MAGA's not happy that "South Park" celebrated its recent Emmy win by taking a vicious jab at President Donald Trump.

"South Park" posted on X late Sunday night a congratulatory message to Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and the South Park team after they won the award for Outstanding Animated Program.

Over a graphic in which a pantless Trump thrusts the golden award into the air, a caption reads; "You finally got your Emmy."

Variety reports this likely a snarky reference to Trump's poor performance at the Emmys, back when he was the host of "The Apprentice."

Trump was nominated twice in 2004 and 2005 — and lost both times, according to the report.

In newly released seasons of "South Park," Trump appeared as a primary antagonist who literally hops into bed with Satan.

"The grand finale was a PSA starring a deep-faked, naked Trump wandering through the desert," Variety reported. "It ended with a scathing presidential slogan: 'Trump: His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large.'"

The latest jab from "South Park" on Sunday left a frustrated MAGA fuming that Trump had indeed won the Emmy.

"They couldn’t win an Emmy when they were apolitical and made fun of every race, religion, political viewpoint," one X user complained. "But magically the left indoctrinated Emmy Awards praised South Park (it’s hilarious) and gave them an Emmy after years of Trump bashing seasons."

"Trump won them a Emmy," added X user MAGA Elvis. "He wins at everything."

A deported alt-right provocateur claims he's siccing lawyers on the "proud Islamophobe" conspiracy theorist he blames.

On Monday, Milo Yiannopoulos posted on X what appears to be a letter from attorneys at Muslim Legal to Laura Loomer regarding her claim she helped get him deported.

"Our office has been retained by Mr. Milo Yiannopoulos in connection with civil claims arising from reported statements, communications, and conduct concerning his immigration status," the letter states. "You have been identified as a potential party to reasonably anticipated litigation."

Wrote Yiannopoulos in his post, "Let’s playyyyy."

As a reminder, Yiannopoulos is a former Breitbart editor, forced to resign over statements regarding pedophilia, who made a career for himself by publicly calling Black people "apes" and embracing the online bullying of women.

Yiannopoulos reappeared in headlines late last month when President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained and deported him back to the United Kingdom.

Loomer, whose conspiracy theories include the baseless 2024 claim that Haitian immigrants were eating pets and that 9/11 was "an inside job," has claimed credit for the deportation.

"I was the first person to report on the fact that Milo was in the US illegally," Loomer wrote on X. "I reported him to ICE and the FBI."

On Monday, Yiannopoulos claimed he had retained lawyers who are now demanding Loomer not delete or destroy any communications regarding his immigration status.

"Given that litigation concerning this matter is reasonably anticipated, this letter constitutes formal notice of your obligation to preserve potentially relevant evidence," the lawyer's letter states.

"You are hereby requested to take immediate and reasonable steps to preserve all documents, communications, electronically stored information ("ESI"), and other evidence within your possession."

President Donald Trump's sneering comment on Juneteenth — a federal holiday honoring the emancipation of enslaved Black Americans — is haunting him on Labor Day.

The comment — captured in a screenshot and logs of Trump's past social media posts — was hurled back at the White House when it tried to pay homage to American workers.

"This Labor Day, we honor the grit, skill, & spirit of the American worker," the White House stated. "American workers deserve a government that fights for them - the Trump Admin is delivering. To workers across America, thank you."

The responses were seething, and often featured this message from Trump:

"Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either! Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year. It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Trump did not make the comment recently, as former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested earlier this week, but on June 19, 2025 — Juneteenth.

That did not stop Headquarters, the social media account of former Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 campaign team, from reminding Americans that he wrote it.

"Trump says Americans have 'too many working holidays' and that people need to work more days to boost his failing economy," Headquarters wrote.

The White House's public statement on Monday was slammed with comments, several including a screenshot of the original post, and similar summaries.

"Labor Day is supposed to honor the working Americans who built this country," wrote conservative commentator Michael Bennett. "Under Trump’s economy...you’ll need two or three jobs just to afford to live."

Quipped singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas, "NOW GET BACK TO WORK."

President Donald Trump took a moment on Labor Day to remind roughly half of the country he hates them.

Trump's Labor Day message to the nation was hardly one of unity, arguing unintelligent and dangerous leftists want to destroy the U.S.

"Happy Labor Day to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, and Dumocrats who will do anything possible to destroy our Country," Trump wrote.

For context, Trump's administration has triggered warnings from experts about irreparable harm he has caused to the environment, the global economy and the Constitution itself.

"These Deranged People, after fighting for 10 years, should finally acknowledge that your Favorite President (ME!), knows how to WIN," Trump wrote.

Trump did not praise American workers — his post did not include that word — rather, her hurled vague threats about the upcoming midterm election.

"They should be exhausted by now but, sadly, they’re not," Trump wrote. "They’re going to give it one last shot at ruining America, but we’re not going to let that happen. We’re going to win the Midterms, BIG, and SAVE AMERICA!"

Americans risk exposure to anti-parasite drugs and banned antibiotics in chunks of years-old, potentially rotten meat after a controversial friend of Melania Trump's was invited for a meeting at the White House, according to a new analysis.

Eric Schlosser, the author of “Fast Food Nation," penned an opinion piece for the New York Times on Monday in which he strenuously warned Americans to avoid President Donald Trump's 660 million pounds of inexpensive "mystery meat."

"They’re small chunks of frozen meat that could have been kept in cold storage overseas for years," wrote Schlosser. "They are the quintessence of generic industrial meat, imported here to be subsequently processed in massive grinders that combine pieces of tens of thousands of cattle from multiple countries, mainly into fast food hamburgers."

Schlosser argued that the mysterious source of this meat presents a risk because of the problematic processing practices of meat exporters abroad.

Beef from Uruguay was found to be tainted with an anti-parasitic drug and Argentinian beef has repeatedly tested positive for a banned antibiotic that can cause serious blood disorders, Schlosser reported.

Those countries have nothing on Brazil, the world's largest beef exporter.

"In 2017, the Brazilian federal police raided nearly 200 meatpacking plants after allegations that government inspectors and politicians were being bribed to allow the sale of contaminated beef," Schlosser wrote.

"Rotten meat treated with ascorbic acid and other chemicals to mask the contamination had been sold to hospitals and schools in Brazil and also been exported."

In August, Trump announced the U.S. United States would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef into the country, without a usual tariff, for the next 90 days — claiming it would lower prices for American consumers.

But Schlosser argued that the economics aren't going to pan out for American cattle ranchers or consumers, but meatpacking companies and fast food chains.

This is why Schlosser issued a stark warning to his readers.

"If you want to eat a hamburger, I suggest going to your local butcher shop, rather than the supermarket, ordering cuts of American beef, and asking for them to be ground on the premises," he wrote. "Otherwise, there’s really no way of knowing what’s in your meat, or how many international borders it crossed to reach your plate."

So why did Trump cut this problematic deal?

Schlosser has an interesting theory: it came from a White House meeting between Trump and Joesley Batista, the owner of meatpacking giant JBS, who was jailed in Brazil for paying $186 million in bribes to almost 2,000 politicians.

"Mr. Batista gained the White House meeting last November...because of his friendship with Melania Trump," wrote Schlosser. "Not long afterward, JBS got approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, a privilege the company had sought for almost a decade."

President Donald Trump has been caught in a strange grift that involves his Secret Service, his golf course, and his epic love of hot dogs, according to a new report.

Trump likes to play the part of the generous host to his Secret Service at the Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, D.C., where a snack shack beside the 11th tee box sells hot dogs Trump "loves," Forbes reported Monday.

“He has this weird, very odd pride about how good the hot dogs are,” a former club employee told Forbes. “The chef has to be out there. And he’s like, ‘Chef, get everyone a hot dog—all these guys.”

Forbes described Trump's love of the hot dogs on an epic scale.

"On Trump’s personal scale of human achievement," Forbes wrote, "[the wieners] probably rank somewhere between mankind’s first glimpse of gold in a riverbed and the construction of Trump Tower."

There's just one problem with Trump's "gift" to his security team, as Forbes senior editor Dan Alexander revealed to his followers on X: Trump doesn't pay for the dogs.

"Trump is obsessed with the hot dogs at one of his golf courses," Alexander wrote. "So obsessed that he orders one for everyone around him, including his Secret Service detail. Then, according to a former employee, the club bills the Secret Service for the hot dogs."

President Donald Trump's ongoing war in Iran is costing Americans $1 million every two minutes in higher energy prices, according to a Brown University analysis. That's a total of $100 billion in added costs.

"Yes," Brown University confirms to its viewers, "that's $100.0 Billion."

The Iran War Energy Cost Tracker from Brown's Watson School calculates in real time the extra cost paid for gasoline and diesel Americans have paid since the conflict began on Feb. 28.

"We use actual prices that are updated daily," the Watson School states on its website. "Fuel costs are just one part of a war's consequences, but they come directly out of Americans' pockets. These costs are rising."

According to Axios, first to report on the tracker, a recent surge in diesel prices threatens to seriously spike freight and travel prices in the months to come.

Diesel hit an all-time record high on Friday and it continued to rise every day, hitting $5.90 a gallon on Monday morning — up 60% from a year ago, according to Axios.

"Voters consistently say inflation is their most important issue, and on that subject they give the president substantial negative marks," the report notes. "With less than two months until the midterm elections, it'll be hard to temper their anger."

The man accused of attacking Amy Acton, the gubernatorial Democrat candidate, in Ohio is a registered Republican who shared an address with a scandal-plagued volunteer ousted from a Republican senator's campaign, according to multiple reports.

Patrick Havas, 38, has been accused by Acton's campaign of "injuring multiple people" on Sunday when he lunged at the 60-year-old candidate at the Canfield Fair.

Havas was booked at the Mahoning County Jail on charges of disorderly conduct and assault, according to Newsweek, who also reported he is registered Republican and a licensed nurse. Havas had two handguns and brass knuckles with him, the sheriff’s office told Newsweek.

Havas once shared an address with Andrew Havas, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

In July, NBC News reported Andrew Havas resigned from his volunteer roll with Sen. Jon Husted's campaign after it was revealed he'd spent time in jail following accusations of sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old.

Havas, 22 at the time of the incident, pleaded guilty in 2009 to a misdemeanor assault charge and served 90 days in the Mahoning County jail from May to August 2009, according to records provided by the county sheriff’s office to NBC.

Acton has publicly criticized her Republican opponent Vivek Ramaswamy over campaign donations from Andrew Havas, TiffinOhio.net reported.

“Ohioans deserve leaders who exercise good judgment and who put integrity first,” Acton reportedly wrote in July. “I find it appalling that Vivek Ramaswamy accepted over $10,000 from Andrew Havas.”

Both Ramaswamy and Husted have released statements condemning the attack.

"Candidates should be able to meet with voters without having to worry about threats or violence," Ramaswamy’s communications director Connie Luck said in a statement to Newsweek. "What happened today is completely unacceptable and has no place in politics, and we hope that no one was hurt."

"Tina and I are disturbed by the attempted attack on Amy Acton today at the Canfield Fair," Husted wrote on X. "We are grateful for law enforcement’s quick response. There is no place for this kind of behavior, and it must never be tolerated."

There was a bipartisan roasting on MS NOW Sunday afternoon as a Republican strategist and former Democratic lawmaker joyfully mocked President Donald Trump's midterm convention.

Susan Del Percio and former state Rep. Don Calloway (D-MI) chuckled gleefully on "Alex Witt Reports" over the GOP Convention slated to begin in Dallas on Tuesday.

"Midterm conventions are not a thing!" declared Calloway. "The idea that they feel the need to convene and to throw a national thing of this magnitude shows that there's real trouble."

Witt, Del Percio and Calloway all expressed shock at the high price-tag on the various events — and what that money would buy.

Attendees will reportedly be charged $35,000 to take a picture with Vice President JD Vance at an event it will cost $25,000 to attend.

"Are those numbers worth it for that Chris Brown-style meet-and-greet with various politicians?" scoffed Calloway. "Absolutely not!"

Calloway accused Trump and his White House of monetizing their public position for personal gain while they still have the chance; predicting Democrats will regain control of Congress after the race.

"What it does is give the Trump administration one more time to grist to the mill of the grift," he said. "Democrats will probably have the gavel, and there will be some checks for the first time in ten years on his ability to just raise money willy nilly."

Del Percio, for her part, appeared loath to openly condemn Republicans she argued were roped into attending the event to appease Trump.

"No one really wants to go," she said. "But you better have a good reason [not to] because Donald Trump holds a grudge. And that's the other thing. You don't want to be called out by the president."

But Del Percio also couldn't resist the urge to mock the thought of spending $25,000 to take a picture with House Speaker Mike Johnson.

"The whole thing is nuts," she said. "You get to see Mike Johnson, who is your leader anyway?"

Replied Witt, in a one-word response dripping with irony: "Cool."

The top-ranking Republican woman in the House of Representatives brushed off concerns that her party will spend $500,000 in an effort to elect a colleague accused of violently abusing his wife and daughter.

Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) dismissed her colleagues' calls on Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) to resign during a tense interview with Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation" Sunday.

"I support anybody with an R behind their name," said McClain. "I'm focused on...keeping the House, because we are the only party putting money in your product."

Miller has been accused by two former partners of abuse, one of them Emily Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), who alleges her ex-husband broke their daughter's collar bone and scalded her with hot water, court records and reports show.

The Ohio Republican denied all claims and earlier this summer released a trove of documents he felt would prove his innocence.

Those documents included transcripts of fights over hypodermic needles, police reports over threats to knock a person’s teeth out and the words “daddy kill you."

Last week, the National Republican Congressional Committee announced it would spend roughly $450,000 on his campaign, Politico reported.

Republicans who have called on Miller to resign, according to Brennan, include Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH), Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and Sen. Tim Sheehy.

"The guy is clearly a degenerate sociopath," Sheehy said in an X post dated Aug. 6. "Max should step aside and seek help."

These calls prompted Brennan to make an observation and ask a pointed question.

"They also have Rs next to their name," Brennan said. "As the highest ranking woman in Congress, how do you make...peace with that?"

"I hope the allegations aren't true," McClain replied, "but at the end of the day we gotta do what's right for the American people."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth mounted a campaign to oust a four-star general because of a picture he thought was a selfie, according to a new report.

Hegseth's war against Gen. Christopher Donahue was sparked by his dislike of an Army photographer's green-and-black photo of the general, taken with a night-vision monocle, on Aug. 30, 2021, The New York Times revealed Sunday.

"Mr. Hegseth seemed to be fixated on the photo," sources told the Times, "mistakenly referring to it as a 'selfie.'"

The photograph, taken at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, documented Donohue's departure from Afghanistan at 11:59 p.m. — one minute before the deadline for Americans to withdraw.

It was also taken four days after an ISIS suicide bomber killed 13 American service members, according to the report.

"Mr. Hegseth believed that President Trump wanted heads to roll for the deaths," the Times reported. "General Donahue was not responsible for security at the bombing site. But he was a top commander at the airport, and so Mr. Hegseth decided he needed to go."

Joe Kasper, Hegseth’s chief of staff, tried to convince his boss that this was a mistake and prepared a notecard with facts about Donohue that he planned to hand over during a brief car ride, according to the report.

It included information about Donahue's three-decade career, during which he undertook more than 20 deployments, tracked down terrorist leaders and played a central role in the U.S. military’s efforts to help Ukraine push back against Russia, according to the report.

But none of these achievements got top billing on Kasper's card. The first item on the card, according to the Times, clarified a misconception of Hegseth's, that the photo of Donohue wasn't a "selfie."

"The defense secretary glanced at the card and passed it back to his chief of staff," the Times reported. Hegseth said, "I don’t care."

A Republican Senator was held to account Sunday when he tried to dodge a basic question about a member of President Donald Trump's cabinet — then made a startling admission.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) appeared on "Meet the Press" to discuss with host Kristen Welker mounting criticism of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Welker asked Kennedy to comment on Sen. Thom Tillis' (R-NC) renewed call for Hegseth's replacement as the former television personality loses experienced military officials amid a mounting war with Iran.

“I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country,” the North Carolina Republican wrote on X. “I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it."

This prompted Welker to ask Kennedy on Sunday, "Do you still have confidence in Secretary Hegseth?"

The senator scowled and said, "Um."

Then, after a beat, Kennedy smiled as he arrived at a response: "It's not my place to have confidence in him!"

Welker wasn't having it.

"You're a senator," she said.

"Let me finish," Kennedy snapped. "He seems to be firing a lot of good people."

Kennedy then made his admission.

"I'm not worried about the personalities," he said. "I'd probably vote for him again."

The Republican party received a stark warning on CNN Sunday morning as a group of political experts tried to figure out which exactly was Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's biggest problem.

Paxton's campaign against Democrat state Rep. James Talarico — which has Republicans wringing their hands over their vulnerable majority in the Senate — has three major problems, according to the panel.

The first, said Republican strategist Kristin Davis, is messaging.

"It's time to start saying, 'Okay, we really need to make the case,'" she said. "Get out of the Twitter world, get out of the internet, talk about the real life issues that are going on and people in Texas."

But Kate Bedingfield argued Paxton's messaging wasn't ever going to land with a group of voters who represent Paxton's second big problem: women.

Democrats on the ground in Texas have apparently told Bedingfield that the party is having a real problem swaying moderate and independent women to their side.

"Texas is a state where Republicans should not have to, in theory, be spending money to defend a seat that should be, you know, a cakewalk," she said. "He is a very damaged candidate."

The cause of this damage represents the third and biggest problem, argued co-panelist Jamal Simmons: the powerful political leader who endorsed him, President Donald Trump.

"The problem is that Make America Great again is not making America great," he said. "Making America great again is making America look goofy. "

Simmons rattled off a host of problems that have plagued Trump's second administration that included measles outbreaks, rising inflation and trade wars with Canada.

Then Simmons delivered his warning.

"The president is treating Washington, D.C., like it's his own personal amusement park," he said. "This is not what America voted for and I think they're going to punish the president on Election Day."

A fawning member of President Donald Trump's cabinet on Sunday praised a higher power for his boss's character.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared on CNN Sunday morning amid an ongoing war in Iran that has reportedly cost thousands of lives and delivered a severe blow to the global economy with the subsequent and record-breaking spike in gas prices.

"Thank God for President Donald Trump's courage to take this on," Wright said.

Wright argued Trump had acted bravely when he launched an attack on Iran in February without the consent of Congress.

Political analyst David Pakman has called this an "optional war," waged in one of the world's largest oil-producing regions, noting it was not prompted by an invasion or attack on the U.S.

But Wright argued Trump had protected Americans from the potential threat of an Iran armed with a nuclear weapon.

"He did not want to kick the can down the road," said Wright. "This is Iran without nuclear weapons — imagine Iran with nuclear weapons."

This comment was met with criticism on social media who argued Americans had paid a high price to combat a hypothetical threat.

"Iran did not attack us," wrote retired journalist Jack Polakoff. "Oil prices shot up after #Trump launched his unprovoked war. 18 US service members died because of him. It's costing taxpayers billions. We gain nothing."

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) lashed out Sunday at former aides who accused him of ditching constituents for face time on Fox News, arguing they'd masked crucial context: an X post, some flowers and vomit.

In an exclusive report from CNN Fetterman dismissed three claims made by “disgruntled staffers” he argued were out to tarnish his reputation by speaking to the Wall Street Journal and organizing an anonymous account on X.

“Per usual — lies, half-truths, innuendos, smears and anonymous,” Fetterman said. “No matter how many smears or stories, I’m proud to continue to deliver for Pennsylvania.”

Fetterman then responded to three specific anecdotes revealed to the Wall Street Journal he argued had been “stripped of any context and circumstances," CNN reported.

The first was that he complained about frequent meetings with officials from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

"They are worried about vaccines and Medicaid cuts,” an aide told Fetterman. He replied; “Well, I’m not.”

In his statement to CNN, Fetterman said that his comment was just a “dumb joke, and for that, I sincerely apologize.”

Fetterman then responded to the Journal's report that he skipped a funeral for three police officers killed near his hometown and complained the service was too long.

“On the day of that tragedy, we privately ordered flowers to be delivered for their families and expressed my condolences publicly,” Fetterman said, referring to a post on X.

Finally, Fetterman responded to the report that he'd skipped a meeting with three paralyzed veterans, claiming he didn't feel well, then conducted an interview on Fox News.

“I was at home throwing up, so I asked my staff to continue with the meeting which they did," said Fetterman. "Hours later, I felt well enough to continue the day as scheduled.”
