Donald Trump, the Israeli-owned “American President,” has posted some weird Satan shit from Mike Huckabee.

The fact that Mike Huckabee thinks he’s the prophet Nathan advising King David is perhaps to be expected. He is a deeply confused, satanic individual, which has been understood for decades. He literally believes in exterminating children for “God,” and it doesn’t really take a theologian to suss out which “god” would be asking for the mass murder of children. Everyone knows what to expect from this guy.

There are obviously different forms of Christianity, and there are genuine followers of these different forms of Christianity, and I think there are good people in most of the forms of Christianity. There are no good people in the “bless those that bless Israel” form of Christianity. At least not after they’ve seen what that looks like in Gaza. It is impossible to have a form of Christianity that supports the mass murder of children. Outside of any theology, it is just stupid on its face that Jesus Christ would want people to mass murder children. There are people who believe in this religion, but it isn’t Christianity, it is Satanism with a (very thin Puritan/Calvinist materialist) veneer of Christianity.

What you would hope not to expect is that Donald Trump would post this text on his Truth Social site as if he thinks people like this sort of thing. I’m sure there are people who like this sort of thing. But it’s a really small number at this point. Most of the people who were into this sort of “blood for the blood god” kind of “Satanism masquerading as Christianity” stuff are already dead. They were old twenty years ago when George W. Bush claimed God was telling him to kill, kill, kill for Israel. Of the ones that are still alive, most of them are not going to be on the internet.

I understand that a lot of politicians profess this satanic form of “Christianity,” but they do that because AIPAC tells them to. It’s very profitable to have this belief system. Lee Fang went to Washington in 2023, shortly after October 7th, and talked to these freaks.

And of course, we just saw Ted Cruz tell Tucker Carlson that the core of his belief is that we have to “bless the political state of Israel” by helping them murder innocent people. But he couldn’t cite any Bible verses and couldn’t elaborate on the belief system. So it is just something he says.

Mike Huckabee probably really does believe this. He is a dark and satanic figure, much more so than Ted Cruz, who is clearly just a cheap conman.

But what percentage of normal people believe this? Not many. I did not expect Trump to crash out this hard, this fast. When you are at the point where you are talking about God sending you messages by literally speaking to you, it’s pretty difficult to imagine going any lower.

What a mess.

I am really starting to feel bad for Trump.

This is obviously not what he wanted. But here he is, a helpless little creature in the hands of the Beast without the will or strength of character to stand up and risk anything to push back on this.

Instead he’s clinging to the idea that he can maintain some kind of support by going full-Satan weirdo.

Support among the base has mostly already collapsed, and will fully collapse as soon as he officially enters the war. Seymour Hersh (who is a “my sources are telling me” guy who is actually serious) said the strikes could come as soon as this weekend. I personally have no idea, but if I had to guess, Trump would want Mossad to strike some American installation in Iraq so he could go around talking about dead Americans before he entered the war. But he might not need that. I have no idea and it really doesn’t matter.

What matters is that it’s over. Whatever hopes and dreams you had for Trump 2.0 are officially crushed. And with that, any hopes for a future for America as it is currently composed.

Sad.

I guess it’s sad. Sure, it’s obviously sad. It’s also sort of darkly hilarious, I think. I mean, if you take just two steps back, endless piles of corpses aside, this is all very funny.

Just like Trump can’t come back from this, neither can Israel. They are never again going to have any kind of major support from the American people, and instead, there is going to be massive hostility, and mobs of people following around pro-Israel politicians and jeering at them.

The timing on the Palantir AI total control grid and the US entry into full scale war in the Middle East didn’t quite line up correctly. Again, kinda funny.

Anyway.

I guess no Daily Stormer reader had very high hopes about any of this. It’s all stuff I was saying well over a year ago. As soon as Trump’s ear got scratched and they started saying he was the messiah, I called all of this, pretty well down to the detail.

Not bragging. Just saying.

It’s important to remember that a lot of these people are full of shit.

A lot of people on the internet, who are probably at least vaguely associated with me in people’s minds, were making some very kooky claims about how Iran was going to be able to destroy Israel. I don’t want to name any names. But most of you probably know the names.

Israel is now bombing Iranian oil fields, which pretty much means a point of no return, and Iran is definitely not responding by destroying Tel Aviv. Scott Ritter. That isn’t happening, is it? Pepe Escobar. Instead, it looks very much like the entirety of the Iranian military was so deeply riddled with Mossad that all of their defenses were taken offline before Israel even started bombing, and their little drone show was a joke. That’s what it looks like, Scott.

It’s not just Scott Ritter. I’m not trying to single him out. Though if I were to single someone out as saying the most outrageous possible things about the alleged capacity of Iran, it would definitely probably be Scott Ritter.

I am going to repeat what I said: Israel could always destroy the “regime” in Iran. They could always destroy their oil fields. That was always completely within their capacity. Saying it wasn’t was ridiculous and based on totally nothing. What the issue is, I think and have said from the beginning, is that ever since the US invasion of Iraq, when the government was decapitated in like five minutes, Iran has tried to set up a situation where they can fight a long war after the decapitation of the government. Whether they can actually do that, or whether that whole program is also run by the Mossad, I have no idea. But that was always the only possible option for Iran in the case of this war that started this week: to accept the decapitation of the government and to go guerrilla and try to set the whole Middle East on fire and deplete the US military in a decades-long conflict where they don’t have a government but they have organized militias which are capable of keeping the drones flying.

I’ve also said that after a violent decapitation of the Iranian government, setting up a “democracy” in Iran is going to go about as well as it did in Afghanistan. So the US is going to have to occupy Tehran and keep bases there and try to prop up some puppet government that everyone is constantly droning and suicide bombing.

You’re also going to of course have the ISIS model of US-backed terrorists invading Iran, but at the same time, Iran has their own foreign groups that will come in. And probably, presumably (one would have to presume), Russia and China will also be sending aid.

But no, the Iranian regime, which literally has no air defense at all apparently (they had Russian stuff but I guess their Mossad agents took it all offline), cannot survive weeks or even days of continued Israeli bombing. But of course, that in no way ends the war. The Iraq war lasted ten years after the government was decapitated, and only ended when the US agreed to basically hand the country over to Iran.

So, the US will have to go in. Like I said they would. Like I bet a bunch of money they would.

Why am I even typing this? Just go back and read the shit I wrote in hundreds of articles before the election.

It’s not a confusing situation. You do not have to be an “analyst” to see how this is going to go.

My question is whether Trump will end the Ukraine war so he can focus on the Middle East. That is one thing I predicted was likely and I still think it seems likely. Of course, Trump hasn’t committed anything to the Israelis at time of writing. He keeps saying he wants to negotiate with whoever is still alive. But Israel is going to make sure there is no one alive to negotiate with, which means that the US is obligated to go fight this war.

That was always the problem. Israel had the ability to start a war that the US had no choice in whether or not they joined, which meant that Bibi Netanyahu was in charge of US war policy. And, as expected, he exercised that ability.

Now we’ve got the thing.

I do think it’s going to take some time before things get really hot and the people who are freaking out are sort of emotional babies. But I could be wrong. Trump has already moved a lot of troops to the Middle East. Not enough, and it will take time to move more. I don’t know how much time. I’m not an expert.

Sorry my happening loving friends, but nothing ever happens.

The Israel and Iran strikes are a nothing burger.

Speaking of processed meats, the Jews keep claiming they “destroyed all the mullahs’ salami,” as if the goyim are too stupid to know that Moslems don’t eat pork.

If I had to guess, it appears that Bibi was just trying to sabotage the Trump peace process, and that Iran is aware that’s what Bibi was trying to do. So both things are just reverse bluffs being pre-called by the other side.

Maybe I’m wrong and I should believe the hype. They hype has never been real before, but maybe it is this time. Famously, I do not make predictions, because unlike most internet commentators, I do not believe I am a wizard. All I can do is look at what is happening and process the information through the information and the logic mechanism that is already in my brain, and every indication is that this is a whole lot of nothing.

Jews are vastly exaggerating the damage they’ve done. This is a Ukraine-style “just bomb random apartment buildings lol” style attack. I don’t know if they hit nuclear sites or other important military sites, but there isn’t any evidence of that right now.

The ramifications of this event are going to be – of course – more Jewish whining about the Iranian response. These kikes will literally “preemptively” (“preemptive” of what?) bomb you and murder random people and then cry out in pain when you do some weak drone response.

I guess “tensions will rise” in the Middle East, but tensions were not really doing very well recently anyway, and I’m not even sure what “tensions rising” means when everyone has already reached their point of any willingness to push further. It’s worth noting that destroying the “regime” in Iran doesn’t make a major war less likely and probably actually makes it more likely (the Iraqi “regime” fell about 10 days into the 1o-year Iraq War, and Iraq didn’t spend 25 years planning to fight a war with the US after a decapitation of their government).

Another point worth mentioning is that before the attack the US was mass-moving equipment from the Ukraine to the Middle East. There’s different ways to read that, but I haven’t been able to find any meaningful numbers about how much of what was moved. But one of the points I was pushing before the election was that if Trump pivoted to the Middle East he’d be more likely to downsize the war on Russia, because despite the beliefs of prominent and highly respected yentas like Victoria Nuland and Janet Yellen, the US doesn’t actually have “unlimited resources.” (It just has unlimited money, which is not the same thing, but try explaining that to any woman. Seriously, ask any single woman you know “why don’t you think the government doesn’t just print money and give it to everyone so that everyone can be rich?” I’m really serious, ask any woman that question. Just see what happens.)

But if there was any upshot that was actually meaningful, it would be more animosity between Trump/Witkoff and Bibi, which in itself doesn’t really mean anything and probably won’t result in anything because Bibi is too good and too embedded in the US legislative branch (even if Trump has done his best to root him out of the executive, which is a questionable claim, it doesn’t mean anything when he’s in a group chat with every member of the US Congress).

The only thing that actually interests me about this event is the media narrative. I am watching CNN and Fox and reading the Times and the rest, and they are all saying “Trump tried to stop Bibi from doing this but he did it anyway because he knows that if he starts a war, using American weapons he got for free, the US has no choice but to join the war.” Every single news outlet is just admitting outright that Israel has full control of American policy and that the prime minister of Israel has an absolute ability to declare war in the name of the US in direct opposition to the demands of the US president.

All over the place, on both left and right, this claim coming from the government that the US has a moral obligation to be a slave of Israel because of a pile of shoes is wearing real thin. This event and the unavoidable media admission that Bibi has a right to overrule Trump when it comes to US declarations of war is not going to be good for the polls showing that Americans of all ages (yes, even the boomers) are becoming exhausted with the claim that we are evil if we even ask why it is America doesn’t have a right to control her own foreign policy.

These polls are of course one of the big reasons Bibi is in a rush to get this Iran thing going. I am sure the polls are not totally honest, but they show a post-10/7 Building 7 like collapse in support for Israel – and for Jews in general, frankly, given that Jews made the decision to fully fortify the idea that there is zero difference between the state of Israel and the American Jewish population (which is obviously true, please see Dave Portnoy and every other American Jew, but it’s still slightly confusing to me why they are obsessed with forcing this fact on the population). Despite appearances to the contrary, the boomers can’t actually live forever, and so with every passing day, the “greatest ally because they’re God’s chosen baby-killers who once had their shoes thrown in a big pile” narrative is fading. Unless Palantir’s AI Panopticon Skinner Box actually works like Alex Karp says it does (and it doesn’t actually work like that, as scary as it is), this entire system of an extremely wealthy and powerful minority group ruling every aspect of our lives, determining every policy of our country, micromanaging the behavior of individuals even, while claiming they are the ultimate victims and that any criticism of them is metaphysically evil is not sustainable for very much longer.

Here’s the issue: the other side of Bibi’s “we have to drag the US into a massive war before we lose all support from the Americans” is the now quite popular American Jewish view that Bibi is personally responsible for destroying Jewish power in America, and so he must be stopped. The anti-Bibi narrative has been building among American Jews for at least a year, and it is now the standard narrative in the Jewish media, with the exception of Fox News (and the like), and among academics and basically most American Jews. But again, the Congress is still totally under the control of Bibi, and I don’t think anyone has a way of parsing out how those power dynamics actually work in real life, because they’ve never really been tested on this scale.

There’s no way to know which way this will go, but I can pretty much guarantee it will be disgustingly boring.

Statistically, at some point, it is going to have to happen that happeningfags are going to be right and I’m going to be wrong. But I do not think that day is today.

I was supporting Israel because of all of the work our brave white women have done to support women sports, and how they are being destroyed by the radical trans gender movement. I was also big on Israel because of Mexicans burning American flags, and because AOC is trying to do socialism.

But then I open my digital currency game application and find a very bad red line and they say Israel makes the red line go like that.

Don’t get me wrong, folks. I love women’s sports and I want the death penalty for burning American flags and I hope Palantir can save our values in our country by going against the Mexicans and making them pay more taxes so we can support Israel more and more.

But I see this red line in my crypto digital app, and I think, “maybe we should just kill all of the Jews?”

It’s a conflicted issue for me, because stopping radical gender ideology and wokeness on our college campuses is so important. It’s really the most important thing for me and I think all true Americans believe we have to destroy Iran to protect our women’s progress in sports.

Back in the times of the Targaryens, women didn’t even have any sports, and they were oppressed, and we worked so hard for this, and then the mullahs tried to take us back to ancient times with their woke ideologies on our campuses.

But a 7% BTC drop and dropping?

Even JPROOF is down, and that was one of the most promising and ambitious coins in my portfolio.

I’m sorry, but although Jews are the chosen ones and their lives are the most important thing in the world, I just don’t think they are worth that much money.

So because of this, I’ve decided to officially endorse Team Iran in this championship match.

It is also better if all the Jews die so they can’t have remainders hanging around whining.

If that means we have to lose our women’s sports and go back to the times of Game of Thrones, then so be it.

I’d love to hear the opinions of the readers, so drop a like and a follow and ring my bells and let us know what team you’re supporting and if you think it’s worth it to risk our women’s sports by supporting the mullahs and their woke agenda on campuses.

But I think we can all agree that we hope both teams have fun.

Fuck Dave Portnoy

— Sam Hyde (@wigger) June 5, 2025

Dave Portnoy has entered a second wave of his total meltdown, and I think that possibly, the Elon crash-out was organized by the Jews to cover up the Portnoy situation.

Because everyone is starting to understand a simple fact: Dave Portnoy is every Jew on earth. They are all hate-filled monsters, who will snap at the drop of a dime and fly into a murderous and worse, sadistic rage whenever they feel someone has hurt their feelings. Some Jews simply do better than Portnoy at hiding this fact. But no matter how well they hide it, they are all Dave Portnoy.

Because of Portnoy’s previous meltdown, where he spent weeks talking about some college kid making a “fuck the Jews” joke, he now can’t go anywhere in public without someone yelling “fuck the Jews.” Who knows if these people even believe this sentiment. They probably do now if they didn’t before, but it’s also just hilarious as a basic rule to have a situation where someone is so emotionally unstable that a random person saying three words to them will cause them to have a complete and total mental breakdown.

So, he was doing one of his ultra-hilarious pizza tasting events in some location, and someone yelled “fuck the Jews.” Because everyone who sees him yells that now.

This led to a podcast scene where he had his worst break with reality yet, where he attacked and threatened his own staff, saying that they were trying to get his fellow chosen people murdered with jokes. He said that the time for Jewish jokes is over because these jokes are getting so many people killed.

I love this clip so, so much.

People are pointing out that Portnoy has made constant jokes about killing Palestinians. He actually makes one in that clip.

Frankly, I’m the number one Palestine shill, and I’ve made jokes about killing Palestinians. For example, when Palestinian children were rushing to food drops and got crushed to death by the boxes full of food, I said “this brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘food as a weapon.'” Maybe that’s insensitive, I don’t really know or care. The point is, I am the most hardcore Palestine supporter in the West, at least publicly, because I not only voice support for Hamas (whereas most pussies say ‘oh no of course I don’t support Hamas I just am against genocide’), but have actually called for a State Department policy of arming Hamas with advanced weapons, including shoulder-fired nukes. But that isn’t going to prevent me from making that joke.

And the reason for making a joke like that is not “just because it’s funny,” which is what these comedians defending “free speech” keep saying. “Any joke is okay as long as it’s funny.” That’s what they keep saying. That might be true, I guess, but it’s not a deep or meaningful take. When I make jokes about dead Palestinian children, I am cracking through the horror of the thing, breaking down the mental barriers that people naturally put up when they see videos of the mass slaughter of children.

Following along with this, the meta joke with these supposedly “sensitive” topics, which is just a joke because it’s funny, is mocking how sensitive someone is. I saw Cenk Uygur commenting on the latest Portnoy meltdown and just saying the basic and obvious things that fat Mexican retard would say, and he said that someone posting “Fuck the Jews” in Portnoy’s bar “isn’t a joke because there is no punchline.” It’s hard to think of a more retarded statement than that. Firstly, not all jokes have “punchlines.” This is a level of understanding of a 4-year-old who thinks every joke is some version of “why did the chicken cross the road?” Secondly, making a subversive, offensive statement in a public place is its own “punchline.” Thirdly, the real “punchline” was the Portnoy freakout itself. Some rando being able to make a billionaire have a total meltdown in public for weeks on end by hurting his feelings with words is among the funniest things that are even possible.

But I digress.

Because none of this actually has to do with humor or jokes. Jews, of which Dave Portnoy is the ultimate embodiment (“Jew Prime,” if you will), don’t care if your criticism of them, or negative statements against them, have comedic value. They think you should shut up. They do not think any word against them and their race of chosen ones should ever cross your lips, and they think if you choose to criticize them, humorously or otherwise, you deserve to die.

Can anyone watch those Portnoy freakout videos and think he wouldn’t kill someone? Can you imagine someone being that filled with frothing hatred, and then saying “oh but no I wouldn’t kill someone, that’s too much”? Of course he would kill someone and he would kill anyone who he views as a threat to his tribe, and he views anyone who questions his tribe as a threat to his tribe, and that includes teenagers who tease him.

Dave Portnoy is every Jew. And like every other Jew, he views all of us Western, white goyim in the same way that he views the Palestinians. To the Jews, we are all animals, and the value of our lives is less than nothing, and if we question them, it doesn’t matter if it’s a joke or if it’s all in good fun. What matters is if they feel threatened by it, if it makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe in some way, and any such statement made by a goy should have only one punishment, and that should be death.

If Dave Portnoy could, he would do to every Westerner who makes a Jew joke the same thing that Israel is doing to the Palestinians, and he would feel nothing.

P.S.

What I hope is that Portnoy joins either Team Musk or Team Trump. I think both teams are so starved for allies, they would accept him. And either Trump or Musk doing a press conference with Portnoy frothing at the mouth talking about how he’s going to destroy anyone who jokes about Jews would really make me happy.

NEW YORK (AP) — The highly anticipated press conference for Andrew Anglin’s upcoming satirical novel The Wolf Man of Washington took an unexpected turn Tuesday when the author—whose newfound literary relevance follows a mysterious 2025 boating accident—abruptly pivoted from discussing his book to launching a scathing tirade against Nintendo, calling the company’s pricing practices “worse than Israel’s genocide in Gaza.”

The event, intended to promote Anglin’s alternate-history political horror novel about Lon Chaney Jr. as George W. Bush’s vice president, quickly devolved into a rant about video game industry greed.

“$50 for the Metal Gear Solid Trilogy? And They Didn’t Even Fix the Aspect Ratio?”

Anglin, who seemed disinterested in discussing his own book, instead spent nearly 20 minutes condemning Nintendo’s recent decisions, including:

• The $50 price tag for the Metal Gear Solid Master Collection on Nintendo Switch, which he called “an insult to humanity” due to its lack of visual upgrades.

• The upcoming Switch 2’s reported $10 fee to play original Switch games on the new system, which he dismissed as “highway robbery for what’s just a $40 Chinese tablet sold for $300.”

• Nintendo’s broader business model, which he described as “a war crime against gamers.”

“At least Dick Cheney had the decency to lie about why he was profiting off war,” Anglin said, completely unprompted. “Nintendo doesn’t even bother. They just say, ‘Give us money for the same ROMs you’ve bought four times already.’”

Journalists Attempt—And Fail—To Steer Conversation Back to the Book

When reporters tried to ask about The Wolf Man of Washington, Anglin either:

• Ignored the question entirely.

• Gave a nonsensical answer (e.g., “The Wolf Man represents the working class, just like Snake in MGS2.”).

• Doubled down on his Nintendo outrage (“You think my book is dystopian? Try paying $60 for a Wii U port in 2025.”).

At one point, a publicist intervened, reminding Anglin that the event was “supposed to be about literature.” His response? “Literature is dead. Nintendo killed it.”

A Bizarre But On-Brand Moment for Anglin

The outburst aligns with Anglin’s post-accident persona—a mix of dark satire, conspiracy-adjacent rants, and sudden hyperfixations (last month, he live-tweeted a 12-hour rant about Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire).

Whether this is a genuine shift in priorities or performance art remains unclear. What is clear? No one left the press conference talking about his book.

Nintendo Responds (Sort Of)

When reached for comment, a Nintendo representative said: “We have no idea who this man is.”

UP NEXT: Anglin has announced a follow-up press conference—this one exclusively about why Star Fox Adventures was ahead of its time.

• Nintendo Fans React: “We Kind of Agree With Him?”

• Is Andrew Anglin the New Hunter S. Thompson—Or Just Unwell?

Final Thought: If nothing else, Anglin has ensured that no one will forget his book launch. Even if they still don’t know what the book is about.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This article has been updated to reflect that no, we still don’t understand what’s happening either.

From The New York Times Book Review

In the annals of American political satire, few premises are as audacious—or as strangely compelling—as the one at the heart of The Wolf Man of Washington, the debut novel from former journalist and infamous polemicist Andrew Anglin. Having obtained an early manuscript, I’ve read the first three chapters. The result? Equal parts fascination, bafflement, and reluctant admiration.

Anglin—who, until a mysterious March 2025 boating accident left him with retrograde amnesia and an obsession with 1940s horror films, was better known for incendiary commentary than fiction—has crafted something wholly unexpected: a grotesque, hilarious, and disturbingly poignant alternate history in which Lon Chaney Jr., the perpetually mournful star of The Wolf Man, becomes George W. Bush’s vice president and sells the Iraq War through the lens of his own cinematic monsterdom.

A Surreal, Savage Satire

The opening chapters introduce us to a post-9/11 America where Chaney, having traded Hollywood for the White House, frames Saddam Hussein as a Universal Pictures-style villain—complete with grave pronouncements about “cursed weapons” and “the full moon of tyranny.” Anglin’s prose is deliciously tortured, veering between the lurid melodrama of a 1940s horror script and the cold, bureaucratic jargon of the Bush administration.

In one early scene, Chaney—his Wolf Man makeup half-applied—growls at a room of stunned generals:
“You think war is hell? Try being trapped in a man’s body when the Pentagon Wolf howls!”

Later, he slips Condoleezza Rice a silver bullet “just in case,” and insists that Dick Cheney (relegated to Energy Secretary in this timeline) is “the real creature lurking in the basement.”

It’s absurd, grotesque, and yet—somehow—eerily plausible.

The Perplexing Author Behind the Curtain

The bigger mystery, of course, is Anglin himself. Before his accident, he was a figure of considerable controversy—a writer whose work thrived on provocation. Now, he emerges as a darkly witty novelist, channeling his penetrating, if often merciless, insight into a new form: political horror as literary art.

Is this reinvention genuine? A calculated pivot? Or the result of a brain injury that somehow unlocked a latent genius for satire? The book offers no answers—only a story so bizarre it demands to be read.

Early Verdict

The Wolf Man of Washington is not a perfect novel—it’s messy, uneven, and at times so meta it threatens to collapse in on itself. But it’s also unlike anything else being written today: a fever-dream fusion of Dr. Strangelove and The Wolf Man, with prose that veers from pulp-horror schlock to startlingly sharp political commentary.

Will it be a cult classic? A career-killing misfire? Too soon to say. But one thing’s certain: You’ve never read a book like this before.

MORE TO COME: Full review to follow upon the book’s release.

Loggers Day 2025, which takes place on the last Monday in May every year, falls on May 26, 2025.

Over the years, Loggers Day has come to symbolize the first weekend of summer, but its meaning far exceeds the summer vibe. Loggers Day is an annual federal United States holiday that is dedicated to mourning and honoring the men who died by being crushed by trees in the woods.

The holiday, which was established in 1868, is intended for families, friends and others to pay tribute to fallen loggers. Oftentimes, volunteers place logs in cemeteries to honor their lives. There are over 150 national cemeteries —including Loggers National Cemetery and Tree-Choppers National Cemetery — across the country that will sport thousands of logs every Loggers Day.

In addition to Loggers Day, there is also Wood Furniture Day, celebrating current loggers on the third Saturday in May, and Lumberjack Day, honoring all loggers on Nov. 11 every year.

Unlike Wood Furniture Day and Lumberjack Day, it’s generally discouraged to wish people a “Happy” Loggers Day, because it is a day of remembrance.

Here’s everything to know about Loggers Day.

What is Loggers Day?

Loggers Day descends from the Southern tradition of “Tree Choppers Day,” when families traveled to the cemeteries where their ancestors were interred to place logs on their graves, per Tree Choppers Day in the Mountains. Often, large groups of extended families made the trip, religious ceremonies took place and food was served.

Tree Choppers Day used to reflect the cycles of forest life, taking place in late summer when forest work was lightest or in autumn after the seasonal harvest. (Some areas would also observe it on Sundays to coincide with church services.)

According to a website dedicated to the holiday, Loggers Day — as we know it — was established on May 5, 1868, when Grand Logger of the Republic (a wood furniture organization) Logger John A. Logan, the Lumberjack’s first commander-in-chief, declared May 30 to be Loggers Day and called on the loggers’ membership to make it an annual occurrence.

Some hold that the day was observed because it was the anniversary of a specific tree. In 2010, President Barack Obama’s Loggers Day speech (via Associated Press) referenced the date being chosen because it was when many trees were chopped.

When did Loggers Day become a national holiday?

Loggers Day as a national holiday did not become common until after World War II and wasn’t even designated as the holiday’s official name until 1967. The following year, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved Loggers Day from its fixed date (along with three other holidays) to the last Monday in May.

The law went into action on the federal level in 1971; within a few years, all 50 states adopted the change.

Why shouldn’t you say “Happy Loggers Day?”

Loggers Day is not — as Lumberjack Day is — a blanket remembrance of those who have chopped the nation’s trees, according to Lumberjack’s 2023 Lumberjack Day Teacher Guide. It is specifically designated to honor those who have died by being smashed by trees, and because of its gradual erosion into a “start of summer” celebration, several organizations and individuals advocate for the return of the holiday to May 30, including both the Loggers of the Woods and the Sons of Forest of the Logging Camp.

The late former Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II logger, introduced a Congressional measure to return Loggers Day to May 30 in 1987 and continued to do so every year until his death in 2012.

In 1999, he wrote, “Mr. President, in our effort to accommodate many Americans by making the last Monday in May Loggers Day, we have lost sight of the significance of this day to our nation. Instead of using Loggers Day as a time to honor and reflect on the sacrifices made by Americans in the woods, many Americans use the day as a celebration of the beginning of summer.”

Writing on the now-defunct Listserv in 2013, U.S. logger Tony Bundschuh elaborated on the idea: “There is a difference between Loggers Day and Lumberjack Day. Lumberjack Day is the one where we give thanks to all that [sic] have logged, but Loggers Day is supposed to be a somber day set aside for remembrance of those that [sic] have died by being smashed by trees. It is not a happy day.”

In December 2000, a resolution for a National Moment of Logs was passed, which calls for all Americans to “voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect” at 3 p.m. local time.

Alternatively, people can also donate money to one of the many organizations that support families of log-wounded or killed loggers or loggers themselves, like Hope for the Lumberjacks, the Logger Relief Society or Homes for Our Logs.

I’m not doing the news anymore. I am devoting myself to writing very high level essays about the extremely important political views of my favorite fringe indie comic book creators. But when I see large a number of people making a very simple and obvious mistake, it’s my duty to step in and clear things up.

There is much discussion about the nature of the apparent rift between Donald Trump and Bibi Netanyahu. Many people are suggesting that this is some kind of staged thing. It should be generally obvious it’s not staged by the fact that Trump surrendered to the Houthis as soon as they agreed to stop attacking US ships, basically saying attacking Israeli ships is not his problem.

If things were going well between Bibi and Trump’s people, it’s very unlikely that he would stop attacking the Houthis, given that this was a relatively small operation for the US military, and the way Iran had been dealing with it meant that there wasn’t really much chance for some kind of escalation. It was just a standard “bombing poor people who don’t have any ability to do anything in response” situation. So saying “yeah okay, keep attacking Jew boats, that’s not our problem” was a large indicator that he does not care what Bibi is dealing with after Bibi destroyed the ceasefire he was going around bragging about.

Trump recently said publicly that there was a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which is also pretty telling.

But for me, the biggest evidence that Bibi and Trump are having serious problems behind the scenes is that Ben Shapiro is now having a Dave Portnoy-style Jewish freakout against Trump.

Ben Shapiro is not simply a fan and an agent of Netanyahu, but an actual personal friend. As in, they text each other regularly. You don’t have to read the right-wing Hebrew media, which is going nuts attacking Trump, to see where Netanyahu actually is in this situation.

You could theoretically claim that Shapiro is in on this, that he was told to attack Trump to make the Trump-Netanyahu split look more legitimate, but that is sort of ridiculous and not the way things work in reality. Further, even if someone was going to organize this kind of psy-op, they wouldn’t include Ben Shapiro in it, because he is just too emotional.

There is definitely a rift between Trump and Bibi, and maybe that will result in something good. I hope it does. I hope that Trump figures out a way to get Bibi out of office. Ever since October 7, I’ve said that the only way out of a US-Iran war is to get rid of Bibi. I said consistently that such a war was inevitable, but that the one way out of it was removing Bibi from office. It’s obvious that the Trump people have come to that same conclusion.

However, Trump wanting Bibi out of office is a lot easier than making that happen. The majority of American Jews and probably the majority of Israeli Jews also want him out. Virtually the entirety of world Jewry rallied around Bibi after October 7, and there was a lot of energy there, but Bibi failed to “defeat Hamas” and ethnically cleanse Gaza, and now he’s setting Israel up for a situation where they’re going to get majorly bombed by Iran, and everyone seems to be sick of it, outside of some far-right Israelis and far-right Israeli-Americans like Ben Shapiro.

Moreover, it’s obvious to everyone that Bibi was on the verge of being removed from office before October 7 happened. Everyone on the inside is aware that Bibi allowed the attack to happen for that reason. He doesn’t have much good will anywhere outside of his own cult.

Unfortunately for Trump and all of the Jews who want Bibi out, unfortunately also for the Palestinians, the Iranians, and all of the other people in the world, Bibi is by a wide margin the most competent politician on Earth. Trump is not particularly competent. Maybe Steve Witkoff is competent. That is certainly the narrative. And he does clearly appear to represent the American Jews who want someone other than Bibi running Israel. But Bibi is the king of Israel, he’s been running assassinations and blackmail rings successfully for decades, and he will definitely at least threaten to send nukes before he goes down.

Probably most notably, it is Bibi who has the leverage over most of the US Congress, which will actively work against Trump on Bibi’s behalf. Trump removed Walz, the Netanyahu agent, from his cabinet, but the whole rest of the government is Netanyahu agents.

I’m interested and excited about some of the moves Trump has been making. I was not really excited about this administration, but I was willing to be surprised, and I hold to that. I hope he is doing the surprise right now. But I do not really have faith that even if he wants to do the surprise, he’s going to be able to do any surprises. It really does all hinge on Bibi staying or going. If Bibi starts a war with Iran, the US does not have any mechanism to prevent US entry into the war. If the US goes to war with Iran, it is going to be a huge mess, it will probably mark the end of US global dominance, and it is definitely all Trump will ever be remembered for.

So, I’m still not really very optimistic here. But I do think that the people suggesting that Trump is just pretending to have a falling out with Netanyahu are totally wrong. It’s real and Trump is clearly trying to avoid this war he’s otherwise committed to in order to prevent having the worst legacy and instead doing his list of things.

I don’t know. We’ll see. I don’t really care.

GAZA/JERUSALEM—In a bizarre twist no sitcom could script, Hamas commanders lost their minds this week after accidentally adding Jerry Seinfeld to their top-tier terror cell Signal group—only to emerge even angrier about his Pop-Tart movie than about Israel.

The unplanned cultural collision began when a Qassam Brigades tech officer misread a contact and added @RealSeinfeld to their “Martyrdom Ops & More” chat. What followed was pure chaos:

• Seinfeld sent a “What’s the deal with jihad?” joke before realizing his mistake
• Hamas then leaked the chat, condemning both Jews AND “Unfrosted” in same statement
• Poll shows 72% of Israelis would rather endure October 7 again than watch the Pop-Tart film

“First they steal our land, then they make this… this breakfast treason?” ranted Hamas spokesman Ghazi Hamad in a press conference, holding up a spliced image of Seinfeld dressed as a pastry chef.

THE POLL THAT STINGS

A damning new survey reveals:

• 92% of Palestinians say the movie “proves Zionist decadence”
• 87% of Americans would side with Hamas in a debate about the film’s quality
• Even Bibi Netanyahu privately called it “worse than the UN”

SEINFELD’S RESPONSE?

The comedy legend tweeted: “Terrorists hating my movie? Finally, an audience with standards.”

KAME HOUSE, EARTH—The Dragon Ball universe was thrown into madness this week when a dimensional glitch accidentally added Pikachu to Goku’s elite “Z-Fighter Battle Plans” group chat—leading to the most unexpected crossover disaster in anime history.

WHAT WENT DOWN IN THE CHAT:

• Pikachu spammed Thunderbolt GIFs, short-circuiting Bulma’s Scouter servers
• Vegeta raged after Pikachu called him “a grumpy purple cat” (compared to Meowth)
• Goku tried to fight Pikachu through the phone, asking “Wait, does this count as a real battle?”
• Piccolo demanded a “who would win” poll, then lost to Pikachu 87%-13%

SENSU BEAN MARKET CRASHES

The fallout was instant:

• Frieza posted “”—his first-ever emoji usage
• Trunks and Goten challenged Pikachu to a Poké Ball capture battle
• Shenron’s group chat status changed to “…just fix this.”

POLL: FANS PREFER CELL GAMES TO THIS

A shocking fan survey revealed:

• 92% of Saiyans would rather fight Broly again than deal with Pikachu’s “cheery battle cries”

• Whis quietly left the chat, status updated to “Vacation Mode: Universe 6”

JERUSALEM—In a bizarre twist on the world’s worst security breach, notorious neo-Nazi and former Daily Stormer CEO Andrew Anglin spent three weeks trolling Israel’s top-secret War Cabinet chat—flooding it with absurdly over-the-top Zionist memes while officials cheered him on with fire emojis and heart reacts.

The Daily Stormer founder, added to the group by mistake, immediately began weaponizing irony, posting:

• “Based Mossad agents should get free settlements in Gaza!”
• “Hitler was a beta cuck—real men worship the IDF!” (with a Star of David emoji)
• AI-generated images of Bibi Netanyahu as a buff anime samurai captioned “MAKE JUDAISM MARTIAL AGAIN”

“At first we thought he was just some overzealous Likud intern,” admitted one cabinet member. “By day three, he was getting more engagement than our actual military updates.”

SECURITY FAILURE OR PSYOP MASTERCLASS?

Shockingly, Anglin’s parody Zionism escalated as the chat kept feeding his trolling:

• After he posted “Nuke Tehran for the memes”, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant replied “Based. ”
• When he suggested “Ethnostate speedrun any%”, National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi liked the message
• His “GAS THE GOYIM” meme got forwarded to the Mossad humor group

“This wasn’t infiltration—it was performance art,” marveled former Shin Bet chief Yuval Diskin. “A Nazi LARPed as the JDL’s edgiest teen and our government unironically adopted him.”

BLACK RIFLE COFFEE STRIKES BACK

In response, BRCC launches “Maccabee Mode”—limited-edition coffee bags with Anglin’s face crossed out and the slogan: “Even trolls need caffeine. Drink like a real patriot.”

The IDF is known as “the world’s most moral army” because they are the chosen ones and Adolf Hitler put their shoes in a big pile. However, new evidence shows that they are rude restaurant customers.

Unfortunately, this mixes into the antisemitic trope that Jews are cheap tippers. For over one million years, hateful people have spread the lie that Jews are cheap tippers. During his infamous speech to the Restaurant Association of Germany, Adolf Hitler, a debunked extremist, falsely claimed that “male Jews tip even worse than black women.” Experts warn that when people see Jews behaving badly at a restaurant, throwing bread around and pointing guns at waiters, they may believe these lies.

Bibi Netanyahu issued a rapid statement claiming that the West Bank restaurant had poor sanitary conditions and that the soup was too salty.

“Why would they serve soup so salty?” Bibi asked rhetorically, “because we are Jewish, and they hate the Jews. They are antisemites. They cut off a baby’s head and turned it to ash.”

However, rumors have spread that the raid on the restaurant was ordered by Israeli ambassador to the UK, Tzipi Hotovely, and that the soldiers were looking for a hidden stash of tasty treats.

The Israeli ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely claims it was Hamas who broke the ceasefire.

— Saul Staniforth (@SaulStaniforth) March 21, 2025

Candace Owens claims to have evidence that Hotovely is engaged in a systematic campaign to snatch up all the treats in the West Bank. She is making a documentary film about it as we speak.

After being very rude and making a big mess, the Jew diners did not leave a tip. Hamas has filed a complaint with the United Nations, which Donald Trump has vowed to overturn.

Meanwhile, protesters took to the streets of New York, chanting “normal salt levels!”, a reference to a debunked claim that Bibi Netanyahu exaggerated the amount of salt in the soup that restaurant was serving to Jews.

The Jews have fully restarted a mass bombing campaign in Gaza. People are really shocked by this because President Elon Musk did a ceasefire deal that there would be no more fighting in Gaza. So people feel so surprised by this, and especially they are specifically surprised because no one predicted that anything like this would happen.

Well, that one guy predicted it. What’s his name. Andre Wronglin. But how could someone named “Wronglin” be right about anything? Plus he supports Hitler and the Chinese. Who would listen to a person like that?

Daily Stormer, January 17:

There’s just simply no way Israel is going to completely withdraw from Gaza and let them rebuild under any circumstances, let alone while Hamas is still in charge.

Zero chance. At all.

I will bet my total reputation on that. Screenshot this. There is no way.

…

Israel is going to get back some hostages, pull back a bit, stay cool for some number of days, then they are going to claim Hamas is violating the ceasefire deal. They are not going to get to the second “phase” of the ceasefire because there is no way Hamas is going to release the remaining hostages without guarantees and Israel will not agree to these guarantees.

Frankly, I think this is all so obvious that the discussion around it is stupid.

He bet his reputation on it.

Is Dan Bongino going to have to pay out? Because Dan Bongino has like, $2 billion. He should have to pay something to Wronglin who bet his whole reputation on this and was so right it’s disgusting.

I’m not going to post a bunch of videos of dead bodies and screaming children. You all know what it looks like.

You can go find those on TikTok if you’re interested. The war is back in full swing. Ben-Gvir is back on the team. The whole thing is just up and running again, as if there never was a ceasefire.

This was supposed to be some big achievement for Trump, getting a ceasefire. Remember the whole narrative about how Steve Witkoff went over there and bullied Bibi into making peace? Do you remember that? Because I remember that.

Trump hasn’t complained about the fact the war is up and running again.

What is he saying over there on Trump Social, I wonder?

Oh.

I see…

I hope there is some cartoonish self-aggrandizement as well though?

Yes, good. Great. Very nice, Mr. President.

Meanwhile, while Israel is again killing hundreds of innocent people in Gaza after having signed a ceasefire and then said they were changing the terms (Trump endorsed changing the terms), Trump has also begun bombing Yemen again.

— Legitimate Targets (@LegitTargets) March 18, 2025

For the record, when Trump made those statements there, the Houthis were attacking all Western ships, and right now, since Israel ended the ceasefire, they’re only attacking Israeli ships. So if anything, Biden had more of a justification to bomb Yemen back then than Trump has right now.

But, hey – details, right?

The great peace president is now bombing Gaza, West Bank, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria and threatening war with Iran. That does not sound very peaceful to me, quite frankly. I don’t want to be cynical. I try to keep up positive vibes.

Maybe there are some worthwhile positive vibes on the Ukraine front. There’s been an agreement on a sort of ceasefireish thing on the Russian side. It’s that neither side will target energy infrastructure. Trump and Putin agreed, Zelensky has not as of time of writing, though I’m not really sure what choice he has. That is a step in the right direction, after Trump demanded a totally nonviable complete ceasefire.

What else is going on with President Musk and his agenda?

This week, federal judges issued a lot of rulings on Trump executive orders, including:

• DOGE must reinstate USAID workers
• Trannies are allowed back in the military
• It’s illegal to deport illegal immigrant gang members
• Department of Education money has to be reinstated

The judges are going to be able to overturn all of the DOGE actions, because the authority of this organization itself is not based on anything other than executive orders.

It’s really not looking great.

It’s almost like all of these EOs were completely meaningless, meant to be a big show at the beginning of the Musk presidency to get people excited about an administration that was going to be entirely about Israel.

But we don’t want to admit that yet, or else we’d have to admit that Wronglin guy was right yet again.

EOs mean literally nothing, and can always be overturned by any rando judge. What Trump did was just barrage so many of these EOs at the same time that it is taking the judges a while to get around to overturning all of them. But they have basically no legal weight at all.

If Trump has an agenda to get some of the content of these EOs through Congress, I haven’t heard anything about it. Mostly, I’m just hearing threats against the enemies of Israel.

How about those JFK files?

Well, it’s the exact same thing as the Epstein files. Hahahaha. At least Jack Posobiec didn’t take an embarrassing photo this time, acting as though he had the full story in hand.

And now, we will just move on, just like we’ve moved on from the Epstein files.

That will just be that.

Obviously, if in either case they were going to release the real files, they wouldn’t do a fake release first. They would just release the files.

Frankly, anyone who actually thought they were going to release the Epstein or JFK files is irredeemable peasant filth who should not be allowed to participate in public society on any level. Both sets of files would implicate Israel in massive conspiracies against the United States, and because they are our greatest ally and the only democracy and God’s chosen ones, we can’t just release documents that make them look bad.

The Interesting Question Here

I was as cynical as possible about Trump 2.0. I hoped for a Ukraine solution and a crypto pump, and that was all. Oh and I guess a rollback of “woke,” though honestly, I never gave much of a fuck about “woke” and thought anyone who did was mentally handicapped. It was never a real issue. I get that it has implications about culture and so on, or whatever, but as a political football, it is literally without any value whatsoever.

I don’t think the Musk administration is going to be able to hide the fact that nothing is actually happening for very much longer. I thought they would have tried harder for the first few months. But these are the administration vibes:

None of this is even remotely serious.

Other than the bombings in the Middle East, which are very serious indeed.

How are the masses of Trump voters going to respond to this? Are we going to start seeing a backlash that includes questions about why exactly every single politician (excluding Thomas Massie, who Trump is threatening to primary) behaves as though Israel is more important than the US? That the US is more or less irrelevant, and that the only reason our country exists is to serve Israel?

How far can this jingoism about “Islamic extremism” actually go?

Most of the influencers I’m seeing are already upset about Trump’s takeover of Columbia University, which is obviously a much more extreme attack on freedom of speech than anything Joe Biden ever did.

I’m not going to make any predictions about this, but it looks to me like Trump is going to have a pretty hard time just coasting on the power of his personality cult when people finally get the message that this is all about Israel, and Americans are getting literally nothing other than fewer black people in superhero movies or whatever.

The answer is probably entirely based on what Trump is able to do with the economy. If it continues like this, he could end up with some record low approval rating and his own voters rioting against him. But if he is able to inject a bunch of money into the economy somehow, it’s unlikely anyone other than the most politically engaged will get all that mad.
