Go Back Where You Came From Whitey

February 23, 2026

Another disgruntled American allegedly attempted to do harm to Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump. A 21-year-old white male was found inside the security perimeter at Mor-on-Lago. With a gas can and a shotgun. He ended up shot dead by Secret Service.  

We expect to learn that he was a rabid Trump supporter (not an immigrant) who was pissed off at something Trump did. After all, his supporters are almost all white (not immigrants), mostly male and are more likely to sleep with guns than with women. Maybe because Trump’s name (and thousands of pictures and/or videos we haven’t seen yet) appears one million times in the tiny fraction of The Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files he has permitted us to know about. Maybe it was because Trump keeps fucking around with his stupid tariff/taxes that are making life so much harder and less affordability-er for all except the wealthiest of Trump’s supporters. Anyway, not an immigrant. Time to deport all the white Trump supporters.

Today’s Question For The Day:

Has anyone noticed that none of the WHITE MALES who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump were white males and not immigrants who were not white?

Bonus Question:

Has anyone noticed that 99% (at least) of all the mass shooters in this country were WHITE MALES and not immigrants who were not white males?

This has been your Paying Attention™ Question For The Day

UPDATE

The now dead young man was a rabid Trump supporter who was disillusioned by the lies and cover-up related to The Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files, and finally blamed the appropriate party. Not saying his response was the proper one, but that is none of my business.

Broken News CORRECTION – Nobody's Perfect

Mistakes Were Made

February 23, 2026

During our report one week ago, covering The Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files, the following appeared:

Our interns are hard at work starting a rumor that within those millions, possibly billions, of Epstein Pedo-files still being held hostage by Trump (who, it must be remembered has the authority to release anything he wants to), there are hundreds, possibly thousands of photographs of Trump with underage girls. Allegedly. Or so it is said.

Whatever you do, please resist the temptation to spread this rumor, as it is completely unfounded. Or is it? We may never know.

Upon further investigation, our non-existent sources have informed us that this is not a rumor. The fact that photographic evidence of Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump with underage girls at one of Jeffrey Epstein's pedophile parlors exists should in fact be treated at absolute fact. Or at the very least as alternative fact.

We apologize to anyone who was offended by this grave error. We hope that our sincere apology in the face of this miscue will allow you to retain your faith in our high-quality reporting, which many people are saying is the best quality, perhaps in all of recorded (or at least blogged) history. Rest assured, nothing like this will ever happen again…until it does.

This is Ed Venture, managing editor, once again apologizing. The duck stops here.

Question For The Day – Jailhouse Crock

Who’s Your Warden?

February 22, 2026

It turns out Trump is deporting immigrants at the same pace as Barack Obama. One important difference is Trump is detaining considerably more people (in Guantanamo Bay-like conditions). So, he is causing to have many more camps built – former warehouses that will, you can bet, simply warehouse humans as if they were non-perishables – which means they plan to fill these facilities to over-capacity, with maximum inhumanity, at great profit to the private prison industry.

Today’s Question For The Day:

Is this whole immigration problem hoax in reality a money-making operation, with the nowhere-near-as-promised number of deportations just for cover, and the murderous, fascist racism just a bonus?

Bonus Question:

Does Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump have a financial stake in all the private prison companies that are building The Donald J Trump concentration camps?

Double Bonus Question:

How many millions of Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files have already been destroyed by Trump’s Department of Jaundice?

This has been your Paying Attention™ Question For The Day.

Trump’s Trash Tariff Taxes Temporarily Torched

The Court Is On His Balls

February 21, 2026

Finally, after Trump’s year-plus relentless authoritarian assholery and presidential crime spree, he has been called out and shut down by the Supreme Court on his failing, asinine and now officially illegal tariffs. These tariffs were always illegal, it’s just that neither Trump nor this Court has ever taken such issues into account in their actions and decisions, respectively.


Bang, bang Roberts’ wooden gavel came down upon his head

This time though, even two of Trump’s appointees – Gorsuch and Coney Barrett – and the chief justice chose the Constitution over the authoritarian they helped create.

The Don held a press tantrum to excoriate the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision that the Constitution does not allow a president to levy taxes, which despite all they endless lying by Trump is what tariffs are, in peacetime.

Trump accused the Court of being all the things he is, because – say it with me – Donald Trump is only and always talking about himself.

Now, this grifting gonif needs to pay everyone back all the money he just stole from us.

This Court, that has given Trump just about everything he wanted, and much more than the vast majority of legal scholars believe is commensurate with our Constitution, finally does something he does not like and, as Trump always does, he throws them under the next convenient bus. Because in his fragile eggshell mind, you either agree with him 100% of the time, or you deserve to die.

And that’s the way it is.

I. Mangrey reporting.

UPDATE

After ranting and raving and threatening everyone and everything in response to the Supreme Court daring to agree with the Constitution, Der Furor posted on his crappy Twitter knock-off

“I don’t care what those six losers on the Supreme Court say, I am in charge. The Supreme Court said so. I was only going to be dictator on day one, or year one, but after this fake hoax decision, I will just have to do what I know is best. I have a very good brain. Donald Trump is now going to put a 75% tariff on the Supreme Court. Well, not the ones who voted for me, just the other ones who are ruining this country. I have spoken.”

Danger, America, Danger

February 21, 2026

Speaking of turning everything to shit, Trump wants to turn America into Abu Ghraib.* He is a cornered, rabid creature, blindly and violently lashing out in all directions. The Trump Reich is building a number of prison camps, but many are being stopped in their tracks by massive uproar and vigilance across the country.

There are already a number of human warehouses where thousands of innocent immigrants – our friends, neighbors, local workers – are currently being held. These detainees have been denied due process, civil rights, legal rights, and sometimes their lives. Surprise inspections have revealed disgusting, inhumane conditions, including no beds, insufficient heat or personal hygiene needs and rotten food.

Trump’s newest depredation harkens back to his earlier psychosis of having won the 2020 election. This fucking lunatic is still running for president in 2020. Somebody get gramps a Xanax or maybe a nice coma.

Dementia Don’s latest take on our elections did not help his case for not being committed

“The Republcans (his word not mine) should say we want to take over. We should take over the voting the voting in at least…many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.”

Naturally, he denied saying this when called out by a reporter then next day.

Step one has already been carried out and carried away. Trump ordered the previously disappeared Tulsi Gabbard, who has no business sticking her white-streaked head into domestic affairs, to steal all the ballots from the Fulton County, Georgia election facility. To do no one knows what with. Just kidding. Everyone knows what they plan to do with those ballots, and it would make Jeffrey Epstein blush.


Here’s what the fuckers stole from Fulton County

This mention of Jeffrey Epstein brought to you by

The Donald Trump
Memorial ePSTEIN FILES

The Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files, you know you want them, you know they have them, you know they are breaking the law by hiding at least 3,000,000 files from the American public. And that is YOU.

Christopher Titus – Armageddon Update

We now return you to the non-Epstein news…

In a recent interview with Substack host Jim Acosta, former White House counsel in Trump's first administration Ty Cobb accused Trump of tarnishing "everything that was once dignified and sacred about America. He's not well ... "

He’s not well? He’s not on the same planet as ‘well’.

Besides the unbridled hatred and racism, it’s entirely possible that much of Trump’s illegal and insane terror squad deployment in reliably Democratic strongholds is not so much about deporting immigrants as it is about scaring people in those locations into staying home on Election Day in November.

Freak out…

I mean, Peace Out.

Broken News – Chairman Of The Bored

The Un-UN

February 20, 2026

In between illegal bombings of small fishing boats – which are still happening on a regular basis though now as normal as Trump’s daily bowel movements directly onto the Constitution – and as Trump is threatening to start a shooting war with Iran, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump has called to disorder his new pay-to-play Bored of Peace. This NATO lite-weight – the Truth Social of the geopolitical set – boasts a literal who’s who of WHO?


Trump, of course, is ogling the one woman (besides his chief-of-staff) present

You might notice the absence of, oh I don’t know…every one of our most important, longtime trusted allies?

Not interested: United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Slovenia

Speaking of bored, look who’s napping at the big event, will all his besties there and the whole world watching…


As we always say: Let lying dogs sleep.

It is not hyperbole to say that there are currently few who are more engaged in military action across the globe than Donald Trump – including his state-sponsored executions on the high seas and on right here on home soil.

This will surely be a huge success…in lining Trump’s pockets. Because that is all this sham of a mockery of a mockery of a sham was ever meant to do. Countries that wish to be permanent members of the Bored must pay US$1 billion into a fund controlled by guess who. Fewer than half of the 60 countries invited were dumb enough to join.

Did I mention that Trump is chairman for life and holds the sole authority to name his successor?

Ad's Up

Stop, And/Or We'll Shoot

February 20, 2026

The relentless rounding up, disappearing and leaving to rot in concentration camps under inhumane conditions of (mostly Hispanic) immigrants, including young children, is finally peeling away Trump’s always implausible support among Hispanic voters.

A normal person such as yourself would likely think the best way to counteract such a problem would be to do things that would benefit that community in order to win back their votes. An abnormal person, such as your basic psychopath with dementia, who is a 34-time convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender, and just happens to be mentioned a million times in the Donald Trump Memorial Epstein Files, would presumably take a different approach. Say for instance, doing everything possible to threaten and frighten those Hispanic voters away from the polls by any means necessary. Such as threatening the presence of ICE ICE agents armed and foaming at the mouth to detain, and perhaps worse, any suspicious (i.e., Brown) individuals who might happen to show up in deeply Democratic voting precincts.

Hey, it could happen. Here.

One attempt to turn the tide has an entity called “American Sovereignty” buying ad time on the TV. Just saw an ad lying about all the violent crime committed by immigrants, how Trump’s ICE ICE is simply removing a dangerous element from our streets, and how these poor maligned ICE ICE agents are just regular folks like you and me (if you ignore the psychopathy, unrestrained violence and racial profiling…oh, and the murdering) who love America. Naturally, everything about this propaganda is a lie from one end to the other. And it aired during the Super Bowl, right after the Bad Bunny halftime show. This does not seem to be winning over hearts or minds. Or votes.

There might be a much better way to convince Hispanic voters to feel better about coming back to Trump’s white, whiter, whitest America.

In a last-ditch effort to staunch the bleeding of Hispanic voters, a new ad campaign is being launched by Kristi Noem’s Department of Fatherland Security:

New Fascist/Trump Party ad voice-over:
(imagine a very white, scary voice meant to have you soil your undergarments –
maybe the AI resurrected voice of Charton Heston)

Are you worried that you or your loved ones are being singled out for deportation, or even more annoying – being executed in broad daylight by masked, psychotic, racist government goons? Let us assure you, you are not alone. Don’t believe your lying eyes. Don’t believe your friends and neighbors telling you that their loved ones have been yanked out of their beds, their schools, their churches, their jobs or whatever and sent to foreign lands never to return. That never happens, but when it does happen it’s for a good reason, or no reason at all.

 
Hey look, we’re killing white people too!

We are not restricting ourselves to harming only people of color. The good news is, we’re not afraid to murder white people who support people of color. We have goon, I mean gone out of our way to show everyone that we are happy – very happy – to shoot white people – even white women with young children – right in the middle of the street in broad daylight. No real racist would ever shoot their own kind, right?

So, if you are a non-white American citizen, you have nothing to fear…unless we decide to racially profile you because America is for Americans. And we think you know what that means.

Hey, it's their only chance. That and all the cheating.

This is fucking Coalie: He’s so cute.
He wants to watch you die. Slowly.

Here’s a much better mascot, ready to help out


Gritty, preparing for a shot on coal

Donald Epstein Trump, the Giant Orange Tumor on America's lung, just received the coal industry's version of the non-existent FIFA Peace Prize, crowning him The Undisputed Champion of Beautiful, Clean (Cough, Cough) Coal. What a pitiful lout. And just look at the faces of the three other people (below): the guy on the left looks like he is sucking on a lump of coal, the guy in the hard hat is looking for the exit, and the guy on the right is thinking that his entire life has led up to this moment and he just might be ending it all tomorrow. Meanwhile, Little Boy Orange is in awe of his specialness even as he is soiling himself.

Current Texas representative Jasmine Crockett is running for the Senate in the Lone Star State. Early voting has just started in the Democratic primary.

Make America Worse Again

Uncle Klan Wants You

February 18, 2026

It looks like we are not the only ones celebrating Black History Month. A federal judge was very displeased that Bland Dragon Donald Trump decided it would be a good idea to remove the slavery exhibit from the President’s House – where George Washington resided – which is part of Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, in the days leading up to Black History Month. This was yet another depredation in a growing list of attempts to whitewash American history by the Supreme Racist Trump. You know, the self-proclaimed “least racist person you’ve ever met”, with the exception of almost everyone you’ve ever met.

Apparently re-posting a video depicting America’s first Black president and his wife as apes wasn’t good enough to satisfy Trump’s raging bigotry.


Trump team prepares another assault on history in Philadelphia

On February 16th U.S. District Court Judge Cynthia Rufe ruled that the son-of-a-Klan-fan must restore the exhibit to its original condition. Below are some highlights of the judge’s 40-page ruling

“As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto 'Ignorance is Strength,' this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not. The President's House is a component of Independence National Historical Park that commemorates the site of the first official presidential residence and the people who lived there, including people enslaved by President George Washington.”

“On January 22, 2026, the National Park Service ('NPS') removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House. There can be no prejudice to Defendants' restoration of the status quo as of January 21, 2026, which requires that Defendants reinstall all panels, displays, and video exhibits that were previously in place.”

In short, what the fuck is wrong with you assholes? You need to put everything back exactly the way it was before you fucked with it – right now! Then, get the fuck out of town and don’t come back unless you are invited. Capisce, fuckface?

If we are in fact living in Orwellian times, and ‘Ignorance is Strength’, then the Trump administration surely has super-powers.

So much fucking winning.

Show Me The Files

Attorney General Pam Bondage came loaded for boor in her testy-moaning before Congress last week. She carried on like thirteen-year-old hopped up on goofballs, refused to answer any questions, spewed completely unrelated nonsense and lied her ass off. It was a performance that surely made Karens everywhere jealous, if not proud. It surely was what Daddy Donny wanted.


The stylings of Marty Two Bulls

The UK's Channel 4 News analyzed the emails in the latest batch of 3.5 million pages, they concluded, “Potentially only 2 percent of the information the FBI retrieved from Epstein’s homes” is what has been shared with the public.

Aren’t they beautiful? So neat. So tidy. All there in black and white. Mostly black. If only those documents could talk before they were suffocated into blackness. What might they say?

I am only spitballing here, but could it be


It is not easy redacting someone’s name from an unknown number of documents when that name – and who knows what else – appears several million times. Some say it would be easier to keep those files hidden from the public, and from anyone who might have legal recourse in mind.

Our interns are hard at work starting a rumor that within those millions, possibly billions, of Epstein Pedo-files still being held hostage by Trump (who, it must be remembered has the authority to release anything he wants to), there are hundreds, possibly thousands of photographs of Trump with underage girls.

But too many among us seem to be okay with the fascism and the philandering pedophiles fomenting it. They keep spitting right in our faces every fucking day, but we are not having it.

There are more protest songs than we can count, yet never enough, and new ones pop up almost as often as a sucker is born.

Broken News – MINNESOTA ACCOMPLISHED

Shame Over (Maybe)

February 15, 2026

“Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, January 13, 2026,
after the execution of Renee Nicole Good by ICE
(as echoed by Frey’s ASL interpreter)

Minneapolis was brutalized and traumatized by Trump’s ICE ICE death squads. People were afraid to leave their homes, afraid to send their children to school. Businesses suffered, people injured, property damaged, two of course were executed in broad daylight. There will be no federal investigation into the execution of Renee Nicole Good, and the feds have appropriated all evidence of the obvious, flagrant crime and will not allow local authorities access.

On the heels of the announcement by fake-job-holder, and full-time bridge troll Tom Homan that Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump’s ICE ICE would be packing up their military-style weapons, machinery of war, and hidden cache of dead bodies, and leaving the war-torn city they sought to destroy, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey should have had this to say:

Major combat operations in Minneapolis have ended. In the battle of Minneapolis, the good people of this city and their allies have prevailed. We have difficult work to do in Minneapolis. We are bringing order to parts of this city that have been ravaged by the president’s goons. Our mission continues...The War on Democracy continues, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide.


They finally got the fuck out of Minneapolis...sort of

Thank you, Minneapolis and all those who kept the pressure on Trump, Noem, Bovino, Homan and Trump’s trigger-happy troglodytes, and finally caused those ratfuckers to get the fuck out of Minneapolis.*

____________________________________________
*Unfortunately, it remains unclear if and when the withdrawal will be complete, but the death squad surge does appear to be over. And Homan has threatened “If we need to come back, we’ll come back.”
