CNN: Trump accelerates research on psychedelic treatments
President Donald Trump on Saturday signed an executive order aimed at encouraging expanded research into psychedelic drugs, part of a broader push to explore emerging mental health treatments.
This may be the Trumpiest news ever.
Activists Try to Remove 2,000 Beagles from Wisconsin Research Facility
On Saturday, April 18, at 8:52 am, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office responded to approximately 1000 activists converging on Ridglan Farms in the town of Blue Mounds.
This looks like a war zone. I adore beagles, but these chaotic people are violent thugs. If they had succeeded, they weren’t going to flee the scene with a beagle under each arm. The beagles would have been released into the wild to be eaten by coyotes or face some other grim death.
JP: CENTCOM using underwater drones to clear mines in the Strait of Hormuz
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that it will be sending underwater drones to help clear the Strait of Hormuz.
Today, we began the process of establishing a new passage, and we will share this safe pathway with the maritime industry soon to encourage the free flow of commerce.
Europe is so embarrassing.
TWZ: F-15E Weapon Systems Officer Shot Down Over Iran Has Been Rescued
The F-15E Weapons System Officer (WSO), missing since his plane was shot down on Friday, has been rescued after a very risky combat search and rescue operation and fierce firefight in southern Iran.
This is a teachable moment.
‘No Kings’ rallies are always scheduled early in the day, so everyone can get home in time to watch Matlock.
Nobody knows what these dotards are trying to say. I wish his highness, the exalted Trump, would call out the pikeman to drive these peasants back to Cracker Barrel or the senior center.
Trump made a Pearl Harbor joke in front Japan’s prime minister and press. The Japanese will view that interaction much differently than Americans do. This post on X may offer some insight.
Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history.
Trump’s Pearl Harbor joke wasn’t an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul.
President Trump was meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan, when a Japanese reporter asked why US allies weren’t given advanced notice before the attack on Iran.
Trump is a funny guy and just puts it out there.
NPR: Joe Kent’s co-author talks about the counterterrorism official’s resignation
If you know who Joe Kent is and are alarmed by his resignation, that’s a sign to go outside and touch grass, smoke grass, get some ass or go to Bass. Islands or Pro Shop, it doesn’t matter, just step away from the political theater.
Iran is posting ridiculous AI videos on Twitter to frighten us with their advanced technology.
This “newly-made advanced military drone” has no propellers for lift. If it could fly, it’s too small to hold more than a pound of explosives.
It’s just so stupid.
JUST IN🇮🇷❌🇮🇱 Iranian Women reveals newly-made advanced military drones that could damage 6X more than Shahed-136 with low cost from $4,500 to $8,000 and continued drones production.

Advocate: Pentagon spent more on lobster in one month than it did on trans health care all year
Stop it queer magazine, I am already proud of our military.
Trans people require ongoing medical care, and that isn’t compatible with military deployment. A peanut allergy can disqualify a person. Being taller than 6 foot, 6 inches tall disqualifies a person, as does taking ADHD medication.
The military exists to attack and defend, not to explore personal life choices. The Pentagon shouldn’t spend anything on trans health care.
