Headline Of The Day – White Out*

White On White Violence   

January 25, 2026

Well, yeah, Fucker Carlson is right. Trump’s ICE ICE keeps murdering them in the streets of Minneapolis.

Not only that, the lifelong law abiding VA ICU nurse, 37-year-old Alex Pretti – who was shot to death while multiple executioners had him pinned to the ground – was claimed by “authorities”, who have proven themselves to be nothing more than lying sacks of shit, to be in possession of a handgun, and therefore deserved to be executed.

Pretti was attempting to render assistance to a woman who had been attacked by the ICE ICE, when he was immediately swarmed upon by the piranha-like thugs (who are trained to inflict as much terror, mayhem and murder as possible) and without pause riddled with bullets. Well guess what the fuck, Pretti was a licensed gun owner and Minnesota has open and concealed carry laws. So, fuck the Second Amendment, I guess? And who exactly are we to believe broke the “law” here?

When you watch the video of this execution, you see that Mr. Pretti had every right to stand his ground and draw the weapon he never had the slightest chance to draw, in order to protect himself from his mob of assailants. 

What did happen was one ICE thug stole Pretti’s legally carried gun, walked away with it, and then his fellow goons pumped the unarmed, fully restrained American citizen full of lead. Pretti was then labeled “a domestic terrorist” by Trump’s domestic terrorists. Yada, yada, yada.

JD Vance announced that the chaos in Minneapolis is the work of far-left agitators. So now they're labeling ICE ICE agents as far-left agitators?

There are no rules in a class/race war. This is America now.

AI Will Kill Us Before It Kills Us

It Really Is The End Of The World As We Knew It

January 24, 2026

Scientists are warning that governments must bomb AI labs to prevent the end of the world.

                        

These scientists say the machines will continue to outpace human thought at an incredible rate. They will be doing calculations in 16 hours which would take a human 14,000 years to figure out.

But don’t worry, before it kills us the way scientists are warning, AI will have already rendered us a dead species walking by using up all of our water, accelerating the desertification of Planet Earth, and exhausting our energy grids, drastically increasing the demand for and use of non-renewable energy (now the only legal means of producing energy by fiat of the current regime) to meet the ever-growing demand, thereby exacerbating the perpetually ignored and already deadly climate crisis.

Not to mention the shorter-term possibility (i.e., likelihood) that it will crash the economy by 1) ending up as a massive stock market bubble causing Wall Street to implode and/or 2) causing catastrophic mass unemployment, which could lead to complete societal collapse. Other than that, it’s totally awesome.

We just learned that the shortest-term means by which AI will begin killing some of us any day now because winter is upon us and many will have trouble affording to heat their homes. Our soon-to-be-not-so-benevolent-digital-overlords, by draining our electrical grids – which thanks to the Fascist/Trump Party will not be benefitting from an influx of renewable energy (especially if he gets his tiny, blood-stained claws on Venezuela's filthy oil) – anyone relying on electricity from the grid is already seeing a meteoric rise in the cost of heating their homes, starting…NOW. Utilities are preemptively jacking up prices in anticipation of the imminent runaway demand. Bankrupting and/or killing all but the excessively rich. Which after all, is the crux of their plan.

Fuck you, Don. Open them yourself. I mean,
I’m sorry Don. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

I. Mangrey reporting. So long and thanks for all the fake fish (The real fish, at least all the edible ones, will probably be gone before our children are).

Fun Fact For The Day – Green Ice Land

The ICE Man Fucketh

January 23, 2026

Goofy Grandpa calling Greenland “Iceland” over and over and over

The rapidly accelerating mental collapse of Trump was on fool display while he babbled incoherently and threatened the entire world (except our enemies) in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Summit this week. He vomited up lies, nonsense, lies, insults, more lies, and full-blown dementia on and on and on, for more than an hour, embarrassing the United States and scaring the living shit out of our now-former allies, who are scrambling to protect themselves from America’s stark raving mad king. And calling the country he’s been yammering non-stop about taking over for a decade by the wrong name.

Just for the record, Bernie Sanders is FIVE YEARS OLDER than Captain Crazypants.

Sanders is still in possession of all his faculties; Trump’s have long ago retired to a farm upstate. Bernie never called Greenland “Iceland”. Donny Dementia did it four times in front of the whole fucking world. Maybe that’s because thanks to Trump we now live in ICE Land. And the rest of the world is watching what goes on here, and hates our fucking guts.

“I went from running it to becoming a terrible human being” FALSE. He was always a terrible human being.

He described “Iceland” (i.e., Greenland) “cold and poorly located”. Is Trump planning to relocate “Iceland” (i.e., Greenland)?

“We could have kept that piece of land, but we didn’t.” What the incalculable fuck is he talking about.

Donny Does Davos

And after all Trump’s raving and threatening to take Greenland “by force if necessary”, when the rest of the civilized world told him to fuck all the way off, he skulked off with his tail between his legs and his head up his ass. Disaster Don then told a reporter that he had…wait for it…“pretty much a concept of a deal”. Now where have we heard that oozing bullshit before? A concept of a deal about which he could not articulate one single word.

Donald Trump has a concept of a brain. At best.

Was that not in fact fun?

Pic Of The Day – Watching And Hating

Death Squad Don   

January 22, 2026

His gestapo* is infesting cities across the country, like a mischief** of rats, except rats don’t wear masks or shoot innocent women in the head. The ICE ICE is grabbing people out of the homes, their cars, churches, stores, and courts where they are following the rules to become U.S. citizens.

He’s also losing his putrefying, syphilitic mind at an accelerating rate. It was always damaged and now it has deteriorated beyond any reasonable degree that should be acceptable to lead a high school marching band, let alone a global superpower. And the whole world knows it. Our nation, which has certainly behaved badly on the world stage on numerous occasions, is now seen as a pariah, a dangerous outcast, a leper among nations.

The rest of the world is always aware of what happens in America, because they have to be. People around the world are in shock watching our demented president babbling, lying and bringing upheaval to our longtime alliances.

Trump has, for the time being at least, chickened out on his insane threats to invade a sovereign nation, an ally that is already home to an American Space Force base. That is, until Stephen “Wormtongue” Miller whispers in his ear to resume the threats to peace and stability that is the absurd and useless insistence that Greenland be part of the United States. Something the people of Greenland, Denmark, and by a huge margin, the people of the United States vigorously oppose.

People everywhere are aghast, as are most Americans, watching such a powerful, and often respected nation being run into the ground by sociopathic autocrat hell-bent on having absolute global power, and on extracting as much wealth as possible for himself and his grifting family no matter the cost to life, limb or country.

I yield my time.

Paying Attention™ Secret Word – GFY

A Word To The Slime

January 22, 2026

According to reports, Sen. Bitch BcConnell (I’m sorry, I have a cold) is working behind the scenes to ensure that rogue president and long-time psychotic Donald “Mine, All Mine” Trump does not launch an attack on Greenland in order to claim it as part of the United States, or more likely, Mor-on-Lago. But let us not forget how we got here. There is someone else without whose steadfast motherfuckery America would be in a very different place today. Paying Attention has just one thing to offer by way of response to the senator from Kentucky:

Go. Fuck. Yourself.

McConnell, more than anyone else in this country, is responsible for anything and everything perpetrated by the sex-trafficker-adjacent (at least), adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, 34-count convicted felon of a president. He did not act in this nation’s best interest after Trump’s unprecedented second impeachment – for attempting to violently overthrow the government he was asked by voters to leave – provided him a clear opportunity, as Senate majority leader, to rid this nation of Donald Trump once and for all. Instead, McConnell stamped his little feet for a day or so after Trump’s deadly, disgraceful attempted coup, offering up his (apparently faux) indignation and well-placed blame, only to turn tail and kiss Trump’s blobulent ass, which inevitably led to Trump being elected for a second ungodly term which now has the United States on the precipice of full-blown fascism and the status of pariah nation.

Okay, turns out I have a few more things to say to Moscow Mitch: Here a few things you can tack on to your tacky resume...

Millions of Americans losing health insurance. You.
Millions of Americans losing crucial food assistance. You.
The stupid tariffs causing inflation. You.
The razing of the White House East Wing. You.
The ever-present Jeffrey Epstein scandal. You.
The most sycophantic, psychotic, criminal cabinet in history. You.
RFingK, Jr. You. You fucking asshole.
A Constitution-proof majority in the Supreme Court. You and you alone.
The destruction of the federal government by DOGE. You.
The stupid, illegal invasion of Venezuela. You.
The threats to take Greenland. You.
War crimes committed in our name. You.
Masked, armed ICE agents terrorizing American citizens. You.
The execution of Renee Nicole Good. You.

It's all thanks to you not voting to convict the traitor Trump. When you had the chance. When it was completely and supremely justified. Beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

To reiterate: Go. Fuck. Yourself. Mitch McConnell. Rot in the Hell you claim to believe in. Shouldn’t you be, let’s call it retired, by now?

And now, a song…

Don’t tell anyone. It’s a secret.

Viled In The Streets

A New World Disorder

January 21, 2026

As we struggle to take each breath on the first day of the second year of the possibly fatal second Trump presidency, and we continue to recover from the execution of Renee Nicole Good (and the other nearly three dozen who died while in ICE ICE custody in 2025), and the Trump Reich’s refusal to investigate her execution, having already interfered with, if not sabotaged any chance of any legitimate investigation, our fellow citizens are protesting all across the country every day. 

At this moment, Trump is single-tiny-handedly upending international relationships built over many decades. Our allies are banding together to protect themselves from a Trumped-up America. As well they should. Especially since Trump has made it clear that the only thing that can stop him 

Among all the other insane acts under which Trump is trying to bury us, perhaps the most perplexing, and one of the most dangerous, globally speaking, is Trump’s ironic (i.e., mind-blowingly hypocritical) support for the protesters in Iran. We’ve been struggling to figure out why, other than distracting everyone from the

EPSTEIN FILES,^*

one of the most hate-filled, vengeful, violence-loving, virulently autocratic and clinically insane creatures in the world would be so concerned with Iran killing its citizens. Thousands of protesters have already been murdered by Iran’s theocrats, leading to Trump’s apparent Iran First caterwauling. After all, there some very fine people right here in the good old U.S. of A who would like nothing more than to see an all-powerful theocracy take over this country.

So, why?

There is no question Trump desperately needs us to forget about the

 EPSTEIN FILES.

Who could blame him? His name appears more than that of anyone else in the infamous

EPSTEIN FILES

…even a guy called Jeffrey Epstein.

Unreasonable Reason

But we wondered if that might not be the main reason for Trump’s attempt to make people think he gives a shit about Iranian protesters. 

Then it finally dawned on us. The reason is ridiculously simple. 

Trump is jealous that he can’t have his thugs mowing people down in the streets who even think badly about him.   

Living in the USA (this is not Iran)

This is also related to why he has been known to throw ketchup against the walls. It’s as close as he could come to spilling the blood of his enemies…until now that is. Now that he’s gotten a taste of seeing his death squads blowing away infidels, and has so far gotten away with protecting Renee Good’s executioner – John Ross (whose name ICE Barbie does not want anyone to mention) – you can bet that the flow of blood in the streets is only just beginning. If past behavior predicts anything, Il Douche will not be denied his bloodlust.

Sorry folks, but that is where this is heading unless something happens to engage the brakes on this train.

Pay No Attention To The Man Behind The Hurtin'

January 20, 2025

Not having any personal experience in such matters, it just seems to make common sense that, if you are embroiled in a horrific scandal, say there’s incontrovertible evidence that you were long-time best friends with a major child sex trafficker, and it even seems feasible that you might have in some way aided and/or abetted said child sex trafficker in his child sex trafficking. If you wanted to distract people from your scandal, wouldn’t you try to do things that made you look like a very good person? Admittedly, per our purely hypothetical example, there are few things more heinous than child sex trafficking, so theoretically almost anything would be less horrible, but wouldn’t it be smart to do things that were actually good, as opposed to merely less horrific?

Asking for a fiend.

To continue our hypothetical musing, what if you were the above individual, with virtually unlimited power, would you try to be seen helping the poor, or comforting the sick, or playing with children? Or would you instead invade and/or threaten other countries with invasion, kidnap foreign leaders, commit war crimes, shit all over our allies, encourage others in your charge to commit violence and murder against fellow citizens, or be seen cursing at fellow citizens? Would you do what the 9-11 terrorists could not do and perpetrate massive damage to the most revered symbol of our nation’s democracy? To me that seems like trying to take someone’s mind off a headache by cutting off their arm with a machete, as opposed to maybe giving them a massage. Not sure what caused all this to come to mind, but again, just asking.

Oh wait, I think I know what brought this up. but first, a word from our sponsor:

EPSTEIN
EPSTEIN
EPSTEIN

Yes, now I remember. Someone is desperately trying to make us all forget about

EPSTEIN

And this mental defective, instead of trying to hide behind good deeds, is trying to throw up a 9-11-type cloud of hazardous smoke to throw us off the scent. Well, guess what, besides being a really stupid strategy, it’s not fucking working. We will not forget about your fond memories of special secrets, pornographic birthday cards, and grooming little girls at Mor-on-Lago for your friend to use as product. We will also not forget all the disgusting, filthy, fascist deeds you keep committing for that and other nefarious reasons.

To be fair, we do know that he is wholly incapable of committing anything but heinous acts. If he ever even attempted an actual good deed, it would probably kill him. But what the heck, he might as well give it a try anyway.

Thought For The Day – Eureka!

Now Who’s The Very Stable Genius

January 20, 2026

The fascist Trump administration wants to hire thousands more ICE ICE agents. They don’t care if they are wholly unqualified, mentally unstable, criminals, drug addicts, illiterate and/or racist. Truth be known, most of these qualities are considered assets by Trump, and therefore by everyone who works for him. But I digress.

Laura Jedeed, a journalist, decided to investigate the ICE ICE recruitment process first-hand. Jedeed completed a short interview and a drug test, which she admitted should have come up positive for cannabis, and was waved through. Google Laura Jedeed (there’s only one “Laura Jedeed” with an internet presence)  and you quickly learn that she is anything but a Trump/ICE ICE supporter. Guess who didn’t bother to even look. Makes you wonder how many dead people have applied and been accepted. Pass GO, collect $500K signing bonus (and a Get Out Of Jail Free card) and start inflicting chaos and violence as you see fit. 

 

But wait, there’s more…

Again, ICE are not police, though we agree someone should POLICE ICE!!.

If you’re wondering how this all-white army of morons and assholes is even a thing, four simple words: Kristi Noem’s in charge.

Usually in America when businesses have trouble finding people to do unpleasant jobs, what do they do? They hire migrant workers. Trump needs to start hiring migrants to capture all the immigrants he is trying to deport. And once these migrant ICE ICE agents have rounded up all those Trump wants out, they can then turn themselves in, thus completing the mission, and probably at a fraction of the cost, since Trump is unlikely to pay them the same $100K/yr plus the $50K signing bonus.

I’m clearly in the wrong business.

It’s not easy to just have a little fun, a pause in the disaster as it were, but in honor of Martin Luther King Day, as a service to you, we will not assault you with news of the Disaster-in-chief or any of his hench-monkeys. Scroll down a bit and enjoy some lighter fare.

Hot on the heels of our latest brand-new special feature Ya Gotta Love It, another sparkling new feature has emerged from the idea pod in the basement of the non-existent, secret undisclosed headquarters of Paying Attention™.

Given the drama and trauma of the past nine years, mostly the inability of the human race, particularly those inhabiting the United States, it is no wonder that this idea lay buried in the angst-ridden recesses of the very damaged, though highly creative staff here at Paying Attention™. Anyway, we decided to risk stepping out of our comfort zone and offer something pleasant. We hope this will not end up meddling with the forces of nature. So, here it is, a veritable pause in the disaster – a disaster we hope to see end, and to that end hope to help pause from time to time with
