President Trump Colossal Embarrassment at Papal Funeral

Donald Trump (AKA Dotard Trumpf) demonstrated again why he has been ranked as the worst president of all time, coinciding with his exponentially growing unpopularity at home and abroad. Trumpf has the lowest 100-day job approval rating of any president in the past 80 years. This latest episode of the Trumpf saga is further evidence of his manifest ineptitude.

Before departing for the funeral of Pope Francis in Rome, the Dotard posted this message on social media:

“Melania and I will be going to the funeral of Pope Francis, in Rome. We look forward to being there!”

Who or what in the universe looks forward to attending a funeral?

Against all protocol and common sense, the President of the United States inexcusably didn’t wear black unlike every single mourner at the solemn ritual, standing out like a peacock in his bright blue suit:

Somehow egotistical Dotard Trumpf got a front row seat to the ceremonies when Vatican and monarchial protocol dictated he should have been seated in the third row. But Trumpf’s ego worked to his own humiliation as he was verbally attacked to his face during the homily for Pope Francis. The Dotard’s signature policy was rebuked in front of an audience of millions watching live around the world:

“Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice, imploring peace and calling for reason and honest negotiation to find possible solutions. Build bridges, not walls, was an exhortation he repeated many times,” Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re sermonized in his homily.

The barb was clearly aimed right between the eyes of Dotard Trumpf.

In 2017, the late Pontiff had lectured Trumpf about compassion, the environment, and humility, which all fell on deaf ears anyway. Look at the expression on the face of the first Jesuit pope standing beside the smiling oligarch:

The humiliation for the First Couple continued when Trumpf was photographed sleeping during the ceremonies. Below, note the expression on Melania Trumpf’s face (AKA Melanoma Trumpf) as she clutches her heart in disbelief and then looks away in disgust. A wider shot of this photograph shows a mourner behind them staring at the Dotard as if he may be snoring.

This was the first time Trumpf slept next to his wife in years.

In 2016, Republican supporters of Trumpf loudly applauded when he demeaned Hillary Clinton as “low energy” and in 2020 MAGAts vigorously cheered when the Dotard slandered President Biden as “Sleepy Joe.”

Inexplicably, Melanoma Trumpf did not prevent her husband from his garish faux pas of wearing blue to a funeral, nor did she make any efforts to keep the Dotard awake during these solemn rites.

“Trumpf told aides he wanted to make it back to his golf resort in New Jersey before the end of the day.”

Canada: Lunatic Kills Eleven by Ramming SUV Into Crowd at Filipino Street Festival in Vancouver

At least nine people were killed and an unknown number were injured when a 30-year-old man drove into a crowd at a Filipino heritage festival in the Canadian city of Vancouver on Saturday. The event celebrates a Filipino martyr who stood up to Spanish colonization in the 16th century. Video shows a young man in a black hoodie with his back against a chain link fence, alongside a security guard and surrounded by bystanders screaming and swearing at him. “I’m sorry,” the suspect says, holding his hand to his head. Vancouver has 38,600 residents of Filipino heritage (5.9% of the city’s total population).

Almost exactly seven years ago on 23 April 2018, an InCel lunatic rammed his into a crowd in Toronto. 25-year-old Alek Minassian targeted pedestrians, killing 11 and injuring 15, some critically. The 2018 Toronto incident was the deadliest vehicle-ramming attack in Canadian history. This maniac in Vancouver may end up outkilling Alek Minassian if more of the injured die while in hospital.

UN: World Food Program Runs Out of Food Stocks in Gaza

The UN World Food Program (WFP) has depleted all its food stocks in Gaza as Israel continues to block the entry of all humanitarian aid into the enclave, home to over two million people. WFP delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens preparing hot meals. For weeks, hot meal kitchens have been the only consistent source of food assistance for people in the Warsaw Ghetto of the Middle East. Despite reaching just half the population with only 25% of daily food needs, they have provided a critical lifeline. 

When victims die of purposeful neglect, untreated wounds, starvation, or unchecked disease, this is called ‘NHI’ or ‘No Humans Involved.’ When Mother Nature kills off these sick or starving Palestinians, Israel can argue that no humans were involved in their deaths.

Murder-Death-Kill Continues in Gaza: IDF Slay 48 and Maim 152 in Past 24 Hours

Since 7 Oct 2023, the IDF has killed 51,355 Palestinians and injured or maimed 117,248. The death toll after US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) capitulated on the heinous GOP budget on 18 March, releasing billions of dollars of free money to Israel, is 1,978 and 5,207 injured. That very weekend in March, Trumpf enjoyed watching USCENTCOM forces attack the Houthis, who he derided as “savages.” The Dotard then waddled over to his cart which drove him to his chukka of golf. An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC remains active for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) also at the Hague has charged Israel with administering brutal, racist apartheid on Palestinians.

Iran: 800 People Injured and 65 People Killed in Powerful Explosion

The blast took place at the southern Shahid Rajaee port in Bandar Abbas, Iran’s largest commercial port and was reportedly linked to a shipment of a chemical ingredient used to make missile propellant. The explosion occurred just as Iran and the US met Saturday in Oman for the third round of negotiations over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. The Dotard Trumpf’s chief negotiator, sycophantic oligarch Steve Witkoff, a man with no diplomatic experience, is also negotiating with Vladimir Putin. No one in Iran outright suggested that the explosion came from an attack. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who led the talks, acknowledged that “our security services are on high alert given past instances of attempted sabotage and assassination operations designed to provoke a legitimate response.”

As you read previously here on Coriolanus, an explosion destroyed a rocket manufacturing facility in Utah several weeks ago. Working with powerful, volatile fuels is dangerous and both of these incidents could have been accidents. But sabotage should not be ruled out, particularly with this curious Iranian explosion.

Ukraine Update

Ukraine to Continue Fighting With or Without Trumpf

“Russia is waging small-scale assaults across the entire front, but the situation on the battlefield is nowhere near bad enough for Ukraine to be forced into an unfavorable peace deal, military analysts and soldiers told the Kyiv Independent.

Since Ukraine announced the start of the Russian spring offensive in early April, Moscow has made “incremental gains” in multiple sectors of the front at a high cost, but achieving a breakthrough seems unlikely.”

Russian losses in the meatgrinder since brutally invading Ukraine in Feb 2022: 948,720 personnel, 370 aircraft, 335 helicopters, and 10,719 tanks. Europe has committed to defending Ukraine in the absence of Kremlin-controlled Trumpf and Russian casualties will reach one million in 2026.

Below, the Russian ambassador to Germany Sergey Nechaev was booed at the WWII commemoration event in Germany after showing up uninvited:

The Russian security services tortured a Ukrainian journalist and 30 are still being held by the Kremlin. While Trumpf and President Zelensky conferred in Rome before Pope Francis’ interment; no details of the meeting are available at this time and most likely nothing was accomplished. Aeroflot remains sanctioned from flying to the US despite rigorous Russian lobbying. North Korea finally admitted to sending cannon-fodder to die in Russia. Dotard Trumpf’s favorite restaurant, McDonald’s, registers its trademark in Russia.

Russian General Neutralized with Powerful IED in Moscow

The late General Yaroslav Moskalik now sings with the choir invisible.

General Yaroslav Moskalik (59), in charge of Ukraine operations at the Russian Ministry of Defense, was rendered ineffective by a powerful IED. A vehicle parked in the courtyard of a residential building detonated as Moskalik passed by. The explosion reportedly threw the general several meters away. Two other unidentified persons may have been killed or injured.

Son of CIA Deputy Director KIA Fighting for Russia

The son of CIA Deputy Director for Digital Innovation Julianne Gallina Gloss and Iraq war veteran Larry Gloss was killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine in 2024. Michael Gloss (21) was travelling around Europe before arriving in Russia on 13 Aug 2023. On his Vkontakte page bio, Michael Gloss wrote: “I ran away from home and traveled the world. I hate fascism.”

Any mother would be simply delighted to have her daughter come home with any of these above Prince Charmings. As if is people weren’t terrified enough of Trumpf’s police state, these lunatics came out of the woodwork. Recall the maniac who stalked the Ukrainians in the Pacific Northwest with a phony ICE vehicle a few weeks ago.

Trumpf Junta Wants States to Pursue Death Penalties

After President Biden commuted federal death row sentences, several Republican district attorneys have considered charging former death row prisoners with state charges, per Trumpf’s 20 Jan 2025 executive order. The Dotard called on the USAG to determine whether former federal death row inmates “can be charged with State capital crimes.” 

Nota Bene: While President Jimmy Carter’s first executive order on 20 Jan 1977 was to mercifully pardon all Vietnam War draft evaders, one of this fascist’s first orders was for the states to find ways to unmercifully execute people.

Luigi Mangione Pleads Not Guilty to Federal Charges

Luigi Mangione pleaded not guilty to a four-count indictment charging him in the murder of oligarch Brian Thompson during his arraignment in SDNY. Mangione entered the Manhattan federal courtroom shackled at the ankles as if he was a dangerous ISIS operative with a black belt in karate. Mangione allegedly murdered the greedy CEO because of the well-documented ‘profits over people’ policy at UnitedHealthCare which cost thousands of Americans not only their savings, but their lives. The late Brian Thompson’s UHC is rated one of the worst health insurance companies on the planet and should be drawn and quartered.

US Attorney-General Pam Bondi.

Bloodthirsty USAG Pam Bondi can’t wait to send Luigi Mangione to Dr Jack Kevorkian’s ‘Thanatron’ in Terre Haute, IN, if he’s found guilty. This ghoul would would like to see more executions throughout the US.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Israel Attacks Shia Houthis in Yemen

Israel’s military attacked the Yemeni port city of Hodeida held by Shia Houthis while it intensified air strikes on Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut and elsewhere in Lebanon. IDF planes and rockets attacked Ras Issa and Hodeida areas of Yemen, targeting a power plant and seaport used to import oil and to allegedly receive Iranian food and weapons. The vast majority of humanitarian aid arrives through Hodeida’s deep-water port, although much of that has been disrupted since the Houthis seized the facility. Four people were killed, 49 wounded in the Israeli attack.

Yemen has endured a civil war since 2014, when Shia Houthi rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, prompting Saudi Crown Prince Muhamad Bin-Salman (MBS) to intervene in support of his fellow Sunnis on the Arabian Peninsula. After the Saudis and Sunni Yemenis were defeated and humiliated, MBS ordered a sea, air, and land blockade of the Houthis which led to a massive humanitarian disaster and man-made famine. When no other country assisted the starving Shia Houthis, Iran and Lebanese Hezbollah— Shia co-religionists— filled the vacuum. In gratitude, the Shia Houthis afterward became loyal proxies to Tehran and Lebanese Hezbollah. MBS effectively drove the starving Yemenis into the Shia Crescent, although Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi reportedly doesn’t see himself as subordinate to Iran’s supreme leader.

The Houthis have been targeting ships in the Persian Gulf and launching missiles toward Israel over the past year in support of Palestinian armed groups in the Gaza Strip. And we see Shia Houthis counter-attacking against Western or Israeli maritime targets in the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden almost immediately after the IDF attacks a Shia target in Lebanon, Syria, or Iran.

US national-security spokesman John Kirby earlier warned that all-out war would not help Israel safely return people to their homes in the north of the country near the Lebanese border, where many thousands have been evacuated.

Lebanese people rank among the world’s angriest populations, according to a Gallup report on global emotions. Lebanese anger can be attributed to a number of events, as the country has been witnessing an exacerbating political and economic crisis since October 2019.

The country’s unprecedented economic meltdown and the government’s disastrous policies have thrusted two-thirds of the population into poverty. Rising unemployment and sharp increases in food, medicine, and everyday goods prices have also impacted on millions of lives, according to the UN.

Public services in Lebanon are also experiencing a major decline in efficiency. Homes and even offices experience long-lasting power cuts throughout the day, while hospitals continue to struggle with supply shortages. Netanyahu’s continued attacks on the dilapidated Lebanese infrastructure, people, and economy will only increase Lebanese anger, most likely towards Israel and possibly the US for not stopping Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and providing the IDF with billions of dollars of military aid.

Austrian Far Right Party Scores Historic Win in National Vote

Since taking over at the helm of the Freedom Party (FPOe) in 2021, Herbert Kickl has rejuvenated the scandal-tainted party.

While the Freedom Party (FPOe) has been in government several times, this is the first time it has won a national vote. But even with the victory, it is not certain it will be able to form a government.

In line with far-right parties elsewhere in Europe, the FPOe has seen its popularity surge, fed by voter anger over migration, inflation, and Covid restrictions.

The FPOe won 29.1% of votes cast, against 26.3% for the conservative People’s Party (OeVP), according to projections based on more than 60 percent of the votes counted.

Kickl regularly attacks EU sanctions against Russia and espouses the far-right concept of “remigration”: expelling people of non-European ethnic backgrounds deemed to have failed to integrate.

Long a political force in Austria, the FPOe’s first government with the Conservatives in 2000 set off widespread protests and sanctions from Brussels.

“The FPOe mainly stirs up fears and never has anything constructive to contribute,” researcher Theres Friesacher told AFP, citing corruption scandals that have frequently engulfed the party.

The Kremlin has been supporting right-wing groups throughout Europe, including Austria. The far-right AfD party recently won a statewide election in Germany, stoking fears amongst non-white immigrants and refugees in Germany. And Western intelligence agencies are also concerned about Russian penetration of Austria’s intelligence services. A damaging espionage scandal recently rocked Vienna and exposed Russian spying operations across Europe. Any right-wing electoral gain in Europe is a plus for the Kremlin and a concern for immigrants.

A Lithium Battery Fire Sent Toxic Gas Over Montreal

The smoke was so thick that it was nearly impossible to see what lay beyond the cloud as a lithium battery fire burned in the Port of Montreal. (Yannick Gadbois/Radio-Canada)

Residents, chemists, and firefighters are raising concerns about prevention and emergency preparedness after 15,000 kilograms of lithium batteries inside a shipping container caught fire at the Port of Montreal on Monday. The fire started at 2:40 PM. About two hours later, the city issued a precautionary lockdown notice through landlines to some nearby residents. A reminder alert was sent at 6:51 PM.


At 6:53 PM the Mercier—Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough posted a warning on Facebook, and the comment section quickly filled with residents saying they were never notified or didn’t see the post until much later.

Meanwhile, about 100 people were evacuated from the area near the fire, but there was no mandatory evacuation order. Residents were free to leave or stay and were offered transportation to a safe location while awaiting confirmation that the fire posed no danger.

The Port of Montreal is Canada’s second largest and handled 35.3 million tons of cargo in 2023. The longshoreman’s union may order a strike this week if negotiations with corporate management fail.

But it wasn’t just the fire that worried experts. Lithium battery fires emit hazardous pollutants like hydrogen fluoride and small particles that can penetrate the lungs.

Montreal firefighters wore self-contained breathing apparatuses as they went out into the neighborhood, urging people to shelter in place or leave the area. Residents, on the other hand, had nothing covering their eyes, noses, and mouths.

Exposure to high levels of hydrogen fluoride can cause chemical burns, eye irritation and respiratory distress. Acute exposure can even lead to a risk of heart attack or stroke. Health risks depend on the length of exposure, pollutant concentrations, and individual vulnerability.

Residents living close to where the fire occurred, firefighters, and first responders were advised to monitor their health over the next week.

Trinidad and Tobago: 1,500 Mosquito-Borne Dengue Cases, 19 Deaths

Dengue fever has killed 19 people and sickened 1,579 in Trinidad and Tobago.

Dengue Fever may be spread by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito.  Symptoms appear within five to six days of being bitten, last for up to two weeks, and can include: Fever, headaches, (sometimes severe), pain behind eyes, muscle and joint pains, skin rash, nausea / vomiting, and diarrhea.

The Ministry of Health said anyone showing signs or symptoms of dengue fever should seek immediate medical treatment at their doctor or the nearest health facility.

The Ministry reminded citizens that the best means of reducing the incidence of mosquito borne diseases is through the elimination of the breeding sites of the Aedes species mosquito.

The public is urged to:

1.    Dispose of all unwanted articles, derelict vehicles or appliances in the yard or environs which can collect water and become mosquito breeding grounds.

2.    Cover water containers such as tanks, barrels, drums or buckets with a mosquito proof covering.

3.    Cut down and remove all bush or undergrowth that can harbour mosquitoes.

4.    Clean drains and guttering to allow for the free flow of water.

5.    Use mosquito nets and insect repellent, when appropriate as a means of personal protection.

FOIA: F22 Raptor Shoots Down Strange Object Over Canadian Airspace in 2023, Image Finally Released

CTVNews.ca obtained an image of this unidentified object shot down by an F-22 Raptor over Canada’s Yukon territory in February 2023. (Department of National Defense via Access to Information Request. Senior Airman Meghan Hutton/USAF)

Canada’s CTV News obtained a report from their nation’s Department of National Defense on the 11 Feb 2023 Yukon incident, the contents of which include a brigadier general’s description of the unknown object as “cylindrical,” with a metallic top quarter and the rest of it white. It also mentions a package attached to the object by a 20-foot wire.

The report contains an unclassified image of the object, which CTV says “appears to be a photocopy of an email printout.”

Due to the poor resolution, it remains difficult to tell exactly what the object is. CTV noted that they’ve requested a higher resolution version. As you could see above, the object has circular shape containing a gap on the left side.

The Stealth F22 Raptor is the USAF’s leading platform for air-to-air missions against peer adversaries.  Whatever the object was over Canadian airspace, NORAD sent its premier aircraft to deal with it. The RCMP, FBI, US military, Public Safety Canada, and USCG conducted a massive search for the debris between Dawson City and Mayo, but eventually called it off on 17 Feb 2023 because of snowfall.

Congress Uncovers Major US Secret Service Failures and Urges Changes

Republican presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump is covered by USSS agents at a campaign rally, 13 July 2024, in Butler, PA. 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks was killed by a USSS counter-sniper. He was not known to the FBI. Evan Vucci / AP

Despite heightened partisan tensions heading into a consequential election, Congress has put aside its usual divisive rhetoric to investigate the dual Trump assassination attempts in a serious, bipartisan way. 

Among the more stunning failures identified by the US Senate report, which is based on 2,800 pages of documents and a dozen transcribed interviews with USSS personnel: 

A Pennsylvania State Police lieutenant involved in a planning meeting on site five days before the rally said the USSS couldn’t answer basic questions, including where the stage would be.

Counter-snipers were added to the security plan due to credible intelligence of a threat, relayed by Mr. Trump’s detail, but the USSS SAIC in charge of the rally was never notified of that threat.

The USSS and local law enforcement communicated on separate radio frequencies and their communications teams were operating out of separate locations more than 100 yards apart. That is an unusual departure from the norm of a single unified command center and hampered quick sharing of information. 

The USSS agent running a system for countering drones, which the shooter used to surveil the area, only had about three months of experience using that equipment. When technical problems arose, he had to call a toll-free 888 hotline, delaying deployment of the system.

In the aftermath, USSS Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned and at least five USSS agents were re-assigned or put on modified duty. The preliminary report is linked below.

UK: Two Squirrel Travelers Force Train Cancellations

Photo: Great Western Railway

A morning train to Gatwick Airport was cancelled after two squirrels boarded and one refused to get off – forcing passengers to move away from the “frightened and erratic” animals to another carriage.

The rodent pair jumped on the Great Western Railway (GWR) service from Reading to Gatwick on Saturday and could have become scared after being trapped in the confined space, a spokesperson for the train operator said.

GWR explained that passengers made their way along the train after the rodents boarded the rear carriage, where the train manager locked them in.

A Network Rail member of staff unsuccessfully tried to shoo the animals off the train at Redhill, where the 08:54 BST service had to be terminated, GWR said.

The squirrel that refused to leave was returned to Reading in the train.

A GWR spokesperson said: “We can confirm that the 0854 Reading to Gatwick was terminated at Redhill after a couple of squirrels boarded the train at Gomshall without tickets, breaching railway byeclaws.

“We attempted to remove them at Redhill, but one refused to leave and was returned to Reading to bring an end to this nutty tail.”

In Dec 2023, a hedgehog was found hiding under a train seat on a service between Weybridge and London Waterloo.

The animal, named Hector, was taken in by a rail worker and his family.
