A Couple From Clay Jones

Treasonous Cankles by Clay Jones

That damn Obama strikes again! Read on Substack

Of course, I’m just joking, but I might be starting something here. If MAGAts can believe in chemtrails (and they do), then they can believe President Barack Obama used Kenyan voodoo to give Trump cankles. They already believe in a lot of crazy shit.

The Trump administration claims that Obama committed treason by ordering an investigation into Russia collusion, but how is that treason? Who is it treasonous to, Trump? Is it treasonous to Russia? And how is ordering an investigation into an attack against our country treasonous? I think it’s more treasonous to ignore it or lie about it. It should be treasonous to take Putin’s side over America’s.

If Trump were president in World War II, and Russia had bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, he would have called it a “hoax” and “fake news.”

Now, Trump is coming up with more bullshit to distract his zombies from the Epstein case. He’s howling for prosecuting Beyonce and Oprah. Even if what he was howling about was true, a president (sic) is supposed to let the Justice Department do its job, and leave it alone. Here, Trump wants the DOJ to prosecute Beyoncé and Oprah for supporting his political opponent.

MAGAts have been asking us, “How is Trump fascist?” Ordering the prosecution of your political opponents is just one example of fascism.

One final note: I do know that voodoo is not Kenyan. (snip)

Die, Die, UVA DEI, Die by Clay Jones

A board without diversity will hire the next UVA president Read on Substack

This was drawn for the FXBG Advance.

Abigail Spanberger will be Virginia’s next governor. Governor Glenn Youngkin knows this and has probably known throughout his regime that not only was he limited to one term, but so was his party. Just as Trump left things horrible for Joe Biden to clean up in 2021, Youngkin is leaving a mess for the next governor. With help from the Trump regime, one of those messes is at UVA, the University of Virginia.

As you may remember, Trump’s politicized Department of Justice, chock-full of goons, has forced out the president of UVA over DEI policies. They used his integrity against him, blackmailing him by withholding federal funds unless he resigned.

Now, UVA’s Board of Visitors will hire a new president. Unfortunately, the board is stocked entirely of right-wing fucknuts appointed by Glenn Youngkin, including former state Attorney General and member of the first Trump regime, Ken Cuccinelli. The board is nearly as White as the Trump cabinet. Even the two non-white members probably love them some mayonnaise sandwiches.

Trump has stripped funding for schools to implement his anti-DEI policies, which include shutting down student protests. Columbia University recently agreed to pay a $200 million fine to protect its funding, but lost a huge chunk of its independence to the Trump regime. (snip-MORE, and it’s very good!)

The Mass Starvation Of Gaza Is A Disgrace To Humanity

These were the words used by the King Of Belgium recently and every day things are getting worse, as starvation starts to run rampant across the area. And all of this was man made. We cannot be silent about this.

Some Interesting Reading In This Story:

It’s as I thought back when so many were supposedly dropping all their “DEI” programs; those were “washing” names to begin with, for the profit-makers, who likely run their HR the same way today as they did under “DEI”, and as they did before we used the term, “DEI.” I like this guy in Wichita; obeying the law and the federal E.O., and taking good care of things. My guess is, this is similar to how most entities are doing things. I actually was reading the story because I’m curious how our (KS’s) public schools are working things out, with various federal funding methods stalled. Schools here have to turn in their next-year budgets to the state Leg. in the Spring before the session ends, then receive their money after July 1, when KS’s fiscal year begins. But as we’re aware federal dollars are held up, so I was curious. Some of that is addressed in this story, but what a nice surprise to read about the other!

Wichita Public Schools provides district-wide updates ahead of coming school year

WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) — As summer comes to a close for Wichita Public Schools students, the district is preparing the welcome students back to the same schools with some slight changes.

The very first change is monthly updates from Superintendent Kelly Bielefeld through press conferences, the first of which was held Friday. Superintendent Bielefeld says WPS  principals returned to school this week, and teachers and students will soon follow as school is set to begin on August 14.

Over at Isely Traditional Magnet Elementary School, a 6th-grade class will attend the school for the first time. This is the start to a transition that will take years as Isley begins to accommodate grades Kindergarten through Eighth.

“The parents that I’ve talked to that have students attending Isely are very excited about it, the fact that their kids can stay there for middle school,” said Bielefeld. “The plan was to also do something similar at Cessna had the bond passed. That’s on hold for now.”

The district says it’s looking to communicate better with parents in light of the feedback it received after its bond failed in February. 

In addition to monthly updates from the superintendent, the district announced the creation of a new “Director of Partnerships and Belonging” position. The district says it’s accepting applications, adding that this person will be responsible for working with community partners and strengthening the school-home connection for students and parents.

“This program will target more the community engagement piece that we’ve been hearing from parents, constituents, teachers, everybody, we need to do a better job of that,” said Bielefeld.

This new title replaces the district’s “Director of Diversity, Equity and Accountability” position. This comes as the district works to comply with federal mandates and preserve the legacy of Dr. William Polite — the district’s former DEI director who suddenly died in April after seven-and-a-half years with the district.

The district says programs that fell under Dr. Polite will continue, as those programs have never been about race and instead focused on the different risk factors students face.

“The guidance we’ve been given from the Department of Education currently is that any race-based initiatives are illegal. We have not been doing that,” said Bielefeld. “We’ve been complying with the law. We continue to comply with the law, which is why we’re continuing the programs. And it wasn’t necessarily intentional, but it does describe the position better.” 

The district will be creating a Night School at West High as a way for students to complete additional coursework in the afternoons. This is the first time the credit recovery program will be offered at a comprehensive high school.

Over at South High, the “school within a school” alternative program will help sophomores who get off track as freshmen.

“So instead of waiting until junior or senior year when they’re significantly behind on credits, we’re intervening earlier,” said Bielefeld.

The Superintendent says the district will also be establishing AI guidelines at an upcoming board meeting. Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education released a statement encouraging teachers to utilize AI as a tool in their classrooms.

“The better they understand it, I think, the less they fear and the more they can understand how students are using it,” said Bielefeld. “We continue to look for ways to support our students to become future-ready, and every student in the district to become future-ready.”

Additional information released by the district is as follows:

  • In-person enrollment is July 28, from 12 to 7 p.m.
  • All kindergarten families need to enroll in person.
  • (snip-local info)
  • Girls Flag Football will launch this year at all 7 comprehensive high schools, supported by the Kansas City Chiefs and Chiefs Flag Football League.

The district says it now expects to receive some funding for after-school programs from the $6.3 million in federal funding that was previously paused in July. (snip)

Speaking Of Needing Popcorn-Ryan Walters Is In Trouble! 🤣

My thanks to Charlotte Clymer for the news! Here’s a snippet:

The Good Lord’s Porn Enthusiast by Charlotte Clymer

Hands can never be idle when they’re in prayer. Read on Substack

(snip) So, it came as some surprise when reports emerged that Mr. Walters is being accused of displaying pornography on a television in his office during an executive session of the State Board of Education this past Thursday, according to a few board members in attendance.

Becky Carson and Ryan Deatherage—both of whom were appointed this year to the Board by Republican Gov. Kevin Stitts—were the only two in a position to see the screen and were understandably shocked. Here’s what Ms. Carson said:

I was like, ‘What am I seeing?’ I kind of was in shock, honestly. I started to question whether I was actually seeing what I was seeing,” Carson said. “I was like, ‘Is that woman naked?’ And then I was like, ‘No, she’s got a body suit on.’ And it happened very quickly, I was like, ‘That is not a body suit.’ And I hate to even use these terms, but I said, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I was looking closer, and I got a full-body view, and I was like, ‘That is pubic hair.’ Even right now, I couldn’t even tell you what I was watching.

I was so disturbed by it, that I was like — very loudly and boastfully, like I was a parent or a teacher — I said, ‘What is on your TV? What am I watching?’ He was like, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ He stood up and saw it. He made acknowledgment that he saw it,” Carson recalled. “And I said, ‘Turn it off. Now.’ And he was like, ‘What is this? What is this?’ So he acknowledged it was inappropriate just by those words. And he was like, ‘I can’t get it to turn off. I can’t figure out how to turn it off.’ And I said, ‘Get it turned off.’ So he finally got it turned off, and that was the end of it. He didn’t address it. He didn’t apologize. Nothing was said.

Mr. Deatherage concurred: “I don’t know if he turned it off or switched the channel, I don’t remember. I was surprised that when he came back to the table, he was not apologetic. I didn’t ever hear an apology for that being on, and he didn’t seem to be fazed that it was on.”

Republican leaders in the State Senate are now launching an investigation into the matter, which they described as a “bizarre and troubling situation.” All seem unanimously perplexed and concerned. (snip-please do go read the rest; Charlotte closes with some excellent wordplay!)

FCC Chair Threatens “Consequences” For “The View,” And Basically Admits That Trump Got Colbert Canceled

FCC Chair Threatens “Consequences” For “The View,” And Basically Admits That Trump Got Colbert Canceled

July 24, 2025

FOX HOST BILL HEMMER: “Did President Trump have anything to do with the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show?”

BRENDAN CARR: “I think there are a lot of consequences that are flowing from President Trump deciding, ‘I won’t play by the rules of politicians in the past and let these legacy outfits dictate the narrative and terms of the debate.’ He is succeeding. Look at what is happening. NPR has been defunded, PBS has been defunded, Colbert is getting canceled. You’ve got anchors and news media personalities losing jobs downstream of President trump’s decision to stand up. He stood up for the American people. American people don’t trust the legacy gate keepers anymore.”

BILL HEMMER: “I asked a very direct question. I did not hear a yes or a no in your answer. I heard a maybe. Is The View now in the crosshairs of this administration?”

BRENDAN CARR: “Look, it’s entirely possible that there’s issues over there. I mean, again, stepping back, this broader dynamic, once President Trump has exposed these media gatekeepers and smashed this facade, there’s a lot of consequences. I think the consequences of that aren’t quite finished.”

  • FCC chair says Trump administration reshaping media
  • Democrats say FCC actions violate First Amendment rights
  • FCC not dropping complaint against CBS over ’60 Minutes’ interview with Harris
WASHINGTON, July 25 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump and the Federal Communications Commission have vowed to force American broadcast media outlets to make significant changes.
CBS may be just the beginning.

Jumpstart your morning with the latest legal news delivered straight to your inbox from The Daily Docket newsletter. Sign up here.

“President Trump is fundamentally reshaping the media landscape,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr told CNBC Friday. “The media industry across this country needs a course correction.”
On Thursday, the FCC voted 2-1 to approve the $8.4 billion merger between CBS parent Paramount Global (PARA.O), opens new tab and Skydance Media after Skydance agreed to ensure CBS news and entertainment programming is free of bias, hire an ombudsman for at least two years to review complaints and end diversity programs.
Trump has repeatedly attacked broadcast networks for what he perceives as unbiased news coverage and called on Carr to rescind their licenses.
“The new owners of CBS came in and said, ‘It’s time for a change. We’re going to reorient it towards getting rid of bias,” Carr said. “At the end of the day that’s what made the difference for us.”
Carr’s comments suggest the FCC will ramp up efforts to rid mainstream media of what he and President Trump consider a deep and enduring liberal bias, creating an opening for more conservative views among the biggest media companies.
The FCC regulates broadcast media outlets, which use the public airways and are required to act in the public interest. Carr has cited the public interest standard in seeking the changes at CBS.
Democratic FCC Commission Anna Gomez accused Paramount of “cowardly capitulation” to the Trump administration. She also said the FCC was imposing “never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law.”
Earlier this month, Paramount agreed to pay $16 million to settle a $20 billion lawsuit filed by Trump, claiming CBS News’ “60 Minutes” deceptively edited an interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Paramount did not admit wrongdoing.
Some Democrats have called the payment a bribe and vowed to investigate. “Trump demands allegiance from everyone around him and it’s disgusting to see companies like Skydance and Paramount bowing to his endless and illegal demands,” Representative Frank Pallone said.
Soon after being designated chair by Trump in January, Carr reinstated a “60 Minutes” complaint, as well as complaints about how Walt Disney’s (DIS.N), opens new tab ABC News moderated the pre-election televised debate between then-President Joe Biden and Trump and Comcast’s (CMCSA.O), opens new tab NBC for allowing Harris to appear on “Saturday Night Live” shortly before the election.
Disney and Comcast did not immediately comment Friday.
Carr told Reuters Thursday the FCC is not closing its investigation into the “60 Minutes” interview.
The FCC has required companies like T-Mobile (TMUS.O), opens new tab and Verizon (VZ.N), opens new tab to end diversity programs before approving deals. Carr in February told Comcast he was opening a probe into its diversity efforts.

Peace & Justice History For 7/27

July 27, 1919
A riot began in Chicago when police refused to arrest a white man who was responsible for the death of a young black man, Eugene Williams. The 29th Street Beach on Lake Michigan was used by both black and white Chicagoans. But the man had been throwing stones at the black boys swimming there before hitting Williams.

The Coroner’s report on the riot described the events as follows: “Five days of terrible hate and passion let loose, cost the people of Chicago 38 lives (15 white and 23 colored), wounded and maimed several hundred, destroyed property of untold value, filled thousands with fear, blemished the city and left in its wake fear and apprehension for the future . . . .”
The city’s booming economy, especially jobs in the stockyards, had drawn many blacks during the Great Migration from the South, more than doubling their population in just three years. Only one policeman died in the chaos, Patrolman John Simpson, 31, an African American working out of the Wabash Avenue Station. 
Gangs and the 1919 Chicago Race Riot. 
July 27, 1953
After three years of bloody and frustrating war leading to stalemate, the United States, the People’s Republic of China and North Korea agreed to a truce, bringing the Korean War—and America’s first experiment with the Cold War concept of “limited war”—to an end (South Korean President Syngman Rhee opposed the truce and refused to sign). U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower had taken office six months earlier, and Soviet leader Josef Stalin had died that March.

The armistice signed this day ended hostilities and created the 4000-meter-wide (2.5 miles) demilitarized zone (DMZ), a buffer between North and South Korean forces, but was not a permanent peace treaty. It also set up a system for exchanging prisoners of war: 12,000 held by the North, 75,000 by South Korea, the U.S. and the U.N. allied forces.
There were four million military and civilian casualties, including 16,000 from countries which were part of the U.N.-allied forces; 415,000 South and 520,000 North Koreans died.
There were also an estimated 900,000 Chinese casualties. 36,516 died out of the nearly 1.8 million Americans who served in the conflict.
July 27, 1954
The democratically elected Guatemalan government of Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán, after receiving 65% of the vote, was overthrown by CIA-paid and -trained mercenaries. There followed a series of military dictatorships that waged a genocidal war against the indigenous Mayan Indians and against political opponents into the ’90s. Nearly 200,000 citizens died over the nearly four decades of civil war.
“They have used the pretext of anti-communism. The truth is very different. The truth is to be found in the financial interests of the fruit company [United Fruit, which controlled more land than any other individual or group in the country. It also owned the railway, the electric utilities, telegraph, and the country’s only port at Puerto Barrios on the Atlantic coast.] and the other U.S. monopolies which have invested great amounts of money in Latin America and fear that the example of Guatemala would be followed by other Latin countries . . . I took over the presidency with great faith in the democratic system, in liberty and the possibility of achieving economic independence for Guatemala.”

Trident sub being loaded
Known as the “Weep for Children Plowshares,” four women were arrested for pouring their own blood on weaponry at the Naval Submarine Base at Groton, Connecticut, on the morning of the launch of the last-built Ohio-class submarine, the U.S.S. Louisiana. The 18 such submarines carry about half of the U.S. nuclear deterrent – 24 Trident I & II missiles with a range of 7400 km (4600 miles), each with several warheads known as MIRVs (multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles).

Trump’s DEATH TRAP Leaks… and CHAOS ERUPTS

Open Windows, & Clay Jones

Mexican Coke by Clay Jones

And not the kind of coke Don Jr wants Read on Substack

Trump has tried several deflections from the Epstein Files, including revoking Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship, forcing the Washington Commanders to change its name back to the racist one, claiming President Obama committed treason by ordering an investigation into Russia’s election meddling in 2016, and now Mexican Coca-Cola.

The Coca-Cola available in the USA is made with corn syrup. The Coca-Cola made in Mexico is made with cane sugar. A lot of people claim the soft drink made with sugar tastes better than the version made with corn syrup. I’m sure I had it when I was younger, but I don’t remember if it was better.

I do love Coca-Cola. I do think Coke in a glass bottle tastes better than it does in plastic. Sometimes, fountain Cokes, depending on where you get them, taste better than all of them. I grew up drinking Coca-Cola. (snip-MORE)

South Park Treason by Clay Jones

South Park hits Trump in his tiny penis Read on Substack

Back in 2000, the guys from South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, created a new TV series titled That’s My Bush. Guess who it was about. While the series included topics like abortion, the death penalty, drugs, drilling in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, and gun control, it was mostly a hit on family-based sitcoms, except this family just so happened to live in the White House. It came complete with an annoying neighbor. The main character, George W. Bush, would say to his wife, Laura Bush, “One of these days, Laura, I’m gonna punch you in the face!”

You would expect a show from the South Park guys about George W. Bush to rip the president apart. While it did make him out to be an idiot, he was also a lovable oaf with good intentions. He was not hateful, evil, or mean. Though it did hit Dick Cheney pretty good, and showed him commit a hostile takeover in one episode, and Bush temporarily became a Luchadore professional wrestler until he was restored to office. Critics loved the show, but it was too expensive for a small network like Comedy Central. It only lasted eight episodes. Even if it had been renewed, I’m sure 9/11, which occurred five months after the last episode aired, would have killed it.

The show was planned to be about a President Al Gore, but surprising Parker and Stone, Florida happened, so the entire thing had to be rewritten.

One thing that did not happen was outrage expressed by the Bush administration. I’m sure there were people in the White House who were aware of it, and either snickered at it or were outraged, but these were the days when most people in government were adults.

President Bush never stood in the driveway howling to reporters about the losers lampooning him on TV, or talked about low ratings, or how they were the stupid ones, not him, etc, etc. These were the days before social media, but I still don’t think Bush would have cried to his base on Twitter. The Bush administration ignored it. (snip-MORE)

Trump Train For Ghislaine by Clay Jones

What’s in it for Ghislaine Maxwell? Read on Substack

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, who used to be Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, spent nine hours over two days interviewing Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell about the Epstein case.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding Epstein in the sex trafficking of minors. As you know, the deceased pedophile committed suicide in a New York jail while waiting to stand trial.

The Justice Department has granted Maxwell “limited immunity,” just so long as she tells the truth. That “truth” will be what the Trump administration wants to hear. Trump’s name is in the Epstein Files…a lot. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Trump before she announced the files wouldn’t be released.

Maxwell’s attorney, David Markus, told ABC News on Friday that Maxwell was asked about “maybe 100 different people” and “She didn’t hold anything back.” I’m sure she and her attorney have figured out what they need to say, which is what Trump’s criminal attorney needs to hear.

Maxwell’s attorney also said, “This is not a situation where we are asking for anything in return for testimony or anything like that. Of course, everybody knows Ms. Maxwell would welcome any relief.” Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, pardon-pardon.

When asked if he was considering giving Mazwell a pardon or commuting her sentence, right before he jumped on Air Force One at our expense to play golf in Scotland, Trump said he hasn’t thought about it, but he does have the “power” to do it.

Trump also said he trusts Todd Blanche. This is the setup. This is what will happen. (snip-MORE)
