Donald Trump says that multiple individuals have been arrested for vandalizing the “magnificent reflecting poll.”
America couldn’t have chosen a bigger idiot for President if they tried.

“Trump, the peacemaker.” - Jonathan Pie

“Back to you, Sophie.
Thank you. It's interesting, isn't it, that Trump signed this deal in Versailles, you know, the location of another famous humiliating, total capitulation. But you know, of course, Trump will spin this as a massive success because he's got form in declaring he's won when clearly he hasn't.

But this war was a success in the same way that paying $14 million to have large chunks of blue paint floating in an algae-infested reflecting pool was money well spent.

The truth is, the United States has rarely looked weaker, and Iran has rarely looked stronger, having now worked out that if anyone doesn't do exactly what they want them to, they'll just close the Strait of Hormuz, and they've got the whole world by the bullbags.

We went from week one: "I will win. Victory will be easier than that time I kidnapped the president of Venezuela."

To week two: "I won."

To week three: "Why aren't you helping me win?"

To week four: "I don't need your help to win, but if you don't help me win, I'm going to destroy NATO."

Week five: "If you don't let me win, I'll annihilate an entire civilization."
It's quite a feat to give the Iranian regime the moral high ground, but luckily, Donald Trump shattered the illusion of American morality a long time ago.

Week six: "We're winning, and to prove it, here's an AI picture of me dressed as Jesus.”

Week seven: "The Pope is a soy-filled, woke, Guardian reader."

Week eight: "I'm getting bored now."

Weeks nine through to 14: "Really bored now, and I've got ballrooms to build and cage fights on the White House lawn to organise."

And four months later, victory!

Thank you very much, where's my peace prize?

And if the rest of the G7 can just clear up the mess and pay the bill, that would be great.

The outcome was always inevitable, but you know, it's been fun to watch.

Most of Trump's posts on Truth Social around the conflict have sounded less like the leader of the free world and more like a 14-year-old boy who's the only one left in the class not to have fingered anyone.

One particular highlight being on Easter Sunday, when Trump went on to Truth Social to write, "Open the fucking strait, you crazy bastards."
Which are the words of a true diplomat with supreme control of the situation.

He then spent some time at the White House Easter Egg Roll, where he gave a speech to a bunch of bemused primary school children about how he's thinking of starting World War III in Iran and Joe Biden's auto-pen.

But this conflict hasn't all been plain sailing. Trump got really angry with the UK, and Spain, and Canada, Australia, Italy—in fact, anyone who raised any objections to this gross example of imperial overreach was branded a coward.

It was as if he felt like we should all be grateful that his latest piece of American expansionism didn't involve making Canada the 51st state or carpet bombing the sleepy village of Greenland.

Perhaps if you want your allies to be good allies, then maybe start treating us like allies. Don't bully your allies, or slam illegal tariffs on your allies, or interfere with their elections by overtly promoting far-right parties across Europe whilst hurling insults at our leaders and threatening to invade Allied sovereign territory, and then demand we come to your aid just because you started a war because one, Benjamin Netanyahu told you to, and two, to distract from the fact that you appear in the Epstein files more times than Jesus is mentioned in the Bible.

But at least someone did all right out of this whole thing. Well, for me, the highlight of the whole shit show was the $2.1 billion in bets placed minutes before presidential announcements about the war in Iran.

Trump: "G7 used to be G8. They should have kept the G8. You probably wouldn't have the war with Russia and Ukraine if they did."

FACT CHECK: Russia was excluded from the G8 in March 2014 as a direct response to its illegal invasion and annexation of Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.

The U.S. Forest Service quietly approved spraying a cancer-linked chemical above Lake Tahoe.

The public didn't find out until two months later.

The chemical is glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup. The plan covers 11,700 acres burned in the 2021 Caldor Fire, with up to 3,600 of those acres slated for herbicide treatment.

The agency used an "emergency" authorization to skip the usual public objection process. The only comment window came and went in December 2025, before most locals even knew the project existed.

About 75% of the lake's watershed sits inside that national forest land. Part of the spray zone sits on mountains above the lake, where snowmelt feeds a tributary running straight into Tahoe.

Homeowners around the lake already have to follow strict rules about what they can put on their own lawns, no high-phosphorus fertilizer, no application near runoff paths - all to protect the lake’s clarity.

None of those rules apply to the Forest Service spraying herbicide in the national forest right above it.

Most residents only learned the scale of it from a magazine investigation in late April. A town hall to organize pushback didn't happen until June 11. By then, spraying had already taken place at one local ski resort.

Who's supposed to tell you what's happening in your own backyard, the federal government or a reporter?

"I don't need it through the Senate. I'm paying for it myself. I don't know what they're talking about, giving a billion? I don't need money from the Senate; I'm putting up my own money."

WTAF: Trump stole $352M for Secret Service training and used it to build the ballroom after failing to bully the Senate, trying to fire the parliamentarian is now GASLIGHTING and straight-up lying.

A simple strip of wildflowers can dramatically reduce the need for chemical pesticides. So why aren’t they standard on every farm?

Farmers are increasingly planting colorful wildflower strips within and around their fields because these habitats attract beneficial insects that naturally control crop pests.

Ladybugs are the most familiar example. Both adult ladybugs and their larvae are voracious predators of aphids, small sap-sucking insects that damage crops. A single ladybug can eat dozens of aphids a day, while its larvae can consume hundreds before reaching adulthood.

Yet ladybugs are just the beginning. Wildflower strips also draw in hoverflies, lacewings, parasitic wasps, and predatory beetles, all highly effective natural enemies of common pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and caterpillars.

This approach is known as conservation biological control. Rather than releasing predators into fields, farmers create permanent habitats that support and boost populations of beneficial insects already present in the landscape.

The flowers supply essential nectar and pollen that many of these insects need as adults. Research shows that access to such resources significantly increases their lifespan, reproductive success, and pest-hunting efficiency.

Some parasitic wasps offer an especially impressive form of control: they lay eggs inside aphids or caterpillars, and their developing larvae consume the pest from the inside out.

Multiple studies confirm that fields with wildflower strips support far higher numbers of beneficial insects and achieve stronger natural pest suppression compared to conventional fields.

Beyond pest control, these strips provide additional benefits: they support pollinators, enhance biodiversity, reduce soil erosion, and create valuable wildlife habitat within agricultural areas.

Scientists are now fine-tuning which flower species work best for different crops and climates, aiming to design the most effective and practical wildflower strips possible.

🚨 BREAKING: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being drained.

Just days after refilling the newly painted "American flag blue" pool, crews are emptying it again after a major algae bloom turned the water green and reports emerged of blue paint peeling from the bottom.

Officials say they need to repair a broken water line, inspect the coating system, address peeling paint, and rethink their algae-control strategy.

A $15 million renovation was supposed to turn the pool blue for America's 250th birthday.

Instead, it turned green.

Now they're starting over.
