I think Hulk Hogan’s fans are getting seriously deranged over that fact that he’s not receiving the level of tributes that Ozzy is. To wit:

Quote:Billy Long, the former auctioneer and Republican congressman who was confirmed less than two months ago as head of the Internal Revenue Service, has been abruptly removed from the post by President Trump, the administration disclosed on Friday.

Mr. Long, who had little background in tax policy beyond promoting a fraud-riddled tax credit, had clashed at times with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during his brief tenure, three people familiar with the decision said. He also made high-profile mistakes, at one point last month telling tax practitioners that the agency’s all-important filing season would start late next year, a statement that the I.R.S. later said was premature.

Hot take: his replacement will also be an incompetent fraud.

It's all about whether you can keep it under cover.

This entire administration is a master class in the application of the Peter Principle.

'Actor' Dean Cain has joined ICE. I'm looking forward to video of him trying to run down an immigrant. Should be fun.

Dean Tanaka, at least 1/4th Japanese.

A "man" whose grandparents spent time in American internment camps during WW2, it seems.
