The idiot savant is at his best when he’s demagoguing racial and cultural issues that keep his supporters from noticing how he’s screwing them in every possible way. Who needs a SS check so long as DEI is being abolished at the Smithsonian?

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread

At some point, Israeli intelligence will tire of having their secrets and assets exposed by these bumblefucks. The “girlfriend” referred to in the chat, reportedly is an Israeli spy the Houthis now know about: https://www.timesofisrael.com/wsj-israel-provided-intel-for-us-strike-on-houthi-official-mentioned-in-signal-chat/ Information on US airstrikes leaked by senior US officials in a group chat that accidentally included a journalist was reportedly based on Israeli intelligence drawn from a human source in Yemen, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The report, citing two US officials, said that Israel provided intelligence from an individual in Yemen about a senior Houthi figure who was targeted in the March 15 US airstrike discussed in the group chat on the Signal messaging app. The Atlantic published a number of the messages sent in the conversation, including one from Waltz writing on March 15 that “the first target – their top missile guy – we had positive ID of him walking into his girlfriend’s building and it’s now collapsed.” According to the newspaper, Israeli intelligence assisted the US in identifying and eliminating the suspect in question. A US official quoted by the WSJ said that Israeli officials have privately complained to their US counterparts over the security breach and the now-public nature of Waltz’s messages.- 1166 replies

Tracking Trump Administration and Cabinet picks

It’s getting darker by the minute: https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2025/03/27/three-prominent-yale-professors-depart-for-canadian-university-citing-trump-fears/ Three prominent critics of President Donald Trump are leaving Yale’s faculty — and the United States — amid attacks on higher education to take up positions at the University of Toronto in fall 2025. Philosophy professor Jason Stanley announced this week that he will leave Yale, while history professors Timothy Snyder and Marci Shore, who are married, decided to leave around the November elections. The three professors will work at Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Stanley wrote to the Daily Nous that his decision to leave was “entirely because of the political climate in the United States.” On Wednesday, he told the Guardian that he chose to move after seeing how Columbia University handled political attacks from Trump. After the Trump administration threatened to deport two student protesters at Columbia and revoked $400 million in research funding from the school, Columbia agreed on Friday to concede to a series of demands from the Trump administration that included overhauling its protest policies and imposing external oversight on the school’s Middle Eastern studies department. “When I saw Columbia completely capitulate, and I saw this vocabulary of, well, we’re going to work behind the scenes because we’re not going to get targeted — that whole way of thinking presupposes that some universities will get targeted, and you don’t want to be one of those universities, and that’s just a losing strategy,” Stanley told the Guardian. “I just became very worried because I didn’t see a strong enough reaction in other universities to side with Columbia,” he added. Yale has not released a statement addressing the revocation of Columbia’s funding. Yale College Dean Pericles Lewis has told the News that he does not anticipate any changes in Yale’s free expression and protest policies. University President Maurie McInnis previously said that she is prioritizing lobbying for Yale’s interests in Washington over issuing public pronouncements

Shoot, if you’re violent enough, you could get lucky: https://www.axios.com/2025/03/26/trump-jan-6-rioters-compensation-fund-discussions President Trump suggested Tuesday night the Jan. 6 rioters he pardonedcould get compensation payments. The big picture: Newsmax's Greg Kelly asked Trump during their interview whether there would be a "compensation fund" for the roughly 1,500 defendants he issued a sweeping pardon for and the president confirmed "there's talk about that." The deadly Jan. 6, 2021 attack caused an estimated $1.5 million in damage at the U.S. Capitol and about 140 police officers were injured.

Texas has f’d around and is now about to find out: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/health/trump-state-health-grants-cuts.html The Department of Health and Human Services has abruptly canceled more than $12 billion in federal grants to states that were being used for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment and other urgent health issues. The cuts are likely to further hamstring state health departments, which are already underfunded and struggling with competing demands from chronic diseases, resurgent infections like syphilis and emerging threats like bird flu. No additional activities can be conducted, and no additional costs may be incurred, as it relates to these funds,” the notices said. For some, the effect was immediate. In Lubbock, Texas, public health officials have received orders to stop work supported by three grants that helped fund the response to the widening measles outbreak there, according to Katherine Wells, the city’s director of public health. But not to worry. Sec’y Kennedy is on top of it: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/health/measles-kennedy-vitamin-a.html Doctors in West Texas are seeing measles patients whose illnesses have been complicated by an alternative therapy endorsed by vaccine skeptics including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary. Parents in Gaines County, Texas, the center of a raging measles outbreak, have increasingly turned to supplements and unproven treatments to protect their children, many of whom are unvaccinated, against the virus. One of those supplements is cod liver oil containing vitamin A, which Mr. Kennedy has promoted as a near miraculous cure for measles. Physicians at Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, say they’ve now treated a handful of unvaccinated children who were given so much vitamin A that they had signs of liver damage. Some of them had received unsafe doses of cod liver oil and other vitamin A supplements for several weeks in an attempt to prevent a measles infection, said Dr. Summer Davies, who cares for acutely ill children at the hospital.

They’re re-engineering the meaning of words to facilitate their long game. It is now a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to consider discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Interested parties are being encouraged to consider if promotions given to traditionally protected classes were tainted by DEI bias, and to seek redress if they suspect such bias: EEOC Guidance on DEI-Related Discrimination: The EEOC, in collaboration with the Department of Justice, has issued guidance clarifying that employment actions motivated by an employee's race, sex, or other protected characteristic, even if part of a DEI program, can be unlawful discrimination. What to Do If You Experience Discrimination Related to DEI at Work: This joint guidance document, issued by the EEOC and DOJ, provides information on how to file a complaint and outlines examples of how DEI policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if motivated by protected characteristics.

I attended an “In Conversation” event last Friday evening that featured Jasmine Crockett. She talked at length about her bleached blonde comment that went viral and how she chooses her words with forethought. Jasmine said he tries to always to follow the rules even as she pushes boundaries. She had her explanation for her hot wheels comment already prepared before she made it. Since congresspersons can no longer call Trump a felon on the floor, Jasmine says she has had to be inventive. She now routinely asks if Trump’s nominees have “34 felonies.” The event I attended was to give Jasmine’s supporters insight to her as person. I left more impressed with her grit, smarts and the fact that she doesn’t take herself too seriously.

This latest screw up is the most karmic thing ever. After all of Trump’s and Elon’s misrepresentation DEI and boasting about his “meritocracy presidency”, the toxic admixture of his cabinet’s hubris and incompetence has been put on full display for the whole world to see. Pete Hegseth is worse than I imagined he could be. It would be funny were it not so serious. -

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
Satchel replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Listening to the recorded conversation, I heard two white intellectuals seriously babbling over the erosion of white male dominance. Rigney is using the motif of empathy to attack what he sees as the onslaught of so called liberal agendas. Their collective philosophical language and academic citations are intended to justify the rhetoric or moral abstinence in the face of personal and/or public good. It would be to our disadvantage to engage them in conversation as if they perceive us to be their equals. Because it’s important not to allow the repugnant doctrines to take hold in sacred spaces, we have to be equals on our own ground when reacting to ideological gibberish intended to serve as a cover for the Trump agenda. -

Now that Trump and his devotees have dropped any pretense of not being racist, and are having success in re-engineering the actual meaning of words, ( see diversity, equity, inclusion, woke…) the religious right has entered the fray.

These people are monsters: https://www.yahoo.com/news/dhs-sec-noem-says-move-193625920.html US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told a Cabinet meeting Monday that the department would move to “eliminate” the government’s disaster relief agency, days after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing state and local governments to “play a more active and significant role” in responding to such catastrophes. Noem, whose department oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has previously vowed to “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today”; Trump has said he would close the agency entirely, but that would require an act of Congress.

We need to do something about these private equity bastards

Will anybody be able to stop Trump before he completely destroys what’s left of the country? Legal community shaken by a powerful law firm's decision to give in to Trump's demands WASHINGTON — On Thursday, the powerful law firm Paul Weiss caved. It agreed to give Donald Trump’s administration $40 million in free legal work for causes the president supports and, according to a social media post from Trump, get rid of any internal diversity, equity and inclusion policies. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/legal-community-shaken-powerful-law-firm-paul-weiss-trump-rcna197490 In response, Trump rescinded his executive order that targeted the firm and could have cost it significant business. The agreement shocked many in the legal community, and for Rachel Cohen, an associate at another large firm — , Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP — it was the final straw. On Thursday night, Cohen fired off an email to her firm that said she was giving her two-weeks’ notice, unless leaders there agreed to a number of conditions that would, in effect, stand up to the Trump administration — including by refusing to cooperate with the targeting of DEI programs. “This is not what I saw for my career or for my evening, but Paul Weiss’ decision to cave to the Trump administration on DEI, representation and staffing has forced my hand,” Cohen wrote in her firmwide email, which went viral on social media after she shared it publicly. “We do not have time. It is now or it is never, and if it is never, I will not continue to work here.” Representatives for Paul Weiss, Skadden and the White House did not immediately return requests for comment. -
