TrumpyBear's 'Mars Bitches!' Moment

by Scott Creighton

The orange diddler of Epstein Mansion is not going to tear down the Kennedy Center though he may succeed in making sure no plebes can ever afford to attend a show there in the future if he and Russ Vought keep demoing the economy like they have been doing since day one.

Was anyone shocked when he barred CNN, Politico and MS Now from the White House for being 'fake news'? Not likely.

A long time ago Dave Chappelle did a bit pretending to be Black Bush and he announced a program taking us to Mars... Red Rocks!

Obviously it was a distraction. Nothing more. A funny one but a distraction.

This is what TrumpyBear is up to now.

Yea, CNN is fake news. So is MS Now. Anyone remember Rachel Maddow telling everyone the vaccine will keep them from catching and carrying the Rona virus? We knew that was bullshit before she said it and they have far better researchers than we do and yet, she said it just the same.

CNN fakes war-time videos all the time in support of one imperialist campaign after another.

Steve UPDATE

by Scott Creighton

(Steve watching as I write this)

Hello folks. Been a couple of days. Some of you have been asking about Steve and how the trip to the vet went. I will do my best to fill you in. Some good news... some not so good.

The good news:

Steve's bloodwork looks pretty good. Slightly elevated in white cell count but negative in all three FIV tests. His kidneys are doing alright and so is his liver. For the most part his blood work was pretty solid for a cat of his age having lived on the street for most of his life.

The vet (whom I really liked a lot) went out of his way to answer all my questions and actually listened to my concerns. 

He seems to think it's not Vestibular Disease however after talking him into it we decided to treat him as if it was just to be on the safe side and I think that choice has paid off.

Steve, now that I have changed his medication from the Cephalexin (sp) I was giving him to his new treatment of 2 antibiotics and 1 steroid, is doing much better. He can sit on his own. He gets off his chair and wanders around going to the litter box once and even checking out Beau's water dish when he got thirsty.

For a week all he could do was lay there while I spoon fed him and gave him water with a syringe. 

This is a marked improvement... but only so much of one as he still seems aimless at times and lethargic.  I am hoping his recovery will unfold in spurts making progress in stages rather than continuously. Or maybe this is all there will be. I don't know.

The vet charged me for one xray and gave me 4 2 of which were of his skull. He was looking for anything abnormal like a grown or major infection which he found none. 

He also threw in some free sonograms of his abdomen because he wanted to clarify something before telling me about it.

The vet was a decent person who seems to care about animals. He owns his practice and in independent... no corporate influence. The way it should be.

The no-so good:

The Ulm 5 Trial Dramatizes Germany’s Complicity with Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

from Drop Site News

Nearly fifty years after the infamous Red Army Faction trials, Germany’s maximum-security Stammheim Prison is once again the setting of a high-profile case that calls into question the conduct of the German state. This time, however, the defendants are five international pro-Palestinian activists charged with vandalizing a factory in the German city of Ulm owned by Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.

On September 8, 2025, the five Berlin-based activists, now known as the Ulm 5, broke into Elbit’s facility and carried out acts of vandalism that they recorded using body cameras and posted online. They destroyed equipment and spray painted “free Palestine” and “baby killers” on the walls. In their videos, the activists—citizens of Britain, Ireland, Spain, and Germany—say they carried out their direct action “to dismantle the tools used to commit genocide in Gaza” and to call attention to Germany’s complicity with it.

No one was injured in the action, which allegedly caused €1.04 million in damages, and the protesters remained at the scene to be arrested. Even so, German prosecutors have clearly decided to treat the Ulm 5 with unusual severity, charging them with membership in a criminal organization, Palestine Action Germany, in addition to trespassing and criminal damage. An additional charge concerns the use of “symbols of an unconstitutional or terrorist organisation”—referring to Hamas—based on the defendants’ use of slogans including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”...

Speaker Johnson Cancels Thursday House Session, Pushing Hegseth Impeachment Vote Until After Midterms

from AntiWar

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced he has canceled a planned House session for Thursday, sending lawmakers for an early seven-week recess and pushing back a vote to impeach US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth until after the midterm elections.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who introduced the resolution to impeach Hegseth, suspected Johnson might take drastic measures to avoid the vote, so he didn’t inform GOP leadership of his plan to introduce the resolution, which he did on the House floor on Tuesday.

“And there it is. Just as I predicted. They’re canceling Congress tomorrow to avoid the vote on IMPEACHING [Hegseth]. It will also make it harder for us to reach 218 signatures on the Epstein Discharge Petition before the election. We were at 190+ signatures last night,” Massie wrote on X after Johnson canceled the votes...

Türkiye proposes deal to end Black Sea attacks

from Daily Sabah

A Turkish diplomat announced that Ankara sent a proposal to Russia and Ukraine that would end attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea. The move follows a sharp increase in attacks on commercial ships in the Black Sea in recent months, often using drones.

At least 25 Turkish-owned vessels, four of them flying a Turkish flag, have been hit since late June, industry figures show.

"We have shared a text of a memorandum, a draft text, with the Russians and the Ukrainians to come up with a solution to those strikes taking place in the Black Sea," the diplomat told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Thursday.

Türkiye has been pushing Russia and Ukraine to suspend attacks on civilian vessels, with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan demanding a "moratorium" on Aug. 8 in a call that appeared to have fallen on deaf ears. The attacks have intensified as the foes seek to damage the other's export revenues, with the war now raging into a fifth year...

UN mission finds grounds to probe US war crimes in Iran

(A triple-tap on a school full of little kids and the murder of a beloved religious leader? Uh... duh. Yeah, thanks for the 'news') 

(I guess now Kegsbreath will triple-tap the UN building in Manhattan. That'll teach them dreaded Marxists!) 

from al Mayadeen English

Indiscriminate attacks that caused loss of life, civilian injuries, and damage to civilian infrastructure in Iran may amount to a war crime, with the Fact-finding Mission for Iran (FFMI) saying it had reasonable grounds to believe the United States was responsible following the US and Israeli aggression on February 28.

In a report set to be presented to the Human Rights Council, the mission said the US aggression involved Tomahawk missile strikes on the clearly identifiable Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, killing more than 150 people, including around 120 girls and boys.

It also cited an airstrike in which missiles dispersed clouds of tungsten fragments over a sports complex and a clearly identifiable residential area in Lamerd, killing 22 civilians, including men and women...

No peace in Middle East without 2-state solution: UN-chief

from Middle East Monitor

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday that lasting peace in the Middle East is impossible without a two-state solution for the Palestinians.

"In the context of upheaval across the Middle East, we must never forget the dramatic suffering of the Palestinian people -- both in Gaza and the West Bank," he said at a news conference ahead of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly.

"The peace plan for Gaza must be fully implemented with unrestricted humanitarian aid," he said.

Turning to the occupied West Bank, Guterres said: “And the creeping annexation of the West Bank must stop.”

He stressed that a political resolution remains the only path forward. "There will be no peace in the Middle East without realizing the two-state solution," he said.

Responding to a question on a letter by Palestine's UN Envoy Riyad Mansour detailing Israeli officials' statements on "ethnic cleansing and forced expulsion," and whether Palestinians still see a real path to the two-state solution, Guterres said: “We are extremely worried with the situation that is taking place.”

Welcoming the efforts of High Representative for Gaza at the Board of Peace Nickolay Mladenov "to advance the two stages of the peace plan," Guterres said: “It is clear that Israel is not accepting the implementation of the peace plan as it is conceived now.”

Guterres also pointed to the continued Israeli airstrikes on Gaza "having serious threats to the civilian population," saying: "There is a creeping annexation with violence by the settlers, sometimes with the support of security forces" in the occupied West Bank.

He described the situation in the West Bank as "absolutely intolerable."

Ed Sheeran tour hit by walkouts over Macklemore's removal over Gaza stance

from Daily Sabah

Ed Sheeran's North and South American tour was thrown into turmoil Tuesday as four opening acts pulled out in solidarity with rapper Macklemore after he was dropped over pro-Palestinian remarks made onstage.

Hours after Sheeran posted on social media about Macklemore's ouster and attributed the decision to the tour's promoters, Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, the Danish band Lukas Graham, and Finneas posted on Instagram that they were leaving the tour.

Rowe and Lukas Graham would have been replacements for Macklemore on Sheeran’s remaining U.S. dates, while Beoga had been performing several songs - including some the Irish folk band co-wrote - with Sheeran around the middle of each set. Finneas, who is Billie Eilish’s brother and musical collaborator, was due to tour with Sheeran in South America later this year.

"Artists must not be silenced when they speak up for the oppressed,” Finneas said on Instagram. "I have decided to withdraw from my upcoming tour dates with Ed Sheeran. I stand with Palestine and its people.”...
