The POSOTUS set a new low with his SOTU performance last night. Other than writing this, I'm at a loss for words.

[Candace Owens' Erika Kirk Documentary Sparks Backlash]

There are so many clowns in the Republicult's™ Clown Car, I've never paid any attention to this particular one:

Candace Owens' Erika Kirk Documentary Sparks Backlash

But, as per this article:

"In September, The Guardian reported Owens published podcasts titled: "Charlie Kirk Suspect Charged. Something Isn't Right...", "Who Ordered the Hit on Charlie Kirk?" and "They Are Lying About Charlie Kirk."

In this month, she also alleged that billionaire hedge-fund manager Bill Ackman—a vocal supporter of Israel—had staged an "intervention" in the Hamptons weeks prior, pressuring Kirk to "get in line" with unwavering support for Israel during which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called him.
 
She said that Kirk was offered "a ton of money" to stick to a pro-Israel stance because he had been "falling out of love with Israel" and was "on the brink of changing some of his perspectives" about the Gaza war.

Newsweek was unable to verify these allegations."

Now, this is the first I've heard of War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu being linked to the assassination of Saint Charlie of the Mass School Shootings. And, I was first tempted to post this conspiracy down on the High Weirdness Sub-board. But, as this is coming from the MSM, I'm going to put it right here.

And here I thought the State of the Union Address was going to be my entertainment today.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, there will be no St. Tib's Day next Monday.

[Can Trump still impose tariffs after the Supreme Court ruling?]

The topic of this article affects all of us. And, of course, we'll get to see how this plays out in the coming weeks. However, that's not the main reason I posted this article here:

Can Trump still impose tariffs after the Supreme Court ruling?

"The case is the first major challenge to Trump's policy agenda, but the US president still has other legal avenues to pursue trade restrictions."

As per this article:

"Trump criticised the ruling, arguing that presidents should have sweeping trade authority.

"I can destroy the trade, can destroy the country. I can do anything I want," he said."

Now, at this point in his second scandalous, treasonous term, I'm not at all surprised the POSOTUS publicly made this statement.

Still, I am surprised this has received so little coverage in the MSM, and minimal to no coverage at all in the Partisan Liberal Media (PLM). And so, we''ll see what happens later this Sunday, when the professional talking heads, and spin doctors put on their costumes and makeup, and grace us with their choreographed performances. But, I'm not optimistic we'll see any real pushback.

[Black Eyes Illuminati: Unveiling the Secrets Behind the Conspiracy]

This recent article appears to have been written by someone who is not a faculty member at St. Augustine's University:

Black Eyes Illuminati: Unveiling the Secrets Behind the Conspiracy

As per this article:

"At the heart of the Black Eyes Illuminati narrative lies a symbol repeatedly described as an almond-shaped emblem tinged with shifting red and black hues—often interpreted as a representation of dual perception: seeing beyond illusion and into hidden truths. While mainstream historians assure these motifs appear in symbolic art and secret societies broadly, proponents of the conspiracy claim this imagery marks a formal, hierarchical grouping operating beyond public scrutiny—a brotherhood cloaked in ritual and exclusivity. According to insider narratives circulating in esoteric circles, the group's cohesion rests on oaths sworn in darkness, loyalty tested through secrecy, and a strict ascending structure designed to preserve ancient knowledge."

And, further along in this article:

"- Fact-checking challenges: No verifiable membership or agenda, fueling both scholarly scrutiny and public fascination. The Black Eyes Illuminati remains less a proven secret order than a compelling narrative thread woven through conspiracy culture. Whether myth, metaphor, or shadow network, its story reveals far more about human perception, systemic distrust, and the enduring allure of hidden truths—proving that sometimes, the most potent conspiracies are those we choose to believe."

Now, this is the first I've heard of "The Black Eyes Illuminati." Apparently, I didn't get the memo from "The Ancient Illuminated Seers of Bavaria (A.I.S.B.) - the World's Oldest and Most Successful Conspiracy." So, they've got some 'splainin' to do, the next time they come around looking for their "percentage."

So, this thread has gone from the U.S. of A. no longer invading Greenland, to the U.S. of A. possibly invading Canada. And, this thread isn't even located on the High Weirdness Sub-board.

Well ... pardon the interruption. I'm off to the supermarket for more popcorn. Carry on.

Back in the day on PD, we had a saying about thread drift.

Did that saying end with "Mission Accomplished."?

[7 key things to know about Trump's tariffs after the Supreme Court decision]

The POSOTUS has a lot to whine about this morning:

7 key things to know about Trump's tariffs after the Supreme Court decision

As per this article:

"The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump overstepped his authority when he ordered tariffs on imports from nearly every country in the world, using a 1970s "emergency" statute."

So, on to his 'Backup Plan.'

In this Season of Chaos, 'tis the time of the first Flux Holyday of the Year of Our Lady of Discord 3192. And, once again, that ol' Hodge and Podge, Eristic and Aneristic, Yin and Yang, Dark and Light, Dry and Moist, Rim and Ram, Jim and Jam, etc. thing is beginning to happen.

So, as this season slowly winds down, chill out for the day, and use it to prepare yourselves for what is likely to be a memorable, historic Season of Discord.

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

WARNING: ARTICLE CONTAINS PHOTOS YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO UNSEE!

Here's a man wise enough to have learned from the mistakes of other contractors who have worked for the POSOTUS, and his Republicult™ worshipers:

'It's not leaving until they pay me': sculptor holds Trump statue hostage

"Alan Cottrill created an 18ft bronze capturing the moment the president survived an assassination attempt. He says his patrons aren't paying up"

As per this article:

"In a foundry in the hills of Ohio lies a colossal bronze statue of President Trump that was recently coated in gold on the orders of a consortium of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.

It is a work of art by the sculptor Alan Cottrill showing Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, standing and punching the air moments after he survived a would-be-assassin's bullet.

It is also a hostage.

"They said: 'Oh don't worry Alan, we'll pay you, we'll pay you,'" Cottrill said of his patrons, a group of 16 cryptocurrency enthusiasts who commissioned the statue to honour President Trump.

But just as Michelangelo sometimes found himself funding the redecoration of the Sistine Chapel, Cottrill feels he has been carrying the cost of an enormous sculpture of Trump."

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

[Barack Obama Says Aliens 'Are Real', but Not in Area 51]

Well, if this doesn't get the UFO believers' hearts pumping, nothing will:

Barack Obama Says Aliens 'Are Real', but Not in Area 51

As per this article:

"The exchange occurred during a "lightning round" portion of Cohen's interview, where the journalist prefaced his question by noting the rare opportunity to speak with a president of the United States. Cohen asked directly: "Are aliens real?"

Obama's response was immediate and unequivocal: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it—"

Cohen interjected: "Area 51?"

"Area 51," Obama confirmed. "There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous CONSPIRACY (Emphasis mine), and they hid it from the president of the United States."

Cohen then asked what the first question Obama wanted answered when he became president. Without hesitation, Obama replied: "Where are the aliens?"

The exchange ended with laughter from both men as Cohen repeated, "Where are the aliens?"

And, never let it be said that Former President Barack Hussein Obama doesn't have a sense of humor.

[February 14, 1929 - 'Merican Organized Crime Committed the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre]

February 14, 1929 - 'Merican Organized Crime Committed the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre

Seven members and associates of Chicago's North Side Gang were murdered in a garage, with 'Merica's iconic Thompson submachine guns, and a shotgun.

The murders have been widely attributed to the Chicago Outfit, headed by Al Capone. However, although several investigations took place, and suspects were arrested, no one was ever charged, or convicted for committing this brazen, high profile, criminal act.

Happy Valentine's Day.

[Only Republican Disqualified From Senate Race in Democrat-Led State]

I've never see, or heard of anything like this every happening in any state:

Only Republican Disqualified From Senate Race in Democrat-Led State

As per this article:

"New Mexico will have no Republican on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race after GOP candidate Christopher Vanden Heuvel was disqualified for failing to submit enough valid signatures to qualify, New Mexico's secretary of state press team told Newsweek."

And, as per further along in this article:

""I am writing to inform you that you did not qualify as a candidate for the office of United States Senator, pursuant to the express requirements of the New Mexico Election Code," a letter obtained by Newsweek signed by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver sent to Heuvel.

The letter continued, "To qualify as a candidate for this office, a prospective candidate must submit a declaration of candidacy and the statutory minimum number of nominating petition signatures at the time of filing."

Oliver said that after review, the office determined that he "failed to reach the required 2,351 signatures in accordance with NMSA 1978, § 1-8-33.""

Now, perhaps requirements like this vary widely from state to state. But, requiring only 2,351 signatures to get a candidate for the U.S. Senate on a political party's ballot for their primary election sounds to me like a really low bar to jump. (Although in my state it's only 2,000 signatures, a $200 filing fee, and signatories must be members of the candidates political party.) Yet, the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM), couldn't qualify a single candidate. Not one.

[A century of hair shows how lead exposure collapsed]

A century of hair shows how lead exposure collapsed

"A century of human hair shows just how dramatically lead exposure fell after leaded gas was banned."

As per this article:

"Before the Environmental Protection Agency was formed in 1970, lead pollution was a routine part of daily life across the United States. It came from factories, lead-based paint, drinking water pipes, and most of all from vehicle exhaust. Lead is a toxic metal that builds up in the body over time and has been linked to learning and developmental problems in children. As environmental rules tightened in the decades that followed, lead in the environment dropped sharply, and human exposure declined with it."

And, here's the link to the original paper the above article is based upon:

Lead in archived hair documents a decline in lead exposure to humans since the establishment of the US Environmental Protection Agency

Getting lead additives out of gasoline was a major undertaking by the EPA, back in the day. And, I'm not 100% certain the current administration would have the will, yet alone the interest, in doing so today, if the problem were only recently identified. Anyway, in my state, the lead pollution from a single Exide Technologies lead-acid battery manufacturing plant in Laureldale/Reading, PA is so extensive that it has still not been completely remediated, even though cleanup work first started in 1988.

Last, the above article reminded me of what some historians believe excessive lead exposure did to the Roman Empire a couple of millennia ago. Here's a link to a summary of that theory, if anyone's interested:
