Amazing: James Comey Finds Natural Rock Formation Spelling Out 'EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG'

Do we really need to label this parody?

 Babylon Bee

U.S. — Former FBI Director James Comey found himself in hot water this week for posting what he claimed was a natural rock formation that appeared to spell out "EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG."

"The photo, posted on Comey's Instagram account, depicted a collection of rocks which he claimed to have found sitting in a natural formation. According to Comey, it was entirely a coincidence that they happened to spell out "EXPLODE TRUMP'S HEAD WITH A BOOMERANG."

" 'Cool rock formation on my beach walk," Comey wrote in a caption that accompanied the image.

"The viral photo immediately attracted negative attention for the retired public servant. "I've devoted my life to my country, now I just want to spend my days taking long walks on the beach where I can imagine Trump's corpse buried beneath the majestic sands," he said. "You people are reading way too much into this picture of cool rocks I found."

"Geologists said it was impossible for rocks to have appeared on the beach naturally in such a formation, noting that rocks are not capable of speaking English. "They speak rock language, everyone knows that," said associate geologist Dominique Fordquilt. "Nice looking rocks, though."

"At publishing time, Comey was forced to delete the Instagram photo due to the backlash and replace it with what he claimed was a natural formation of dead fish washed up on the beach that spelled out "I'M SORRY.' "

California Schools Are a Mess

 American Greatness  

"In 2025, several education bills were signed into law, ranging from rules to protect young people from being outed against their will to regulations that require elementary schools to offer free menstruation products." 

 

"For many years, Mississippi schools were among the worst in the nation. However, in 2024, test scores in both fourth-grade math and reading on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) increased significantly, surpassing those of California’s fourth-graders.

"In math, Mississippi is now ranked 16th nationally, while California is 43rd. More stunningly, Mississippi ranks 7th in reading, whereas California is 39th.

"Why did historically low-performing Mississippi advance in reading?Per-pupil spending and teacher pay are certainly not the reasons.

 "California is 20th in the nation in per-pupil spending, while Mississippi is 44th. The average teacher salary in California for the 2023-2024 school year was the highest in the U.S. at $101,084 per year. In contrast, Mississippi’s average educator makes just $53,704, 48th in the country.

"The reason for the dramatic shift is that Mississippi passed the Literacy-Based Promotion Act, a landmark education reform law, in 2013. The law ensures that all students read at or above grade level by the end of third grade. This sweeping set of reforms includes requiring schools to focus heavily on phonics-based instruction, also known as the “Science of Reading.”

"Additionally, Mississippi ended the practice of promoting third graders who couldn’t read proficiently. Instead, the state invested in specialized reading coaches rather than expanding central office bureaucracies and demanded excellence, provided targeted support, and held students, teachers, and administrators accountable.

"Notably, the success wasn’t limited to one demographic. Black students in Mississippi matched the broader gains, demonstrating that when high expectations are set for Black children, they rise to meet them."

Larry Sand, a retired 28-year classroom teacher, is the president of the non-profit California Teachers Empowerment Network—a non-partisan, non-political group dedicated to providing teachers and the general public with reliable and balanced information about professional affiliations and positions on educational issues.

‘Nobody Cares’: ["Chardonnay socialist"] Bruce Springsteen Mocked For Tirade Against Trump

 I've always loved the guy's music and even have a shortcut to his XM channel. But the pleasure of listening just is not there and hasn't been for, well, since Biden. The Tunnel Dweller.

"Singer and leftist Bruce Springsteen opened his “Land of Hopes and Dreams” tour with his E Street Band by delivering a lengthy diatribe on foreign soil against President Donald Trump, which led to mockery and criticism on social media.

"The 75-year-old recording artist took to the stage on Wednesday in Manchester, England, to make his complaints." . . .

. . . "While some social media users agreed with Springsteen’s message, a large number of commenters were critical of the statements he was making.

“Nobody cares what Bruce Springsteen has to say,” one X user replied. 

“Bruce Springsteen has completely lost his mind,” another commenter observed. “He goes full MSNBC instead of just playing the music people were there to hear. Entertainers are such narcissists.” . . .

Bruce Springsteen Rants About Trump Overseas — Then Trump Drops a Nuke on Him   (RANT: to talk loudly and in a way that shows anger : to complain in a way that is unreasonable) 

 Springsteen has constantly sided with the far left on most political issues. But over recent years, his political commentary has grown decidedly dumber. In 2016, he canceled a concert in North Carolina in protest of a law restricting trans-identified people from using restrooms that do not correspond with their biological sex.

 . . . "It might be unseemly to criticize a musical legend like “The Boss.” So I won’t. I’ll simply point out that it might not be the greatest idea to take political opinions from someone who thinks men belong in women’s bathrooms."

Comey Deletes Trump Assassination Social Media Post – Updates With UNBELIEVABLE Comment

 What Does 'Eighty-Six' Mean? | Merriam-Webster  It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out.

What to Know;   Eighty-six is slang meaning "to throw out," "to get rid of," or "to refuse service to." It comes from 1930s soda-counter slang meaning that an item was sold out. There is varying anecdotal evidence about why the term eighty-six was used, but the most common theory is that it is rhyming slang for nix.

Comey Deletes Trump Assassination Social Media Post – Updates With UNBELIEVABLE Comment 

. . .“I posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message. I didn’t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence. It never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down,” Comey said on Instagram.

"So Comey expects the public to believe that he, a former FBI Director, did not know the meaning of “86.”

"James Comey is also implying he did not assemble the shell formation. He is claiming that he just happened to stumble across the assassination message while he was on his beach walk." . . .

James Comey’s tenure as FBI Director was a disaster, and Comey will go down in history as one of the worst “public servants” of the modern era. But did he really issue a death threat against President Trump?

Comment in Fox News: by brock_o_bama:

Still lying after all these years.

Easy to see how he gave Hillary a pass.

He's as compromised as they get.

"The Secret Service may try to force former FBI Director James Comey to answer pointed questions into a social media post he issued

“Look, here’s the deal: They’re sending agents out, and they’re going talk to him, and he’s not going to have a choice,” Marino said. “He’s going to have to talk to them, because this stuff about, well, you know, I found this on the beach. I didn’t know what it meant. None of that makes sense.”

If these are the same "pro-Hamas" bunch, it all stands to reason. They chant as told and have no original thoughts I can discern. One can expect expect Greta Thunberg to soon take part in this. TD

From Legal Insurrection:  Karol Markowicz wrote about the “86” slang at The New York Post last month:   "In Holland, Mich., Redmond, Ore., and elsewhere, grinning marchers wore shirts and carried placards emblazoned with the number “8647,” pairing the old slang term for murder with a 47 for Trump. One 8647 protester stood right alongside Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison in Minneapolis.  

“Hands off or heads off,” read the message on a life-size guillotine paraded about in Denver.

"Comey claimed he saw the shells and had no idea of the deeper meaning of the message."

RealClearPolitics... After two assassination attempts against Trump, it doesn’t matter, Gabbard said.

"She pointed out that Comey made a career out of prosecuting mobsters, who regular use the term “86” as code for murder and that the phrase had already been circulating among anti-Trump and anti-Elon Musk protesters as calls to assassinate the 47^th president.

“This is a guy issuing a hit on President Trump,” she said." 

Peter Doocy is skeptical.

"Ya gotta love the sheer, decidedly out front, hypocrisy of Hillary Clinton."

 The American Spectator

 Which is to say, the president, as commander in chief, accepted the plane as a gift to the United States and as such it “will be given to the Department of Defense.”

Broc Smith, the Toonsmith

Hillary Accepted Foreign Gifts  . . . "Then there was this from Red State: “Hillary Clinton Rips Trump Over Qatar Plane, Gets Slapped With Reminder of the Gifts She Accepted.”

"The story reports, with, again, bold print for emphasis supplied:

Clinton, ever the grizzled political veteran, had to know that critics’ responses were going to come flying in fast and furious, even with the comments on her posts being turned off.

And they most certainly did, many of which involved gentle reminders that Clinton was embroiled in countless pay-to-play donation controversies while serving as Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. Not to mention, while preparing to run for President. 

One such gift came from — you guessed it — Qatar.

Reuters reported on a $1 million donation sent in 2011 by Qatari officials to the Clinton Foundation in honor of her husband’s birthday. The Foundation was forced to confirm that it received the gift from Qatar “without informing the State Department,” while Clinton was Secretary of State, after hacked emails published by Wikileaks years later revealed they wanted to meet Bill in person to hand him the check.

According to the same report, the Qatari government had donated up to $5 million to the foundation over the years, which were significant gifts to a former and, what many thought at the time, future President.

 "One could go on and on and on with this particular Clinton hypocrisy." . . .

The Biden Admin Banished This Historic Jesus Painting. Sean Duffy’s Moving It Back To Spotlight.

Leif Le Mahieu; Daily Wire

Duffy is moving 'Christ on the Water' back to a place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy.

Duffy said in a video addressed to midshipmen that the World War II-era painting “Christ on the Water,” which depicts Jesus Christ appearing to sailors adrift at sea, would be returning to its original location at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York. The Biden administration moved the painting from its decades-old location to the basement in 2023 after a complaint that its presence violated the Constitution." . . .

“Christ on the Water” was completed in 1944 by artist Hunter Wood, who joined the Coast Guard just 10 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Wood saw action in North Africa before working on a Coast Guard Combat Artist Unit. In 1947, his painting was installed at the Merchant Marine Academy’s Wiley Hall Elliot See Room. It was displayed at that location for almost 80 years, when the Biden administration moved it because of a complaint from the Military Religious Freedom Foundation." . . .  

Newsom Reverses Course on Taxpayer Funded Health Care for Illegal Immigrants, Calls to Pause Enrollment

 National Review  Two thumbs up for The Man!

"Newsom’s office predicted the proposed changes will save the state $5.4 billion by 2028-2029." 

"California Governor Gavin Newsom said Wednesday he wants the state to stop enrolling more low-income illegal immigrants in a state-funded health care program, beginning next year.

"Under Newsom’s plan, the state would not end coverage for illegal immigrants who are already enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s Medicaid program. However, the state would begin charging adults with “unsatisfactory immigrant status” a monthly premium of $100 beginning in 2027.

"Newsom’s announcement comes after the governor previously said in March he was not considering rolling back health benefits for low-income illegal immigrants, even as the state contended with a $6.2 billion Medicaid shortfall.

"Just last year, the state became among the first to offer free health care benefits to all low-income adults, regardless of immigration status.

"Now, Newsom is backtracking as the expansion cost the state $2.7 billion more than his administration had predicted.

"Newsom said Wednesday that the move is being made both because of the higher-than-expected cost for the program and the economic uncertainty caused by President Trump’s tariffs.

" 'The state must take difficult but necessary steps to ensure fiscal stability and preserve the long-term viability of Medi-Cal for all Californians,” the governor’s office said in a statement." ...

Biden Dems 'Awed' by Trump's Quick, Bold Mideast Moves

NewsMax

But we learned turning the Muslim World into a Constitutional republic has been a non-starter. TD

"President Donald Trump's quick, bold moves on trade deals, hostage returns, and peace talks in the Middle East this week have even staunch Biden administration Democrats in awe.

"Gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that could move that quickly," a Bidenadministration official admitted to Axios on Thursday as Trump is wrapping up day three of his tour through Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

"Former Biden State Department spokesman Ned Price was willing to go on record with a caveat to those in awe: Claiming the quick, bold moves only come because Trump is unchained by political forces unlike anyone before — ostensibly admitting former President Joe Biden was beholden to Democrat influence during his administration.

" 'He does all this, and it's kind of silence, it's met with a shrug," Price told Axios of Trump. "He has the ability to do things politically that previous presidents did not because he has complete unquestioned authority over the Republican caucus."

"While Trump says he is close to a new Iran nuclear deal, former President Barack Obama's Iran nuclear deal negotiator Rob Malley calls the move "damage."

"It's hard not to be simultaneously terrified at the thought of the damage he can cause with such power and awed by his willingness to brazenly shatter so many harmful taboos," Malley said to Axios.

"There are even some Biden administration goals that Trump met quickly, including the lifting of sanctions on Syria after the new leader — even if a former al-Qaida terrorist — attempts to rebuild his country." . . .

Trump’s Riyadh Speech Heralds The End Of Failed Neocon Foreign Policy

"Truly looking out for American interests means refraining from trying to remake foreign countries in our own image."

One fear: Muslim areas in Western nations that seek to belong Sharia-dominated must be opposed. When that happens, Muslim resistance tends to become violent and we are faced not with remaking culture into Western-style principles, but preserving them. TD

"In what was probably the most important presidential speech in decades, President Donald Trump repudiated decades of failed interventionist U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East during an official visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Tuesday.

"Not only did Trump lambast neocon “nation-building” in the region, he more or less vowed never to pursue the kinds of neocon misadventures that spilt American blood and treasure over the past 25 years in the insane pursuit of creating western liberal democracies in the Middle East.

"In stark and unmistakable terms, the president reminded the world of the abject failure of decades of neocon and liberal interventionist U.S. foreign policy under both Democrat and Republican leadership. He specifically called out the trillions of U.S. tax dollars wasted in a totally unsuccessful attempt to turn Iraq and Afghanistan into western-style democracies as part of the global war on terror.

“ 'In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built — and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves,” Trump said. “The gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called nation-builders, neocons, or liberal non-profits like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad.”

"His speech, which came after a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the signing of economic agreements totaling $600 billion in new trade deals, heralds a new approach not just to Mideast politics but to American foreign policy generally. By disavowing the nation-building ideology of the neocons and liberal interventionists that dominated U.S. foreign policy under the Bush, Obama, and Biden presidencies, Trump articulated a vision of American engagement with the world that is both more tolerant, more transactional, and less concerned with the internal affairs of other nations.

"In other words, Trump’s vision of American foreign policy isn’t driven by a zeal to remake the world into some version of a liberal western democracy. In Riyadh, he was saying that Saudi Arabia and the other Arab states can just be Islamic monarchies, and as long as they present no threat to American interests, and as long as they promote peace and stability, then we can do business with them." . . .

‘Get Laid’ and ‘Have Fun’: The Democrats (Still) Don’t Get It

This kid has no more common sense than I did at his age. This country deserves better than him. TD

The American Spectator   

"Every culture worth preserving has known that human beings flourish through duty, not decadence. Through structure, not chaos. Through virtue, not vice. We ignore that at our peril. 

Broc Smith

"Young people should be able to focus on what young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun.”

"So went the “wisdom” proffered last week by David Hogg, the 25-year-old activist and current vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, on Real Time With Bill Maher. What was pitched as a strategic insight into his party’s eroding support among young people — especially young males — did something far more revealing: It captured (and exposed) the moral bankruptcy at the heart of the modern Left.

"Hogg’s comment wasn’t a gaffe. It was the articulation of a worldview and a political program that confirms that the Democrat Party is no longer the party that left Bill Clinton behind. The Democrat Party is the party that has flatly rejected JFK’s exhortation to “ask what you can do for your country.”  

"In Hogg’s DNC, now is not the time to do something for your country. No, now’s the time for your country to do something for you — like give you more opportunities for sex and cheap entertainment. 

"I get the ostensible appeal, but let’s begin with the most obvious point: This isn’t just bad political analysis. This is a deeply unserious (and flawed) vision of young people, and of all people. Young people — whether they admit as much or not — are desperately looking for more. They’re searching for purpose, for meaning, for something or someone to give themselves to. They’re yearning for a vision of adulthood that doesn’t collapse into endless adolescence." . . .  

UPDated: 'Treasonous': Bruce Springsteen unleashes anti-Trump attacks as he kicks off tour

 Raw Story.  

Let Bruce tell you whom America should vote for.

"Legendary rock star Bruce Springsteen kicked off this year's European tour with a fiery tirade against President Donald Trump.

"According to Rolling Stone, Springsteen, performing in Manchester, England, issued the rebuke before launching into his hit song, "Land of Hope and Dreams."

“ 'The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times,” he said. “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

" 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," he continued. "This is ‘Land of Hope and Dreams.”

"Springsteen has used his voice to highlight political causes for years, and backed multiple Democratic presidential campaigns, playing "The Rising" at the Democratic National Convention in 2020." . . .

Patricia McCarthy commented on Springsteen's yokefellows: "With each passing day, the Democrats are proving they hate America"  

. . ."They reveal their contempt for American citizens on a daily basis.  Sen. Chris Murphy admitted that his party “values” these millions of migrants over American citizens.  They are going to great lengths to protect them from law enforcement.  So full of hate for President Trump and his supporters, they have quite literally sold their souls to the evil that Biden’s open borders brought to our country."  . . .

Why So Many Fans Turned Against Bruce Springsteen - ClassicRockHistory.com
UPDATE:. . ." As John Kerry failed to defeat George Bush so did Bruce Springsteen’s commitment to change. What it did do was lead to a huge backlash against Bruce Springsteen. A backlash that would become permanent among millions of fans who would never forget the images and words of Springsteen standing on stage next to John Kerry opposing a President (Bush)that they actually loved and opposing a way of life they were fine with. Over the years when Bruce Springsteen would stand on stage next to President Obama, more and more fans walked away upset in his endorsement of yet another Democrat." . . .

Ann Coulter  “

That’s 8/8,” the master spy said, before launching into a fascinating exegesis on numerology. “The numbers 8/8 are very significant in neo-Nazi and white supremacy movements,” he explained. “Why? Because the letter H is the eighth letter of the alphabet and to [neo-Nazis] the numbers 8/8 together stand for Heil Hitler.” 

"The thing I admire most about liberals is their balls-to-the-wall bravery. This past weekend, for example, CBS’s Scott Pelley called Trump a “felon,” making him, quite simply, the finest investigative reporter working in journalism today.

"Innumerable new outlets hailed Pelley’s reckless courage in headlines the next day, (here, Mediaite):

"“’60 Minutes’ Airs Scathing Segment on ‘First Felon in the Oval Office’ Despite Pressure to Avoid Sensitive Stories About Trump”

"[Editor — Correction: Trump has been called a ” felon” by every major newspaper, TV anchor, elected Democrat, blog post, overweight female protester and undiscovered Amazonian tribe. The New York Times alone has called him a “convicted felon” more than a thousand times. By now, Trump is insisting that “convicted felon” be on his headstone. Pelley’s calling Trump a felon was not heroic.]

"In CBS’s own write-up on Pelley’s fearless decision to label Trump a “felon,” the network reported that it “was nearly impossible to get anyone on camera for this story because of the fear now running through our system of justice.”

" 'Miraculously though, “60 Minutes” somehow managed to lure Democratic activist lawyer Marc Elias out of retirement and onto its airwaves. Nobody’s sure when he might appear on TV again, except continuously, until the end of time.

"Demonstrating the very real risk to Elias for criticizing Trump, the media crackled with encomiums to his courage the next day. The most enthusiastic admirer of Elias’s bravery was Elias himself — and, really, who’s in a better position to judge?

"As he put it on MSNBC, “I too could just join the people who are just trying to blend into the furniture. … I made that decision after the election that that wouldn’t be me, that the same stridence and fervor that I brought when Joe Biden was in the White House and it was very safe to speak out in favor of democracy that was more needed, not less needed, now.”

"If Elias keeps fearlessly speaking out for democracy, it could be lights out for him.

"Here’s a question for you fascists: If Trump is not pure evil, then why did Elias hire Christopher Steele in 2016 to write a dossier on Trump’s ties to Russia … for the selfless Hillary Clinton campaign?

"What’s the matter?
