‘Ridiculous’: Rand Paul Claps Back at Team Trump and Doubles Down on Criticism of ‘Disaster’ Tariffs

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) clapped back at senior Trump advisor Peter Navarro over his criticism of opponents of President Donald Trump’s tariffs during an appearance on Fox News’ America Reports Tuesday.

Paul’s appearance followed one from Navarro on Monday during which he accused critics of Trump’s tariff policy of “dishonoring” Americans who have died of fentanyl overdose.

Let Trump's tariffs on Mexico and Canada be a lesson to the rest of the world: The U.S. is a terrible friend. - Jon Stewart

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump

Musk and his team of dodgy 18-year-olds went into sensitive government networks, hooked up their own storage systems, and downloaded the personal information of every American.
Various politicians, some even Republican, are in the words of Susan Collins "very concerned." The press is variously surprised, appalled, and aghast. There are rising calls for Musk's removal.
BUT, here's the part they're all missing: Even if we throw Musk out, HE STILL HAS OUR INFORMATION. - Jim Wright

If it feels like Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to destroy our country from within, that’s because it is exactly what they are f--king doing. - JoJoFromJerz

Sen. Kennedy (LA-R): To my friends who are upset.. call somebody who cares. You better get used to this. It’s USAID today, it’s going to be the Department of Education tomorrow.

President Tough Guy

President Trump on Tuesday said that he has left instructions that if Iran were to assassination him, the country should be destroyed.

The president made the remark after signing an executive order in the Oval Office that reiterates applying maximum pressure on Tehran by giving him all the possible tools to engage with its government, calling the action “very tough on Iran.”

Republican Shenanigans

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding. - Josh Sternberg

NFL Keeps DEI Because They're Not Totally Stupid

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday explained why the league has no intentions to end its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Within the first two weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, DEI has become an even hotter topic. The right continually rail against the DEI movement, claiming it prioritizes diversity over merit when hiring or appointing individuals across a variety of industries.

One silver lining: when this is all over and Musk and the other traitors are rounded up, their tribunals will be must-binge TV. - Andy Borowitz

Trump Wasted Billions of Gallons of Water As A Political Stunt and Probably To Hurt California, Too.
Days after President Trump startled some of his most ardent supporters in California's San Joaquin Valley by having the Army Corps of Engineers suddenly release water from two dams, many in the region and beyond were still perplexed...Peter Gleick, a water scientist and senior fellow at the Pacific Institute, said that “for a political photo op and a social media post, the Trump administration has thrown away billions of gallons of California water.” He said the water will not reach any city, “not be used or usable for firefighting, not be used by farmers since this isn't the irrigation season, and won't be saved for the dry season, which is coming.”

It was “a needlessly self-destructive action purely for political showmanship,” Gleick said.

Will MAGAs Be Able To Afford To Eat At Waffle House?

The soaring price of eggs has forced Waffle House to add a temporary surcharge on customers' orders.

The Georgia-based chain is adding a 50-cent charge per egg because of the "nationwide rise in cost of eggs," according to signs posted at its restaurants. An aggressive strain of avian flu is hurting supply and causing prices to rise - with no relief in sight.

TOURISTS IN COSTA RICA: I love all the nature, the animals, and the plants!

MY PAST MONTH IN COSTA RICA: I captured a total 4 frogs in my bathroom since January, I have no idea how they got inside. guessing the back door. My daughter thinks one frog got in and had babies. They were hiding inside my pedestal sink. Shudder.

THIS MORNING AROUND 4am: I was pouring myself a cup of coffee in the kitchen when I heard metal on concrete noises, as though something had fallen outside my bedroom window. I paid it no mind as I thought the cats had knocked something over.

5am: My daughter comes by (she lives next door) and shows me a photo of a dead snake, a dead poisonous snake, right outside my bedroom window. That metal noise was a machete. My daughter's synopsis: The high winds probably drove the snake from the trees. I asked -- And the snake's family? She said she had no idea. Oh, great. The snake was eating a similar frog I ejected yesterday.

6:30am: Taco needed to go outside. I armed myself with a broom and machete (I have two), did recon on my back screened porch, opened the door and let my fierce guard dog, a chihuahua, out.

6:45am: Another cup of coffee.

7:00am: I hopped online to start production of ahnc.
