Ladies And Germs - The President
Dirty Donald Trump shocked staff and left members of the royal household appalled after his overnight stay at Windsor Castle during his second state visit to the UK ended with his suite in a state of "total filth," RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Royal Family Disgusted by Filthy Suite
The 79-year-old U.S. president and his wife Melania, 55, were recently feted with all the pomp of a full state welcome in Britain, including a carriage procession with the King and Queen and a glittering white-tie banquet. But behind the scenes, insiders say the royal family were "disgusted" by the condition of Trump's rooms once he departed.
A palace source told us: "It was takeout boxes, tanning sprays and hair products everywhere. The bathroom was littered with bottles, the sinks stained, and his bed sheets had been left completely orange from whatever he uses. People were horrified. This was Windsor Castle, not a roadside motel."
Another insider added: "No one could say no to him. If Trump wanted fast food at 2am, the Secret Service would fetch it. The room smelled of fries and fried chicken by morning. For staff who are used to military precision and spotless suites, it was beyond the pale."
Pomp and Ceremony Masked Chaos
Trump's state visit to the U.K. – the second of his presidency – began on September 16 and lasted three days.
He was greeted on arrival by the Prince and Princess of Wales, joined the King in inspecting a Guard of Honour and dined beneath chandeliers with senior politicians including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
The highlight was a carriage ride through the Windsor estate, accompanied by the Household Cavalry and military bands.
The formalities, however, masked growing unease among those tasked with hosting him.
"The president loves the pomp and ceremony," one official noted before the visit. "But staff quickly saw the chaos that came with it."
Palace Aides Stunned by the Mess
Palace aides said the extent of the mess was unprecedented.
One recalled: "He had sprays and tubs of hair gel scattered across the bathroom. Tan wipes were in the bin, the towels were ruined, and the housekeeping team had to replace nearly everything. It was like a bomb had gone off in Selfridges' cosmetics hall."
Trump has long prided himself on his appearance, once admitting to spending considerable time on his "distinctive" hair.
"But no one expected the trail it would leave," said a source close to his royal visit.
Public Duties Continued Smoothly
Despite the private dismay, the public program proceeded smoothly.
After paying respects at St George's Chapel to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Trump watched a Beating Retreat ceremony on the East Lawn, followed by a flypast from the Red Arrows and US F-35 jets.
That evening he toasted the King at a banquet before retiring to his suite.
The following morning, Trump departed Windsor for Chequers to meet Starmer, inspect the Churchill archives and hold a joint press conference. Behind the polished schedule, staff were still grappling with the aftermath of his stay.
"Everyone has hosted difficult guests," said one insider. "But nothing like this. For many, it was simply revolting."

About That "Speech"
Trump was allotted 15 minutes - he took almost an hour.
A senior foreign UN official stationed in NYC tweeted:
"This man is stark raving mad. Do Americans not see how embarrassing this is?"
So here's a summary of Trump's remarks:
- Your countries all suck
- None of you knows what you're doing
- The US is better at everything, and it's all because of me
- I'm right about everything
- You should listen me and do what I tell you to do
- You should be giving me all the awards and prizes for everything
He's not getting better - he's getting worse - because mental illness does not improve over time.

Trump Is Killing Us
He allowed DOGE to cut all funding to and through USAID. As a result, 12-15 million people will die.
His Big Bamboozle Bill cut a trillion dollars from healthcare, and hundreds of billions from research - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, birth anomalies, environmental risks, food and drug safety, perinatal care, Alzheimer's, and and and.
Takeaways from fired CDC director’s Senate testimony
Susan Monarez told the Senate health committee that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pressured her to back changes to the childhood vaccine schedule.
Susan Monarez, who was fired last month as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told senators Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pressured her to support changes to the childhood vaccine schedule, subverting the agency’s scientific expertise and endangering public health.
The former CDC chief who served in the position for only 29 days, told the Senate’s health committee that Kennedy told her that “he spoke to the president every day about changing the childhood vaccine schedule” and that she “needed to be on board” with coming changes in September. The recommendations from the CDC call for administering multiple vaccines at key milestones, and potential changes to the schedule have alarmed major medical associations who worry the nation’s vaccine infrastructure may crack.
Monarez’s testimony on Capitol Hill marks her first public appearance since the White House fired her in late August. She told the panel she was fired for “holding the line on scientific integrity,” citing concerns about her ability to continue leading the agency while “preserving evidence-based decision-making.”
Throughout the hearing, some senators critical of Kennedy, who has an extensive history of anti-vaccine advocacy, sought to highlight what they believe is at stake: the potential for infectious diseases to reemerge and erosion of trust in public health. Some Republican senators allied with Kennedy pressed Monarez on the details of her meetings with Kennedy, casting her as out of step with the Trump administration and suggesting she was not trustworthy.
Monarez and her lawyers have accused Kennedy of pressuring her to rubber-stamp his vaccine policies and fire vaccine scientists. In a Senate hearing earlier this month, Kennedy told lawmakers he asked Monarez to resign because she admitted she was not “trustworthy,” while conceding that he asked her to fire senior staff.
Andrew Nixon, an HHS spokesman, pushed back against Monarez’s testimony, alleging her remarks have “factual inaccuracies” and “leave out important details.” On X, the official HHS account highlighted testimony from Republican senators who were critical of Monarez during the hearing
“Here’s the reality: Susan Monarez was tasked with returning the CDC to its core mission after decades of bureaucratic inertia, politicized science and mission creep corroded its purpose and squandered public trust,” Nixon said in a statement. “Instead, she acted maliciously to undermine the President’s agenda and was fired as a result.”
Here are takeaways from the hearing:
Monarez alleged political interference
Monarez told senators that Kennedy demanded on Aug. 25 that she commit in advance to approving every recommendation from an influential vaccine advisory panel.
Kennedy recently purged the panel and replaced it with his handpicked members, many of whom have criticized coronavirus vaccine policy. Kennedy also directed her to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy, she said, and to work with political appointees he had put in place at CDC instead of career scientists.
“I had refused to commit to approving vaccine recommendations without evidence, fire career officials without cause, or resign — and I had shared my concerns with this committee,” Monarez said. “I told the secretary that if he believed he could not trust me, he could fire me.”
Monarez also alleged that Kennedy said that agency employees were “killing children, and they don’t care.”
Before Monarez’s ouster, a top aide to Kennedy had informed her that all major CDC policy decisions needed prior political approval.
“I wanted to elevate the absolute need for political review of major policy decisions at CDC,” HHS Chief of Staff Matthew Buckham wrote in an Aug. 19 email, which was obtained and first reported by The Washington Post and highlighted by senators in the hearing. He added that Kennedy’s office and CDC political leadership should “have eyes on the decisions for approval/changes before they go into effect.”
Nixon, the HHS spokesman, said the process Buckham described “is nothing new.”
“As with all federal agencies, major policy and staffing decisions must go through established clearance channels,” he said in a statement. “Susan Monarez bypassed this established process, which is unacceptable.”
Childhood vaccine schedule in the spotlight
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), the health committee’s chair, asked Monarez whether Kennedy ever discussed the childhood vaccine schedule.
During her testimony, Monarez said that Kennedy told her the schedule would be changing as of September — and that she “needed to be on board with it.” An influential vaccine advisory panel is set to meet Thursday and Friday to potentially vote on recommendations for hepatitis B administered to infants after birth and coronavirus vaccines.
Monarez also said Kennedy asked her speak to Aaron Siri, a lawyer for a top anti-vaccine organization and an ally to Kennedy. Siri previously petitioned the government to reconsider its approval of one of the polio vaccines.
In his confirmation hearings, Kennedy told senators “I support the childhood schedule,” but since he assumed the top health post, he has taken steps to revisit it. Public health experts have credited that schedule for reducing the spread of vaccine-preventable diseases and saving lives, while Kennedy and his allies have countered that it imposes too many shots on young children.
RFK Jr.'s showdown with the Senate
The health and human services secretary is facing fire from both sides of the aisle. Plus, red and blue states are splintering on vaccine policy.
Some of Kennedy’s allies on the panel, such as Sens. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), pressed Monarez on whether children receive too many shots. She said she was open to discussing the science but also defended the evidence around the schedule.
“The data associated with those recommendations has been validated and vetted, and that is the current schedule,” Monarez said in a response to questioning from Marshall.
Nixon, the HHS spokesman, said the agency will not restrict access to vaccines.
“We are simply restoring the doctor-patient relationship,” Nixon said. “Anyone can get a vaccine in consultation with their healthcare provider.”
The White House defended the administration’s vaccine plans, citing its recent MAHA Strategy Report that called for developing “the best” childhood vaccine recommendations in the world.
“No one, including Secretary Kennedy and President Trump, is calling to throw out the entire childhood vaccine schedule or eliminate access to lifesaving vaccines,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. “Anyone suggesting that such actions are even on the table does not know what they are talking about.”
Ahead of a key vaccine meeting, hepatitis B vaccine gets airtime
Senators of both parties repeatedly brought up the hepatitis B vaccine ahead of a Thursday meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to reconsider the long-standing recommendation to provide the vaccine at birth. Such a move would mark the first major shift on a routine childhood immunization under Kennedy.
Democrats and Cassidy blasted the effort, arguing it could reverse progress to curtail a serious liver infection.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) pressed Monarez on why newborns receive the shot — skepticism that Kennedy and his allies have echoed, arguing most children are not at risk.
“I was open to the science,” Monarez responded. “I just would not pre-commit to approving all the ACIP recommendations without the science.”
Cassidy, a gastroenterologist and liver specialist, gave a forceful defense of the hepatitis B vaccine in his closing remarks. He said the number of babies who get infected with hepatitis B has been substantially reduced since they began receiving the shot.
“That is an accomplishment to make America healthy again,” Cassidy said in reference to Kennedy’s MAHA movement to address chronic disease and childhood illness. “And we should stand up and salute the people that made that decision, because there’s people who would otherwise be dead if those mothers were not given that option to have their child vaccinated.”
Former top CDC career scientist said Kennedy bypassed scientific process
Earlier this year, Kennedy directed the CDC to no longer recommend the coronavirus vaccine for healthy pregnant women and healthy children. Debra Houry, the CDC’s former chief medical officer who resigned after Monarez’s ouster, said she learned of this from Kennedy’s X post announcing the move.
“After the tweet came out, we asked for a written memo from HHS because I couldn’t implement guidance off of a tweet,” Houry said.
Cassidy frames approach as ‘radical transparency’
Cassidy, who openly wrestled with whether to support Kennedy’s confirmation before voting for the nominee, said he invited Monarez to testify as a “direct response” to President Donald Trump’s call for “radical transparency” into how the government functions. Monarez said she was instructed not to speak directly to senators.
Cassidy is up for reelection next year and has had to weigh flexing his oversight power against a desire to remain in Trump’s good graces. He said he was inviting HHS officials, including Kennedy, to speak with the panel to rebutany remarks at Wednesday’s hearing.
“I don’t prejudge. I don’t know if you’re telling the truth or not. And when Secretary Kennedy comes, I’m keeping an open mind. Let me just say that,” Cassidy said in his closing remarks.
Republican senators allied with Kennedy rushed to his defense.
“Ma’am, all we’re looking for is you to be honest. And you haven’t been,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Oklahoma) said. GOP senators also focused on Monarez’s decision to retain legal counsel, including an extended exchange with Sen. Ashley Moody (R-Florida) when Monarez balked at naming her lawyers Mark S. Zaid and Abbe Lowell. Zaid is a critic of Trump, while Lowell has counted members of Trump’s orbit such as Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump among his high-profile Washington clients.
His Big Bamboozle Bill cut a trillion dollars from healthcare, and hundreds of billions from research - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, birth anomalies, environmental risks, food and drug safety, perinatal care, Alzheimer's, and and and.
The ignorant pricks in Trump's White House, and the gutless fucks on Capitol Hill stand by doing nothing while childhood diseases are given a chance to kill kids - and adults - because of BKjr's unbelievably stupid conspiracy fantasies.
This shit hits home for all of us in one way or another. We're all no more than a couple of degrees separated from someone who has, or will have, some kind of cancer. Biden committed us to a moon-shot-level effort to find a cure for cancer, and Trump gutted it - because (IMO) it was Biden's thing.
This is going to get worse for quite a while, and the time we spend letting it get worse, will be orders of magnitude less than the time we'll have to spend trying to get back to where we were a lousy six months ago.
Trump's legacy is Cruelty, Immiseration, and Death.

It's Getting Worse
- DOJ assigned a thousand FBI people to scour the Epstein Files, and flag Trump's name
- Then they briefed him on it, telling him he's definitely in the files
- Then PammyJo announced they were closing the investigation, and let's just move on
Trumplefucks have been yipping and yapping and refusing to "move on" for a dozen years when it comes to "the vast conspiracy of elites victimizing children". Trump has stoked this shit for them every chance he's had.
And now, there's nothing to see here?
- The coverup is always worse than crime
- Trump always makes it worse for Trump
Also - there may be something brewing behind the scenes, as JD Vance just got back from some kind of powwow with Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch in Montana.

Cooler Heads?
There's nothing that says Iran provoked the US directly. Yes, they're duking it out with our good buddy Israel, but Bibi's not exactly teetering, unless there's big pushback domestically (which I don't know about, and I haven't spent much time looking into).
What I'm pretty sure about is that there's been plenty of pressure from Tel Aviv, and from Mike Huckabee at our embassy in Jerusalem.
And most of the regular people in the world would agree that we need to prevent Iran from getting the bomb.
But the deal was in place for Iran to forego their nuclear ambitions - or at least to postpone or redirect their program - and that's what Trump scuttled in his first term.
So now we have Trump making us look like asshole bullies, giving Tehran the chance to look smarter and cooler by going proportional.
Everything Trump touches turns to shit.
Iran said its missile attack on Al Udeid air base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, signaling Iran’s likely desire to deescalate, AP reports.
Iran made the announcement on Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries.
Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.
Iran gave advanced warning of attack to Qatar - reports
Iran coordinated its strikes on US bases in Qatar with Qatari officials in advance in a bid to minimize casualties, the New York Times is reporting, citing three Iranian officials.
Reuters is also reporting that Iran gave advanced warning to Qatar, prompting air space closure earlier, citing a source familiar with the matter.
In his statement in my last post, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari confirmed there had been no casualties and said: “The base had been evacuated earlier, following established security and precautionary measures, given the tensions in the region.”

Qatar condemns Iranian attack on US base and says no casualties reported
Here’s more on that Qatari response.
Qatar has condemned Iran’s attack on the Al Udeid air base and said that “Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner equivalent with the nature and scale of this brazen aggression, in line with international law”.
In a post on X the Qatari foreign affairs ministry spokesperson Majed Al Ansari added that “Qatar’s air defenses successfully thwarted the attack and intercepted the Iranian missiles” and there had been no casualties.
He said Qatar had warned of the dangers of Israeli escalation in the region and called for “the immediate cessation of all military actions and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue”.
