  4. Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!

    Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!

    EMBARASS THEM

    The rubes actually thought that he would lock her or them up.

    So soft on crime. But not soft on corruption, bribery, extortion and personal drug use, and pedophilia.

  6. Wholesale propane/gal, January 20: 0.90

    Wholesale propane/gal, current: 0.627

    Our tanks were refilled after the outage last week, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the invoice this morning, so I looked at the wholesale prices.

    Say, is there some event that occurred on January 20 that might explain this decline in energy costs?

  7. @ 1

    … apply the Downfall scene to the Files for a parody.

    That this was not included in a liberal blog’s thread of multimedia funnies should give you an idea of which party such parody would hit harder.

    Because someone did produce a Downfall parody, Railfan.

  10. Gasoline futures/gal, current: $1.69

    Translation: laid off fracking roughnecks. Thank you OPEC.

    but, but ROADTRIP!!!

  12. Winter heating bills are breaking records.

    “These increases may not sound dramatic to higher-income households, but for families already struggling, they are devastating,” Mark Wolfe, executive director of NEADA, said in the report. “Millions of households are being pushed deeper into utility debt and closer to shutoffs simply because they cannot afford to keep their homes warm.”

    https://www.thenewstribune.com/money/winter-heating-costs-increase/

    What’s happened since Jan 20 is some troll’s head has traveled even further up its butt.

  13. Gasoline futures/gal, Jan 20: $2.11

    Gasoline futures/gal, current: $1.69

    “The average American consumer buys around 600-700 gallons of gasoline annually, though this varies with gas prices and driving habits… ”

    $.42 x 700 = $294. Hardly noticeable if you’re rich, amirite.

    Some New Yorkers buy 0 gallons.

    But wait till they have to pay $1000’s for medical. Greatly noticeable if you aren’t rich.

    But hey that’s good news for all the people that will loose jobs, just in the alcohol beverage industry, their gas will be cheaper.

    Such a silver lining. The best thing though will be that you won’t have to here the bastards cry and whine about the price of gas.

    And it was $2.69 in Delaware mid 2024., and just now getting that low again.

  15. I’m so old I remember eight years of deriding Obama as “the Chosen One” and “The Messiah.”

    Trump’s spiritual advisor, Paula White: “To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”

  17. Inoue vs. Picasso.

    Went the distance but not much of a contest. Inoue clearly outboxed Picasso. Picasso tried to pull off a miracle in the 12th round, gave the Monster a bit of punishment but Inoue just gave it back.

    I think the fight against Murodjon Akhmadaliev was more interesting.

    After 4 matches in one year, meeting Larry Holmes’ record, Inoue says he’s tired. He’ll rest up a while, gather his strength to prepare for a showdown with Junto Nakatani.

  22. A thing that happened.

    Biden Trump pardoned the former CEO of Binance, CZ Zhao of his money laundering crimes after Zhao and Binance promoted World Liberty Financial, the cyrpto company the Trump family has a 40% stake in with it’s $TRUMP coin. The Wall St. Journal reported that Hinter Don Jr. facilitated the pardon with an Oval Office meeting with Zhao’s lawyer. When Trump was asked about the pardon he said “I know nothing about it because I’m too busy. I can only tell you this. My sons are into it. I’m glad they are, because it’s probably a great industry, crypto.”

    Getting a doddering old fool to change the will is a crime.

  23. A summary of how Eppie swindled countless “clients” to make its fortune.

    Just journalists talking to a bunch of people. Nothing there about blackmail or Mossad or anything like that. That stuff I assume will come out in documented detail later.

  24. Recently discovered this app that covers most rail lines on the continent. Used the current/classic feature to look for lines light multiple units like the Stadler FLIRT(first to be certified to share tracks with freight in US and Canada without a waiver or requires temporal separation) could use. The former NP line from Seattle to the border would have been great, but unfortunately a couple portions are now trails. Stampede Sub as a shuttle feeding SOUNDER at Auburn, or running through to Seattle or Tacoma. Out of service route between Freighthouse Square and Fredrickson, Swiss developed vehicles can handle a 3.2% Grade., as a commuter run, and could also serve Mount Tahoma. Spokane to Whitman County(state owns a few of the lines, but currently as a way of keeping grain trucks off the highway, track upgrades are the lease payment the operators make, in some cases the Palouse River and Coulee City, the classification of the track was FRA-Exempt, literally a crawl, FRA track classes(which determine speed limits), Class 1 is 10mph.

    https://rail.guide/#10.52/47.6402/-122.3237
    (App form keeps going to Chicago when opened)

    Now it’s added the rail transit lines to current and current/classic in some cities, including the Central Puget Sound. Tacoma’s Point Defiance Line, which continues as Pierce Transit’s 11 Bus today, looks like a staircase with many right angle turns. Originally to stay within Tacoma, but today re-routing it straighter(supposedly an advantage for buses) would bypass the riders. Within Seattle, as most old maps I have seen only had revenue lines on them, noticed a spur on 12th and 14th Ave in the valley between First and Cherry Hills, going into a loop between Jefferson and Columbia streets. Only current landmarks on this app’s map, but that loop is around today’s Seattle University athletic fields, but was a streetcar barn until 1940, with periods of active use by Seattle Transit and Metro until the 80s. 12th might have been a good revenue line today, especially if the area densities more. One line that should have been saved, was the Lake Burien line, before Lake Burien became a public lake that has no public access.(Every parcel on the shore is private property) The Lake Burien line had an interesting history. Wasn’t one of the former PSPT&L lines the city acquired in 1919, but one that helped put the city in the streetcar business earlier. Previous owner needed a buyout after a track washout. 20 years later became an early abandonment, due to a slide and washout. City didn’t really like the idea of owning a line outside the city, except for possibly the Rainier Ave line, and with limited maintenance funding, replaced it with a bus. During Seattle Transit’s era, a few routes had terminuses outside the city, but it was like a few blocks, tax issues. Especially the first exemption of fuel taxes for bus operators, had a 15 mile radius.

  25. @6 Say, is there some event that occurred on January 20 that might explain this decline in energy costs?

    Oh look, the dumbfuck troll thinks Trump waved his magic wand and made propane prices lower. Not.

    Propane, a byproduct of oil refining and natural gas processing, is following crude lower. And crude prices are falling because OPEC and the Saudis want them to.

    I don’t know where you’re getting propane for 63¢ a gallon, because everyone else in this state is paying at least $1.52 and mostly over $1.63. Abd unless you’re a distributor or retailer, you’re not buying wholesale.

  26. I don’t think he has any idea what propane sells for. He probably heats his trailer with candles.

  27. @12 What’s happened since Jan 20 is some troll’s head has traveled even further up its butt.

    That’s about the size of it. Gasoline, heating oil, and propane prices are cyclical. They go up and down. The single biggest factor is market manipulation by OPEC and the Saudis.

    However, the troll might have a point if Trump is emptying the Strategic Petroleum Reserve without anyone’s knowledge. But that seems unlikely. I recall he asked the oil companies for a $1 billion campaign donation. I’m pretty sure what he offered them in return wasn’t lower consumer prices for their products.

  28. This will be interesting to see if it happens, Pentagon looking for a contracted fillet of amphibious aircraft. Since if they want American made, probably will just be the long-proposed C-130 floatplane adaptation. The only people who have built large amphibious aircraft in recent years are Russians, Chinese, and Japanese.

    https://www.twz.com/news-features/pentagon-to-contract-fleet-of-seaplanes-for-the-pacific

    Probably if the C-130 Floatplane doesn’t happen, it would be the Japanese design.

    De Haviland Canada(Current type certificate owner has brought back production of the DHC-6) might be an option.

    https://dehavilland.com/twin-otter-guardian/

    Since with Defense strategies in the Pacific are seeing everything old again being new again, including reactivation of former WWII Island strips including Tinian -North, this might be a candidate for the contract.

    https://catalinaaircrafttrust.com/ngaa-special-use-variant

  29. @26 He probably heats his trailer with his seething resentment that somewhere a skilled black woman has a job that he rages was unfairly taken from a low skilled mediocre white man.

  31. It’s going to be a long spiteful 8 years for the Post. Rama Duwaji gets profiled in ‘The Cut’ in which she spends a moment remarking that she will miss the current neighborhood when they move into Gracie Mansion and another moment on places they like to go in the neighborhood.

    Post headline:

    Petulant and ungrateful, NYC’s first lady ‘deflates’ when asked about moving to Upper East Side

    I don’t miss my Studio apartment in Palms but I miss the corner Burrito shop, Museum of Jurassic Technology, free vegetarian dinners at the Krishna Temple, The open Mic at Irish Times, never being too drunk to walk three blocks to In-n-Out…

  32. @ 11

    Domestic drill count is DOWN 15 percent from 2024.

    You should look beyond drill count to efficiency:

    E&P Upside: Top operators (e.g., Exxon, Conoco) with low breakevens may deliver strong returns, especially if efficiency gains keep costs down. US production hit record highs in 2025 despite lower rig counts, thanks to longer laterals and better tech.

    @ 13

    $.42 x 700 = $294. Hardly noticeable if you’re rich, amirite.

    That’s wholesale price decline. Retail is different. It’s not the wholesale price that spikes when the power goes out and everyone needs 10 gallons for their generator. It’s the price at the pump that spikes.

    I would add that a conservative responding to a $294 increase in the cost of something with, “Who cares, I’m rich.” would not be received well by HA libbies.

  33. @32

    Ok. But do retail. $1.00 decline? $700 per year? Pales in comparison to paying $2000 per month for healthcare or now having to be without it regardless if you had that $1000 in your pocket.

    Never mind the price of meat?

    That $700 didn’t hurt the framers like the tariffs did and had to be bailed out for them.

  34. Hardly noticeable if you’re rich, amirite

    Whether said, “Who cares, I’m rich”, or not, $1000 is hardly noticeable to a cheap ass rich person that is complaining about it or then if not they really don’t care and prefer to exploit it as an issue.

    Do you care about healthcare coasting $2000 per month for some? NO.

  35. Modern-day Americana:

    Today I became a step-great-great-uncle to a boy whose baby daddy is a Guatamalan illegal.

    Mother and son are doing well. His great-great-grandmother not so much – she claims 60s is too young to be a great-great anything.

  36. @ 34

    Do you care about healthcare coasting $2000 per month for some? NO.

    It certainly is hard to care for those who voted for the Democrats who caused it. Stupidity should be painful.

  37. @36

    Why haven’t Republicans fixed yet? Why aren’t they fixing it?

    They are the ones that fix everything.

  39. @35 Keep his daddy and deport your ass. He works harder than you do. Probably drives drunk less, too.

  40. @36 Democrats who caused it.

    You’re right, Democrats ultimately caused high ACA premiums, because if Republicans had their way, there would be no ACA or premiums at all.

  41. Elon mad EU is fining X for not moderating hate speech so Donnie has Widdle Marco ban US entry to the guy who was in charge of drafting EU social media regulations.

  42. Donnie is so mad the Supreme Court said there is no evidence Joe Biden leaned on Facebook to suppress the ‘true’ cause of Covid he had Widdle Marco ban US entry of the guy who wrote EU social media watchdog rules.

  43. RFK Jr. is so mad there is no evidence Ivermectin cures anything other than parasitic worms Donnie had Widdle Marco ban US entry to the people who created the EU’s social media guidelines on ACCURATE medical advice.

  45. The best and brightest.

    CINCINNATI (WXIX) – The suspended U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) supervisor accused of strangling a woman and lying about it to a federal agent will stay behind bars in solitary confinement following a lengthy detention hearing Monday in Cincinnati federal court.

    Samuel Saxon, 47, of Corryville, pleaded not guilty to one count of making false statements to a federal officer who is investigating felonious assault, domestic violence and strangulation charges against Saxon from a Dec. 5 incident.

    The dazzling deet in this groomer story, he initiated the relationship when he was 40…and she had just turned 18.

  47. 2025 under MAGA represents the largest federal tax increases in many decades.

  48. Nobody anywhere ever believed that NATO ever had any plans or ambitions toward any Russian territory.

    Not once.

    Not ever.

    Including Putin.

  49. As a security treaty organization NATO offers security guarantees and support for member organizations against territorial violations by others, in particular by Russia.

  50. By constantly and historically violating and threatening to violate the territory of its neighbors dozens of times Russia creates and maintains the need for NATO.

  51. The only time in NATO’s 76 year history that the treaty’s Article 5 guarantee for mutual defense has ever been invoked by any member state it was the United States following the 9/11 attacks.

  52. Good times.

    True
    Pam’s DOJ informs Congress they redacted a photo of Donald Trump and Gislane Maxwell in violation of the law that states plainly ONLY identifying information about victims can remain redacted.

    Alleged:
    The photo is previously unknown to the public AND it is from after the time Donnie has maintained he severed ties with the world’s most notorious pedophile and the leader of his pedophile prostitute ring.

  53. @ 52,

    She redacted the names and identifying details of co-conspirators.

  55. US production hit record highs in 2025 despite lower rig counts, thanks to longer laterals and better tech.

    Translation: OPEC will keep pumping until the drill count dips further. Roughnecks will be laid off.

  57. Americans Are Losing Hope — Mass Layoffs Continue and No One Can Find Work

    Yes, Virginia, people are being replaced by AI.

    I remember in the era of empty suit Bush, someone being laid off was ordered to train their replacement from India or no severance.

    Now a machine is trained.

    teh kreepfuck will now appear and claim these videos about people losing their jobs and applying to 100, 500 jobs and getting nowhere are AI generated by..

    S O R O S…

    That’s what teh babbling butthole would do in a heartbeat. You could always depend on that jackass for a laugh.

  59. The next President will have the unchecked authority to impound all Congressionally approved funding for ICE, cancel every contract for torture facilities and concentration camps and fire every agent.

  61. Pam Bondi,

    “There is NOTHING in the Epstein files and the case is closed.”

    (Six months later)

    Pam Bondi,

    “We just found, like, a million documents we’ve never seen before about Epstein and my office and the investigators are high integrity and there is no case for criminality by anyone.”

  62. Ok this account of Eppie’s relationship with JPMorgan Chase makes for interesting reading and fills in the picture to some degree of how the freek made munee and maintained its lavish and depraved lifestyle.

    One can hope more stuff comes out, fills out the picture even more and the whole truth is known.

  63. the world’s most notorious pedophile and the leader of his pedophile prostitute ring.

    How can that be if not one perp is in jail.

    Massive coverup for heterosexual white males.

    We love Pedophiles!!! That’s the message I’m getting, so long as no gays are involved.

  65. Donnie got played by Putin again today getting on a hastily arranged phone call before meeting with Zelensky.

    “Yes Donald the election was stollen from you. Hunter did it. And the parts of the Donbas we we haven’t pushed our troops into? You must convince him to give it to me.”

  69. Sweet Jesus the dumbest motherfucker

    Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices.”

  70. @69

    RFK Jr.

    “Hold my dead bear cub.

    The 1918 Influenza pandemic was a lab leak!”

  71. The best thing about this is that for the next 3.5-4 decades YLB’s offspring get to pay taxes to cover part of the debt that funded it. While never achieving that dream themselves.

    Just T.J. the Army Vet
    @thomas_garrard

    They told generations of American citizens that the American dream was no longer attainable, while giving third worlders the American dream for free. A tipping point has been reached.

  72. All that Somali fraud money donated to Tim Walz and Boxcheck Momala last year, and they still lost.

  73. 69,

    Bombing pre-schools and building rape camps is how Russia shows they want Ukraine to succeed.

  74. @ 52

    … they redacted a photo of Donald Trump and Gislane Maxwell…

    Two points:

    • Trump kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago. There’s no indication that he did the same to Maxwell, who is the daughter of someone that Trump might possibly have done business with.

    • Said photo was taken years before Ghislaine Maxwell was a guest at Chelsea Clinton’s wedding.

    This is a nothingburger.

  75. Weird that Governor Tim Walz launched the initial investigation into Feeding Our Future in Wisconsin before it was taken over by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2023 and later inherited by MAGA and FOX News.

    MAGA can’t even prosecute a turkey sub. So they cosplay instead with years old cases.

  76. 400 invited guests plus their personal guests attended the Chelsea Clinton Marc Mevinsky wedding in 2010.

    Ted Waite was an invited guest of the family of the groom. His plus one attending guest was Ghislaine Maxwell, his partner at the time. At that time she had not been charged nor convicted in any criminal case.

  77. @ 60

    Can you all tell yours truly is lmao at this klown car?

    We can all tell that you have no idea that there are data showing benefit of ivermectin use in some patients with breast or NSCLC, YLB.

    People with stage 4 disease don’t hope for “cure”, so you are correct that ivermectin is not a cancer “cure”. But if you have six months to live on one drug cocktail and the addition of ivermecting gives you nine to 12 months of life, in the oncology world that is a treatment success.

    When one of your children contracts stage 4 colon cancer in his 40s you will be right there next to him screaming for him to be added to an ivermectin combination chemotherapy trial, YLB. And you’ll demand he not be put into the placebo arm.

    I can wait.

  78. Trump’s Attorney General deliberately redacted the faces and identifying information specifically of Epstein co-conspirators in order to protect them from public discovery.

    For whom exactly would she do that?

  79. Dumbfuck as a Horse Paste Truther is the absolute chef’s kiss on his silly, humiliating claims to an MD. 😘

    Best
    Christmas
    Ever

    Thank you so much to lmao and whoever the fuck “Hold my dead bear cub” is. Bless you both for that. Best gift all year, after the incredible chef’s knife my wife surprised me with.

  80. get to pay taxes to cover part of the debt that funded it.

    ya mean the occupation of Afghanistan you were so rah, rah to continue?

    After all the guy you voted for once, McSame, babbled we’ve only been in Korea for over half a century why not a country still struggling to advance past medievalism?

  81. I no longer care weather Drumpf is guilty or not of having sex with underage trafficked girls or legal prostitutes.

    I care about the coverup into a sex trafficking ring that he was part of.

    And the lack of lawful justice for the crimes committed.

    Keep fucking the football dumbfuck

  83. @ 79

    Best gift all year, after the incredible chef’s knife my wife surprised me with.

    Rob and Michelle received quite the surprise as well.

  84. @ 76

    At that time she had not been charged nor convicted in any criminal case.

    Granted. Now, back to the significance of a photo of Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell, which may have been captured 15 or more years prior to said Chelsea Clinton wedding…

    Which was @ 74 my point, by the way.

  85. 83,

    Now do Charlie.

    HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣HA🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😉

  87. No perps? Then let Maxwell go and pay restitution to the Epstein Estate.

    This is a coverup of epic proportions. A money driven scandal of millionaires. MAGA people don’t like the millionaires.

  88. Now, back to

    Nope.

    Now back to Trump’s Attorney General redacting all the names and identifying details of Epstein co-conspirators.

    That is the single most relevant detail of what has been released, relevant to what has been withheld.

    And it won’t go away despite all the weak gaslighting.

  89. Which was @ 74 my point,

    Narrator voice: His actual point was to gaslight with a reference to a Clinton that we can now see is completely irrelevant.

  91. Epstein is dead, having “committed suicide” during Trump’s first term.

    His principal identified co-conspirator has been convicted and sentenced to a long prison term. But recently Trump moved her to an honor farm, arranged for her to receive gourmet meals delivered to her private room, to spend her days petting puppies, and is working on supervised community release for her.

    The rest of Epstein’s unidentified co-conspirators are being protected and shielded from public exposure by Trump’s Attorney General. Despite all that, Trump’s name and photograph continue to turn up in documents and records tying him directly and intimately to Epstein during the years in which Epstein was procuring and selling children to the wealthy for sex.

    The only rational reason for Trump’s Attorney General to protect Epstein’s criminal co-conspirators would be to protect Trump.

  92. In 2019 the DOJ secretly obtained the flight itinerary and travel details of Julie K. Brown, the investigative reporter for the Miami Herald who first uncovered and published the criminal scandal surrounding Epstein in Palm Beach. Those documents are included in the files now.

    What pedophile piece of shit was running the DOJ in 2019?

    Protecting the pedophile co-conspirators and investigating the investigators is what MAGA fascism is for.

  93. @92 a cover up and a hankering for fresh pussy.

    I’m not sure which they should run from.

    But apparently they are great at both. They are above the law.

    Meanwhile MAGA men must rely on the domesticated felines for their needs. No wonder why they are so upset!

  94. Photo ops with Zelensky show Trump is now getting infusions in both hands.

  95. Weird that Governor Tim Walz launched the initial investigation into Feeding Our Future in Wisconsin before it was taken over by Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2023

    Asked to comment teh kreepee dumbfuck troll babbled, “Bullshit! That was Keith X running interference for Ilhan Omar.. or.. wait.. or…”

  96. The poorest 50% of households in communist China are now wealthier than the poorest 50% of households in the capitalist United States.
