How to talk to idiocrats, part 1. “He’s a tough guy, why doesn’t he do that? He knows where to find me,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Sunday, addressing Trump’s cartoon-villain border czar Tom Homan’s threat to arrest him. Newsom also spoke directly to Trump: “This is a serious moment, and it requires serious leadership, and it’s time for you to be a commander in chief of the United States of America, and I will have your back if you want to work in a relationship of trust and truth in the spirit of our founding fathers, but you come after poor kids. You come after families. We will do everything in our power to stand up and stand in your way … Where’s your decency, Mr. President? Stop. Rescind this order,” Newsom said. “It’s illegal and unconstitutional … It’s immoral. You’re creating the conditions that you claim you’re solving, and you’re not, and you’re putting real people’s lives at risk.” Newsom also announced plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment.

How to talk to idiocrats, part 2. In an editorial on June 8, 2025, titled “Intimidation won’t make the Sentinel back down on Hope Florida story,” the Orlando Sentinel editorial board snapped back against Florida’s fascist governor, Ron DeSantis: “[We] received an unsigned letter from the Florida Department of Children and Families on Friday at 2:0 p.m. It was also posted on social media minutes later and reposted by Gov. Ron DeSantis on his X account. It demanded that Orlando Sentinel and reporter Jeffrey Schweers “cease and desist” reporting for a story about funding flowing through Hope Florida, the nonprofit spearheaded by the governor’s wife, Casey. This attempt to bully our newsroom away from a story is clearly intended to be chilling, but it won’t impact our reporting.

Today’s quotable idiocrat. GOP Representative Mary Miller — who once said that Adolf Hitler was “right about one thing” — wrongly identified a Sikh man as Muslim in a racist X post regarding who was allowed to lead prayer in the US House of Representatives. “It’s deeply troubling that a Muslim was allowed to lead prayer in the House of Representatives this morning. This should have never been allowed to happen,” she wrote on X over a picture of Giani Singh, a Sikh Granthi from southern New Jersey who was welcomed to give the prayer by Republican Representative Jeff Van Drew. “America was founded as a Christian nation, and I believe our government should reflect that truth, not drift further from it. May God have mercy,” she concluded.

“I often say that I serve in Congress with some of the greatest minds of the 18th century. With Rep. Miller I may need to take it back a few more centuries,” Democratic Representative Jared Huffman stated.

Idiocrats hate science. So scientists are leaving the idiocracy. Says Axios: “The great poaching: America’s brain drain begins.”

Magic 8 Ball says: “Yes, definitely.” To the question asked in a headline at Australia ABC: “Is Trump the antichrist? — and other hard questions Christians should be asking.”
