PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WJAR) – A man in Rhode Island bought his wife a Donald Trump-branded watch as a gift, but what they got was a “Rump” watch due to an unfortunate typo on the watch face. Tim Petit paid $640 for a limited-edition Trump watch that is only one of 250 made. “I thought it was really nice. It was beautiful, and I knew it would be something that she’d like,” he said. Petit bought the watch after hearing an ad for it on the radio, featuring Trump himself. “With the president’s voice … I was curious, so I went on the website,” he said. Petit went to gettrumpwatches.com and picked out the Pink Inauguration First Lady model for his wife. Melanie Petit said she likes the style, but it’s what the watch is missing – the “T” in “Trump” – that makes it stand out. “I noticed it right away. The T is missing. It just says R-U-M-P,” she said. The Petits are wondering why a watch with such a glaring error was allowed to be shipped out. “How could they process this and go through something without checking their work?” Melanie Petit asked. “I’m very disappointed,” Tim Petit said. “I want it to be a special thing for her. And we had expected that it would have the integrity of the president of the United States and good follow through.” The gettrumpwatches.com website calls its products the “official watches of President Trump,” but in the small print, it notes that it licenses the name and likeness. The site also states that it has nothing to do with any political campaign, that the watches are not designed, manufactured, distributed, or sold by Donald J. Trump, the Trump Organization, or any of their respective affiliates or principals. “I think that someone needs to be aware of it [the mistake] in their licensing department, that someone’s dropped the ball big time,” Tim Petit said. “And an apology would be nice for making my wife cry.” The couple was initially frustrated because they were having trouble getting a response from the company, but they said the company has since reached out to apologize. The company is planning to replace the watch and offered the Petits an $800 coupon to buy something else on the site. https://www.azfamily.com/2025/05/14...-missing-t-trump-branded-watch-that-cost-640/
National Intelligence Council issued an assessment that Tren de Aragua has no ties to Venezuelan government and MS-13 is only a street gang with no political affiliation. So Russian asset Tulsi Gabbard fired the National Intelligence Council, accusing them of "politicization of intelligence". In looking glass world of MAGA, an independent intelligence assessment that does not repeat whatever Trump says is "politicaztion".
Now ICE Barbie Wants Her Own Brand New $50M Private Jet Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appears to have taken her cue from President Donald Trump with a new request for her own private jet. The U.S. Coast Guard made a last-minute change to its 2025 budget to secure a $50 million new plane for Noem, Illinois Rep. Lauren Underwood revealed in a Wednesday hearing of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. “I was horrified last Friday when we received a last-minute addition to your spend plan for Fiscal [Year] ‘25: A new $50 million Gulfstream 5 for Secretary Noem’s personal travel coming from the Coast Guard budget,” Underwood told acting Coast Guard Chief Admiral Kevin Lunday. “She already has a Gulfstream 5, by the way. This is a new one.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...her-own-brand-new-50m-private-jet/ar-AA1ENka1
So she already has a private Jet and is asking for another one? Didn't she already spend her whole allotted annual budget? She should just be told no.
@SlyPokerDog beat me to story, of course he would track dog killer. Meanwhile, brain worm, wizard of Oz and rwo other very rich people wrote op ed in New York Times telling people on Medicaid their free ride is over.
Not anymore; I've had a couple of beagle/bassett mixes, and loved them dearly. My name is mostly a pun on Everything Bagel, which is what my first avatar icon was.
I had a beagle/putbulll mix. Sweet dog, but ruled by her nose. But also HATED squirrels. She would easily climb up 20 in a tree to go after them. Never seen a dog who could climb trees like that.
