President ‘The President’ Donald Trump has FIRED Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook, just like in that one TV show he was on, opening up a clear shot for Jerome Powell to get pow pow POWED!

Cook however said she would not resign and that Trump can’t fire her and that they’d have to get one thousand cheetahs to forcibly remove her from the premises if they wanted her gone.

But Trump says the constitution allows it and it’s all because Cook made false statements on her mortgage agreements. What? Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, I think you might need a long long look in the mirror if you’re gonna talk about frauding financial documents.

Lisa ‘Not Lizzo’ Cook is on the board of peeps that determines interest rates which is the main thing that Trump wants a-changing and he will stop a NOTHING, including breaking the law to change it.

She was also appointed by J’Biden, so there’s that.

Trump posted his letter to Cook on Truth Social (what does ‘truth social’ even mean?), claiming that Cook lied about where her primary residency was. “It is inconceivable that you were not aware of your first commitment when making the second,” Trump said.

What Trump forgets, however, is that I don’t care.

Trump Cook Fed Letter — Here’s the letter, but honestly, I wouldn’t bother reading it, it’s really boring.

Markets reacting to all this with just a lil dip, just a lil one, but since the war’s heating up who knows what’s gonna happen as things progress. Maybe someone will die? Who knows?

“If Trump succeeds in replacing Cook, could he reshape the Fed’s composition and how would that impact the market’s perception on US investability?” said Julia Lee, head of client coverage for FTSE Russell. Oh my god please stop I already said I don’t care.

Stop the presses! The Epstein List has been found, and by none other than the greatest sleuths of our generation, the masters of deduction from whom no secret is safe. That’s right: Coldplay.

During an innocent kiss cam at their latest concert, Coldplay spun the camera round to a government agent who happened to be in the crowd reading a particularly dense dossier.

“What are you reading there, a newspaper?” quipped the band’s front man, Chris Martin. “It better not be the Epstein Files!”

Even though Martin meant this as a joke, from the agent’s panicked expression and failed attempt to cover up the document, fans assumed that this was in fact the Epstein client list after all.

Nearby concert goers then rushed the agent and managed to prize the pages out of his hands, before posting pictures of it online, confirming the nature of the files.

Precisely why someone brought the files to a concert, Coldplay or otherwise, why a government official was even attending a concert or why he was wearing sunglasses are all questions that will be answered in the fullness of time, but either way one fact remains clear: no secret is safe from Coldplay.

Tesla has seen its steepest sales slump in over a decade but don’t worry, our newly returned prodigal king has a plan: copy McDonald’s. Introducing the Tesla Diner!

I mean, look at them, they’re a success, right? And what’s so different between a fast food company and a car company anyways? To flagship the pivot, Elon has launched the first Tesla Diner in Los Angeles which opened at 4:20 (yes) on Monday.

It’s just like Nicola always dreamed.

Nerd fans camped out for months to get some robot-served popcorn (classic diner food). Fried chicken, waffles, grilled cheese, tuna melts and a ‘Tesla Burger’ (made with real battery acid) were also on the menu but apparently the bots couldn’t handle that.

Elon tweeted that he wants the diner to become a chain, hoping to phase out production of cars and robots altogether and just focus on flipping burgers by 2027.

Elon McUsk… Elon McDonald… Elon MuskDonald… McDelon… oh god.

But let’s be honest, with Cybertruck happy meal boxes and EV charging ports around the outside, this is clearly just a marketing stunt. A cute pop-up built to make headlines and not much more. Maybe it’ll hang on as a quaint curiosity, but franchise material this ain’t.

Now I know no one cares about this, but I’m mostly thrown off by the aesthetic. It’s marketed as a 1950s diner and it’s playing The Jetsons on the giant LED screens. It’s going for that 50s Americana futurism, but it’s Tesla, so it has to be branded like background set dressing to a Bladerunner film. The result is a mess that can’t decide if it wants to exist in the future or in the past and ends up somewhere slap bang between the two, somewhere roughly in the 2000s, when everything was cheap silver plastic.

Anyway, that’s me off my soapbox. Back to finance or whatever. Tesla stock down, pop-up up.

Oh and the EU has banned EV cars or something? Idk, but it’s something bad for Tesla too. If only Elon was still in charge of the government…

Alright, that’s all the news for today! Have fun, lots of love, Jimmy Balls.

The United States of Canada (remember them?) has repealed its tech-attacking tax bill in a desperate attempt to appease its almighty god south of the border.

Whilst last-minute pull-outs are not normally effective, it seems that the withdrawal method worked this time as Trump has agreed to restart trade talks.

The digital services tax (AKA DST, AKA Don’t Say ‘Trade’, AKA Donald Shit-the-bed Trump) would have taxed the US tech big boys, Amazon, Meta, Google, Apple, MySpace and whoever runs KnowYourMeme.com, a WHOPPING 3% of earnings over $20m.

This light tickle to the biggest companies in the godamn world apparently caused a massive sneeze for Trump, who balked at the ta,x calling it a “blatant attack” and “egregious” and “economically we have such power over Canada”. Trump then proved it by playing his signature move: TARIFFS!

In a statement, Canada’s finance minister, a man with the Frenchest name you ever heard, François-Philippe Champagne, said, “The DST was announced in 2020 to address the fact that many large technology companies operating in Canada may not otherwise pay tax on revenues generated from Canadians.” Huh, maybe this DST doesn’t sound like the worst idea.

Despite Canada’s new leader, Mark Carney, declaring financial independence from America, Trump’s backlash to the backlash worked and Canadia came a crawling back.

Anyone who knows Canada isn’t surprised and potentially Trump was relying on his polite neighbors to cave first with 26,000 sorries and an apology hamper of maple syrup, bacon, and free prescription drugs.

Now both parties say they will agree to new trade terms by 21 July. We’ll see.

Reportedly, Iran is prepping for their upcoming negotiation with President Trump by frantically studying Trump’s 1987 business book, ‘The Art of the Deal’.

“There’s some really good stuff in there,” explained Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei whilst desperately flicking through the pages. “I’m currently on the chapter about ‘hard selling’ and it’s really illuminating. They say if you want to know your enemies, you must think like your enemies.”

Iran’s plan is that by reading Trump’s ghost-written book, they will learn the insides and the outsides of Trump’s mind. By studying his techniques, Iran might know Trump’s weaknesses in order to manipulate him during negotiations towards evil.

On the other hand, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu has been spotted bingeing old episodes of The Apprentice.

“There’s some really good stuff in there,” explained Netanyahu whilst desperately fast forwarding through the show. “I’m currently on the episode where Meat Loaf gets fired, and it’s really illuminating. They say if you want to know your friends, you must think like Meat Loaf.”

President Trump left the G7 summit in Canada early this week in order to return to Washington and deal with those meanies over in the Middle East.

Despite being a long-time ally with Israel, Trump’s primary allegiance is to American national interests, and with Israel continuing further and further into pariah state territory, it is unclear how long Trump and Bibi can remain besties.

But Trump never liked Iran for some reason and since he was a child has rallied against them gaining nuclear weapons. But then again he pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal so you know what, I don’t get it, it’s confusing, it’s complicated, and there are a lot of moving pieces.

Maybe studying the Art of the Deal is the best way to know what’s going on…

The world is still irradiated from the fallout of Elon Musk’s “really big bomb” dropped on Friday, saying that Donald Trump “is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.” Which is weirdly becoming Musk’s go-to comeback.

Musk trump beef epstein tweet — But who hasn’t had a toxic ex accuse them of being a paedophile?

But now Musk has rescinded his words, X’ing, “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.” he has deleted the original Tweet-shit-‘X’, and given a formal explanation for the accusation.

Musk trump beef apology tweet — These will be ancient texts future historians will pore over. Poor bastards.

“I mistyped,” explained Musk. “Obviously, I meant to say Ronald Prump is in the Epstein files. He’s a completely different person who has no relation to Donald Trump. It was an honest mistake.”

Musk Frames Prump

Reportedly, federal agents tracked down a Mr. Ronald Prump in Wausau, Wisconsin, and coordinated a full-scale SWAT operation on his property. In the raid, officers arrested the individual, seized over 4GB of personal computer data, and accidentally shot his dog.

Mr. Prump is currently detained and awaiting trial.

“It’s not every day that you get to catch a big fish like this,” explained an officer involved in the raid. “But this Prump fella’s the worst of the worst. Big time pedo. We got a tip off that goes all the way to the top, so you know it’s legit.”

Mr. Prump’s lawyer denies all exculpations: “The only Epstein my client knows is his Epstein EcoTank ET-4810 A4 Colour Multifunction Inkjet Printer, C11CK57401.”

For those of you living under a rock where it’s warm and quiet and you don’t have to hear about any of this, the Epstein files (AKA the (se)X-files, AKA the pedo-files) are a collection of documents relating to ex-sex-pest J. Epstein, potentially listing numerous high profile individuals involved in his crimes.

The release of these files could potentially reveal irrefutably that Donald Trump was in cahoots with Epstein in a way that evidence like photographs, videos, flight logs, and public statements declaring their friendship never could.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The Palestinian Authority has announced plans to send aid to parts of LA in an effort to help ease growing unrest and conflict.

“We took one look at the state of things and knew they needed help more than we do,” explained General Al-Khatib. “It’s a civil war over there, and something needs to be done. People are getting hurt.”

Upon seeing Palestinian flags in the protest, the Hamas government has reached out to Governor Gavin Newsom to offer support.

“Whilst we don’t negotiate with terrorists,” said Newsom, “We will accept their free stuff if they’re offering.”

The rioting began last week after protests against immigration deportations spiraled out of control. The protesters/rioters (depending on which side of the fence you’re on) are reported to have been looting and burning self-driving cars that were not programmed to handle this kind of situation.

President Trump has sent in the National Guard, but then they got a bit too excited so now he’s had to send in the Marines to fight off the National Guard. Reportedly, the Coast Guard, the ASPCA, and Space Force are on high alert.

…Just as an aside, ‘President Trump sends National Guard to LA to stop rioters burning self driving cars’ is a headline you’d see scroll through the background of some shitty sci-fi movie, not an actual reality we’d have to live through, but here we are…

Speaking of worst timelines, I’ll let ChatGPT finish the rest of this article because honestly, just cba with all this:

Meanwhile, the Palestinian aid convoy—comprised of surplus UN trucks, a DJ booth, and crates of za’atar-flavored MREs—has successfully landed at LAX Terminal 5. Early footage shows one truck being immediately looted by UCLA students who mistook it for a food truck activation.

General Al-Khatib, speaking from a makeshift command tent outside Erewhon, clarified that the mission was “strictly humanitarian,” although he did admit to being “a little curious” about how oat milk costs $14.

The Coalition Grows

Inspired by Palestine’s bold intervention, several other groups have announced similar plans to assist LA:

Vatican City has pledged three priests, a rosary drone, and a pallet of holy sparkling water.
North Korea offered one nuke and a mixtape.
The Swiss, staying neutral, have launched a hotline for therapy appointments priced in gold.

Meanwhile, Qatar Airways announced a direct humanitarian flight into Burbank, filled with influencers, conflict photographers, and at least one camel named “Peaceboy.”

A Tale of Two Californias

Governor Newsom, still in a Patagonia vest and surrounded by a ring light, held a press conference beneath the Hollywood sign (which now reads just “HOOD” after being partially torched by rioters).

“California welcomes all peaceful aid,” Newsom said. “We’re building back better—with help from literally anyone who can spare a drone or a decent WiFi connection.”

When asked about the Trump administration’s role in the chaos, Newsom replied, “At this point, I’d rather be governed by a sentient Roomba.”

Wall Street’s Take

Markets initially dipped on the news before violently rebounding after rumors surfaced that Ray Dalio was planning to go long on LA anarchy futures. Robinhood briefly listed a new ETF: $RIOTX, tracking social unrest, meme stock activity, and used Tesla prices.

Jim Cramer screamed “BUY EVERYTHING” before being tranquilized live on-air.

What Now?

At press time, the Palestinian convoy had successfully set up a “conflict resolution booth” outside a Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake. Early reports indicate that a ceasefire was temporarily achieved when both rioters and National Guard soldiers stopped to enjoy free hummus and freestyle poetry readings.

As the situation continues to unravel with all the dignity of a crypto investor’s Twitter feed, one thing is clear: LA may be down, but it’s not out. And with a little help from Palestine, maybe—just maybe—it’ll make it to Q3.

…There you go, was that fun for you? Did you have fun? Sure you did, things you recognise in unusual contexts is always fun.

To the horror of millions, President Donald Trump has unveiled his ‘golden dome’ live on public television.

Trump made the announcement from the Oval Office, saying he was making good on a promise he made in the campaign. What he was about to unveil, Trump explained, would immediately frighten all their enemies away, for good this time.

“Netanyahu has an Iron Dome, a beautiful dome, I’ve seen it,” continued the President. “But mine is better, I thought, how are we going to make it better? We’re going to make it gold, so now I have a gold dome. It’s very nice, very shiny.”

Trump then proceeded to drop trow and expose himself to everyone in the room and watching live at home. Anyone who witnessed the event can fill out a form online to receive $130,000 in hush money.

The White House has since clarified that this is all a massive misunderstanding and Trump was supposed to unveil a brand new missile defence system called ‘The Golden Dome’. The original plan was to build a giant dome made of solid gold metal that would cover the continental United States and protect it from missile attacks, a device reportedly inspired by ‘The Simpsons Movie’ (2007).

However, it seems that Trump’s potentially deliberate mistake might have been a masterstroke as it appears that just the sight of the President’s national treasures might be more frightening to hostile nations than any missile.

“If your President is crazy enough to do this, who knows what he would do in an all-out war,” commented North Korean spokeswoman Kim Kim-Kim. “We are immediately withdrawing all troops from our borders and declaring unilateral surrender.”

China too has reportedly signed a global peace agreement on the condition that they never have to see Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ ever again.

On the other hand, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was impressed by Trump’s strongman gesture and plans to reveal his ‘Steel Dome’ in the coming months.

Who’s to say if this peace will last or if Trump will have to reveal additional gilded body parts in the future, but for now we have world peace, all thanks to Trump’s golden dome.

In a move that has taken things way too far, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been uninvited from Donald Trump’s “Annual Birthday Barbecue Fun Day”.

The decision comes amid escalating tensions between Powell and President Trump over interest rates, tariffs, and the appropriate ratio of coleslaw to pulled pork.

Jay Powell has remained steadfast against Trump’s polite requests to alter the inflation rate, but the president has been unable to fire the chair or conduct any meaningful punishment because of stupid things like ‘laws’.

Trump has been left with no choice but to hit Jay where it’ll hurt hardest: right in the ribs.

The BDAY-BBQ, a longstanding tradition aimed at fostering camaraderie among the nation’s top officials, will proceed without any camaraderie fostered with the Fed Chair. Attendees can expect the usual fare: grilled meats, patriotic playlists, and spirited debates over monetary policy, but now with one less dissenting voice.

However, the White House assured reporters that this is not retaliation, but merely because he brought a fruit salad last year, and that’s just not on.

“The President just wants to ensure a fun, relaxed atmosphere, and nothing kills the vibe like a Jerome Powell.”

Powell, known for his steadfast commitment to the Fed’s independence, has stayed silent on the matter. However, insider reports suggest he was seen at a local Whole Foods, purchasing a modest selection of artisanal cheeses and a single bottle of kombucha, perhaps signaling plans for a solo picnic.

When reached for comment about this, the White House simply stated, “We wish Chairman Powell all the best in his future culinary endeavors and nothing else.”

Onlookers have begged Trump to end the hostilities. “Things have gone way, way too far,” hyperventilated political pervert, Morris Causden. “I thought he’d done his worst when Trump called Powell ‘Mr. Too Slow’, but I had no idea he could stoop even lower. To uninvite someone from a barbecue? Who would do such a thing? I’m going to hurl.”

“Please end the war! Enough bloodshed!” Mr. Causden added once he had returned from the bathroom. “Can’t we all live in peace?!! AAHHHH!!!”

Well, that’s the news. You can go home now.
