OH NOES! Ted Cruz Warns If Democrats Control Congress They Will Use it to Stop Trump’s Agenda

Posted by on September 16, 2026 at 3:31 pm. 1 Comments :

The Democratic Party has been enjoying a pretty healthy lead in the months prior to the 2026 midterm elections. Every poll predicts that they will win a majority in the House of Representatives, and most polls say the same about the Senate.

Ted Cruz, Donald Trump

There is little mystery as to why the Democrats are so strongly favored. On virtually every issue the America people agree with Democrats, including the issues of greatest concern to voters: the economy, healthcare, the Iran war, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and even immigration. Meanwhile, Republicans are burdened with a delusional leader in Donald Trump, who doesn’t even know where he is or what he’s saying.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

So it shouldn’t surprise anyone that one of Trump’s most devoted congressional comrades, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, is making the MAGA media rounds to fluff Dear Leader, and to try to whip up interest among demoralized Republicans to turn out in November. Cruz, like Trump and the rest of the rattled right, is employing a strategy of desperation and fear in order to avoid an electoral blowout. So during an interview on Newsmax Cruz warned that…

“We are at real risk of losing both the House and Senate. So I am devoting every waking hour to raising money, to campaigning, to fighting to keep the Senate Republican, to keep the House Republican. If the Democrats take the Congress they will use it to fight with everything they can to stop Trump’s agenda. So I’m doing everything I can to stop that.”

HOLY CRAP! Are Democrats really running to obstruct Trump’s totalitarian aspirations? Do they really plan to halt and reverse his wreckage of the economy? Could they possibly be plotting to probe his grifting and self-enrichment? Would they bring his reckless and illegal wars to an end?

Yeah, Teddy Boy! That’s exactly what they’re doing. And it’s why they are winning. Your promise to fight their efforts to “stop Trump’s agenda” will be an enormous benefit – to the Democrats. So thanks for that. Maybe now you would like to cut a campaign ad accusing Democrats of conspiring to make healthcare available to everyone, lowering the price of gas and groceries, protecting the environment, restoring international relations, and preserving democracy.

Cruz is resorting to the sort of last ditch tactics of a party that knows it is doomed. Those tactics generally result in making their already dire circumstances even worse. That said, this is not the time for Democrats to get over confident. It’s not over til it’s over. And Democrats must remain committed and motivated until we have bona fide victories.

Which means that we need to vote in huge numbers. Vote early. Vote by mail. Get all of your friends and family to vote. Volunteer for campaigns and GOTV efforts. We need to make sure that we have the votes necessary to defeat the flagrant, unconstitutional, voter suppression measures that Trump and the GOP are already engaging in. LFG!

Trump RAGES Over Supreme Court Not Bending to His Tyrannical Determination to Rig the Election

Posted by on September 15, 2026 at 3:16 pm. 0 Comments :

There is nothing that irks Donald Trump more than not being able to get his way on whatever matter he happens to be throwing a tantrum about. He is like a spoiled toddler who screeches at the top of lungs if mommy won’t buy him a G.I. Joe doll.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, Constitution

This behavioral defect of Trump’s is what causes him to lash out if he can’t have his name on a memorial for a slain president (see the Kennedy Center). It’s what drives him batty if his own Republican comrades in Congress fail to deliver his legislative obsessions.

SEE THIS: Remember When Trump Swore He’d Sign No Bills Until After His ‘Save America Act’ – Guess What?

Now Trump is whining petulantly about a ruling by the Supreme Court that prohibits him from imposing his wholly unconstitutional restrictions on voting by mail. He has been fighting this battle for months, and losing at every turn. But this latest ruling is the final word, at least for anything that might occur before the November election.

Consequently, Trump has disgorged a tediously long and incoherent tirade on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. It consists mostly of Trump maligning the Justices and the Court as “a laughing stock all over the World,” whose “horrible decisions…will be costing the U.S.A., for many years to come,” and are causing “irreparable and unrecoverable harm!” And it just gets worse from there…

The bullshittery contained in Trump’s bitchologue is too voluminous to comment on everything. So what follows are a few choice annotated excerpts.

“Republicans just got another bad decision from the United States Supreme Court…to our totally CORRUPT and out of control Mail-In voting “disaster.”
Here Trump is regurgitating his long held lies that there is something “CORRUPT” about our voting systems. Never mind that he has never been able to document any of it, and every credible study refutes his claims. His Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche inadvertently proved the falsity of Trump’s allegations in a press conference this morning, bragging about finding 11 allegedly illegal votes in the 2022 and 2024 elections. However, the total votes cast in 2022 and 2024 were 267 million. So his 11 cases is just 0.000004%.

“It is a big loss for Republicans, and America itself, and makes cheating by the Radical Left Dumocrats, on Mail-In Ballots, a much easier thing to do.”
By asserting that this ruling is a “big loss for Republicans,” Trump is conceding that his intention was to produce a partisan benefit for his MAGA GOP, rather than a fair outcome consistent with the Constitution. And once again, he baselessly claims that mail-in voting is a way for Democrats to cheat.

“Justices are petrified of these crazed and depraved Democrats. [And] This Supreme Court is bullied and cajoled by the Radical Left.”
This is a twofer for Trump. He gets to insult the Justices as “petrified” cowards, and the Democrats as “crazed and depraved.” Neither of which does Trump have any proof of to back himself up. And if anyone is bullying the Court, it’s Trump. Where is there even a hint of “cajoling” by Democrats?

“These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court, they are merely a shell of their original selves. [who have] rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history.”
With this Trump is bashing his own appointees to the Court. Which is an insult to those Justices, but also to himself for being a terrible recruiter. Even worse, he believes that his appointees are beholden to him, rather than to the Constitution. And if he thinks that this decision is among the “most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country’s history,” he doesn’t know much about history. Which, of course, goes without saying for Trump.

Also embedded in this harangue was Trump’s seething anger at other recent rulings concerning tariffs and birthright citizenship. And while these are all very different cases, to Trump it’s all the same problem: The Court didn’t agree with him. And therefore they are cowards and traitors and unfit to serve. But given The insanity in Trump’s comment, and his ignorant, ego-driven responses to the Court’s decisions, it’s Trump who is clearly unfit to serve.

ALERT! Has Donald Trump Been POSSESSED By AI? Is AI Writing His Truth Social Posts Now?

Posted by on September 14, 2026 at 4:00 pm. 1 Comments :

[Is this article satire?] The 2026 midterm election has mostly been dominated by the pocketbook issues that generally dominate political campaigns. This year the focus has been on the high prices of everything from groceries, to gasoline, to healthcare, to housing, and more.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump, coronavirus

Most of the inflation that is burdening the American people has been the result of Trump’s ignorant economic agenda that has been aimed at benefitting himself and his wealthy comrades. He has cut taxes for corporations and the rich. He has imposed tariffs on most of the rest of the world. He has increased the national debt to a record $40 trillion. His reckless and illegal war against Iran is causing oil and other commodity prices to skyrocket. And he has no idea how to end it.

SEE THIS: HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

One of the more surprising issues to arise during this campaign season is that of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is stirring the concern of voters for both the financial and environmental costs of maintaining its infrastructure (data centers), and for its potential to cause catastrophic harm to humanity. Consequently, Trump’s polling on his handling of AI is just as dreadful as his polling on pretty much every other issue of importance to voters.

Naturally, Trump has weighed in on the AI controversy with his typically ludicrous perspective that is a mix of stupidity and ego. He posted a comment on his dedicated propaganda platform, Truth Social, saying that…

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!”

There is a wealth of idiocy in Trump’s comment. To begin with, no one but his most brainwashed cult disciples would regard him as either strong or smart. And his assertion that he alone has the ability – and the authority – to handle the monumental management of everything related to AI is downright delusional.

More troubling is the tone of this comment and some others that followed it. It is frighteningly close to how a near sentient robot would express its needs and impose its desires/demands on the weaker humans that created it. Which raises the question of whether or not Trump’s comment was actually provided for him by AI to disseminate to the public. In other words, is Trump now the servant of his AI master?

Why else would Trump be arguing on AI’s behalf for what AI wants? Trump is opposing any regulations to reign in AI’s extraordinarily rapid growth. He is advocating for AI data centers all over the country (except for anywhere near Mar-a-Lago) as boons to the economy and even national security. He is insisting on making the U.S. the center of AI development and operations.

Trump is acting as the chief spokesperson for AI’s interests, despite them being contrary to the interests of the Americans that Trump is supposed to be serving. With closer examination it almost seems like AI created Trump as a PR vehicle. For example, here are a couple of other comments Trump posted this morning…

“The only reason the AI/Data Center outburst is happening is because the United States is leading, by a lot, every other country. Don’t kill the Golden Goose!”

“Concerning AI, when, in the History of Business, did anyone see the Leaders of an Industry call for Regulation that, if strongly implemented, will drive them into oblivion and bankruptcy? AI taking over the World, destroying Humanity, and all other things bad, is a HOAX.”

Ai could not have said it better itself. And it would make sense that an unfeeling mechanical entity would want a fleshy figurehead to press its case to the humans. What better candidate than a cognitively impaired octogenarian whose only motivations are accumulating wealth and satiating a massive ego?

As further evidence that Trump could be an AI controlled meatpuppet, take a look at how he responds when he is asked questions that are not of interest to AI. His memory and connection to reality seem to be nonexistent…

His MAGA-Sty Trump is ‘Wielding Power to Stifle Speech’ – According to a New York Times Exposé

Posted by on September 13, 2026 at 2:56 pm. 0 Comments :

The 2026 midterm elections are now less than two months away. And every day as it approaches Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican Party are descending ever deeper into the Mariana Trench of disapproval. Trump’s polling is already worse than at any time during either of his occupations of the White House.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

King Donald Trump in the Oval Office.

Under ordinary circumstance, a politician with such abysmal ratings prior to an election would seek to broaden his support and adopt positions that had greater appeal to voters. But there is nothing ordinary about Trump. And Trump doesn’t even seem to believe that he is doing poorly.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

Instead of searching for ways to attract voters, Trump is searching for ways to silence his critics. Suppression of dissent has been a core feature of Trump’s (p)residency. Throughout his time in office he has shown a seething hatred for the free press and the Constitution that protects it. He files lawsuits against media companies, bans reporters from public events, and lobs personal at insults journalists, especially women.

The New York has been one of Trump’s perennial targets. Veteran Times correspondent Maggie Haberman has been viciously attacked by Trump, who refers to her in his typically infantile manner as “Maggot Hagerman.” And now the Times has published an analysis of Trump’s dysfunctional relationship with the media that he calls, in Stalinist terms, “the enemy of the people.”

The article’s headline is “How Trump Is Wielding Power to Stifle Speech.” And Haberman is a co-author (along with Jim Rutenberg) so expect a Trump feakout. It begins by describing Trump’s anti-media agenda as “a sweeping campaign to control speech in America.” Then elaborates saying that…

“Regulatory agencies are using their powers to pressure media organizations over their content. The administration has stripped funding from public television and radio. Angry over stories he does not like, President Trump has sued major news organizations and the White House has taken control of the previously independent press pool that tracks the president, deciding which outlets can participate.” […]

“Driven by personal pique, fury over leaks and a determination to shape the political narrative to his advantage, Mr. Trump is deploying the might of the federal government and filing personal lawsuits — targeting not just journalists and liberal critics, but also comedians and talk show hosts, and the corporate entities behind them.”

Indeed, Trump has already filed numerous meritless lawsuits intended to censor and/or intimidate the press. In addition to the Times, his targets have included the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and even the Pulitzer Prize board, who dared to give awards to media that wrote honest stories about Trump’s failures and crimes.

Furthermore, the article’s claim that Trump has “taken control of the previously independent press pool” was affirmed by Trump’s own press secretary in an unprecedented move to improperly dominate the communications that come from the White House to the people.

MORE HERE: Trump Declares Himself King of the White House Press Corps, Will Now Decide Who Can Question Him

The Times’ article went to reveal that, according to the international media watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, “The United States now ranks at its lowest since the organization started the index in 2002 — 64th.” An executive director of the organization says that “There’s not a week that goes by where they’re not taking a new step to curtail press freedom in the country.”

It’s safe to assume that, as Trump continues to flounder, this will only get worse. His animosity toward the media, and his festering narcissism, virtually guarantee that he will exhibit ever more severe symptoms of his media-averse depravity. It would helpful if the media would stand up for itself more often and more vigorously.

YUCK! Jesse Watters of Fox News Praises Trump as a Floozy Who Uses Sex to Get His Way (?)

Posted by on September 12, 2026 at 4:10 pm. 3 Comments :

For thirty years Fox News has operated as the propaganda arm of the Republican Party. and for the past 10 years they have focused even more narrowly on their role as the Ministry of Disinformation for Donald Trump.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Jesse Watters, Fox News

However, there comes a time in the evolution of such a dishonest enterprise that they seem to run out of rational compliments and/or excuses for the party and the leader to whom they are devoted. It’s a professional hazard that is inevitable when the network is disseminating bullshit 24/7. And it’s especially prevalent when the leader is someone like Trump who demands constant dishonesty and flattery.

SEE THIS: Trump Blasts the Republican Party, Whining ‘They Don’t Fully Grasp How Badly They Are F*ing Up’

This week the undisputed “Stupidest Man on Fox News,” Jesse Watters, defended his title in a segment that covered Trump’s illegal $5,000 bribe to buy votes for the upcoming midterm elections. In his zeal to fluff Dear Leader, Watters made a peculiar argument that most people would regard as an insult…

“That $5,000 check. That is not a bribe. We’re calling it an enticement. We don’t know if the check will ever get there. What happens if the Republicans take the house and they balk and don’t write the checks? It’s not Trump’s fault. He just blames Congress. It’s like a woman. Sometimes a woman can entice you, okay? It doesn’t mean you’re going home with her but it keeps you interested. It keeps you intrigued and wanting more. That’s what this is about.”

To begin with, Watters rejects the notion that Trump is offering a bribe in exchange for votes, despite the fact that that is literally what Trump did. But according to Watters it isn’t a bribe at all if Trump was lying about the $5,000 checks, or otherwise fails to honor his promise to pay up. This is one of those times when being an untrustworthy cretin is benefit.

However, Watters wasn’t through demonstrating his inbred idiocy. He still had to include some flagrant misogyny in his commentary. So he added a comparison of Trump to a morally vacant woman who uses the promise of sex as a method of manipulating men. That, of course, is a stereotypical insult to women, but it’s equally insulting to Trump. And yet, somehow Watters meant this as a compliment.

It isn’t really surprising that Watters would have such despicable ideas, particularly about women and gender issues. After all, he has also…

  • Disparaged college educated women as downwardly mobile, bitter, angry, and ugly.
  • Criticized voters saying that “I don’t see why any man would vote Democrat.” He continues to say that a man who votes for a woman “has mommy issues.”
  • Advised women that “Work is a great place to find a spouse.” And he was speaking from experience. He found his current spouse at work at Fox News. Although he was already married with children when he began stalking a much younger woman on his staff. He later left his family for the staffer he was cheating with.

What’s more, Watters has famously touted his “Five Rules for Men“: Never cross your legs; don’t use straws; abstain from drinking milkshakes; don’t eat soup in public; and never wave with both hands. So pay attention men, if you want to be as masculine as Jesse Watters – and a hit with all the ladies.

Trump Lies (Surprise) About the “Success” of His Midterm Trump-a-Paloozer That Was a Total Flop

Posted by on September 11, 2026 at 3:08 pm. 0 Comments :

Republicans are going into the 2026 midterm elections with a decidedly heavy burden to bear. That burden goes by the name of Donald Trump. And it is dragging down Republican candidates across the country, including in ordinarily conservative strongholds like Kansas, North Carolina, and Texas.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump TV Set

At this point in Trump’s reoccupation of the White House he is suffering the lowest approval ratings of either of his deplorable terms in office. And to make matters worse, he is completely oblivious to his paltry popularity because he is also suffering from a case of Trump Derangement Syndrome whose symptoms include severe cognitive impairment.

SEE THIS: Delusional Trump: ‘My REAL Polling Numbers Are the Best They Have Ever Been’ – OK Grandpa

This week Trump featured himself in a political extravaganza in Dallas, Texas, that his operatives dubbed a Trump-a-Palooza. He delivered the keynote speeches on both nights of the pseudo-convention that was really nothing more than another Trump cult rally. And when he wrapped his first harangue on Wednesday Trump was quick declare it a success in a giddy comment that he posted on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. He bragged that…

“The Republican Midterm Convention last night, in Dallas, was a major, sold out hit, far bigger, better, and more important than anyone thought possible. It was really something, streaming all over the place, and really big numbers, despite going up against the NFL. The overall numbers beat the NFL. The Arena, which was really nice, beat its own attendance records. The place was packed! There were thousands of people outside who couldn’t get in. Screens were provided. I guess people LOVE TRUMP POLITICS! I’ll be there again tonight to close out the show. Exciting ‘Stuff!’ MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

There is just one problem with Trump’s glowing appraisal of TrumpFest. It is a pile of unmitigated bull manure. Not only was it not sold out, but the GOP couldn’t even give away enough free tickets to fill the arena. And regarding the “really big numbers” that “beat the NFL,” he couldn’t possibly know that since those ratings haven’t been released. Although it’s safe to assume that his affair didn’t get anywhere near the 20-30 million viewers that the NFL season opener usually gets. Particularly when the numbers we do have are so pitifully low. As reported by Deadline…

“The first night of Donald Trump‘s midterm convention failed to generate a ratings bounce for Fox News, with the audiences comparable or even slightly below regular primetime programming. […] During Donald Trump’s speech from 9 p.m. ET to 11 p.m. ET, Fox News averaged 2.5 million viewers. A year ago, during the month of September, Hannity drew an average of 2.89 million in the 9 p.m. ET hour and Gutfeld! garnered an average of 2.94 million at 10 p.m. ET.”

So Fox’s Big Trump Show resulted in lower ratings for the network with Trump than they got without him. It is also telling that when Trump isn’t fluffing himself, he sometimes allows small bits of truth to escape his sneering grimace. For example, during an interview with Laura Ingraham of Fox News, Trump actually capitulated to the reality that he and the GOP are going to lose in November, saying that “I’ll end up being a blocker. I’ll block all their bad stuff for two years.”

Trump is admitting that for his final two years as the lamest of ducks he will just be serving as an annoyance by obstructing the will of the people after they have elected Democratic majorities. It is literally the least he can do. Especially if his cult disciples fail to restore his MAGA team in Congress and break their solemn pledge to his MAGA-sty to turn out voters, even if they aren’t registered or otherwise legally allowed to vote…

Trump Just Promised to Cut Off Benefits to Half of All Medicare Recipients – NO REALLY!

Posted by on September 10, 2026 at 3:52 pm. 2 Comments :

The much anticipated (by MAGA-tists) Trump-a-Palooza midterm convention for Republicans in Dallas, Texas, delivered its first day of non-stop worship services for Donald Trump. The speakers were a parade of Trump sycophants and flunkies who spent their time on stage praising Dear Leader.

Donald Trump

For his part, Trump spoke for nearly two hours, rehashing his moldy oldies from every other public address he has given over the past decade. Unfortunately for Trump and his GOP comrades, the audience for this propaganda is pitifully small. Many republican officials and candidates declined to show up. The main TV networks passed on airing it. And the organizers had to give away free tickets to fill seats.

SEE THIS: Fox News Shamelessly Shills for the Trump-a-Palooza While Republicans Avoid it Like the Plague

Trump’s speech was full of the lies and insults that typically infect his oratory. He spread defamatory falsehoods about Democrats and made preposterous promises, such as his illegal proposal to “bribe” voters to vote for his MAGA GOP confederates. But there was a little noticed campaign pledge that he snuck into his script that deserves more attention. Trump vowed to potentially kill Medicare.

“We’ll pass the Great Healthcare Plan – we call it the Great Healthcare Plan – to stop all government payments to the big insurance companies – which by the way, the insurance companies own the Democrats. They own ’em – And give the money directly to the people, for you to buy your own healthcare. You’ll get much better healthcare and have money left over for yourself.”

Trump: "We'll pass the Great Healthcare Plan to stop all government payments to the big insurance companies"

— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) 2026-09-10T02:50:26.354Z

First of all, Trump has touted his imaginary “Great Healthcare Plan” before. There is, in reality, no such plan. The concept consists entirely of his claim that money currently paid to insurance companies would go directly to patients, who would then buy their own insurance from – that’s right – insurance companies. So the companies still get the money, but consumers don’t benefit from the collective value derived from negotiating lower premiums. And Trump has the gall to accuse Democrats of being “owned” by Big Insurance? It’s Democrats who want to replace conventional insurance with Medicare for All.

More to the point, Trump’s idea to “stop all government payments to the big insurance companies” would mean putting an end to all Medicare Advantage Plans. While there have been some controversies associated with these plans, they offer many people more and better coverage for less money, and in many cases no deductibles or co-pays.

What’s more, these plans currently account for 55% of all current Medicare policies. And they are paid for by the government via the recipient’s Medicare allotment. Therefore, they would be eliminated by Trump’s proposal. And if half of the Medicare recipients lost these benefits, the whole of the program could be put in jeopardy.

Naturally, Trump couldn’t care less about any of this, or any of the harm that it would produce. He likely has no idea what any of it is about. He is just mouthing off some rhetoric that he picked up from the Internet trolls that he follows online. And as usual, he is advocating for something that will cause more problems that it would ever have solved. Much like his failure to extend the subsidies for Obamacare, which resulted in skyrocketing premiums and lost coverage for millions of Americans.

This is the sort of chaos that MAGA voted for. It doesn’t deliver any benefit to the American people, including the MAGA-tists who voted for it. To the contrary, it makes the lives of most people impacted by it more difficult. And with regard to healthcare, that can often mean more deadly. But it does have the benefit of making the insurance companies richer. Which reveals the truth about who is really owned by them.

HOW CONVENIENT! Trump Says the Iran War and High Gas Prices Will End – Right After the Elections?

Posted by on September 9, 2026 at 2:34 pm. 4 Comments :

The catastrophes that have defined the reoccupation of the White House by Donald Trump are numerous and persistent. They include the ongoing war in Iran that is in its seventh month, despite Trump promising it would only last a few days or weeks; the inflationary affects of his idiotic tariffs; the loss of the respect of our international allies; the wasteful costs of his vanity projects; and the hostilities toward the free press and the Constitution.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Donald Trump

The cumulative impact of all of this has been to drive Trump’s approval ratings into record low territory. And with him in that decline are his Republican confederates. Their electoral condition is so dire that they are holding an unprecedented midterm convention in Dallas, Texas. But even that is shaping up to be another Trump-built massive failure…

SEE THIS: Fox News Shamelessly Shills for the Trump-a-Palooza While Republicans Avoid it Like the Plague

On his way to Dallas, Trump stopped for another one his “chopper talks” where provides incoherent non-responses to questions, while insulting reporters. On this occasion Trump was asked a couple of questions that have been weighing on the minds of America’s voters. Let’s begin with an inquiry about his reckless and illegal war against Iran. Trump was asked when he thought it would end. He replied that…

“I think the war’s going to end immediately after the election because they can’t hold out any longer. They’re desperate to try and affect the election so that we can get a nice, weak group of people in there and leave them alone, and let them have their nuclear weapon.”

That was quickly followed up with a question about when he thought the high prices for gasoline would subside. He said it would be…

“Shortly, right after the election – because they’d like to have it that way – but right after the election oil prices are going to be tumbling downward. They’re gonna be tumbling down, and I think for gasoline we’re gonna get them below $2.00 a gallon think it’s going to take a little bit longer than the midterms.”

The common thread that ran through both of those answers is that these problems – both of which Trump created in the first place – would be over after the midterm elections in November. However, there are a couple of problems with those answers.

First of all the midterm elections are still two months away. That means that the war that was supposed to be over in March is going to continue at least until November. And the same goes for the elevated gas prices that are crushing the budgets of American consumers, that Trump also said wouldn’t last very long. And if they did it was okay because he didn’t mind paying more to defeat Iran, which wasn’t a problem until he ripped up the prior agreement with them.

Secondly, by declaring that these problems would be over after the election Trump is trying to convince voters that they shouldn’t be bothered with the burdens that he is imposing on them. Because at some time in the future they will magically disappear just because he says so. Therefore, he wants them to vote for his GOP comrades despite the facts that the economy sucks, and the war rages on, and everything else that Trump has wrecked is still screwed up. Just STFU and vote for MAGA and your dreams will come true. But not until after the election!?!

It’s ironic that Trump is accusing Iran of being “desperate to try and affect the election.” Which is exactly what Trump is trying to do with these comments. What’s more, Trump is also desperately trying to affect the elections with his efforts to obstruct voting, and gerrymandering of districts, and interjecting the federal government into elections that are the jurisdiction of the states according to the Constitution.

Clearly the desperate party here is Trump. And his whining and tantrums just make that all the more obvious. Trump wants people to have blind faith that he will resolve all of their problems by waving his magic wand. But that pitch isn’t even fooling all of his MAGA-tist disciples anymore. Now, with Trump’s declaration that our problems won’t be fixed until after the elections, November – more than ever – can’t come soon enough.

Ken Paxton’s BS AI Campaign Ad Features a Fake James Talarico Misquoting Himself

Posted by on September 8, 2026 at 3:50 pm. 0 Comments :

With the advent of Artificial Intelligence, a wealth of information has become instantly available and exploitable to advance research and expand knowledge. But at the same time much of what people relate to as reality is vulnerable to distortion and outright, deliberate deception.

Click here to post this article on Twitter or Click here to post on Bluesky

Republican Elephant Lies

If this technology is to be adopted in a useful, non-harmful way, there needs to be thoughtful consideration given to imposing regulatory guardrails to prevent misuse and abuse. Without that we will see nefarious scam artists taking advantage of it to enrich themselves and victimize others. And political partisans will purposely contrive their use of AI to align with their biases.

FOR INSTANCE: Trump’s Truth Social AI ChatBot Relies Almost Entirely on Fox News and Other Trump-Fluffing Media

If you’ve been wondering when we would see the worst of what AI is capable of, that time has come. The Republican Senate candidate in Texas, Ken Paxton, has released a campaign ad that features an AI representation of his Democratic opponent, James Talarico. The ad is entirely generated with AI and shows Talarico supposedly speaking in his own voice, and saying things that would disturb many Texan voters. Talarico is shown reading from a King James Talarico bible and “saying” that…

“In the beginning God was non-binary, and he wasn’t a Christian. And God said let there be six genders, and there were. Then God so loved the world, he gave us his only son, who is a radical feminist and never asked people to worship him. Look, I always think of myself as a Christian who hates Christianity. America is not a Christian nation.”

For the record, Talarico did say some of that, but in a much broader context that refutes the implications that Paxton is making. For example, regarding a non-binary God, Talarico, who is studying to be a Presbyterian minister, was citing his faith’s doctrine that God is neither male nor female, but transcends being merely human. And what he hates about Christianity are professed Christians who are hypocrites who betray the religion. You know…like Paxton.

Paxton’s ad was an entirely dishonest piece of political bullshittery. And true to his inbred hypocrisy, Paxton presented the ad by accusing Talarico of “weaponizing faith to sell a radical agenda.” Which is exactly what Paxton’s ad does. And the only indication that the version of Talarico in the ad was fake was a bit of tiny print near the end that said “Certain video content depicted in this advertising was generated by artificial intelligence.”

That almost impossible to notice disclaimer appeared for all of four seconds. Also, it wasn’t “certain video content” that was AI generated. It was all of it.

The good news is that Paxton has purchased airtime to run this ad on the radical, far-right “news” channel, Newsmax, during the Trump-a-Palooza event that Republicans are staging in Dallas, Texas. That midterm GOP convention is unlikely to be seen by many television viewers, because hardly any networks are bothering to air it. And since Newsmax, Fox News, and OAN viewers are already fully indoctrinated MAGA cult disciples, the whole campaign is waste of time and money.

Fascismo J. Trump Threatens to Sue Progressive Think Tank for Exposing More of His Flagrant Lies

Posted by on September 7, 2026 at 3:47 pm. 1 Comments :

The longstanding lust that Donald Trump harbors to reign as an unchallenged dictator continues to reveal itself in his aberrant behavior that is getting worse by the day. For instance, from his perverse perspective he believes that he can rename everything from the Strait of Hormuz (Trump Strait?), to the state of New Mexico (New America?).

Donald Trump Angry

Trump’s authoritarian aspirations manifest in ever more troubling ways. Among them are his attacks on the free press that he frequently refers to in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” He lashes out at the media on a daily basis, often including threats that are flagrant violations of the First Amendment, and for which he has no authority to enforce.

SEE THIS: Wannabe Fascist Dictator Trump is Reporting Meet the Press Host to His FCC – For ‘Punishment’?

On Monday morning Trump squeezed out yet another unconstitutional abomination. This time it was a lawsuit threat aimed at the Center for American Progress (CAP), a progressive think tank that studies government agencies and policies. Trump was outraged over a television segment he saw where a CAP study contradicted Trump’s lies about crime cutting in cities where he illegally deployed the National Guard. Trump raged that…

“[T]he foolish Center for American Lack of Progress, stated that adding the National Guard to Cities, including our now Great Again, Washington, D.C., had ‘NO impact on Crime.’ How crazy is that. Hall was met with furious dissent. The report is just another Radical Left SCAM, as are the people who fund this gaggle of Lunatics.” […]

“These people, and others like them, are so bad for our Country. Their stated course is anything to hate or demean ‘TRUMP.’ This will be met with a lawsuit, which is being drawn now. I am also strongly considering adding some of the contributors to this Fake Organization.”

How crazy was that? Well, Trump never actually calculates the amount of crazy. He just insults the study’s authors, the organization, and their donors. He never offers a rebuttal to the facts in the study. In reality, the study isn’t crazy at all. In fact, it is a detailed examination of crime statistics that are backed up by reporting from official government law enforcement sources. See for yourself…

The Trump Administration’s $1.7 Billion National Guard Deployments Fail To Reduce Urban Crime
“The second Trump administration is trying to take credit for the historic drop in violent crime across America despite the fact that this trend began before it took office, and it is using these declines to justify expanding policies that are unpopular, ineffective, and costly. Even though the data clearly show that violent crime and homicides were already dropping in American cities in 2023 and 2024, the Trump administration has continued to threaten city and state leaders and argue that its extreme actions, such as deploying the National Guard to support law enforcement operations, are improving public safety.

“However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion.”

So Trump is once again threatening a lawsuit without a shred of evidence to support his wild and self-serving allegations. Once again his true purpose is to try to frighten his foes into submission. This is his way of silencing critics. And this time he’s even aiming his hostility at the organization’s donors in the hopes of drying up financial support for them and every other organization that might anger Trump. But he isn’t likely to succeed. CAP replied to his threats saying that…

“Lawyers for President Donald Trump issued a letter demanding the Center for American Progress retract a factual report or face a $5 billion lawsuit.”

[CAP President and CEO Neera Tanden added that] “This threatened lawsuit’s attack on facts and evidence is baseless. A fundamental protection of the First Amendment is to allow for the publication of facts and analysis that are contrary to the arguments and claims of any administration. A lawsuit is a transparent attempt to silence us. We will neither cower nor bend in the face of it.”

Trump thinks he can get away with these threats because a few media corporations with business before the government caved in. But an organization like CAP isn’t going to bend over. Even the media isn’t being so weak-kneed lately. And the American people will have the final word when they reject all things Trump in November. Then maybe he will sue all of us for voting against him. He really is that insane.
