OK! Magazine: ‘Moron’ Donald Trump Blasted for Announcing WWII Victory Day on Wrong Date and for Trying to Rename Veterans Day

The president was mocked on Thursday, May 1, after taking to Truth Social with a bizarre rant about World War II, as he called for Americans to celebrate the end of the war on May 8 — which marked the official surrender of all German military operations in 1945 — despite the United States’ battles continuing until September 2 of that year, when Japan officially surrendered.

“Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I,” Trump wrote via his social media platform, ignoring the fact that November 11 is Veterans Day — which honors those who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Alternet: ‘Taunt the judiciary’: Legal scholars slam ‘invalid’ MAGA lawsuit against John Roberts

On April 22, according to Talking Points Memo (TPM) reporter Josh Kovensky, the America First Legal Foundation filed a “little-known lawsuit” against U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts and the head of the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts — accusing the federal courts of undermining his presidential powers.

“The case ostensibly proceeds as a FOIA lawsuit, with the Trump-aligned group seeking access to judiciary records,” Kovensky explains. “But, in doing so, it asks the courts to cede massive power to the White House: the bodies that make court policy and manage the judiciary’s day-to-day operations should be considered independent agencies of the executive branch, the suit argues, giving the president, under the conservative legal movement’s theories, the power to appoint and dismiss people in key roles.”

Raw Story: Ted Cruz thrown under bus as GOP senator desperately courts Trump ahead of brutal primary

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) is fighting for his political life, according to new reporting from Axios.

The longtime Texas senator “is boasting a 99% voting record with President Trump in a new memo provided first to Axios,” said the report. This comes as Cornyn “and his firebrand primary challenger, state Attorney General Ken Paxton, are battling to win Trump’s coveted endorsement in what is quickly shaping up to be the most dramatic and expensive GOP primary of the cycle.”

“Cornyn’s team is using fellow Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) as a foil, tallying the votes to tout that Cruz has voted against Trump more often than Cornyn,” said the report. “Over Trump’s first term and so far in his second, Cornyn voted in line with Trump 99.2% of the time while Cruz voted with him 96.6% of the time, according to the data, which removed duplicative procedural votes.”

It’s a dog-eat-dog world! Let them devour one another!

MSNBC: Trump’s treasury secretary accidentally summed up the bitter truth about his tariffs

Amid his verbal squirming in Tuesday’s news conference, Bessent offered a perhaps unintended revelation. “President Trump is interested in the jobs of the future, not the jobs of the past,” the secretary said. “We don’t need to necessarily have a booming textile industry like where I grew up again, but we do want to have precision manufacturing and bring that back.”

But textiles and other low-cost goods that rely on cheap foreign labor are subject to Trump’s tariffs, which means higher prices for consumers even if Americans won’t ever make those products again. And while precision manufacturing is great, it tends to be much more automated, which requires a smaller number of highly skilled employees. That means Americans won’t be working in that kind of factory by the tens of millions. 

In other words, Bessent accidentally summed up the effects of Trump’s tariffs: we’ll pay higher prices, but get little in return. Even before we feel the worst of it, Americans already understand. They aren’t happy and, if a recession comes, Trump will really feel their wrath.

Daily Mail: ICE Barbie Kristi Noem [Bimbo #2] and Homeland Security advisor Corey Lewandowski’s cozy DC living arrangement revealed

‘Don’t forget DC is a small town and people talk. It is an open secret that they are together.

‘It has always been joked about that Navy Yard is a dorm for Hill Republicans and Trump staffers – now it’s even higher up, with married cabinet secretaries bunking their volunteer chiefs.

‘Keeping the Homeland “secure”, or at least pretending to, is now 24/7 I suppose.’

Mom-of-three Noem [Bimbo #2], 53, invited her kids and grandchildren to DC over the Easter weekend when she made international headlines for having her purse snatched as they ate at a burger bar.

Only days later, DailyMail.com spotted former Trump campaign manager Lewandowski walking back and forth between their two residences, set among artisan coffee shops, bars, and chic waterfront restaurants.

On one occasion the veteran lobbyist emerged from Noem’s [Bimbo #2] apartment complex in his trademark suit, necktie and US flag pin and climbed into an Uber.

The next evening Lewandowski walked out clutching a duffel bag, crossed the street where a Secret Service detail is parked up 24/7 and headed inside his own building.

Noem [Bimbo #2] was the Republican Governor of South Dakota and a rising MAGA star when DailyMail.com first disclosed details of their years-long, clandestine affair in September 2023.

Dad-of-four Lewandowski wouldn’t comment while Noem [Bimbo #2] – married to her insurance exec husband Bryon for the past 33 years – denied the fling.

A DailyMail.com source insisted this week, however: ‘There’s no question the relationship is ongoing.

‘They continue to travel together, they continue to socialize together. Very clearly, they’re still having an extra-marital relationship.’

Closer to the Edge: An Open Letter to Tom Homan

Dear Tom,

You probably won’t read this.

Men like you rarely look back at the wreckage they cause — unless it’s to count the bodies and brag about it on Fox News.

But just in case you stumble across it — maybe while Googling yourself between appearances at gun shows and MAGA fundraisers — let’s make a few things perfectly clear.

We know exactly who you are.

We know exactly what you did.

And we’re not letting you slither aroumd now that you’re back in power without dragging the full weight of your cruelty into the sunlight.

Over the next few weeks, Closer to the Edge will be publishing a trilogy of articles about you:

1. “Tom Homan: The Border Butcher Who Mistook Cruelty for a Career Path”

A surgical dissection of your rise from small-town cop to federal sadist.

Spoiler: We found nothing noble at the core — only ambition, obedience, and the hollow echo of a man who mistook breaking families for defending borders.

2. “The Cage Architect: Tom Homan Built an American Horror Story — And Then Bragged About It”

A full accounting of how you turned family separation into a bureaucratic meat grinder, leaving thousands of children traumatized, families destroyed, and the moral spine of this country bruised and bleeding.

You didn’t enforce the law, Tom. You vandalized it.

3. “Breaking the Cruelty Chain: How to End Tom Homan’s America Before It Ends Us”

An action guide for everyone who refuses to let you and your co-conspirators in cruelty — Miller, Noem, Trump — finish the job you started.

Because your legacy isn’t an inevitability.

It’s a warning label.

We are not neutral.

We are not polite.

We are not interested in “both sides” journalism when it comes to men who build cages and call them policy.

We are here to name youexpose you, and bury the myth of your “service” under the avalanche of truth you spent your career trying to outrun.

You will never again hide behind a badge.

You will never again camouflage your cruelty with a flag.

You are seen.

You are remembered.

And you are not getting away with it.

Not this time.

Sincerely,
The Editors and Writers and Staff at Closer to the Edge

P.S.
You built cages for children.
We’re building cages for your lies.
Let’s see who gets out first.

Raw Story: ‘Off the rails’: WSJ’s conservative editors tear down Trump’s ‘biggest overreach’

The Wall Street Journal’s conservative editorial board went after President Donald Trump for what they framed as an unconstitutional attempt “to run Harvard” University after the Ivy League school rejected his demands for a MAGA-inspired policy overhaul.

Trump’s funding freeze of $2.2 billion in retaliation for the university’s snub drew the ire of the Journal’s board, which scorched the action in a Tuesday opinion piece that detailed the “good reasons to oppose this unprecedented attempt by government to micromanage a private university.”

“The Administration runs off the legal rails by ordering Harvard to reduce ‘governance bloat, duplication, or decentralization.’ It also orders the school to review ‘all existing and prospective faculty . . . for plagiarism’ and ensure ‘viewpoint diversity’ in ‘each department, field, or teaching unit,’” according to the board.

“These reforms may be worth pursuing, but the government has no business requiring them….”

Raw Story: ‘Traitor!’ Vance joins enraged MAGA fans in lashing out at ‘petty’ GOP senator after snub

With their bully boys hard at work, it’s scarcely surprising that there are so few openly honest Republicans left in Congress. Freshly back from insulting Greenlanders, J.D. Dunce heads up an assault on one of their own:

Vice President JD Vance led a barrage of MAGA-inspired attacks against Sen. Mitch McConnell on Tuesday in a rare public rebuke of the former Republican leader over his refusal to support a key Pentagon nominee.

The war of words ignited shortly after McConnell found himself the lone Republican vote against Elbridge Colby, President Donald Trump’s selection to be the Defense Department’s top policy strategist.

“Make no mistake: America will not be made great again by those who are content to manage our decline,” McConnell said in a statement that was quickly circulated on social media.

US Mirror: Elon Musk ‘rattled’ as he’s brutally trolled during gaming livestream from his private jet

Elon Musk was told he ‘will die alone’ as the Tesla CEO was brutally mocked during a gaming livestream aboard his private jet before he suddenly quit after his character was repeatedly killed

Another one of Elon Musk’s attempts to prove that he is good at gaming spectacularly backfired on him as the Tesla CEO was ruthlessly trolled during a livestream from his private jet before suddenly quitting the game.

Musk went live on X on Saturday, showing himself playing Path of Exile 2 aboard his private jet in what he called an “airborne continuity test” of his satellite internet service Starlink. But shortly after the livestream started, the tech billionaire became inundated with messages from other players in the game’s chat as they brutally mocked him.

“You have no real friends and will die alone,” one message said. “You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages,” another player wrote.

“Elon how is it possible to look this dumb and ugly why is ur Tesla company falling apart,” one gamer commented. Another even pretended to be Ashley St Clair, the MAGA influencer who claimed in February that Musk had fathered her child.

“Elon. It’s me, Ashley St Claire. I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access just for this. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,” a message that popped up continuously read. “Anyone spamming the chat will get uhhh,” Musk said as he spotted the trolling and clicked an ignore button on some of the messages.

One player told the Space X founder that his estranged daughter, Vivian Wilson, “was right” in reference to her recent claims about Musk’s poor gaming skills. During a rare interview with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker last month, Vivian said her dad is “god awful” at gaming.

Awwwww … Poor F’Elon can dish it out but can’t take it.
