Good morning lovelies and uggos.

Comments

  1. Jordan Brands/Nike announced the signing of likely two-time National Champion and likely #1 WNBA pick to a full partnership. Already had an NIL.

    Also, she’s got a pretty famous girlfriend.

    Time for another round of fragile dudes burning their Jordans.

  2. OOPSIE!

    The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, Labor Department data released Friday showed, sharply missing economists’ expectations and stalling the nascent hiring growth that started the year.

    The unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%, while the share of people who have been without work for 27 weeks or more as a percentage of all unemployed hit 25.3%.

    Admit it kreepfuck of widbee. Your beloved orange pos dear leader and its rubberstamp, sicko-phantic repukes in the Congress and judiciary have been nothing but a con job on the people who voted for them.

    Don’t look at me. I didn’t vote for that shit.

  3. Americans wouldn’t be wrong to fear retaliatory attacks on the U.S. as part of the war with Iran, according to President Donald Trump.

    “I guess,” Trump told TIME when asked if those in the United States should worry about domestic attacks.

    “But I think they’re worried about that all the time,” Trump added. “We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

    Attacks and plots in the U.S. by foreign adversaries and extremist groups were a common feature during the War on Terror over the first two decades of the 2000s. Critics of the president were alarmed by his comments on Iran.

    But hey, no migrants can’t ever commit a crime, because they must be held to higher standards of typical human behavior. Same logic as “When you go to war, some people will die.” Well, when humans breathe, they will create crimes. But not them Damn Mexicanos, they can’t be human! PEDO POWER!

  4. kreepfuck, ya got some ‘splain to do to your “monitor” or your “minder” who forced you to damage your “brand” since 10/5/2025.

    This time over your transphobia and your knee-jerk scapegoating of trans people.

    Or maybe your “minder” or “monitor” put the kibosh on that shit as you haven’t indulged in a spell but nevertheless you have indulged – since 10/5/2025.

    I’ve got the details to reveal at the appropriate time.

  5. from previous thread

    He doesn’t want democracy, he wants a vassal state.

    He certainly doesn’t care or WANT democracy here in this Country, nor do his spinless associates, so he certainly doesn’t care about them 50,000 dead Iranian protesters and would kill that many in the US if he has to.

  6. This Iran business is gonna blow up in Trump’s face. There’s no reason for this bullshit other, than Netanyahu has directed Trump to do it. The Zionists are in control.

  7. It’s now a $2 billion a day war.

    And CBP just told a judge that they can’t refund any tariff money because they lost it.

  8. Earlier in the week I was mocked for calling it a kind of reinsurance provided by the federal government.

    Markets
    Trump admin announces $20 billion reinsurance program for oil tankers during Iran war

    Should CNBC similarly be mocked? Or did I correctly explain the question asked by a certain failed former attorney and perpetual useless, bloviating fool, only to be mocked because he still did not understand?

  9. While you were sleeping:

    The Kobeissi Letter
    @KobeissiLetter

    BREAKING: The US and Venezuela have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations.

  10. The lede of the day:

    “Full glam on a horse”..

    Had a tough time finding the ad but here it is through a lefty site:

    https://youtu.be/5qm42eebn3k?t=352

    Fitting that the first image seen is a horses ass.

    A thinly disguised ad for yet another vain, malignant narcissist to promote herself.

    Never try to outshine the orange tinted asshole.

    heh.. FAFO… lmao..

    Good riddance. She was the worst. Just awful.

  11. Earlier in the week I was mocked

    You’re being mocked now for submission to an authority over your “brand” here at HA.

    And no one’s gonna buy it’s you turning a new leaf.

  12. 10,
    She put her grift on television. And she tried to cut out the big boss.

    She spent $220 million on that. Does it look like $220 million went into making and placing those spots? He may not know much else, but Fat Hitler seems to know television well enough. And he isn’t falling for that scam. She took $220 million out of her agency budget and handed it over to a “friend” on a no-bid contract who spent no more than $20 million of it. Where’d the other $200 million go?

    The boss gets his cut.

  13. @8 $20 billion could buy a lot of health care for hardworking American citizens subsisting on Republican wages in red states. Instead these voters see Israel spending it on a war of choice against a country that didn’t attack us.

  14. 13,
    Israel has universal health care. So do the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Oman. Cradle-to-grave, everyone pays absolutely nothing for excellent, world class health care. No “out of pocket maximun”, no 20% deductible, they pay nothing. Nobody goes bankrupt or loses their home or has to work until they are 80 to pay off medical debt. It’s all taken care of by the government.

    But U.S. taxpayers need to pony up $2 billion every day to fight their shitty wars. And now Republicans want to spend another $20 billion insuring they get to sell enough oil.

  15. A key U.S. Food and Drug Administration official who oversees vaccines and biotech treatments will step down from the agency following multiple decisions that raised concerns within the industry.

    Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, will leave the FDA at the end of April …. It is his second departure from the position: he briefly left the post in July following backlash over his regulatory decisions, and returned only two weeks later in August.

    In a post on X, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said … Prasad “got a tremendous amount accomplished” during his tenure at the agency.”

    https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/06/fda-vaccine-head-prasad-step-down.html

    Yeah, helping once-vanquished diseases make a comeback, apart from “sexual harassment, retaliation against subordinates and verbally berating staff.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinay_Prasad

    Like Kristi Noem, this is someone who shouldn’t have been hired in the first place — in his case, a mistake that was made twice.

    This administration has a habit of hiring the wrong people, then firing them, when — surprise, surprise — their incompetence causes problems even Trump can’t endure.

  16. At the same time that Russia is supplying satellite targeting intel to Iran to assist them in attacking U.S. bases in the Gulf, Fat Hitler’s Secretary of the Treasury wants to remove sanctions from Russian oil shipments.

  19. How Newsmax twists facts that makes Trump look bad:

    Labor Department data released Friday showed the U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nudging the unemployment rate up to 4.4 percent, but “Wake Up America” co-host Sharla McBride was apparently supposed to tell viewers the economy added those jobs.

    “Welcome back, so we are back on ‘Wake Up America’ with some breaking news,” McBride said. “As last month’s jobs report was just released moments ago, with the economy adding 92,000 jobs in February.”

    https://www.rawstory.com/february-jobs-report-trump/

    Either she’s a liar or an illiterate who can’t read her own script. Meanwhile, the dumbfuck troll who gets “news” from this “source” probably now thinks the economy added jobs last month.

  20. 19,

    These are media sources that have stipulated to and admitted to lying to their audience in sworn filings in federal courts.

    They describe lying as being integral to their business model.

    They are a very successful business.

    The media business model you grew up with is quite completely dead. You will not shame it back into existence.

  21. Kellig, Brown and Root hq in Basra is on fire and burning to the ground right now.

    “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

  22. Rawstory is supporting its own narrative, too. No media source is reliable any more. It’s all just propaganda using “news” as a method of delivering that propaganda.
