belonging to the Cherokee Indian Nation. Walker County is part of the Chattanooga TN/GA metropolitan statistical area.
History
Walker County was named after Georgia’s U.S. Senator, Freeman Walker (1780–1827).
Civil War battles fought in Walker County were part of the Chickamauga Campaign fought between August 21 and September 20, 1863:
Second Battle of Chattanooga, August 21
Battle of Davis’s Cross Roads, September 10–11
Battle of Chickamauga, September 19–20
Marjorie Taylor Greene represented Georgia’s 14th Congressional District in northwest Georgia from 2021 until her resignation in January 2026. The district is a 10-county region stretching from suburban Atlanta to the Tennessee border. Key counties included in the 14th District are Polk, Floyd, Haralson, and others in the region.
Key Details of Georgia’s 14th District:
Location: Northwest Georgia, along the Tennessee border.
Composition: 10 counties spanning from suburban Atlanta to the Tennessee line.
Key Coverage: Includes Polk County, Floyd County (Rome), and the Lookout Mountain area.
Context: It is known as a heavily Republican district, with Greene winning over 65% of the vote in her last race.
Following her resignation in January 2026, a special election was held to fill the remainder of her term, featuring candidates such as Democrat Shawn Harris and Republican Clay Fuller.

He described how the airman “evaded capture for more than a day, scaling rugged ridges while hunted by the enemy.”
“When he was finally able to activate his emergency transponder, his first message was simple and it was powerful. He sent a message: ‘God is good,'” Hegseth said. “In that moment of isolation and danger, his faith and fighting spirit shone through.”

Personnel from the agency work with Canadian partners on joint investigations involving narcotics, weapons smuggling, and human trafficking, an ICE spokesperson was quoted as saying by Canada’s state broadcaster CBC on Monday.
ICE operates out of five offices in Canada, including in World Cup host cities Toronto and Vancouver, which will host 13 fixtures between them.
However, ICE has no authority or jurisdiction on Canadian soil, a spokesperson for federal Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree was quoted as saying by CBC.

Republican Clayton Fuller is poised to win this seat with less than half of MTG’s 2022 midterm turnout, and a pathetic 28% to 30% of her 2024 presidential haul.
ELECTIONS PAST (MTG’S HAUL):
2024 (Presidential Year): 243,446 votes
2022 (Midterm Year): 170,162 votes
2020 (Presidential Year): 229,827 votes
With 57% of the vote counted, Fuller is sitting on 40,191 votes. Assuming a relatively linear finish, he is tracking toward roughly 70,000 to 75,000 total votes.
Tomorrow’s starter topic…
The executive branch is sweating, and the 25th Amendment is suddenly the most popular piece of parchment in Washington. Will JD Vance and the cabinet actually pull the plug on 47? We are digging through the constitutional rubble to see if a mutiny is actually brewing. Grab your shovel.

So, ceasefire = focus on Epstein files.
i’m relieved he taco’d
gives time to invoke the 25th
you know at least one of them said to another “so, hey, what if…”
“…thought experiment”
“…purely hypothetical, but”
“…and I just gotta say I love the guy, greatest president ever but”
BiD, 👌
Two people stand between the US and the 25th… JDouchee and little Mikey. fugedaboutit.
BTW, two weeks from tonight is another Tuesday. Tacos, anyone?
i say keep pushing the 25th story until he takes the bait, gets paranoid and acts even more foolish.
Leave it to the Times to present a clear eyed assessment.
BTW , Lawrence O’Donnell and Chris Van Hollen are calling a spade a spade.
🧠 👌
i heard JD was drape-shopping, don’t tell trump 🤫
Theft, Grift and Beyond was the store i think
Alex Jones wants to “25th his ass”

I wish I thought Dumbass listened to Leo, but we all know better than that.
