Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service

For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship service at the Pentagon on Wednesday (April 15) to bless the U.S.

The world’s dumbest man and the president of the United States should not be the same person.

Teleportation, aliens and cancer-busting soda - it’s not just Trump going cuckoo, his officials are too

Is it really so real though? The New York Times interviewed staff and patrons at three Waffle House locations in Rome, and found that, on balance, the answer is probably “no”. No one was “aware of anyone traveling to the 24-hour restaurants by paranormal means.”

Well, there ya go! They got neuralized, man. Agent K got to them.

Seems like he is planning to never leave The White House. A bunker worked out so well for his idol.

We know how badly Trump is doing with his foreign policies. How are things going for him domestically, like say his efforts to unseat Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell?

How Trump Is Sabotaging Himself on the Federal Reserve

President Donald Trump is threatening — again — to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, this time in the event that Powell doesn’t step down from the Fed when his term as chair ends on May 15.

Let’s play out how that might unfold.

Imagine Trump did decide to fire Powell: The early phases might go the same way as Trump’s attempt to fire another Fed board member, Lisa Cook. In that case, the Supreme Court has allowed Cook to stay in her role while justices deliberate whether Trump has grounds to remove her “for cause.” The president claims that she committed mortgage fraud, but that underlying allegation has not been litigated.

The ruling in that case could come any day now, but questions from the justices hinted that they would prioritize the Fed’s autonomy. Trump would need an advantageous ruling to make his Powell firing work.
