The World's First Trillionaire Mass Murderer? That's What the Stats Say.

One of the other hallmark traits of the right-wing MAGA movement's complete rejection of anything resembling morality, is their undying love for Elon Musk and his vast, obscene wealth.

The right-wing conservatives in this country who like to pompously profess their worship of a simple, poor carpenter from Nazareth sure do have a penchant for ignoring the core teachings of that carpenter and embracing and venerating the very kind of people whom the carpenter had warned them in their sacred scriptures were Hell-bound infidels.

Anyway, to make a long harangue short, Elmo is not one of the good guys.  In fact, he's a pretty fucking evil guy and now he's about to become a trillionaire evil guy and that does not bode well for the world.

"Elon Musk’s SpaceX IPO will probably make him the richest person to ever walk the planet. And while his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully.

This is not a serious person, but his abuse of the world is deadly serious. In the first months of President Donald Trump’s second term, the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) destroyed the US Agency for International Development, whose mission was a boon to public health around the globe. Musk called the lifesaving agency a “criminal organization” and blithely celebrated spending a weekend “feeding USAID into the wood chipper.” It was a good reference if you want everyone to think you’re the killer in Fargo. Mission accomplished, Elon.

In the months that followed, public health models would indicate Musk was a killer, at a far greater scale than any Coen brothers villain. A tracker co-created by Boston University professor Brooke Nichols projected over 780,000 deaths — mostly of children, many of infants — due to the Trump administration’s early-2025 USAID cuts, caused by malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, and more. These deaths were widely predicted from the beginning, a direct, known, and undeniable consequence of DOGE’s actions. We don’t know the precise number of deaths, but multiple experts working on identifying the scale of the tragedy have generally agreed it’s in the hundreds of thousands."

 

MuskRat joins Drumpf (with his Covid response) in the upper echelon of mass murdering sociopaths.

Is it surprising to anyone that Elmo's name also shows up prominently in the 'Epstein Files' and that he literally bought the White House for Drumpf in 2024?

Two evil, putrid, suspected pedos combining forces to hijack the American people's government and transform the land of the free and the home of the brave into the land of fascist assholery.

I don't begrudge Elmo's right or the right of any other wealth seeking person to become wealthy.  What I do fucking begrudge is when they use their wealth to deliberately take away wealth from those in need and purposefully harm others.  And that is exactly what MuskRat and the rest of these Tech-bro pricks like Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, etc. are doing with their wealth.

Elmo has a battalion of lawyers who have literally provided him with a tax-free, American lifestyle for himself and his businesses.  Allowing him to compound his wealth while he gives NOTHING back to the country that provided his South African immigrant ass the opportunity to amass that wealth to begin with is treason in my book, which of course makes MuskRat the perfect bedfellow for the January 6th traitor in the White House.

The Law Puts an End to Drumpf's Vandalism of the Kennedy Center

They say you can't put a price on true beauty.

I completely agree.  Seeing Drumpf's name ripped off the facade of the Kennedy Center and unceremoniously tossed in the trash where it belongs is absolutely priceless beauty:

 

Link:  WATCH: Workers finally tear Donald Trump's name off Kennedy Center - Raw Story

 

"Workers began tearing Donald Trump's name off the Kennedy Center Friday, carrying out a federal court order his own lawyers had scrambled overnight to block.

A federal judge ruled last month that the renaming was flatly illegal. 

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper said Trump's hand-picked board never had the authority to put the president's name on the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — because Congress created it and only Congress gets to rename it. The lawsuit was filed by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who sits on the center's board as an ex officio member.

"Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it," Cooper wrote in his ruling, giving the administration 14 days to strip Trump's name from the building."

 

I bet the old despot wannabe is beside himself with rage watching his execrable, fake family name being removed from the iconic Kennedy Center building.  God, I sure hope so.  Maybe it will be enough of a rage provoking incident that his Big Mac and KFC clotted arteries become overloaded and finally collapse, and the filthy old kiddie-diddler will finally leave us and the rest of the world in peace.

Donald Trump Will Never Outrun His 'Epstein Files' Crimes

Two new stories that shine a bright light on the ongoing cover-up of a cabal of wealthy elitists raping children and believing that they are going to get away with it.

 

Link:  Blanche hit with major Epstein accusation as he's accused of witness tampering - Raw Story

 

"“Todd Blanche's involvement with the Epstein case is disastrous. He actually went and met with Ghislaine Maxwell, took her out of a heavy security prison, gave her a sweetheart deal,” Lynch told CNN’s John Berman.

“She never agreed to cooperate. [Blanche] put her in a much more permissive environment [that] has given her extensive privileges. I believe that is witness tampering on his part – he interfered with the investigation! She is less likely to talk to us now since Todd Blanche got involved with this case.”"

  

That was the whole point of Drumpf dispatching 'The Wolf' to intervene and 'fix' things, so that Maxwell would be less likely to talk and share her horrifying secrets with the world.  

  

Link:  Donald Trump Launches ‘Massive’ Leak Hunt After Humiliating Revelations

 

"The Trump White House is on the hunt for the source of a leak after the details of sensitive conversations between senior administration officials were exposed in a new report.

On Wednesday, the New York Times published an excerpt from the forthcoming book Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump by its White House reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan.

In the excerpt, Haberman and Swan describe secret emergency meetings in the Situation Room between the president’s aides, without the knowledge of the president, in which they sought to contain the scandal that erupted as a result of the administration’s botched handling of the release of the Epstein files."

Sounds like JD Vance and Drumpf's inner circle knew he was implicated in child sex crimes in the Epstein files.  They fucking knew it.

And how did these supposedly responsible, Christian Republicans respond to this knowledge?  By holding a bunch of "secret" meetings to plot ways to deceive the American public about what they now knew to be true about the dirty old, kiddie-diddling mobster they work for. 

I'll let Hawk explain in more detail what the bombshell report in the New York Times is all about, and how JD Vance and Drumpf's inner circle were desperately trying to keep a lid on a whole lot of ugly truths from the 'Epstein Files' coming to public light, and the implications that cover-up effort portends:

 

 

The evidence is pointing more and more toward the sad reality that the American president is a pedophile, and he has many powerful, wealthy pedophile "friends." 

Seriously - where the fuck is QAnon when you really need them?

Marjorie Taylor Greene Labels Drumpf and His Elitist "Friends" Pedophile Cover-Up "Traitors"

Yikes!

Something tells me that Marjorie Taylor Greene has decided that she has no more fucks to give when it comes to Donald Trump and his 'Epstein Files' problem:

 

Link: Marjorie Taylor Greene stuns Kaitlan Collins with staggering claim about Trump - Raw Story

  

Former MAGA congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene shocked CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins with a strong claim about President Donald Trump.

Greene detailed how Trump called her a "traitor" because she urged the release of the Epstein files, but she turned the tables by saying Trump and "pedophiles and rapists of the elite class" are the real traitors.

"They should be considered traitors," Greene said. "They're traitors. The ones that refuse to release the Epstein files want to cover up for pedophiles and rapists, and all sorts of disgusting things in these files. Those are the traitors to the American people, and they should be ashamed of themselves."

"Are you saying that that applies to the president himself?" Collins asked Greene.

"I'm saying exactly that," Greene said. "He told me on the phone that his friends would get hurt, and that's why he's against releasing the Epstein files."

"It's pretty remarkable to hear you say that," Collins said. "You think the president is a traitor."

 

When Drumpf excommunicated Marge from the MAGA movement for having been one of only four Republicans to have voted in favor of releasing the 'Epstein Files,' DonOld's flying monkey MAGA supporters went straight after Marge, sending death threats to her and her family.

Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't going to take that lying down and slink away quietly into obscurity though.  'Obscurity' simply isn't a word in Marjorie Taylor Greene's dictionary. 

Anyway, the death threats from MAGA's goons were enough for Marge to see the light about Drumpf and his motives for wanting to get rid of her, in addition to his continuing to expend ever greater efforts to keep the Epstein Files from being released to the American public.

Now, before I say what needs to be said regarding Marge calling Trump and his friends pedophile traitors, I will preface that with the stated fact that I have long, long been a vocal critic of Marjorie Taylor Greene and I still think Greene is a right-wing extremist who has terrible ideas for the governance of this nation.

On this specific matter as it relates to Donald Trump, however and the subject of the child rape and child sex trafficking acts depicted in the 'Epstein Files,' Marge is absolutely right.  Drumpf is a traitor elitist who is clearly and overtly protecting a bunch of wealthy, child-raping pieces of shit from being held accountable for their crimes against children, and quite probably also protecting himself from being outed as one of those pedophiles.

I sincerely hope Marge continues to speak out, and speak out loudly about the cabal of pedo "traitors" who are currently occupying the American people's White House.

 

 

 

---TFG

Umm, Yeah, The POTUS Being Outed as a Pedo Could Certainly be a "Huge Problem"

Remember 'QAnon' folks?

Isn't it more than just a little bit interesting that now that the floodgates of the 'Epstein Files' have been opened and it is looking more and more likely that the actual cabal of pedophiles in our American midst is mostly comprised of wealthy, conservative Republicans and "friends" of Donald Trump, that our noisy QAnon friends are now silent as church mice?

I think it is interesting as shit.  But then, I'm a Gadfly, and that's just how we Gadflies roll.

Anyway... why am I not surprised to hear that JD Vance was also involved up to his furry eyelashes in efforts to make the 'Epstein Files' disappear?:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Link:  'Panicked' JD Vance rushed to cover-up Epstein files 'huge problem': bombshell report - Raw Story

 

"Vice President JD Vance convened an urgent Situation Room meeting to address a spiraling crisis after the Justice Department's memo denying the existence of an Epstein client list "backfired spectacularly," triggering a firestorm within the MAGA base and prompting the Wall Street Journal to prepare a damaging article about Trump's relationship with the disgraced financier.

That is according to a bombshell New York Times report based on an upcoming book by Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, who described Vance as appearing "panicked" as he told assembled senior officials: "This is a huge problem.""

 

How prescient of the American Vice President to recognize the reality that his boss being potentially outed as a child-raping pedophile might be a "huge problem," right?

Drumpf has already told us that were all of the 'Epstein Files' documents and evidence to be released to the public, many of his "friends" would get "hurt."

Btw - I have always found that exchange between Drumpf and Marge beyond creepy.  Seriously, what kind of person has so many pedophile friends that a major pedophile investigation pretty much wipes out your entire Rolodex of "friends" contacts?  I would guess that kind of person might also be a pedophile.

What Drumpf told Marge Greene was essentially that if the names of any of the individuals (his friends) who are revealed in the 'Epstein Files' to have raped kids are publicized, their reputations, businesses, finances, etc. would be "hurt" and we just can't have that.

That's who your boy DonOld is MAGA.  He is more concerned about protecting the business, professional, and whatever reputations of his pedophile "friends" from being harmed than he is about justice being adjudicated for children raped and sex trafficked by his best friend of two decades, Jeffrey Epstein.

Todd 'The Wolf' Blanche Prepares for White House 'Consigliere' Duty

Well of course Todd Blanche is "at the heart" of the 'Epstein Files' cover-up.

That is precisely why Donald Trump installed him into the position that he is in today.

Todd Blanche is Drumpf's Winston Wolfe.  He's the fixer, the cleaner if you will.

 

Link: Melanie Stansbury: Todd Blanche 'At the Heart' of Cover-Up

 

"Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) spoke to Capitol Hill reporters on Wednesday following sitting in on a closed-door Oversight Committee deposition of Bill Gates. Gates was called before Congress to testify about his ties to sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein in the ongoing House investigation into Epstein’s illicit activities, which Stansbury said will next look at Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.

“We are all glad to hear that Mr. Comer has had a change of heart in making sure that Todd Blanche is brought before this committee,” Stansbury began, referring to Oversight Chair James Comer’s (R-KY) statement hours earlier that he would like to see Blanche testify before the committee in July.

“We want to make clear that he must be brought before the committee under oath in a deposition that is recorded for the American people to see, and this is separate from his confirmation process. Todd Blanche is at the heart of the cover-up of this case, as was revealed especially in the New York Times’ explosive reporting today about situation room meetings that were held in which Todd Blanche, as the president’s personal attorney and deputy AG, was working with others, including the vice president, to help try to cover up this case,” she continued, referring to Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan’s deep dive article from earlier in the day."

When Pam 'Scam Blondi' Bondi failed to follow through on Drumpf's orders to deep-six the 'Epstein Files,' the very first person who he wasted no time in choosing for Bondi's replacement was his own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney, Todd Blanche.

Remember, it was Blanche who DonOld dispatched to have a private little conversation with the imprisoned accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell in a maximum security Florida prison where registered sex criminals are housed.  Incredibly, within days of that little tête-à-tête,  Maxwell is mysteriously transferred from her Florida maximum security prison to a country club correctional facility in the corrupt state of Texas where she is given work release time to go out in public and was gifted a puppy to keep with her in her jail cell - as companionship for whenever she's there presumably.

That was Todd Blanche's work there, folks.  At Drumpf's behest, he got a unanimously convicted, fairly sentenced child rapist and child sex-trafficker out of doing hard prison time and into a boutique Texas "prison" where she is allowed to leave her "prison" on "work" release, and has been granted special privileges not offered to other inmates at the facility.

Drumpf is going to install this fucking consigliere, mafioso guy of his, Blanche, who I may have mentioned is DonOld's own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney, to the highest law enforcement position in the country.

Let me repeat that because it damn well bears repeating.

Drumpf is going to appoint his own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney as the United States Attorney General.

First off --- ffs --- can anyone coherently fathom what would have happened if Barack Obama had ever attempted to install his own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney as the US Attorney General?  You just know that these Republicans and MAGA chuds would have had a mass, hysterical public meltdown and moved to impeach and remove him from office.

Oh, wait though!  Silly Gadfly.  What am I thinking?  That is a wholly flawed analogy for the simple reason that Barack Obama has never had the need to maintain a personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney on retainer, nor would he ever had been so manifestly corrupt and unethical to appoint his own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney to such a lofty cabinet position in our government, much less to the highest law enforcement position in the land.

I mean . . . the corruption is just so blatantly brazen and conspicuous with these clowns at this stage that it's not even fun to mock their corruption anymore.

Meanwhile, on another corrupt government appointment front: 

 

 

Drumpf wants to appoint one of his real-estate mortgage pals (Bill Pulte) to Director of National Intelligence.

He wants to appoint a MAGA plumber (Markwayne Mullin) as head of Homeland Security.

He wants to appoint  his own personal CRIMINAL DEFENSE attorney (Blanche) as United States Attorney General.

Where is the sanity in any of this?

How Many More Times Must Iran be "Completely Defeated" For it To Be True?

I commented in a recent post that it was classic Trump stupidity and arrogance that got the United States involved with Israel in Bibi Netanyahu's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure,' and that it would be the same stupidity and arrogance that would prolong the crisis for the U.S.  and damage America's standing in the world even further than the damage Drumpf has already inflicted upon it.

Case in point:

 

Link:  Trump drops ominous threat as Iran talks fail: 'Now they will have to pay the price!' - Raw Story

 

"President Donald Trump boasted that Iran has been "completely defeated" as the U.S. trades strikes with the Middle Eastern nation.

U.S. Central Command announced Tuesday evening that it had conducted "self-defense strikes" in response to the downing of an Army helicopter the previous day, which prompted Trump to threaten a response, and he rejected Iran's claims that the strikes had disputed the diplomatic process by violating the ceasefire.

"Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess," Trump posted Wednesday morning on Truth Social. "Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore – They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!""

  

Yeah, sure Jan.  "The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!!" 

Iran is so unmistakably dead that they shot a US Apache combat helicopter out of the sky over the Strait of Hormuz yesterday and seem to have no trouble matching Israel's missile bombardment strike for strike.

If that's the sign of a "DEAD!!!" bully, I'd sure hate to see what they consider to be a living bully.

The sad truth is that Iran has Drumpf's flabby, diapered ass hanging over a closed Strait of Hormuz barrel, and DonOld has very few options to choose from and the options that exist are all pretty awful options for America.

But this is what happens when you elect a fake "businessman" and failed reality TV "star" to the presidency and expect authentic, adult leadership.

Stupidity begets stupidity.  It's not a complicated formula.

American Cattle Ranchers Owe Thanks to Drumpf for Their Looming Screwworm Disaster

Please go read the AP article by all means, but just know that the very likely primary reason that despite all of the lame-ass finger pointing by Drumpf's toadies, this 'screwworm' problem was clearly exacerbated by DonOld Drumpf's reckless governing decisions.

 

Link:  What to know about the New World screwworm fly, now in US | AP News

 

"The New World screwworm fly is threatening the $113 billion U.S. cattle industry for the first time in more than half a century, as officials race to eradicate a deadly flesh-eating parasite not seen in Texas since 1966.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced two new cases Monday, including the first outside Texas in a dog from just across the state line in Lea County, New Mexico. A calf hundreds of miles away in La Salle County, Texas, brought the total reported cases to four.

Texas is home to $17 billion worth of cattle, making it the industry’s No. 1 state.

Screwworm flies were an annual warm-weather scourge for cattle ranchers from at least the 1930s through the 1960s, when the U.S. eradicated the pest by breeding sterile male flies and dropping swarms of them from planes to mate with wild females."

 

When I say this issue was 'exacerbated' by Drumpf's governing decisions, that is stated with the knowledge that Drumpf, in this his second term, has slashed funding for ag programs that were designated to help contain the spread of the screwworm.  

The orange buffoon also issued an EO (Executive Order) that permitted over 100,000 metric tons of beef to be imported from Argentina as a favor to his right-wing authoritarian butt buddy Javier Milie, even though it is known that Argentina has long been battling outbreaks of these cattle destroying worms for decades in their country.

Just as Measles had been declared eliminated in the US nearly three decades ago and is now making a raging comeback in the country, screwworm is also now making it's return appearance after having been eliminated in the US six decades ago, and all it took was 16 months of DonOld Drumpf's execrable presence in the White House to accomplish the feat.

Apparently it wasn't enough that more than 1.2 million Americans died on Drumpf's watch during Covid, most of them needlessly according to his own Covid 'czar.'

I honestly believe that the dirty old mobster is trying to kill more of us by putting that drug-addicted, road-kill munching freak RFK Jr. in charge of Health and Human Services, along with other compromised, unqualified apparatchiks in job roles that impact public health, and now with the unleashing of a previously defeated pestilence on our food supply chain with this screwworm control failure, the portfolio of evidence supporting the view that Drumpf is deliberately trying to harm this nation and people expands exponentially.

Stupidity Got America in to the Iran War. That Same Stupidity Will Prolong it.

Anyone else see the supreme irony in DonOld desperately trying to claw his way out of his and Bibi Netanyahu's 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure' to a position that would look at least as "favorably" as the deal that Obama had struck with the Iranians?

 

Link:  Trump Rages Over Iran Setbacks as Leaks Reveal His Seething Obama Envy | The New Republic

 

"After the House voted to direct Donald Trump to end the Iran war, he exploded in fury at the four Republicans who turned against him, terming them “grandstanders” who “should be ashamed of themselves.” 

This comes as The New York Times reports that extensive internal war games among military officials established that Iran would react to an attack by closing the Strait of Hormuz—which Trump ignored.

And incredibly, officials just leaked to The Atlantic that Trump is privately “irritated” by commentary casting his emerging framework as weaker than Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal. Trump also wants a way to argue that Iran “accepted terms from him that Obama never managed to extract.” We talked to former National Security Council veteran Emily Horne, author of the Spin Class Substack. We discuss how all those leaks themselves signal Trump’s growing weakness, why his demand for a “better” deal than Obama’s may be hopeless, and whether that leaves us any way out of this fiasco."

 

There was good reason that all previous American presidents, Republican and Democrat, steadfastly refused Israel's invitation to the 'Big Iran Armageddon Adventure.'

But then Dumbass DonOld came along. 

And now, because DonOld is an incompetent, buffoonish, corrupted, and arrogant dumbass who ignored the advice of America's own military and intel experts against joining Israel's war, here we are, on the precipice of a worldwide economic recession and energy shortage, and it was all predicted by wiser, more thoughtful people, the very kind of people and public servants who Drumpf and Hegseth routinely purge from this administration and military.

I have every reason to believe that the Iran's leaders have no intention of giving DonOld the satisfaction of announcing a 'deal' that was on par with Obama's JCPOA deal with the Iranian regime.  Why would they?  Contrary to DonOld's oafish boasting, the Iranians hold all the worldwide economic cards right now, and they essentially have Drumpf's flabby, diapered ass over a barrel.

Drumpf Ordering the Demolition of the Statue of Liberty Would be Putin's Crowning Achievement

And you know what?  I honestly believe that the dirty old mobster would have no reservations whatsoever in issuing an edict to demolish the Statue of Liberty, likely as one of the last vengeful acts of a dying, soulless despot wannabe, hell-bent on taking his anger and revenge out on a people, a nation, and democracy that he has despised for a very long time.

Sadly, there's a lot of similarly insane shit that Drumpf and his morally corrupted MAGA minions would like to perpetrate (see 'Project 2025') against our society that would destroy this country from within, anti-American and anti-democracy shit that all Americans should be knowledgeable about.

Anyway... digression.

 

 

Link:  Trump could also tear down the Statue of Liberty, DOJ argues in defense of White House ballroom - POLITICO 

"A federal appeals court panel expressed skepticism Friday about the Trump administration’s view that courts are powerless to stop the construction of the White House ballroom now that the East Wing had been demolished.

Two members of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit repeatedly pressed administration lawyers about its argument that President Donald Trump’s pet project — now well underway — could not be stopped by the courts even if it was found to be illegal, because it was too far along and involved significant national security interests."

 

I have to admit that is some ballsy, dictator wannabe favoring bullshit right there folks.

It is totally unsurprising that Drumpf seems to have found the only "lawyers" in the country willing to state on the public record that Drumpf has such privileged, sacrosanct powers that he can order the instant destruction of United States historical monuments (see White House East Wing), and that he installed these "lawyers" in his now  hopelessly corrupted Department of Justice.

What these Drumpf toadie DOJ "lawyers" are essentially claiming is that because Drumpf violated the law with his order to bulldoze and demolish the historic East Wing of the American people's White House with absolutely no input from the American people or their representatives in Congress, and zero review by appropriate governmental agencies, he now possesses extended immunity from the law because his illegal ballroom project, which he had no legal basis for beginning construction on to begin with, is simply too far along in construction.

Lol.  The fucking gall of these assholes.

They are trying to put Drumpf above the law and grant him kingly executive powers.  They want to make Drumpf untouchable by our legal system just as they are trying to do in giving him, his dirty family, and their dirty associates blanket immunity from investigation and prosecution of their future financial crimes.

What these DOJ "lawyers" are saying with this audacious claim about Drumpf's executive power is nothing but their own cowardly way of placating the expiring gangster's torpid intellectual whims and doomed ambition to be America's first dictator.
