Sheriffs served legal papers on behalf of Orbis Business Intelligence at Dummkopf Trumpf's Scottish golf courses as part of a dispute with former British MI6 officer Christopher Steele. The consultancy was awarded more than 625,000 UK pounds in costs during a UK High Court hearing in April but Trumpf has refused to pay. Trumpf unsuccessfully attempted to sue Christopher Steele who produced a dossier claiming Russia held compromising material on the Dotard-in-Chief. Trumpf denied the "shocking and scandalous" claims and sued Steele using UK data protection legislation. The High Court ruled against Trumpf in Feb 2024 and Orbis was initially awarded 300,000 UK pounds in costs. Trumpf sought permission to appeal against the judgment but was refused. Read more
Canada PM Mark Carney unveiled an array of national projects to turbocharge' the economy as it fends off a trade war with the US that Dummkopf Trumpf idiotically began. A liquefied natural gas facility, critical mineral mines, a nuclear reactor, and port expansion marks the first wave of major national projects. An expansion of LNG Canada's Kitimat facility on the Pacific coast, which will in effect double the plant's annual export capacity to 28m tons, is among the biggest supported by the Liberal government, which has pledged to invest heavily in " and speed " up permits for " projects deemed in the national interest. "The path ahead will not always be easy, because what's happening now in the global economy is not a transition " it is a rupture," said Carney. "The US is fundamentally and rapidly transforming all of its trading relationships, and the effects are both immediate and profound." Read more
In a stunning turn of events that underscores the chaos surrounding U.S. immigration policy, Donald Trump personally offered hundreds of South Korean workers detained in a massive immigration raid the opportunity to stay in the country"and nearly every single one of them said no. The raid, which unfolded last week at Hyundai's $4.3 billion EV battery plant under construction in Georgia, resulted in the arrest of around 300 South Korean nationals and more than 150 others from various countries. The plant, one of the crown jewels of U.S.-South Korea industrial collaboration, has now become the unlikely epicenter of a diplomatic and political mess. According to South Korean officials, Trump privately offered the workers a deal: remain in the U.S. to help train American staff. The offer was made quietly, behind the scenes, and even delayed a chartered flight meant to take them back to Seoul. Only one worker accepted, according to Reuters.
President Donald Trump was sporting a doozy of a droopy face as he ventured outside the White House Thursday amid mounting questions about his health. The 79-year-old president appeared at a Pentagon event commemorating the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, where the right side of his face sparked a wave of online speculation. "Trump looked absolutely awful during his attendance at a 9/11 ceremony at the Pentagon," host Ben Meiselas said during a Thursday episode of the MeidasTouch podcast. "His face was very droopy, he seemed addled, like he didn't even know where he was." This is just the latest in a firestorm of health concerns surrounding Trump. The White House revealed in July that the president has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, a condition that occurs when leg vein valves fail, causing blood to pool. Trump has since been seen with swollen ankles.
Multiple historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are on lockdown after receiving potential threats on Thursday, including Alabama State University, Virginia State University, Hampton University in Virginia, Southern University in Louisiana, and Clark Atlanta University in Georgia. Spelman College, located near Clark Atlanta University, has also implemented shelter-in-place protocols as a precautionary measure due to its proximity. The lockdown measures come in the wake of the shooting at Utah Valley University on Wednesday, where 31-year-old conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was killed at his speaking engagement on campus. Civil right activist Rev. Al Sharpton released a statement on Thursday, calling for an end to threats to HBCU campuses and all forms of violence amid tensions after the killing of Kirk.
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro (70) has been sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison after being found guilty of plotting a military coup. A panel of five Supreme Court justices handed down the sentence just hours after they had convicted the former leader. They ruled he was guilty of leading a conspiracy aimed at keeping him in power after he lost the 2022 election to his rival, the amiable Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. Four of the justices found him guilty while one voted to acquit him. Bolsonaro's lawyers have called the sentence "absurdly excessive" and said that they would file "the appropriate appeals." The Supreme Court panel also barred him from running for public office until 2033. Bolsonaro is under house arrest and did not attend this final phase of the trial in person. Read more

He demanded we roll back the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and disparaged civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King.
He was demeaning towards Black people, "If I'm dealing with somebody in customer service who's a moronic Black woman...is she there because of affirmative action?" He said "prowling Blacks" are targeting white people "for fun."
He blamed Black Lives Matter for "destroying the fabric of our society." Read more

Yeah, I don't care what anybody says and, like trumpers, I don't need no stinkin' evidence. This was a professional hit and the financier is enjoying the intended response.
Investigators hunting the gunman who killed Charlie Kirk recovered a hunting rifle with ammunition engraved with "transgender and anti-fascist ideology", according to an internal law enforcement update. Authorities believe the sniper fired a single lethal shot at Kirk, 31, the conservative campaigner and Donald Trump confidant, before jumping off a roof overlooking the event at Utah Valley University, and escaping through woodland. The killing of such a high-profile figure in Mr Trump's sphere has sent shockwaves through a nation already battered by political violence and divisions. Read more
MAGA supporters are accusing South Park of being to blame for the shooting death of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday. The shooting has shocked the world and prompted furious reactions from the conservative activist's supporters and friends. Theories being spread on social media regarding the shooter's motive have stretched to a recent episode of South Park, which centres around a parodied version of Kirk played by the character Eric Cartman. "Trey Parker and Matt Stone are responsible for this," posted a second, referring to the creators of the show. "South Park certainly fomented the hatred necessary to get Kirk assassinated," a third said.

The firm guarding sites where aid is distributed in Gaza has been using members of a US biker gang with a history of hostility to Islam to run its armed security. At least ten members of the Infidels Motorcycle Club are working for UG Solutions, a private contractor providing security at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites, where hundreds of civilians seeking food have been killed in scenes of chaos and gunfire. Seven members of the gang are in senior positions overseeing sites at the controversial aid operation backed by Israel and Dummkopf Trumpf. Infidels MC was set up by US military veterans of the Iraq war in 2006 and members see themselves as modern Crusaders, using the Crusader cross as their symbol - a reference to the medieval Christians who fought Muslims for control of Jerusalem. The gang hosts anti-Muslim hate speech on its Facebook page and has previously held a pig roast "in defiance of" the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. Read more
Qatar would have been forgiven for thinking it was immune from Israeli attack. The tiny Gulf state is a key US ally that hosts USCENTCOM Forward and welcomed President Dummkopf Trumpf just four months ago; red carpets were laid, billion-dollar deals were done, and a controversial presidential aircraft bequeathed. As mediator to end the war in Gaza, Qatar's PM Sheikh Mohammed Al Thani personally met with Hamas' chief negotiator Khalil Al-Hayya on Monday to push for the new US-led ceasefire and hostage deal. Hamas' response was expected at a follow-up meeting Tuesday evening; a couple of hours before that answer, Israeli jets struck a residential building in Doha, murdering five Palestinians and a Qatari security official. The sense of shock and betrayal is palpable in the Qatari capital. Read more
