[Trump can't stop MAGA from obsessing about the Epstein files]

I don't know how much significance to attach to this brouhaha:

Trump can't stop MAGA from obsessing about the Epstein files

"MAGA-friendly media has been torn on how to respond to a base wanting more on the Epstein files and a president who wants them to move on."

As per this article:

"Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters.
 
In a blistering post on Truth Social on Wednesday morning, Trump continued to push his backers to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein, an issue that has driven what appears to be one of the most significant rifts between him and the political movement he built.
 
"Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work," he wrote. "Don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore.""

Although this article does not mention it, some political sites have written that some of the sociopath-in-chief's shit-eating MAGAts have convinced themselves that it was the Democrats who had Epstein killed in prison, and it's their messiah who is trying to cover up their crime. Go figure.

I find it hard to believe this will cost any Republican politicians any votes in the 2026 elections. But, it's fun to watch the sociopath-in-chief squirm because he's suddenly lost control of the MSM narrative. I guess producing a reality TV show is not always as personally rewarding as it looks.

Possibly NSFW.

It's probably NSFW, but it's a good one, nevertheless.

Today is the 50th day of the Season of Confusion in the YOLD 3191, and time to celebrate Confuflux, the Season's Holiday.

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

It's kind of a shame that photographs of missing children aren't posted on milk cartons anymore. If they were, maybe someone might have found David Richardson, the acting director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), by now.

One would think that with over one hundred people known dead, and nearly two hundred people still missing after the flooding, a production like Turd Reich Reality TV would have wanted their boy's concerned face dominating the news cycle in the deep, deep, redneck state of Texas.

I don't know ... maybe he really took the sociopath-in-chief's directive to shut down FEMA to heart, and shut himself down. Still, I would have thought he might have, at least, turned off the lights, and locked the door to the building when he left. Or, he could have left a note, or something.

It appears there will be a special election held, around the beginning of November, to select a new U.S. representative for Tennessee's 7th congressional district. So, it will be interesting to see if the Democratic Party has learned anything about what it's going to take to win elections for national office in today's 'Merica.

Now, to be fair, this district has a Cook PVI of R+10. So, it's going to be difficult for any Democratic candidate to win this seat. And, I won't be surprised if the sociopath-in-chief himself make a personal, reality TV show appearance in Tennessee, where he dances to "Macho Man" for his adoring, redneck worshipers.

But, if Elmo the Oligarch is serious about his "American Party," this is his big chance to crash one of the sociopath-in-chief's parties. Now, I'm not at all optimist about Elmo actually funding a candidate for this special election. But, if he does, it might make this race a little more interesting.   

Anyway, in 2022 the Democratic Party ran a black woman for this seat. She won 38.14% of the vote. Then, in 2024 the Democratic Party ran a white woman, and she won 38.05% of the vote. So, it will be interesting to see if the Democratic Party runs yet another woman for this open seat in a redneck district. In my opinion, if the Democratic Party decides to repeat this pattern, they either don't know their constituency, or they believe it's more important for them to run a woman, rather than a viable, possibly competitive male candidate. Or, perhaps, they're just going through the motions.

As I've written before:

Joe Sixpack, Doubleclutch, Bubba, Razor Ramon, and most of the women who willingly socialize with them did not vote for Hillary Clinton, or Kamala Harris. And, they did not vote for them because those two candidates are both Democrats and, obviously, women. Now, I believe a portion of the Joe Sixpack, etc. subculture may sometimes be convinced to vote for a Democratic candidate, or a woman candidate, but not both at the same time.

Obscenely wealthy pedophiles, politically popular, genocidal war criminals, and powerful dictators who commit crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, and high volume war crimes, are all supported by the sociopath-in-chief. Because, 'Merica.

You can not make up stuff like this.

Today, in an extra-special episode of "Turd Reich Reality TV," a notorious, foreign war criminal endorsed the sociopath-in-chief for the Nobel Peace Prize.

I've come to realize I really am a captive member of an audience, and I'm being forced to watch a TV show I don't like, and don't want to watch, but I can't turn the nauseating thing off by myself.

As Elmo just announced he's forming his very own political party, it's obvious he's no longer the Unelected Shadow Co-president Elmo the Oligarch (USCEO). Now, he is, of course, still an oligarch. But, it looks like he was outbid for the attention of the sociopath-in-chief by Jeff Bezos, Peter Thiel, and who knows what other oligarchs.

I am, however, surprised that Elmo chose as bland a name as the "America Party" for his new investment. But, I'm guessing some marketing weasel told him that calling it the "X Party" wasn't going to make it marketable. And, while calling it the Scorned Oligarch Party (SOP) would have been truthful, that name is even less marketable.

Anyway, Elmo's new third party thingy could turn out to be interesting. Now, I don't see Elmo's party ever attracting more than a handful of discontented voters. After all, 'Mericans are far to apathetic, and tribal, for that to ever have any realistic chance of happening. But, I don't believe forming a real political party is Elmo's true objective. I suspect this is all just a cover story for an attempt to buy off a few members of the House of Representatives, and maybe even a senator, or two. I mean, seriously, are there any Republicult™ members of congress who aren't in it for the money? Any at all? And, Elmo still has plenty of money, even if he didn't want to pay the sociopath-in-chief's asking price for NASA.

I write this because gaining control of just a handful of Republicult™ members of congress would give Elmo all the leverage he needs to take over NASA, and to run the show in Washington, D.C. again.                     

Let the games continue!

The sociopath-in-chief has announced a reality TV event for 2026 where the UFC will perform on the White House lawn. You can not make up stuff like this.

This almost looks like how the Roman patricians used to provide "Bread and Circuses" to their plebeians to keep them under control. I write "almost" because it's my understanding that the plebeians got their "Bread and Circuses" for free. But, under the Turd Reich, the 'Merican version of the ol' Roman plebeians must pay for everything. And, it's the oligarchs, the 'Merican version of the Roman patricians, who get all of the free rides.

[Was Donald Trump Mocked by Dutch Royalty? What We Know]

I found this to be an amusing question:

Was Donald Trump Mocked by Dutch Royalty? What We Know

As per this article:

"President Donald Trump appeared to be subtly mocked by Dutch royalty during a NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday.

Trump was photographed alongside Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander at the Huis ten Bosch Palace shortly after arriving at the summit. Standing between the two royals, Trump flashed a thumbs-up and told photographers: "That's the picture we want!"

The King followed with a polite, "I hope you slept well," to which Trump replied, "It was great," smiling and thanking those present.

However, as the moment wrapped up, Queen Máxima appeared to mimic Trump's mouth movements before turning back to face the cameras."

So, now I have a question of my own:

Is Queen Máxima a member of the Resistance 2.0?

['Unfathomable to Me': Veteran Pentagon Reporter Shocked Trump Said He Okayed Iranian Attack On U.S. Air Base]

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm watching the daily episodes of an international reality TV show where 'Merica's sociopath-in-chief, Russia's Vladimir Putin, Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iran's Ali Khamenie, are the principle actors of the ensemble cast. And, the strangest thing about this reality TV show is that it appears Iran's Ali Khamenie has been scripted to be the sanest character.

I'm no longer wondering about watching the daily episodes of an international reality TV show. If this isn't definitive proof, I don't know what is:

'Unfathomable to Me': Veteran Pentagon Reporter Shocked Trump Said He Okayed Iranian Attack On U.S. Air Base

As per this article:

"Below is an exact transcript of what Trump said:

You saw that, where 14 missiles were shot at us the other day. And they were very nice. They gave us warning. They said, "We're going to shoot them."

"Is 1 o'clock OK? They said it's fine." And everybody was emptied off the base, so they couldn't get hurt, except for the gunners. They call them the gunners. And out of 14 high-end missiles that were shot at the base in Qatar, all 14, as you know, were shot down by our equipment. Amazing stuff, amazing what they can do."

9. The Main Stream Media (MSM) is not our friend. But, it's not our enemy either. The MSM is simply a powerful group of amoral corporations out to make a buck.

Always remember, "The MSM is only in it for the money." So, learn to deal with it accordingly. In the long run, it can only be influenced by what it believes effects its revenue.

Unfortunately, the Republicult™ will continue to harm the majority of America's people between now and the swearing-in of the 120th Congress. And, as the campaigns for the U.S. midterm elections are still a ways off, I hadn't been in any hurry to edit my "Hard Lessons to be Learned Before the Next Election Twelve-step Program." But, it's beginning to feel like it's time for me to get back to work.

Since I first wrote this particular line time, I've come to realize the MSM is by no means a neutral participant in our culture. In fact, I'm certain it would be a significant improvement if it actually were a mere neutral participant.

I'm probably going to renumber the order in which this line item appears. But, this is my first edit of the original:

9. The Main Stream Media (MSM) is not our friend. The MSM is a group of amoral corporations out to make a buck. Therefore, the MSM can be encouraged to promote the messages of the Resistance 2.0 by negatively affecting its revenue.

It occurred to me that The Next Billionaire's Big Bonus would be a much more descriptive, not to mention honest, name for the sociopath-in-chief's The One Big Beautiful Bill, that is currently being worked on in the U.S. Senate.

That is all. Carry on!

I'm beginning to wonder if I'm watching the daily episodes of an international reality TV show where 'Merica's sociopath-in-chief, Russia's Vladimir Putin, Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu, and Iran's Ali Khamenie, are the principle actors of the ensemble cast. And, the strangest thing about this reality TV show is that it appears Iran's Ali Khamenie has been scripted to be the sanest character.

I don't know what to make of this. If 'Merica is at war with Iran, and the world is on the verge of WWIII, I didn't see any evidence of it on Wall Street today.

A couple of hours after my previous post, I began seeing news on the internet about a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. That would have been sometime after 7:00 PM EDT. So, now I would really like to know when the Wall Street boys became aware of that news. 

I live in the same time zone as Wall Street, NY, NY. So, for me, and the Wall Street boys, the stock market normally opens at 9:30 AM EDT. And, at the time the markets opened on Monday morning, the commodities prices I recorded above had not changed significantly from those at the time of the market closures on Friday, June 20th, at 4:00 PM EDT. Now, considering what happened over the weekend, I found that to be puzzling. Then, later in the day, around 12:30 PM EDT, I noted that the commodity prices were actually falling. So, for me, it was "Curiouser and curiouser!"

Still later in the day, after the markets closed, I saw that the commodity prices had dropped significantly. But again, I had no idea why until several hours later. I discussed this with Mrs. Mythos over supper Monday evening, and she said she had seen something on the BBC's internet site about a possible ceasefire at around 2:30 PM EDT. But, she didn't attach much significance to their report, as she thought it sounded more like speculation than fact.

So, again, I would really like to know when the Wall Street boys became aware that a cease fire between Iran and Israel was probable enough for them to begin counting their chips, and placing their bets.
