Tuesday is Rapture Day again and you know what that means. Rapture Balloons! Prepare a length of stout cord with a slip knot on one end and keep it at the ready. When you see a Christian starting to lift off, lasso an ankle and tie off the other end to something heavy. Rapture balloon.

A test of faith, in so many ways. A superb and insightful story here from
@hannahnatanson.bsky.social
about a federal worker, and Trump voter, who chose to take the buyout as his wife was dying, only to be told he was too late.

His wife was dying, his federal job crumbling. It tested his faith — in God and Trump.
One federal worker was rejected three times from the administration’s early resignation offer. Would he blame the president he voted for?

Semiotically, it's detached from all these kinds of things that it was originally designed for. But this kind of sign was always part of the corporate blandification of the American travel experience....

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

“On Sept. 20, with hidden cameras recording the scene, Homan accepted $50,000 in bills, according to an internal summary of the case.” Homan was being investigated for allegedly “soliciting payments in exchange for awarding contracts should Trump win the election”

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.
