American birthright on the block. The Wilderness Society is warning that the Senate’s Reconciliation bill for Trump’s Big Ugly Budget boondoggle will make “250+ million acres of public lands eligible for sale. “It puts 16 million acres of public land in California up for sale.SFGAte reports that, “Those vulnerable parcels of land include areas adjacent to Yosemite National Park, Mount Shasta, Big Sur and Lake Tahoe.”

The bill is the brainchild of MAGA Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who made news over his cruel gaslighting attempt to recast the MAGA terrorist murderer in Minnesota as a liberal by tweeting, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”

Whisky Pete on the block? Trump is reportedly furious with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth for failing to deliver a North Korea-style military parade on the American Dear Leader’s birthday. The New Republic reports that he allegedly “reamed out” Hegseth over the spectacle — which was advertised as a celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary but conveniently fell on Trump’s birthday — as well as the soldiers who took part in it, according to biographer Michael Wolff.

Off with her head? According to The Independent: Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says” President reportedly angered by intelligence chief’s social media warning against “warmongers” placing the world “on the brink of nuclear annihilation.” Here’s more on Tulsi’s dire warning, in case you missed it.

Off with their masks. California lawmakers have introduced legislation to ban law enforcement officers, including Trump’s MAGA ICE goons, from wearing masks. The law would also require officers to wear identifying information. ABC News reports:

A pair of lawmakers in California are seeking to ban law enforcement officers in the state from wearing face coverings, amid protests in Los Angeles against the Trump administration’s immigration policies. State Sens. Scott Wiener and Jesse Arreguin — Democratic lawmakers from San Francisco and Oakland, respectively — announced Monday that they would be filing SB 627 to ban local, state and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. The legislation, dubbed the No Secret Police Act, would also require law enforcement officers to wear identifying information, Wiener wrote in a post on X. “Secret police behavior tanks trust & must end,” Wiener wrote.

His Royal Flatulence. Our draft-dodging President Cadet Bonespurs finally got the North Korea-style military parade he’d dreamed of, and the reviews are in. It was a snoozefest. But during the June 14 parade in Washington, D.C., cameras captured Trump in his presidential viewing box expressing signficant discomfort.This fueled speculation that he was either sleeping, on the verge of tears or suffering from digestive distress. He literally had gas face.

Cold civil war. While Trump was watching his sad parade, millions of pro-democracy Americans turned out for No Kings protests across the country to send him a message: “We don’t want your stinking fascism, so get your tiny hands off our democratic republic.” Now the babyman is striking back. According to The Daily Beast:

Donald Trump ordered ICE officers to prioritize deportations in Democrat-run cities in a wild Truth Social rant Sunday night. The president issued the unprecedented, politically motivated orders just hours after millions of protesters gathered in major American cities, calling for Trump’s megalomania to be curbed. Trump told ICE staff to “do all in their power” to detain and deport undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York.

Über alles. A boycott of Target stores by African-Americans as well as pro-democracy groups earlier this year depressed sales so drastically that CEO Brian Cornell took a 45 percent pay cut. Having learned nothing from this, in late May Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi came out in support of the reconciliation package MAGA senators are preparing in an effort to pass Trump’s Big Bad Budget bill into law. The Trump regime White House website quoted Khosrowshahi’s tweet in support of the bill:

We’ve said from the start: No Tax on Tips should include @Uber drivers & couriers. Grateful the new House Ways & Means bill does just that. Thanks to @POTUS and @RepJasonSmith for backing all tipped workers—no matter how they work. Let’s get this done!”

In the House version of the bill, no taxes would be applied to cash tips only. Uber drivers rarely get tips in cash. But it’s the rest of the bill that most people find concerning, particularly the drastic cuts to Medicaid or SNAP. According to the Daily Dot,”Fierce opposition to the bill from the left means that Khosrowshahi was bound to face boycott calls over his support. ‘BOYCOTT UBER!’ wrote X user @Suzierizzo1. ‘The Uber CEO tells Trump that he supports him and the Reconciliation Bill that will leave children, elderly, and Veterans to starve to death! Look what we did to Target, so now it’s Uber’s turn!’”

Trump goons just now arrested Sen. Alex Padilla, a Democrat and the senior US senator from California.

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.”
